REG, OFFICE
The waste from your animal fac Ry must be land applied at a speed rate to gent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the ant TW 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 wash 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 Wjzatlon plain in outer to maxhnize
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.
Z Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and avae water holding capacities.
3. Nontlafly waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 toms per acne per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 ions per acre Per yew Providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated sorbs, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in namff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations:

5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and dow m_ wind odor
problems.
6. To ma Amite 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 form breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste apprcation method shown above. If you goose 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 #his type of faciRy. In some cases you may want to have plan# analysis made, which could
a8aw, addttronal waste to be applied. Provisions shag be made for the area receiving waste to
be flexibie so as to arocommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must
be applied, to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production.
This waste uftation plan, ff carried out, meets the requirements for compfiarm with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental NWnagemerd Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.);
6080 animals X 222.65 gall year =
1353712 gallons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (lbs):

acreage listed in chart A positive number means additional acreage is required to utilize the
nitr�ogen Produced by the farm.
NOTE:
This plan does not kiclude commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available n>irogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops meted 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
rrmnagement plan that addresses a0 nutrients. This plan only adder rurogen.
In irrterpfanied fields (i.e. smaA grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hayandlor silage. Where grating, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle Mould 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 siage, care
Should be exerdsed not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (I.e.
April or May). Shading may result if sanali grain gets too high and this w1H rely interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This foss of $Wnd wig result in r dL=ed yields and less nboW
being utfted. Rather thin cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal sbuation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earffw 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 M.
The ideal time to interplant sma 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.

See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periadlc land application of sludge at
agionomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to
pnwent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 0.072 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year In the
sludge based on the appitlon method listed earlier.
Page: 4

N you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 2188.80
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 7.30 acres of land. If you apply
the sludge to oom at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 17.51 acres of land.
Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements
could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and
applications.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION:
The imgation 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 so# moisture content, soil
ire, soil texture, valor droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irngatin nor should the
plant available nfrogen applied exceed the nbogen needs of the crop.
If surface krriigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the y of the
producer and Irrigation designer to ensure that an irriga bon system is installed to properly
inigate the antes shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid

amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The nuodmum
arpplic ion amount shown can be aged under optimum soil conditions.
Your faciTrty 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 responsiaabiliiyy 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 assistenca in

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface wader 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. Alwrays 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 utET¢e.
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 estabrmhed
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. ProvL-4ons shall be made for the area nweiving 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 1 SA NCAC

indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or winter annuals follow summer
annuals.
*A negative number reflects the total lbs of additional nitrogen needed to achieve yields on
acreage listed in dart. A positive number means additional acreage is required to utilize the
nitrogen produced by the farm.
NOTE:
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, andfor 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, cane
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (Le.
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
Page: 3

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.

Acres shown in the preceding table are considered to be the usable acres excluding
requh-ed buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irr%wed, and perimeter areas
not receiving full appkation rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields
Gated may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. -
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utr"i¢ativn of animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utirmafion 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 applicalJon of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 0.072 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year in the
sludge based on the appkation method listed earlier.
Page: 4

If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 2188.80
pounds of PAN to utilize. ' Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 7.30 acres of land. If you apply
the sludge to com at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 17.51 acres of land.- ,
Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements -
could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and
applications.
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.
The following is provided as a guide for establishing apprrcation rates and am counts.

*This is the maximum application amourrt 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 responsiability 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 invarid.
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.

Additional Comments: '
Grower may opt to irrigate on overseeded winter annual. Application is not to exceed 50 Ibs Nacre.
Winter annual should be cut for hay inspring to prevent shading of coastal hay.

Your animal, waste utilization plan has been specifically
developed for your swine operation. The plan -is based on the
`*ry= soil types,. crops to be grown, and method of application for
Cl your particular operation: The waste must.be land applied at a
" r specified rate, to prevent pollution of' -'surf ace and/or ground rT
water. The plant nutrients. in the animal waste-. should- be-- uses �
- = reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer- required for thew aroj
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 and annual soil tests:;`
are 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 and leaching potential. Waste shall not be applied to
land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. Do'not
apply waste on saturated soils or on land when the surface is
frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to
surface waters. 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
not more than 30 days prior to planting. Soil incorporation
of waste will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.

I understand that I must own or have access to equipment,
primarily irrigation equipment, to land apply the animal waste
described in this waste utilization plan. This equipment must be
available at the appropriate pumping time such that no discharge
occurs from the lagoon in a 25-year 1-day storm event. I also
certify that the waste will be applied on the land according to
this plan at the appropriate times and at rates that no runoff
occurs.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by
runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or
direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of -waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
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 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 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.
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.

WASTE UTIL12ATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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 a discharge or by over -spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided
they have been approved as a land application site by a
"technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharges 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
showers, toilets, sinks, etc.,
animal waste management system.
from washdown facilities,
shall not be discharged into the
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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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 preplant 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
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be
monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these
metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted 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.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North
Carolina regulations.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
-------------------------------
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) with
minimum odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level
to be reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to
flushing operations and the amount of fresh water to be added to the
system.
The designed 6 months temporary storage is an estimated volume
based on : 1) waste from animals; 2) excess rainfall after
evaporation; and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day) rainfall that
occurs on the average of once every 25 years. The volume of
waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly
constant throughout the year and from year to year. This
esti-mate is based on 7 inches of excess rainfall which is
equal to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in a year.
The average annual excess rainfall is approximately 8 inches.
Therefore, an average of 8 inches of excess rainfall will
need to be pumped each 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 maximum elevation is
determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually
the outlet invert of pipe(s) from building(s). If the outlet
pipe is not installed on the elevation to begin pumping, a
permanent marker must be installed on this elevation to
indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be
established to stop pumping to maintain minimum treatment depth
(6 feet). Pumping can be started or stopped any time between
these two elevations for operating.convenience as site
conditions permit (weather, soils, crop, and equipment to apply
waste without runoff or leaching).
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set,
center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should
be taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field
or damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
I. It is strongly recommended tha the treatment lagoon be pre -
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids
should be covered with effluent at all times. When pre -
charging is completed, 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.
This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see
Attachment B) before land application.

3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva-
tion 50.30 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump -out
when the fluid level reaches elevation 48.00 or before
fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of
favorable bacteria). The design temporary storage, less 25 year
storm is 75277 cubic feet or 563068 gallons. As stated
before, this volume will vary considerably from year to year.
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.
5. Keep vegetation on embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon
mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to
maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to
stable outlets.
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.
9. The clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ-
mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.
NOTES:

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
----------------------------------------------------------
CLEARING:
All trees and brush shall be removed from the construction area
before any excavating or fill is started. Stumps will be
removed within the area of the foundation of the embankment and
fill areas and all excavated areas. All stumps and roots exceeding
one (1) inch in diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of
one (1) foot. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all
debris. The foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before
placement of embankment material. Lagoon site (and pad site if
needed) to be stripped of topsoil (311) and stockpiled for use on dike
and pad slopes (2-311). The topsoiling quantity is in excess of
amounts specified on page one (1).
Cut-off Trench:
--------------
A cut-off trench (when specified) shall be installed as shown in
the plans.
Construction:
------------
Construction of excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed
to the neat lines and grades as planned. Deviations from this will
require prior approval of the SCS. Earthfill shall be placed in
max. of 611 lifts and not placed in standinV water. Compaction
shall be performed by the construction equipment or sheeps-foot roller
during placement. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed
using the more impervious materials. Construction of fill
heights shall include ten (ld) percent for settlement. To
protect against seepage, when areas of unsuitable material are
encountered, they will need to be excavated a minimum of one (1) foot
below grade and backfilled and compacted with a SCS approved
material (i.e.--CL,SC,CH). Refer to the soil investigation
information in the plans for special considerations. Precautions
should be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion
and sedimentation.

OPERATION & SLAENTENANCE 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 beam udagrass or when there are extended rainy spells such as
the thunderstorm season in the ate. This means that at the first signs ofplant growth in
the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste mamsgement plan should be
done whenever the land is dry enough to receive lagoon liquid This will make storage space
available in the lagoon for fit= wet periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be
pumped down to the low marker to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimmn 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.
LAGOON NMEWITANCE
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
✓ Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermadagrass are the
most common vegetative rovers. 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
embankrnent and surrounding areas should be fertifized with 800 pounds per acre of
10-10-10, or equivalent.
✓ Brush and trees on the m!kankment mitst be controlled This may be done by mowing,
spraying, gym ing, 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 chemncals 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 event& hems to be checked should
include, as a minimum, the following:
✓ Waste blet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes -- look for:
I . separation ofjoints
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:
L settlement, cracking, or ",lug" 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
S. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong winds.
These waves can erode the lagoon side walls, 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 lagoon We wall, baffles in the lagoon may be used to reduce the wave
iimpacts.
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 -famdliar with design and o mstrucdon of
waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix ifthere is a threat of 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 Pins --- check for proper operation of.
I . recycling pumps
2, irrigation. pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittipgs, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding 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 that
you are not completely "surprised" by equipment facture. You should perform your puruping
system maintenance at a tip when your lagoon is at its low leveL This will allow some safety
time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly fu11 lagoon is not the time to think about

switching, repairing, or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is fidl,, 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 nmotl; roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot runoff) away
from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage struchues. The only water
that should be coming into your lagoon is that which comes from your $asking
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly. You should
inspect your diversion system for the following:
l . adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height
Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system during or
immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to determine proper
solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon}ust prior to when rain is predicted, and then record the
level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assames there is no pumping). This will give you an idea of
_ how much your lago;m level will rise with a certain rainfall amown (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
Lagoon Qperation
Startup:
Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil surfaces
to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment vohtm 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 e3dender on 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 ofthe lining.
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial
establishmgnt (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 fiill lagoon liquid
volume. This seeding should occur 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 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid vohmse
until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid 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 tedmied 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 better the lagoon will
fimcdon_ Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are optimum for
trot. Pit recharge systems, in vAiwh one or more buildings are drained and recharged each
day, also work well.
Practice water conservation --- minimize building water usage and spillage from
leaking waterers, broken pipes and wash down through - proper maintenance and
water conservation.
Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will reduce
the amount of solids entering the lagoon
Management:
✓ Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full temporary
storage level.
✓ Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid. level and the maximwm 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 mwdmized for the sum aier
thunderstorm season. Sanilarly, irrigate in the late summer/early fall, to provide maxim
lagoon storage for the winter.
✓ The lagoon liquid level should new be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the dam
or embankment.

'1 ✓ Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage level unless you are
removing sludge.
✓ Locate goat pump intakes 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 or vegetation, molded feed,
plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
✓ 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 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 pollartaw discharge.
Mudge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by.
• proper lagoon sizi g,
• mechanical sohds separation of gushed waste, gravity settling of$ushed waste solids in an
appropriately designed basin, or
• mpg feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed anmually rather than stored long term will:
• have more nutrients,
• have more odor, and
• require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
• Ire 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 forage land; roux
retraining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul and spread onto cropland or
forage land; and sod incorporate.
• Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forage land;
dredge sludge from lagoon with drag line 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 spread witb manure spreader onto cropland or forage land; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you nuust have the shtdge material analyzed for waste constituents just
as you would your lagoon water. The sludge wdl contain different nutrient and metal values from
the liquid. The application ofthe sludge to fields will be limited by these nutrients as well as any
previous waste applications to that field and crop requirement.
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 activity
iurmediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be removed without liner injury.
If the liner is damaged it roust be repaired as soon as possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a notch 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 sod test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of erosion Note that if
the sludge is applied to fields with very high sod -test phosphorus, 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. Ezra
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 6&ures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types of
ftikm include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the dam
Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for ensuring structure
safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification of the lagoon structure --- an example is the placemeaut of a pipe in
the dam without proper design and construction. (Consuh an expert in 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 inlet pipe scouring, damage during- sludge
removal, or rupture from lowering 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. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge of
wastewater and possible dam fi lure.

Dear Mr. Cruise:
This letter is in regards to the complaint you notified the Fayetteville Regional
Office of the Division of Water Quality on June 29, 1999 concerning possible
swine waste in the ditch located behind your residence. An investigation revealed
that the ditch contained no flowing water. The water within the ditch had a slight
odor, but did not appear to be swine waste. The nearest swine facility located to
your residence is owned by Matt Hardee. The name of the facility is Baldwin
Branch Nursery. An investigation of the facility on the same afternoon in which
I met with, indicated there was no evidence of swine waste leaving the property
at the present time. The water within the ditch located behind your house
appeared just to be stagnant water. However, for future reference if you notice a
flow into the ditch other than storm water, please do not hesitate to notify our
office.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this
matter, please contact me at [phone].

V
Farm Name: 01,)30
Baldwin Branch
County: Bladen
Farm Type: Wean -Feed
Farm Capacity: 6060
Storage Structure: Anaerobic Lagoon
Storage Period: 180 [lays
Application Method: Irrigation
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.
4
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-t 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 th"urface 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.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR ( gallons, ft3, tons, etc.):
6060 animals X 222.65 gal/animal/year =
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (lbs):
6060 animals X 0.48 lbs/animal/year =
1349259 gallons
2,908.80 lbs
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.

•A negative number reflects the total lbs of additional nitrogen needed to achieve yields on
acreage listed in chart. A positive number means additional acreage is required to utilize the
nitrogen produced by the farm.
NOTE:
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 Aefinately 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.
TIV 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.

Acres shown in the preceding table are considered to be the usable acres excluding
required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas
not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields
listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste_
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
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 0.072 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year in the
sludge based on the application method listed earlier.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 2181.60
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 7.27 acres of land. If you apply
the sludge to com at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 17.45 acres of land.
Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements
could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and
apt'pticati9ns.
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.
The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

"This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount

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 responsiability 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. --

Dear Matt Hardee and Steve Campbell:
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 parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit.
In accordance with your application received on February 20, 2003 and in accordance with the directive
of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Matt
Hardee and Steve Campbell, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment,
storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of
this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS090130 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 Baldwin Branch Nursery, located in Bladen County, with an animal capacity of
no greater than an annual average of 6080 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 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

Waste Utilization Plan
Producer: Matt Hardee
Name of Farm: White Plains Nursery
Location: 304 Westwood Dr.
Elizabethtown NC 28337
Phone: [phone]
Type of Operation: Wean -Feed
Number of Animal: 6080
Storage Structure: Anaerobic Lagoon
Method of Application: Irrigation
Amount of waste produced per year:
Amount of plant available N (PAN) producedlyear:
County: Bladen

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 the 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 not be applied to land eroding at more 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 in runoff to the surface waters which is not
allowed under DWO regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crops 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 applications 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. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which

White Plains Nursery
Page 2
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 the 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.

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.

White Plains Nursery Page 3
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 bermudagrass), 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 to reach materity,
especially late in the season ( i.e. April or May) Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will
definitely interfere with the 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 mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best
results.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning
may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended.
Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filters strips along
ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to
equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the field listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres
shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
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 438 lbs. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 2189 lbs. of PAN to utilize. Assuming you
apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs. per acre you will nee 7
acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre you will need 18
acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estmates of the PAN and the land needed. Actual
requirements could vary by 25% depending on the sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and
application methods.
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

White Plains Nursery
Page 4
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 irrrigate the acres shown in tables.
Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan
invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

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 limitations. 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 instances should the volume of the waste be 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 the waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated
properly to apply the correct rates 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 have receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the
amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to appling the waste.

Compliance Timeframes:
If the sludge level is equal to or higher than the stop pump level of the lagoon or if the sludge level
results in an elevated waste analysis, a sludge management plan that meets the requirements of SIB
Interagency Group Guidance Document 1.26 must be prepared by a technical specialist and submitted to
DWQ within 90 days. Work to reduce the sludge level must begin .within another 180 days. Compliance
with NRCS Standard 359 must be achieved within two years of the original sludge survey.
If the sludge level is non -compliant but below the stop pump level of the lagoon, a POA must be filed
within 90 days and compliance with NRCS Standard 359 must be achieved within two years of the
original sludge survey indicating non-compliance. If future sludge surveys do not show improvement in
sludge levels, DWQ may require the owner to develop a sludge management plan that meets the
requirements of SIB Interagency Group Guidance Document 1.26,

NARRATIVE: Use this section to describe the method(s) that will be used to lower the sludge
depth. If microbe use is planned, specify the product to be used.
Sludge Management/Operation Plan
Sludge Management Guidance
Lagoon evaluation data developed by NCSU and a review of lagoon management records of several lagoons
showed that the treatment capability of the swine lagoons evaluated in NC was not significantly adversely
affected by sludge accumulations of 50% or more of the planned treatment volume of the lagoon. Therefore it
is felt that it is permissible to allow sludge accumulation into the planned treatment zone of properly
monitored and managed lagoons provided that:
o Nutrient values of the lagoon effluent are within the normal operating range.
o There is no noticeable increase in lagoon odor.
• Nutrients land applied from the lagoon are property accounted for in the application plan (WUP).
Sludge Management
Sludge in my lagoon will be managed by the following:
o Adequately monitor to define sludge volume, location, and rate of accumulation by conducting an
annual sludge survey.
o Maintain a minimum 2.5 feet deep zone, free of sludge at the pump intake during irrigation.
a Position the pump intake and manage the irrigation operation such that the material irrigated is
not more concentrated than the nutrient analysis samples.
o Sufficient monitoring to address concerns that nutrients are not over applied.
• Other items as required by OWQ.
Plan of Action, and to the best of my knowledge and ability, the information is accurate and
correct. I further certify and acknowledge that compliance with regard to sludge accumulation
must be achieved within two years of the original sludge survey indicating non-compliance.

F. Lagoon Surface Area (using dimensions at inside top of bank): 1.3 (acres)
(Draw a sketch of the lagoon on a separate sheet, list dimensions, and calculate surface area. The lagoon
may have been built different than designed, so measurements should be made.)
G. Estimate number of sampling points:
a. Less than 1.33 acres: Use 8 points
b. If more than 1.33 ac_ r,3 acres x 6 = with maximum of 24.
(lasing sketch and dimensions, develop a uniform grid that has the same number of intersections as the
estimated number of sampling points needed. Number the intersection points on the lagoon grid so that data
recorded at each can be easily matched.)
N. Conduct sludge survey and record data on "Sludge Survey Data Sheet' (Appendix 2). Also, at the
location of the pump intake, take measurements of distance from liquid surface to top of sludge
layer and record it on the Data Sheet (last row); this must be at least 2.5 ft. when irrigating.
1. At the time of the survey, also measure the distance from the Maximum Liquid Level to the Present Liquid
Level (measure at the lagoon gauge pole):
J. Determine the distance from the top of bank to the Maximum Liquid Level
(use lagoon management plan or other lagoon records)
K. Determine the distance from the Maximum Liquid to the Minimum Liquid level:
(use lagoon management plan or other lagoon records)
L. Calculate the distance from the present liquid surface level to the Minimum Liquid Level
(Item K Minus Item I, assuming the present liquid level is below the Maximum Liquid Level)
M. Record from the Sludge Survey Data Sheet the distance from the present liquid surface level to the
lagoon bottom (average for all the measurement points)
N. Record from the Sludge Survey Data Sheet the distance from the present liquid surface level to the top
of the sludge layer (average for all the measurement points):
O. Record from the Sludge Survey Data Sheet the average thickness of the sludge layer:
P. Calculate the thickness of the existing Liquid Treatment Zone ( Item N minus Item L):

The average thickness of the sludge layer and the thickness of the existing liquid (sludge -free) treatment zone are determined
from the information on the Lagoon Sludge Survey Form ( Items O and P, respectively). In this example, the average sludge
layer thickness is 2.5 feet and the existing liquid treatment zone is 3.5 feet. If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume,
see notes at end of the worksheet. The dimensions of the lagoon as measured and the side slope are needed
for calculations of sludge volume and of total treatment volume_ If the lagoon is a standard geometric shape, the sludge
volume and the treatment volume in the lagoon can be estimated by using standard equations. For approximate volumes
of rectangular lagoons with constant side slope, calculate length and width at the midpoint of the layer, and multiply by layer
thickness to calculate layer volume, as shown in the example. For irregular shapes, convert the total surface area to a square
or rectangular shape. For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the "Prismoidal Equations" may be used.

15. Ratio ( R ) of sludge layer volume to total Treatment Volume
R = Vs/Vz 0.38
If the ratio R exceeds 0.50, than a sludge Plan of Action may be required- Check with DWO for information
on filing the Plan of Action.
Note: If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume (DSSV), subtract that volume from both the volume
of sludge (Vs) (Item 8) and from the volume of total treatment zone (Vz) (Item 14), and take the ratio.
Then, R = (Vs-DSSV) / (Vz - DSSV)
Example: If DSSV = 85,000 ft3, then R = (169,860 - 85,000) / (447,174 - 85,000) = 84,860 / 362,174 = 0.24.
