3-/-/(//
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 water which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.��+
APR 0 6 Z009

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. 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.)
4896 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 9302.4 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
4896 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 11260.8 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.

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 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 1811.52 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 9057.6
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 30.192 acres of land.. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen.per acre, you will need 72.4608 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25t 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
Page: 9

amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

rates and amounts.

ANWIAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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
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 rate prior -to applying the waste.

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-the.re..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 maybe applied. -'to land that is eroding
at 5 or more- tons, but .Less than .1Y0 tons. per- acre per year
providing grass filter strips -fare -.installed where runoff leaves
the field. (See FOTG.Standard"3'93. Filter Strip)
5. Odors can be reduced by.injecting the waste or disking after:.`
waste application: Waste should not be -applied when there is
danger of drift from the irrigation field..
5. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled.-:...."..:•
cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or
grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application.'.',:'
does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather;.:

Dear Bobby M Sholar:
In accordance with your application received on 20-Feb-07, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Bobby M Sholar, 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 Bobby Sholar 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: 4896 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 III.19 does not apply.
Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the
conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An
adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information
must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design
capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a
modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either
wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is
a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay
careful attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit.

specifies that within 90 days, a plan of action must be created to document the sludge management
procedures to be used. DWQ has not received an adequate plan of action for this facility.
Attached is the Plan of Action for Lagoon Sludge Reduction form that is to be used. The form
outlines the compliance and reporting timeframes to satisfy Condition IV.16 of your NPDES General
Permit.
Please submit the plan of action within 30 days of receipt of this letter to:

Dear Sir or Madam:
On March 21, 2003, a representative of your animal operation informed the Division of

consist of one or more of the following: a civil or criminal enforcement action; an injunction;
and/or a requirement to apply for coverage under an individual permit. The action chosen will
be based on complete evaluation of all factors that resulted in the inadequate freeboard; the
actions taken to restore the needed freeboard; and the actions being proposed to prevent the
problem from reoccurring.
To assist us in our review, please provide the Wilmington Regional Office with an
evaluation of the reasons for the freeboard violation(s) and a strategy to prevent future freeboard
violation(s). This evaluation and strategy must include but is not limited to the following:

Dear Mr. Sholar:
Subject: NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY
Bobby Sholar Farm
Facility Number: 31-141
Duplin County
On June 18, 1997, Staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality
inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was observed that the lagoon
had insufficient freeboard.
USDA-NRCS guidelines require a minimum of one foot and seven inches of freeboard. This is based
on the amount of storage space needed to contain a 25-year, 24 hour design storm event without a discharge.
NRCS requirements also specify that animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops. And that
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 on bare soil.
The level of your waste lagoon needs to be lowered and maintained in accordance with the NRCS
guidelines and the state 2H .0200 rules governing animal waste management systems. In addition, as was
discussed at the time of the inspection, the lagoon walls should be mowed, and the fence posts in the lagoon
walls should be removed. We suggest that you contact your service company, local NRCS or Soil and
Water District office for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct the situation.

Subject: Bobby Sholar Farm
Facility Number 31-141
Duplin County
Dear Mr. Sholar:
On August 2, 1995 staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Environmental
Management inspected your animal operation and the lagoon serving this operation. Less than 19 inches
of freeboard was observed in the lagoon. The backside of the old lagoon needs to be seeded, and the top
of the dike wall needs to be reshaped.
The following corrective actions should be taken: The Natural Resources Conservation Service
(MRCS) guidelines for Best Management Practices require that animal operations maintain at least one foot
of freeboard, plus additional storage to contain the rainfall from a 25 year 24 hour storm event. This totals
approximately 19 inches of required lagoon freeboard. The lagoon should be pumped down and spray
irrigated on a suitable crop cover to maintain at least 19 inches of freeboard. Additionally, the old lagoon
dike wall needs to be reseeded and reshaped, as mentioned previously.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, all corrective actions must be made within seven (7) days.
Failure to do so may result in the facility losing its' deemed permitted status, requiring a certified waste
management plan and certification form for the facility to be submitted prior to December 31, 1997
. deadline, and being required to obtain an individual non discharge permit for the facility.

All statements below that are i.rduall:,d by a technical specialist apply to the att-ached cer-:ficanon:
The irrigation system has not been installed or evaluated concerning nozzle size, spray pattern,
spacing, pipe size, etc. It is the responsibility of the producer to obtain and operate the
system with the proper components and to supply the required maintenance to assure that no
runoff of pollutdiiu u,;,.urs during opciradon aia,! -U"az .:; astz is applies
By AI 9G (month/day/year) the producer should have an irrigation specialist, possibly
the dealer where the system was purchased, prepare an operation and maintenance plan for
the irrigation system so that the producer knows how to operate the equipment to meet the
non -discharge requirements.
The waste management plan for this operation is based on yields higher than what is now
recommended by MRCS; however, these yields are obtainable under high levels of
management and the farmer has supporting documentation to justify higher nitrogen
application rates.
All of the permanent vegetation required by the waste management plan has not been
established as of the date of this certification. The producer agrees to establish the
vegetation by f so 6 (month/day/year), and to provide a temporary small grain crop in
case some pumping is required prior to the establishment of the permanent vegetation.
The landowner is responsible for notifying DEM in writing that the stated work that has a compliance
date has been completed. This notification must be received by DEM within 15 days of the
compliance date(s) listed above. Please send verification of the properly completed work to: DEM

NAME:
{ OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
�iis 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. Irrigation by center pivot, solid set or
traveIer is the preferred and most efficient method to dispose of
the effIwent from the Iagoon. Care shouid be taken when appIying
waste to prevent damage to the craps and to prevent runoff from
the fields.
The fo I lowing i terns are to be c arr i ed out:
1_ E:egiri pump -out of the lagoon wher, fluid level reaches invert
of the outlet pipes or at a pre -determined elevation.
2'. Step pump -out before the lagoon depth is less that, 6 feet
deep or at a pre -determined ,depth. (This prevents the loss of
favorable bacteria)
L. The recommended amount to aPp� I y per i r'r i gat i c n i s une i rrc h,
and ma- -mum recommended application rate is 0.5 inch per hour.
It is r ec rnrnended thiat the treatment lagoon be prechar-ged to
its capacity to prevent excessive od,:-rs during be;I i nn i ng
stages of the operation. Prechar-g i ng reduces the concentration of
the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors.
Solids should he covered with water- at all times.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas around the lagoon
and buildings mowed.
6. Repai r ar,y -eroded areas and estab I i sh i n vegetat i on.
7. The Clean Water- Act -of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pQ i lutants into waters of the United States. The Department of
Natural Resources and Community Development (DNRCD), Wastewater
Management Section, has the responsibility for enforcing this
law.
a. A I 1 surface water- i s to be d i vented fr-ora the 1 agoon to an
adequate and stable outlet.
CERTIFICATION:
I hereby certify that I understand the operation and maintenance
requirements stated above. Furthermore, I understand how many
acres are required in order- to land apply the waste and that
the lagoon may have .to be pumped 2, or more times a year. Th i s
design has been explained to me and I agree with a I I provisions

OPERATION AND MAIN'TLHANCE PLAN
---------------------------
'This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and
180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned
fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be -reached may vary
due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount
of fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for:
(1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall After evaporation. Also
included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm far the location.
The volume of. waste generated from a given number of animals will be
fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess
rainfall will vary from year to year. 'The 25 year rainfall will not
be a factor to consider in an annual. pumping cycle, but this st -orage
volume must always be available.
A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from
building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to
begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation
to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established
to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth.
Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two
elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as
weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without
runoff or leaching.
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 damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre -
charged to 1/2 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 tines. When precharging is complete,
flush -buildings with 'recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not
be used for flushing after initial filling.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan 'recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment)
before land application.
3. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level
reaches the elevation 102.1 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump --
out when the fluid level reaches elevation 100.1 . This temporary
storage, less 2; yr- 24 h•r storm, contains 63657 cubic feet or
476154 gallons.
SHEET- 2 Ur' 2
4. 'The recommendE maximum amou37t to al)ply p irrigation is
one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3
inch per hoer_ Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details.
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.
G. 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. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around
waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will
not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a
residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a
manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
9. The Clean Water fact of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutalits into waters of the United States. The Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resolkrces, Division of rnvi•rorr--
mental management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.
SHEET 1 OF 2
SPECIFICATIOI: FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTES REATMENT LAGOONS
----------------------------------------------------------
FOUNDATION PREPARATION:
AMN
-----------------------
The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be
cleared of trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders,sod and rubbish.
Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from
the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on
the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the
lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior
to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond.
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT:
-----------------------------------
The completed excavation and ear•thfill shall conform to •the lines,
grades, and elevations shown on the plans. EaTthfill material shall
be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over
6 inches, in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent
they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill
shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9
inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer
will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading
equipment or standard tamping roller or other equivalent method.
Compaction will be considered Adequate when fill material is observed
to consolidate to the point that settlement is not •readily detectible.
NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER
SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be
installed using the more impervious materials from the required
excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for
settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment
capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC
Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation
from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike.
Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive
erosion and "sedimentation.
LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.6 ft.
---------------------------------------------------
NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS
INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS
ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER
IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN MINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT.
When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over -
excavated below finish grade to the specified depth.as measured
perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled
as specified to grade with a SCS approved material tie - CL,SC,CH).
REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL
CONSIDERATIONS.
SHEET 2 OF 2
Soil' liner materiz shall conic.? 'From an approve borrow area. The
minimum water content of the liner material shill be optimum moisture
content which 'relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded
in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water
shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content
during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner
material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement.
The n►aximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet
for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper
compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and
compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum AST)l D698 Dry Unit
Weighs: of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift
shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next
lift.
The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme-
ability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the
liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner.
The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an estab-
lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and
compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot
roller i.s the preferable type of compaction equipment.
The soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet
pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks)
or using flexible'outlets on waste pipes.
Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant.
When these are specified, additional construct -ion specifications are
included with this C;onstrUction Specification.
CUTOFF TRENCH:
A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when
shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the
cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation
materials.
VEGETATION:
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded
to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construc-
tion according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil should be placed
on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch
shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season
dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon
as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates.
REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS
-------------------------------
When tile drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum
of 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of -the dike. The file
trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as
SC, CL, or CH.

OPERAT'111 AND I*i )vg,fEIqANCE PLAN
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permarnent storage) and
180 days of temporary storage. The time -required for the planned
fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be -reached may vary
due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount
of fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for;
(1) waste from animals and (2) excess -rainfall after evaporation. Also
included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm for the location.
The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be
fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess
rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not
be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage
VOiume must always be avail4able.-
A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from
building (s) . If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to
begin pumping, a permanent ma-r6-;e-r must be installed at this elevation
to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established
to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth.
Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two
elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, Such as
weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without
runoff or leaching.
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
tak-en when applying waste to prevent damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended that the -treatment lagoon be pre -
charged to 1/2 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. When precharging is complete,
flush buildings with -recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not
be used for flushing after initial filling.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan 'recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment)
before land applicationi.
3. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level
reaches the elevation 102.2 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -
out when the fluid level -reaches elevation 100.5 . This temporary
storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains E7828 cubic -feet or
507351 gallons.
SHEET 2 OF 2
4. The •recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application •rate is 0.3
inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details.
5. Keep vegetation can the embankment and areas adjacent to the
lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized is needed
to maintain a vigorous stand.
6. 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.
S. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around
waste utilization fields adjacent• to perennial streams. Waste will
not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a
residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a
manner not to reach ether property and public Pight-of-ways.
9. 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 TRE&rNENT LAGOONS
----------------------------------------------------------
FOUNDATION PREPARATION:
------------------------
The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be
cleared of trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders, sod and -rubbish.
Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from
the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on
the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the
lagoon embankment and building pars shall be thoroughly loosened prior
to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond.
EXCAVATION AND f-_•ARTI-117ILI_ PLACEMENT:
The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines,
grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall
be free of material such as sod, 'toots, frozen soil, stones over
5 inches in diameter, and other objec:ti.onable material. To the extent
they are suitable, excavated materialscan be used as fill. The fill
shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed ?
inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer
will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading
equipment or standard tamping roller or ether equivalent method.
Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed
to consolidate to the point that settlenient; is not -readily detectible.
NOTE THE SPECIAL REOUIREMEMTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER
SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be
installed using the more impervious materials from the required
excavations. Construction of fill heights shall iy-&lude 5 percent for
settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment
capacity of 10 acre -feel; or more fail under the jurisdiction of the NC
Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation
from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike.
Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive
erosion and sedimentation.
LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL DE 1.5 ft.
NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS
INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS
ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER
IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT.
When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over --
excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured
perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled
as specified to grade with a SCS approved material (ie -- CL,SC,CH).
REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL
CONSIDERATIONS.
r SI kE ET P OF 2
Soil lii;er material shall come from an tiApproved borrow area. The
mininia_rm water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture
content which relates to that woisture cooitent; when the soil is kneaded
in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water
shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper rnoistu"re content
during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner
material shall not be less than optimum-, water content during placement.
The maximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet
for efficient arse of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper
compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and
compacted to at least 90 percent of -the maximum ASTIn D698 Dry Unit
Weight of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift
shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next
lift_
The single most: important factor affecting the overcall compacted perme-
ability of a clay liinrr, other than the type of clay Lks_ -d fo-r the
liner, is the efficient cone>t-ructio-n processing of the C:urlipacted liner.
The seq=_fence of equipm*:,ti"t; >_rse t�-iId "e "r_(:)LtE,ing of equip�iieist in an esterl�
lished pattern helps aSsu-re uniformity in the whole placement and
compaction process. F'ur ii-iost clay soils, a tamping or sheeps-foot
roller is the preferable type of compaction equipmeiat.
The soil liner shall be p-r-c;tectc.d From the diseha-rge of waste nutlet
pipes>. This can be done by (.rsi"r)g some type of energy d:issipator(-rocks)
o•r using flexible outlets on waste pipets -
Alternatives to soil. liners a -re siynthetic liners and bentonite sealant_
i+ihen -t:hesre are :sEJ�:`i.:i"f7.e�i, adoitio-nal co'nst-rLie ";"Lan spe(,:c'r''►catlons are
included with this Construction Specification.
CUTOFF TI;ENCI-I:
----------------
A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when
shown on a typical cross section in the plan.;. file final depth of the
cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation
materials.
VEGETATION:
All exposed embankment avid other bare constructed areas shall be seeded
to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construc-
tion according to the seedi.iag specifications. Topsoil should be placed
on areas of the diF:e and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch
shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season
dates for seeding. Flermanent vegetation should be established as soon
as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates.
REMOVAL OF EXIS-rING TILE DRAINS
When tile drains are encountered, the tile will be -removed to a minimum
3f 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile
trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as
SC, CL, or CIA.

Dear Mr. Shofar:
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 (919) 733-5083.
