Producer: Dallas Miller
Location: 1913 Browning View Road, Morganton, NC 28655
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Swine -Farrow to Finish
Number of Animals: 135
(Design Capacity)
Storage Structure(s): Two anaerobic waste treatment lagoons
Application Method (s) : Irrigation -traveling gun
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.
You must have the animal waste analyzed to determine nutrient content
as close to the time of application as practical and at least within
60 days of the date of application before each application cycle.
Soil nutrients in all fields where waste will be applied must be
analyzed at least annually so that all plant nutrients can be balanced
for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Soil test and waste
analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years.
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. Lime must be
applied to application fields as recommended by soil test to
maintain the plant uptake of nutrients.
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 not be applied to land eroding at
greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special
precautions, (see Required Specification No. 4) waste may be
applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining,
or when the surface is frozen. These conditions may result
in runoff to surface waters which is a violation of the
1

North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) .0200
regulations.
5. Wind conditions at the time of field application of waste
should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. To maximize the value of nutrients for
to reduce the potential for pollution,
applied to a growing crop. Otherwise
earlier than 30 days prior to planting
forages breaking dormancy. Injecting
incorporating the waste below the soil
nutrients and reduce odor problems.
crop production and
the waste should be
apply waste no
a crop or prior to
or otherwise
surface will conserve
7. Zinc and copper levels in the soils in all fields where
waste is applied shall be monitored and alternative
application fields shall be used when these metals approach
excess levels.
This plan is based on waste application by irrigation, for.this is the
manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to
alter the method(s) of application in the future, you need to revise
this plan. Nutrient levels for various waste application methods are
not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for swine farrow to finish systems in North
Carolina. Actual acreage requirements shall be based on waste
analysis reports from lagoons in your waste management system.
Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques,
preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
Your two anaerobic waste treatment lagoons are estimated to contain a
total combined volume of 2.9 million gallons. Of this volume, 1.4
million gallons is required for the anaerobic treatment of the waste.
The remaining volume of 1.5 million gallons can be used for temporary
storage of waste and waste water. This temporary storage is the
volume of wastewater that is removed from the lagoons and irrigated on
grass. Temporary storage recommended for this size of operation is
1.4 million gallons. Sludge accumulation decreases the temporary
storage capacity and thus decreases the temporary storage period.
Operated properly, your waste treatment lagoons are estimated to have
365 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be
removed on the average of once every twelve months. However, to
properly land apply the waste on your land and gain the most nutrient
benefit, will require removal of the temporary storage at least every
six months. In no instance should the liquid level in your lagoons be
higher than the maximum storage marker except in the event of a 25
year, 24 hour storm.
2

Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis
report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and
the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
The waste management system which is covered by this waste utilization
plan shall be operated only by persons which hold a valid certificate
as an operator in charge of an animal waste management system. The
North Carolina Water Quality Commission will provide training and
certification of operators.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 (the .0200 rules) adopted by the
Water Quality Commission.

ESTIMATE OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN
FROM LIQUID WASTE
Amount of Waste Produced Per Year
135 animals X 14,478 gallons of waste* /animal /day X 365 days
=1,414,530 gallons of waste per year
*Includes total liquid manure plus average annual rainfall surplus
incindental to lagoon surface.
Total animal waste and waste water volume generated in
one year is approximately 1,414,530 gallons
or 52 acre -inches.
26 lbs. Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) per sow
per year from waste and waste water X 135 sows
= 31510 Total lbs. PAN per year
Applying the above amount of waste as calculated above is a big job.
You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste
in a timely manner.

W.LaS7'E U.TILIZNmmR6
....-- ...... .........
Values used above are based on analysis of waste
from similar livestock operations in North
Carolina (source: USDA-NRCS FOTG Practice Standard
633-46 Waste Utilization). Actual nutrient
content of the waste from this system may vary
from these values. Waste analysis should be made
of the actual waste as soon as possible after
significant waste accumulates in the storage
structure(s).
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.
The lagoon at your operation will, accumulate sludge. This sludge must
be removed periodically and land applied at agronomic rates. The
sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures
to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements.
Your operation will produce approximately 1,135 pounds of plant
available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be
removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting the
sludge. Be 'aware that additional acres of land, as well as special
equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the infiltration
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.
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 tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates
and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan
invalid.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying forage plants under
stress condition. Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling
forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended.

WASTE APPLICATION TABLES
The crop fields shown in the Waste Application Tables that follow are
available for waste application. It will not be necessary and may not
be desirable to apply waste to each of these fields in any given year.
The Lbs. of Nitrogen Per Acre shown in the tables are estimated annual
nitrogen (N) requirements of the crop to be grown based on the
potential productivity of the soil and assuming no double cropping.
The Recommended Lbs. of N to be Applied per acre indicates the
Nitrogen that can be reasonably applied to the crop and used by the
crop in a timely manner using animal waste alone. It will not be
practical to meet all the nutrient needs of some crops with animal
waste. Supplemental applications of commercial fertilizer may be
required during the growing season in order to meet all crop nutrient
needs. It is assumed that for certain row crops only a fraction of
the total annual nitrogen requirement can be applied using animal
waste.
The landowner shall record the actual waste application volume made on
each field on the Department of Water Quality Waste Application Record
Form.

NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
and MAINTENANCE
This is a 135 sow farrow to finish operation with a two 'stage lagoon
system. Waste is collected in under -floor pits an us'hed 1 the
primary lagoon. Lagoon liquid from the primary agoon flows throu-
a pipe to the secondary lagoon where it is recy led -u ks.
All surface water is diverted from both lagoons Both lagoon
embankments do not appear to be unsafe, and do no fe -
threatening hazard if an immediate collapse occurs. The total
holding capacity of both structures is estimated to be 465,000 cubic
feet. In addition to the permanent waste treatment volume, the
temporary storage volume is estimated to be one year. Permanent
markers will be installed on both lagoons to mark the maximum liquid
level. These markers will be installed on both lagoons 18 inches
below the lowest elevation in the top of each dam.
Effluent from both lagoons (including sludge from the primary
1(goon) is pumped to a traveling gun and irrigated onto fields 1 and
Effluent is also sold to other landowners in the community and
stom spread. This land is not under the control of Mr. Miller.
Waste sold in this manner will be applied consistent withe the
"Required Specifications" (see pages 12-13) of this plan. Records
will be kept of the name, address and phone number of the landowner;
the amount of waste applied; and the location of the land.
Application of this waste will be applied as directed in the
"Required Specifications" of this plan. In addition timing of
waste application will normally follow this schedules:
Fescue/Orchard Grass: September - November
March May
Note 1: Limit waste application on dormant crops as noted in
the Emergency Action Plan. Waste application on semidormant crops
such as fescue in early or late winter will be limited to reduced
nitrogen loading rates.
N

MAINTENANCE -
Waste Piping System - Seasonally inspect the piping system for
damage or leaks and make any needed repairs. Insure that
all pipes outlet into the lagoon effluent and not on lagoon
side slopes. Erosion caused from incoming waste water
produces sediment that reduces lagoon storage capacity.
Waste Treatment Lagoons - Maintain liquid levels in the lagoons
below the maximum liquid level markers at all times.
Remove accumulated sludge at least every 5 years.
Seasonally inspect diversions that prevent clean surface
water from entering the lagoon. Maintain stormwater
capacity and adequate grass vegetation. Seasonally inspect
embankments (dams) for any leaks, erosion or slumps. Keep
dams free of all trees. Maintain an adequate stand of
introduced and native grasses on the dams. Lime and
fertilize per soil test. Annually remove any tall
vegetation to allow for thorough inspections.
Irrigation System - Calibrate, operate and maintain the
irrigation system according to your NC Division of Water
Quality Waste Applicators Certification. During operation,
inspect for leaks and calibration errors. Inspect and
maintain an adequate stand of cool season grasses in
application fields. Apply all wastes according to this
waste 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.
Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day
by the Division of Water Quality for every day the discharge continues.
2. (The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the
number of animals, method of utilization, or available land).
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for
realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate
conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the
rate of application for other nutrients. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic
yield tables at the discretion of the planner.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year.
Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System
(RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If a RMS or ACS is used
the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter
strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in
addition to "Buffers" required by DWQ. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips
and Standard 392 - Riparian Forest Buffer. l
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing or any other condition exists
which may cause a danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When 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" in the Technical Reference - Environment file forguidance. )
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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when
the surface is frozen.
17

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the
crop is not damaged by burning or smothering of the plant. This is an important
consideration where swine, poultry or other ammonia rich waste is being surface
applied. Surface broadcast solids or slurries may damage crops if leaf surfaces are
matted. Generally waste should be applied such that no more than 20 to 25 percent
of the leaf area is covered. This should not normally be a concern where diluted,
low nutrient waste is irrigated or surface broadcast from a liquids holding structure.
Where crops are severely damaged due to waste application, the plants cannot
assimilate the nutrients and discharge of pollutants to surface waters is likely to
occur. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
10. Waste nutrients 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. On soils with a high potential for leaching, multiple application
at lower rates should be used. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop
production & reduce the potential for pollution, the waste shall not be applied more
than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil, or forages breaking
dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients.
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 from any perennial stream or river (other than an
irrigation ditch or 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 surface
water. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 392 - Riparian Forest
Buffer)
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 a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior
converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a
"technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways
which discharge directly into water courses. If animal waste is to be applied on
other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates and 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.
M

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed
areas (lagoon/holding pond embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed,
special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and 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/holding pond areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon/holding
pond 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 an "approved 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 preplant with no further applications
of animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible permanent 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 element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and
alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels.
Soil pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and
waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste
application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application
records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations. North
Carolina General Statute 106-403 requires that dead animals be disposed of within
24 hours in a manner approved by the state veterinarian.

accessible location for all employees at the facility. The following are some action
items you should take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be
possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B: Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
C. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoff.
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
C: Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -actions include:

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
This Animal Waste Management System consists of the following
major components:
1. SWINE HOUSES
2. CONTAMINATED LIQUID COLLECTION AND PIPING SYSTEM
3. LAGOONS
4. IRRIGATION SYSTEM
and the following associated components
5. VEGETATED DIVERSION
6. WASTE UTILIZATION
7. CRITICAL AREA PLANTING
All solid waste will be flushed from the under ground pits
located beneath the swine houses. It will then flow from the
swine houses through pipes to the primary (upper) lagoon.
Lagoon liquid from the primary lagoon flows through a pipe to the
secondary (lower) lagoon where it is recycled and used to
recharge the underfloor pits. The Contaminated Liquid Waste will
be pumped from the Lagoons through an irrigation system and be
land applied at agronomic rates.
This Animal Waste Management System is designed to prevent
discharge of Animal Waste Contaminates to surface waters from the
twenty-five (25) year, twenty-four (24) hour storm, as required
under the Non -discharge regulations.
All maintenance and operation costs are the responsibility of the
landowner and cannot be cost shared.

1. SWINE HOUSES
OVERVIEW
The swine houses are built with slatted floors to enable all
waste produced to drop through slats to underground pits located
beneath the swine houses. All underground pits are then flushed
with recycled wastewater. The Slurry which is flushed from the
underground pits then travels to the primary lagoon. The Swine
Houses consist of consists of concrete slab with slatted floors,
concrete block and panel walls, wooden columns and a metal roof
structure.
MAINTENANCE
The Swine House Structures will need to be inspected
periodically. Inspect all concrete, metal, and wooden components
to ensure that they are in good repair. Made needed repairs as
necessary.
2. CONTAMINATED LIQUID COLLECTION AND PIPING SYSTEM
OVERVIEW
The CONTAMINATED LIQUID COLLECTION AND PIPING SYSTEM consists of
PVC pipe which carries wastewater slurry from the underground
pits located beneath the Swine Houses to the primary lagoon.
Also, PVC pipe carries wastewater from the secondary lagoon to
the underfloor pits for recharge.
MAINTENANCE
Inspect all pipes associated with Swine Houses and Lagoons
periodically for cracks, ruptures and other deteriorations. Make
repairs or replace pipes as needed.
Inspect drainage pipes periodically for blockages and remove
blockages or replace pipe as needed. In periods of cold and
subfreezing temperatures, inspect the pipes for accumulation of
ice and remove as necessary.
Inspect and maintain the electric pump used to pump secondary
lagoon wastewater to recharge the underfloor pits.

are used for treatment and storage of the
wastewater which flows from the swine houses. PVC
to carry Contaminated Liquid Wastewater from the
to the Lagoons.
The service life of the Lagoons will be determined by the level
of management for the entire system.
The Accumulated Liquid Wastewater will be removed from the
LAGOONS by use of an Irrigation System. Refer to WASTE
UTILIZATION PLAN for maximum operating liquid levels of LAGOONS,
and the management requirements and application schedule of the
waste.
In order to increase the service life of the primary lagoon, the
solids that accumulate in the bottom of the lagoon should be
removed regularly. Use an agitator to put the solids into a
slurry and irrigate at agronomic rates.
MAINTENANCE
LAGOONS: Vegetation on the dams should be inspected periodically
and reseeded as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. The dams
should be mowed at least annually to prevent woody growth.
Mowing operations must take place only when the soil of the dam
is dry, and vegetation should not be mowed to a height of less
than four (4) inches at any time. See CRITICAL AREA PLANTING for
further maintenance requirements. Any evidence of sloughing or
seepage should be reported to the Burke Soil and Water
Conservation District office.
PIPES: Inspect all pipes which enter into the Lagoons
Periodically for cracks, breakage or deterioration. Repair or
replace pipes as needed.

4. IRRIGATION SYSTEM
OVERVIEW
The IRRIGATION SYSTEM consists of a IRRIGATION PUMP powered by a
100 Horse Power Tractor and a Traveling Irrigation Gun. An
underground pipe is used to transport the wastewater to the
fields. The Liquid Wastewater is then irrigated on the fields
using Agronomic rates as stated in the Waste Management Plan.
Irrigation operation should be initiated prior to the liquid
level reaching the full storage level marker in the structure.
When the liquids level in the LAGOONS reaches the marker, liquids
must be removed by pumping from the structure into the irrigation
system for land application. Do not irrigate in such a manner as
to cause runoff or erosion. Do not irrigate on frozen or
saturated soils. Irrigate only until soil is near saturation
point.
MAINTENANCE
Soil test the irrigation fields annually. Vegetation in the
irrigation fields should be inspected periodically and reseeded
as needed to insure a vigorous stand. Fields may also need to be
limed and fertilized annually. It is essential that neither
vehicles nor livestock be allowed to create travel lanes within
the irrigation fields. The irrigation fields should be mowed at
least annually to prevent woody growth. The irrigation fields
may be grazed or mowed for hay. Grazing and mowing operations
must take place only when the soils are dry, and vegetation
should not be grazed or mowed to a height of less than three (3)
inches. See CRITICAL AREA PLANTING for further maintenance
requirements.

5. VEGETATED DIVERSION
OVERVIEW
The VEGETATED DIVERSIONS are located above and around the LAGOONS
and are used to convey non -contaminated runoff around the
structures.
MAINTENANCE
The vegetation in the diversions should be inspected periodically
and reseeded as needed to insure a vigorous stand. It is
essential that neither vehicles nor livestock be allowed to
create travel lanes within the diversion. The diversion should
be mowed at least annually to prevent woody growth. Mowing
operations must take place only when the soils are dry, and
vegetation should not be mowed to a height of less than four (4)
inches. If sedimentation has reduced the capacity of the
channel, contact the Burke Soil and Water Conservation District
for technical assistance in correcting this problem. See
CRITICAL AREA PLANTING for further maintenance requirements.
6. WASTE UTILIZATION
OVERVIEW
Waste Utilization will be practiced on Grassland fields as
indicated in the "WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN".
MAINTENANCE
See "WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN"
7. CRITICAL AREA PLANTING
OVERVIEW
Critically eroding areas are vegetated as outlined in the
conservation plan. These practices will be installed according
to NRCS. standards 342.

GENERAL COMMENTS
PESTICIDE USE
Extreme care should be exercised with the use of all herbicides
so that desirable vegetation, especially that of the VEGETATED
DIVERSION and dam, is not adversely affected. It is a violation
of law to use any pesticide in a manner not permitted by its
labeling. To protect yourself, never apply any pesticide in a
manner or for a purpose other than as instructed on the label or
in labeling accompanying the pesticide product that you purchase.
Do not ignore the instructions for use of protective clothing and
devices and for storage and disposal of pesticide wastes,
including containers.
