In accordance with your Notification of Change of Ownership received June 15, 2010, we are hereby
forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to White Rock Farms LLC, authorizing the
operation of the subject animal waste management system in accordance with General Permit
AWG 100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CAWMP) for the White Rock Farms, located in Anson County, with a swine animal capacity of no
greater than the following annual averages:
Wean to Finish: Feeder to Finish: Boar/Stud:
Wean to Feeder: Farrow to Wean: 2200 Gilts:
Farrow to Finish: Farrow to Feeder: Other:
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may be one boar for each 15 sows. Where
boars are unnecessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be
replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows.
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2014, and shall hereby void
Certificate of Coverage Number AWSO40034 dated October 1, 2009. Pursuant to this COC, you are
authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please careful) read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Please Vgy careful attention to the
record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit. Record keeping forms are unchanged with this
General Permit. Please continue to use the same record keeping forms.

If your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) has been developed based on site -specific information, careful
evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current WUP is inaccurate
you will need to have a new WUP developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Per 15A NCAC 2T .0105(h) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100-foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the
General Permit, then an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual permit by contacting the Animal Feeding Operations Unit for information on this
process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.
In accordance with Condition I1.22 of the General Permit, waste application shall cease within four (4)
hours of the time that the National Weather Service issues a Hurricane Warning, Tropical Storm Warning,
or a Flood Watch associated with a tropical system for the county in which the facility is located. You
may find detailed watch/warning information for your county by calling the Raleigh, NC National
Weather Service office at [phone], or by visiting their website at: www.erh.noaa.gov/er/rah/

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage capacity available
at the end of each month of the plan. 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 ur 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 excecds 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.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for sludge
utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each sour:c,
the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application Cates shown in the second column.
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean our, 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 liixuting. 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, diluent spray fields should not be used for
sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load rffluent application fields with high amounts of
copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to strearns and lakes,
phosphorous is a concern. Soils uontaining very high phwsphorous levels nlay also be a concern.

applying waste nutrients through an inigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in runoff. This table provides the
maximum application rate per hour that may be applied to each field selected to receive wastewater. It also lists the maximum
application amount that each field may receive in any one application event,

Narrative
NARRATIVE NOTES FROM OLD PLAN
This plan has been written to match fields with hard hose traveler polls as shown on irrigation design
map and to change crop type for pulls Z, 3, 9A, 9B. This plan replaces the former plan and is not an
amended or revised plan. All acreages used are the effective wettable acres as certified by Gra-Mac
Irrigation for Tract 10486. Additional land has been put in plan. Tract 10010 (addidtional land) will be
applied via honey wagon. Onwer does not have honey wagon for application, but does have access to
rent one if needed for application to these fields, This plan may be updated at a later date when owner
can provide proper documentation for application volume or crop yields that are different from standard
database yields as shown in this plan.
N-EW NARRATNE
Plan has been updated based on in field measurements of pipe layout, field edge changes and one
additional hydrant. A completely new wettablee acreage calculation completed by Gra-Mac L-rigation
along with a CAD drawing of layout is made part of this plan.

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 (Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving
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 by 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.
239372 Database Version 2 0 Date Printed: 91161.OU Specification Page l

8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or
when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a mariner that
the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth.'rhe
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 corer 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. Anirrial waste, other than swine waste
from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 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, drainagew-ays, or
wetlands by a 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 systetn.

�9372 Database Version 2.0 Dote Prinred: 9/16 2003 Speciticuiou Page 2

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.
A']. 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 soils 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 five (5)
years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

RE: Pear Orchard Farms, LLC
Wastewater Irrigation System
Enclosed are the updated design and wettable acreage sheets for the wastewater irrigation
system at Pear Orchard Farms. Based on actual field measurements taken last week,
there is more acreage in one of the fields than originally measured. This could be due to
the land clearing that was in progress when the original system was designed. Also, the
layout of the pipeline and hydrants differ in the field as compared to the original design.
Therefore, the design has been updated correctly to show that one additional hydrant will
be added to she end of the line in that field. Actual measurements indicate that this
hydrant location can be used safely within field boundaries and buffer areas.
Some of the current traveler pulls will change in length due to the difference in the field.
Therefore, a completely new wettable acreage calculation has been determined. 'Phis
shows that there is roughly 78 total effective wettable acres. Please replace the old
design and wettable acres sheets with the current ones. A copy of each has been given to
Mitchell Broome at Pear Orchard Farms for his records. If you have any questions,
please give me a call.

Dear Mitchell Broome:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) received your sludge survey information on September
29, 2008, With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement
for the lagoon at the Pear Orchard Farms facility not to be required until 2009. Due to the
amounts of treatment volume available, the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed
until 2009. The results of the 2009 sludge survey are to be submitted by March 1, 2010.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please call me at (919)

Storage and Application System
Anson County
Dear Howard W. / C.Mitchell Broome, Jr. / Broome:
On June 11, 2004, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued a revised State General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill
733 (Session Law 2003-28).
In accordance with your application received on January 30, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Howard
W. / C.Mitchell Broome, Jr. / Broome, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection,
treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The
issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWSO40034 which expires
October 1, 2004.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Pear Orchard Farms, located in Anson County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 2200 Farrow to Wean swine and the application to land as specified in
the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary,
they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009. Pursuant to this COC,
you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Since this is a revised State
General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the
previous State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful_ attention to the. record_ keeping
and monitoring conditions in this permit.

If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation'. to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility.
Per 15A NCAC 2H .0225(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100 foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the
General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual permit by contacting the staff member listed below for information on this
process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.
This facility is located in a county covered by our Fayetteville Regional Office. The Regional Office
Water Quality Staff may be reached at [phone]. If you need additional information concerning
this COC or the General Permit, please contact Duane Leith at [phone].

Subject: Waste Management System AWSO40034

Dear Mr. Glenn;
I received your letter dated December 3, 1998, concerning specific questions you had about your permitted animal
waste management system. After review of the file, I have compiled the following answers:
Pear Orchard Farms submitted a revised Waste Management Plan on September 26, 1997 in response to a letter
from the Division of Water Quality (Division) regarding the new setbacks established in the Swine Farm Siting
Act ratified in August 1997. After receipt of this revised Waste Management Plan the Division issued a new
Certificate of Coverage for this facility which voided the previous Certificate. The revised Waste Management
Plan includes a solid set irrigation system. This is the system that is currently permitted by the Division for
installation on this facility. Any other irrigation design for this facility would have to be submitted to the
Division for approval prior to installation.
2. The current version of the Swine Farm Siting Act ratified August 1997 applies to new or expanding farms prior
to construction. According to information you provided to the Division in September 1997, this facility had not
begun construction by August 1997, therefore the most recent Swine Farm setbacks apply. The setback of 75
feet between land application sites and property boundaries that contain an occupied dwelling apply to any
property boundaries that contained an occupied residence at the time construction began at this facility.
3. The Irrigation Lane Layout 12-24 was not approved with your current permit. Your revised Waste
Management Plan submitted in September 1997 included a solid set irrigation system. Therefore the solid set
irrigation design is the only permitted system for this facility. Should you choose to utilize a different irrigation
method you should submit a design to the Division for approval.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me at 919-733-5083 extension 502.

Dear Ms. Homewood:
I believe you spoke with Audrey Oxidine of the Fayetteville. NC office on her last visit to Pear Orchard
Farms, regarding our waste management system.
There are a few questions we wish to address and receive confirmation from your office:
1. May Pear Orchard use a traveling gun spray system as originally submitted by Agri -Waste
Technology?
2. Confirm that the setback requirements of 50 feet/75 feet apply to adjacent properties only if they
contained an occupied dwelling at time of permitting.
3. Confirm that the enclosed Agri -Waste Technology Site Location, Figure 7, Irrigation Lane Layout
12-24. is approved. That layout was not included in our original approved copy.
Since we are ready to purchase irrigation equipment, we would greatly appreciate a response at your
earliest convenience. We are forwarding this letter and enclosure by fax and sending original by mail.
Sincerely.

Dear Jerry Glenn:
The subject facility was issued a Certificate of Coverage (COC) on 6/23/97 authorizing the
operation of the animal waste collection, treatment, storage, and land application system in accordance
with General Permit No. AWG 100000. On Aug. 27, 1997 Governor Hunt signed into law the Clean
Water Responsibility Act. The Clean Water Responsibility Act included several changes to the Swine
Farm Siting Act (Siting Act) including the requirement that all set back distances be met for any swine
lagoon or swine house for which construction commences on -or after the effective date 'of the Clean Water
Responsibility Act (Aug. 27, 1997). Before the Siting Act was amended, it required the set back distances
be met at the time the swine house or lagoon was ts'ted. The change in siting requirements may apply to
your farm since construction may not have commenced by the effective date of the Clean Water
Responsibility Act.
Your farm was permitted prior to the effective date of the Clean Water Responsibility: Act;
therefore, you meet one of the exceptions to the moratorium. However, the farm must be re-evaluated
and, if necessary, re -designed to meet the new requirements of the Siting Act to remain covered under the
General Permit. Within 15 days of the date of this letter, you are requested to submit, notification to the
Division of Water Quality whether the farm was under construction on or before Aug. 27, 1997.
If the farm was not under construction on or before Aug. 27, 1997, then a revised Certified Animal
Waste Management Plan must be submitted to reflect the new siting requirements. Construction not in
compliance with the Siting Act is a violation of State Statutes and the General Permit.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this matter, please contact me at (919)_ 733-

Management Plan for Pear Orchard Farms, LLC. The contents of this report are
intended to replace the irrigation and waste application section contained in the
current Waste Management Plan. The irrigation and waste application plan has
been modified to comply with the new setback requirements as are detailed in HB
515. In addition, the location of the facility has been evaluated with regard to the
facility location setbacks established in HB 515. The remaining portions of the
existing Waste Management Plan have not been changed and, therefore, are not
included in this report.

I. Introduction
This report contains a revised Land Application and Waste Utilization plan
for Pear orchard Farms, LLC (Certificate of Coverage # AWS-040034 ). This Land
Application Plan conforms to the setbacks as adopted in NC HB 515 as
retroactively adopted on March 1, 1997. The revised Land Application Plan is
intended to supersede the Plan contained in the April 30, 1997 Waste
Management Plan. Attachment 1 contains a copy of the Land Application Plan,
along with the technical specialist's (Dr. L. M. Safley, Jr.) certification of the plan.
Additionally, Attachment 2 contains a set of site maps of Pear Orchard
Farms, LLC showing the pertinent setback distances as defined in HB 515 and

1 12. Land Application/Waste Utilization Plan
I
Land application of the lagoon liquid is the final step in this operation's waste management
system. The goal of the Land Application/Waste Utilization Plan (LAWUP) is to apply
nutrients at rates that do not exceed agronomic rates. By obtaining this goal, the quantity of
nutrients that is applied is effectively utilized by the crops that are grown on the fields.
1
12.1 Application Method
' The land application area at the Pear Orchard Farms site is divided into fifteen application
zones. A solid set irrigation system removable sprinkler heads will be utilized to apply
' lagoon liquid.
t12.2 Nitrogen Production
The amount of nitrogen produced by the facilities is estimated by using NRCS Standard 633.
' This standard estimates that 5.4 pounds of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) per sow per year
is produced from a Farrow to Wean operation. Therefore, the facility will produce 11,880
' (2,200 sows x 5.4 lbs/sow) pounds of PAN on an annual basis. A copy of the applicable
pages from NRCS Standard 633 can be found in Attachment 3.
r

LI

I

I
The amount of nitrogen in the sludge is also estimated from NRCS Standard 633. NRCS
Standard 633 states that 0.88 pounds of Plant Available Nitrogen per sow per year will be
available in the sludge when it is removed from the lagoon. The quantity of PAN that will be
available from sludge after 5 years can be therefore be estimated to be 9,680 pounds.
However, when the sludge is removed, it will be analyzed and applied at the agronomic rate
of the crops that are grown on the sludge application fields.
12.3 Nitrogen Utilization
The planned cropping program for the facility is a fescue crop for hay. To determine the
amount of nutrients that can be applied to the crops, the typical crop yields were determined.
The NRCS expected yield of fescue grown for hay on Creedmore soil is 4 tons/acre.

The nitrogen removal estimate found in SCS 590-5 (North Carolina) for tall fescue is 40-50
lbs N/ton of hay. Information concerning the realistic expected yields and the nitrogen
application rate is included in Attachment 3.
If the acreage required for application is calculated using 50 lb Mon of hay nitrogen uptake,
the following acreages are required:
For land application of lagoon liquid, 59.4 acres are needed each year.
11, 880 lbs N X ton hay X acre = 59.4 acres
year 50 lbs N 4 Con hay
For land application of lagoon sludge, 48.4 acres are needed every 5 years.
9,680 lbs N ton hay
X
year X 50 lbs N
4 LU11 11dy
= 48.4 acres
12.4 Application of Lagoon Liquid
Prior to the application of lagoon liquid, the following items will be evaluated and recorded
on Form 8 "Pre -Application Checklist" (included in Attachment 7).
• Evaluation of field records to verify that the nitrogen goal for the given crop
has not been exceeded.
• Determination of amount of lagoon liquid to apply to the field.
• Evaluation of lagoon to determine if sufficient liquid volume exists (above
minimum pumpdown level, 8') to achieve desired application.
In addition, the following general guidelines have been developed for land application of
wastewater.
• No runoff from the application site
• The soil is dry enough to apply with no deep seepage or runoff
• Wastewater will be applied to land with a growing crop or on land where a
crop will be planted within 30 days.
• Wastewater be applied at a rate (inches/hour) that is less than the soil
infiltration rate.

The proposed irrigation system lagoon will be a solid set system with 439 quick detach
connections. The 439 sprinkler connections will be divided into 15 zones containing a
maximum of 37 sprinklers per zone, It is intended that only one irrigation zone will be
operated a time.
The solid set system will consist of a stationary irrigation pump located on the berm of the
lagoon, and sufficient Class 200 PVC line to reach all irrigation zones (lanes). Each of the
zones will require either Senninger Model 70 full circle sprinkler heads (Senninger RD7025-
2) or their functional equivalents (Rainbird Series 70 and Nelson Series 70 heads have very
similar performance characteristics). The pump will be capable of supplying 750 gallons per
minute to the sprinkler heads (20 gallons per head) at a delivery pressure of 50-60 psi. This
will require a minimum brake horsepower of the pump drive unit of 70 horsepower. The
maximum operating line pressure at the pump should be approximately 90 psi. Effluent will
be delivered to the irrigation zones via approximately 6,800 feet of buried 8" Class 160 PVC
irrigation main line with 2,800 feet of buried 6" Class 160 PVC lateral line, and 33,000 feet
of buried 4" Class 160 PVC lateral line. Each sprinkler connection will be of the quick
detachable type, mounted flush with the surface of the ground to permit the harvest of hay
from the application fields.
' Thrust blocks will be installed at each hydrant, tee, valve, or endcap. The thrust blocks shall
be designed as per ASAE S376.1, Section 7.4.
1
In order to avoid deep seepage or runoff from the application fields, the maximum application
at any one time should be 0.50 inches. Spreadsheet 2 displays the amount of lagoon liquid to
apply to each irrigation zone in the application area field for the given cropping scheme.
' These values are based on the intended crop, realistic expected yield for the given crop and
soil type of the field. Spreadsheets 3a through 3o show the design calculations for total
' dynamic head, line pressure and required horsepower for each irrigation zone.
I
12-3

' If a uniform application rate of 0.30" per application is utilized with an 60 psi discharge
(nozzle) pressure, each irrigation zone will need to be operated for approximately 1 hour.
' Therefore, approximately sixteen hours of total operation would be required to apply the
desired amount of Plant Available Nitrogen to each application zone. If the maximum
' application rate of 0.50" inches is used, approximately one hour and 45 minutes per
application zone will be required. At these rates approximately five zones per day could be
' effectively covered. With fifteen irrigation zones, the entire application area could be
uniformly irrigated once every 3 days. A site map indicating the proposed irrigation zones is
' shown in Figure 7. The USDA Sprinkler Irrigation Guide indicates that infiltration rates for
' Creedmore soil is 0.30 to 0.35 inches per hour. The USDA Sprinkler Irrigation Guide
suggests that the irrigation frequency for a Creedmore soil growing mixed hay and summer
' perennials during the peak use period should be approximately once every five days in
applications of not more than 1.60" of water.
' This corresponds very well to the capability of the proposed equipment. If 0.50" applications
' are utilized, approximately 30 days will be required to effectively apply the required amount
of anaerobic lagoon liquid at agronomic rates as determined by the realistic expected yield of
1 fescue hay on Creedmore soils.

12.5 Application of Sludge
When the level of sludge in the lagoon has accumulated to the extent that it begins to infringe
on the required treatment volume, the sludge will be removed. The sludge will be removed
by means of an floating dredge, pumped into a leak -proof tanker trucks and transported to the
off -site application area. Spreading agreements for the off -site sludge application areas
owned by Mr. Jerry Glenn and Mr. Mitchell Broome are included as Attachment 5.
It may be desirable to construct a temporary, flexible membrane lined settling basin to store n
the sludge material and to allow free liquid to drain back into the lagoon. In this case, the
floating dredge would pump the material to the temporary containment basin, liquid would be
allowed drain back into the lagoon, and the sludge would then be pumped from the
containment basin into leak -proof trucks for transport to the sludge application sites.
When the sludge is applied at the application site, the sludge will be broadcast applied from
the trucks. Surveyor's flags will be used to indicate the proper buffers from the sludge
application areas.
Sludge will be applied according to the following guidelines.
-Evaluation of field records to verify that the nitrogen goal for the given crop has not been
I
exceeded.
ri
i
1
-Determination of amount of sludge to apply to the field.
• No runoff from the application site
• The soil is dry enough to apply with no deep seepage or runoff
• Sludge will be applied to land with a growing crop or on land where a crop
will be planted within 30 days.
• All applicable buffers will be observed.

Spreadsheets 4 and 5 indicate the proposed application rate to the off -site sludge application
areas. A location map showing both off -site sludge application areas is shown as Figure 10.
Site maps of each of the sludge application areas (Figure 11 and Figure 12) are attached
which show the proposed application areas, along with the applicable buffers. Figures 13 and
14 are topographic maps of the proposed sludge application areas. Figures 15 and 16 are
soils maps of the sludge application areas.
