The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to
reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is
to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be
analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all
plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors. are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe
manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are
important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange
capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land
eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be
applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it
is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to
surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be
considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for
crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a
growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the
waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The -estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for
this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of
an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the
use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to
secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation,
increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop
yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level
of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste
may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per
year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG
Standard 393 - Filter Strip).
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.
B 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.)
Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.

9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage
from animal waste should also be considered.
10 Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a
high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste
shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking
dormancy.
11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal
waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be
applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist".
Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a
manner that 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.

(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to
protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc.,
are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed
and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of
erosion, leakage or discharge.
18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19 Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on site.
20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct

Dear James B Best:
27 2�_7
In accordance with your application received on 4-Jan-07, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to James B Best, authorizing the operation of the subject animal
waste management system in accordance with General Permit AWG 100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CAWMP) for the Jimmy Best Farm, located in Sampson County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than the following swine annual averages:
Wean to Finish: 0 Feeder to Finish: 3672 Boar/Stud: 0
Wean to Feeder: 0 Farrow to Wean: 0 Gilts: 0
Farrow to Finish: 0 Farrow to Feeder: 0
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows.
Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows
may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009 and replaces the NPDES
COC issued to this facility with an expiration date of July 1, 2007. You are required to continue
conducting annual surveys of sludge accumulation in all lagoons at your facility; the one-year extension
in Condition III.19 does not apply.
Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the
conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An
adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information
must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design
capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a
modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either
wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is
a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay
careful attention to the record kpoing and monitoring conditions in this permit.

If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site -specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .01 I I(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100-foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .1306, any containment basin, such as a lagoon or waste storage structure, shall
continue to be subject to the conditions and requirements of the facility's permit until closed to NRCS
standards and the permit is rescinded by the Division.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the
General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual permit by contacting the staff member listed below for information on this
process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.
This facility is located in a county covered by our Fayetteville Regional Office. The Regional Office

Dear Mr. Best.-
EDEHNR

FAYr-- n-wLLE
REG. 4FFiCE
During our meeting this week you asked that we advise you whether it would be
acceptable to switch from the 7.344 head feeder to finish operation that had been sited on
your land prior to October 1, 1996 to a 2,600 head farrow to wean operation.
Under current Statutes and Regulations there is nothing to prevent the construction of
either the 7.344 head feeder to finish operation or the 2,600 head farrow to wean operation as
long as a Certified Animal Waste Management Plan can be developed in accordance with all
relevant State and Federal criteria and the appropriate permit coverage can be received from
the Division of Water Quality.
The main issue seems to be whether you can switch to the 2,600 head farrow to wean
operation and not have to comply with the 500 foot buffer requirement from the swine
houses or the lagoon(s) to all property lines- This buffer requirement was established by
Senate Bill 1217 for all swine facilities sited after October 1, 1996.
The Senate Bill 1215 Interagency Group has previously reviewed these type changes and
had developed guidance as to what should be appropriate in these types of circumstances.
The Group agreed that a producer should be able to change operation types and still retain
their previous status under Senate Bill 1217 as long as the total number of animals at the
facility does not increase. Using information supplied by N. C. State University, the Group
adopted conversion factors for various types of operations. To determine the number of sows
allowed in a farrow to wean operation, you would divide the number of head sited for a
feeder to finish operation by 2.5. In your case, you would divide 7,344 by 2.5 and get 2,937
as the total allowable number of sows. Therefore your request for a 2,600 head farrow to
wean operation should be acceptable.
Please note that Senate Bill 1217 Guidance Group has not been given the authority to
administer provisions of the Swine Farm Siting Act. The interpretations given above reflect
internal policies for administering the animal waste management system program. If then
are questions regarding individual rights or responsibilities under the act, consideration
should be given to obtaining appropriate legal counsel.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to call me at 919/733-5083 ext. 528 or

Dear Sirs:
Reference your question pertaining to the environmental impact of your swine facility
options on the tract sited by the September 13, 1996 Site Evaluation, our findings
are as follows:
1.j' The tract sited is located about 1 mile from NC 13 and about .4 mile E. of
SR 1808,1in Sampson County, N.C. As of September 13, 1996,1 this site was
evaluated and deemed satisfactory for 6,1 1, 224 -finishing houses or a total.
of 7,344 feeder to finish animals_ These 7,M4 animals, using criteria
established by the State of North Carolina, et.al, would produce 2.3 pounds
of plant available nitrogen per animal per year, or a total of 16,891 lbs.
of total PAN annually_ Using the same criteria, soils information, and
planned land cover of Coastal Bermudagrass and winter overseed with small
grains, the amount of application land needed was determined to be about
52.0 acres, plus needed area for buffers, irrigation efficiencies, etc.
2. Option # 2,1consisting of a facility with 2,660 sows; farrow to wean, based
again, on the above referenced criteria, would produce 5.4 Zbs- of plant -
available nitrogen (PAN) per year for each of the 2,600 saw units, or a
total of 14,040 pounds of PAN annually. Using the same soils information -
planned land cover, etc in the September 13, 1996 Site Evaluation, the
amount of application land needed would be about 44 acres, plus needed
areas for buffers, irrigation efficiencies, etc.
3. Other data, related to feed differences, lagoon function efficiencies, and
other management differences between a feeder to finish and a sow, farrow
to Wean operation, indicates a measurable difference between these two
types of operations, with a much higher management level being required
by the sow operation_ A higher management level often times, indicates
a cleaner and more environmentally sound operation.
In summary, -a 2,600 head, farrow to wean sow operation an this site would reduce the
PAN by about 2,850 pounds annually. The waste application acreage would be reduced
by about 8 acres an a comparative basis. These reductions would reduce impacts to
the environment simply on the basis of volumes and application areas and seem to
c uply with the intent of the laws governing swine operations in N.C.
If we can be of further assistance, please advise.

FAYETTEViLLE
REG. 0FFjCE
Durina our meeting this week you asked that we advise you whether it would be
acceptablezto switch from the 7,344 head feeder to finish operation that had been sited on
your land prior to October 1, 1996 to a 2,600 head farrow to wean operation -
Under current Statutes and Regulations there is nothing to prevent the construction of
either the 7.344 head feeder to finish operation or the 2,600.head farrow to wean operation as
long as a Certified Animal Waste Management Plan can be developed in accordance with all
relevant State and Federal criteria and the appropriate permit coverage can be received from
the Division of Water Quality.
The main issue seems to be whether you can switch to the 2,600 head farrow to wean
operation and not have to comply with the 500 foot buffer requirement from the swine
houses or the lagoon(s) to all property lines. This buffer .requirement was established by
Senate Bill 1217 for all swine facilities sited after October 1, 1996.
The Senate Bill 1215 Interagency Group has previously reviewed these type changes and
had developed guidance as to what should be appropriate in these types of circumstances.
The Group agreed that a producer should be able to change operation types and still retain
their previous status under Senate Bill 1217 as long as the total number of animals at the
facility does riot increase. Using information supplied by N. C. State University, the Group
adopted conversion factors for various types of operations. To determine the number of sows
allowed in a farrow to wean operation, you would divide the number of head sited for a
feeder to finish operation by 2.5. In your case, you would divide 7,344 by 2.5 and get 2,937
as the total allowable number of sows. Therefore your request for a 2,600 head farrow to
wean operation should be acceptable.
Please note that Senate Bill 1217 Guidance Group has not been given the authority to
administer provisions of the Swine Farm Siting Act. The interpretations given above reflect
internal policies for administering the animal waste management system program. If theft
are questions regarding individual rights or responsibilities under the act, consideration
should be given to obtaining appropriate legal counsel.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to call me at 919/733-5083 ext. 528 or

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

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should
be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30
• days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied.
Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental -
Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
3672 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 6976.8 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
3672 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 8445.6 lbs. PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time
and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or
winter annuals follow summer annuals.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing,
hay and/or silage. where grazing, plants should be grazed
when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle
should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four
inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed
for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small
grain to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced
yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than
cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as
is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small
grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or
silage two to three times during the season, depending on
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late
September or early October. Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a
height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the

See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land
application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 1358.64 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in'the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6793.2
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 22.644 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 54.3456 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 251 depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by
runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or
direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the
producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate
land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does
not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall
provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when
there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict
the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons
per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding
at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year
providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves
the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is
danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled
cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or
grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application
does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather
and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to
surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from
the site during application. No ponding should occur in order
to control odor or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such
a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that
would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal
waste should also be considered.
Page: I0

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
r -
REQUIRED SPECIFI_CATIONS
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: 11

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or
terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should
be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks,
and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on
site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables
and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if
animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it
should only be applied preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and
bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of
all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to
maintain the liquid,level between the markers. A marker will
be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste
storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil
shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste
products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be
monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when thes
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.

Jimmy Best Farm
Animal Waste Operation
Sampson County
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject
application_ Additional information is required before we can continue our review. Please address and submit
the following information by August 14, 1998:
1. Operation and Maintenance Plan for your lagoons is missing.
2. Clarify the number of lagoons present on your farm and submit calculations to show
required storage volumes in each of these lagoons.
3. Senate Bill 1217 checklists are missing in your package that should include emergency
action plan, insect control, odor control, and mortality management methods
4. The tract number and field numbers specified in your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) do not
match with those in the field map. Please provide a clearer map with corresponding field
number and acreage information.
5. The irrigation parameters listed in your WUP exceed current NRCS recommendations.
Irrigation events are to be listed in the WUP as the maximum application allowable for that
soil type from the time the pumps are turned on until the time they are shut off. The
application events listed in your WUP appear to be out of the Sprinkler Irrigation Guide.
The Application Amounts listed in this guide have not been adjusted for the application of
animal waste. NRCS currently recommends that total application amounts not exceed one
inch in any application event for any soil type. If your application rates need to be adjusted
for the application of animal waste, please have your Technical Specialist revise your WUP
to reflect the appropriate application amount per event. If the irrigation amounts exceed.the
recommended one inch, please have your Technical Specialist justify the increased
application rate in the narrative of your WUP.
Please reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All
information should be signed, sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The
information requested by this letter must be submitted on or before August 14, 1998 or the Division will return
your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and your facility will be considered to
be operating without a permit_

OPERATION & MAIN I t tiANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid management should he. a year-round priority.'. It is especially.
important to manage .levels so that you do not have -problems during extended.rainy and
wet neriod5.
,Maximum storage ca ?city should be available in the lagoon for periods when the!
receiving crop is dor{n�nt.(such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are
extended rainy spelig Such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means
that at the first signs ofl plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to
a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the Lana is dry enough to
receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet
periods. In the late siummer/early fail the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
marker (see Figure 2-1) to aliow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste
utilization plan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before staring to
irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water duri^g extended wet periods.
Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-nour storm is a vio';ation of
state law and subject to penalty action.
[he routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam.
Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to
maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied shculd be
based on a soils test; but in the event that it is riot practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment ar,d surrounding areas
should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 7 J-". C-1 Q, or
equivalent.

2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment ----look far: ,
1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability —slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
-4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result df wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. if your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat
of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert. -
Transfer Pumps —check for proper operation of:
9 . recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration,- may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your pumping
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some
safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversiob features are designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment or storage structures. The only water that Should be
corning from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
1. -adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm hei ;ht

identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts. i
You should record the level of the' laggoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then .
record the level again 4-to 6 hours anerthe rain (assumes -there is no'pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowini t�is should help in
planning irrigation applications_and storage. if your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
1. immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading begins, taking'care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining..
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
S. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon
liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the
addition of wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH faits below
7.0r, add agricultural litre at the rate of 1 pound per ' D00 cubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid
pH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended
if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm
season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
is 'on will fueclion. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are
op�rnum for treatment. fait recharge systems, in.which one or more huildings are drained
and recharged each day, also work well.

i
IL
Practice water conservation —minimize building water.usage and
spillage�from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance and water conservation.
Minimi� feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders ,adjusted, This
will red ce the amount of solids entering the lagoon
Management:
Maintain !lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and
the full temporary storage level.
Place vi�ible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on
nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage
will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly,
irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winter.
The lagoon liquid level -should-never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest
point of the dam or embankment_
Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage
level unless you are removing sludge.
Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid
surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment.
Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is
full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
if animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure p-an to eliminate the possibility of a
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal: ' ,
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:

1.
proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader
onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate_
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just.as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact. if you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be
removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soli -test phosphores, it
should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution shoulc€ be used to observe the wind direction and other�conditions which
r_ould increase the concern of neighbors.

Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned dischalge_of wastewater from the structure. Types
of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breich of the
dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring structure safety, Items which.may lead to lagoon failures include: ! I
Modification of the lagoon structure ---an example is the placement of a pipe
in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in
lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.)
Lagoon liquid levels —high. levels are a safety risk.
Failure -to inspect and maintain the dam.
Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon_
Liner integrity --protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge
removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater
table.
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge
of wastewater and possible dam failure.

Sr'.em 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 op rating pressure and flow. With continued use,
nozzle wear results in an incre so in the nozzle opening which will increase the
discharge rate while decreasin the wetted diameter.
You should be aware that oper tang the system differently than assumed in the
design wilt 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 powtial for drift, and accelerates wear of the
sprinkler nozzle. Clogging or` nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged
intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating
below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity.
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every
three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at
several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to
collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because
they already have a graduated sca!e 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. Fc,r 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.

To attain acceptable application uniformit}-, stationary sprinklers
are typically arranged in a square pattern at a spacing of 50 to
70 percent of the wetted diameter. A n-pical layout for stationarnv
sprinklers is shown in Figure 5-2. The orifice size, spacing, and
oiler ting pressure are selected trom manufacturer's literature to
achie,e the desired overlap and uniforminv of coverage.

EMERGENCY ACTION
Using this outline as guidance, you sh�uld develop a specific emergency action plan for
your waste handling system. This plait will be implemented in the event that wastes from
your operation are leaking,.overflowlq, or running off the -site:- You should NOT wait
until wastes reach surface waters or Ie ye your property to consider that you have a
problem. You should make every eff rt to ensure that this does not happen. This plan
should be available to all employees t the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks could
happen at any time. Your plan shoulo follow this format: .
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or
may not be possible. S ggested responses to problems are listed below:
a. Lagoon overflow —possible solutions are:
add soil t� berm to temporarily increase elevation of darn —any
permanent alteration of the dam should be approved by a
qualified technical specialist _
pump wastes to field at an acceptable rate
stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers) —hold waste in
house if possible
call a pumping contractor
make sure no surface water is entering lagoon
NOTE: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the
temporary' storage level.
b. Runoff from waste application field —actions include:
immediately stop waste application
create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on
the field
incorporate waste to reduce further runoff
C. Leakage from the waste distribution system:
pipes and sprinklers --actions include:
— stop recycle (flushing system) pump
stop irrigation pump
-- close valves to eliminate further discharge
separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
flush sys,eon, houses, solids separators —actions include:
stop recycle (flushing system) pump
-- stop irrigation pump
make sure no siphon effect has been created
separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
d. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often these are seepage as
opposed to flowing leaks —possible action*:
dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a
submersible pump, and pump back into lagoon
if holes are caused by burrowing animals,trap or remove
animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil
other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil
r *Lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual
experienced inIthe design and installation of lagoons for permanent
repair measures.

Assess the extent of the spill and note a6y obvious damages.
a. Did the waste rr,tch surface %viter,'
b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
j C. Any dainage notes, such as employee injury,fish kills, or properly
damage?
I Contact appropriate, a�wnCieS.
a. During normal business hours, call your DEM regional office, at
910 486-1541 . after hours, emergency number 8p0 662-7956
Your phone call should include; your name, facility, telephone
number, the details of incident from: item 2 above, the exact
location of the facility, and the location or
direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind
conditions, what corrective measures have been under taker.,
and the seriousness r►f'the situation.
b. If spill leaves, or is likely ro leave, properly or enters surfacr
waters, call local emergency management services (EMS) at
910 592-8996.
C. Instruct CMS to contact local Heal�h Department.
d. Contact local Soil and Water Conservations District

SyFern Calibration
lnfoimation presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation
Conditions with relatively new -equipment. Discharge rates and application rates
change over time as equiprnentl gets older and components wear. In particular,
pump wear tends to reduce op rating pressure and flow. With continued use,
nozzle wear results in an incre s4 in the nozzle opening which will increase the
discharge rate while decreasing�the wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the
design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and Subsequently the
application uniforrnlry. For example, operating tl,'e 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. Mugged
intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating
below design pressure gre2t1y reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity.
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every
three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring'flow at
several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to
collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because
they already have a graduated sca!-e 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. Fcr 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
d.E21er or technical specialist for assistance.

To attain acceptable application uniformity, stationary sprinklers
are t}rpically arranged in a square pastern at a spacing of 50 to
70 percent of the wetted diameter. A "tz-pical layout for stationan-
sprinklers is shown in Figure 5-2. The orifice size, spacing, and
open ting pressure are selected from ma,�ufacturer's literature to
achire the desired overlap and uniform�in- of coverage.

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

Proper lagoon liquid! rriana ernes' should he a ear -round priority.'. It is especially,
P g 4 � g Y- r� P Y
important to manage;.levels so that you do not have -problems during extended rainy and
wet periods.
Maximum storage c4city should be available in the. lagoon for periods when the
receiving crop is dorm?nt.(such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are i
extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorr:E season in the surn=mertirne. This means
that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to
a farm waste manage,rnent pian should be done whenever the lane is dry enough to
receive iagoo,n liquid. This will make storage space availabie in the lagoon for Nture wet
periods. In the late s6mmerlearly ;"=E1 the lagoon should be pumped down to the !o�V
marker (see Figure 2=1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort shoo:d be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimurn l quid level as long as the weather and waste
utilization plan will allow it.
V,,'aiting until the lagoon has reached Its maxinnum sto.-age- capacity before sta'.ing to
irrigate does not leave room for storing excess wat?r during extended wet periods.
Overflow from the lagoon f--r any reason: except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a �,loiaticn of
state law and subject to pena!ty action.
he routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover For the dam.
Fescue or common berrriudagrass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to
maintain a vigarous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied :hcu•ld be
based on a soils test !)ut in the event that it is no' practical to Obtain
a soils test eac! year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas
should be fertiiiLed with 800 pounds per acre of 10-7.10-10, or
equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlizd_ This may be
done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping. o, a combination of
these practices. Thl's should be done at least once a year and
possibly twice in years that weather conditions are fa•roraIble ,ter

Lagoon surface --look for:
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. ` -floating or lodged debris
Embankment --look for: ,
1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
?. side slope stability --slumps or bulges
3. tivet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result df wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action, If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon 5idewall, baffles in the lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave irapacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need. to provide a temporary -fix if there is a threat
of a waste di5charge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon darn with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert. -
Transfer Pumps —check for proper operation of:
I. recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration,- may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform ,your pumping
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some
safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps_ Probably, if your lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parking lot runoft� away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be
corning from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for. the following:
1. "adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height

l L
I.
identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the laon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then .
recordggo
the level again 4 to 6 hours after -the rain (assumes -there is no;purnping). This will
give you an idea of stow much your lagoon level will rise with a cehain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowiq t�is should help in
planning irrigation applications•and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land. t
Lagoon Operation
Startup;
i. immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading begins, tal•.ing care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining..
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon
liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the
addition of wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below
7.0', add agricultural lirne at the rate of i pound per 7.700 cubic feet of
lagoon liquid volurne until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid
pH is between 7.5 and -8.0.
7. A dark Color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended
if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm
season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are
optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in. which one or more buildings are drained
and recharged each day, also work well. l

proper maintenance and water conservation.
Minimi"19
' feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This
will red ce the amount of solids entering the lagoon
Management:
Maintain {lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and
the full temporary storage level.
Place vi�ible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid level and.the.maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on
nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage
will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly,
irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winter.
The lagoon liquid Ieve l should never be closer than t foot to the lowest
point of the dam or embankment.
Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage
level unless you are removing sludge.
Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid
surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
Maintain strict vegetatim, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment.
Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity. is
full or before it fills 5D percent of the permanent storage volume.
If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure p.an'to eliminate the possibility of a
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal: I
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:

proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed.waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long tern will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator. -
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader
onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sledge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that fie!d and crop
.requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the Iiner to prevent darnage. Close
attention by -the pumper or drag -line operator will erasure that the lagoon liner remains
intact. if you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be
removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soli -test phosphores, it
should be applied only at rates. equal to the crop removal of phosphorus, As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge wil I increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other -conditions which
,� could increase the concern of neighbors.

Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge -of wastewater from the strut ure. Types
of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and bre4c`..h of the
dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsib city for
ensuring structure safety. Items which -may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification of the lagoon structure —an example is the placement of a pipe
in the dam without proper design and construction.. (Consult an expert in
lagoon design before placing any pipes in darns.)
Lagoon liquid levels —high levels are a safety risk.
Failure-lo inspeci and maintain the dam.
Excess surface water rowing into the lagoon.
Liner integrity ---protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge
removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater
table.
NOTE: if lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge
of wastewater and possible dam failure.
