Dear John Royal:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) received your sludge survey information on March 15,
2013. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement for
the lagoon at the McArthur Farm facility. Due to the amount of treatment volume available, the
Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed until December 31; 2016.
The next sludge survey for the lagoon at this facility should be performed before December 31,
2016. Please retain this letter and keep it with your farm records for reference. Thank you for
your attention to this matter.
Please call me at (919) 807-6340 if you have any questions.

Animal Waste Management System
Sampson County
Dear John O Royal:
In accordance with your application received on 4-Jan-07, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to John O Royal, authorizing the operation of the subject animal
waste management system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000.
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 McArthur 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: 3520 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 111.19 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 keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit.

If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site -specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current MRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .01 l 1(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 MRCS
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.

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
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
contents 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 avaialable water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to
land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre -cautions, 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 the 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. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is
the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste
in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating
waste 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. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste
utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.
Page 1 of 9
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
3520 hogs X 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 6688 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
3520 hogs X 2.3 Ibs PAN/hogs/year = 8096 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 suface application.

Acres show in each of the preceeding tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding
required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter
areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the
fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of
sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nurtudent rich and will require precautionary
measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility
will produce approximately 1302.4 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the
sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when
broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special
equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.
See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water.
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.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 5.92 months. In no instance should the volume of
waste being stored in your structure be within 1.58 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy
of a written agreement 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. (See FOTG
Stantard 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 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" in the NRCS Technical Reference -
Environment file 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 conditions
conducive to odor or flies and to 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 the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth.
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 a crop on bare soil.
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 anv residential property boundary
Page 6of9
and from any perennial stream or river (other that 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 landownwer.
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 croplands
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, except when applied at agronomic rates and 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.
*17. 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.
*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 as a preemergence with no other 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 fpr waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least
annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -
determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative
crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted
for optimum crop production amd maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five (5) 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 Department of
Agriculture regulations.

1. We are in the process of hauling top soil and spreading on the inside
slopes, and reseeding with common Bermuda grass.
2 & 3. We contacted a technical specialist, and the enclosed letter will
explain her results.
4. We have cut all fields and have sown rye for the winter. Shortly after
cutting or grazing rye, we will spray all problem fields for weeds and foreign
grasses.
If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to call me.

of Coverage (COC) issued to John Royal, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste
collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit
AWG100000. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to,
the management of animal waste from the McArthur Farm, located in Sampson County, with an animal
capacity of no greater than 3520 Feeder to Finish and the application to land as specified in the Certified
Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2003. 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, with no discharge of wastes to
surface waters. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and
operational information must be established for this farm. Any increase in waste production greater than
the certified design capacity or increase in number of stocked animals above the number authorized by
this COC will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and shall be completed prior to
actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
FOR
JOHN ROYAL
ROUTE 1 BOX 148
CLINTON NC 28328
April 11, 1994
Your animal waste utilization plan has been specifically
developed for your 3520 FEEDER TO FINISH SWINE operation.
The plan is based on the soil types, crops to be grown, and
method of application for your particular operation. The waste
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 and annual soil tests are encouraged so that all
plant nutrients and lime can be balanced for realistic yield
of the crops 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 environ-
mentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs
of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste.
The amount of available nitrogen for plant use is dependant on
the method of application. Soil type is important due to
different leaching potential and yield potential. Waste shall
not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre
per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on land
when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may
result in runoff to surface waters. Wind conditions should
also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems.
To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and
reduce the potential for pollution, waste should be applied to
a growing crop or not more than 30 days prior to planting_
Soil incorporation of the waste will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems. .
The acres needed to apply the animal waste are based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Annual
acreage requirements may be more or less depending an the
specific waste analysis report for your facility at the time
of irrigation.
' Your waste utilization plan is based on the following:

OPERATION & MAIN"I UNAiNCE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid manageme^t should be a year-round priority. it is especia,ly
important to manage levels so :hat you do not have problems du~:rig extended rainy and
wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be availahle in the lagoon for periods when the
receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are
extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means
that at the first signs of plant gror,rth in ti-,e later winter/early spring, irrigation according so
a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the lano is dry enough to
receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space ava'rlabie in the lagoon for future wet
periods. In the late summerlearly ;all the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for vvinter storage. Every efton should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as tine weather and waste
utilization plan will allow it.
%A acting until *he lagoon has reached Its maximum storage capacity before staging- to
i-rigdte does not leave room for s'oring excess water durinee extended wet periods.
Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 27-year, 24-hour storm is a violation oi"
state law and subject to penalty action.
The routine -maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam.
Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to
maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be
based on a soils tes', but in the event that it is not practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas
should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-' 0-10, or
equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be
done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices. This should be done at least once a year and
possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOT t: if vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not he allowed to enter
the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in she lagoon that are treating
the waste.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of
the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be
checked should include, as a minirnum, the following:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pines —look for:
1. separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall conditi-on of pipes
Lagoon surface --look for:
1, undesirable vegetative growth
?. floating or fudged debris
Embankment ----look for:
1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
? side slope stability —slumps or buigps
3. I wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. ! erosion due to lack of vegetation or a -;a resit of wave action
S. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave a, -ion cause) 5y strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby vreaken ing the lagoon parr..
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage cased by wave action. if
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidevval,i, baffles iri !,he'agoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
,",nv of these features could lead to erosion and weakenirmp of tt,e -am. it your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert tami ar wixn design ar;d
cost, uctior, of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there s5 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 equipm::nt is a serious
underaking with potentially serious consequences and should no; oe conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps --check for proper operation of:
1, 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
rep'acement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perfor-n 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 ful! lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, it your lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider rnainta,ni.ng an inventory of spare
parts or purnps..
Surface water diversion features are designed to caret, zl/ surface
drainage waters (such as rainfali runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parking lot runofr) away from your lagoon and c`her waste
treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be
coming from your lagoon is that which comes from. your flushing
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the foil3',ving:
1. adeq:jate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3.1 ridge berm height
identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance_ is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This %vill
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level w;d rise vith a cerrain -ainfali amount
4-,)u must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing t'Iis 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.
I . Immediately after construction establish a cor;folete ;od cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design irea.ment volume a; least half full of water before
waste loading begins, tal m,g 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.
h. 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 ,he full lagoon
liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the
addition of wastewater.
Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. if tl;e pH falls below
7.01 add agricultural lime at the rate of I pound per ' 000 cubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. pptimum lagoon liquid
pH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signais inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommenced
if:these conditions occur for prolonged periods, espec ally 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 t`,at wash waste into the lagoon several t-,mes daily are
optirnu-n for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained
and recharged eat day, also work well,
Management:
Practice water conservation —minimize hudding v:,ater usage and
spillage from !eal�i�ng waterer;.; t�rulcen pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance ar.d water conservation.
Minimize feed wastage and spitiage by keeping feeders'aajcasted. This
vviil reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon
tai^tain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and
the full temporary storage level.
Place visible markers or stakes on the !apoon bark to show the
rniriimum liquid level and the_maximurn liquid lever ;Figure 2-0.
Start irrigating at the Earliest possible date in the spring bases` oa
nuirient requirernents and soil moisture so that temporary storage
i11 be maximized iQr the summer thunderstorm sea3or:. Sirniiarly,
irrigate in the late summerfeariy call to ,provide rnaximurn lagoon
Storage Tor the winter.
The lagoon hquid level -should never be closer than i 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
sumace and as tar away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-sternned forage or vegetation,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign rr,aterials into the lagoon.
Frequen;lyremove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
Maintain strict vegeta`icrn, rodent, and varmint controi near lagoon edges
7o not allow trees or !arge busies to grow or; lavc'on .tarn o- embankment.
Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is
full or before it tills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
if animal production is to be terrnina'ed, 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 he reducer! by:
proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in ar, appropriately designed basin, or
- minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lag -ion sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long 'errs 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-agi:atcr impeller
pump th-ough large -:ore sprinkler irrigation systerr'. onto nsarb% crGN art':
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby Crop and or
forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into IPuid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropiand or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cr opiand 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 Haack
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader
cmto 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 wi!! 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 !agoon liner remains
intac . l= you see soil material or the synthetic !finer material being disturbed, you should
stop tlhe activity immediately and not resame ;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 meta', content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably he applied to lard with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to redi;cP the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soli -test phosphorus, it
should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus, As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The appiicat,'on of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
