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

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

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

The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at
agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to
prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 576 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon
sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 2880 pounds of plant
available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 9 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 23.04 acres of land. Please note that these
are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values
may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application
Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific
application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION:
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation
such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil
structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids_ The application amount should not
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the
plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
'This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of
freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

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

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

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

Subject: Sludge Compliance Requirement Change
Dear Permittee:
In accordance with Condition III.19 of State General Permit AWG100000, your facility is
required to maintain compliance regarding sludge accumulation in your animal waste treatment
lagoon(s). As you know, the previous compliance limit was to have a minimum of four (4) feet
of treatment depth between the designed stop pump and the average elevation of the top of the
sludge blanket. This requirement was based on NRCS Standard No. 359, which was recently
modified.
As of July 2008, Standard No. 359 does not use the 4-foot requirement. Sludge compliance is
now to be based on the sludge volume as a percentage of the total treatment volume. The revised
Standard states that sludge accumulation in the permanent treatment zone must be less than 50%
of the planned treatment volume. Also, there must be a minimum of 2.5 feet of liquid above the
sludge at the pump intake location. If either of these conditions is not met then sludge must be
removed or managed in accordance with an approved Plan of Action for Lagoon Sludge
Reduction (POA). A new sludge survey worksheet has been developed to calculate sludge and
treatment volumes to determine compliance.
Our records indicate that you have filed a Sludge POA for one or more of the lagoons at your
facility. Based on the changes to the sludge requirements in Standard No. 359, your lagoon(s)
may already be in compliance without any sludge removal. Using your lagoon design (or as -
built information) and current sludge survey measurements, complete the NEW sludge survey
worksheet. If you have any difficulty in locating or understanding your lagoon design
information, please contact your technical specialist or county Soil & Water office.

The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at
agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to
prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 576 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon
sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 2880 pounds of plant
available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 9 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 23.04 acres of land. Please note that these
are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values
may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application
Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific
application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION:
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation
such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil
structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the
plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
'This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for > 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of
freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

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

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

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

Dear Murphy Farms:
On June 11, 2004, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued a revised State General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill
733 (Session Law 2003-28).
In accordance with your application received on February 13, 2003 and in accordance with the directive
of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to
Murphy Farms, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and
land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC
supersedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS090009 which expires October 1, 2004.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Cypress Creek Nursery Farm, located in Bladen County, with an animal
capacity of no greater than an annual average of 8000 Wean to Feeder swine and the application to land
as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to
Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are
unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced
by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009. Pursuant to this COC,
you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and roust be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Since this is a revised State
General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the
previous State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keeping
and monitoring conditions in this permit.

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

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should
be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields
where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization -plan uses nitrogen as the limiting
nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are
strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the
crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to
maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an
environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen'than the crop
can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching
potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.. Normally
waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With
special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per
year. Do not apply waste on saturated sons, when it is raining, or when the surface is
frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not
allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift
and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or
applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on'typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis
report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on
proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for
analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 1 5A
NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Guide Std. 633)
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have
appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner_
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown
and surface application:

* This N is from animal waste only. If nutrients from other sources such as commercial
fertilizer are applied, they must be accounted for. N must be based on realistic yield
expectation.
NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and .K maybe over applied while meeting the N
requirements. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in
some eastern counties of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses
allnutrients. This plan only addresses Nitrogen.

System Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation
conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates
change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular,
pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use,
nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the
discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the
design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the
application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and- accelerates wear of the
sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged
intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating
below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity.
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every
three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at
several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to
collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because
they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount
without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets,
jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided
the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring.
For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly
throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling
guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction
of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both
sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all
nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers
of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation
dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially
important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and
wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the
receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are
extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means
.that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to
a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to
receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet
periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
marker (set Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. - Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as -long as the weather and waste
utilization plan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to
irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods.
Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of
state law and subject to penalty action.
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam.
Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if -needed, to
maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be
based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas
should be fertilised with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or
equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be
done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices. This should be done at least once a year and
possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter
the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating
the waste.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of
the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes —look for:
1. separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall condition of pipes
Lagoon surface —look for:
I. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment —look for:
I. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability —slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakcning the lagoon dart.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the Jagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam: If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert famikiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary -fix if there is a threat
of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert_
Transfer Pumps --check for proper operation of:
I. recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or ganding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or
replacement_
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated. frequently enough so d= you -
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your -pumping
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its Iow level. This will allow some
safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not.the time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment or storage structures. The only water that: should be
coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height
Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your systi=
dung or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
deummine proper- solutions, consult with aPProPriam experts.
Youshould record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the levei again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This vnU
give you an idea of how ranch your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amotmt
(you must also be recording your rainfall for ties to work). Knowing this should help in
Plante irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage i= the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
Iagooa Operation
Startup_
1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soYi
surfaces to avoid erosion.
Z. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes_
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender an the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining.
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
5 _ It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full_ lagoon
liquid volume. This seeding should occour-at least two weeks prior to the
addition of wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below
7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of i pound per 1000 cubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon Ezd&
pH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended
if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm
season.
The more frequently and reguiady that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the betterthe
lagoon will function_ Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are
optimum for aiz=ent Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained.
and recharged each day, also work well_
Practice water conservation —minimize building water usage and
spillage from leaking-wate=s, broken pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance and water conservanon.
Minimise feed wastage and spillage: by keeping feeders adjusted. This
will reduce the amount of solids entering the Lagoon
Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and
the full temporary storage level.
Place visible marl= or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid. lever (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating at the earliest possible daze in the spring based on
nutrient requirements and soil moismre so that 'temporary storage
will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly,
=gate in the late summer/early fall to provide nmmmum lagoon
storage for the warmer.
The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest
point of the dam or embankment.
Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage
level unless you are removing sludge.
Locate float pump intalaes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid
surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign mzterialc into the-lagoaa-
Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses.or
wherever they are installed.
Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges -
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embank nr.=
Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is
full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of ar
pollutant discharge.
Sludge.Removah
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:
proper lagoon s 2: ng,
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
minimiring feed wastage and spillage -
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properiy use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate_
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator, haul
and spread onto cropland or foragelaud; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dxagrline or sludge barge; berm
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back -
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and suread with manure spreader
onto cropland or forageiand; and soil incorporate.
R gardl= of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
cow just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain differ=t
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will' be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement- Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you Trust also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage- Close
attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact- If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be
removed without liner injury- if the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible -
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and.heavy metal content
than liquid- Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels. as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion- Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it
should- be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus_ As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value -
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site
Extra Precaution ion should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could incase the concern of neighbors.
Possible Causes of Lagoon Faflnre
Lagoon faiimes -result in the unplanned discharge of wastervarer, from the structare. Z�pes
of failtz= include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the
darn- Assuming Proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
eum=g structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon fafiures include_
Modification of the lagoon struct im—an example is the placement of a pipe
in the dam without proper design and constracrian. (Consultan expert; is
lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams-)
Lagoon liquid levels --high levels.are. a safety risk-
Failure to inspect and maintain the dam_
Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon -
Liner integrity —protect from inlerpipe scouring, damage during sludge
removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon lied level below groundwater
table.
NOTE: If Igoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving waterwill soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly. cause a large discharge
of wastewater and possible dam failure.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and 180 days of
temporary storage. The time required for the planned fluid level (permanent and
temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing
operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days of temporary storage for:
(1) manure production of animals, (2) excess fresh water storage, (3) rainfall in
excess of evaporation, (4) storage for the 25 year J 24 hour storm for the location,
(5) and, it applicable, an additional °heavy rain" storage volume for chronic rainfall
events. Allocation for any additional fresh water usage is also included in the
temporary storage. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals
will be fairly constant throughout the year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year.
The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but
this storage volume must always be available.
A staff gauge must be installed in the lagoon that indicates the start pumping and stop
pumping levels. The start pumping level is the maxium liquid level under normal operating
conditions. The stop pumping level is the minimum liquid level under normal
operation to maintain required treatment volume and depth. Pumping can be started
and stopped anywhere between these two elevations for operating convenience as site
conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste
without runoff or leaching. However, it is recommended that the lagoon be kept
pumped down as much as possible.
Land application of wastewater is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal.
Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling guns. Care
should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is required that the treatment lagoon be precharged to one --half the treatent volume
or as otherwise specified on the lagoon design drawings before wastes are introduced.
The purpose is to prevent excessive odors during start—up. Precharging reduces the
concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should
be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with
recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling.
2. The attached Waste Utilization Plan shall be followed. The plan recommends
sampling and testing of waste before land application.

3. Begin temporary storage pump —out of the lagoon when the fluid level reaches the
elevation 57.20 as marked by the staff gauge. Stop pump —out when thefluid level
reaches elevation 55.20. This temporary storage, less 25 year / 24 hour storm,
contains 99484 cubic feet or 744140 gallons.
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the
recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inches per hour. Refer to the waste
utilization plan for further details.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed
annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded or damaged areas and establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outsets.
8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization
fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches.
Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall
be applied in a manner such that waste will not reach other property and public
rights —of ---way.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters
of the United States. Waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by either discharge or by over —spraying. The Department of Environment,
Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Management,
has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

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

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

The soil liner shall be protected from scour produced by the discharge from waste outlet
pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator: concrete flumes,
concrete blocks laid tightly together, or using flexible pipe outlets on waste pipes.
Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant. When these are
specified, additional construction specifications are included with this Construction
Specification or are shown on the drawings.
CUTOFF TRENCH:
A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when called for in the
notes on the drawings or as shown on a typical cross section on the drawings. The finial
dimensions of the cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation
materials during construction.
VEGETATION:
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the
planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction according to the
seeding specifications. Topsoil, if available on site should be placed on areas of the dike
and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch shall be used if recommended
permanent vegetation is out of season dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should
be established as soon as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates.
REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS:
An observation trench shall be dug along the perimeter of the lagoon 25 feet outside the
proposed embankment toe to verify that no subsurface drain file lines are present in the
lagoon area The trench shall be dug to a minimum depth of five feet and shall have a width
adequate to accommodate equipment used for backfill and compaction. Trench side
slopes shall be 1:1 or flatter. Trench backfill shall be compacted as stated in the
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT section of the specification.
When the drains are encountered, the file will be removed to a minimum of 25 feet beyond
the outside toe.of slope of the dike. The file trench shall be backfilled and compacted with
material approved by the engineer or his representative. Tile drains that are removed
shall be either capped off or rerouted around the lagoon, as directed by the engineer or
his representative.
SAFETY AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS:
All operations shall be carried out in a safe, skillful, and workmanlike manner. All safety and
health regulations shall be observed and appropriate personal safety and health measures
used at all times during construction.

Using this outline as guidance; you should develop a specific emergency action plan for your
waste handling system.. This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your
operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off the site. You should NOT wait until wastes
reach surface water or leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should
make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be available to all
employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks could happen at any time. Your
plan should follow this format:
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be
possible. Suggested responses to problems are listed below:
A. Lagoon overflow —possible solutions are:
add soil to berm to temporarily increase elevation of dam —any permanent
alteration of the dam should be approved by a qualified professional engineer
or qualified technical specialist
pump wastes to field at an acceptable rate
stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waters) -- —hold waste in house if possible
call a pumping contractor
make sure no surface water is entering lagoon
NOTE: The above listed activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded
the temporary storage level.
B. Runoff from waste application field —actions include:
immediately stop waste application
create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field
incorporate waste to reduce further runoff
C. Leakage from the waste distribution system:
pipes and sprinklers —actions include:
stop recycle (flushing system) pump
stop irrigation pump
close valves to eliminate further discharge
separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
flush system, houses, solids separators —actions include:
— stop recycle (flushing system) pump
— stop irrigation pump
— make sure no siphon effect has been created
— separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
D. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed to
flowing leaks —possible action*:
dig a small well or ditch to catchall seepage, put in a submersible
pump, and pump back into lagoon
if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and
fill holes and compact with a clayey soil
other holes may be likewise temporadly plugged with clay soil

The «paste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should
be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields
where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization-plau uses nitrogen as the limiting
nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are
strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the
crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to
maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an
environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop
can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching
potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.. Normally
waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With
special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per
year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is
frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not
allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift
and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or
applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis
report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on
proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for
analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A
NCAC 2110217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have
appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will, be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown

• REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land
application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal
discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the
Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
awns 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 xvith a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner
who is v ithiu 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 o«ner 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 data, climate conditions,.
and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate 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 than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used
where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to 'Buffers"
required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390
(Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers].
5. - Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application_ Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
b. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When apphed'to conservation tilled
crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not
occur during a -season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North
Carolina" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.)
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
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_.
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 no
more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered.
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 rninirrn,m and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up. released
nutrients. - Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop
on bare soil
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance
may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter
strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips)
12. Anima I waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-
ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by
a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted
wetlands pro,,rided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist"_ Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discbaree
directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided the application
causes no runoff or drift from the site.
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc.,
shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum
operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in
addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation NNU be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be
pro��ided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation.
Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas
where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible.
Lagoon berms,and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion,
leakage, or discharge.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, Ieaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should
be kept on site.

I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specification and the operation and
maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the
farm named above. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the
Waste treatment and storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new
certification to be submitted to the Division of Environment Management (DEM) before
the nevv animals are stocked. I (we) also understand that there must be no discharge of
animal waste from this system to surface wasters of the state from a storm event less
severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm. The approved plan will be filed on -site at the
farm office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District and will be
available for review by DEM upon request.

I Concerns are based upon DWQ records consisting of deficiencies noted in state inspection reports, NOVs, penalty assessments and/or reports submitted to DWQ by the farm. Carefully
review your records to identify the specific concern or concerns and then describe the concern under the appropriate heading together with a reference to the specific record and the date of
the record (i.e., inspection report dated or NOV dated ___J. With the exception of "discharges," which cover calendar year 2000, concerns are based on DWQ records for the
calendar years beginning January 1, 1996, and ending December 31, 2000.
` Describe in as much detail as possible how the concern has been addressed, or, if it has not been addressed, the measures the farm intends to undertake to address the concern and a
schedule for completing the measures.
3 If subsurface drains are present, state whether you know that the drain(s) is discharging groundwater uncontaminated by hog waste, and if so, the basis for that conclusion.

' Concerns are based upon DWQ records consisting of deficiencies noted in state inspection reports, NOVs, penalty assessments and/or reports submitted to DWQ by the farm. Carefully
review your records to identify the specific concern or concerns and then describe the concern under the appropriate heading together with a reference to the specific record and the date of
the record (i.e., inspection report dated or NOV dated ___). With the exception of "discharges," which cover calendar year 2000, concerns are based on DWQ records for the
calendar years beginning January 1, 1996, and ending December 31, 2000.
` Describe in as much detail as possible how the concern has been addressed, or, if it has not been addressed, the measures the farm intends to undertake to address the concern and a
schedule for completing the measures.
3 If subsurface drains are present, state whether you know that the drain(s) is discharging groundwater uncontaminated by hog waste, and if so, the basis for that conclusion.
