Dear Rodney Lamar Purser:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) received your sludge survey information on October 8,
2007. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement for
the lagoon at the White Rock 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)
715-6937.
Sincerely,
Miressa D. Garoma

RE: Temporary Alteration
Due to bermudagarss stand concerns on Field 1 lanes, I and 1B and Field 3 lanes
7 and 8 the fields were replanted. Field 1 lanes, IA and 1B were replanted to
Midland 99 hybrid bermudagrass. it will remain as a bermudagrass/winter annual
cropping field per the waste utilization plan. Field 3 lanes, 7 and 8 were replanted
to Eastern gammagrass. A full stand should be established over the next two
growing seasons. That change has been addressed as an amendment in the waste
utilization plan.

12.3 Nitrogen Utilization
The planned cropping system is a combination of bermudagrass, eastern
gammagrass and winter annuals over seeded into the bermudagrass sod. These
winter annuals would include small grains and ryegrass. Table 4 lists the soil
types, wettable acres, realistic expected yields, pounds of nitrogen utilized per acre
and total, total acre -inches utilized and application months per crop.
As can be seen in Table 4, the total N utilized is 14,618 pounds. When that
is compared to the estimated annual production of 11,880 pounds, a deficit of 2738
of N is shown. Due to that deficit, it is obvious that an over seeded winter annual
crop is not necessary to meet the nitrogen application requirements of the system.
How ever in order to allow for a longer potential pumping window, winter annuals
will be over seeded on part of the acreage each year. Also, the winter annuals will
allow for a longer grazing season when animals are grazed on the site.
As stated in the footnotes of Table 4, nitrogen application rates are based on
a grazed rate for the bermudagrass, eastern gammagrass and winter annuals. Due to
the fact that grazing animals may not be economically feasible each year, the
forage produced may be harvested as a hay crop. Whether the crops are hay or
grazed, the nitrogen application rate from animal waste will be based on the
.gratin rate. If any crop nutrient shortfall occurs, commercial fertilizer sources
will be used to meet the nutrient needs of the crop.

Anson County Agricultural Extension Agent
RE: Waste Utilization Plan Amendment
This is an amendment to the waste management plan written for White Rock
Farms by Agri -Waste Technology, Inc. and completed on June 29, 1998. These
pages replace pages 12-2, 12-3, 12-4, 12-5, 12-6, 12-7 in that plan. These
amendments address the waste utilization part of the plan. The certifications for
the Land Application Site are attached and apply to the amendment. Sludge
application or sludge application sites are not addressed in this amendment.

12.3 Nitrogen Utilization
The planned cropping system is a combination of bermudagrass and ryegrass
overseeded into the bermudagrass sod. Table 4 lists the soil types, wettable acres,
realistic expected yields, pounds of nitrogen utilized per acre and total, total acre -inches
utilized and application months per crop.
As can be seen In Table 4, the total N utilized Is 15, 585 pounds. When that is
compared to the estimated annual production of 11,880 pounds, a deficit of 3,705 pounds
of N Is shown. Due to that deficit, It is obvious that an overseeded ryegrass crop is not
necessary to meet the nitrogen application requirements of the system. However, In order
to allow for a longer potential pumping window, ryegrass will be overseeded on part or all
of the acreage each year. Also, the ryegrass will allow for a longer grazing season when
animals are grazed on the site.
As stated in the footnotes of Table 4, nitrogen application rates are based on a
grazed rate for both the bermudagrass and ryegrass. Due to the fact that grazing animals
may not be economically feasible each year, the forage produced may be harvested as a
hay crop. Whether the crops are hay or grazed, the nitrogen application rate from animal
waste will be based on the grazing rate. If any crop nutrient shortfall occurs, commercial
fertilizer sources will be used to meet the nutrient needs of the crop.
12.4 Application of Lagoon Liquid
The specifications for the irrigation system are listed in irrigation design information
Included in this plan and those provided by Gra-Mac Distributing Company which are
attached to this amendment.
Irrigationlapplicatlon rates should not exceed the intake rate for the soil at the time
of irrigation... or runoff and ponding can occur. The Irrigation/application rate is controlled
by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, irrigation 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 (PAN)
applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
The producer and irrigation designer Is responsible for ensuring that an irrigation
system is installed to properly irrigate animal waste on the acres shown in Table 4.
Failure to apply recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may
Invalidate this plan. Application of liquid waste by other methods (honey -wagon, etc.) is
the responsibility of the producer.
Table 5 specifies the soilrrrigation parameters as set by the soil reclassification on
the waste receiving sites. Exhibit D-1, as provided by Gra-Mac Distributing, shows the
operating constraints placed on the system. For each field listed, the operating constraints
are equal to or more restrictive than the soil parameters.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN,
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drill, manmade conveyances, direct appiicar
tion or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water
is prohibited.
Z. 'There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use
of adequate Iand to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose
of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within reasonable proximity,
allowing use of their land for waste application. The owner of the animal facility is responsible for securing an
updated Waste UtiIintion Plan when theca is a change in the operation.... such as increased animal numbers,
method of waste application, or change in available land for waste utilization.
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 of other nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land eroding less than S tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at S or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where
runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips].
3. Odors can be reduced by injecting waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied
when the wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated an 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 & Climate in north Carolina" in
NRCS Field Office Technical Reference File - ENViRONNMNT 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 ... to control odor and flies.
S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
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. 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. Waste shall not be applied to crops more than 30 days prior to
planting, or to forages more than 30 days prior to breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or atter October 1. 1995 shall comply with the following: waste -application
cannot occur within :0 feet from a residential properny 'ourtdarv: a perennial stream. river. canal or irrigation ditch.
For other animal operations or sivine facilities sited befer.- Cc -ober 1. 191,1: - waste application cannot cxzur within
feet of perennial waters [Ste FOTG Standard 39-3 - F.iter NOT:: i Sr4inancLs may

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
I3. 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
land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that
discharge directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided the application causes no run-
off 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 &=bed areas (lagoon embanlanents,
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 pian" 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 break-
downs, 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 human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no further
applications of animal waste during the crop season.
2I. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping
volume) of all animal waste lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain liquid levels between the markers. A
tu
marker will be required to mark the maximn 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 is applied. Nitrogen shall be the plant food element that determines application rates. Soil zinc and copper
levels shall be monitored and alternative crop sites used when these elements approach excessive levels. pH shall
be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste anaivsis records shall be maintained for
5 years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be kept for three (3) years. Waste application records for ail
other waste shall be kept for five (5) years.
^3. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets Nonh Carolina regulations.

your wastewater irrigation system. One copy of the information is for you and
the others are for the MRCS office.
The system consists of 6" SDR21 PR200 Gasketed PVC pipe and a Kifco/Ag-Rain T30A
Traveler with 1000' of 3" ID PE hose. The system is designed to use a Nelson SR150
Gun with a 1.08" Ring Nozzle at an application rate of .36 In/Hr. A Berkeley
B2--1/2JQBM SAE pump mounted to a John Deere 4045D Diesel Power Unit has been sized
for the system.
If you, the NRCS office, or your engineer have any questions, please give me a call.
I will be glad to try and answer them for you. I hope that Gra-Mac can help you with
this project.

Morven, NC 28119
Dear Canipes;
This letter is in response to your communications to the Anson County Health
Department over the past several months; the most recent of which was on
January 30. Your issues are in regards to the White Rock Farm owned by
Rodney Purser (Certificate of Coverage No. AWSO40035, June 2 and October 2,
1997). Whereas the health director and members of the Board of Health care
about the situation your family faces, there are limitations to the legal authority
which may be exercised.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is authorized to review and certify
applications for the operation of animal waste permits. Applications are to
include Certified Animal Waste Management Plans in accordance with State
laws. Operators are required to comply with any Certificate of Coverage as
authorized by DWQ. The Swine Farm Siting Act (Section 4.1 Article 67 of NC
GS Chapter 106) established permitting for animal waste management systems
and provided requirements for the siting of livestock operations. House Bill 515,
passed in June 1997, modifies and provides more stringent requirements as
follows (the sections quoted pertain most immediately to your situation):
(a) A swine house or a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall
be located:
(1) At least 1,500 feet from any occupied residence.
(2) At least 2,500 feet from any school; hospital; church; ....
(3) At least 500 feet from any property boundary.
(a1) The outer perimeter of the land onto which waste is applied from a
lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be a t least 75 feet from

Canipe Letter — 215198 — page 2
any boundary of property on which an occupied residence is located and
from any perennial stream or river, other than an irrigation ditch or canal.
According to the application submitted by Mr. Purser to the Division of Water
Quality, including the spray -field diagram referenced in your communications, the
proposed operation complies with all aspects of the Swine Farm Siting Act,
including the changes adopted in HB515. The houses and lagoon are located in
excess of 1500' from residences. The spray -fields are located in excess of 75'
from property boundaries. Although not required by this legislation, there are
riparian buffers in the form of grown pine trees between the spray -fields and the
property boundaries, thus providing additional protection to the neighboring
properties.
Although you have referenced a church located at the Casons Old Field Motor
Speedway, we do not believe this was referenced in the original application. If it
can be demonstrated that this church was in place at the time the permit
application was submitted, you may have grounds on which to protest the
approval of the application.
There remains the question as to whether the referenced operation is required to
comply with the Swine Farm Siting Act as amended by House Bill 515 or the less
stringent requirements of the Act prior to this amendment. Irregardless, as
discussed above, the operation appears to be in compliance with the more
stringent requirements imposed by HB515.
The Division of Water Quality and not the health department reviews and
authorizes Certificates of Coverage (COC). If there are issues with the provision
of the COC, these must be addressed to DWQ and not to the health department.
There are counties which have adopted Board of Health rules that may pose
more stringent requirements than those adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission or the Commission for Health Services as allowed by
NC General Statute § 130A-39. Such rules may be adopted if, "in the opinion of
the local board of health, a more stringent rule is required to protect the public
health." As you know, a rule such as this has not yet been adopted in Anson
County. If adopted, such a rule would most likely not pertain to the White Rock
Farm as the operation has been approved prior to the adoption of any potential
Board of Health rule.
The authority of the health director, as stated in NC General Statute § 130A-19,
is to "abate a public nuisance". At this time, it is the opinion of the local health
director that the operation of the White Rock Farm as approved for operation by
the Division of Water Quality does not pose a public health nuisance to any
degree greater than other intensive livestock operations already operating in the
county. In addition, until a Board of Health rule was placed into effect, the health
director is required to comply with the statutes developed by the State and

4 � .
Canipe Letter — 215198 — page 3
implemented by DWQ. Although, there are several compelling arguments for
health risks posed by intensive livestock operations, the ability of the local health
department to curtail the further development of these operations are limited.

The weather conditions (mean temperature, precipitation, and lake evaporation) that are
prevalent for the site are displayed in Table 2. The table displays both a monthly breakdown
and annual summary. The mean temperature was determined by averaging the daily
maximum and minimum temperatures. The precipitation and temperature data was collected
in Pageland, South Carolina. The evaporation data was calculated from Class A Pan data
collected in Union, South Carolina. The 25 -year, 24-hour storm for this region is
approximately 6 inches as given by US Department of Commerce, Technical Paper No. 40,

1 7. Waste System Design
1 The waste system that will be utilized at the operation can be divided into three main
' sections; a shallow underfloor pit, a single stage anaerobic lagoon system and the application
of lagoon liquid onto cropland using a solid set irrigation system. Figure 5 shows a
' schematic of the waste system for this operation.
Initially, the waste from the animals will fall through a slotted floor and into an underfloor
pit. The pit is filled with either freshwater or recycled lagoon water. Periodically a plug is
' pulled which allows the pit contents to flow into the lagoon. This type of waste
collection/temporary storage is termed a "pit recharge" system.
1
The waste from the production houses will flow, via gravity, into an anaerobic treatment
flagoon. The lagoon is an earthen basin which is lined to minimize seepage of lagoon liquid
into the surrounding areas. The lagoon liner is to be constructed from a synthetic flexible
membrane liner (FML).
The design of the anaerobic treatment lagoon can be divided into three main parts; the sludge
storage volume, the minimum treatment volume and the waste storage volume. When waste
is added to the lagoon, it is decomposed by bacteria. The decomposed material will settle to
the bottom of the lagoon and is classified as sludge. The layer of sludge that forms in the
lagoon bottom will reduce the seepage rate. The volume of sludge that the lagoon can
accommodate is the limiting factor in the life of the lagoon. When the sludge storage
capacity is reached, the lagoon will be closed or rejuvenated by removing a portion of the
sludge.

The minimum treatment volume of the lagoon is the amount of lagoon capacity required to
maintain the healthy bacterial populations needed to effectively decompose the added waste.
' The minimum treatment volume is also needed to prevent an excessive amount of odor from
being released from the lagoon. The liquid level in the lagoon will be maintained at a level
inecessary to ensure the minimum treatment volume is always present.

The final component of the lagoon is the waste storage volume. This allows for the
temporary storage of the lagoon liquid until it can be applied to cropland. The lagoon liquid
is a good source of nutrients for crops. The lagoon liquid will be applied throughout the
growing season and during emergencies. The rate at which the liquid is applied is based
upon agronomic rates of uptake for the differing crops that are grown.

Agri -Waste Technology, Inc. (AWT) has evaluated the lagoon design in accordance with the
current NRCS lagoon design guidelines (NRCS Standard 359). The following discussion
outlines the AWT evaluation.
The current North Carolina NRCS guidelines (NRCS Code 359) for the design of an
anaerobic lagoon contain sizing parameters for sludge storage and for the minimum treatment
volume of the lagoon. For a Farrow to Wean sow (433 lb/animal unit), the recommended
volume for five years of sludge storage is 0.17 ft3/lb Live Animal Weight (LAW) (74
ft /animal unit) and the e
3 recommended minimum treatment volume is 0.67 ft'/Ib LAW 290
ft'/animal unit). This corresponds to a total of 0.84 ft3Ph LAW for sludge storage volume
and minimum treatment volume. Therefore, the total sludge storage and minimum treatment
volume for a 2,200 sow farrow to wean operation would be 800,184 ft'.
0. 84 ft3 x 433 lb LAW x 2, 200 sows = 800, 184 ft3
.Ib LAW sow
The current NRCS guidelines (Code 359) recommend that at a minimum there should be 180
' days (six months) of temporary storage in a lagoon. The guidelines define temporary storage
as:
• Manure
• 25 -year, 24-hour storm
• Excess wash water
• "Heavy Rain " factor (equal to 25 -year, 24-hour storm at a minimum)
• Rainfall .in excess of evaporation
• Outside runoff
There should also be at least one foot (1') of freeboard in excess of temporary storage. The
amount of lagoon volume required to accommodate the rainfall in excess of evaporation, the
r25 -year, 24-hour storm and the heavy rainfall factor (at a minimum equal to a 25 -year, 24
hour storm) is dependent upon the top inside berm (TIB) dimensions of the lagoon. The
�1 design TIB dimensions of the White Roack Farms lagoon are 400' x 400'. This corresponds
8-3

1
to a surface area of 160,000 ft2. The precipitation in excess of evaporation for this area is 7.7
inches (annual precipitation - 48.52", NCDC Summary for Pageland, SC, 1968-1992; annual
free water surface evaporation - 40.83"; NCDC Summary for Union, SC, 1951-1964,
corrected for lake evaporation; approximate annual free water surface evaporation 40"
AWMFH-1) and the 25 -year, 24-hour storm for this area is 6 inches (US Dept. of Commerce,
Technical Paper No. 40). In addition to the 25 -year, 24-hour storm, a second 25 -year, 24-
hour storm is included as a "heavy,rainfall factor". Therefore, there needs to be adequate
q
volume for 19.7 (7.7 + 6 + 6) inches of rainfall in the lagoon. This equates, to 262,667 W.
19.7 inches x 12 noshes x 160,000 ft:2 = 262,667 ft=3
Table 2 of Code 359 lists a manure and excess wash water rate of 7.2 gallons/day for a
farrow to wean sow. At this rate, 381,176 ft' would be required for six months of temporary
storage.
2,200 sows x 7.2 gaffs x 180 days x 1 ft3= 381, x.76 ft'
sow -day 7.48 gals
Therefore, the total capacity required for temporary storage of. 180 days is 643,843 ft'
(262,667 ft' + 381,176 ft3). This volume, added to the sludge storage and minimum treatment
Ivolume, gives the lagoon a total volume of 1,444,027 ft3 required by NRCS guidelines.
The White Rock Farms lagoon has a volume of 1,492,032 ft' with 1 foot of freeboard under
the crest of the spillway. This design volume of the lagoon exceeds the required lagoon
volume (1,444,027 ft') as based on NRCS Standard 359 and therefore the lagoon design
meets the current NRCS standards.

IEvaluation of Sludge Accumulation
To ensure that the accumulated sludge does not encroach the minimum treatment volume, the
' frequency of the sludge level will be evaluated every three years. Based on the sludge level
1 elevations, if it is believed that the accumulated sludge will reach the designated sludge
storage volume prior to the next three year evaluation, there will be an evaluation conducted
yearly until a portion of the sludge is removed.
IThe following plan will be used to evaluate the sludge depth:
• Approximately three years after the lagoon is placed into operation it will be evaluated for
sludge accumulation.
• The length, width, and depth of the lagoon will be measured once construction has been
completed.
1 • A sample grid of sixteen (16) points will be established over the surface of the lagoon.
• The liquid Ievel will be determined relative to the top of the lagoon berm.
• The distance from the liquid surface to the sludge surface and from the sludge surface to
q g g
the lagoon floor will be determined using a Markland Model la Sludge gun (or similar
device).
1 • .Based on the collected measurements and the as -constructed lagoon dimensions, the volume
of the accumulated sludge will be estimated.
• The sludge evaluation procedure will be repeated at three year intervals.
• When the accumulated sludge has filled the sludge storage volume of the lagoon. the
' sludge will be analyzed and a portion of the sludge will be removed from the lagoon. The
sludge that is removed will be appropriately managed (land applied at agronomic rates,
processed, etc.).

1 Lagoon Volume
1 A permanent gauge pole will be located in the lagoon to provide a means of accurately
determining the lagoon volume. Knowing the liquid depth, the amount of liquid in the lagoon
and the amount of storage volume remaining in the lagoon can be determined using the
following Remaining Volume Spreadsheet (Spreadsheet 1, based on As -Constructed
dimensions). The lagoon will be dewatered as needed by applying lagoon liquid to the
' cropland. As long as crop, weather, and field conditions are conducive to application,
application can occur anytime the lagoon liquid level is greater than 7.5 ft. This liquid depth
icorresponds to the lagoon volume required to maintain the sludge storage volume and the
minimum treatment volume. The lagoon liquid level should also be reduced to this level
' following each cropping season in order to allow for adequate waste storage throughout the
winter. To prevent overtopping, dewatering will be initiated when the liquid level in the
lagoon corresponds to 3.25' below the top of the lagoon berm (11.0 ft). This level (11.0 ft.)
will allow the 25 yr - 24 hour storm to be contained in the lagoon while still maintaining one
(P) foot of freeboard.

1 Section .0219 Minimum Design Requirements of the State of North Carolina Department of
' Environment Health and Natural Resources outlines the minimum liner requirements for a
lagoon liner. The regulations require a liner "at least one foot in thickness and having a
' hydraulic conductivity of no greater than 1 x 10'6 cm/sec when compacted".
' A preliminary soils investigation by Toney C. Jacobs & Associates, Inc. found no soils
suitable for constructing a compacted clay liner. A copy of this soils investigation
' information is included in Attachment 2. The White Rock Farms lagoon will be lined using a
flexible membrane liner in the lagoon.

11. Lagoon Closure Pian
When the sludge level in the lagoon has significantly reduced the storage volume, the lagoon
will need to be closed or rejuvenated (by physically removing a portion of the sludge). The
actual plan (closure or rejuvenation) will be dependent upon the situations that exist at the
' facility when the sludge storage volume is reached for a given lagoon. Economic aspects will
also be considered. If the lagoon is closed, the lagoon closure must be in accordance with
' NRCS Interim Standard for "Closure of Abandoned Waste Treatment Lagoons and Waste
Storage Ponds", Code No. 998. A copy of this interim standard has been included as

12. Land Application/ Waste Utilization Plan
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.
12.1 Application Method
The land application area at the Pear Orchard Farms site is divided into eighteen application
fields. A hose -reel irrigation system with travelling guns will be utilized to apply lagoon
liquid.
' 12.2 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.
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 fescue 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 the soil types present at the Roddy Purser

As can be seen in Table 4., the Realistic expected yields of Fescue hay for the various
soil types range from 3.5 tons per acre to 4.5 tons per acre, with the predominance of the soil
types yielding 3.8 tons per 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 lbs N per ton of hay nitrogen
uptake, the following acreages are required:

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
Iwastewater.
• 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.
I
The proposed irrigation system lagoon will consist of a stationary irrigation pump located on
' the berm of the lagoon, sufficient 6" Class 200 PVC mainline to reach all irrigation lanes.
The pump will be capable of supplying 350 gallons per minute to the hose reel equipment at
a delivery pressure of 150 psi. Effluent will be delivered to the irrigation lanes via
1 12-3

i
rapproximately 4,200 feet of buried 6" Class 200 PVC irrigation line with 4" hydrants. The
hose reel equipment will be an Amadas Model P1030 with a Nelson P150 SR gun or their
functional equivalents.
iThrust 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.
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 lane 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 3p show the design calculations for total
dynamic head, line pressure and required horsepower for each irrigation lane.

If a uniform application rate of 0.30" per application is utilized with an 80 psi traveling gun
discharge (nozzle) pressure, between 11 and 15 cycles (passes) per irrigation lane will be
required to apply the desired amount of Plant Available Nitrogen to the fields. The number
of passes is determined by the soil type. If the maximum application rate of 0.50" inches is
used, 7 to 9 cycles per irrigation lane will be required, depending on soil type. Table 5
summarizes the number of cycles required per irrigation lane to achieve the desired PAN
application.

tNote that the number of irrigation cycles indicated in Table 5 may not completely apply the
total desired application of Plant Available Nitrogen to the indicated irrigation lane. A final
pass at a reduced application rate may be desirable to "finish out" the desired application of
nutrients.
The specified equipment should complete a cycle in the longest irrigation lane in
approximately 113 minutes with a 0.30 application rate. With a 0.50 application rate, a
cycle will require 193 minutes. At these rates approximately three lanes per day could be
effectively covered. With sixteen irrigation lanes, the entire application area could be
uniformly irrigated once every 6 days. A site map indicating the proposed irrigation lanes is
shown in Figure 7. The primary liquid application areas to be utilized will be fields 4 and 5.

The USDA Sprinkler Irrigation Guide indicates that infiltration rates for the soil types range
from 0.30 to 0.35 inches per hour for Chewacla and Badin soils and to 0.30" to 0.40" for the
Nason soils. The USDA Sprinkler Irrigation Guide suggests that the irrigation frequency for
Nason and Chewacla soils 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. The Badin soils have a recommended irrigation frequency of once every three days
Iwith a maximum application of 0.95" of water.
This corresponds very well to the capability of the proposed equipment. If 0.50" applications
are utilized, approximately 54 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
fescue hay on the 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
application area. It may be desirable to construct a temporary, flexible membrane lined
settling basin to store 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
exceeded.
-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 primary and secondary
sludge application areas. It is intended that the majority of the sludge will be applied to
Fields 1, 2, and 3, with any remaining sludge applied to those areas of Fields 4 and 5 which
cannot be effectively irrigated by the liquid application system. A site map showing the
sludge application areas, along with the applicable buffers, is shown as Figure 8. along with
the applicable buffers.
12.5 Summary of Waste. Production and Application
Based on the steady state live animal population of the site, approximately 11,880 lbs of Plant
Available Nitrogen (PAN) are produced in the lagoon liquid each year. The lagoon liquid
application system will cover 75.8 acres with a potential maximum yearly PAN uptake of
13,612 pounds.
Additionally, 9,860 lbs of PAN will be produced in the lagoon sludge every five years. The
primary sludge application areas (Fields 1, 2 & 3) encompass 52.6 acres of available
application area with a maximum PAN uptake of 9,797 pounds. If conditions in the primary
application areas dictate that a lesser amount of sludge should be applied, the secondary
sludge application areas may also be utilized to receive some of the sludge. The secondary
sludge application areas are the areas in Fields 4 & 5, encompassing approximately 15.7
acres, which cannot be effectively covered by a traveling gun irrigation system. The
maximum PAN uptake in the secondary sludge application areas is 3,009 pounds.

2.30 Coliform -group bacteria: A group of bacteria predominantly inhabiting the intestines of man or animal,
but also found in soil. It includes all aerobic and facultative anaerobic, gram-negative, nonspore-forming bacilli
that ferment lactose with production of gas. This group of "total" coliforms includes Escherichia coli which is
considered the typical coliform of fecal origin.
2.31 Colloidal matter: Finely divided solids which will not settle but may be removed by coagulation or
biochemical action or membrane filtration.
2.32 Composting: Biological degradation of organic matter under aerobic conditions to a relatively stable

' 2.73 Loading rate: The quantity of material added per unit volume or unit area per unit time.
2.74 Manure: The fecal and urinary excretion of livestock and poultry. Sometimes referred to as livestock
waste. This material may also contain bedding, spilled feed, water or soil. It may also include wastes not
associated with livestock excreta, such as milking center wastewater, contaminated milk, hair, feathers, or other
debris. Manure may be described in different categories as related to solids and moisture content. These
' categories are related to handling equipment and storage types. Fig. I gives relationships between percent solids
and categories of manure for major livestock species and poultry. The shaded lines are broad because the
transition from one category to another, e.g., SLURRY to SEMI-SOLID, is not sharply defined. The transition
' does not depend on percent solids alone but is affected by type livestock manure and their feed ration, type and
amount of bedding, feed spillage, and other residues in the manure.
2.74.1 Liquid manure (thin slurry): Manure which has had sufficient water added so that it can
be pumped easily. Normaily fibrous material such as chopped straw or waste hay is not present.

2.74.2 Slurry manure: Manure in which the percent total
solids approximates that of excreted manure. The total solids
content could vary by a few percent depending on whether
water is added or a slight drying occurs. Slurry manure can be
handled with conventionalm, centrifugal manure pumps and
equipment.
2.74.3 Semi-solid manure: Manure which has had some
bedding added or has received sufficient air drying to raise the
solids content such that it will stack but has a lower profile
than solid manure and seepage may collect around the outside.
It may -be pumped with positive displacement pumps or be
handled with a front-end loader.

1 14. Required Specifications for the Land Application/Waste Utilization Plan
The following specifications were developed by the NRCS. A copy of the specifications is
Lrequired to be included in the WMP. (Please see note concerning Point #9)
1 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 Environmental
IManagement for every day the discharge continues.
2. The field officer must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the
' producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS
with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity,
allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the
production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of
' the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in 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 date, climate conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the late of application for other
nutrients.

4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or
an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no
greater that 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 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.]
S. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
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 the
season prone to flooding.
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.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more
than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered with solids.
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 should be planted to take up released nutrients.

15. Sampling Procedures and Preservation
15.1 Introduction
The purpose of collecting and analyzing samples is to get an accurate representation of
conditions existing at the time of testing. In order to ensure that samples collected reflect
true conditions, certain steps and procedures should be followed. The recommended
procedures outlined below represent the steps necessary to collect, package and transport
samples to a predetermined laboratory for analysis. Form 1 of Attachment 4 should be used
to record the collected samples
15.2 Soil Testing
The soil that lagoon liquid or manure is applied on should be tested routinely to evaluate
nutrient conditions. If the level of certain nutrients gets too -high then some of the nutrients
could leach to the water table and thus contaminate the groundwater supply. Proper testing
and management can ensure that the quantity of nutrients applied to the soils will not lead to
undesired nutrient levels in the soil. A typical soil sample should consist of approximately
one pound of soil material.
15.2.1 Background Soil Testing
Prior to the initiation of lagoon liquid or manure application onto a field, background soil
conditions should be established. It may be desirable to repeat this procedure every 3 to 5
years to re-evaluate field conditions. The information needed to preserve the soil samples
until they arrive at the laboratory is found in Table 15.7.1, Sample Preservation. The
following soil sampling procedure is suggested.
2.1.1 Identify and label the fields to sample on a site map. The map should be to scale.
2.1.2 Samples should be taken from the following horizons assuming crop root restrictive
layers (rocks, hard pans, etc.) are not encountered. The horizons are 0" to 12", 12" to 24",
24" to 36", and 36" to 48".
15-1

1
2.1.3 Locate sample points on the field map. One sample point should be identified for
each ten (10) acres. For fields of less than 10 acres, there should be a minimum of 2 sample
points per field. The sample points should be uniformly distributed over the field.
2.1.4 Use a coring tool or backhoe and spade to collect samples. If a backhoe is used to
excavate a sample pit, samples should be "shaved" from the sides of the trench at the desired
horizons. If a coring tool is used the 0"-12" sample should first be collected (insert tool and
remove sample) followed by collecting samples for the remaining horizons (12" increments).
2.1.5 Soil from a given horizon should be composited to produce a single sample to ship to
the lab. The composite sample should be representative of no more than 80 acres. For
example, a 160 -acre field should have two (2) composite samples, with each composite
' sample consisting of soil from at least 8 individual soil samples. For field sizes between 80
acres and 160 acres, divide the field into two approximately equal units and prepare two
1 composite soil samples for the field.
2.1.6 The sample locations should be marked on the field map and should correspond to the
1 planned application areas. The following information should be noted on the site- map:
Sample date
- Name of sampler
- Field name
1 - Sample location
- Sample identification number or name
The map should be retained for your records.
2.1.7 Samples should be placed in plastic bags. An indelible marker should be used to
record the following on the sample bag:-
- Sample date
- Sample identification number or name
15-2

' 2.1.$ The sample should be shipped to a laboratory as soon as practical. At a minimum, the
following parameters should be evaluated:
- Nitrate -N
- pH
- Phosphorus (P)
- Potassium (K)
- Magnesium (Mg)
- Calcium (Ca)
After the soil has been tested for these parameters, the results should retained for your
records.
t15.2.2 Routine Soil Sampling
'i The following procedure should be followed when collecting routine soil samples.
' 2.2.1 Routine soil samples should be taken in the spring prior to effluent or fertilizer
applications. Samples should also be collected in the fall after crop harvest.
' 2.2.2 Samples should be taken from the top 12" of soil.
' 2.2.3 A soil coring tool or shovel should be used to collect the samples. Samples should be
representative of, the top 12 horizon.
2.2.4 One composite sample should be collected for each 40 acres of field size. There
' should be 10-15 sample points for each 40 -acre segment. The subsamples taken at the
different points should be in either an "X" or "Z" pattern across the field. The samples taken
' in the 40 -acre segment should be composite into a single sample.

2.2.5 The sampling pattern should be identified on a field map. The approximate sampling
points should be identified on the map. The following information should be marked on the
field map:
- Sample date
- Name of sampler
- Field name
- Sample location
- Sample identification number or name
The map should be retained for your records.
2.2.6 Samples should be placed in plastic bags. An indelible marker should be used to
record the following on the sample bag:
- sample date
- sample identification number or name
2.2.7 The sample should be shipped to a laboratory as soon as practical. The following
parameters should be evaluated:
- Nitrate -N
- pH
- Phosphorus (P)
- Potassium (K)
- Magnesium (Mg)
- Calcium (Ca)
15.3 Lagoon Liquid Sampling
Lagoon liquid testing is an important step in tracking nutrients in waste material. Knowledge
of the amount of nutrients that the lagoon liquid contains helps in determining application

3.1 The recommended sample size is one quart.
3.2 Three or four samples should be taken from a lagoon during the application season.
3.3 Samples should be taken 16"-20" beneath the lagoon surface on the side of the lagoon
opposite the inflow pipes. It is best if subsamples (approximately I pint) can be collected
from 3-4 locations around the lagoon and then composited to produce one composite sample.
3.4 Lagoon Liquid samples should be placed in clean, 1 liter (=1 quart) polyethylene or
polypropylene sample containers. Wide mouth containers are easier to fill. Leave
approximately 1" of air space in the container unless the sample will be used to test for
ammonia -Nitrogen. If the sample will be analyzed for ammonia -Nitrogen, then the sample
container should be completely filled. Securely tighten container top.
3.5 As soon as possible (and never more than one hour) after collection the samples
should be refrigerated. If possible samples should be transported to the laboratory the same
day they are collected. If this is not possible, the samples should be frozen and shipped to
the laboratory to arrive in a frozen condition. In some cases it may be necessary to stabilize
a sample by adding acid.
A log should be maintained to identify the following information:
- Sample date
- Name of sampler
- Sample location
- Sample identification number or .name

3.6 Sample containers should be marked using an indelible marker to indicate sample
date and sample ID.
3.7 Samples should be analyzed for the following parameters: Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen
(TKN), ammonia -N, total solids, phosphorus and potassium.
15.4 Water Sampling
Before any lagoon liquid or manure is applied at the facility, samples should be taken from
all wells. This will help define background conditions for the particular well and will be used
to help determine if there are increasing trends in nutrient concentrations after application
events have occurred. Routine samples should be taken after the first sampling event has
defined background conditions. A one (1) quart sample should be collected.
4.1 It is good practice to test all wells used for livestock consumption and crop irrigation.
Monitoring wells may also be present at the site and should also be sampled. The following
procedure and the information found in Table 15.7.1 should be followed:
4.2 Each water sample can be tested for several different parameters. However, testing for
some parameters disqualify given samples from being evaluated for other parameters because
of sample preservatives and procedures required. Therefore, in order to test for certain
parameters, there may need to be several samples taken from the same source. Refer to Table
15.7.1 for preservative instructions.
4.3 Samples should be taken quarterly. However, it may only be appropriate to sample
irrigation wells twice each year.
4.4 Samples should only be taken when representative flow conditions exist. For livestock
water systems, water should be allowed to flow from a spigot for 3-5 minutes before
sampling. For irrigation wells, samples should only be taken while pumping is occurring.
15-6

For monitoring wells; at least three well volumes should be removed and then a sample taken
from the water that then fills the well. A well volume is the volume contained in the column
' of water in -the well before pumping begins.
' 4.5 The type of container in which water samples are collected is dependent on the
parameter being tested. If a sample is being analyzed for Fecal Coliform or Total Coliform
then a 125 mL sterile plastic container should be used. See Table 15.7.1 for the sample
container type. If the parameter is not listed in Table 15.7.1, a one quart sample should be
' collected. This container should have a wide mouth to facilitate sample collection.
' 4.6 A log should be prepared that identifies the following information:
Sample date
- Sample location
Name of sampler
' - Sample identification number or name
4.7 All sample containers should be marked using an indelible sample marker with the
' following information:
- Sample date
' - Sample identification number or name
' 4.8 Samples should be delivered to the laboratory as soon as possible after collection.
For samples that will be tested for Fecal Coliform or Total Coliform the sample must reach
the testing laboratory within 6 hours if possible. However since this is probably not feasible
in many cases, the sample can still be used if it arrives to the lab within 24 hours.
4.9 Typically samples should be analyzed for the following parameters: nitrate -N,
' Chloride (Cl), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), pH.
' 4.10 It may be desirable to test for coliform bacteria for samples taken from livestock

consumption wells. For these samples special sterilized containers must be used the samples
will need to be delivered to the lab in less than 6 hours after collection if the sample results
are to be used for regulatory purposes. If the sample is not used for regulatory purposes then
the sample should be delivered within 24 hours of collection.
15-5 Crop_ Sampling
Crop sampling helps to define the uptake of nutrients from the soil. Sampling results can
then be used to help determine rates of lagoon liquid application. The following procedures
and the information found in Table 15.7.1 should be used for collecting crop samples:
5.1 The two basic types of crop to sample are forage and grain. A one pound package of
forage or a half pound sample of grain can be tested for the following parameters:
Forage (1 pound):
Moisture, Crude Protein, Acid Detergent Fiber, TDN, Net Energy, Ca, P, K, Mg, S, Na, Fe,
Mn, Cu, Zn, Nitrate -N
Grain (0.5 pound):
Moisture, Crude Protein, Acid Detergent Fiber, TDN, Net Energy, Ca, P, K, Mg, S, Na, Fe,
Mn, Cu, Zn
5.2 Representative crop samples should be collected for each harvest for each field.
Typically one sample is collected per field.
5.3 For hay crops, one sample should be taken when the hay is baled. A coring tool
' should be used to obtain a representative sample. Samples should be taken at an angle into
the bale to make sure the sample contains both leaves and stalks. Subsamples should be
' taken from a number of bales and composited to form one sample. Each composite sample
1

1
1 should weigh approximately 1 pound.
' 5.4 For grain crops, several subsamples should be taken during the harvesting of the field
and composited to form one sample to be submitted to the laboratory. Each sample should
' weigh approximately 0.5 pound.
' 5.5 For green forage samples collected from fields being grazed, subsamples should be
taken from 7-8 locations across the field. Approximately 2-3 pounds of material should be
' collected.
5.6 A log should be maintained for all crop samples that contains the following
information:
- Field identification
- Crop type
' - Sample date
' - Sampler name
Sample identification number or name
5.7 All crop sample containers should be marked using an indelible marker with the
P g
following information:
- Sample date
' - Sample identification number or name
L5.8 Grain and hay samples typically can be shipped at the samplers convenience.
However, fresh grass samples will begin to heat and deteriorate after collection. Because of
this, fresh grass samples should be frozen until shipment unless the samples can be delivered
to the laboratory within a few hours after collection.

1.5.5 Discbarge Sampling
In the event that an accidental lagoon liquid discharge occurs there are certain procedures that
should be followed including the collection of representative samples of the lagoon liquid.
The information in Table 15.7.2, Sample Preservation (Section 15.7), should be reviewed in
the case of an effluent discharge.
6.1 It is the responsibility of White Rock Farms to find a laboratory that will analyze the
' samples in accordance with EPA methods described in 40 CFR 136.
' 6.2 The maximum holding times for some samples is very short. Therefore, a laboratory
should be identified well in advance of collecting a sample. Samples may have to be
analyzed during the night. Therefore, a contact person at the laboratory who can be called
day or night should also be identified. When the laboratory(ies) has (have) been identified,
' the information should be recorded in Table 15.6.2.1.

6.3 Polyethylene, polypropylene or glass wide-mouth bottles with screw -caps should be
used. Containers should never be reused without proper sterilization. Polyethylene containers
are generally used in wastewater collections. Samples which will be analyzed for pesticides
must be collected in glass containers..
6.4 In the case of a discharge from the facility, a minimum of one grab sample should be
' collected of the initial discharge from the retention structure. This sample should be taken
within 30 minutes of the discharge. if dangerous conditions exist at the time of the discharge
' which prohibit the safe collection of samples, then the prohibitive conditions should be
documented in the Waste Management Plan for that facility. After the dangerous conditions
' have passed, a sample should be collected from the retention facility.
I6.5 When collecting samples, consideration must be given to the locations where the
1
1
samples are collected. When appropriate, several samples from the same source should be
collected and mixed to obtain a composite sample that is indicative of the actual source. Care
must be exercised so as not to contaminate the samples. The sampler should avoid collecting
large nonhomogeneous particles and objects. When collecting a sample that will be analyzed
for ammonia, fill the sample container completely to prevent nitrification. Table 15.7.2
indicates the proper sample container type, size and preservatives.
6.6 The site should have at least one emergency kit in order to ensure that there will be
proper testing equipment and sample containers available at the site should a spill occur.
Each time a sample container is used from the kit, a replacement container should be placed
in the kit so that the kit will be complete. The emergency sample kit should include the
following equipment and containers:
1. 6 polyethylene or polypropylene containers with screw-top lids. (1 liter)
2. 4 sterile plastic containers with screw top lids. (125 mL)
3. 2 soil test bags which hold approximately 400 grams of soil.
4. 2 ampules of H2SO4 (Sulfuric Acid) preservative
5. 2 ampules of HNO3 (Nitric Acid) preservative
6. 1 Electronic pH Meter
15-11

The chemical preservatives should only be used when testing for certain parameters. Sulfuric
acid should be added to a sample if the sample will be tested for the following parameters:
ITKN (Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen), NH3-N (Ammonia Nitrogen), NO3-N (Nitrate Nitrogen) or
COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand). The Nitric acid should be added to a sample when testing
' for P (Phosphorus) or K (Potassium). The two preservatives listed should not be added to
any sample that will be tested for other parameters unless otherwise indicated. A sample may
be cooled unless otherwise stated.

15.7 Sample__ Preservation and -Storage
Samples should be preserved under certain conditions dependent on which parameters will be
tested. Other than soil and grain samples, all samples should be cooled as soon as possible.
This slows evaporation of volatile liquids and helps preserve populations of microorganisms.
tSome samples should also be mixed with a chemical preservative. The parameters, the type
of sample container, preservatives (if necessary), and the maximum amount of time to get the
sample to the testing lab are listed in the following table:

1 15.8 Shipment of Samples
Samples should be sent to the testing laboratory as quickly as possible. This will help to
ensure that the samples will not degrade. When packing and shipping samples the following
guidelines should be followed.
1 8.1 If the sample will be received by the laboratory within 24 hours after collection,
cooling the sample is appropriate. Cool samples to 39 degrees Fahrenheit and keep the
' temperature constant until analysis. Insulated containers are preferable to assure proper
maintenance of storage temperature. If the time between sampling and reception by the
laboratory exceeds 24 hours , freeze the sample. Sample bottle tops should not be immersed
in water during shipment or storage.
r
8.2 Holding times, interval between collection and analysis, should be as short as possible
to minimize change in the sample. Holding times listed in Tables 15.7.1 and 15.7.2 are
maximum times.
8.3 Samples should be packed properly to prevent breakage. The shipping container
should be sealed or locked so that any evidence of tampering would be readily detected. Use
of tamper -proof evidence tape is recommended.
8.4 The responsibility for proper packaging, labeling, and the transferring of possession of
the sample lies with the person taking the sample.

8.5.1 All sample shipments must be accompanied by a completed, signed and dated
Chain -of -Custody form (COC) (copy attached, Page 15-18), The COC form should be
completed by the sample taker. One copy should be retained at the site. Another copy
should go to the lab. The COC form should be attached to the outside of the shipping
lcontainer in an envelop marked "Chain of Custody form". All receipts associated with the
shipment should be retained. A completed copy of the COC form should be returned by the
lab with the laboratory results.
i8.5.2 Each person who handles the sample on its way to the laboratory should sign the COC
form and put the time and date in which he/she had possession of it. This will help to protect
ithe integrity of the sample as it is shipped to the laboratory. In general, custody transfers are
' made for each sample, although samples may be transferred as a group. Each person who
takes custody must fill in the appropriate section of the chain -of -custody record.

Transfer of Custody and Sample Identification (Chain of Custody Form)
A Chain of Custody form should accompany samples from the time they are collected until
they reach the lab. The following information is contained in the COC form.
1. Facility name/location
2. Sample site description
3. Sample number
4. Signature/initials of collector for each sample
5. Date and time of collection
b. Indication of grab and composite sample
7. Sample identification and type
8. Number of samples
9. Sample container type
10. Identification of parameter to be analyzed
11. Preservative used
12. Indication of any unusual condition at the sampling
location and/or in the appearance of the wastewater
13. Notation of conditions such as pH, temperature and
appearance that may change before the laboratory analysis.
15.9 Quality Control
Duplicate and split samples as well as sample preservative blanks can be used -as a quality
control check for the sampling procedures. Duplicate samples are separate samples taken
from the same source at the same time. These samples provide a check on sampling
equipment and precision techniques. Split samples are samples that have been divided into
two containers for analysis by separate laboratories. These samples provide an exceiient
means of identifying discrepancies in the laboratories analytical techniques and procedures.
Sample preservative blanks are samples of distilled water to which a known quantity of
preservative is added. They are analyzed to determine the effectiveness of the preservative,
providing a check on the contamination of chemical preservatives.

The preceding calendar is just a recommendation of how the sampling frequency may be laid
out through the year. The months that several of the samples must be taken is fixed by when
the crop is ready to be harvested. However some samples, particularly the water samples, can
be taken during any month as long as there are four approximately evenly spaced samples.
The following table shows the frequency of when the samples should be taken:

All laboratory reports and records should be retained by White Rock Farms for at least five
years. These files should be organized by field number/name, well number or lagoon name.
1 15-23

1 16. Application and Field Event Records
I, Application
When lagoon liquid is applied, Forms 2 and 3 (Attachment 4) should be updated. Form 2 is
a record of the lagoon liquid that is removed from the lagoon. The date the liquid was
pumped, the amount of liquid pumped (gallons), and the field the liquid was applied onto
should be listed on the form. Form 3 is a Field History form. This form will track the
events that occurred on each field (there should be a copy of Form 3 for each field).
Included on this form are the application of lagoon liquid, the harvesting of crops, and the
results from soil analysis. For each part of Form 3 there is a column which accounts for
nitrogen concentrations (PAN applied, N harvested, residual N in soil). These numbers are
used for determining application rates and nitrogen balances for each field. These forms
should be placed in the WMP (tabs for each form) and kept for a minimum of five years.

1 17, Inspections and Record Keeping
Throughout the year different inspections will be completed. Similarly, records of events will
need to be kept. When a situation arises that requires attention, the incident should be
documented, the appropriate people should be notified so as to correct the situation, and the
corrective action that was taken should also be documented. Forms d - 7 in Attachment 4
rwill assist in these activities. The following inspections and records will be maintained:
1
t
t
- Weekly Lagoon Inspection
- Daily and Monthly Total of Rainfall
- Quarterly Lagoon Inspection
Annual Inspection of Entire Waste Management System
Authorized person(s) will inspect each lagoon every week paying close attention to the liquid
level and conditions on the embankment. Daily records of the amount of rainfall need to be
kept since this can adversely effect the lagoon level. Each quarter the lagoons and
embankments should be inspected. On an annual basis, the entire waste management system
at the facility should be inspected.
The completed forms should be laced in the WMP and kept for a minimum of three ears.

of animals listed in Part (a)(1)(A) of this Rule which are placed in operation during the period
from the effective date of this Rule through December 31, 1993 and which submitted a
registration form for the system to DEM on forms supplied or approved by DEM. Systems that
are determined to have an adverse impact on water quality may be required to obtain an approved
animal waste management plan or to apply for and receive an individual nondischarge permit
]from DEM.
(G) New and expanded animal waste management systems serving equal to or greater than the number
of animals listed in Past (a)(1)(A) of this Rule, which have an approved animal waste management
plan after December 31, 1993.
(H) For the purpose of this Rule, the procedures for the development of an approved animal waste
management plan shall be as follows:
(i) The animal waste management practices or combination of practices which are selected to
comprise a plan for a specific feedlot must meet the minimum standards and specifications
of the U.S. Department of Agriculture - Soil Conservation Service contained in the Field
Office Technical Guide or the standard of practices adopted by the Soil and Water
commission or standards for any combination of practices which provide water quality
protection and are approved by one of these two agencies.
(ii) Plans must be certified by any technical specialist designated pursuant to rules adopted by the
Soil and Water Conservation Commission and the certificate submitted to the DEM central
office on forms approved or supplied by DEM. The technical specialist must certify that the
best management practices which comprise the plan meet the applicable minimum standards
and specifications. Should the Soil and Water Conservation Commission fail to adopt rules
-to implement the provisions of this Rule within 12 months of its effective date, all animal
waste management systems that would have been required to obtain an approved animal waste
management plan must apply for and receive an individual nondischarge permit from the
Division of Environmental Management.
(iii) The land application buffers must meet the conditions established in Subpart (a)(1)(C)(ii) of
this Rule.
(iv) The waste shall not be applied at greater than agronomic rates.
(v) For new or expanded animal waste management systems requiring a plan, plan approval must
include an on-site inspection to confirm that animal waste storage and treatment structures
such as but not limited to lagoons and ponds have been designed and constructed to meet the
appropriate minimum standards and specifications.
(vi) New and expanded animal waste storage and treatment facilities such as but not limited to
lagoons and ponds shall be located at least 100 feet from perennial waters as indicated on the
most recent published version of U.S.G.S. 1:24,000 (7.5 minute) scale topographic maps and
other waters as determined by the local soil and water conservation district. This buffer
requirement shall also apply to area where an established vegetative cover will not be
maintained because of the concentration of animals, with the exception of stream crossings.
Animal waste storage/treatment facilities and animal concentration areas will be exempt from
the minimum buffer requirements if it can be documented that no practicable alternative exists
and that equivalent controls are used as approved by the Soil and Water Conservation
Commission.
(vii) For new facilities, an animal waste management plan must be approved before animals are
initially stocked. For an expanded facility, an animal waste management plan must be
approved before the additional animals are stocked. New and expanded systems may be
constructed in phases as long as each phase meets the minimum criteria established in Subpart
of this Rule.
(viii) For existing animal waste management systems, the animal waste management plan shall
include only operational and maintenance standards and specifications in effect on the date
of plan approval . Meeting minimum design and construction standards and specifications
for existing animal waste storage and treatment structures, such as but not limited to lagoons
and ponds, shall not be required for plan approval.
(ix) An approved pian for an existing animal waste management system may be amended at any
time without submitting a new certification to DEM if the revision meets minimum standards

and specifications and is approved by any technical specialist designated pursuant to Subpart
(a)(1)(H)(ii) of this Rule.
(x) For animal waste management systems which use third party applicators, the plan must
require a current record to be maintained for a period of one year which includes the name,
address and phone number of the third party applicator, the date of removal of the animal
waste and the amount of waste removed.
(xi) An approved plan is not required to be approved again when revisions are made to the
minimum standards and specifications, but such revision, as applicable, will be encouraged
to be incorporated into the plan.
(xii) For each change in ownership of the feedlot, the new owner must notify DEM in writing
within 60 days of transfer of ownership that the approved plan has been read and is
understood and that all provisions of the plan will be implemented.
(xiii) A copy of the approved plan, the signed certification form and any approved revisions to the
plan shall be maintained by the operator.
(2) Treatment works and disposal systems for solid waste disposal sites and composting facilities for
solid waste, residuals or residues approved in accordance with the rules of the Commission for
Health Services if the Commission for Health Services has received the written concurrence of the

demonstrated as being nonhazardous and nontoxic, meet EPA's criteria for PFRP or Class A
residuals as defined in 40 CFR 503, are registered by the North Carolina Department of
Agriculture as a commercial fertilizer/soil amendment, are utilized at agronomic rates and are sold
and used exclusively in bag form. No distinction will be made as to whether the material is bagged
in North Carolina or shipped into the state already bagged.
(6) Storage sites for petroleum contaminated soils that are utilized for less than 45 days, storage is on
10 mil or thicker plastic, provisions are made for containing potential leachate and runoff and
approval of the activity has been receiving from the appropriate DEM Regional Supervisor or his
designee.

impervious, weight-bearing foundation, operated under a roof and are approved by the State
Veterinarian.
(11) Operations that involve routine maintenance or the rehabilitation of existing sewer lines. In
situations where existing sewer lines are undergoing routine maintenance, the existing sewer lines
are being rehabilitated by constructing or installing replacement sewers, or the existing sewer lines
ate being refurbished by the installation of some type of sealant or sleeve inside the existing sewer
line, a specific nondischarge permit is not required. These operations will be deemed to be
permitted as long as all construction and installation conforms to the design criteria of the Division
pursuant to Rule .0219 of this Section, as long as new sources of wastewater flow are not being
connected to the rehabilitated sewers, and as long as all replacements or newly constructed sewers
arc located in the same proximity (same general horizontal and vertical alignment) as the existing

.0223 DEMONSTRATION OF FUTURE WASTEWATER TREATMENT CAPACITIES
In order to insure that treatment systems do not exceed their hydraulic treatment capacities, no permits for
sewer line extensions will be issued to wastewater treatment systems owned or operated by municipalities,
counties, sanitary districts or public utilities after January 1, 1994 unless they meet the following
requirements:
(1) Prior to exceeding 80 percent of the wastewater treatment system's permitted hydraulic capacity
(based on the average flow of calendar year 1993 or any subsequent calendar year), the permittee
must submit an approvable engineering evaluation of their future wastewater treatment needs. This
evaluation must outline specific plans for meeting future wastewater treatment needs by either
expansion of the existing system, elimination or reduction of extraneous flows, of water conservation
and must include the soume(s) of funding for the improvements. If expansion is not proposed or is
proposed for a later date, a detailed justification must be made and approved by the Director based
on past growth records and future growth projections and, as appropriate, shall include conservation
plans or other specific measures to achieve waste flow reductions.
(2) Prior to exceeding 90 percent of the wastewater treatment systems permitted hydraulic capacity,
(based on the average flow of calendar year 1993 or any subsequent calendar year), the permittee
must obtain all permits needed for the expansion of the wastewater treatment system and, if
construction is needed, submit approvable final plans and specifications for expansion including a
construction schedule. If expansion is not proposed or is proposed for a later date, a detailed
justification must be made and approved by the Director based on past growth records and future
growth projections and, as appropriate, shall include conservation plans or other specific measures
to achieve waste flow reductions.
(3) The Director may on a case by case basis, allow permits to be issued to facilities that are exceeding
the 80 percent or 90 percent loading rates if the additional flow is not projected to result in the
facility exceeding its permitted hydraulic capacity, the facility is in compliance with all other permit
limitations and requirements and it is demonstrated to his satisfaction that adequate progress is being
made in developing the needed engineering evaluations or plans and specifications.

SUBJECT: Rare Species, High Quality Natural Communities, and Significant Natural
Areas in the Swine Production Facility Project Sites in Anson County, North
Carolina.
Dear Dr. Safley:
' The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program does not have records of known rare species, high
quality natural communities, significant natural areas, critical habitats, or Federal or state wilderness
' or other protected areas occurring at or within a 1 -mile radius of the two swine production facility
project areas in Anson County: #1 on the Hornsboro, SC -NC quad and 92 on the Morven, West,
' NC -SC quad. To our knowledge, these sections of Anson County have never been systematically
inventoried and we cannot definitively state that rare species or significant natural areas do not occur
there.
' Enclosed is a list of rare species that are known to occur in Anson County. If suitable habitat for any
of these species occurs in the project area, then those species may be present at the project site. If
it is necessary to be certain that this site does not contain rare species, a field survey would need to
be conducted.
Contact me at the address below or call me at [phone] if you have any questions or need
further information.

NC NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM COUNTY SPECIES LIST COVER SHEET
The county species list from the NC Natural Heritage Program is a listing of the elements (rare species, natural communities, geologic
' features, and special animal habi(ats) known to occur in a county. The information on this printout is compiled from a variety of
sources, including field surveys, museums and herbaria, literature, and personal communications. The Heritage Program's Biological
and Conservation Database (BCD) is dynamic, with new. records being added and old records being revised as new information is
received. Tlie BCD was developed and is being maintained using methodology developed by The Nature Conservancy, The enclosed
list cannot be considered a definitive record of natural heritage elements, and it should not be considered a substitute for field surveys.
When this information is used in any document, we request that the printout date be given and that the NC Natural Heritage Program be
' credited.
This cover sheet explains the four columns of status codes that are given on the right-hand side of the county list printout.
CODE STATUS CODE STATUS
E Endangered P_ Proposed (E, T, or C)
T Threatened SR Significantly Rare
SC Special Concern EX Extirpated
C Candidate WL -watch List
Plaut statuses are determined by the Plant Conservation Program (NC Department of Agriculture) and the Natural Heritage Program
(NC Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources). E, T, and SC species are protected by state law (Plant Protection
and Conservation Act, 1979). C and SR designations indicate rarity and the need for population monitoring and conservation action.
WL indicates a species not warranting active monitoring, but believed to of conservation concern.
6nimal„statuses that indicate state protection (E, T, and SC) are published in Endangered Wildlife of North Carolina, March 16, 1992,
Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program (NC Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources). SR and EX statuses
are Natural Heritage Program designations. SR indicates rarity and the need for population monitoring and conservation, action. WL
indicates a species not warranting active monitoring, but believed to be of conservation concern.
FEDERAL PROTECTION
This status is designated by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Federally listed Endangered and Threatened species are protected under
the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended through the 100th Congress. Unless otherwise noted, definitions are
taken from the Federal Register, Vol. 56, No. 225, November 21, 1991 (50 CFR Part 17).

DEFINITION
A taxon "in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range.”
A taxon "likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant
portion of its range.*
A taxon proposed for official listing as endangered or threatened.
A taxon officially listed as endangered or threatened.
A taxon under consideration for listing for which there is sufficient information to support listing. Prior to
February, 1996, this category was designated as Candidate 1 (C 1) species.
A taxon for which there is insufficient information to support listing. Prior to February, 1996, this category
was referred to as Candidate 2 (C2) species. Also called Federal "Species at Risk."
In reference to the American alligator - this species is threatened due to similarity of appearance with other rare
crocodilians and is listed for trade purposes. The species is no longer biologically endangered or threatened
and is not subject to Section 7 consultation.
Please note that the US Fists and Wildlife Service no longer recognizes the following categories:
3A Candidate 3A A taxon for which the US Fish and Wildlife Service has "persuasive evidence of extinction."
3B Candidate 3B A taxon formerly under consideration for listing, but which current taxonomic understanding does not support
as a distinct entity meeting the Endangered Species Act's definition of "species."
3C Candidate 3C A taxon formerly under consideration for listing, but which has been "proven to more abundant or widespread
than previously believed and/or [which is] not subject to any identifiable threat."

Attachment 2: Wetland Information

f
1 Wetlands Information
White Rock Farms is located in the Morven West Quadrangle, USGS 7.5" Series, 1971. The
National Wetland Inventory (NWI) indicates that there are some potential wetland areas in the
proposed application areas of Field 3 which border Jones Creek. There are also some
potential wetland areas in the portions of Field 5 which border Big Branch and some adjacent
to the unnamed tributary of Jones Creek between Fields 1 and 2. The wetland areas along the
1 streams are primarily designated as palustrine, forested, broad leaved deciduous, temporarily
flooded (PF01A) or as palustrine, emergent, persistent, temporarily flooded (PEM1A).
Some of the soil series present (Chewacla loam and Ailey loamy sand) at the White Rock
Farms site do exhibit hydric characteristics or inclusions. These hydric areas, primarily
I depressions in the Ailey series soils, and Wehadkee inclusions in the Cliewacla series soils
occur in in either undrained depression or in areas which border streams.
It is strongly suggested that an official Wetlands delineation be performed on those areas
which have potential wetland areas shown on the NWI map. The NRCS can perform
delineations for those areas which are currently cleared and cultivated, while forested areas
1 will require delineation by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Although Field 3 is currently cultivated, agricultural waste cannot be applied to wetlands. As
such, appropriate buffers to prevent application to and runoff' from the application areas will
be observed during sludge application to the field.

Classification System: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has adapted
and used the 'Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the
United States', 1979, by Cowardin, et al., to delineate and identify
wetlands. This system is hierarchical and structured around a combination
of ecological, biological, hydrological and substrate -characteristics
which permits it to be used universally across the United States, its
territories and possessions. It consists of five systems: urine,
Estuarine, Riverine, Lacustrine (lake)- and Paiustrine.(swamps, bogs,
' marshes, etc.) and proceeds in a hierarchical manner through subsystem,
class, and -subclass. It also contains provisions to use water regime,
water chemistry, soil and special modifiers to provide.additional levels
of detail. The following example of the Lacustrine system is provided to
illustrate the hierarchical structure.

Statement to Users: The overlays were prepared primarily by stereoscopic
analysis of high altitude aerial photographs. Wetlands were identified
on the photographs based on vegetation, visible hydrology, and geography
in accordance with "Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of
the United States.' The Wetland maps typically reflect conditions during
the specific year and season when the aerial photographs Were taken. In
addition, there is a margin of error inherent in the use of aerial photo-
graphs. Thus, a detailed on -the -ground and historical analysis of a single
site may result in a revision of the wetland boundaries established through
photographic interpretation. In addition, some small wetlands and those
obscured by dense forest cover may not be included on this map. Federal,
State, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdictions over wetlands
may define and describe wetlands in a different manner than that used in
this -inventory. There is no attempt, in either the design or products
of this inventory, to define the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of
any Federal, State, or local government or to establish the geographical
scope of the regulatory programs and proprietary jurisdictions that may
affect such activities.

' Ref: Soil,and site evaluation for Roddy Purser swine lagoon liner, material,
Anson County, N. C.
On February 20, 1997 six pits were opened on the 400 plus acres. Four of these pits
were on the proposed and surveyed lagoon corners and two were scouting additional
' unlocated areas. Those areas staked and labeled (enclosed map) as 7, 5, 3, and 4
contained minimal CL and even less CH soil material in the profile. A combination of clay,
' clay loam, silty clay loam and silty clay was present in limited quantities in the B soil horizon
of pits 7, 5, 3, 4, and 1 A, but not in 2A. The amounts needed to have a CL or CH was not
found in significant quantity for the desired purpose. As discussed in the field, aii the soil
pits could have been permitted for on-site waste disposal system because of good
percolation characteristics (texture, structure, mineralogy, and consistency).
Pit 2A (approximately located) was a deep sand and to X72" was not stable for
' continued excavation and entry. To enter this pit would have required between a 1:1 to 2:1
layback. This area and landscape was mapped as Candor sands and .would make excellent
base material for a synthetic liner because of the absence of rocky or channery

material described in most other pits. pit 3 material was easily excavated and mostly fine
textured and would also be suitable for this use.
' During a brief overview of the entire tract, via 4 -wheeler on woods roads, I did not see
any surface indicating soils suitable for liner material. The backhoe operator had a working
knowledge of soils on the tract and was certain that none of the plastic soils we were
seeking were .present. Other information he offered checked so this was also assumed to
be correct. The CL and CH soils indicated on the NRCS engineering index properties is a
range, therefore, being on the low side can be expected, as with this tract.
' This letter report and accompanying soils notes are a retrofit of site information.
Original scope of this work was to identify and collect CL and CH material for analysis. Field
notes are not as complete for this summary as if original work had been carried out. My
purpose was to describe only CL and CH soil. When it was not present, notes were
' abbreviated.
If there are additional questions, please give me a call.

t2.0 Delivery
' 2.1 Transportation and Handling Transportation of the geomembrane will be performed
by the geomembrane manufacturer through an independent trucking firm, or other party as
agreed upon by the owner. If the geomembrane arrives on site prior to project personnel,
the customer is responsible for off-loading rolls. Geomembrane, when off-loaded, should
be placed on a smooth well drained surface, free of rocks or any other protrusions which
may damage the material. No special covering is necessary for geomembrane.
' The following should be verified prior to off-loading the geomembrane: that the handling
equipment used on the site is adequate and does not pose any risk of damage to the
geomembrane; that the personnel will handle the geomembrane with care.
Any welding rod delivered to the site prior to the geomembrane manufacturer's arrival
should be kept covered and dry or placed in a storage facility.
' Upon arrival at the site, the geomembrane manufacturer shall conduct a surface observation
of all rolls for defects and for damage. This inspection shall be conducted without
unrolling rolls unless defects or damages are found or suspected. The geomembrane
' manufacturer shall indicate any damage to the Project Manager.
2.2 Storage The Project Manager shall provide storage space in a location (or several
' locations) such that on-site transportation and handling are minimized. Storage space
should be protected from theft, vandalism, passage of vehicles, and be adjacent to the area
to be lined.

ter, vegetation, brush, roots or similar material which could
damage the FML.
C.) The subgrade material will be classified as either CH, CL,
CL -ML, ML, SM, SC, SW or SP by the USCS Classification
system.
D.) The minimum compacted thickness of the subgrade layer shall
be b".
E.) The subgrade will be compacted and graded to meet the FML
contractor's specifications so as to avoid any ruts, irregularities
and soft areas. The subgrade will be thoroughly compacted
to provide support for the FML.
The geomembrane manufacturer shall provide to the Owner/Agent a completed Surface
Acceptance Form specifically indicating the areas accepted and covered by geomembrane
during each day's activities. This form shall be provided after installation activities within
that area. Under no circumstances shall the installer deploy any geomembrane in areas not
acceptable within these guidelines.
If, at any time during the installation of the geosynthetic lining system, the prepared subgrade
deteriorates, becomes damaged, or in any way is determined unacceptable by the Site
Manager, all work shall stop in those areas and the condition of those areas brought to the
attention of the appropriate party.
1.2 Crest Anchorage System An anchor trench shall be constructed along the crest of the
berm of the containment structure. The anchor trench shall be constructed by the Earthwork
Contractor (unless otherwise specified in the contract) to the lines, widths and depths as
shown on the drawings and specifications. This task should be performed daily prior to the
geomembrane deployment.
2.0 Geomembrane Placement
2.1 Field Panel Identification A field panel is the unit area of polyethylene which is to be
seamed in the field, i.e., a field panel may be a complete roll or a partial roll cut in the field.
Smaller units used in the lining systems such as repairs, tabs, extensions, etc. need not be
documented in the same manner as a field panel.
The installer will be responsible for marking each panel with the identification number and
13

1
the appropriate manufacturers roll number. It is suggested that the panel number be marked
on each end of the panel, after the panel is in place, for ease of reference.
' 2.2 Field Panel Placement
' Placement Plan Panel placement should take into account: site drainage (including sump or
low point considerations); prevailing wind direction; subgrade construction; access to the site;
and the production schedule of the project.
Installation Sequence Field deployed panels should be seamed as soon as possible after
deployment to minimize the risk of wind or water damage.
tWeather Conditions Geomembrane panel deployment shall not proceed when ambient air
temperature or adverse weather conditions exist which will jeopardize the integrity of the liner
installation. Typically, installation shall not proceed when the ambient temperature is below
20 degrees Fahrenheit or exceeds 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Special low temperature welding
techniques may be required in conditions of ambient temperatures between 20 degrees
' Fahrenheit and 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Geomembrane panel deployment shall not proceed if subgrade conditions have deteriorated
due to moisture, or in the presence of high winds which might cause damage to the
geomembrane.
tDeployed panels should be adequately ballasted at all times to limit the risk of wind damage.
'
Method of Deployment The Site Manager shall proceed with deployment provided that: any
equipment used does not damage the subgrade; the subgrade conditions have not deteriorated;
the subgrade is free of loose rocks, debris, ruts, etc.; the personnel who are in contact with
' the liner do not smoke, wear damaging shoes or engage in other activities which risk damage
to the liner; adequate sand bags are present to weight the edges of the liner to avoid wind
uplifting; and provided that excessive traffic across the liner is avoided.
i
1
1
1
t

Should these conditions not exist, the site manager shall cease deployment and resolve the
problems with the Owner/Agent.
Damage The Site Manager and/or the QA Technician and the designated Third Party
Inspector shall visually inspect each panel, as soon as possible after deployment, for damage
or areas needing repair. Appropriate marks indicating a need for repairs shall be done during
the inspection. Heavily creased or otherwise defective material will be rejected.

1 3.0 Field Seaming
3.1 Seam Layout In general, seams shall be oriented parallel to the plane of maximum
slope, i.e., oriented along, not across, the slope. In corners and odd shaped geometric
locations, the number of seams should be minimized. No horizontal seams should occur on a
' panel less than 5 lineal feet from the toe of the slope. On slopes of less than 10% (6:1) this
rule shall not apply.
A seam is considered a separate entity if it joins two panels. Repairs are not considered
seams in this context.
t
t
L�
�J
t

A seam numbering system can be used to identify the seams. It is suggested that a simple
numerical system be used or adjacent panel numbers can be utilized to identify the seam.
3.2 Qualifications of Personnel All personnel performing seaming operations shall be
qualified by experience. At least one welder (sometimes referred to as a master welder) shall
have experience seaming a minimum of 5,000,000 ftz of geomembrane. The "Master Welder"
shall provide supervision of the less experienced welding technicians during seaming
operations.
3.3 Seaming -Equipment and Products Approved processes for field seaming and repairing
are extrusion welding and fusion welding. All welding equipment shall have accurate
temperature monitoring devices installed and working to ensure proper measurement of the
fusion welding wedge temperature or the extrusion barrel temperature.
Extrusion Process This process shall be used primarily for repairs, patching, and"special
detail fabrication and can also be used for seaming.
The extrusion welding apparatus (Handwelder) shall be equipped with gauges or other
temperature monitoring devices to indicate temperature of the extrudate (resin) as well as
applicable pre -heat settings.
The Site Manager shall verify that: the equipment in use is functioning properly; the welding
personnel are purging the machine of heat -degraded extrudate prior to actual use; all work by
the personnel is performed on clean surfaces and done in a professional manner; and that no
seaming shall be done in adverse weather conditions.
Fusion Process This process shall be used for seaming panels together and is not generally
used for patching or detail work.
The apparatus may be of a hot wedge type and shall be equipped with a "split wedge", used
for pressure type seam testing.

tThe Site Manager shall verify that the equipment in use is functioning properly; and that the
seaming personnel are seaming in a professional manner and are attentive to their duties.
Fusion welding equipment shall be self-propelled devices and shall be equipped with
functioning temperature and speed controllers and monitors to assure proper control by the
' Welding Technician.
3.4 Seam Preparation The Welding Technician shall verify the following: that prior to
seaming, the seam area is free of moisture, dust dirt, sand, or debris of any nature; that the
seam is overlapped for fusion welding; that the seam is overlapped or extended beyond
damaged areas at least 4" when extrusion welding; that the seam is properly heat tacked and
Labraded when extrusion welding is done; and that the seams are performed with the fewest
number of unmatched wrinkles or "fish mouths".
' 3.5 Weather Conditions for Seaming No seaming shall be performed in ambient air
temperatures or adverse weather conditions which will jeopardize the integrity of the liner
installation. Ambient air temperatures shall not exceed 110 degrees Fahrenheit nor be below
' 20 degrees Fahrenheit during seaming. Additionally, seaming shall not proceed in conditions
in which the liner is subject to dew or other condensation, rain, snow, frost or frozen
subgrade.

3.6 Low Temperature Welding Procedures The following procedures should be used to
maintain the quality of the weld in low temperature ambient conditions (20 degrees
Fahrenheit to 40 degrees Fahrenheit). The most important criteria is the condition of the trial
weld. All trial welds should be made in conditions duplicating the actual welding
environment. Also the following procedures should be followed:
1.) Conduct additional trial weld tests when a welding machine has been
shut off, or after a major change in ambient conditions (a major
change can be considered a change in temperature of more than 20
degrees Fahrenheit, a change in wind speed of more than 10 miles
per hour, or a change in the amount of sunshine on the liner.
2.) The Geomembrane and extrudate material must be dry and free from
frost, dew, condensation, or other moisture.
3.) Hot wedge set temperatures may be increased up to 700 °F in 10'F
increments, as necessary.
4.) The hot wedge rate of travel may be slowed as necessary.
5.) Increase the length of trial weld seams to S feet for extrusion welds
and to 24 feet for fusion welds
R

6.) Clean the seam area immediately in front of the welding apparatus with
a clean, dry cloth.
7.) Destructively test one specimen from the end of each seam to confirm
the quality of the seam.
8.) Increase handwelder (extrusion welder) pre -heat temperature up to
600 °F in 20°F increments, as is necessary.
9.) Increase handwelder extrudate temperature up to 530 °F in 10 °F
increments, as necessary.
In extremely cold conditions, the following procedures may be implemented in addition to
those previously listed:
10.) Install an insulating material such as a geotextile cushion beneath
the seam being welded.
1.1.) Use hot air pre -heat (additional pre -heat for extrusion welding) 6" to
I 12" in front of the welding apparatus (both fusion and extrusion
welders). Verify weld quality by means of a trial weld.
L 12.) If trial welds indicate that a quality weld cannot be produced by the,
above steps, a wind shield or an enclosure may be placed over the
area to be welded. In the case of an enclosure, the enclosed area
' shall be heated by forced air or radiant means to an air temperature
at or above 40 OF,
' 3.7 Temporary_Bonding The Site Manager shall verify that no solvents or adhesives are
used in the seaming area. Tape or heat tacking is permissible for temporarily holding patches
but is not a substitute for the welding process.
1
3.8 Trial Seams (Trial Weld51 Trial Seams shall be made on appropriate sized pieces of
geomembrane material to verify that seaming conditions are adequate.
17
Trial seams shall be performed for each welder to be used
and by each operator of extrusion welders, and by the primary
operator of the fusion welder.
'
A Passing trial seam shall be made prior to seaming each
day. If the apparatus is cooled down after use, an additional
Trial Seam may be required.

Fusion welded trial seams shall be approximately 5 feet long
by 1 foot wide with the seam centered lengthwise. For
extrusion welding the trial seam sample size shall be approximately
3 feet long by 1 foot wide with the seam centered lengthwise.
Four specimens, each I " wide and 5" apart from each other
shall be cut from the trial seam. Two of the specimens
shall be tested in shear and two specimens tested in peel.
Both shear and peel tests shall be conducted to the yield
point of the geomembrane. When testing a fusion welded
seam, the outside (top) weld of a split -wedge weld shall be
considered the primary weld and shall be the weld tested in
peel.
The specimen must exhibit the following properties to pass:
Shear Test - Both specimens must meet or exceed the bonded
seam strength values in shear, or both speci-
mens shall exhibit a bonded seam strength in
1 shear that is greater than 90% of the minimum
yield tensile strength of the parent material.

Peel Test - Both specimens must exhibit failure of the
parent material.
Or: Meet or exceed the bonded seam strength values
in peel, or strength values shall be greater
than 70% of the minimum yield tensile strength of
the parent material.
General seaming operations may proceed prior to the test being complete. Should a Trial
Seam fail, a sample shall be removed 3 lineal feet from the start of the seaming operations
and tested per the above. This procedure will be followed until a passing sample is located
and all work preceding that sample shall be repaired.
The geomembrane manufacturer shall assign each Trial Seam sample a number and record the
test results in the appropriate log.
Upon passing, and unless otherwise specified, all Trial Weld specimens and other material
may be discarded.

Concept The geomembrane manufacturer shall non-destructively test all field seams their full
length using an air pressure test or a vacuum test. The purpose of non-destructive tests is to
check the continuity of the seams.
The Site Manager shall: schedule all non-destructive testing operations; instruct the testing
personnel regarding marking of repairs needed, leaks, and sign -off marks on seams and
repairs; and monitor the operations of testing personnel to ensure that procedures for testing
are followed.
On seams that cannot be non-destructively tested by vacuum or air -pressure methods due to
physical constraints, i.e., a boot detail, the seam shall be tested using other approved methods.
Vacuum -Testing The equipment shall be comprised of the following:
* a vacuum box assembly consisting of a rigid housing, a
transparent viewing window, a soft Basketing material at-
tached to the bottom, a valve assembly, and a vacuum gauge;
* a vacuum pumping device;
* a foaming agent in solution;
* and a method of applying the foaming agent.
The following procedures shall be followed:
* wet a section of the seam with foaming agent;
* place the vacuum box over the wetted area;
* energize the pumping apparatus;
* atter obtaining a minimum of -5.0 psig in the box, and
for a period of approximately 10 seconds, observe the seam
through the viewing window for presence of soap bubbles
emitting from the seam;
* if no bubbles are observed, reposition the box on the next
area for testing;
* if bubbles are detected, which indicates a leak in the seam,
mark the area of the leak.

Air Pressure_ Testing The following procedures are applicable to those seams provided by a
double -seam fusion welding apparatus.
The equipment shall be comprised of the following: an air pump, or air tank, equipped with
a pressure gauge, capable of producing air pressures between 25 to 30 psi; and a sharp hollow
needle to insert the air into the air chamber of the seam.
The following procedures shall be followed:
* Seal both ends of the air channel in the seam to be tested.
* Insert the hollow needle into the air chamber of either
ends of the seam to be tested.
* Energize the air pump to a pressure between 25 and 30 psi,
and read pressure inserted into the chamber. Allow the
pressure to stabilize and if necessary, re -pressurize to
between 25 and 30 psi and not the pressure.
* Upon completion of all readings, open the opposite end of
the seam with a needle. The escaping air will confirm
that the entire 1Pngth of the seam was pressurized and
therefore tested.
* Upon passing the air pressure test, the seam shall be
marked.
Pass/Fail Criteria The following criteria must be met for a pressure test to pass: with the
pressure of 25-30 psi stabilized in the air channel, the time should be noted; after a minimum
of 5 minutes, the air pressure should be read again; if the difference between the two readings
exceeds 4 psi, the seam Failed.
Procedures for Air Pressure Test Failure
Should the seam fail the air pressure test, the following procedures shall be followed:
* While the seam air -channel is under pressure, traverse the
length of the seam and listen for the leak.
* While the seam air -channel is under pressure, apply a soapy
solution to the searn edge (do not trim excess material from
edge of seam) and observe for bubbles formed by escaping
air.

t
OR:
* Re -test the seam in progressively smaller increments, until
the area of leakage is identified.
* Repair the identified leak area by extrusion welding the
excess material at the edge of the seam and then vacuum
test.
' * In areas where the air channel is closed and the integrity
of the weld is not suspect, vacuum testing is acceptable.
3.10 Destructive Seam Testine
Concept Destructive seam tests shall be performed at selected locations. The purpose of
these tests is to evaluate bonded seam strength. Seam strength testing shall be performed as
work progresses, or at the completion of all field seaming.
1 Location and Frequency The frequency of sample removal shall be one sample per 750 ft. of
seam.
fl
Size of Samples The size of the sample for Independent Testing shall be 12" by minimal
length with the seam centered lengthwise. The sample shall be cut into the following
segments and distributed as follows:
* The first segment cut shall be 12" x 12" marked with the
appropriate DIS number and given to the QA Technician for
testing.
* The second segment, 12" x requested length {maximum 18" shall be marked
with the appropriate DIS number and transmitted to the Independent
Testing Laboratory or the appropriate Third Party Quality Assurance
personnel for their dispersal.
Field Teslin The segments given the QA Technician shall be tested in peel and in sheer
using the following criteria:
* Ten specimens of I" width shall be cut from the segment.
* Five of the specimens shall be tested in a peel configura-
21

tion. The outside (top) weld of a split wedge weld shall be
considered the primary weld and shall be the weld tested in
peel.
* Five of the specimens shall be tested in a shear
configuration.
* If specified, the geomembrane manufacturer will supply a
field tensiometer equipped with a drive/pull apparatus
adjusted to a pull rate of 2"/min to 20"/min and a means of
measuring the strength of the sample.
Pass/Fail Criteria The installers sample will pass when:
* The peel specimens exhibit failure of the parent material.
* The bonded seam strength peel values shall be greater than or
equal to 70% of the minimum yield tensile strength of the
parent material.
* The shear specimens display parent material failure.
* If the bonded seam strength in shear values are not listed,
then shear values shall be greater than or equal to 90% of
the minimum yield tensile strength of the parent material.
Locus of break determinations are to be in accordance with
ANSI/NSF 54.
Four out of five specimens meeting the above criteria will constitute a passing test.
If the test results fail, the following procedure shall be followed:
* Additional samples of the same size shall be removed from
the failed seam and these samples shall be removed 10 lineal
feet in front of the failed sample, and another sample
removed behind the failed sample. The samples shall be
labeled A and B samples.
* If both the A and B samples pass, suspect seam shall have
the flap extrusion welded or be capped and non-destructively
tested accordingly.
22

1
* Should either the A and/or B sample fail, the distance from
the failed sample to the next sample location shall be a
minimum of 10 lineal feet, until the area of incorrect seam
is isolated. The samples shall be labeled.
* In lieu of taking an excessive number of samples, the
installer may opt to extrusion weld the flap or cap the entire
seam and then it may be nondestructively tested accordingly.
4.0 Defects and Repairs
4.1 Identification All seams and non -seam areas of the polyethylene lining system shall be
examined for identification of defects in the seam or sheet.
Identification of the defect may be made by marking on the sheetJseam with paint or other
marks. The following procedure shall be followed.
* For any defect in the seam or sheet that is an actual breach
_ (hole) larger than 114" in the liner system, the installer
personnel shall circle the defect and mark the letter "P"
inside the circle. The letter "P" indicates that a patch
is required.
* For any defect in the seam or sheet that is less than 114"
hole the installer personnel shall only circle the defect
indicating that the repair method may be only an extruded
bead and a patch is not necessary.
Unless otherwise specified, only the geomembrane manufacturer's personnel and Third Party
' Certified Quality Assurance personnel shall be permitted to mark on the liner system and
third party Quality Assurance personnel shall use markings that are distinguishable from the
geomembrane manufacturer's personnel markings.
4.2 Evaluation Each suspect area that is identified as needing repair shall be repaired in
accordance with this section and nondestructively tested.
After work is complete, the Site Manager and or Quality Assurance Technician shall conduct
a final walk-through of the area for confirmation that all repairs have been appropriately
performed, all test results are positive and the area has all scrap, trash and debris removed.
Only after careful evaluation by the Site Manager and acceptance by the Owner/Agent shall
any material be placed upon the lining system.
4.3 Repair Procedures Any portion of the polyethylene lining system exhibiting a defect

Swine Anaerobic Lagoon Sludge 'Land Application Spreadsheet
This spreadsheet uses values from. rznsting NCSU/NCDA data bases to calculate the fertilizer nutrients, application rates and,
land areas needed for agronomic usage of broadcast swine anaerobic lagoon sludge. Values in' cells J25 -P54 represent inpuLC
' which need to be entered to use this spreadsher.t. Values in cells C25-154 are typical values which may be used if more specific.
information is not available. If actual lagoon sludge nutrient analyses are used, then a corresponding change in lagoon sludge
volumes should also be entered. Application rates and land areas arc calculated for a range of fertjliza6on rates. Actual,
' fertilization rates based on crap yield may be entered into celts J64466 with the results calculated in columns W and AE iU
Table C. The spreadsheet also computes herd live weight equivalents, lagoon capacities, and estimated annual lagoon sludge
volumes to be land applied.

SPRINKLER IARIGCITION GUIDE
'
General
This irrigation guide outlines and presents basic data on North Carolina
soils, crops and water factors necessary for the design of sprinkler ir-
rigation systems.
Irrigation cn the far7 is the use of irrigated soils and irrigation water
'
in a manner that will insure hi -h production without waste of water or
erosion of Oa soil.
The purpose o; the Guide is to answer some of the questions of interest
to the designer. How deep should the soil be moistened? How fast can
water be applied? How much water should be applied at each irrigation?
t,Then should crops be irrigated? What is the moisture use rate for
'
various crops?
Croos, Soils, and Water Factors far Design_
An irrigation system to be successful and follow the concepts of conser-
vation must be designed to fit 'the crop and soils to be irrigated.
'
Diff -rent craps will use different amounts or moisture. Additional
g1iidance for the design of an irrigation system may be found in Chapter 15
of the Engineering Field Manual or in Section 15 of the National
Engineering Handbook.
North Carolina has a wide variety of soil types and these cannot be ir-
rigated alike. An accurate, detailed soil survey of the area to be ir-
rigated is necessary.
Recuirements for Successful Irrigation
The benefits from irrigation must increase farm income sufficiently to
cover the cost of purchasing, operating and maintaining an irrigation
1
..
system and leave a reasonable return on the owner's investment.
The successful use of irrigation is determined by the following conditions:
Water Supply - The first requirement for irrigation is an adequate supply
of good quality water during those periods when the need for irrigation
water is greatest. The number of acres which can be. properly irrigated
'
at such times is dependent upon the .available water supply. The water
supply should be adequate to irrigate the intended area of crops during a
prolonged dry period before -serious crop damage occurs.
tIn
North Carolina the following general recommendations- are made with re-
spect to the water supply that should be available for each acre to be
irrigated.

Attached, please find a report detailing a revision to the Waste
Management Plan for White Rock Farms. 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.
If you have any questions or need any further information, please contact
Steve Crawford of Agri -Waste Technology, Inc at [phone].

12. Land Application/Waste Utilization Plan
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.
12.1 Application Method
The land application area at the White Rock Farms site is divided into 5 separate land
application fields. Fields 3, 4, and 5 contain seventeen application lanes. A hose -reel
irrigation system with travelling guns will be utilized to apply lagoon liquid.
12.2 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
approximately 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.
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.
12-1

12.3 Nitrogen Utilization
The planned cropping program for the facility is fescue 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 the soil types present at the Roddy Purser
Farm is shown in Table 4.

As can be seen in Table 4., the Realistic expected yields of Fescue hay for the various
soil types range from 3.5 tons per acre to 4.5 tons per acre, with the predominance of the soil
types yielding 3.8 tons per acre.
I
The nitrogen removal estimate found in SCS 590-5 (North Carolina) for tall fescue is 40-50
1 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 lbs N per ton of hay nitrogen
uptake, the following acreages are required:
For land application of lagoon liquid, 62.5 acres will be needed each year.
11, 880 lbs N X tion hay X acre = 62.5 acres
year 50 lbs N 3. 8 ton hay
For land application of lagoon sludge, 50.9 acres are needed every 5 years.
9,680 lbs N X tion hay X acre = 50.9 acres
year 50 lbs N 3.8 ton hay
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.
12-3

r]
The proposed irrigation system lagoon will consist of a stationary irrigation pump located on
the berm of the lagoon, sufficient 6" Class 200 PVC mainline to reach all irrigation lanes.
The pump will be capable of supplying 350 gallons per minute to the hose reel equipment at
a delivery pressure of 150 psi. Effluent will be delivered to the irrigation lanes via
' approximately 7,600 feet of buried 6" Class 200 PVC irrigation line with 4" hydrants. The
hose reel equipment will be an Amadas Model P1030 with a Nelson P150 SR gun or their
functional equivalents.
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.
' 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 lane 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 3q show the design calculations for total
dynamic head, line pressure and required horsepower for each irrigation lane.
If a uniform application rate of 0.30" per application is utilized with an 80 psi traveling un
PP P PP P g g
discharge (nozzle) pressure, between 11 and 15 cycles (passes) per irrigation lane will be
required to apply the desired amount of Plant Available Nitrogen to the fields. The number
Lof passes is determined by the soil type. If the maximum application rate of 0.50" inches is
used, 7 to 9 cycles per irrigation lane will be required, depending on soil type. Table 5
summarizes the number of cycles required per irrigation lane to achieve the desired PAN
application.

Note that the number of irrigation cycles indicated in Table 5 may not completely apply the
total desired application of Plant Available Nitrogen to the indicated irrigation lane. A final
pass at a reduced application rate may be desirable to "finish out" the desired application of
nutrients.
t The equipment specified should complete a cycle in the longest irrigation lane in
P
' approximately 113 minutes with a 0.30" application rate. With a 0.50" application rate, a
cycle will require 193 minutes. At these rates approximately three lanes per day could be
' effectively covered. With seventeen irrigation lanes, the entire application area could be
uniformly irrigated once every 6 days. A site map indicating the proposed irrigation lanes is
' shown in Figure 7. The primary liquid application areas to be utilized will be fields 3, 4 and
5.

The USDA Sprinkler Irrigation Guide indicates that infiltration rates for the soil types range
1 from 0.30 to 0.35 inches per hour for Chewacla and Badin soils and to 0.30" to 0.40" for the
' Nason soils. The USDA Sprinkler Irrigation Guide suggests that the irrigation frequency for
Nason and Chewacla soils 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. The Badin soils have a recommended irrigation frequency of once every three days
with a maximum application of 095" of water.
' This corresponds very well to the capability of the proposed equipment. If 0.50" applications
are utilized, approximately 54 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
fescue hay on the 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
application area. It may be desirable to construct a temporary, flexible membrane lined
settling basin to store 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
1 exceeded.

-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 primary and secondary
sludge application areas. It is intended that the majority of the sludge will be applied to
' Fields 1, 2 and 5 with any remaining sludge applied to those areas of Fields 3 and 4 which
cannot be effectively irrigated by the liquid application system. A site map showing the
sludge application areas, along with the applicable buffers, is shown as Figure 8. along with
the applicable buffers,
' 12.6 Summary of Waste Production and Application
Based on the steady state live animal population of the site, approximately 11,880 lbs of Plant
Available Nitrogen (PAN) are produced in the lagoon liquid each year. The lagoon liquid
application system will cover 72.7 acres with a potential maximum yearly PAN uptake of
' 12,966 pounds.
' Additionally, 9,860 lbs of PAN will be produced in the lagoon sludge every five years. The
primary sludge application areas (Fields 1, 2 and 5) encompass 56.3 acres of available
' application area with a maximum PAN uptake of 9,798 pounds. The remaining sludge will
applied to the secondary sludge application areas in Fields 3 & 4, encompassing
' approximately 6.9 acres. If conditions in the primary application areas dictate that a lesser
amount of sludge should be applied, the secondary sludge application areas may also be
utilized to receive a larger proportion of the sludge. The secondary sludge application areas
are the areas in Fields 3, 4 and 5 which cannot be effectively covered by a traveling gun
irrigation system. The maximum PAN uptake in the secondary sludge application areas is
1,898 pounds.
