Storage Structure: Anaerobic lagoon
Storage Period: >180 days
Application Method: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates,leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining,or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than
30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.

This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change
methods in the future,you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application
methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made,which could
allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to
be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must
be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan,if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields(i.e.small grain,etc,interseeded in bermuda),forage must be removed
through grazing,hay,and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain,etc,is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity,especially late in the season(i.e.
April or May). Shading may result If small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation,you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season,depending on the
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain,etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting- Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at
agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to
prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 432 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon
sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years,you will have approximately 2160 pounds of plant
available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre,you will need 7 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre,you will need 17.28 acres of land. Please note that these
are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values
may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application
Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type,crop,and realistic yield expectations for the specific
application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION:
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation
such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil
structure,soil texture,water droplet size,and organic solids. The application amount should not
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the
plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,it is the responsibility of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
*This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations,the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for>180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of
freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1 Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide
evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity,
allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the
owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Utilization Plan
when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of
application, recievinq crop type, or available land.
3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop
yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for
other nutrients.
4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste
may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons
per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field(See
USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393-Filter Strips).
5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field.
6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland.When waste is applied to conservation tilled
crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur
during a season prone to flooding (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for
guidance).
7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.

(continued)
9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage
from animal waste should also be considered.
10 Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils
with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be
held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients.
Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1,
1995, shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters.
12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over-spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland
provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge
directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system.

17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to
protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc.,
are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed
and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of
erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19 Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns,leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on site.
20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct
human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption, it should only be applied pre-plant with no further applications of animal
waste during the crop season.
21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be
managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to
mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually
at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate-determining
nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients,
resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in
the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals
approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop
production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years.
Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five
years.
23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
FOUNDATION PREPARATION: '
The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be cleared of
trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders, sod, and rubbish. Satisfactory disposition
will be made of all debris. The topsoil from the lagoon and pad area should be stripped
and stockpiled for use on the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area
of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior to placing
the first lift of fill material to get a good bond.
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT
The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines; grades, and elevations
shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen
soil, stones over 6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent they
are suitable, excavated material may be used as fill. The fill shall be brought up in
approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness when loose and prior
to compaction. Each layer will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and
spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or equivalent method. Compaction will
be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that
settlement is not readily detectable. NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR
PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION.
The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials from
the required excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for settlement.
Dikes over 15 feet in height with an impoundment capacity of 10 acre—feet or more fall
under the jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law and require permitting by the NC Dept. of
Environment, Health and Natural Resources, Land Quality Section. The height is defined
as the difference in elevation from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike.
Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and
sedimentation.
LINER:
THE MINIMUM REQUIRED CLAY LINER THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.5 FT.
NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN INDICATED ON THE
DRAWINGS OR WHEN MATERIAL IS ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION THAT
WILL NOT PROVIDE THE PERMEABILITY LIMITS AS STATED LATER IN THIS SECTION.
SUCH MATERIAL IS CONSIDERED UNSUITABLE WITH RESPECT TO LINING. A TYPICAL
CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DRAWINGS WHEN LINERS
ARE REQUIRED.

When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be overexcavated below
finish grade to the specified depth as measured perpendicular to the finish grade. The
foundation shall be backfilled as specified to grade with a material approved by the
engineer or his representative.
REFER TO THE DRAWINGS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS.
Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The minimum moisture
content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture content which relates to that
moisture content when the soil is kneaded in the hand it will form a ball which does not
readily separate. Water shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture
content during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner material shall not
be less than optimum moisture content during placement. The maximum moisture
content relates to the soil material being too wet for efficient use of hauling equipment and
proper compaction. Proper compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and
compacted to at least 95 percent of the Standard Proctor Maximum Dry Density
(ASTM D698) of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift shall be scarified
and moistened as needed before placement of the next lift
The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted permeability of a clay
liner, other than the type of clay used for the liner, is the efficient construction processing
of the compacted liner. The sequence of equipment in an established pattern helps
assure uniformity in the entire placement and compaction process. For most clay soils, a
tamping or sheepsfoot roller is the preferred type of compaction equipment
In accordance with NRCS South National Technical Center (SNTC) Technical Note 716
(revised September 1993) the maximum allowable specific discharge of the liner is
1.0 x 10-5 cm/sec. This specific discharge is dependant on the permeability of the
liner material, the liner thickness, and the hydrostatic pressure on the liner. With the
minimum required liner thickness stated earlier and the maximum liquid depth in the
lagoon, the maximum permeability of the compacted liner is 1.25 x 10-6cm/sec. Upon
completion of the liner, undisturbed samples will be taken and tested for actual
permeability. Any permeability tests indicating a higher permeability than stated above
will be considered as failing. Failing tests will require recompaction of the liner material
and retesting.
For lagoons being built in soils which do not require clay lining the same permeability
requirements apply as for clay liners and testing of the in—situ material will be conducted.
During the excavation process, soils at the excavated surface are loosened as adjacent
material is being removed. As a result, the permeability of these surface soils is increased.
To insure proper compaction and minimum soil permeability, when lagoon excavation is
complete the inner side slopes and bottom shall be rolled thoroughly prior to testing.

The soil liner shall be protected from scour produced by the discharge from waste outlet
pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator: concrete flumes,
concrete blocks laid tightly together, or using flexible pipe outlets on waste pipes.
Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant. When these are
specified, additional construction specifications are included with this Construction
Specification or are shown on the drawings.
CUTOFF TRENCH:
A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when called for in the
notes on the drawings or as shown on a typical cross section on the drawings. The final
dimensions of the cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation
materials during construction.
VEGETATION:
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the
planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction according to the
seeding specifications. Topsoil, if available on site should be placed on areas of the dike
and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch shall be used if recommended
permanent vegetation is out of season dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should
be established as soon as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates.
REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS:
An observation trench shall be dug along the perimeter of the lagoon 25 feet outside the
proposed embankment toe to verify that no subsurface drain tile lines are present in the
lagoon area. The trench shall be dug to a minimum depth of five feet and shall have a width
adequate to accommodate equipment used for backfill and compaction. Trench side
slopes shall be 1:1 or flatter. Trench backfill shall be compacted as stated in the
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT section of the specification.
When tile drains are encountered, the the will be removed to a minimum of 25 feet beyond
the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile trench shall be backfilled and compacted with
material approved by the engineer or his representative. Tile drains that are not removed
shall be either capped off or rerouted around the lagoon, as directed by the engineer or
his representative.
SAFETY AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS:
All operations shall be carried out in a safe, skillful, and workmanlike manner. All safety and
health regulations shall be observed and appropriate personal safety and health measures
used at all times during construction.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and 180 days of
temporary storage. The time required for the planned fluid level (permanent and
temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing
operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days of temporary storage for:
(1) manure production of animals, (2) excess fresh water storage, (3) rainfall in
excess of evaporation, (4) storage for the 25 year/24 hour storm for the location,
(5) and, if applicable, an additional "heavy rain" storage volume for chronic rainfall
events. Allocation for any additional fresh water usage is also included in the
temporary storage. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals
will be fairly constant throughout the year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to 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 staff gauge must be installed in the.lagoon that indicates the start pumping and stop
pumping levels. The start pumping level is the maxium liquid level under normal operating
conditions. The stop pumping level is the minimum liquid level under normal
operation to maintain required treatment volume and depth. Pumping can be started
and stopped anywhere 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. However, it is recommended that the lagoon be kept
pumped down as much as possible.
Land application of wastewater is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal.
Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling guns. Care
should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops or runoff to surface
waters.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is required that the treatment lagoon be precharged to one—half the treatent volume
or as otherwise specified on the lagoon design drawings before wastes are introduced.
The purpose is to prevent excessive odors during start—up. Precharging 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.
(A2. The attached Waste Utilization Plan shall be followed. The plan recommends
l sampling and testing of waste before land application.

3. Begin temporary storage pump—out of the lagoon when the fluid level reaches the
elevation 104.60 as marked by the staff gauge. Stop pump—out when the fluid level
reaches elevation 101.90. This temporary storage, less 25 year/ 24 hour storm,
contains 100537 cubic feet or 752020 gallons.
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the
recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inches per hour. Refer to the waste
utilization plan for further details.
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.
6. Repair any eroded or damaged areas 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 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall
be applied in a manner such that waste will not reach other property or public
rights—of—way.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters
of the United States. Waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by either discharge or by over—spraying. The Department of Environment,
Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality, has the responsiblilty for
enforcing this law.

Mortality Management Methods
Indicate which method(s) will be implemented.
When selecting multiple methods indicate a primary versus secondary option.
Methods other than those listed must be approved by the State Veterinarian.
Primary Secondary Routine Mortality
a a Burial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours of knowledge of animal
death. The burial must be at least 300 feet from any flowing stream or public body of water
(G.S.106-403). The bottom of the burial pit should be at least one foot above the seasonal
high water table.Attach burial location map and plan.
El D Landfill at municipal solid waste facility permitted by NC DEQ under GS 15A NCAC
13B .0200.
Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7.
Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0102.
A composting system approved and permitted by the NC Department of Agriculture&Con-
sumer Services Veterinary Division (attach copy of permit). If compost is distributed off-farm,
additional requirements must be met and a permit is required from NC DEQ.
a In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design approved by the
NC Department of Agriculture&Consumer Services (G.S. 106-549.70).
a Any method which, in the professional opiniontof the State Veterinarian, would make possible
the salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering human or animal health.
(Written approval by the State Veterinarian must be attached).
Mass Mortality Plan
Mass mortality plans are required for farms covered by an NPDES permit. These plans are
also recommended for all animal operations. This plan outlines farm-specific mortality man-
agement methods to be used for mass mortality. The NCDA&CS Veterinary Division sup-
ports a variety of emergency mortality disposal options; contact the Division for guidance.
• A catastrophic mortality disposal plan is part of the facility's CAWMP and is activated
when numbers of dead animals exceed normal mortality rates as specified by the State
Veterinarian.
• Burial must be done in accordance with NC General Statutes and NCDA&CS Veterinary
Division regulations and guidance.
• Mass burial sites are subject to additional permit conditions(refer to facility's animal
waste management system permit).
• In the event of imminent threat of a disease emergency, the State Veterinarian may enact
additional temporary procedures or measures for disposal according to G.S. 106-399.4.
