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 amounjt 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
specia,lprecautions, waste maybe applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per
year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is
frozen_ Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not
allowed under DEM regulations. -Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift
and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or
applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or
disking wjU couscrve 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 fmd information on
proper sampling tccluiigues, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for
analysis.
TZus wasic utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A
NCAC 211 02 17 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission

Mike Hope Farm -
Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Sampson County
Dear Mike Hope:
On June 11, 2004, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued a revised State General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill
733 (Session Law 2003-28).
In accordance with your application received on June 6, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC)'-issued to Mike
Hope, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWG 100000. The issuance of this COC
supersedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS820142 which expires October 1, 2004.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Mike Hope Farm, located in Sampson County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 3100 Wean to Feeder swine and the application to land -as specified in
the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary,
they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009. 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. Since this is a revised State
General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the
previous 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 NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility.
Per 15A NCAC 2H .0225(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.
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
Water Quality Staff may be reached at [phone]. If you need additional information concerning
this COC or the General Permit, please contact Duane Leith at [phone].

Water samples have been taken and will be used to update IRR-2 forms. The
forms have also been corrected to coincide with acres specified on the irrigation design.
The new water samples will also be used to recalculate revised IRR-2 forms to
determine the exact amount of Plant Available Nitrogen that has been applied to small
grain overseed.

(Design (rapacity)
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 acre per
year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is
frozen_ Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not
allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift
and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or
applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
ffle 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.

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 maimer.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown
and suiface application:

NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meting the N
requirements. Beginning in 1996 floc Coastal Zone Managenrent Act will require farmers in

all nurricnts. This plan only addresses Nitrogen.

• 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 that reaches
surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design fold 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 the waste, he/she shall provide evidence 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 waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient
Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the
number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or
available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs
for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical
data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are
regulations that restrict the rate of applications 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 eroding at more than 5 tons per
acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter
strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field
Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift
from the land application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste
will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is
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 and flies..
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil 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. Nutrients from waste 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 canal. Animal
waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1,
1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters.
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 the fields 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 ar agronomic rates in a manner that causes not runoff or drift
from 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.
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
pre -plant 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 nutrient, unless other restrictions require

waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower
application rate than a nitrogen based rate. 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 and
maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis
records shall be kept fora minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste
application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a
minimum of five years. -
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

OPERATOR:
Please review the attached plan and specifications carefully.
Retain this plan for your use and records. It is strongly
recommended that you, your contractor and the Soil Conservation
Service personnel are in agreement as to how the waste lagoon
is to be constructed. SCS personnel will meet with all
concerned parties and walk over the site to explain all flags
and markings. It is important that everyone understands what is
expected so that final construction meets plans and
specifications and the job can be certified for payment (if ACP
cost -share is involved).
The pad dimensions and grades are the best estimate. The
builder or contractor is responsible for final layout and
design of the pads. SCSI personnel will assist in a limited
capacity, as its major concern is the proper design and
construction of the waste treatment lagoon.
The actual amount of material required for pads and dam may
vary from the estimates. The design will attempt to balance
cuts and fills as close as possible. If additional material is
required after construction is complete on the lagoon, the
contractor.and owner will negotiate on the price and location
of the borrow area.
It should be noted that certification of the lagoon will depend
upon all specifications being met. Importa.d' lf�ow s include
length, width, depth, slopes, topsoil placement, correct
elevations (top, bottom, discharge pipes), and seeding.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
----------------------------------------------------------
CLEARING:
All trees and brush shall bq removed from the construction area
before any excavating or fill is started. Stumps will be
removed within the area of the foundation of the embankment and
fill areas and all excavated areas. All stumps and roots exceeding
one (1) inch in diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of
one (1) foot. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all
debris. The foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before
placement of embankment material. Lagoon site (and pad site if
needed) to be stripped of topsoil (311) and stockpiled for use on dike
and pad slopes (2-311). The topsoiling quantity is in excess of
amounts specified on page one (1).
Cut-off Trench:
--------------
A cut-off trench (when specified) shall be installed as shown in
the plans.
Construction:
------------
Construction of excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed
to the neat lines and grades as planned. Deviations from this will
require prior approval of the SCS., Earthfill shall be placed in
max. of 6" lifts and not placed in standing water. Compaction
shall be performed by the construction equipment or sheeps-foot roller
during placement., The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed
using the more impervious materials. Construction of fill
heights shall include ten (10) percent for settlement. To
protect against seepage, when areas of unsuitable material arE
encountered, they will need to be excavated a minimum of one b5 �t
below grade and backfilled and compacted with a SCS approved
material (i.e.-CL,SC, CH) . Refer to the soil investigation
information in the plans for special considerations. Precautions
should be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion
and sedimentation.
Vegetation:
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be
seededtothe planned type of vegetation as soon as possible
after construction according to seeding specifications sheet.

Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially
important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during: extended rainy and
wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for per iods when the
receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bemudagrass) or when there are
extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm seascn in the summertime. This means
that at the first signs pf plant growth in the later winterlearly spring; irrigation according to
a farm waste management plan should be done wherever the land n dry enough to
receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet
Periods. In the late summerlearly fall the iaocon should be pumper down to the low
marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as thi, weather and waste
utilization plan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity )efore starting to
irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extende d wet periods.
Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 2j-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of
state law and subject to penalty action.
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the fal-lowing:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for Cie darn.
Fescue or common bermudaerass ate the most conm:)n vegetative
covers. The vegetation sho,sld be fertilized each yeaa, if needed, to
maintain a vigorous stand. The arnot:-t of fertilizer � pplied should be
based on a soils test, but in the event :hat it is not pr-,ctical to obtasn
a soils test each year, the lagoori embarkment and su-rounding areas
should be fertilized with BCC- pounds per acre of 10-I )-10, or
equivalent.
Brush and fees on the emirankmer:t artist be controlh d. T'ris may be
done by rnowing, spraying, g:2.:ing, clopping, or a combination of
these practices. This should be done a- least once a }ear and
possibly twice in years that welher ccndirions are fa,,orole for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE: If vegetation is controiled by spraying, the :erbicide must not be allowed to enter
the lagoon water. Such chemicals could ha -rip the bacteria in the la= oon that are treaung
the waste.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagcor should _e made during the initial filling of
the lagoon and at least monthly and after mzjor raini.:lli end storm events. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the followir.a:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling PipeS, and Overfiow Pipes ---look for:
1. separation of joints
2. cracks or brn,.aks
3. accumulation of salts or mi2e:2.'s
4. overall condition of pipes

Lagoon surface ---look for:
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2, floating or lodged debris
Embank. ment —look for:
1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" boles
2. side slope stability —slumps or bulges
3. wet or dump areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action a.used by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weaker ing 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 sidewail, baffles in tP a lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weak--ning of the dare. If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expe; < familiar 'with design and
construction of waste laeoons. You may need to provide a temporart 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 zorducied unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps --check far _proper ove adon of:
1. recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pu;np opraion. An unu;uaily loud or grinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate u at the pump is in ri= or repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and c-emted frequent.y enough so that you
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should pe lorm your pumping
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon: is at .:s 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 purrips. Probably; if your lagoon is full,
your ne;ghbor's lagoon is full also. You shhould consider maintaini'T an inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion fean:.--s are designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rain`oil runoff. roof drainage gutter outlets,
and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and outer waste
treatment or storage structures. The or_ly water that si.ould be
coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing
(washing) system pipes and t e rainfa:I dia: nits the lal;oon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
1. adequate vegetadon
2. diversion capacity
3, ridge berm height

Identified Problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance: is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is F redicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a cert iin rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoor, rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problerp from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoons Operation
Startup;
I. Immediately after constructior establish a complete set cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment voluri: a: least half lull of wafer before
waste loading begins, talang care not tc erode lining cr bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extt:nder on the
end of the pipe to discharge rear the botzorn of the lagoon during initial
filling or another means of slowing the incoming wate- to avoid erosion of
the lining.
4. When possible, begin loading rev lagoons in the sprir.; to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer wmther).
5. It is recommended that a new iaeoon be ed with sludge from a he—Althy
working swine Iagoon in the arniCu,,_ o C.25 percen-. cf the full lagoon
liquid volume. This seeding s bald occcur at least -,N) w�'cs prior to the
addition of wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the la-ec.r. :icuid pH. If the pH fails below
7.0, add agricultural lime at the rave of 1 pound per IC-00 cubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Olidmum lgoon liquid
PH is between 7.5 and $.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling. and ex:essive odor sig.ials inadequate
biological activity. Consultation wish a txhnical spec alist is recommended
if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especi 311y during tie w-arrn
season.
Loading.
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagom, the bett:.r the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are
optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, ri which one or more )uildings are drained
and recharged each day, also workwell.

Practice water conservation ---minimize building water- usage and
spillage from baking waterers, broken pipes and worst down through
proper maintenance and water conservation.
Minimize feed wastage and spiilIage by keeping feedeis adjusted- This
will reduce the amount of solids enterLtg the lagoon
Management:
Maintain lagoon liquid level betwe-en Cie permanent sorage level and
the full temporary storage level.
Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to ;how the
minimum liquid level and the maxirnurn 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 thu. cerstorm seascn. Similarly,
irrigate in the late summer/early fall te, provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winter.
Ttie lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 'got to the lowest
point of the dam or emba::ikment.
Do not pump the Iagoon liquid level lcwer that the permanent storage
level unless you are removing sludge.
Locate float pump intakes 18 inches underneath the liquid
surface and as far away from the drair,pipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding ma:e:ials, long-sterrmed forage or vegetation,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreib materials into the lagoon.
Frequently remove solids frL m catch basins at end of -:or. inement houses or
wherever they are installed.
Maintain strict vegetation, rcdent, anc varmint contro neGr lagoon edges.
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment.
Remove sludge from the lagccr, iHu: er when the slUeg, storage capacity is
full or before it fills 50 percent of tie permanent storage volume.
If animal production is to be to=mi;,a:e3, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a close plan to elimirat.: the possibility of
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
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 appropria:eIy designed basin, or
minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored Iona term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require,inore land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
14iix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper-aagita:or impeller
pump through large -bore sp-rinkler irrigation system oetto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of iaoon by i�-adon onto nearby cropland or
4
for'ageland; mix retraining sludge; pump into liquid sl Age applicator; haul
and spread onto cropland or feragelantf; and soil incor)orate.
Dewater the upper part of lzgeon by litigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon w:th dragline cr sludge barge; berin
-
an area beside Iagoon to receive the sludge- so that liquids can drain back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewat;..; ; aul and spread with manure spreader
onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have tr e slid-_ r7natenal analyze) for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. Tyre sludge will cc ntain dir err it
nutrient and metal valuers from the liquid. i ae aaplic-luon of &e sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any prsvious was;, applications to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discas-<eu in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attenticn the liner to pravent damage. Close -
attention by the pumper or drag-ae operator will ensure that the lag()on liner remains
intact. If you sec soil material or the synthet<c liner .Material being d sturbed, you should
stop the activity immediately and not resume until vex; are sure that tie sludge can be
removed without liner injury. If the liner is da_<<a7ets: it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a muc hig er phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this It should probably b2 ap ii;�d to land wit.a low phosphorus
and metal IeveIs, as indicated by a soil test, and irco7Dorated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields w; very high so 1-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 a.^yzed for its nutrient value.
The application of Sludge will increase the a-~nount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra pmcaution should be used to observe the wind c section and other cor:ditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.

Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the st7acture. Types
of failures include Ieakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the
dam. Assuming proper design and construc-don, the owner has the :•esponsibility for
ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification of the lagoon st,-ucture---an example is 'he 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 pi-' scouring, dariage during sludge
removal, or rupture from to wring Iaz-,on liquid leve! below groundwater
table.
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to oven.op :he dam, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damaie s:a:ts, a can quickly ,:ruse a large discharge
of wastewater and possible dam failure,

This plan will be implemented in.'the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing or running off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters
or leave you property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every
effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible
location for all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should
take.
7. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may ore may not be
possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed belwo.
A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B. Runoff from waste application field actions include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff:

Dear Mr. Hope:

NCDENR
MAR 2 7 2001
REG. O FI
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission on Agricultural
Waste, was enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly. This legislation requires owner of a certified
operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle,
75 or more horses, 1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid waste management
system.
Our records indicate that the operator designated as the Operator In Charge (01C) for your animal waste
management system is no longer certified. Therefore, you must designate a properly certified animal waste
management system operator as the O1C for your facility. The enclosed designation form must be returned to this
office by April 1, 2001. This office maintains a list of certified operators in your area if you need assistance in
locating a certified operator.
Failure to designate a properly certified Operator in Charge for your facility is a violation of N.C.G.S. 90A-47-2
and 15A NCAC 8F .0201(a) and may result in the initiation of enforcement action. Please be advised that nothing
in this letter should be taken as resolving you of the responsibility and liability for any past or future violations for
your failure to have a properly certified Operator in Charge designated for your animal waste management system.
If you have questions concerning this matter, or if this office can be of further assistance, please call Beth
Buffington at [phone], extension 313.
Sincerely,
i�
