meet the nutrient needs of the crop, but does not overload the soil with nutrients or other
constituents that cause or contribute to a contravention of surface water or groundwater standards,
limit crop growth, or adversely affect soil quality- Nutrient needs of the crop shall be based on
realistic yield expectations (RYE) established for a soil series through published Cooperative
Extension Service bulletins, NRCS publications, county soil surveys, or site -specific agronomist
reports.
Amendment to the CAWMP means a change and/or addition to a part(s) of the plan, and requires
that the change and/or addition adhere to current applicable standards. The following are examples

19

Permit No. AW1310048
January 19, 2017
• In an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes 25% or less of
the N generated is considered a plan amendment. Additional acreage needed to facilitate the
change in crops and/or cropping pattern is permissible and considered part of the amendment.
• The addition of winter crops and/or interseeded perennial crops are considered amendments to
an existing CAWMP when the operation does not require additional acreage and/or crops for
N utilization, and does not exceed the 25% criteria stated above.
• When a CAWMP cannot meet N utilization requirements due to land lost to irrigation
inefficiency (useable versus total acres), then the CAWMP may be amended to increase
available acreage and/or change the crop for N utilization. This is the only exception to the
25% N criteria for plan revision.
• Inclusions of emergency action plans, and insect, odor and mortality checklists are considered
CAWMP amendments.

noted in the CAWMP amendment criteria as previously defined. For an existing CAWMP, a change
in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes more than 25% of the N generated by the operation is
considered a plan revision- Any change to an existing CAWMP, whether an amendment or revision,
must be signed and dated by both the producer and a technical specialist for the new CAWMP to
be valid. A revision of the CAWMP does not require recertification.
State Waters means all surface waters, wetlands, groundwaters and waters of the United States
located in the State.
Surface Waters means any stream, river, brook, swamp, lake, sound, tidal estuary, bay, creek,

Compliance Timeframes:
If the sludge level is equal to or higher than the stop pump level of the lagoon or if the sludge level
results in an elevated waste analysis, a sludge management plan that meets the requirements of SB
Interagency Group Guidance Document 1.26 must be prepared by a technical specialist and submitted to
DWO within 180 days_ Work to reduce the sludge level must begin within another 180 days.
Compliance with NRCS Standard 359 must be achieved by the expiration date of the current permit.
If the sludge level is non -compliant, but below the stop pump level of the lagoon, compliance with NRCS
Standard 359 must be achieved by the expiration date of the current permit. If future sludge surveys do
not show improvement in sludge levels, DWO may require the owner to develop a sludge management
plan that meets the requirements of SB Interagency Group Guidance Document 1.26.

Appendix 3. Workshel_t for sludge volume and treatment volume Revised August 2008
The average thickness of the sludge layer and the dikkness of the existing lipid (skrdge-free) treatment zone are detemilned from~
Information an the lagoon Sludge Survey Form (Items O and P, respectively). In this example, the average sludge layer thiciahess Is 25
feet and the existing gquid treamma zone is 3.5 feet. If the laVoon has a designed sludge storage volume, see notes at end all the
worksheet. The d#aensians of the lagoon as measured and the side skhpe are needed fur calculations of sludge volume and of total
tnmbrent volume. Lf the lagoon Is a standard geomebric shape, the sludge volume and treatment volume in the lagoon can be estimatL
try using standard equations- For approximate volumes of rectangular Lagoons vnth constant side slope, calculate length and vridth at the
midpoint of the Carer, and multiply by toyer thickness to calculate layer volurhhe, as shown In the example. For irregular shapes, convert
the total surface area to a square or rectangular shape. for enact volumes for lagoons with carrstant side slope, the 'Prtsmaidal Equaticne
may be used.

Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWS310048
Stocking Head Farm
Animal Waste Management System
Duplin County
Dear Ronald Derek Brown:
In accordance with your application received on 4-Jan-07, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Ronald Derek Brown, authorizing the operation of the subject
animal waste management system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CAWMP) for the Stocking Head Farm, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than the following swine annual averages:
Wean to Finish: 0 Feeder to Finish: 8960 Boar/Stud: 0
Wean to Feeder: 0 Farrow to Wean: 0 Gilts: 0
Farrow to Finish: 0 Farrow to Feeder: 0
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows.
Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows
may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009 and replaces the NPDES
COC issued to this facility with an expiration date of July 1, 2007. You are required to continue
conducting annual surveys of sludge accumulation in all lagoons at your facility; the one-year extension
in Condition IH.19 does not apply.
Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the
conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An
adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information
must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design
capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a
modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior, to actual increase in either
wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is
a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please��
careful attention to the record keepingkeepipg 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 perm isit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility.'
Per 15A NCAC 02T .0111(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100-foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .1306, any containment basin, such as a lagoon or waste storage structure, shall
continue to be subject to the conditions and requirements of the facility's permit until closed to NRCS
standards and the permit is rescinded by the Division.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief..
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the
General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change.application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual permit by contacting the staff member listed below for information on this
process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.
This facility is located in a county covered by our Wilmington Regional Office. The Regional Office
Aquifer Protection staff may be reached at 910-395-3900. If you need additional information concerning
this COC or the General Permit, please contact the Animal Feeding Operations Unit staff at (919) 733-

The waste from this facility must be land applied at specified rates to prevent pollution
of surface and/or groundwater. These rates are based -on sail types of the land to be irrigated, the
RYE's of the soil, and the PAN required to efficiently grow the crops, crops in the fields where waste is
applied- This Nutrient Management Plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be
analyzed before each application cycle and per regulations. Annual soil tests are REQUIRED so that
nutrient requirements can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing this plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of
the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Factors included are:
a. Always apply waste based on crop needs and the nutrient content of the waste.
b. Do not over apply nitrogen.
c. Soil types are important because of different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange
capacities, and water holding capacities.
d. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the ground is frozen either of
which could lead to surface runoff.
e. Consider wind conditions to avoid drift and down wind odor problems.
f. Waste can only be applied to actively growing crops or not more than 30 days prior to planting
a crop or to forages breaking dormancy.
This plan is based on waste being applied using irrigation. If the application method is changed, this
plan will have to be revised because nutrient content varies depending on how it is applied.
Actual application rates should be based on the waste analysis report for this facility.
This nutrient management plan, if followed, meets the requirements for compliance with
15A NCAC 2H.0217 as adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

The ownerloperator of this facility has the option of overseeding any or all of the bermuda
fields as needed. No overseeding is required to reach a negative N balance. If overseeding is
used, up to 50 Ibs of N may be applied per acre. If the resulting small grain forage is harvested,
the N applied can be added to the total used. If not harvested, the amount of N applied must be

The nitrogen balance shown in table 2 should be equal to or less than 0 to fully utilize the nutrients
produced by the swine production on this farm. To produce crops at the RYE's shown may
require the use of commercial fertilizer to balance fertilization rates in crop rotations. This farm is
producing 20,608 lbs. of nitrogen per year in the waste water and a 3,226

Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Duplin County
Dear Ronald G. Brown:
On March 14, 2003, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued an NPDES General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued to enable swine facilities in North Carolina to
obtain coverage under a single permit that addresses both State and Federal requirements.
In accordance with your application received on February 6, 2003 we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Ronald G. Brown, authorizing the operation of the subject
animal waste collection, treatment, storage and Iand application system in accordance with NPDES
General Permit NCA200000. The issuance of this COC combines two facilities (31-48 and 31-766) into
one, supercedes and terminates your COC Numbers AWS310048 and AWS310766 to operate under State
Non -Discharge Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Stockinghead Farm and Rackley Place, located in Duplin County, with an
animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 8,960 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 July 1, 2007. 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 General Permit. Since this is a new joint State and
Federal general permit it contains many new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained
in the current 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 monitorine conditions in this hermit. The Devices to Automaticallv Ston Irritation Events Form
must be returned to the Division of Water Quality no later than 120 days following receipt of the

Dear Ms. Homewood:
I built and still own and operate swine facility #31-48
that is known as my 5tockinghead Farm and it is a feeder to
finish unit. I have purchased swine facility #31-766 that is
also a feeder to finish unit ;hat adjoins 31-48. I would like
to have this combined into one facility number, 31-48, to
facilitate easier handling of the waste management of the 2 units.
(attached is a waste management plan with the 2 combined.. Hydrant
numbers 16 through 22 were the application fields for 31-766.
Please let me know if you need additional information or
have questions about this consolidation request.
Sincerely,

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
L Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, \drift,
manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge durin \
operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that 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 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 -o€ 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 maybe -applied to land eroding at more than S 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, MRCS Field
Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
�. 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.
b. 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 snail 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.
�• Animal waste shall not be applied -to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil surface is frozen.

i
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 sods 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
breaiang dormancy.
11. Amy 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 properly 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-sprayinp, A 3dmal 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 at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift
from the site.
1a'. Domestic and industrial waste from w2shdown facilities, showers, toilets,
since, 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 embanioments, 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 .aiid
accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for
evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge_
------------------- ------------------------------------------------------
692299 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 07-25-2002 Specification Page 2

18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the
owner is responsibje for obtaining and implementing a "closnre 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 nt 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 for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste
application records shall be maintained for a minimnm of three 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

The waste from this facility must be land applied at specified rates to prevent pollution
of surface andlor groundwater. These rates are based on soil types of the land to be irrigated, the
RYE'S of the soil, and the PAN required to efficiently grow the crops. crops in the fields where waste is
applied. This Nutrient Management Plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be
analyzed before each application cycle and per regulations. Annual soil: tests are REQUIRED so that
nutrient requirements can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing this plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of
the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Factors included are:
a. Always apply waste based on crop needs and the nutrient content of the waste.
b. Do not over apply nitrogen.
c. Soil types are important because of different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange
capacities, and water holding capacities.
d. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the ground is frozen either of
which could lead to surface runoff.
e. Consider wind conditions to avoid drift and down wind odor problems.
f. Waste can only be applied to actively growing crops or not more than 30 days prior to planting
a crop onto forages breaking dormancy.
This plan is based on waste being applied using irrigation. If the application method is changed, this
plan will have to be revised because nutrient content varies depending on how it is applied.
Actual application rates should be based on the waste analysis report for this facility.
This nutrient management plan, if followed, meets the requirements for compliance with
15A NCAC 2H.0217 as adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

NOTE: The ownerloperator of this facility has the option of cutting either field above for hay as needed
for his cattle production needs. Cutting hay would remove more nutrients than grazing and the
crops grazing needs has produced a negative N balance as shown in Table 2 below.
The ownerloperator of this facility has the option of overseeding any or all of the bermuda
fields as needed. No overseeding is required to reach a negative N balance. If overseeding is
used, up to 50 lbs of N may be applied per acre. If the resulting small grain forage is harvested,
the N applied can be added to the total used. If not harvested, the amount of N applied must be
deducted from the following crops PAN application rate.

The nitrogen balance shown in table 2 should be equal to or less than 0 to fully utilize the nutrients
produced by the swine production on this farm. To produce crops at the RYE's shown may
require the use of commercial fertilizer to balance fertilization rates in crop rotations. This farm is
producing 20,608 lbs. of nitrogen per year in the waste water and a 3,226
lbs. of nitrogen accumulates annually as sludge. To land apply the liquid portion in an acceptable
manner requires the irrigation system to spread 8,305,920 total gallons
annually_ This involves spreading 305.88 acrin/year over the farms . 130.3

Equal applications during the application window are for optimum conditions. The total amount of
N allowed for the crop may be applied anytime within the application window shown as long as the
RYE for the crop is not exceeded_ Weather conditions or other factors may necessitate the waste
being applied during any_given month within the application window.
Summary and recommendations
1. Total PAN produced per year (based on land application with irrigation) that must be
accounted for in this cropping system equals: 20,608 lbs/year.
2. Total PAN produced per year as SLUDGE and that must be periodically land
applied (based on application with irrigation) = 3,226 lbs/year.
3. Totals gallons of waste produced equals 8,305,920 gallonslyear for a
total of 305.88 acre -inches per year. This requires the correct equipment and

DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY
Date: February 1, 2002
To: Wilmington Files (Animal Facility No. 31-48)
From: Jim Bushardt ,
Subject: Stocking Head Farm #2,Duplin County
The writer responded on January 30, 2002 to an advisement from
Mr. Derek Brown (910-275-0092 Home/296-0443 Farm), concerning a
release of swine waste at the subject farm. Mr. Brown had
informed the Division on January 30, 2002 of the release which
occurred approximately 5:30 pm on January 29, 2002. A visual aid
is enclosed which identifies the receiving stream and fecal
coliform sampling points. Fecal coliform test results are
enclosed. Based upon the interview with Mr. Brown and site
observations, the following statements/opinions are provided:
1) The pumped lagoon supports 4 - 820 animal finishing barns.
2) Mr. Brown actuated the spray irrigation pump (idling while
pipeline air escaped). After a few minutes, he noticed that the
output from the spray gun/reel system was too small. He began
looking for leakage within .the flexible hoses and hydrants. He
located a broken 6° irrigation riser pipe and then shut down the
pump. He estimated that the total lapsed time from pump actuation
to termination of power was approximately 5 to 10 minutes (7
minutes X 350 gpm = 2450 gallons pumped). Considering that the
reel/big gun was flowing some water but was located farther
distance from the irrigation pump than the broken riser, it may
be somewhat reasonable to consider that approximately 2000
gallons was released onto the ground.
3) The released volume flowed via surface drainage swale into the -
headwaters of Stocking Head Creek.

Stocking Head Farm #2 Memo
February 1, 2002
Page Two
4)Mr. Brown indicated that they contained as much spill volume as
possible within a Swale by blocking a culvert which connects to
Stocking Head Creek. A 3.5 hp pump was used (reported use for
approximately 35 minutes total) to transfer the contained swine
waste back to the irrigation field at a point adjacent to the
containment area. The writer observed the containment area and
temporary pump setup. Considering the 3.5 hp pump operating at
50% efficiency with a 40 ft flexible 2 inch discharge line, 35
minute pump run time, and a 6 ft elevation head & 40 ft dynamic
head, the writer calculated that a total of 5267 gallons could
have been removed from the containment area(almost 3 times what
was reported to have been released to the ground surface). Either
the pump flow was low because of a partially collapsed suction
line or the reported information (350 gpm X 7 minutes versus 3.5
hp pump operating at 50% efficiency with a 46 ft total head loss)
does not logically match up.
5) Second conversation with Derek Brown: Mr. Brown indicated,
when questioned, that farm personnel had to keep removing
blockages from the suction line of 3.5 hp pump while dewatering
the swale which would render the pump analysis results useless.
Fecal coliform sample results indicated upstream values of 96
col/100 ml & downstream values of 108 col/100ml. Based upon the
above, the writer could not prove that greater than 1000 gallons
entered surface waters and Mr. Brown was not required to provide
a media report.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 3148
Duplin 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. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLURI, 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. Ramsey:
This letter is to notify you of a small-scale swine wastewater treatment system that Brown's of Carolina,
Inc. and I am testina near Kenansville. NC. The system we are testing was designed "in-house" and a
small prototype (capable of handling 800 gallons, or one rush at a time) was built on Stockinghead
Farm located just off HWY 50 outside of Kenansville. The prototype was constructed in order to test the
treatment process and evaluate its capabilities.
The system in no way is detrimental to the existing waste management plan for this farm in that all end
products and by-products of the treatment process are returned to the lagoon. In addition, at any time,
the entire system may be bypassed by allowing all flush water and waste to go directly into the lagoon,
without flowing through the system. I have enclosed a schematic site plan of the prototype that better
illustrates this concept.
Mike Williams of the Animal and Poultry Waste Management Center has been notified of this project
and is in support of our efforts to develop this system into a possible altemative system to
facultative/anaerobic lagoons. I am currently pursuing involvement from North Carolina State University
in testing and evaluating the system and its end products.
This project is being conducted in a professional and scientific manner- Our testing and evaluation
procedures have no adverse affect on the waste management plan for this farm or the daily
management of existing waste management practices. If additional information is requested, please
feel free to contact me directly at the address shown above or Mike Williams at the "Center'.
Thank you for your time and cooperation.

Dear Greg Brown:
The Division of Water Quality modified the Swine Waste Operation General Permit originally issued to
this facility on October 13, 1997. In accordance with the issuance of the revised General Permit, we are
forwarding this Certificate of Coverage (COC) to Greg Brown, authorizing the operation of the subject
animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General
Permit AWG100000. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not
limited to, the management of animal waste from the Stockinghead Farm, located in Duplin County,
with an animal capacity of no greater than 5760 Feeder to Finish and the application to land as specified
in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2003, and shall hereby void
COC No AWS310048 dated October 13, 1997. The COC shall hereby incorporate by reference any
specific conditions of the previous COC issued to this facility. The purpose of this COC is to allow
coverage under the revised General Permit. Please review the revised General Permit (enclosed) and pay
particular attention to Condition IL 10 regarding tree removal from lagoon embankments, Condition III.1
regarding inspection frequency of the waste treatment, storage and collection system and Condition 11I.6
regarding notification requirements for system failures, spills and emergencies. Pursuant to this COC,
you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations
as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC, with no discharge of wastes to
surface waters. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and
operational information must be established for this farm. Any increase in waste production greater than
the certified design capacity or increase in number of stocked animals above the number authorized by
this COC will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and shall be completed prior to
actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the
General Permit or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance
with NCGS 143-215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive
relief.

Dear Mr. Shivar,
May 1, 1999
This letter is in response to your letter dated April 24, 1998, Notice of Violation,
Stockinghead Farm, No. 31-48, Duplin County.
Item # 1
As you know, during January and February, pumping was extremely limited due
to wet weather_ Since Brian's visit of March 4 h, the lagoon has been lowered to 26
inches as of this date. This was accomplished by applying on wheat planted on the farm_
The Waste Management Plan was revised to encompass more land already in wheat.
Our efforts will be to continue to follow the waste management plan and should continue
to lower the lagoon as we progress through the summer.
Item #2,
I can only state that this will not happen again. This farm is managed along with
company farms and when Jimmy sent lagoon levels to regional offices, Stockinghead was
apparently left off the list.
Item #3:
The "innovative waste treatment system" on Stockinghead Farm is a small-scale
prototype of a treatment system. We have received a permit from N.C. DENR to operate
this prototype system_ The basis for the permit to operate the system is that the waste
management for this farm was not altered by the operation of the prototype. All inputs
and products of the system are returned to the lagoon, as if the system were not there at
all. (Please see attached permit,) All data and observations of the system and its
operation are available, as specified in the permit.

Dear Mr. Simmons:
The Division of Water Quality has completed a review of your proposal and is in agreement that a
comprehensive study of the effects of the fixed film nitrification/denitrificatiori process on animal waste is needed.
Therefore, the Division will grant approval of this study without the issuance of an individual permit. However,
the following precautions must be taken to insure protection of water quality and the integrity of the existing
system:
1) Treated effluent shall be discharged into the existing treatment lagoon.
2) Residuals shall be disposed in accordance with the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
3) Results of any monitoring and observations shall be made available to DWQ at the end of the
research project.
4) Results and treated effluent shall be monitored for the following constituents.

This is a violation of General Statute 143-215. 1 (a)(3).
The Division of Water Quality may proceed to revoke Stockinghead Farm's permit unless the
following conditions are completed:
1. Immediately eliminate the discharge of wastewater and/or list actions to correct the noted

2. Make any and all modifications needed to ensure there will be no future discharges.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, you must notify this office in writing within seven
(7) days of the receipt of this notice, what actions will be taken to comply with your waste

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 acres 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 DW4 regulations.
Page: 1
� 'd Yid j : ; j j Aj 36-9 -M

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 ancL to. reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than
30 days poor to planting a crop or forages brealvng 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 wasto is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of 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 wasto 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
21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR ( gallons, ft3, tons, etc.):
5760 animals X 886 gal/animatlyear = 5,676,480 gallons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAII.A13LE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR Jibs):
6760 animals X 2.30 Ibslanimal/year =
13, 248.00 lbs
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.

"A negative number reflects the total Ibs of additional nitrogen needed to achieve yields on
acreage listed In chart. A positive number means additional acreage is required to utilize the
nitrogen produced by the fame.
NOTE:
This plan does not iriclude commercial fertilizer, The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
In the future, regulations may require fanners in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted folds (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), 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 reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
page; 3
AV C, : ; i i :ilk 36-9 -d5Y[

April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere
with stand of bermudagress. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and loss 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 the
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. Bemwdagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two Inches before drilling for best results.

'I WV J I 'H 96-9 -IVW

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 0.36 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year in the
in sludge based on the application method listed earlier.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 10368,00
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 34.56 acres of land. If you apply
the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 82.94 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
applications.
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 wator 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 property
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding tahla. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

`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 days of temporary storage.and the tompQry storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should. the volume of the
waste 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 Ulat the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
tho recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste, qpalysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

Dear Mr. Brown:
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].

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

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. 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 dint, 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.):
5760 animals X 985.50 gal/animal/year
5,676,480 gallons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (lbs):
5760 animals X 2.30 Ibs/animal/year =
3,248.00 Ibs
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.

•A negative number reflects the total Ibs of additional nitrogen needed to achieve yields on
acreage listed in chart. A positive number means additional acreage is required to utilize the
nitrogen produced by the farm.
NOTE:
This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), 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 reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately 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
Page: 3

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 the
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 cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

Acres shown in the preceding table are considered to be the usable acres excluding

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
Page: 4

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 0.36 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year in the
in sludge based on the application method listed earlier.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 10368.00
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 34.56 acres of land_ If you apply
the sludge to com at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 82.94 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
applications.
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 the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste 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 responsiability 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 the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.
Additional Comments:
Grower may alternate the 35 acres of corn in any area of field #2 or #3 using the same application
rates. Grower may also utilize small grain hay or grazed after corn crop at a rate of 50 Ibs Nlacre.
Grower may replace acreage of corn with wheat -soybean rotation which will utilize more N, but
cannot have more than 35 acres of corn. 2,rs e- P,, y� a �_ �;�x,t✓ �i 4 S 2 z A<,r"s

2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either o«zts or has a notarized agreement for us, -
of adequate Iand on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does rot own adequate land to properly
dispose of waste, he/she saall proNzde a copy of a notarized agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable
proximity. allowing bier the use of the land for waste application. It is t11e responsibility of the owner of the

System Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation
conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates
change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular,
pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use,
nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the
discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the
design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the
application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the
sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged
intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating
below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity.
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every
three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at
several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to
collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because
they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount
without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets,
jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided
the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring.
For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly
throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling
guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction
of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both
sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all
nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers
of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation
dealer or technical specialist for assistance.
'Reprinted for Certification Training for Operations of Animal Waste Management Systems Manual

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
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 periods when the
receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are
extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means
that at the first signs of plant 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 fall 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.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to
irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods.
Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of
state law and subject to penalty action.
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam.
Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to
maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be
based on a soils 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 10-10-10, 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 ve-etation is controlled by spraying, 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 be
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

Lagoon surface ---look for:
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment ---look for:
1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability ---slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat
of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert_ Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps ---check for proper operation of:
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. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be
coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the Iaoon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
1. adequate vegetation
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 Ievel of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining.
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon
liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the
addition of wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below
7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid
PH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended
if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm
season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are
optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained
and recharged each day, also work well.

Practice water conservation ---minimize building water usage and
spillage from Ieaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance and water conservation.
Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This
will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon
Management:
Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and
the full temporary storage level.
Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on
nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage
will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly,
irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winter.
The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest
point of the dam �or embankment.
Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage
level unless you are removing sludge.
Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid
surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment.
Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is
full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a
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 appropriately designed basin, or
minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into Iiquid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader
onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be
removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the Iagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it
should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.

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

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
------------------------------
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment with minimum odor
control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be
reached may vary due to soil conditions,flushing operations, and
the amount of fresh water added to the system.
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set,
center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be
taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field or damage
to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre -
charged to 112 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be
covered with effluent at all times.
2. The attached waste util,,zation plan shall be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B)
before land application.
3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva-
tion 0.0 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump -out when
the fluid level reaches elevation 0.0 or before fluid depth is
lass than 5 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable
bacteria) .
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.4
inch per hour.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the
lagoon mowed annually. `vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintain a vigorous stand.
5. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable
outlets.
8. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department_ of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ-
mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
Clearing:
All trees and brush shall be 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)
foor_. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The.
foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before placement of
embankment material.
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 not be placed
in standing water and reasonable compaction of the fills 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 (1) foot below grade and backfilled and
compacted with a suitable material (ie-Ci,SC,CH). Refer to the soils
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 small be
sesded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after
construction.
