(Design Capacity)
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 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
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

applied, they must be accounted for. N must be based on realistic V&W Mectation.
NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N
requirements. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in some
eastern counties of North Caroline to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients.
This plan only addresses Nitrogen.

Your facility is designed for M 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 waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 'see lagoon staff gauge. 197.
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or
Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for
assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to
applying the waste.
Narrative of operation: Field shown was disked and leveled in the Fall of 1997. Bermudagrass
was present and stand should come back in 1998. The coverage of this stand should be
maintained in '98 until full coverage is once again achieved. Farm uses hard - hose traveller
for irrigation. Acres shown are "irrigated" acres with this system.

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 waste, he/she shall provide a copy of
an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing himther the
use of the land for waste application. 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 data, climatic conditions, and level
of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application 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 that is eroding at 5 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 Strip),
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 irrigation field.
6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated
on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland,
the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season
prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" 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 or flies.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
Page 5

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 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 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 from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal
waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be
applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
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 wetlands
provided they 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 courses 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.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
17 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.
18 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.
19 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 propellant with no further applications animal waste
during the crop season.
20 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.
21 Waste shall be tested within 69 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually
at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites
shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
22 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

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 fnr 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 & MAINTMNANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round prioriry. 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 spate available in the lagoon for future wet
padods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
marker (see 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 Bermuda. -ass 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 fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or
ecuivaient.
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 Pines —look for.
I. . separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall condition of pipes

Lagoon surface —look for.
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment ---look for:
1. 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 weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lag
aon sidewall, baffles in the -lagoon 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 familiar with design and
construction of waste Iagoons. 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:
1. recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Chi for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually laud or grinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in nerd or repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your -pumping
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low 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 panting 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 cgmes 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 corr=red promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. if technical assistance is needed to
detrine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should reword the level of the lagoon Just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon Ievel will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning 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 into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
ti
Lagoon Operafion
1. immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design meatment volume at least half full of wav--before
waste Ioading begins, taking care not to erode lining or. bank slopes.
0. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pine extender on the
of end the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the iagoon during initial
flHin� 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 estabEshment (due to wanner weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seed with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the fiff lagoon
liquid volume. This seeding should occ our -at least two weclo 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 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon Iiv_rtid
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.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly 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 treatment_ pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained
and recharged each day, also work well.

Practice water conservarion--minimize building water usage and
spillage from Ieak ng-warerers, brnken pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance and water conservation.
Mina ze feed wastage and spillage by looming feeders adjusted. 'This
will redu= the amount of solids entering the lagoon
Maxia��me�
Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and
the full temporary storage level.
s
Place visible markers 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 date in the spring based on
nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that -temporary storage
will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly,
irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
storage for the wiritr.
The lagoon liquid level should never be closer d= I foot to the lowest
point of the darn or embanlanent.
Do not pump the lagoon liquid Ievel lower that the permanent storage
level unless you are removing sludge.
Locam float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liQ_irid
sum and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage orvegetation,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other rormgn materials into the-lagoon-
rreauently 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 embankment
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 a.
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:

proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids =action of flushed waste,
gmvirymottling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed bass, or
minimizing feYd was',age 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 properly use: the nutrients.
Removal t=hnicues:
Mic a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
pumD through large -bore spriiikler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper par of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
foreland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and sou incorporate.
Dewater the upper par L of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with d-razline, or sludge bar4e; berm
az area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back
into Iazoon; allow sludge to dewate ; haul and spread with manure sprmdey
onto cropland or forage —land; and soil incorporate.
Reaggardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The applicarion or the sludge to fields wili-be7
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applicarions to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must 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 acsviry 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 Iagoon has a much higher phosphorus and.heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with Iow phosphorus
and mewl 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 phosphorms 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 should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.

possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures T.sult in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the snucturu Types
of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the
dam_ Assuming, proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
encoring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification of the lagoon structure —an example is the placement of a pipe
in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult.an expert m
lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams_)
Lagoon liquid levels —high levels.are. a safety fudc
Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
Liner integrity —protect from hilerpipe scouring, damage during sludge
removal, or rupture from loweaing lagoon liquid level below groundwater
table.
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water -will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. On= this damage starts, it can quickly -cause a large discharge
of wastewater and possible dam failure.

Emergena Action Plan
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 wastd 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 catch all 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 temporarily lu ed with cla_y soil

the details of incident from item 2 above, and the location or direction
of movement of the spill, -weather and wind conditions, what corrective
measures have been undertaken, and the seriousness of the situation.
B. If spill leaves, or is likely to leave, property or enters surface waters, call
local emergency management service (EMS) at 910-862-6760.
C. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department.
D. Contact local Soil and Water Conservation District Natural Resources Conservation
Service office at 910-862-6936 for advice/technical assistance. The
Extension Service can be reached 910-862-4591 for advice/technical assistance.
E. Contact Murphy Family Farms Land and Nutrient Management Department at 910--
289-2111 for advice/technical assistance.
4. Implement procedures as advised by DWQ and technical assistance agencies to rectify
the damage, repair the system, and reassess the waste management plan to keep
problems with release of wastes from happening again.

RE: Murphy Farms Ammon Nursery Lagoon Retrofit Certification
Facility #09-79
Dear Ms. Homewood:
During the process of ongoing monitoring of the components of the waste management system at
this facility through our Environmental Management System (EMS), we have discovered that
liquid levels inside the lagoon on this farm are not increasing at the same rate as others in this
area. This lagoon was correctly designed by a P.E., utilizing a clay liner in accordance with
NRCS standards. The lagoon was installed, inspected, and certified upon its construction and the
farm has been properly managed since its construction. However, given the lagoon level
observations described above, we now question whether the lagoon continues to perform in
accordance with NRCS standards. Since we have not been able to confirm that this lagoon is
performing in accordance with NRCS standards, we have decided to pursue a conservative
approach by taking this lagoon out of service, conducting a proper closure of the structure and
replacing it with a new lagoon, which will have a synthetic liner. The new lagoon will be the
same size and capacity as the existing lagoon and will not provide for any increase in the design
capacity of the farm. We believe, even though it involves considerable expense, this is the right
and responsible thing to do.
Attached you will find a package of material related to the retrofit of the lagoon component on
this farm. We are prepared to begin work on this sight. Specific items enclosed for your review
include:

ASCS Tract Map

I (we) verify that all the above information is correct and will be updated upon changing. I (we) understand the operation and
maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste management plan for the farm named above and will implement
these procedures. 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 Environmental Management before the
new animals are stocked. I (we) understand that there must be no discharge of animal waste from the storage or application system
to surface waters of the state either directly through a man-made conveyance or from a storm event less severe than the 25 - year,
24 - hour storm and there must not be run-off from the application of animal waste. I (we) understand that run-off of pollutants from
lounging and heavy use areas must be minimized using technical standards developed by the Natural Resources Conservation
Service. The approved plan will be filed at the farm and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District. I (we) know
that any modification must be approved by a technical specialist and submitted to the Soil and Water Conservation District prior to
implementation. A change in land ownership requires written notification to DEM or a new certification (if the approved plan is
changed) within 60 days of a title transfer.

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 catch all 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 temporarily plugged with clay soil

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CQNSTRUCTION
1291112 RMA•� - •�Jl
The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be cleared of
trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders, sod, and rubbish. Satisfactory disposition
will be made of all debris. The topsoil from the lagoon and pad area should be stripped
and stockpiled for use on the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area
of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior to placing
the first lift of fill material to get a good bond.
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT
The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations
shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen
soil, stones over 6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent they
are suitable, excavated material may be used as fill. The fill shall be brought up in
approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness when loose and prior
to compaction. Each layer will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and
spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or equivalent method. Compaction will
be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that
settlement is not readily detectable. NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR
PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION.
The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials from
the required excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for settlement.
Dikes over 15 feet in height with an impoundment capacity of 10 acre -feel or more fall
under the jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law and require permitting by the NC Dept. of
Environment, Health and Natural Resources, Land Quality Section. The height is defined
as the difference in elevation from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike.
Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and
sedimentation.
LINER:
THE MINIMUM REQUIRED CLAY LINER THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.5 FT.
NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN INDICATED ON THE
DRAWINGS OR WHEN MATERIAL IS ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION THAT
WILL NOT PROVIDE THE PERMEABILITY LIMITS AS STATED LATER IN THIS SECTION.
SUCH MATERIAL IS CONSIDERED UNSUITABLE WITH RESPECT TO LINING. A TYPICAL
CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DRAWINGS WHEN LINERS
ARE REQUIRED.

When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be overexcavated below
finish grade to the specified depth as measured perpendicular to the finish grade. The
foundation shall be backfilled as specified to grade with a material approved by the
engineer or his representative.
REFER TO THE DRAWINGS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS.
Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The minimum moisture
content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture content which relates to that
moisture content when the soil is kneaded in the hand it will form a ball which does not
readily separate. Water shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture
content during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner material shall not
be less than optimum moisture content during placement. The maximum moisture
content relates to the soil material being too wet for efficient use of hauling equipment and
proper compaction. Proper compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and
compacted to at least 95 percent of the Standard Proctor Maximum Dry Density
(ASTM D698) of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift shall be scarified
and moistened as needed before placement of the next lift.
The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted permeability of a clay
liner, other than the type of clay used for the liner, is the efficient construction processing
of the compacted liner. The sequence of equipment in an established pattern helps
assure uniformity in the entire placement and compaction process. For most clay soils, a
tamping or sheepsfoot roller is the preferred type of compaction equipment.
In accordance with NRCS South National Technical Center (SNTC) Technical Note 716
(revised September 1993) the maximum allowable specific discharge of the liner is
1.0 x 10`5 cm/sec. This specific discharge is dependant on the permeability of the
liner material, the liner thickness, and the hydrostatic pressure on the liner. With the
minimum required liner thickness stated earlier and the maximum liquid depth in the
lagoon, the maximum permeability of the compacted liner is 125 x 10-6 cm/sec. Upon
completion of the liner, undisturbed samples will be taken and tested for actual
permeability. Any permeability tests indicating a higher permeability than stated above
will be considered as failing. Failing tests will require recompaction of the liner material
and retesting.
For lagoons being built in soils which do not require clay lining the same permeability
requirements apply as for clay liners and testing of the in -situ material will be conducted.
During the excavation process, soils at the excavated surface are loosened as adjacent
material is being removed. As a result, the permeability of these surface soils is increased.
To insure proper compaction and minimum soil permeability, when lagoon excavation is
complete the inner side slopes and bottom shall be rolled thoroughly prior to testing_

The soil liner shall be protected from scour produced by the discharge from waste outlet
pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator: concrete flumes,
concrete blocks laid tightly together, or using flexible pipe outlets on waste pipes.
Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant. When these are
specified, additional construction specifications are included with this Construction
Specification or are shown on the drawings.
[91110412=111.4
A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when called for in the
notes on the drawings or as shown on a typical cross section on the drawings. The final
dimensions of the cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation
materials during construction.
VEGETA N-
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.
An observation trench shall be dug along the perimeter of the lagoon 25 feet outside the
proposed embankment toe to verify that no subsurface drain tile lines are present in the
lagoon area. The trench shall be dug to a minimum depth of five feet and shall have a width
adequate to accommodate equipment used for backfill and compaction. Trench side
slopes shall be 1.1 or flatter. Trench backfill shall be compacted as stated in the
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT section of the specification.
When tile drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum of 25 feet beyond
the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile trench shall be backfilled and compacted with
material approved by the engineer or his representative. Tile drains that are 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.

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 124 hour storm for the location,
(5) and, if applicable, an additional "heavy rain" storage volume for chronic rainfall
events. Allocation for any additional fresh water usage is also included in the
temporary storage. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals
will be fairly constant throughout the year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year.
The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but
this storage volume must always be available.
A staff gauge must be installed in the lagoon that indicates the start pumping and stop
pumping levels. The start pumping level is the maxium liquid level under normal operating
conditions. The stop pumping level is the minimum liquid level under normal
operation to maintain required treatment volume and depth. Pumping can be started
and stopped anywhere between these two elevations for operating convenience as site
conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste
without runoff or leaching. However, it is recommended that the lagoon be kept
pumped down as much as possible.
Land application of wastewater is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal.
Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling guns. Care
should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops.
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 97.38 as marked by the staff gauge. Stop pump -out when the fluid level
reaches elevation 95.30. This temporary storage, less 25 year/ 24 hour storm,
contains 49563 cubic feet or 370729 gallons.
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the
recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inches per hour. Refer to the waste
utilization plan for further details.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed
annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded or damaged areas and establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets.
8. Keep a minimum of 75 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.

Bladen County
Dear Murphy Farms:
On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the
Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General
Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the
expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with
all interested patties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit.
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 AWS090079 which expired on April 30, 2003.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Ammon Nursery Farm, located in Bladen County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 2600 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. This COC shall also acknowledge the construction of a replacement
lagoon per a Ietter issued by the Division on March 5, 2003.
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you
are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
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 Perntittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to oD rate
der this permit convey any12roMrtv rights in either real or mrsonal oronerty. ENWR

(Design Capacity)
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 sod tests are
strongly encouraged so that all giant 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. Sod types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leachiag
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 Sze 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, p rep aradon,'and transfer ofwaste samples to the lab for
analvsis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A
NCAC 2IL0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runo$ 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. Ifthe
producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall
provide a copy 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 facility to secure an update of the Waste UtMzation
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, climatic conditions,
and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of
application 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 that is eroding at 5 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 Strip).
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 irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be sod
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland_ When applied to conservation tilled
crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not
occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North
Carolina" 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 is a method which does not
cause drift from the site during application_ No pondi ag should occur in order to
control odor or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.

Owner/ Manager Agreement
I (we) verify that all the above information is correct and will be updated upon changing. I (we) understand the operation and
maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste management plan for the farm named above and will implement
these procedures. 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 Environmental Management before the
new animals are stocked. I (we) understand that there must be no discharge of animal waste from the storage or application system
to surface waters of the state either directly through a man-made conveyance or from a storm event less severe than the 25 - year,
24 - hour storm and there must not be run-off from the application of animal waste. I (we) understand that run-off of pollutants from
lounging and heavy use areas must be minimized using technical standards developed by the Natural Resources Conservation
Service. The approved plan will be filed at the farm and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District. I (we) know
that any modification must be approved by a technical specialist and submitted to the Soil and Water Conservation District prior to
implementation. A change in land ownership requires written notification to DEM or a new certification (if the approved plan is
changed) within 60 days of a title transfer.

Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 919/733-0026.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 9-79
Bladen County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLDI, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571.

SUBJECT: Designation of a Certified Operator in Charge
Ammon Nursery Farm

Dear Murphy Family Farms:
North Carolina General Statute 90 A-47.2 requires the owner of each animal waste
management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or
more horses, 1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid
animal waste management system, to designate a properly certified operator as the
Operator in Charge (OIC). Our records indicate that the OIC you previously
designated is no longer a certified animal waste management system operator.
As the owner of a registered animal operation with an animal waste management
system, you must designate a certified animal waste management system operator as
the Operator in Charge. Enclosed is an Operator in Charge Designation Form
specifically for your facility. Please return this completed form to this office by
June 12, 1998. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as
absolving you of the responsibility and liability for any past or future violations for
your failure to designate an appropriate Operator in Charge.
If you have any questions regarding the certification of an operator, or need assistance
in locating a certified operator in your area, please contact
Cindy Dudley with the Technical Assistance and Certification Unit at
[phone] ext. 309.
Sincerely,
Joseph B. McMinn, Supervisor
