These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source,the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column. Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out,this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous,copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied. Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally,effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible,care should betaken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes,phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero. Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity,this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

Plant 1-2" deep.Plant populations should be determined by the hybrid being planted. Increase the seeding rate by 10%when planting no-till. Phosphorus and potassium recommended by a soil test can be broadcast or banded at planting. When planting early in cool,wet soil, banded phosphorus will be more available to the young plants.An accepted practice is to apply 20-301bs/acre N and 20-30 lbs/acre phosphorus banded as a starter and one-half the remaining N behind the planter. The rest of the N should be applied about 30-40 days after emergence. The total amount of N is dependent on soil type. When including a starter in the fertilizer program,the recommended potassium and any additional phosphorus is normally broadcast at planting. Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the corn. Timely management of weeds and insects are essential for corn production.

C] uo Emergency Action Plan This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operations are leafing, overflowing, or running off the site. You should NOT wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks can happen at any time. 1) Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to problems are listed below: a) Lagoon overflow: • add soil to the berm to increase the elevation of the dam • pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate • stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers) ■ call a pumping contractor • make sure no surface water is entering the lagoon Note: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level. b) Runoff from waste application field: • immediately stop waste application • create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field • incorporate waste to reduce further runoff c) Leaking form the waste distribution system: ■ pipes and sprinklers: 0 stop recycle (flushing system) pump * stop irrigation pump O close valves to eliminate further discharge a separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow r � • flush system, houses, solids separators: (D stop recycle (flushing system) pump 0 step irrigation pump 0 make sure no siphon effect has been created Q separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow d) Leakage from base or sidewall of the lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed to flawing leaks: • dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back into the lagoon. • if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil. • other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil. Note: For permanent repair measures, lagoon problems rewire the consultation of� an individual experienced in their design and installation. 2) Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages. a) Did the waste reach any surface waters? b) Approximately how much was released and for what duration? c) Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage? 3) Contact appropriate agencies. a) During normal business hours, call your DWQ regional office: f910 3} 9L39-0 after hours, emergency number: 1-800- 58.0368. Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident, the exact location of the facility, and the location or direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions, what corrective measures have been taken, and the seriousness of the situation. b) If the spill leaves the property or enters surface waters, call the local EMS: 296-2160. c) Instruct EMS to contact the loegi Health Department: 296-2130. -2- y ` d) Contact CES: 296• 143 local NRCS office: 296 2120 and your integrator; - 4) Implement procedures as advised by DWQ and technical assistance agencies to rectify the damage, repair the system, and reassess the waste management plan to keep problems with release of wastes from happening again, S) Contact contract pumping and/or irrigation equipment companies; a) -- - b) c) 6) Contact dirt moving and/or heavy equipment companies; a) b) c) -3- Operator.JOHN SOUTHERLAND County: DUPLIN Date: 03/10/94 Distance to nearest residence (other than owner) : 1000. 0 Feet STEADY STATE LIVE WEIGHT 0 sows (farrow to finish) x 1417 lbs. = 0 lbs 0 sows (farrow to feeder) x 522 lbs. = 0 lbs 1760 head (finishing only) x 135 lbs. = 237600 lbs 0 sows (farrow to wean) x 433 lbs. = 0 lbs 0 head (wean to feeder) x 30 lbs. = 0 lbs TOTAL STEADY STATE LIVE WEIGHT (SSLW) = 237600 lbs 2 .

DESIGNED By:f� APPROVED BY: DATE • ; E � � � �] ��{' DATE: i� NOTE: SEE ATTACHED WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN COMMENTS: SCS DOES NOT CERTIFY THAT EXCAVATION ANP FILL Vi�LIJIYlES ARE CORRECT OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN ------------------------------ This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) with min. odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to soil conditions flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the. system. The designed 6 months temporary storage is an estimated volume based on: 1) waste from animals; 2) excess rainfall after evaporation; and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day) rainfall that occurs on the average of once every 25 years. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year. This estimate is based on 7 inches of excess rainfall which is equal to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in a year. The average annual excess rainfall is approximately 8 inches. Therefore, an average of 8 inches of excess rainfall will need to be pumped each year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from building(s) . If the outlet pipe is not installed on the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed on this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain minimum treatment depth (6 feet) . Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre- charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start-up. Pre-charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling. 2 . The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. _ This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment) before land application. 3 . Begin pump-out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva- tion 49.7 as marked by permanent marker, stop pump-out when the fluid level reaches elevation 47.6 or before the fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria) . The design temporary storage, less 25 year storm is 88498 cubic feet or 661964 gallons. As stated before, this volume will vary considerably from year to year. 4 . The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is o. 3 inch per hour. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand, S. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8 . Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within Zoo feet of a residence or within 104 feet of a well. 9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ- mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law. t
