Introduction The Ed Johnson Farm is a new swine farm in the southeastern part of Montgomery County N. C. The farm is located in an agricultural/rural setting well off of the paved road. As of this document date construction on one or more of the housing units is finished or is close to completion. The lagoon has been constructed. The farm is a pig nursery operation and has the capacity of 3,840 head in 4 confinement houses. Swine effluent will be stored in a lagoon and be recycled into the houses to recharge the waste removal systems. On occasion lagoon effluent will be pumped from the lagoon and land applied via a spray irrigation system. The effluent appliedto farm grown crops will act as a commercial fertilizer substitute. PHASE II (this report) contains as -built information on the lagoon structure, dam construction, and general as built characteristics. Usually this section is prepared after all lagoon construction is complete and volumes and or sizes can be measured. The engineer has tried to weigh all factors in accordance with importance while construction was taking place on this lagoon and keep the final construction as close to the original plans as practical. 2, Genera! Site Information And Lagoon Location The physical location of the farm is in the southeastern part of Montgomery County, off State Road # 1003, approximately 3 miles north of Windblow, N. C. The nearest stream is Naked Creek and it is located approximately 1,000 feet from the proposed lagoon site. Exhibits 1, 2, and 3 (PHASE I document) show various views of the property location As the site work was taking place it was not possible to make the lagoon shape exactly like the original design due to the first grading contractor's equipment limitations. However it was possible to make the lagoon very close to the target shape once a new contractor took over the project. Correct volumes to meet design guidelines for treatment were obtained. The position of the lagoon on the property was as described in PHASE 1. 3. Review Of General Farm Parameters. I. Type of facility: Nursery operation 2. Number of hogs: 3,840 head. 3. Average animal weight assumed: 30 pounds. 4. Approximate full volume of lagoon in gallons (cubic feet) - estimated. 1,438,934 (7,123) 5. Total number of acres at the farm. 210 +1- acres 6. Number of acres in pond and containment houses (approximately). 3 acres 7. Housing: 4 Units @ 960 head each S. Type of Waste Treatment Anaerobic lagoon 4. Lagoon Shape. The treatment lagoon was originally designed to be a rectangular surface with a flat bottom. The first grading contractor's equipment was not sufficient to build the lagoon in the designed shape. A new and different contractor completed the lagoon. Overall the final lagoon resembled the initial design. The final shape was steeper on the inside and had rounded comers with the bottom almost flat and closer to a rectangle. (See Exhibit 5A For Topographic Details). 5. Soils. When deep excavations were taking place on the lagoon a considerable amount of clay and sandy clay was found below the sandy upper soils. This material started around 8 to 9 feet deep (below original grade). While this sandy clay material was not ideal for use as a lagoon liner it was far better than that found during the first soils investigation. This material was estimated to be between 8 and 9 feet thick as it lay. The engineer decided to let the contractor construct the dam core out to this native sandy clay. Its moisture content and consistency were satisfactory to allow it to pack properly. In fact the quantity of material was sufficient to build over 50% of the dam (including the core) and also line the upper portion of the lagoon (i.e. the sandy soils) 12 inches thick. At the end of the project approximately 80 truck loads of good quality clay was hauled to the site and an additional 12 inch clay liner installed over the lower 70 percent of the lagoon. Upon completion, all interior surfaces had some degree of compacted clay covering. The natural clay combined with the hauled in clay should provide an impermeable barrier to vertical effluent migration. Clay liner depths on the upper W� 4„ �s 30 percent of the lagoon were made around 12 inches thick. All clay surfaces were compacted with a sheeps foot roller. No synthetic liner was used as had been projected. 6. Volume Calculations. All As -Built lagoon volumes calculated for the Ed Johnson Farm used on -site topographic measurements which compares the empty lagoon with the full lagoon. Maximum or full volume would be full to the overflow level. The computer technique used for these comparisons is called L.I. Contour V+, Version 5.0, developed by A.B. Consulting Co. Inc., Lincoln NE. Great care was used in developing the contour maps for comparisons, however any such measurements and calculations have some margin for error. The engineer has verified the L.I. Contour V+ program with known field data and believes it to be a very accurate approximation technique for pond volumes. 7. Design Treatment Volume. The design treatment volume (sometimes called Minimum Design Volume) is the minimum volume of wastewater needed to maintain optimum conditions for bacterial growth. This volume will likely require several months to obtain once filling begins. The owner should be careful to add water to the lagoon until one third to one half of the design treatment volume is achieved before adding swine manure. The operator should always strive to maintain a liquid depth of at least 6 feet to control excessive odors. Mr. Johnson is using well water to initially charge his lagoon. From PHASE 1 design guidelines the engineer is restating below the design treatment volume needed. Design Treatment Volume: Practical design range = 800,000 to 900,000 gallons The water level (minimum design volume) in this lagoon may vary slightly depending on wastewater. productions and irrigation schedules. At a 900,000 gallon volume the estimated depth of liquid in the Ed Johnson lagoon would be approximately 12.5 feet. This 9000,000 gallon volume includes roughly 40,000 gallons for sludge accumulation. However sludge accumulation was assumed zero. 8. Six Month Wastewater And Rainfall Storage -- Wastewater will normally be pulled off of the top of the lagoon and recycled to the confinement buildings for re -use or spray irrigated. However there will be times when irrigation can not occur and liquids will accumulate, especially during cold wet weather. The original design for the Johnson Farm called for six months of storage of liquids. The six month storage volume includes excess �i 3 wastes produced by the animals, spillage or wasted water, clean-up water, and excess rainfall (less evaporation) directly into the lagoon. This does not include rainfall run-off water from outside the lagoon since that will be diverted by earthen embankments and grass water ways. Six Month Storage Needed: 430,848 gallons The six month storage should add approximately 2 to 2.5 feet of additional water to the lagoon. Thus, the maximum depth of the water accounting for both design treatment volume and six month storage would be roughly 15 feet. In practical terms, the following are guidelines for irrigation based on depth only (crop demand and weather not considered). STOP IRRIGATION AT AROUND 12 FEET OF TOTAL DEPTH. START IRRIGATION BEFORE 15 FEET OF TOTAL DEPTH. 9. Severe Storm Storage. At any time in North Carolina there can occur a severe rain producing storm which can deposit considerable amounts of water quickly. This fact has been considered. The standard storm surge allowed in lagoon design is the 25 year - 24 hour rainfall event. For conservative reasons the engineer chose to use 6.5 inches as a design number, which is greater than the 25 year 24 hour rainfall for Greensboro, N. C. The design engineer only considered the rainfall failing within the interior of the lagoon. There Should Be No Surface Run-off From Surrounding Areas Allowed To Enter The Lagoon. All Run -Off At The Ed Johnson Farm Has Been Diverted Around The Lagoon Via Earthen Embankments. A 5% safety factor has been added to the storm storage to account for a small amount of lagoon rim "run-in". The 25 year - 24 hour storm volume for the Ed Johnson Farm was calculated to be' approximately: Severe Stone Volume: 110,779 gallons 10. Freeboard. Freeboard is the extra depth added to a lagoon for safety against an embankment overflow or dam washout. This extra depth is a safety measure and prevents water from spilling over the dam, resulting in dam erosion and complete or partial failure. This was a selected value at the Johnson Farm. Lagoon Freeboard: 9 foot. 4. ANN. 11. Emergency Spillways And Overflow Protection. The discharge or overflow of swine effluent to the surface waters of N.C. is prohibited. However, in the unlikely event the water level inside a lagoon should exceed the maximum high water level it should have a predetermined path of overflow in order to safeguard the dam. The engineer decided to use a 25 year -1 hour storm for emergency spillway design at the Johnson Farm. Weather data for Greensboro, N. C. suggests rainfall during this storm event at: 25 year -1 hour storm = 2.74 inches Average overflow calculated to be: 1.74 cu.ft.lsec. -(cfs) The emergency overflow elevation at the Johnson Farm was measured and was found to be at the 82.3 foot contour. While some minor shaping still needed to be conducted, the as -built overflow should be suitable. Final shaping should be conducted -within the next 3 months. See Exhibit 5A for more details. 12. Dam Construction. The lagoon dam was constructed with a reasonably good soil material with a fairly high clay content. Its construction was observed by the engineer as construction was taking place. Recommendations found in PHASE I can be viewed to see original construction considerations. The following are as -built details. 1. Maximum Height, Top of Dam to Outside Toe - Before Settling 2.

The lagoon system at Ed Johnson's Farm is mostly complete as of this PHASE II report. The contents of this report are included herein to describe the lagoon and then compare these numbers to the design parameters in PHASE 1. For brevity reasons certain portions of this report list average values or rounded numbers when exact values are not appropriate or are of very small percentages. The engineer feels as though the lagoon structures as built will function properly as anaerobic treatment structures for the swine effluent at the Ed Johnson Farm as long as the system is maintained and the farmer agitates and irrigates the effluent on a regular basis. 2. The potential for bare soils to erode at this farm is high. This will require the farmer to repair erosion scars during the course of filling the lagoon. It is very important to repair any erosion on the dam and side walls as soon as it is observed. Grass should be planted Immediately! 3. The engineer wishes to point out that certain construction items are yet to be completed or are almost complete, e.g. grass planting, finished shaping of overflow, etc. These Items must be done to have a satisfactory lagoon system. Sediment and erosion control structures and practices must be maintained as long as there is the potential for erosion. This includes the planting and maintaining of grass. The farmer will be continually responsible for maintaining all parts of this system and completing the work as promised to the engineer. 4. The owner of this lagoon system shall be obligated to install the system according to the above specifications. However the engineer realizes the on - site conditions may cause some variations in as already mentioned. As long as the changes are minor and improve the system and do not change the flow or intent of the design, the changes can be made by the owner. grand name items mentioned in this document are given for example only and may be changed as long as the function and quality are not compromised. 5. The engineer takes no responsibility for changes made to the system before, during, or after construction without his knowledge. Nor does the engineer take any responsibility for human losses or property damages which should •-' i occur due to poor workmanship, improper use of machinery, unknown _ conditions above or below ground level, legal problems with boundary lines or easements, acts of Nature, or "short-cuts" the owner may take in system construction or operation. 6. The engineer has made a concerted effort to observe the lagoons being constructed at different stages. However, as with most existing systems there are components of the system that are not visible and were not observed under construction. Therefore it is necessary to assume certain things that are reasonable for such systems or take the information given by owners, contractors, etc. Information given to the engineer by others and used in these specifications shall be taken as truth if it can not be verified otherwise. END OF PHASE II SPECIFICATIONS The preceding specifications and comments have been reviewed by the undersigned professional engineer and are believed to be complete within the context of the scope of this project. The lagoon is ready for use, however the engineer acknowledges more work is scheduled as documented herein and in correspondence to the owner. Preceding pages reviewed by Engineer: 1 through 8.

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 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 sage 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 exchanges 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 surFdce 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 faodity. 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 21LO217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

EXHIBIT A-8 *WASTE UTILIZATION Pup 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 3-93 -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 pending should occur in order to control odor or flies. S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. Pages 8 EXHIBIT A-9 WASTE UTILIZATION BB� RFQ _RED 8 LCIFICAT19HO 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 inton water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 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. Pages 9 EXHIBIT A-10 WASTE UTILIZATION 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 then 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 requlations. ;:, ,, Page: 10 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN Phone Numbers DWQ: 91OL486-1541 Emergency Management System: M SWCD: 91RM2-2700 MRCS: 91OL572-2700 This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off 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 posted in an accessible location for all employees at the facility. The following arc some action items you should take. 1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be poss'ble. Suggested responses to some possible problem are listed below. A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are: a. Add soil to Bern, to increase elevation of dam b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate. c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately. d. Call a pumping contractor. e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon. B. Runoff from waste application field -actions include: a. Immediately stop waste application. b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste. c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff. d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoflr e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred. C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action include: a. Stop recycle pump. b. Stop irrigation pump. c. Close valves to eliminate farther discharge. d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. D. Leakage from flush systems, houses, solids separators -action include: a. Stop recycle pump. b. Stop irrigation pump. c. Make sure no siphon occurs. d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems or solid separators, e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. 0 1 0 E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to flowing leaks -possible action: a. Dig a small sump or ditch away from the embankment to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump and pump back to lagoon. b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type sod. c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon bottom as soon as possible. 1. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages. a. Did the waste reach any surface waters? b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration? c. Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kill, or property damage? d. Did the spill leave the property? e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters? £ Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters? g. Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off of the property)? h. How much reached surface waters? 2. Contact appropriate agencies. a. During normal business hours, call your DWQ(Division of Water Quality) regional office: Phone - 910/486-1541. After hours, emegency number: 919-733-3942. Your phone call should include your name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident from item 2 above the exact location of the facility, the location or direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions. The corrective measures that have been under taken, and the seriousness of the situation. b, If spill leaves property or enters surface waters, call local EMS phone number - 911. c. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department. d. Contact CES, phone number 910/576-6011 , local SWCD office phone number 9101572-2700,and local NRCS office for advice/technical assistance phone number - 910/572-2700. 3.

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 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 sage 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, Ieaching potentials, cation exchanges capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally, waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management iacdity. 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.

EXHIBIT A-8 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS x. 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 3-93.-Filter Strip) S. 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. -S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.. 9.' Animal waste shall be applied on actively -growing crops in such �k. 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. Page: a EXHIBIT A-9 WASTE UTILIZATION 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 inton water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 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. Page: 9 EXHIBIT A-10 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRIM SPECIFICATIONS t _ . 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 then 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.

This operation contains 4 buildings with a capacity of 7680 animals. The annual plant available nitrogen (PAN) produced by this operation will be 3686 pounds. This system is designed to effectively wet 14.1 acres of land. As usual, more, land will be receiving water but is not counted as total "wetted acres". This system contains 1800 LF of 4 inch PVC (SDR 26) with 4 hydrants. There are 6 separate zones from these hydrants. Operator should notice the ring size and arc change at Zone 4. Care should be taken when starting the pump unit to allow all lines to fill slowly so as to allow the air to escape from the lines. After this process, the motor rpm's should be slowly increased to obtain• the desired system pressure. Failure to allow the entrapped air to escape before increasing the motor speed may cause damage to the system. Shut down procedures should be the reverse of start-up. The operator should slowly decrease the motor speed to idle and then shut it off. All regular and seasonal maintenance should be performed according to manufacturer's recommendations. Pumps and travelers should be drained prior to freezing temperatures. 04-Dec-97 IRRIGATION SYSTEM DESIGNER Name: ' M. Floyd Adams Company: M. Floyd Adams, P.E. Address: P.O.

In ef- fect, the thrust block transfers the load from the pipe to a wider load bearing surface. Thrust Mocks are required where fittings are used to change the direction (i.e., at all ties, elbows, wyes, .:aps, valves, hydrants and reducers) of the pipeline. The thrust backing must be formed against a solid trench wall and these fitting areas must be excavated by hand because mechanical equipment will damage the bearing surface of the trench wall. The size and type of thrust block depends on pipe size, Ilne pressure, type of fitting, degree of bend and type of soil. In most cases, the size and type of thrust block will be determined by the engineer. Thrust block size may be calculated by the procedures shown: STEP 1. Multiply the pipe pressure by the appropriate value shown in the following table to get pounds thrust per psi working pressure. .Pipe Line Dead End or Tee 900 Elbow 45"' Elbow 22'/z ° Elbow 1 f/2 " 2.94 4.16 2.25 1.15 2 4.56 6.45 3.50 1.78- 21/2 " 6.65 9.40 5.10 2.60 3 9.80 13.9 7.51 3.82 31/2 " 12.8. 18.1 9.81 4.99 4 to 16.2 23.0 12.4 6.31 5 " 24.7 35.0 18.9 9.63 6 of 34.8 49.2. 26.7 13.6 8 " 59.0 83.5 45.2 23.0 10 to 91.5 130.0 70.0 35.8 - 12 of 1 129.0 182.0 98.5 1 50.3 TEP 2.

System Calibration Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular, pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter. You s-zrjuld be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain of 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.

Introduction The Ed Johnson Farm is a new swine farm in the southeastern part of Montgomery County N. C. The farm is located in an agricultural/rural setting well off of the paved road. As of this document date construction on one or more of the housing units is finished or is close to completion. The lagoon has been constructed. The farm is a pig nursery operation and has the capacity of 3,840 head in 4 confinement houses. Swine effluent will be stored in a lagoon and be recycled into the houses to recharge the waste removal systems. On occasion lagoon effluent will be pumped from the lagoon and land applied via a spray irrigation system. The effluent applied to farm grown crops will act as a commercial fertilizer substitute. PHASE II (this report) contains as -built information on the lagoon structure, dam construction, and general as built characteristics. Usually this section is prepared after all lagoon construction is complete and volumes and or sizes can be measured. The engineer has tried to weigh all factors in accordance with importance while construction was taking place on this lagoon and keep the final construction as close to the original plans as practical. 2. General Site Information And Lagoon Location The physical location of the farm is in the southeastern part of Montgomery' County, off State Road # 1003, approximately 3 miles north of Windblow, N. C. The nearest stream is Naked Creek and it is located approximately 1,000 feet from the proposed lagoon site. Exhibits 1, 2, and 3 (PHASE I document) show various views of the property location As the site work was taking place it was not possible to make the lagoon shape exactly like the original design due to the first grading contractor's equipment limitations. However it was possible to make the lagoon very close to the target shape once a new contractor took over the project. Correct volumes to meet design guidelines for treatment were obtained. The position of the lagoon on the property was as described in PHASE I. 3. Review Of General Farm Parameters. 1. Type of facility: Nursery operation 2. Number of hogs: 3,840 head. 3. Average animal weight assumed: 30 pounds. 4. . Approximate full volume of lagoon in gallons (cubic feet) - estimated. 1,438,934 (7,123) 5. Total number of acres at the farm. 210 +1- acres 6. Number of acres in pond and containment houses (approximately). 3 acres 7. Housing: 4 Units @ 960 head each 8. Type of Waste Treatment Anaerobic lagoon 4. Lagoon Shape. The treatment lagoon was originally designed to be a rectangular surface with a flat bottom. The first grading contractor's equipment was not sufficient to build the lagoon in the designed shape. A new and different contractor completed the lagoon. Overall the final lagoon resembled the initial design. The final shape was steeper on the inside and had rounded comers with the bottom almost flat and closer to a rectangle. (See Exhibit 5A For Topographic Details). 5. Soils. When deep excavations were taking place on the lagoon a considerable amount of clay and sandy clay was found below the sandy upper soils. This material started around 8 to 9 feet deep (below original grade). While this sandy clay material was not ideal for use as a lagoon liner it was far better than that found during the, first soils investigation. This material was estimated to be between 8 and 9 feet thick as it lay. The engineer decided to let the contractor construct the dam core out to this native sandy clay. Its moisture content and consistency were satisfactory to allow it to pack properly. In fact the quantity of material was sufficient to build over 50% of the dam (including the core) and also line the upper portion of the lagoon (i.e. the sandy soils)12 inches thick. At the end of the project approximately 80 truck loads of good quality clay was hauled to the site and an additional 12 inch clay liner installed over the lower 70 percent of the lagoon. Upon completion, all interior surfaces had some degree of compacted clay covering. The natural clay combined with the hauled in clay should provide an impermeable barrier to vertical effluent migration. Clay liner depths on the upper �14N' 30 percent of the lagoon were made around 12 inches thick. All clay surfaces zr. were compacted with a sheeps foot roller. No synthetic liner was used as had ' been projected. 6. Volume Calculations. All As -Built lagoon volumes calculated for the Ed Johnson Farm used on -site topographic measurements which compares the empty lagoon with the full lagoon. Maximum or full volume would be full to the overflow level. The computer technique used for these comparisons is called L.I. Contour V+, Version 5.0, developed by A.B. Consulting Co. Inc., Lincoln NE. Great care was used in developing the contour maps for comparisons, however any such measurements and calculations have some margin for error. The engineer has verged the L.I. Contour V+ program with known field data and believes it to be a very accurate approximation technique for pond volumes. 7. Design Treatment Volume. The design treatment volume (sometimes called Minimum Design Volume) is the minimum volume of wastewater needed to maintain optimum conditions for bacterial growth. This volume will likely require several months to obtain once filling begins. The owner should be careful to add water to the lagoon until one third to one half of the design treatment volume is achieved before adding swine manure. The operator should always strive to maintain a liquid depth of at least 6 feet to control excessive odors. Mr. Johnson is using well water to initially charge his lagoon. From PHASE I design guidelines the engineer is restating below the design treatment volume needed. Design Treatment Volume: Practical design range cc 800,000 to 900,000 gallons The water level (minimum design volume) in this lagoon may vary slightly, depending on wastewater. productions and irrigation schedules. At a 900,000 gallon volume the estimated depth of liquid in the Ed Johnson lagoon would be approximately 12.5 feet. This 9000,000 gallon volume includes roughly 40,000 gallons for sludge accumulation. However sludge accumulation was assumed zero. 8. Six Month Wastewater And Rainfall Storage -- - - Wastewater will normally be pulled off of the top of the lagoon and recycled to the confinement buildings for reuse or spray irrigated. However there will be >; times when irrigation can not occur and liquids will accumulate, especially during cold wet weather.. The original design for the Johnson Farm called for six �' , months of storage of liquids. The six month storage volume includes excess wastes produced by the animals, spillage or wasted water, clean-up water, and excess rainfall (less evaporation) directly into the lagoon. This does not include rainfall run-off water from outside the lagoon since that will be diverted by earthen embankments and grass waterways. Six Month Storage Needed: 430,848 gallons The six month storage should add approximately 2 to 2.5 feet of additional water to the lagoon. Thus, the maximum depth of the water accounting for both design treatment volume and six month storage would be roughly 15 feet. In practical terms, the following are guidelines for irrigation based on depth only (crop demand and weather not considered). STOP IRRIGATION AT AROUND 12 FEET OF TOTAL DEPTH. START IRRIGATION BEFORE 15 FEET OF TOTAL DEPTH. 9. Severe Storm Storage. At any time in North Carolina there can occur a severe rain producing storm which can deposit considerable amounts of water quickly. This fact has been considered. The standard.storm surge allowed in lagoon design is the 25 year - 24 hour rainfall event. For conservative reasons the engineer chose to use 6.5 inches as a design number, which is greater than the 25 year 24 hour rainfall for Greensboro, N. C. The design engineer only considered the rainfall falling within the interior of the lagoon. There Should Be No Surface Run-0ff From Surrounding Areas Allowed To Enter The Lagoon. All Run -Off At The Ed Johnson Faun Has Been Diverted Around The Lagoon Via Earthen Embankments. A 5% safety factor has been added to the storm storage to account for a small amount of lagoon rim "run-in". The 25 year - 24 hour storm volume for the Ed Johnson Farm was calculated to be approximately: Severe Stone Volume: 110,779 gallons 10. Freeboard. Freeboard is the extra depth added to a lagoon for safety against an embankment overflow or dam washout. This extra depth is a safety measure and prevents water from spilling over the dam, resulting in dam erosion and complete or partial failure. This was a selected value at the Johnson Farm. Lagoon Freeboard: 1 foot. 4 11. Emergency Spillways And Overflow Protection. The discharge or overflow of swine effluent to the surface waters of N.C. Is prohibited. However, in the unlikely event the water level inside a lagoon should exceed the maximum high water level it should have a predetermined path of overflow in order to safeguard the dam. The engineer decided to use a 25 year -1 hour storm for emergency spillway design at the Johnson Farm. Weather data for Greensboro, N. C. suggests rainfall during this storm event at: 25 year -1 hour storm = 2.74 inches Average overflow calculated to be: 1.74 cu.ft.lsec. (cfs) The emergency overflow elevation at the Johnson Farm was measured and was found to be at the 82.3 foot contour. While some minor shaping still needed to be conducted, the as -built overflow should be suitable. Final shaping should be conducted within the next 3 months. See Exhibit 5A for more details. 12. Dam Construction. The lagoon dam was constructed with a reasonably good soil material with a - fairly high clay content. Its construction was observed by the engineer as construction was taking place. Recommendations found in PHASE I can be viewed to see original construction considerations. The following are as -built details. 1. Maximum Height, Top of Dam to Outside Toe - Before Settling 2. Top of Dam Contour 3. Inside Dam Slope 4. Outside Dam Slope 5. Dam and Dam Core Compaction 6.

The lagoon system at Ed Johnson's Fans is mostly complete as of this PHASE II report. The contents of this report are included herein to describe the lagoon and then compare these numbers to the design parameters in PHASE 1. For brevity reasons certain portions of this report list average values or rounded numbers when exact values are not appropriate or are of very small percentages. The engineer feels as though the lagoon structures as built will function properly as anaerobic treatment structures for the swine effluent at the Ed Johnson Farm as long as the system is maintained and the farmer agitates and irrigates the effluent on a regular basis. 2. The potential for bare soils to erode at this farm is high. This will require the farmer to repair erosion scars during the course of filling the lagoon. It is very important to repair any erosion on the dam and side walls as soon as it is observed. Grass should be planted Immediately! 3. The engineer wishes to point out that certain construction items are yet to be completed or are almost complete, e.g. grass planting, finished shaping of overflow, etc. These Items must be done to have a satisfactory lagoon system. Sediment and erosion control structures and practices must be maintained as long as there is the potential for erosion. This includes the planting and maintaining of grass. The farmer will be continually responsible for maintaining all parts of this system and completing the work as promised to the engineer. 4. The owner of this lagoon system shall be obligated to install the system according to the above specifications. However the engineer realizes the on - site conditions may cause some variations in as already mentioned. As long as the changes are minor and improve the system and do not change the flow or intent of the design, the changes can be made by the owner. Brand name items mentioned in this document are given for example only and may be changed as long as the function and quality are not compromised. 5. The engineer takes no responsibility for changes made to the system before, during, or after construction without his knowledge. Nor does the engineer take any responsibility for human losses or property damages which should occur due to poor workmanship, improper use of machinery, unknown conditions above or below ground level, legal problems with boundary lines or easements, acts of Nature, or "short-cuts" the owner may take in system construction or operation. - 6. The engineer has made a concerted effort to observe the lagoons being constructed at different stages. However, as with most existing systems there are components of the system that are not visible and were not observed under construction. Therefore it is necessary to assume certain things that are reasonable for such systems or take the information given by owners, contractors, etc. Information given to the engineer by others and used in these specifications shall be taken as truth if it can not be verified otherwise. END OF PHASE 11 SPECIFICATIONS The preceding specifications and comments have been reviewed by the undersigned professional engineer and are believed to be complete within the context of the scope of this project. The lagoon is ready for use, however the engineer acknowledges more work is scheduled as documented herein and in correspondence to the owner. Preceding pages reviewed by Engineer: 1 through 8.

In order to be deemed permitted by the Division 'of Environmental Management (DEK), the owner of any new or expanded animal waste management system constructed after January 1, 1994 which is designed to serve greater than or equal to the animal populations listed below is required to submit a signed certification form to DEH before the new animals are stocked on the farm.' Pasture operations are exempt from the requirement to be certified. 100 head of cattle 75 horses 2S0 Ovine 1,000 sheep 30,000 birds with a 3.iquid'xaste system The certification must be signed by the owner of the feedlot (and manager if different from the owner) and by any technical apecialist designated by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission pursuant to 15A NCAC 6F .0001-.0005. A technical specialist must verify by an on -sits inspection that all applicable 'sign and construction standards and specifications are met as installed and it all applicable operation. and maintenance standards and specifications can met. Although the actual number of animals at. the facility may vary from time to time, . the design capacity'of the waste handling system should be used to determine if a farm is subject to'the certification requirement. For example, it the waste system, for a feedlot is designed to handle 300 hogs but the average population will be 200 hogs, then the waste management system requires a certification. This certification is required by regulations governing animal waste management systems adopted by the Environmental Management Commission (EMC) on December 10, •1992 (Title 15A NCAC 2H .0217).

(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 grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilisation plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally sage 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 exchanges capacities, and available water holftg capacities. Normally, waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Your facility is designed for o v days of temporary storage and the, temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every_ months. In no instance should f� the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed elevation c +tV . 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. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN. REQUIRED SPECIFICATION 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long terms access to adequate laud on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide MRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. ISee FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.) 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 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 hooding. (See "Weather and CIimate in North Carolina" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN' REQUIRED SPECIFICATION (CONTEVUED) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur off -site or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. 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 on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips) 12. 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 wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided the application causes no 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. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATION (CONTINUED) 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hoar storm event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Name of Farm: Owner/Manager Agreement I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specification and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and storage system or construction of the new facility will require a new. certification to be submitted to the Division of Environment Management (DEW before the new animals are stocked. I (we) also understand that there must be no. discharge of animal waste from this system to surface waters of the state from a storm event less severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm. The approved plan will be filed on -site at the farm office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District and will be available for review by DEM upon request.

Notes About This Project: The following information relates to a specific site and situation where an anaerobic swine effluent lagoon is planned for construction. This document specifies certain design parameters associated with the farm in question but does not deal with the swine effluent inside the confinement housing or all long term lagoon maintenance parameters. Still, it does include a few helpful hints about construction and proper lagoon operation in order to minimize odors. When possible, this document follows the U. S. Soil Conversation Service (SCS) design criteria and is not meant to contradict standard SCS guidelines or the design criteria of other organizations. In case the reader is not familiar with the design and construction of anaerobic lagoons for waste treatment, he or she must realize that this document is not a comprehensive teaching manual. In fact no such document can take the place of the owner/operator's experience and desire to learn all there is to know about the operation and maintenance of swine facilities. Certain specifications and assumptions herein are explained in detail to introduce the reader to the design criteria and reasoning for the specifications chosen. All assumptions related to decision details are not presented in full explanation for brevity reasons. The design of an anaerobic lagoon is a dynamic process. This means that one design decision will affect the next decision, and that decision will affect the next, etc. Also, construction efforts may reveal certain soil conditions that slightly alter lagoon placement or construction criteria, or at least make them differ from those parameters presented in the preliminary design outline. Therefore, the reader should use the preliminary design document for guidance and for general standards more than for exact %o the inch" measurements. The construction contractor however should not go below the minimum recommendations when construction begins so as not to violate the intent of the recommendations. The engineer has tried to weigh all factors in accordance with importance. Parameters like manpower requirements, initial costs, economics of operations, and the individual's situation enter into the final design but may not be openly addressed in this report. Each swine facility operates differently and must be evaluated on its own merit and the owner/operator's willingness to maintain best management practices. This report will summarize any recent lagoon work and the plans for site stabilization. This package may contain one or two or three major parts or PHASES, each a stand alone document with a specific purpose. The PHASES will be called PHASE 1, PHASE II, and PHASE III. PHASE I contains details on the proposed lagoon construction before earth moving takes place. The PHASE I portion suggests design parameters, construction guidelines, try's to predict sizes and volumes of lagoons, suggests sediment and erosion control measures, and generally identifies the farm site and size. The PHASE I information may or may not appear with the word °draft° in the text, but should always be viewed as a pre -construction document. PHASE I information is subject to change depending on the discovered physical conditions once construction begins. Page 1 -- t Phase 1 January 10, 1995 PHASE II contains as -built information on the lagoon structure, dam construction, and general as built characteristics. Usually this section is prepared after all lagoon construction is complete and volumes and or sizes can be measured. Many times the final document from Environmental Engineering Services will only contain PHASES I and II. PHASE III if included in the final package contains information related to Waste Utilization. This Phase will contain soils information, cropping suggestions, and irrigation suggestions. Many times this information is provided by the local SCS or others and will not be provided by the project engineer. Information provided by Environmental Engineering Services will be labeled PHASE III, etc. Information provided by others will not be labeled as a PHASE but may be included as an Exhibit at the end of the package. 2. Introduction 2. A. Project Descriptlon The Ed Johnson Farm is a new farm in the southeastern part of Montgomery County N. C. The farm is located in an agricultural/rural setting well off of the paved road. In recent years the subject site has been covered with timber. The hog farm will be a pig nursery and contain 3,840 head in 4 confinement houses. The owner plans to use an under slat plugldrain waste removal system in the new houses. Swine effluent will be stored in a lagoon and be recycled into the houses to recharge the waste removal systems. On occasion lagoon effluent will be pumped from the lagoon and land applied via a spray irrigation system. The effluent applied to farm grown crops will act as a commercial fertilizer substitute. Specifications contained in this report will relate to the PHASES mentioned above. The reader should look for specific information under the appropriate PHASE heading. Throughout this document (all PHASES) there will be information and suggestions providing helpful hints on odor control and general long term maintenance. 2. B. General Site Information And Lagoon Location The physical location of the farm is in the southeastern part of Montgomery County, off State Road # 1003, approximately 3 miles north of Windblow. The nearest stream is Naked Creek and it is located approximately 1,000 feet from the proposed lagoon site. Exhibits 1, 2, and 3 show various views of the property location The farm property is bordered by mostly wooded land or former farm land with some residential dwellings scattered around the immediate community. The swine houses and lagoon are bordered by forest There are no occupied dwellings within 1,000 feet of this planned lagoon according to aerial photographs and approximate on -site measurements. The lagoon site is about 3,500 feet from SR.# 1003 at its closest point. Page 2 Phase 1 January 10, 1995 r,I ` } 2. C. Topography And Drainage I In general, the topography at and around the Ed Johnson Farm consists of rolling hills with all of i the drainage from the site eventually going to Naked Creek. A USGS topo map of the area can be seen as Exhibit 2 so the reviewer can get an overall view of the site. The USGS topographic map containing this information is the Norman Quadrangle map. Coordinates are approximately Longitude 79 degrees, 42 minutes, 10 seconds; Latitude 35 degrees,12 minutes,1 seconds. The slopes near the lagoon construction site before construction are fairly uniform, between 5 and 10 percent. In general rainfall run-off will go from the confinement housing toward the lagoon area. It shall be necessary to build a diversion dam or earthen embankment on the up slope side of the lagoon to intercept run-off water so this water is diverted around the lagoons. This aspect is discussed in more detail later. The lagoon's earthen sides should not be impacted by 100 year flooding. A more detailed map of the original topography at the proposed lagoon construction site can be seen as Exhibit 4. Given this topographic information it is desirable to fit the proposed lagoon into the natural lay of the land. More will be said later about the lagoon's construction. 3. PHASE 1. Preliminary Design Guidelines And Specifications 3. A. Construction Site Solis In order to safeguard groundwater supplies, swine effluent lagoons should be installed in the most impervious soil practical. Areas of questionable soil types are typically lined with 12 to 24 inches of clay to prevent seepage from the lagoon. While there is no universally accepted standard for earthen lagoon liner permeability at swine production facilities, it is desirable (if not essential) to have a clay liner as the interior surface of the lagoon whenever possible. Fine textured soils with high clay contents are highly preferred over course textured soils (sands) in terms of their seepage retardance. Studies have shown that over time elevated sodium levels, solids build-up, and biological activity inside a swine lagoon will help lower the permeability of the native soil liner considerably. Man-made liners are acceptable if they are not cost prohibitive. Observation pits were installed at several places around the site and recorded by the U. S. Soil Conservation Service (SCS). These holes were dug by a rubber fire back -hoe. A log of these observation pits and SCS comments can be seen on Exhibit 7. The purpose of these pits were to identify below grade conditions and soil compositions in and around the proposed farm. Based on preliminary soils findings and in general terms, most of the soil at this site is of a sandy nature and is not suitable for a liner. Some clay soil was found at lower depths in a few holes but overall the soils would seem to have a relatively high permeability and would be unsuitable for a lagoon liner. Native soils should be acceptable however for dam and dam core construction. The contractor shall utilize the best suited materials for the interior of the lagoon after dam construction. In general he should strive to utilize the soils with the highest clay content and containing minimal amounts of gravel, rocks, or sand. Preliminary findings would indicate that this lagoon must have a hauled in clay liner or a synthetic liner installed. Page 3 phase 1 1January 10, 1995 E fret it be known that the project engineer did not categorize or identify the soils encountered by the SCS. However, this information was considered when looking at lagoon placement. The SCS soils information used by the lagoon design engineer was as presented by the SCS without further interpretation or classification. The reader can review this information for him/herself as presented in Exhibit 7. The contractor shall attempt to utilize the highest clay content soils whenever possible for dam and dam core construction. These soils should be as rock and gravel free as possible. Should rock outcropping, gravel beds, or sandy zones be encountered during lagoon construction and such areas exposed to swine effluent by their position below the normal wastewater liquid level, the contractor shall strive to cover these areas with a minimum of 12 inches of good rock free clay and compact the clay with earth moving equipment. Where lagoon water is deepest (> 13 feet) there should be installed at least 24 inches of clay liner. 8entonite clay may be used as a soil additive should the need arise. The engineer or soil scientist should make recommendations about soil additives. Twelve inches of clay must be applied (minimum) on soils classified as SP, SW, GP, and GW. A rubber tire back -hoe dug holes around the site to depths of 4 to 8 feet. The soils at this particular site did not vary much across the site in terms of consistency and depth, and consisted of sandy and sandy clay soils. This early soils investigation showed that good clay was not available at the depths excavated. Deeper excavations (later in the project) proved there may be enough suitable clay soil for dam core and dam construction. Any soils information presented above, if not taken from the enclosed SCS Exhibit(s) are being presented for background information only. The engineer does not imply that he is a qualified soil scientist or derived the soil classifications independently of the SCS reports. 3. B. Groundwater And Surface Waters Observation holes or pits were placed in the general area of the proposed lagoon construction sites as mentioned above. No significant ground water was reported as being found in any of these pits. Subsequent earth excavation did not show subsurface water problems. The general site or location of the proposed lagoon(s) can be seen in Exhibits 4 and 5. Up -slope from the lagoon shall be diversion ditches conveying rainfall run-off around the lagoon(s) where practical. Wet weather drainage routes across the candidate lagoon site were not evident, there were no springs, ponds, or flowing creeks observed within this proposed site. Vegetation would suggest no wet lands or saturated areas within this proposed lagoon construction area. Sediment and erosion control measures will be discussed later in this package. 3. C. Existing Vegetative Cover And Disturbed Area The local area proposed for new lagoon construction should be cleared of trees and brush, all vegetation removed for lagoon construction and the top soil stored for later cover. As a general rule, large trees and shrubs should be cleared within 30 feet on all sides of the lagoon so vehicles and machinery can be driven along the lagoon edges and so leaves and roots do not disrupt lagoon performance. On this project the entire lagoon construction effort will likely disturb 2 to 3 Page 4 Phase 1 January 10, 1995 acres of land. Cleared trees and brush shall be placed in wind -rows perpendicular to the slope and down slope from the soil disturbance areas in order to assist in sediment and erosion control. 3. D. Buildings And Structures There are no existing buildings or structures inside the proposed lagoon construction site. There are no known utilities above or below grade within the proposed construction site. New animal waste treatment lagoons should be located as far as possible from residences, places of business, or places of public gathering but in no case closer than 750 feet from same. The farm meets this criteria. There are no water wells within 100 feet of this proposed lagoon site and none are planed to be installed closer than 100 feet. Wells are recommended to be at least 300 feet from the lagoon when possible. No future building or improvements are planed down slope from the lagoon. The lagoon is at least 100 feet from the property boundary. 3. E. Adjacent Property Near The Proposed Construction Site As mentioned above, the farm under study has been used for agriculture and is in a rural setting. Exhibits 2 and 3 show some property features. The following is a general description of the land adjoining or near the proposed lagoon site. All Sides -- Wooded area except what has been cleared for future pasture land. There are no dwellings, structures, roads, or bridges between the proposed lagoon site and the nearest creek or branch. No towns or munlcipalities are known to get their water from nearby streams which would be impacted immediately by a dam breach. From a'structures and environmental standpoint, the engineer thinks this lagoon should be classified as low hazard. 4. Lagoon Design Parameters And Details (Proposed) 4. A. General Farm Parameters I.

Type of Treatment Certain forms of liquid waste treatment lagoons have been used for hundreds of years. With the on -set of larger and more intensive farming operations over the last 30 years, the use of on -farm lagoons has increased as part of the overall waste management scheme. Simply put, waste Page 5 r.. Phasc 1 January 10, 1995 treatment lagoons are designed to both store and treat the wastes from many types of animal confinement operations (usually for wastes in a liquid or slung form). These lagoons rely on bacteria to decompose the organic matter in the wastewater into gases, liquids, and sludges or solids. In addition significant pathogen reduction is achieved by the process. Two types of lagoons that are sometimes used in wastewater treatment are aerobic and anaerobic lagoons. Both aerobic and anaerobic type lagoons are effective in treating animal wastes, however the most common type of lagoon in use for the treatment of swine effluent is the anaerobic type lagoon. An anaerobic lagoon system is being designed for the Johnson Farm. Further discussions within this report will be confined to the anaerobic lagoon design process. Anaerobic lagoons develop bacteria populations which thrive without the presence of oxygen. These lagoons usually contain considerably more volume than aerobic lagoons and are normally deeper. Anaerobic lagoons are well suited for high strength wastewaters such as swine manure. The anaerobic process decomposes more organic matter per unit volume than does the aerobic process and is a good method of pathogen reduction. Since anaerobic lagoons are not mechanically aerated they do not consume electrical power and are generally low maintenance, as compared to the aerobic lagoon. If properly constructed and maintained anaerobic lagoons offer very good effluent treatment and positive odor controls. Sudden changes in nutrient loadings or changes in atmospheric temperature can cause a disruption in the anaerobic microbial process, often resulting in periods of odorous gases being released. Upsets due to changes in weather for instance are normally short lived provided there has not been a severe bacteria population reduction. Anaerobic lagoons in warmer climates do not tend to suffer the severe seasonal problems that colder climates report. Lagoon design documents and research reports often give numbers related to the design process. These numbers vary depending on which publication is reviewed. One fact remains constant throughout literature; Farm Management Has As Much To Do With Odor Minimization As Does Proper Lagoon Design! However since teaching proper farm management (including proper waste management) is beyond the scope of this document, discussion on physical lagoon design criteria will be the emphasis presented below. The engineer has used design data accepted and used by the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service at NCSU for basic design parameters; as well as design data accepted and used by the U.S. SCS. 4. C. Lagoon Shape There is no one special shape required for the design of anaerobic lagoons. However due to construction ease most lagoons (especially in the coastal plain of North Carolina) are rectangular in overall shape with a trapezoidal cross section. Lagoons in the Piedmont are often less uniform in shape due to depth -to -rock. Fiat or nearly flat bottoms are also desirable but not a requirement. One will find many shapes of anaerobic lagoons functioning well. Lagoon volume Is a more Important criteria than Is shape. Very Shallow water depths are discouraged. For brevity reasons, all of the calculations associated with estimating lagoon volumes will not be presented in this document. However Important design values are presented below. Page 6 Phase 1 January 10, 1995 The primary lagoon at this site is being designed with a square surface and flat bottom. A synthetic liner is being recommended. It will have a trapezoidal cross section with an interior slope of 3:1 or steeper. Most good clay soils will allow side slopes in lagoon construction to be made 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 or less steep however there is some soil stability disadvantage to side slopes of 1:1, thus seldom is a 1:1 side slope used. The interior sides of this lagoon was chosen to be made 3:1 because of the selected contractor's earth moving equipment limitations. Outside slopes of earthen berms or dams should not exceed 3:1 so regular maintenance and mowing can be conducted. Outside slopes of 4:1 or greater are acceptable provided the height of the dam in reference to the toe is less than 15 feet. Dams above 15 feet require special permitting and must meet additional dam safety criteria. 4. D. Sludge Holding Capacity A common practice of the modern swine producer is to waste or irrigate sludge when land application events occur. This is usually done by first agitating the lagoon effluent to mix up the solids and the liquids. This practice helps prevent sludge accumulation on the lagoon floor. Sludge irrigation is a management decision and does not tend to greatly increase the amount of objectionable odors It done regularly and under the more desirable weather conditions. Mr. Johnson wishes to agitate his lagoon on occasion and irrigate the solids along with the liquid. Based on this decision to routinely irrigate solids the sludge accumulation for this design is considered almost zero. However approximately 5,300 cubic feet (39,638 gallons) of sludge was allowed for this design for safety purposes. 4. E. Design Treatment Volume The design treatment volume (sometimes called Minimum Design Volume) is the volume of wastewater needed to maintain optimum conditions for bacterial growth. This volume may require several months to obtain once filling begins. The owner should be careful to add water to the lagoon until one third to one half of the design treatment volume is achieved before adding swine manure. The operator should always strive to maintain a liquid depth of at least 6 feet to control excessive odors. Initial water addition to the lagoon can be from on -site water wells, creek water pumped into the lagoon or from intentionally diverted rainfall run-off. Mr. Johnson plans to use well water to initially charge his lagoon. There are some differences of opinion on the amount of volume necessary to achieve adequate odor control in anaerobic lagoons. Conventional practice says bigger is better, and there are several reported benefits to designing a large treatment volume. For instance, the extra water offers dilution to the swine manure at first, giving the operator a little more treatment buffer in the early year(s) of the lagoon's life. Concentrations of nutrients will eventually increase to a steady state in both extra large lagoons and adequately sized lagoons: Researchers at NCSU have conducted field work on hundreds of lagoons and seen many types of operations. The general consensus is that lagoon management makes more difference than size in minimiang lagoon odors, provided that the lagoon is not grossly undersized. Even lagoons of Page 7 Phase 1 January t0, 1995 very large size can produce abnormal amounts of odor if improperly managed. The U.S. Soil Conservation Service in North Carolina uses research data developed at NCSU for designing anerobic swine effluent lagoons. Through out this document the engineer chose to use design guidelines commonly accepted in North Carolina by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service. Most of _ this design criteria was obtained from published articles of researchers and extension specialists at North Carolina State University. Design Treatment Volume: Design Treatment Volume =1 cu. ftJlb. animal wt. 1 cu.ftJlb. x 30 Ibs.lanimal x 3,840 animals = 115,200 cu.ft. or 115,200 cu.ft. x 7.48 galJcu.ft. = 861,696 gallons Pracdcal design range = 800,000 to 900,000 gallons The water level (minimum design volume) in this lagoon will vary depending on wastewater productions and irrigation schedule. Water depths of at least 6 feet should be maintained under normal conditions, 4. F. Six Month Wastewater And Rainfall Storage Wastewater will most often be pulled off of the top of the primary treatment lagoon and recycled to the, confinement buildings for re -use. Water accumulation above the Design Treatment Volume will eventually be spray irrigated to crops. Naturally the farmer will not desire to irrigate every day or every week. Ukewise there will be time periods when the weather will not permit responsible irrigation. This requires there to be storage volume built into the lagoon(s) to give the farmer safety and flexibility in the irrigation routine. The time period for this part of the design can vary between three and six months. To provide that extra margin of safety six months storage will be used in the Johnson Farm lagoon design. The six month storage volume includes excess wastes produced by the animals, spillage or wasted water, clean-up water, and excess rainfall (less evaporation) directly into the lagoon. This does not include rainfall run-off water from outside the lagoon since that will be diverted by earthen embankments and grass water ways. Six Month Storage Needed: 0.5 cu.ftJlb. x 30 lbsJanimal x 3,840 animals = 57,600 cu.ft. or 57,600 cuff. x 7.48 gal.lcu.ft = 430,848 gallons The farmer may wish to install a pole inside the lagoon so the operator can tell at a glance the current water level and volume inside the lagoon. This measuring device should be well marked and be of a design which best serves the operators purpose. Once the lagoon reaches steady state, a familiar water mark around the sides of the lagoon will serve the same purpose. Proposed lagoon dimensions and volumes are shown in Exhibit 5. Page 8 Phase 1 January 10, 1995 4. G. Severe Storm Storage At any time in North Carolina there can occur a severe rain producing storm which can deposit considerable amounts of water quickly. This fact should be considered when designing a lagoon and allowances made to accommodate this extra water. . The standard storm surge allowed in lagoon design is the 25 year - 24 hour rainfall event. This storm event is historically different between the Mountains, Piedmont, and Coastal plain and can even vary between neighboring cities. Climatic data from the U.S. Weather Bureau was available to give the designer reasonably accurate information about such rainfall events. The 25 year - 24 hour storm for the Greensboro area is 5.84 inches. For conservative reasons the engineer chose to use 6.41 inches as a design number for Montgomery County. The design engineer is only considering the rainfall falling within the interior of the lagoon. There Should Be No Surface Run -Off From Surrounding Areas Allowed To Enter The Lagoon. All Run -Off Shall Be Diverted Around The Lagoon Via Earthen Embankments, Grass Water Ways, Or Similar Water Diversion Techniques. The 25 year - 24 hour storm volume for the Johnson Farm is calculated to be approximately: Primary Lagoon Severe Storm Volume Total lagoon acreage = Assumed at 0.63 acres. 6.41 inches x 0.63 acres = 4.04 ac-in or .34 ac-ft 0.34 ac-ft x 43,560 cu.ftJac-ft = 14,810 cu.ft. or 14,810 cu.ft. x 7.48 gallcu.ft.=110,779 gallons 4. H. Freeboard Freeboard is the extra depth added to a lagoon for safety against an embankment overflow or dam washout This extra depth is a safety measure and prevents water from spilling over the dam, resulting in dam erosion and complete or partial failure. This amount of added depth is usually selected to be 1 foot but can be 2 feet in some cases. Freeboard was selected to be 1 foot at the Johnson Farm. Primary Lagoon Freeboard:1 foot. 4. 1. Emergency Spillway Or Overflows If the lagoon effluent maximum level is located 3 feet or more above the natural grade outside of the lagoon, the lagoon shall be provided with an emergency overflow spillway. The discharge or overflow of swine effluent to the surface waters of N.C. is prohibited. However, in the unlikely event the water level inside a lagoon should exceed the maximum high water level it should have a predetermined path of overflow in order to safeguard the dam. This emergency spillway should be located on undisturbed, firm soil not easily eroded or on a very solid surface like bedrock, away from the lagoon dam if possible, or in a position where minimal dam height is found. Either overflow pipes or earthen overflows may also be used.. Page 9 Phase 1 January 10, 1995 The amount of water to be safely passed by an emergency overflow will depend on several factors and the degree of safety the designer requires. The emergency spillway should pass the overflow water without over -topping the embankments or dam. According to SCS guidelines (fable 4 - Minimum Spillway Design Storm ) the Johnson Farm lagoon spillway should be designed for a 10 year - 24 hour storm. The engineer feels that a shorter duration more intense storm would be a more conservative design, therefore the engineer decided to use a 25 year -1 hour storm for emergency spillway design. Weather data for Greensboro, N. C. suggests rainfall during this storm event at 25 year -1 hour storm = 2.74 inches Emergency Spillway Or Overflows Average flow calculates to be: 2.74 in./hr. x 0.63 acres x 3,631 cu. ft.lac: in. = 6,268 cu. ftJhr. 6,268 cu.ftlhour 13,600 secondsihour =1.74 cu.ftlsec. (cfs) The contractor may use a fiat overflow cut into a side of the lagoon or a pipe to convey the overflow. Earthen overflows shall have sufficient vegetation maintained to prevent scouring of the soil. Where earthen overflows are used the spillway shall have an outlet a minimum of 4 feet wide and level across the width no matter how small the lagoon structure is designed. Normally a wider earthen overflow will be required. The engineer used table 8.07d from the "Erosion And Sediment Control Planning And Design Manual', published by the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Land Quality Section to determine emergency overflow dimensions. Recommendations on width will appear in Exhibit 5. If the emergency overflow is earthen, a good grass cover shall be maintained along its length. The spillway should be designed so that any overflows would be conveyed well passed the lagoon construction area. A combination of grass, rock rip rap, etc. may be used for the control of erosion in the event of an emergency overflow for earthen overflows. KEEP IN MIND, THE EMERGENCY OVERFLOW SHOULD NEVER BE USED IF IT CAN BE AVOIDED. Based on information obtained in the manual titled "Erosion And Sediment Control Planning And Design Manual", published by the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Land Quality Section, the engineer has decided to use an earthen overflow far the lagoon. It is suggested the emergency overflow entrance for the lagoon overflow be 1 foot below the lowest point of any earthen embankments around the lagoon perimeter. The emergency overflow elevations should be verified with a transit after construction. 4. J. Lagoon Dam Considerations The lagoon dam shall be earthen. The constructed top of the Primary Treatment lagoon dam is designed to be roughly at the 84 foot contour. This dam shall be roughly 14 feet tall at its highest _ point measured to the outside toe. The dam height shall be made to allow for 2 to 5 percent settling. If a concerted effort is made to compact the soil within the dam, a 2 percent settling figure may be used. The dam top width shall be at least 10 feet wide. Final dam dimensions and elevations will depend on on -site parameters and constraints. Page 10 Phase 1 January 10, 1995 Z A dam core or key shall be installed along the center line of the dam along its longitudinal axis. This dam core shall extend up either side of the natural side slopes so as to form a barrier to water seepage under the dam and to prevent long term dam movement. The dam core shall be sufficiently wide to allow earth moving machinery tires or tracks to pack all areas of the fill by driving over the fill. A sheep's -foot roller or vibrating roller is recommended for packing the dam and any clay surfaces. It is expected the dam core will need to be a minimum of 10 feet wide, but this will depend on the packing technique. The core shaft be taken to a depth sufficient to reach a solid, low permeability clay base, but no less than 2 feet deep. The core should not be taken to a fractured rock base. The core shall be backfilled with a relatively impermeable clay materiai'of sufficient moisture content to pack well via earth moving machinery. Sufficient clay material may not be available on the Johnson Farm to provide this material. If good clay material is not available it shall be imported to the site. Dam core backfill material shall be free of boulders, roots, sod, frozen soil, brush, and other unsuitable material. The backfill material shall not contain rocks greater than 6 inches in diameter. Core fill shall be installed in layers S inches thick or less. Repeated passes with a sheep's -foot roller is recommended to compact the core and dam back fill material at each soil layer, but other earth moving machinery may be used if repeated passes are made over the entire dam core (plus the above grade dam structure) with loaded pans for compaction. The dam core shall be free of standing water when backfilling begins. The natural base on which the dam is to sit is recommended to have a slope 4:1 or less steep before construction starts. Natural grade can be used once grass and vegetation have been removed and if the site is not severely rocky, soft, wet, or steep. The natural grade shall be developed to remove all trees, shrubs, grasses, boulders, etc. and scarified before fill is added. This type activity will help assure a good bond between the first layer of fill material and native material. Moisture can be added to the native material if needed for a good bond. An effort shall be made to use uniform materials though out the fill. Alternating layers of dissimilar materials is discouraged. When dissimilar materials are used the most impermeable materials should be used at dam center and on up stream portions of fill. Eliminate voids during fill operations. The back slope of the dam shall not be steeper than 2.5:1. A 3:1 slope or 4:1 slope is recommended. The inside of the dam can have a slope of 2:1, 2.5:1, or 3:1, A 3:1 inside slope is recommended if the contractor can not make the slope any steeper. The front and back portions of the dam should have a combined ratio of at least 5 horizontal to 1 vertical.. Exhibit 5 shows more detail on the dam construction. Dam construction will be checked by the project engineer and SCS personnel if the SCS is available. The dam shall not be more than 15 feet tail, measured from the top of the dam to the outside toe, and will not require a permit from the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources (NCDEHNR) under the Dam Safety Act.

Page 12 Phase 1 January 10, 1995 5. Misc. Construction Considerations 1. Mr. Johnson, project engineer(s), SCS personnel, and construction crews will supervise all dam construction. This shall serve as a quality control measure, 2. The engineer recognizes the need to control erosion and sediment transport off -site thus a few suggestions are being included as part of this package to serve as minimal guidelines for sediment and erosion control measures. See Exhibits 4 and 8 for details. 5. A., General Sediment and Erosion Control Suggestions: 1. The purpose of sediment and erosion control measures is to confine sediment transport to the construction area. This means the contractor should construct physical barriers, obstacles, or structures to insure sediment and soil is retained on the construction site. This task includes repairs of disturbed soils, erosion scars, and damaged erosion control devices. Grass planting and maintenance are also part of standard erosion control measures. Suggestions and seeding recommendations below were taken in part from the "Erosion And Sediment Control planning And Design Manual", published by the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Land Quality Section. 2. Generally, the contractor should install sediment control traps and sediment fences where appropriate before or just after construction begins. Plant vegetation in all water conveying ditches as soon as possible. Roughen all sloped surfaces and stabilize as soon as possible with vegetation. 3. The contractor and/or engineers and/or surveyor should mark, flag, or designate the construction areas so all understand the intended lagoon placement. 4. The up slope side of the lagoon shall have a diversion embankment across its length to convey rainfall run,off to the sides or around the lagoon. Rainfall run-off from the buildings should be diverted away from the lagoon area if possible. A few suggested erosion control devices are shown in Exhibits 4 and 8. 5. Small trees, brush, stumps, and limbs will be cleared from this site and pushed into wind- rows. These wind -rows shall be lined up down slope form the lagoon construction area. These wind -rows shall act as the primary sediment control structure at the Johnson Farm if sufficient brush and stumps are available. fi. Sediment removed from sediment control devices shall be stored in stable areas not subject to re-enter the sediment control devices or escape off of site. This applies to top soil stored or any temporary soil storage areas. Silt fencing should be installed on the down slope side of stock piled or stored soils and along the base of earthen embankments. 7. Gullies, ditches, moved stone, torn fence, or similar areas of erosion shall be given immediate attention and corrective action taken. Control devices that do not seem to be adequately preventing sediment transport shall be improved to stop soil transport, 8. Seeding Suggestions: There is no more Important function for stabilizing a construction site than to plant vegetation soon as possible after soil disturbance has ended. Sample and test soils for Page 13 Phase 1 January 10, 1995 liming and fertilizer suggestions. Send soil samples to the N.C. Department of Agriculture, Agronomic Division, Soil Testing Section, Blue Ridge Road, Raleigh, N.C. 27611. Sample containers can be obtained at the Montgomery County Cooperative Extension Service. Disturbed areas which are to waiting final grading should be seeded with temporary vegetation if they will be left idle for more than 30 days, or if they are subject to severe erosion. The contractor may wish to seed or re -seed disturbed or undisturbed land with Rye grass if construction will be taking place in cool weather (See Exhibit 9). Do not destroy existing grass if at all possible. Temporary Seeding Suggestions: Winter or Early Spring: Summer: Rye (grain), Applied @ 120lbslacre German Millet, lied @ 40lbslacre When final grading is complete, Permanent Seeding will be required. The contractor shall use best judgment as to the variety of grass to be planted at the site. A few recommended grass types are shown as Exhibits 10,11 and 12. Permanent Seeding Suggestions: Grass lined channels (Exhibit Tall Fescue @ 200 Iblacre (4-5 IbJsq. ft.) 10: Steep slopes Tall Fescue @ 100 Iblacre, plus Sericea Lespedeza @ Exhibit 11 : 30 IbsJacre, plus Kobe Les edeza @ 10 IbsJacre Less steep slopes Biend of Tall Fescue (90 %) plus improved Kentucky Exhibit 12 : 1 Bluegrass 10% 200 - 250 IbsJacre Note: * SERICEA LESPEDEZA SHOULD NOT BE PLANTED ON DAMS. Seeded areas shall be re -seeded if necessary to insure good stands of vegetation are developed and maintained. Fertilization and mulch shall be installed as necessary. Apply seed with a broadcast method, such as a cyclone seeder, drop spreader, drill (in some cases), etc. Hydro -seeding may be used but is not being specified. Rake over all sites to assure seed has been covered and lightly pack in place, Lightly water if water is available (only enough to moisten soil). 9. Mulch Suggestions: On steep slopes ( greater than 3:1) apply approximately 100 pounds of straw per 1000 square feet of surface. Cover straw with a netting or jute cover or use some other suitable adhesive material to hold straw in place, if asphalt is used apply at roughly a rate of 11 gallons per 1000 square feet of surface. On less steep slopes (less than 3:1) apply approximately 90 pounds of straw per 1000 square feet of surface. Cover straw with a netting or jute cover or use some other suitable adhesive material to hold straw in place. Mulch may not be needed on relatively flat surfaces. The grass lined channels are sometimes difficult to get stabilized because of the velocity of flowing water. Often water velocities exceeding 2 feet per second on bare soil channels can Page 14 Phase 1 January 10, 1995 cause erosion scars. In many cases, the previous recommendation is sufficient to get a cover established, however if not, use an excelsior mat (like Cudex Blanket) to line the channel and secure according to manufacturers recommendations. Seed all exposed areas and mulch as necessary. Make slopes of grass lined channels as gentle as possible. Use drop boxes if necessary to lessen steep slopes. 10. Silt fencing should be used on the down slope sides of disturbed areas, such as at the toe of the dam, earthen embankments, and at piles of stored soils if wind -rows are not present. Silt fencing should not be used as the only sediment control for large areas of soil disturbance or in grass waterways with potential for high velocity water streams. Hang silt fencing on wooden or metal posts well anchored into the soil. Do not allow sediment to flow under loose fitting silt fencing. Anchor the bottoms of slit fences in the soil and clean out small sumps or pools just in front of the fences to allow for sediment build-up. Liquid heads over 1.5 feet high will likely damage silt fencing. Exhibit 8 shows an example of silt fencing. 11. Maintain 15 feet (minimum) vegetative buffers between disturbed areas and property boundaries. 12. The contractor shall use good judgment and common sense to install sediment and erosion control measures where needed. The contractor's judgment will be of the up -most importance. 13. Grading shall take place on the minimum amount of land necessary to do a specific task. Work should be done in phases or sections if at all possible; sections stabilized and work started in another portion of the site. 14. Water drainage from the confinement housing construction area and from immediately up slope from the lagoon will be diverted in several directions. Diverting water away from the lagoon area is recommended. However if it is not possible to divert all water away from the lagoon area it may be necessary to use a grass water way to convey the run-off. The total watershed area just up slope from the lagoon (i.e. that might flow toward the lagoon site) is being approximated at 1 acre. Water from the housing construction site,will likely drain in , several different directions. For estimation purposes we will assume that 100 percent of this total run-off water will migrate toward the lagoon and need to be diverted around the lagoon. We will assume 75 percent of the water will migrate around one corner of the lagoon and proceed down the outside of the embankment It is this water conveyance that is of concern from a long term erosion stand point These are estimates only and are being supplied to offer some ideas to the contractor on permanent grass channel construction. • Water conveyance mechanism = Grass lined channel. Area contributing to flow =1 acre. • Storm considered =10 year -1 hour. • Calculated flow = 5.5 cubic feet per second (cfs). • Channel shape = Trapezoidal shape (uneven sides). • Channel side slopes = 4:1 (H:V) and 10:1 (H:V). • Channel bottom width =15 feet. Page 15 Phase 1 January 10, 1995 • Channel depth = very shallow < 1 foot (can be part of road). • Channel top width =17 feet. • Grass type = Fescue or Bermuda grass • Estimated water run-off velocity = 2.5 feet per second. • Erosion potential: On bare soil before cover = high • Erosion potential: On bare soil with mulch = medium to high • Erosion potential: On well established grass cover = low/medium • Slope: On contour should not exceed 4:100 (4 percent) 15. The grading contractor shall install the lagoon in such a manor that works in cooperation with existing topography and soil conditions. Questionable soils or rocks shall be addressed with the owner(s) and the engineer before construction continues. 16. Earthen bank slopes greater than 2:1 are discouraged unless absolutely necessary. Slopes steeper than 3:1 may be difficult to mow and maintain in the future. 17. Soils with high organic matter or frozen soils shall not be used as fill. 18. Grading shall take place on the minimum amount of land necessaryto do a specific task. Work should be done in phases or sections if at all possible; sections stabilized and work started in another portion of the site. 19. On fill slopes other than lagoon embankments leave the soil uncompacted if they are not subject to construction traffic. Remove only large roots, stumps, or rocks from the fill on these slopes or any debris that would interfere with planting or maintenance. 20, On steep slopes (more than 3:1) clean most debris, roots, stumps, etc. from the site. Incorporate soil test lime recommendations into the soil with a disk or tiller. Roughen surfaces on the contours. 21. On less steep slopes (less than 3:1) dean debris, roots, stumps, etc. from the site. Incorporate soil test lime recommendations into the soil with a disk or tiller. Roughen surfaces on the contours. 22. Where applicable, apply stored top soil back to final grade over disturbed soils. 23. Should rock outcroppings, gravel beds, or sand beds be encountered during lagoon construction and such areas exposed to stored lagoon liquids, the contractor shall remove at least one foot of the rock and proceed to cover these areas (refill) with a minimum of 12 inches of good rock free red day in 6 inch layers and compact each day layer with earth moving equipment (24 inches is required if problem soils exist where water depth will exceed 13 feet). Bentonite clay may be used as a soil additive should the need arise. The engineer or soil scientist should make recommendations about soil additives. Twelve inches of clay must be applied (min.) on soils classified as SP, SW, GP, and GW. 24. The Johnson Farm will need pads built on which the confinement houses will be constructed. These specifications do not include details on the pad construction except for some general guidelines. Pad packing and similar constructlon shall be up to the contractor building the Page 16 Phase 1 January 10, 1995 houses. However the pads shall be made high enough so gravity Row will occur when plugs are pulled inside the houses. 25. The engineer has made no effort to balance cuts and fills for this project. Soil removed from the lagoon can be used to construct pads. 26. The invert of the drain pipes shall extend into the lagoon. The inverts are recommended to fall within 2 feet below the earthen emergency overflow, These inverts may be changed since the controlling factor for this drainage is the water level inside the houses. A slope of greater than 0.25 percent is recommended for the drain pipes. 27. The lagoon design presented above should keep a permanent water level in the lagoon at or above the seasonably high water table for this area. The temporary storage volumes described would appear to be above the seasonably high water table. 6. General Lagoon Maintenance 1. After final grading and permanent vegetation is well established, maintain good covers with mowing and fertilizing. Annually collect soil samples for analysis and crop fertilizer and lime recommendations. Fertilize and lime native grasses around the site and keep existing ground cover in tact as much as possible. Maintain natural water ways and ditches. Plant new cover grasses as necessary. 2. Mow grass as desired and in accordance with accepted practices, especially around the lagoon area. Keep weeds and floating weed mats off of the lagoon. 3. Repair mulch and seed beds as necessary if areas of dead grass develop or erosion scars occur. 4. Use pesticides and herbicides only as a last resort to keep grass stands healthy. Use housekeeping techniques to control insects along with or instead of pesticides. 5. Use common sense and dose observations to prevent lagoon upsets. 6. No shrubs or bushes are planned at this time. New shrubs and trees should not be planted closer than 30 feet to the new lagoon and not on the lagoon dam. 7. Lagoon Management And Dam Inspections Once the lagoon is constructed and ready for filling, it is very important to first add water to the lagoon prior to adding swine manure. The owner should be careful to add water to the lagoon until g least one third of the lagoon design treatment volume is achieved before adding swine manure. The operator should always strive to maintain a liquid depth of at least 6 feet. Initial water addition to the lagoon shall be from water wells on the farm or from nearby creeks, but if storm water run-off can be easily added to the lagoon it may be added in place of well water. 2. Research literature suggests a pH of 7.0 to 8.0 be maintained in an anaerobic swine lagoon to obtain optimum treatment conditions and minimize odors. During lagoon start-up the acid forming bacteria will tend to populate faster then the methane forming bacteria and can lower the overall pH of the lagoon water. If this occurs, the ownerloperator should add hydrated Page 17 Phase 1 January 10, 1995 lime to the lagoon at a rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of water. The lime can be applied to the surface of the lagoon and mixed into the surface waters until a proper pH is obtained. Start adjusting the pH if the lagoon waters drop to or below a pH of 6.7. 3. It is desirable to add manure daily or everyother day in regular doses. This is preferred to slug loading the lagoon at irregular intervals or starving the microorganisms. 4. The only way to accurately estimate the volume of sludge in an anaerobic lagoon is to take measurements. This can be done by using a'sludge judge" or a variety of other measuring devices. Measure sludge accumulation at least one time every 2 years or more often if sludge is to be irrigated on a regular basis. Plan sludge removal events as desired by the farmer in accordance with the waste utilization plan, weather conditions, etc. 5. The lagoon sludge andlor wastewater can and should be tested to determine its nutrient content prior to land applications. Send effluent and sludge samples to the N. C. Department of Agriculture, Agronomic Division, Plant Analysis Laboratory, Raleigh, N.C. 27611. Plant or crop tissue samples can also be sent for regular analysis. Contact the local Cooperative Extension Service for additional details and phone numbers. 6. Keep grasses and vegetation out of the lagoon. Floating mats (not weed mats) are not likely to occur on swine lagoons. Such mats will not interfere with performance and can be left in place if present, Rubber gloves, plastic bags, and trash tend to accumulate in'lagoons and should be cleaned out regularly. 7. Take extreme care to select optimum conditions for spray irrigation of wastewater and sludge removal events. Careful planing will help minimize odors. Irrigate wastewater in dry warn weather if possible, preferably before 12 noon. 8. Lagoon water levels should be lowered before the on set of wet weather seasons and in accordance with on -farm crop needs. Leave plenty of room for heavy rainfalls or long wet seasons. 9. Avoid unnecessary agitation of the lagoon when not irrigating. When possible allow water to flow into the lagoon in a gentle fashion instead of splashing or cascading. Inlet piping can be placed below water surface as long as the water inside the houses will drain out fully. Extreme care should be used when filling the lagoon so as to avoid eroding a scar into the side of the lagoon and exposing undesirable soils. Use temporary flexible drainage pipe if necessary to transfer water to the bottom of the lagoon area. 10. Effluent piping from the confinement housing should be a minimum of 6 inches in diameter, however 8 inch piping may be used. Gravity flow piping should be sloped a minimum of 0.25 percent, but greater slopes would be better. It should be PVC piping with glue joints. Placement of the effluent piping terminal end is not extremely critical as long as sufficient flow occurs when the plugs are pulled. Many farmers desire to see flow from the end of pipes so pipe ends must terminate above the lagoon liquid surface. The terminal end of the piping often extends at or just under the water surface between the six month storage volume and the ,Design Treatment Volume level. If the pipe outlets are under water the pipes should be equipped with vapor traps and vents to prevent gasses from moving back toward the - confinement houses. Clean out ports should also be provided for each set of pipes. Page 18 Phase 1 January 10, 1995 11. Lagoon start-ups are best done in warm weather, particularly in the northern climates. This is less important in southern states. Careful consideration to pH and gradual start-up loadings can help off set cool weather start-ups. 12. Regularly inspect the lagoon dam and earthen embankments for settling or bulges, side slope stability, rodent damage, holds or pock marks, erosion scars, wave action damage, weeping, etc. Weeds should be mown at least one time per year and two times per year in heavy growth years. 13. Do not drive vehicles across emergency spillways. Keep the spillway clear of limbs, tall plant growth, logs, floating debris, sedimentation, etc. Watch for erosion and settling. Keep outlet channel in good vegetative cover and free from erosion. 14. Grazing on dams and embankments can cause problems and is not recommended. 15. Inspect all dams, earthen embankments, and emergency spillways at least two times per year or after every significant storm event. 16. Lagoons with floors below the seasonably high water table should maintain the water levels in the lagoon at or slightly above the seasonably high level. 17. Irrigation pump intakes should be a minimum of 18 inches below the lagoon liquid surfaces. The operator plans to occasionally agitate the sludge on the lagoon floor while irrigating in order to minimize sludge build-up. Exhibit 14 shows an example of an agitation device. Any irrigation pump and irrigation nozzles should be designed to pump solids. 18. Always maintain at least 1 foot of freeboard in lagoons with pump systems. If pump units are not owned by the farmer where he/she has control of the use of the pump then the farmer should maintain at least a 2 feet freeboard. 19. Emergency spillways should be kept clear of trash and debris. A good grass cover should be maintained at and down slope of emergency spillways. 20. Occasional upsets to an anaerobic lagoon can be expected, but the duration of such events should be very short Rapid or sudden temperature changes may cause some temporary changes in lagoon performance. Long term cold snaps or sudden hot periods can also cause upsets. The owner should strive to maintain a steady state condition in the lagoon at all times. Avoid the use of harsh or chlorinated chemicals in the confinement housing or in the lagoon. 21. New products are being developed to help minimize odors from swine operations. The owner/operator may utilize such products but these should only be utilized according to manufacture's recommendations and with caution. Many of these products do not reduce odors and are a waste of money. Rapid additions of enzymes or chemicals could cause microbial upsets. S. Safety Considerations 1. Fencing around the lagoon is not being recommended since the entrance to the farm can be controlled, however fencing should be used if needed. If the public or children will have access to the lagoon area the lagoon should have a stock tight fence installed around its Page 19 Phase 1 January 10, 1995 perimeter. Clear warning signs should be installed around the lagoon and be visible from all sides of the lagoon. Unauthorized persons should be kept away from the lagoon area. 2. The owners should install throw type safety devices within easy access from at least 2 places around the lagoon in the event of a drowning accident. Safety ropes should also be kept nearby. At least one person at the farm should have water rescue training. Any person using a boat on the lagoon must wear a life preserver and have a helper standing on shore in case of an emergency. All farm personnel should have first aid and safety training. 3. Animal manures produce gasses as their solids decompose. Agitation of lagoon solids or agitation of under slat liquids can cause large amounts of gasses to be released quickly. The owners should be aware that certain gasses are colorless and odorless and can cause asphyxiation and death under severe circumstances (usually in confined spaces and not as likely around a lagoon). It is doubdul gas concentrations would approach explosive levels, but the owners should be aware of such possibilities in confined spaces. Employees should be warned about such dangers and trained in dealing with such matters. The primary types of gases produced by animal manure are listed below: Hydrogen Sufflde• H25 : The most dangerous of gases produced, especially during manure agitation. This gas is corrosive to exposed metal parts. • Colorless with distinct odor. • Heavier than air, accumulates near the floor. o Recommended maximum safe gas concentrations for an 8 hour exposure to humans: 10 arts per million • Recommended control of as: Adequate ventilation. • Not readily explosive. Carbon Dioxide- CO2 : • Not particularly toxic in normal concentrations. Large quantities can be released during manure agitation. Not particularly corrosive. • Colorless and odorless. • Heavier than air, accumulates near the floor. • Recommended maximum safe gas concentrations for an 8 hour exposure to humans: 5,000 arts per million • Recommended control of as: Ade uate ventilation. • ' Not readily explosive. Page 20 1�7 Phase i January 10, 1995 Methane- CH4 : • The most explosive of gases produced, especially during manure agitation. Not extremely toxic at low levels. • Colorless and odorless. • Lighter than air, accumulates near the ceiling. • Recommended maximum safe gas concentrations far an 8 hour exposure to humans: 1,000 arts per million • Recommended control of as: Ade uate ventilation. • Explosive at concentrations of 50,000 to 150,000 parts per million or 5 -15 Ammonia- NH4 : • Not extremely toxic in lower concentrations. Irritating to the eyes and respiratory system. Can be released in large quantities especially during manure agitation. Can be corrosive to exposed metal parts. • Colorless with ve distinct odor. • Lighter than air, accumulates near the ceilin . • Recommended maximum safe gas concentrations for an 8 hour exposure to humans: 25 arts r million • Recommended control of as: Adequate ventilation. • Not readily explosive. 4. Workers should never go under floor slats unless accompanied by a helper and only if adequate ventilation is in place. Drain and clean under slat pits at least 8 hours prior to entering in addition to providing good ventilation. Workers entering confined spaces should follow OSHA guidelines for such activities. 5. The owner/operator may wish to purchase a portable hand held gas meter for questionable environmental situations. 6. Beware of spiders and snakes around swine facilities. 7. Workers should attend to cuts and wounds immediately with the proper first aid End of PHASE I Design Specifications. Total pages within this report is 21.

A waste treatment lagoon will be constructed to hold and treat the effluent prior to land application. on 3uly.7,1994 a soils investigation was done on the proposed site. A backhoe was used to excavate test.pits to determine site suitability for the construction of the proposed lagoon. The predominant soil materials encountered were SM, SP, (unified.,classifiaation). The SM is a silty sand,' the SP is poorly graded sand. A small amount of CL and SC was found. A total of'eight test pats were excavated as _a part of this investigation...Five pits were excavated on one pits and three pits"were excavated on another site :approximately 1000 feet from the first site. Conclusion Based on soil materials encountered in this investigation this site is not considered to be suitable for the construction of a lagoon unless a synthetic liner is used or suitable clay materials are hauled in from off site .

Introduction The Naked Creek II farm is a new swine farm in the southeastern part of Montgomery County N. C. The farm is located in an agricultural/rural setting well off of the paved road and is situated near Windblow, N.C. As of this document date construction of the housing units is complete. The lagoon has also been constructed. The farm is a pig nursery operation and has the capacity of 3,840 head in 4 confinement houses. It is very similar to the Naked Creek I nursery operation built on this same fans parcel. Swine effluent will be stored in a lagoon and be recycled into the houses to recharge the waste removal systems. On occasion lagoon effluent will be pumped from the lagoon and land applied via a spray irrigation system. The effluent applied to farm grown crops will act as a commercial fertilizer substitute. PHASE II (this report) contains as -built information on the lagoon structure, dam construction, and general as built characteristics. Usually this section is prepared after all lagoon construction is complete and volumes and or sizes can be measured. The engineer has tried to weigh all factors in accordance with importance while construction was taking place on this lagoon to 'keep the final construction as close to the original plans as practical. This document reflects the construction on the lagoon as of the date on the front cover. 2. General Site Information And Lagoon Location The physical location of the farm is in the southeastern part of Montgomery County, off State Road # 1003, approximately 3 miles north of Windblow, N.C. The nearest stream is Naked Creek and it is located approximately 800 feet from the proposed lagoon site. Exhibits 1, 2, and 3 (PHASE I document) show various views of the property location As the site work was taking place it was not possible to make the lagoon shape "exactly" like the original design due to soil limitations. However it was possible to make the lagoon close to the target shape and size. Correct volumes to meet design guidelines for treatment were achieved within the intent of the PHASE I plans even though the final lagoon volume was slightly less than planned. 2 r- Naked Creek II Farm Phase TT 3. Review Of General Farm Parameters. 1. Type of facility: Nursery operation 2. Number of hogs: 3,840 head. 3. Average animal weight assumed: 30, pounds. 4. Approx. full volume of lagoon in gallons (cubic feet) - estimated. 1,400,000 (187,166) 5. Total number of acres at the farm. 210 +1- acres 6. Number of acres in lagoon and containment houses (approximately). 3 acres 7. Housing: 4 Units @ 960 head each 8. Type of Waste Treatment Anaerobic lagoon 4. Lagoon Shape. The treatment lagoon was originally designed to have a square surface with a flat bottom. Overall the final lagoon resembled the initial design (See Exhibit 5A For As -Built Topographic Details). However, the final lagoon was slightly rectangular instead of square. The bottom was more or less flat. 5. Soils. When deep excavations were taking place on the lagoon, a fair amount of sandy clay was found below the sandy upper soils This was similar to what was found at the Naked Creek I Farm site but with less clay. This material started around 5 to 6 feet deep (below original grade). While this sandy clay material was not ideal for use as a lagoon liner it was fine to use as a synthetic liner underlay. The engineer decided to let the contractor construct the embankment core out to this native sandy clay. Its moisture content and consistency were satisfactory to allow it to pack properly. Upon completion, all interior surfaces had at least 12 inches of sandy clay liner. All clay surfaces were compacted with a cheeps foot roller. A one piece synthetic liner was used to cover the entire lagoon interior after the clay surface was smoothed and all objects removed. The liner used was a °Permalon" brand as specified in the PHASE I package. 6. Volume Calculations. (See PHASE I for reference) As -Built lagoon volumes calculated for the Naked Creek 11 Farm used on -site topographic measurements which compares the empty lagoon with the full lagoon. Maximum or full volume would be full to the overflow level. Normal full would be 1 foot below overflow. The computer technique used for these Naked Creek U Farm Phase comparisons is called L.I. Contour V+, Version 5.0, developed by A.B. Consulting Co. Inc., Lincoln NE. Great care was used in developing the contour maps for comparisons, however any such measurements and calculations have some margin for error. The engineer has verified the L.I. Contour V+ program with known field data and believes it to be a very accurate approximation technique for pond volumes. Standard volume calculations for trapezoidal structures were likewise consulted and used for verifications. While lagoon construction was taking place the contractor was unable to construct side slopes at 2:1 as planned. This resulted in the lagoon top dimensions to be larger than planned. In order to obtain a 1 piece synthetic liner and have it fit into the lagoon, the final lagoon volume was slightly reduced from design. ,The resuiting reductions are mentioned below. 6. A. Sludge Holding Capacity The engineer originally designed a 5 year sludge storage capacity into the lagoon. However, due to construction problems the engineer reduced the sludge holding volume in the lagoon to 3 years. This change should not affect the lagoons performance but will require a slightly higher degree of solids management. Once every 3 years Mr. Johnson plans to agitate his lagoon to stir up solids and irrigate those solids along with his liquid. This activity will be planned ahead of time and the irrigation adjusted to keep nutrient loadings in balance with crop needs. 5 Year Sludge Storage (Design): 194,743 gallons. 3 Year Sludge Storage (Actual): 133,000 gallons 6. B. Design Treatment Volume. The design treatment volume (sometimes called Minimum Design Volume) is the minimum volume of wastewater needed to maintain optimum conditions for bacterial growth. This volume will likely require several months to obtain once filling begins. The owner should be careful to add water to the lagoon until one third to one half of the design treatment volume is achieved before adding swine manure. The operator should always strive to maintain a liquid depth of at least 6 feet to control excessive odors. Mr. Johnson is using well water to initially charge his lagoon. The filling process is in progress as of this report. From PHASE I design guidelines the engineer is restating below the design treatment volume needed. H Naked Creek U Farm Phase , _. Design Treatment Volume: Practical design range = 800,000 to 900,000 gallons 6. C. Six Month Wastewater And Rainfall Storage. Wastewater will normally be pulled off of the top of the lagoon and recycled to the confinement buildings for reuse or to be spray irrigated. However there will be times when irrigation can not occur and liquids will accumulate, especially during cold wet weather. The original design for the Naked Creek it Farm called, for six months of excess liquid storage. The six month storage volume includes excess wastes produced by the animals, spillage or wasted water, clean-up water, and excess rainfall (less evaporation) directly into the lagoon. This does not include rainfall run-off water from outside the lagoon since that will be diverted by earthen embankments and grass water ways. Six Month Storage Volume (Design): 430,848 gallons Due to the construction problems mentioned above the engineer has shown a 5 month storage volume in this farm lagoon instead of the 6 months planned. This is being shown on top of the 3 year sludge storage volume and the design treatment volume. In reality this lagoon could easily contain 6 or 7 months of excess water production if sludge is kept removed and the lower range of the design treatment volume is used. The engineer is recommending that any waste utilization plan for this farm use the 5 months of storage for planning. Five Month Storage Volume (Actual): 359,000 gallons 6. O. Severe Storm Storage. At any time in North Carolina there can occur a severe rain producing storm which can deposit considerable amounts of water quickly. This fact has been considered. The standard storm surge allowed in lagoon design is' the 25 year - 24 hour rainfall event. The engineer chose to use 6.41 inches as a design number. The design engineer only considered the rainfall falling within the interior of the lagoon. There Should Be No Surface Run -Off From Surrounding Areas Allowed To Enter The Lagoon. All Run -Off At The Naked Creek II Farm Has Been Diverted Around The Lagoon Via Earthen Embankments. Naked Creek u Farm Prase T -' The 25 year - 24 hour storm volume for the Naked Creek 11 Farm is approximately: Severe Storm Value (Design): 91,234 gallons Severe. Storm Volume (Actual): 106,266 gallons 6. E. Freeboard. Freeboard is the extra depth added to a lagoon for safety against an embankment overflow or dam washout. This extra depth is a safety measure and prevents water from spilling over the dam, resulting in dam erosion and complete or partial failure. This was a selected value at the Naked Creek li Farm. Lagoon Freeboard: 1 toot. 6. F. Emergency Spillways $ Overflow Protection. The Naked Creek II Farm does not have a dam and it is lined with a synthetic liner. Therefore there was'no emergency overflow designed or installed for this lagoon. 7. Dam Construction (As -Built). The Naked Creek 11 Farm lagoon does not have an earthen dam holding back water. Instead it has small embankments around the lagoon rim to divert stormwater away from the lagoon. The lagoon embankments were constructed with a sandy clay soil material found on site. Its construction was observed by the engineer as construction was taking place. Recommendations found in PHASE I can be viewed to see original construction considerations.

The lagoon system at Naked Creek 11 Farm is more or less complete as of this PHASE 11 report. The contents of this report are included herein to describe the lagoon and then compare these numbers 'to the. design parameters in PHASE I. For brevity reasons certain portions of this -report list average values or rounded numbers when exact values are not appropriate or- are of very small percentages. The engineer feels as though the lagoon structures as built will function properly as anaerobic treatment structures for the swine effluent at the Naked Creek 11 Farm as long as the system is maintained and the farmer agitates and irrigates the effluent at least every 3 years. 2. Due to some construction limitations associated with using a synthetic liner in this lagoon the final volume of the lagoon was only 89 percent of the original calculated design. This translates into a smaller sludge storage volume and a smaller excess water storage volume than originally designed. The engineer estimates the as -built lagoon should allow for about a 3 year sludge accumulation period and still allow for a 5 month waste water accumulation period. In severe situations the farmer could allow the water level to raise another 4 to 5 inches and achieve the 6 months of storage called for in the design, still leaving room for the 25 year 24 hour storm. However, the farmer must use extreme caution to avoid an unexpected lagoon overflow. It is better to keep the liquid levels inside the lagoon low by a more intensive irrigation and crop management program than to allow it to become near full. Should the farmer wish to irrigate solids yearly, there will be at more than 6 months of storage available inside the as -built lagoon. 3. The potential for bare soils to erode at this farm is high. This will require the farmer to repair erosion scars during the course of stabilizing the site. It is 8 Naked Creek II Farm Phase r very important to repair any erosion as soon as it is observed. Grass should be planted immedlatelyl 4. The engineer wishes to point out that certain construction items are yet to be completed or are almost complete, e.g. grass planting, finished shaping of grass water ways, etc. These items must be done to have a satisfactory lagoon system. Sediment and erosion control structures and practices must be maintained as long as there is the potential for erosion. This includes the planting and maintaining of grass. The farmer will be continually responsible for maintaining all parts of this system and completing the work as promised to the engineer. 5. The owner of this lagoon system shall be obligated to install and operate the system according to the above specifications. However the engineer realizes the on -site conditions may cause some variations in as already mentioned. As long as the changes are minor and improve the system and do not change the flow or intent of the design, the changes can be made by the owner. Brand name items mentioned in this document are given for example only and may be changed as long as the function and quality are not compromised. 6. The engineer takes no responsibility for changes made to the system before, during, or after construction without his knowledge. Nor does the engineer take any responsibility for human losses or property damages which should occur due to poor workmanship, improper use of machinery, unknown conditions above or below ground level, legal problems with boundary lines or easements, acts of Nature, or "short-cuts" the owner may take in system construction or operation. The engineer did not help install the synthetic liner and can not guarantee its quality or useful life. 7. The engineer has made a concerted effort to observe the lagoon being constructed at different stages. However, as with most existing systems there are components of the system that are not visible and were not observed under construction. Therefore it is necessary to assume certain things that are reasonable for such systems or take the information given by owners, contractors, etc. Information given to the engineer by others and used in these specifications shall be taken as truth if it can not be verified otherwise.

Y �.i 4.__1 04-Dec-97 Narrative of Irrigation System Operation According to the data furnished by the Owner(s) and the affiliated companies the following is an overall description of the system to include procedures of operation such as- start-up, shut -down, winterization, and regular maintenance of the equipment. This operation contains 4 buildings with a capacity of 7680 animals. The annual plant available nitrogen (PAN) produced by this operation will be 3686 pounds. This system is designed to effectively wet 14.1 acres of land. As usual, more. land will be receiving water but is not counted as total "vetted acres". This system contains 1800 LF of 4 inch PVC (SDR 26) with 4 hydrants. There are 6 separate zones from these hydrants. Operator should notice the ring size and arc change at Zone 4. Care should be taken when starting the pump unit to allow all lines to fill slowly so as to allow the air to escape from the lines. After this process, the motor rpm's should be slowly increased to obtain• the desired system pressure. Failure to allow the entrapped air to escape before increasing the motor speed may cause damage to the system. Shut down procedures should be the reverse of start-up. The operator should slowly decrease the motor speed to idle and then shut it off. All regular and seasonal maintenance should be performed according to manufacturer's recommendations. Pumps and travelers should be drained prior to freezing temperatures. IRRIGATION SYSTEM DESIGNER Name: ' M._Floyd Adams Company: M. Floyd Adams, P.E. Address: P-0.
