Dear Shan Spivey
The Division of Water Quality (Division) received your sludge survey information on October
12, 2011. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement
for the lagoon at Shan Spivey Topping Operation facility. Due to the amount of treatment
volume available, the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed until 2014.
The next sludge survey at this facility should be performed before December 31, 2014. Thank
you for your attention to this matter. Please call me at [phone] if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Columbus County
Dear Shan Spivey:
On -April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the
Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General
Permit AWG 100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the
expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with
all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit.
In accordance with your application received on February 3, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this. Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Shan
Spivey, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWGIOO000. The issuance of this COC
supersedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS240029 which expired on April 30, 2003.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Shan Spivey Topping Operation, Iocated in Columbus County, with an animal
capacity of no greater than an annual average of 600 Feeder to Finish 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 October 1, 2004. 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.
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. VAX

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
C-
Producer: Shan Spivey
Location: 171 Sidney Cherry Grove Rd.
Clarendon NC 28432
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Existing Feeder to Finish Swine
Number of Animals: 600.00 hogs
(Design Capacity)
STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon,
APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops
in the fields where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient..
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil
tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1.. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply
more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than
5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining,
or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions
may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.
Page: 1

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
5. Wind conditions shourld also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should
be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30
days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility_ In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied.
Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
600 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 1140 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
600 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 1380 lbs. PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time
and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

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

acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the
acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing.the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land
application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 222 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
�f you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1110
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 3.7 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 8.88 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25a depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods.
APPLICATION'OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility 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

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: Shan Spivey
Location: 171 Sidney Cherry Grove Rd.
Clarendon NC 28432
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Existing Feeder to Finish Swine
Number of Animals: 600.00 hags
(Design Capacity)
STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops
in the fields where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil
tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply
more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than
5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established-
4- Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining,
or when the surface is frozen_ Either of these conditions
may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.
Page: 1

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should
be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30
days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied.
Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
600 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 1140 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
600 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 1380 lbs. PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time
and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

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

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
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.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land
application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 222 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1110
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 3.7 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 8.88 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility 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

* This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil
assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over
applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot
be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil
conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180.00 days of temporary storage and the
temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6.00
months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in
your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot'
of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.

It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to
ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the
correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may

NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
Page: 9

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

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: 11

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

L�
Field Calibration Procedures
for Animal Wastewater Application Equipment
STATIONARY
SPRINKLER
IRRIGATION SYSTEM
General Guidelines
Land application equipment used on animal production farms must be field
calibrated or evaluated in accordance with existing design charts and tables
according to state rules that went into effect September 1, .1996. Technical
Specialist certifying waste management plans after September 1, 1996, must
also certify that operators have been provided calibration and adjustment
guidance for all land application equipment_ The rules apply to irrigation sys-
tems as well as all other types of liquid, slurry, or solid application equipment -
Information presented in manufacturers', charts are based on average
operating conditions for relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and appli-
cation rates change over time as equipment ages and components wear. As a
result, equipment should be field calibrated regularly to ensure that applica-
tion rates and uniformity are consistent with values used during the system
design and given in manufacturers' specifications. Field calibration is a simple
procedure involving collection and measurement of the material being
applied at several locations in the application area. This publication con-
tains step-by-step guidelines for field calibration of stationary sprinkler
irrigation systems.
Operating an irrigation system differently than
assumed in the design will alter the application rate,
uniformity of coverage, and subsequently the appli-
cation uniformity. Operating with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift,
and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Pump
wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow.
With continued use, nozzle wear results in an in-
crease in the nozzle opening, which will increase the
discharge rate while decreasing the welted diameter.
Clogging of nozzles or crystallization of main lines
can result in increased pump pressure but reduced
flow at the sprinkler Plugged intakes will reduce
operating pressure- An operating pressure below
design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter
and application uniformity. Field calibration helps
ensure that nutrients from animal waste are applied
uniformly and at proper rates.
The calibration of a stationary sprinkler irrigation
system involves setting out collection containers,
Operating the system, measuring the amount of
wastewater collected in each container, and then
computing the average depth of application (applica-
tion volume) and application uniformity.
An in -line flow meter installed in the mars
irrigation line provides a good estimate of the total
volume pumped from the lagoon during each irriga-
tion cycle. The average application depth can be
determined by dividing the pumped volume by the
application area. The average application depth i5
computed from the formula_
Average application depth (inches)
Volume pumped (gallons)
27,154 (galfac-in) X Application area (acres)
The average application depth is the average
amount applied throughout the field. Unfortunately,
sprinklers do not apply the same depth of water
throughout their wetted area -Under normal operat-
ing conditions, application depth decreases towards
the outer perimeter of the wetted diameter Station-
ary sprinkler systems are designed to have overlap of
50 to 65 percent of the wetted sprinkler diameter to
compensate for the defining application along the
H

Fietd Cafibration Procedures
for Animal Wastewater Apafication Equipment
outer perimeter. lichen operated at the design pres-
sure, this overlap results in acceptable application
uniformity.
When operated improperly, well -designed systems
will not provide acceptable application uniformity.
For example, if the pressure is too low, the application
depth will be several times higher near the center of
sprinkler and water will not be thrown as far from the
sprinkler as indicated in manufacturers' charts. Even
through the averase application depth may be accept-
able, some areas receive excessively high application
while others receive no application at all.
When applying wastewater high in nutrients, it is
important to determine the application uniformity.
Collection containers distributed throughout the
application area must be used to evaluate application
uniformity. Many types of containers can be used to
collect flow and detenmine the application unifor-
mity. Standard rain gauges work best and are recom-
mended because they already have a graduated scale
from which to read the application depth.
Pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a
uniform opening and cross section can be used,
provided the container is deep enough (at least 4
inches deep) to prevent splash and excessive evapora-
tion, and the liquid collected can be easily trans-
ferred to a scaled container for measuring. All con-
tainers should be the same size and shape.
All collection containers should be set up at the
same height relative to the height of the sprinkler
nozzle (discharge elevation )_ Normally, the top of
each container should be no more than 36 inches
above the ground_ Collectors should be located so
that there is no interference from the crop. The crop
canopy should be tr rned to preclude interference
or splash into the collection container.
Calibration should be performed dubrg periods
of low evaporation_ Best times are before 10 a-m. or
after -^_ p.m. on days with light wind (less than 3
mils per hour. On cool, cloudy days the calibration
can be performed an), time when wind velocity is less
than 5 miles per hour.
General Guidelines for Stationary
Sprinklers
Rain gauges or other collection containers should be
spaced in a grid pattern fully enclosing the "effective"
wetted area defined by the sprinkler spacing. The
most common spacing pattern for stationary spnn-
tilers is a square spacing where the distance between
sprinklers is the same as the spacing between laterals_
The spacing betty-een sprinklers and laterals is nor-
mally between 50 to 65 percent of the sprinkler
wetted diameter specified by the manufacturer.
Collection gauges should be placed one-fourth
the lateral line length from the main and no further
apart than one-fourth the wetted sprinkler radius or
effective sprinkler spacing. (For example, if the
effective spacing is 80 feet, spacing between gauges
should be no more than 20 feet).
The grid pattern and number of gauges required
to complete the calibration depends on the pattern
of operating the irrigation system. The size of the
calibration area should be no less than the "effective"
area of one sprinkler. When sprinklers are arranged in
a rectangular or square pattern with proper overlap,
an "effective area" receives flow from four sprinkders.
c Thus, a minimum of four sprinklers should be
included in the calibration.
The reliability of the calibration generally im-
proves as more sprinklers are included in the calibra-
tion area. if all sprinklers contributing flow to the
calibration area are functioning correctly, it is neces-
sary to include only the minimum number of
sprinklers as described in the preceding paragraph.
But, a malfunctioning sprinkler can greatly influence
the calibration results. Its effect on the calibration
depends on the calibration setup and number of
sprinklers being calibrated, the malfunctioning
sprinkler's position within the calibration area, the
direction of the prevailing wind, and the nature of
the malfunction. For these reasons, it is extremely
important to observe the performance of every
sprinkler contributing to the calibration while the'
calibration is being performed and to record any
obvious performance irregularities. The more sprin-
Hers that can be included in the calibration, the
more representative the calibration results will be of
c the entire field and the less influence one malfunc-
tioning sprinkler will have on the calibration results.
The volume (depth) collected during calibration
should be read as soon as a zone or sprinkler is shut
off to minimize evaporation from the rain gauge.
Where a procedure must be performed more than
once, (Setups 3, 4, or 5 described below) containers
should be read and values recorded immediately after
each different set up.
Operating patterns affect collection container
layout and calibration procedures and results. Typical

An application uniformity greater than
75 is excellent for stationary sprinklers_
Application uniformity between 50 to
75 is in the "good" range and is •
acceptable for wastewater application.
Generally, an application uniformity
below 50 is not acceptable for waste-
water irrigation. If the computed U, is
less than 50 percent, system adjustments
are required. Contact your irrigation

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 Soil Conservation Service personnel are in agreement
as to how the waste lagoon is to be constructed. The Soil Conservation
Service personnel will meet with all concerned parties and walk over the
site to explain all flags and markings. It is important that everyone
understand what is expected so that final construction meets plans and
specification and the job can be certified for payment (if cost -sharing
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. The
Soil Conservation Service 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 borrow area.

------------------------------
This Ia3oon is desi3ned for waste treatment with minimum odor
cp.,ntri., I . The time required for the planned fluid level to be
reached may vary due to soiI conditions, fIushin3 operations, and
the amount of fresh water added to the system. _
E Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include honey wa3ons
(sprayer- or injection) and irriSation (center pivot, guns, ar-
traveIers). Care needs to be taken when applying waste to
prevent darna3e ti_L crops or runoff from the field.
The f c. ! l <<w i n3 items are to be carried out:
1. Begin purnp-out of the I aoc- on when f I u i d level reaches invert
of outlet pipes.
�. Step pump -taut before fluid depth is less than F feet deep
(this prevents the lass of favorable bacteria).
3. The rec ,mmended ma:: i murn amount to apply per i rr- i gat i on is or,e
inch, and ma: imum recommended app I i cation rate is 0.4 inch per

4. It is strongly recommended that the treatment be
prechar ged to 1/Z its capacity to prevent a-c ess i ve odors dur i n3
startup. Precharg i n3 reduces the c,�ncentr:mt i orr of the initial

Field Calibration Procedures
for Animal Wastewater Application Equipment
STATIONARY
SPRINKLER
IRRIGATION SYSTEM
General Guidelines
Lind application equipment used on animal production farms must be field
calibrated or evaluated in accordance with existing design charts and tables
according to state rules that went into effect September 1, .1996. Technical
Specialist certifying waste management plans after September 1, 1996, must
also certify that operators have been provided calibration and adjustment
guidance for all land application equipment. The rules apply to irrigation sys-
tems as well as all other types of liquid, slurry, or solid application equipment_
Information presented in manufacturers', charts are based on average
operating conditions for relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and appli-
cation rates change over time as equipment ages and components wear. As a
result, equipment should be field calibrated regularly to ensure that applica-
tion rates and uniformity are consistent with values used during the system
design and given in manufacturers' specifications. Field calibration is a simple
procedure involving collection and measurement of the material being
applied at several locations in the application area. This publication con-
tains step-by-step guidelines for field calibration of stationary sprinkler
irrigation systems.
Operating an irrigation system differently than
assumed in the design will altex the application rate,
uniformity of coverage, and subsequently* the appli-
cation unifDnDity. Operating with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift,
and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Pump
wear tends to reduce operating pressure and floes*.
With continued use, nozzle wear results in an in-
crease in the nozzle opening, which will. -increase the
discharge rate while deaeasing the wetted diameter
Clogging of nozzles or crystallization of main lines
can result in increased pump pressure but reduced
flow at the sprink-ler Plugged 'intakes will reduce
operating pressure. An operating pressure below
design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter
and application uniformity. Field calibration helps
ensure that nutrients from animal waste are applied
uniformly and at proper rates.
The calibration of a stationary sprinkler irrigation
system involves setting out collection containers,
operating the system, measuring the amount of
wastewater collected in each container, and then
computing the average depth of application (applica-
tion volume) and application uniformity.
An in -line flow meter installed in the main
c irrigation line provides a good estimate of the total
volume pumped from the lagoon during each irriga-
tion cycle. The average application depth can be
determined by dividing the pumped volume by the
application area. The average application depth is
computed from the formula;
Average application depth (inches) _
Volume pumped (gallons)
27,154 (oalfac-in) X Application area (acres)
The average application depth is the average
amount applied throughout the field. Unfortunately;
sprinklers do not apply the same depth of water
throughout their wetted area.Under normal operat-
ing conditions, application depth decreases towards
the outer perimeter of the wetted diameter Station-
ary sprinkler systems are designed to have overlap of
50 to fir percent of the wetted sprinkler diameter to
compensate for the declining application along the

Fieid Calibration Proceciores
for Animal Wastewater Application Equipment
outer perimeter_ 111hen operated at the design pres-
sure, this overlap results in acceptable application
uniformity.
When operated improperly, well -designed systems
vtizll not provide acceptable application uniformity.
For example, if the pressure is too low, the application
depth will be several times higher near the center of
sprinkler and water will not be thrown as fax from the
sprinkler as indicated in manufacturers' charts. Even
through the average application depth may be accept-
able, sorne areas receive excessively high application
while others receive no application at all.
When applying wastewater high in nutrients, it is
important to determine the application uniformity.
Collection containers distributed throughout the
application area must be used to evaluate application
uniformity. Many t)Tes of containers can be used to
collect flow and determine the application unifor-
mity= Standard rain gauges work best and are recom-
mended because they already have a a actuated scale
from which to read the application depth.
Pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a
uniform opening and cross section can be used,
provided the container is deep enough (at least 4
inches deep) to prevent splash and excessive evapora-
tion, and the liquid collected can be easily trans-
ferred to a scaled container for measuring_ Ail con-
tainers should be the same size and shape.
All collection containers should be set up at the
same height relative to the height of the sprinkler
nozzle (discharge elevation ). Normally, the top of
each container should be no more than 36 inches
above the ground_ Collectors should be located so
that there is no interference from the crop. The crop
canopy should be Brimmed to preclude interference
or splash into the collection container.
Calibration should be performed dudrg periods
of low evaporation_ Best times are before 10 a.m. or
after 4 p.m. on days with light wind (less than 5
miles per hour. On coal, cloudy days the calibration
can be performed any time when wind velocity is less
than 3 miles per hour
General Guideiines for Stationary
Sprinklers
Rain Gauges or other collec-don containers should be
spaced in a grid pattern fully enclosing the "effective"
wetted area defined by the sprinkler spacing. The
most common spacing pattern for stationary sprin-
klers is a square spacing where the distance between
Sprinklers is the same as the spacing between laterals.
The spacing between sprinklers and laterals is nor-
mally between 50 to 65 percent of the sprinkler
wetted diameter specified by the manufacturer.
Collection gauges should be placed one-fourth
the lateral line length from the main and no further
apart than one-fourth the wetted sprinkler radius or
effective sprinkler spacing. (For example, if the
effective spacing is 80 feet, spacing between gauges
should be no more than 20 feet).
The grid pattern and number of gauges required
to complete the calibration depends on the pattern
of operating the irrigation system. The size of the
calibration area should be no less than the "effective"
area of one sprinkler. When sprinklers are arranged in
a rectangular or square pattern with proper overlap,
an "effective area" receives flow from four sprirW- ers.
Thus, a minimum of four sprinklers should be
included in the calibration.
The reliability of the calibration generally im-
proves as more sprinklers are included in the calibra-
tion area. If all sprinklers contributing Dow to the
calibration area are functioning correctly, it is neces-
sary to include only the minimum number of
sprinkler as described in the preceding paragraph.
But, a malfunctioning sprinkler can greatly influence
the calibration results. Its effect on the calibration
depends on the calibration setup and number of
sprinklers being calibrated, the zrralfunctioning
sprinkler's position within the calibration area, the
direction of the prevailing wind, and the nature of
the malfunction. For these reasons, it is extremely
important to observe the performance of every
sprinkler contributing to the calibration while the
calibration is being performed and to record any
obvious performance irregularities. The more sprin-
klers that can be included in the calibration, the
more representative the calibration results will be of
the entire field and the less influence one malfunc-
toning sprinkler will have on the calibration results.
The volume (depth) collected during calibration
should be read as soon as a zone or sprinkler is shut
off to minimize evaporation from the rain gauge.
Where a procedure must be performed more than
once, (Setups 3, 4, or 5 described below) containers
should be read and values recorded immediately after
each different set up.
Operating patterns affect collection container
layout and calibration procedures and results. Typical

the wetted diameter of one spninlder. Sixteen gauges
are set out as shov.n in Figure 5 (Lateral A) (S gauges
on each side of the lateral) with all 16 gauges posi-
tioned within the effective sprinkler width_ The outer
edges are ignored at the onset of the calibration_ Flow
from all sprinklers is summed then averaged to
compute the average
application depth for the
effective area,
For the second alterna-
tive, the entire width of
the field is included in the
calibration as shown in
Figure 5 (Lateral B). At least
16 gauges should be set
out on each side of the
lateral. The calibration can
be.performed all at once
(both sides of the lateral
which requires 32 gauges)
or the procedure can be
performed twice, once on
each side of the lateral
using 16 gauges at a time.
The "non -zero" volumes
collected are averaged to
get a "preliminary' average
application depth for the
wetted area. Next, the
average application depth
for each row of gauges is
computed (rows are
assumed to be oriented
parallel to the lateral). In
this computation, zero
values are included. Those
rows whose row average is
less than one-half the
average from the entire
wetted area are then
excluded and assumed to
fall outside the effective
area. The effective width is
the distance from the
lateral line to the furthest
row from the lateral that is
retained. Step-by-step
procedures for this method
are given in the Case III
example on page 9.

Procedure must be repeated for each gun sprinkler or

field. Since stationary big ,guns should not be oper-
ated "head to head." (two or more sprinklers throw-
ing water on the same area simultaneously), the
procedure must be repeated several times -
Collection gauges may be centered about one gun
sprinkler_ This setup requires that the procedure be
performed three times, once while Gun 2 operates,
again when Gun 3 operates, and a third time when
Gun 4 operates. Collection gauges may also be
centered between Gun 2 and 3 or Guns 3 and 4 as
shown in Figure 6. (Actual location depends on the
length of the lateral), in this setup, the procedure
would be performed twice since only two guns or
gun locations contribute to the calibration_

Interpret the calibration results.
An application unrtormity greater than
75 is excellent for stationary sprinklers.
Application uniformity between 50 to
75 is in the "good" range and is
acceptable for wastewater application.
Generally, an application uniformity
below 50 is not acceptable for waste-
water irrigation. If the computed Uz is
less than 50 percent, system adjustments
are required. Contact your irrigation
dealer or Certified Technical Specialist
for assistance.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 24-29
Columbus County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRRI, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLLJRI, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571 _

Dear Mr. Spivey:
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of ISA NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31,1996.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 9191733-0026.

Dear Mr. Spivey:
This is to inform you that your completed registration form required by the recently
modified nondischarge rule has been received by the Division of Environmental Management
(DEM), Water Quality Section.
On December 10, 1992 the Environmental Management Commission adopted a water
quality rule which governs animal waste management systems. The goal of the rule is for animal
operations to be managed such that animal waste is not discharged to surface waters of the state.
The rule allows animal waste systems to be "deemed permitted" if certain minimum criteria are
met (15A NCAC 2H .0217), By submitting this registration you have met one of the criteria for
being deemed permitted_
We would like to remind you that existing feedlots which meet the size thresholds listed
in the rule, and any new or expanded feedlots constructed between February 1, 1993 and
December 31, 1993 must submit a signed certification form (copy enclosed) to DEM by
December 31, 1997. New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must
obtain signed certification before animals are stocked on the farm_ Certification of an
approved animal waste management plan can be obtained after the Soil and Water Conservation
Commission adopts rules later this year.
We appreciate you providing us with this information. If you have any question about
the new nondischarge rule, please contact David Harding at [phone].
Sincerely,
