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.
5. 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: 9

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

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN'
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or
terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should
be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks,
and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on
site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables
and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if
animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it
should only be applied preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and
bottom elevations of the temporary storage,(pumping volume) of
all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to
maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will
be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste
storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil
shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste
products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be
monitored and alternative crop sites shall'be used when these
metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste
analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry
waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be
maintained for five (5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North
Carolina regulations.

II. Total Waste/Nutrients Generated (per year)
This section includes the total volume of waste generated
(gallons or tons) as well as the total pounds of nutrients
generated. Values may be derived from tables of estimated
waste production or from actual waste records generated by the
farm. Particular attention should be noted in Table 2
under section !Included in WUP_Yes/No). The total waste
generated on the farm may or may not be included in the Waste
Utilization Plan (WUP). If the answer is no in this section,
there is not adequate acreage available on site to utilize
this portion of the waste. This portion of the waste will
therefore have to be utilized by some other means when
necessary.
Note that the N (nitrogen) generated and having a yes answer
in Table 2 will appear on the Field Summary in Section III of
this plan under the column (Total lbs. Nitrogen).
The amount of sludge shown in Table D is for a one year period and is based
on an application method shown -in Table C. The sludge should be tested
before land application.

III. Field Summary/Application Calendar
f ** The Field Summary Sheet is the most important part of the
Waste Utilization Plan for the farm. Significant columns for
the operator include the (1) Nutrients Required column
(lbs./ac.), (2) P (Plant Available) A lied om b - oducts
and (3) Applied From Fertilizer (lbs./ac.). when the (1)
Nitgogen ReqUiremgnt (lbs./ac.) of the crop is satisfied with
the waste application, other nutrients in the waste are also
supplied to the crop. If the waste does not contain enough of
these other nutrients, then column #(3) will show the balance
being supplied from Fertilizer (lbs./ac.). Nutrient excesses
are shown in red under (6) Net Nutrient Balance. This column
is used to estimate the buildup of nutrients on the site.
The Application Calendar following the Field Summary Sheet
indicates the months that waste can be applied to each crop
type. It may also include the relative uptake o ni.trog_en
during the growing season for the crop.

..........
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of tea state
by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, d4.rect application,
or d'_rect discharge during operation or land anal'_cation.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is
prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the
assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the
Division of Environmental Management for every day the
discharge cont'_nues.
4
Z. The Field Office must have documentation in the design
folder that the producer either owns or has long term
access to adequate land on which to properly apply the
waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to
properly dispose of waste, he shall provide MRCS with a
copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a
landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing
him/her the u$e 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
aaj.mals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields base,
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.
k. 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
=q filter strips will be used where rff leaves the field.
These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers"
required by DEM. (See FOTG Standard 393 - F4lter Strips
and Standard 390 (Interir) - Riparian Forest Busfers.j
S. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking
after waste application. Waste should not be applied when
the wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied ca acres subjec_ to
flooding, it will be soil incor?orated an conventional?y
tilled cropland. When applied to ctnse ^ration tided
crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided
the application does not occur during a season prcne to
flooding. (See "Weather and Cl ete in Nor:h Carolina" in
the Technical Reference - Envi.onmen_ file for 3uidance.)

=-WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continuad)
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
pondi3ig should occur in order to control conditions
conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of
application..
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils,
during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in
such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the
leaf area is covered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for
spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for
leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils
should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover
crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall
not be app )ied more than 30 days prior to planting of the
crop on ba a soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to
surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters
that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter
strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to
wells:
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of
dwellings other than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other
property and public right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,
drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by over -
spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted
wetlands provided they have been approved as a land
application site by a "technical specialist". Animal
waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that
discharge directly into water courses, and only then at
agronomic rates provided the application causes no runoff
or drift from the site.
d

IL.... ..........
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
15. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged
into the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures
must maintain a maximum operating level to provide
adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in
addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be
established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments,
berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation
shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as
necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as
trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc, are limited
to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas
should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and
structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of
erosion, leakage, or discharge.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or
terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a "closure..plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and
erosion.
20. . Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc.
should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent
breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance
checklist should be kept an site.

SUBJECT: Ellwell Lake Swine Farm
Dear Brian Mondschein:
This is in reference to our conversation on the phone about cattle on the Ellwell Lake site.
The waste plan was written with a grazing nitrogen rate on the small grain overseed, and
a hay nitrogen rate on the hybrid bermudgrass. Without additional acres, this site will
remain as written. The facility and lagoon was sited in 1988.
Thank you,
Dan Bailey

Important Considerations
when Managing Nutrients to Protect Water Quality
Animal Manures & By -Products
Do: ■ Remember that the producer is responsible for any pollution caused by improper management of
nutrients.
■ To avoid runoff, apply irrigated or liquid materials at levels less than the infiltration rate of the
soil. Infiltration rates vary with the degree of soil saturation and should be taken into account
when applying nutrients from liquid sources.
■ To avoid groundwater contamination, apply no more liquid than the amount necessary to fill the
soil profile within the crop rooting depth to field capacity.
■ To properly design and implement a nutrient management system, have manure and by-products
analyzed. If a sample cannot be taken before land application use the best available information
for that material. Then during land application or loading, take a representative sample of the
material and have it analyzed. After results are received, reassess the nutrient management plan
and make any necessary changes.
■ To maximize nutrient uptake for plant growth and development and to reduce the potential for
pollution, apply nitrogen from fertilizers or by-products less than 30 days before planting.
2 Develop field borders, which serve as a nutrient trap if field runoff occurs.
■ If a by-product has a calcium carbonate equivalent, be sure to assess the lime effect at calculated
application rates for the primary nutrient. Many products with calcium carbonate need to be
treated as a primary lime source rather than a primary nutrient source.
■ Store nutrient or lime sources that can't be applied at the appropriate time for plant use properly
to prevent groundwater or surface water contamination.
■ Locate temporary and permanent storage structures a minimum of 100 feet from perennial waters
as indicated on the most recent version of U.S.G.S. 1:2400 (7.5 minute) scale maps.
Don't: ■ Don't apply manure or by-products at rates greater than agronomic rates.
■ Don't spread manure or by-products on soils designated as highly erodible (HEL) unless treated to
meet soil loss or "T" (value that is considered to be an acceptable field loss tons/ac/yr), or unless
the application is part of a treatment program such as soil amendment.
■ Don't apply manures and by-products on soils with high runoff potential or steep slopes.
■ Don't apply nutrients to soils that are water saturated, frozen or snow covered. These conditions
promote runoff and may contribute to surface water contamination.
■ Don't apply nutrients before a storm. Greatest nutrient runoff occurs when significant rain falls
within 24 hours after application.
■ Don't apply nutrients near surface waters u. wells.

I. Use soil sample report for nutrient recommendations and liming.
Example: Recommended in lbs./ac.
* N 05 ,Ego _ Zn Cu Lime
20--40-22;0-240, 0 $ .7 Ton
2. Use Waste Analysis Report for nutrient availability and rate.
Example: lbs. available/1000 gallons (PA - Plant Available)
N P205 Kati 0 Z n Cu
2.5. 1.4 3.4 .02 .O1
3. Calculate the amount of waste needed in gallons to supply a
certain nitrogen loading rate in lbs./acre.
Exam e: Calculate the gallons of waste needed to supply
40lbs.- of nitrogen/acre from the waste analysis
in item # 2 above.
Gallons = lbs. nitrogen needed x 1000
lbs. nitrogen/1000 gallons
Gallons = 40 x 1000
2.5
Gallons = 16,000
4. Convert the gallons of waste needed per acre into acre inches.
Example: Use answer from item # 3'above. (Given: one acre inch '
Equals 27,154 gallons)
Acre Inches = _16,000
27,1.54
Acre Inches = .59
* Nitrogen rate on soil report is a generic recommendation by crop
type. Suggested rate obtained from Waste Utilization Plan (WUP)
or technical specialist is dependent on crop type, soil type and
realistic yield expectation.

1. To calculate the travel speed it takes a traveler to apply a
certain application volume, use the formula below:
Travel speed (in/min) =
19.26 X GPM
Lane spacing (ft) x depth of application (in)
Example: Calculate the travel speed needed to apply one inch
of water using a 200 R Ring Nozzle @90 psi. with a
oriface opening of
FroFroM Big Gun Table
GPM - 405
Dia. = 415'
First we must calculate the lane spacing for a traveler. This
is calculated at approximately 75% of the wetted diameter of
the gun.
Lane spacing = .75 x 4151
Lane spacing = 311.251 or approximately 300'
Travel speed (in/min) 19_.26 x 405
300' x 1"
Travel speed (in/min) = 7800
300
Travel speed (in/min) = 26 inches/minute
or 2.16 feet/minute
2. To calculate application volume if you know travel speed, use
the formula below:
Depth of application
19.26 x GPM
Lane spacing (ft) x Travel speed (in/min)
If we use the travel speed above of 26 inches/minute and a lane
spacing of 300' and GPM - 405 then
Depth of application = 19._26 x 405
300' x 26
Depth of application = 7800

Soil - There are several soil properties which directly influence the
design and operation of an irrigation system. They are: (a) intake rate,
(b) available water holding capacity of each significant soil layer or
horizon, and (c) depth. The response to irrigation is influenced by the
physical condition, fertility and biological status of the soil.
Drainage - Land to be irrigated should be well drained. lf,the land is
not naturally well'drained, adequate surface and subsurface drainage must
be provided; otherwise, a heavy rainfall following an irrigation may cause
crop damage.
,Managemenc of the System -- Irrigation is a very specialized practice and
should be considered only after a well planned soil and water conservation
program has been.developed for the farm. Soil fertility Levels should be
kept at a maximum for greatest benefits from irrigation. It should be
kept in mind that by applying irrigation water only one of the limiting
factors in growing plants is overcome.
The state has been divided into two parts for recommended peak moisture
use race for design purposes: (1) Coastal Plain and Piedmont frea
and (2) Mountain Area. The recommended peak moisture use rate is 0.02
inch per day less for all crops of the Mountain area than the Coastal
'lain and Piedmontarea. Separate guides have been prepared for each
area.

i Column 3 - Avera&e Soil Depth -- This is the average depth of the soil pro--
• file for that group, through which roots can penetrate readily in search
of plant food and moisture. In cases where this depth is less than the
normal root zone depth of the crop, it becomes a limiting factor in de-
termining the amount of available moisture than can be stored in the soil
profile.
Column 4 - Available Moisture Holding Capacity -- This indicates the
capacity of the soil profile to store or hold water available for plant
use. It represents the range of soil moisture between wilting point and
field capacity. Since heavier textured clay soils may hold up to three
times the amount of water per foot that can be held by light textured
sandy soils, it is important to know the available moisture holding ca-
pacity in order to determine, along with other factors, how much water to
apply at each irrigation. The available water holding capacity is ex-
pressed in inches of water for the first foot depth of the soil profile
and each additional six inches thereafter.
Columns 5 and 6 '- Recommended Maximum Application Rate -- This is the
maximum recommended rate of application for soils in the group. Recom-
mended application rates reflect the results of field tests and obser-
vations and is the maximum rate that water can be applied to a soil during
the time required for.the soil to absorb the depth of application without
runoff.
Column 7 - Crops Locally Grown --- This column contains a list of the
crops which may be locally grown on the soils listed in that group. They
are not necessarily recommended for irrigation. Many factors determine
the Feasibility of supplemental irrigation of any crop in the group.
Column 8 -- Depth of Moisture Replacement -- This is the depth of the soil
profile in which the majority of the plant roots are contained and is the
zone in which the moisture level is to be controlled for optimum plant
growth.
Column 9 - Moisture to be Replaced bZ Each Irrigation -- This is the
amount of moisture, expressed in inches of water, which should be replaced
into the soil profile at each irrigation. It is approximately 50 percent
of the total available moisture when the moisture level is at field
capacity.
Column 10 - Design Moisture Use Rate -- This is the average maximum peak
moisture userate(10 to 14 day period) of transpiration by the crop plus
evaporation from the soil surface. For most plants, the maximum rate of
transpiration occurs when the daylight hours are longest, air temperature
is greatest, wind movement is high, humidity is lowest, and the plant has
developed a good root system and is in the rapid growth stage.

Technical Guide
-7- Section II-G
} June 1976
Column 11 -- Irrigation Frequency for Peak Use Period---'i'his column shows
the frequency between irrigations in days when the crop is using moisture
at the design withdrawal rate. This frequency is determined by dividing
the moisture to be replaced by each irrigation (Column 9) by the design
moisture use rate (Column 10). Stated another way, this is also the maximuur.
number of days the designer can allow for the completion of one irrigation
over the entire design area.
Column 12 - Application Amount -- This column shows the actual amount of
water applied or pumped through the system at each irrigation. Since
sprinkler irrigation involves some unavoidable losses due to evaporation
from the spray, unequal distribution and deep percolation, more water must
be applied than actually becomes available for plant use. The efficiency
of a sprinkler system, while varying considerably with local conditions,
will be approximately 75 percent. The application amount is determined
by dividing the moisture to be replaced by each irrigation (Column 9) by
0.75.

OPERATION & MAIN*I EN'ANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especia`ly
important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and
wet oerio,.l>,
Maximum storage capacity should be available 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 f1r5t signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to
a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to
receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet
periods. in the late summer/early Tali the lagoon Should be pumped 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 the weather and waste
utilization plan will allow it.
W_=iting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before st2rtine to
irrigate Coe: not leave room for storing excess watt-er during extended wet periods.
Overflow trorn the lagoon for any reason except a ?j-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of
state law and subject to penalty actiori.
Tne routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam.
Fescue or cornmon 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 test, 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.
NOTE: if vegetation is controlled by spraving, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter
the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating
the waste.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of
the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to he
Checked should include, as a minimum, the following;
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes —look for;
1. separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall condition of pipes

La000ri 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. 1. wet or damp areas on the back slope
-4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a res.--it of wave action
5. ' rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave a,;'iDn caused by strong
winos. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewai Is, thereby weakening tine lagoon dam.
A goad stand of vegetation will reduce the potential dam, age caused by wave action. if
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the !agoon may be
used to reduce the wave irnpacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakenirg of cne c'a,rn. tf your lagoon has
any of these features, you sl ould call an appropriate expert fami tar with des gn and
co^struction of waste lagoons. You may need to proviue a temporary fix if there is a threat
of a waste discbarge. However, a permanent soiution should be reviewed by the
te6nical expert. Any diotzing into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not oe conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps --check for proper operation o':
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
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. Haring a nearly ful, iagoon is not the tirne
to think about switching, repairing , or bcrrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintains^g an inventory of spare
part; or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry al! surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and o`ner waste
treatment or storage structures. Ti-,e 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 in=pect your diversion system for the following:
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm he'-ht

identified problems should be corrected promptly. it is advisable to i^spect 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 v.hen rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assurnes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise %with a cerai,n rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work;. Knowing t'nis 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. lmmediately after construction establish a complete ;od cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2, rill ,new lagoon design trea:rne7,t volume a; least half full of water before
waste loading begins, takinQ-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. 'I -.the pH falls below
7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of I pound per '300 dubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid
pH is between 7.5 and-B.O.
1. A dark color, lack of bubbling; and excessive odor signais inadequate
biological activity. Consultation vvith a technical specialist is recomrnend'ed
if these conditions occur for pro!onge% periods, especially during the warm
season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the berer the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that was'n waste into the lagoon several tirnes daily are
optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained
and recharged Eac� day, also wail; well.

Practice water conservation --minimize building v,,ater_usage and
spillage froFm leaking waterer_., broken pipes and washdown througi
proper maintenance and water conservation.
Minimize feed wastage arod spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This
%ti,iil reduce the amount of solids entering tyre lagoon
Management:
Viair,taln €a000n hquid level between !fie permanent storage level arfd
"; C- full temporary storage ie;"el.
Piaoe visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid level and the.rnaximurr liquid lever (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on
nutrient require,nnents and soli moisture so that temporary storage
vvill be maxim zed for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly,
irr;gate in the late suri;mei /early tali to provide rnaxi-nunn lagoon
storage for the winter.
The lagoon liquid level -should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest
point cif the dam or emt.}ankment.
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-sternmed forage or vegetation,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the laaaon.
Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
Maintain strict vegetatic�n, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
Do not allow trees or large bushes to gro%v or. lagoon ::am or embankment.
Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is
foil or be►ore it tills ]Q percent of the permanent ;forage volume.
If anima; production is fo be terminated, the owner is responsiEe for
obtaining and imp€ernenting a Closure p.an to eliminate the possibility of a
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Pate of lagoon sludge buildup can he reAur.ed by:

proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
mi^imizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long'erm will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to proper!y use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper-agi-ator impeller
pump though large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby `rop zn i or
ior2gelanc; mix rerr:aining sludge; pump into 1!quid sludge applicator; haaJ
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 fie!d and trod
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
intact. 1= you see soil material or ti-te synthetic liner material being disturbed, yoj shou!c
stop the activity immediately and not rest-rne until you are su'e t,-at the sludge can be
removed without liner injury, If the iiner is damaged it must be repaired as soon a::
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
:han liquid. Because cf this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphores
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 soil -test pho5pnores, it
should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phospho%*. As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sl'.:dge analyzed for its nutrient value.
T he appiicatio.n of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the v.aste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to o>~se ve the �,vind direct+on and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.

Bermudagrass overseeded with rye or ryegrass will exhibit a yield suppression
of between 1200 to 2500 pounds per acre. When NRCS made the
recommendation of 50 lbs. of nitrogen per acre for an overseeded rye or
ryegrass crop, they did not account for the suppression in bermudagrass yield
with their computer program.
Yields of between 2500 to 5000 pounds of dry matter per acre have been
documented in recent studies of rye or ryegrass (see ext. publication AG-493)
overseeded into bermudagrass stands.
My experience has been that 50 lbs. of nitrogen/acre will not grow an overseed of
rye or ryegrass from October until April in North Carolina. I therefore asked at
the second guidance document meeting held at James Sprunt. Community College
if it would be appropriate to subtract a portion of the nitrogen away from the
bermudagrass crop due to yield suppression, and add this to the oversced. I was
answered in the affirmative --as long as the total nitrogen for both crops did not
exceed what the NRCS computer program generated. 1 therefore subtracted a
portion of nitrogen away from the bermudagrass commensurate with documented
yield suppression, and added this amount to the oversced.
I am enclosing a reprint of the article referenced in extension publication
AG-493.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
SWCD
NRCS_�5%Z
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 your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to
ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location for
all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should take.

e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
E. Leakage from base or side►vill of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to
flowing leaks --possible actions:
a. Dig a small sump or ditch away from the einbankment to catch all seepage,
put in a submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon.
b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill
holes and compact with a clay type soil.
c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon
bottom as soon as possible.
2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
