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 waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre- cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWO regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 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 to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste 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 require- ments should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements �—' for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water. l��L•L•yliL•�►[•7��►�I_��li� l7[:Z:ZCel:�,[•]r;l The irrigation appiication 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. 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 waste being stored in your structure be within /- 7 feet of the top of the dike. L' WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Page 5 If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation de signer 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 amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid Call your Agriment Services representative for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to beginning the application of your waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION: SEE ATTACHMENT M WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Plans and Specifications Page 6 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. Illegal discharges are subject to assessment of civil penalties of $10.006 per day by the Division of Water Quality for every day the discharge continues. 2. Thp Local NRCS office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an updated 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, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the sail loss shall be no greaier than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves L r the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See FOTG Standard 393-Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 6. When animal waste is to be applied 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 %s prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climatc in North Ca: olina'' in the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance. p 92 cC ) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infil- tration rate such that runoff does net occur off -site or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during' application. No ponding should oeCUr in order to control conditions 9 conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application. S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall 2� event, or whin the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall ba applied on actively gro%wing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth Ciat would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should '' also be comJdered. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Page 7 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See standard 393 - Filter Strips) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right -of ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainage ways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge into water courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from wash down facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18, A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and and shall be fenced, as necessary to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Page 8 21. 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. 22. 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. 23. Waste shall be tested within sixty days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five years. 24. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina State regulations or other States' regulations.

Permenant start and stop markers shall be placed- in the field. The hydrants do not. signif a stop null mark. Hydrants have been placed to insure waste does not get sprayed on the traveler. When the system is first started at the beginning of a travel lane, the sprinkler cart should be left stationary for a period of approximately 15 to 20 minutes for 315 degree arc pulls and 7 to 10 minutes for 220 and 180 degree pulls, to apply wastewater to the end of the pulls, but never long enough to have any runoff When a sprinkler cart reaches the end of a pull a similar stationary operating time should occur, but again, ensure that no runoff occurs. The operator needs to be with the machine during these two operations to ensure that runoff is not occurring. Once some experience is gained on each pull, it will be easier to judge exactly how long to leave the sprinkler cart stationary before the travel is started. See calculations for estimated time of each pull. Each application of wastewater should be limited to a maximum of 0.75 inches. It is recommended that a flow meter be installed at the pump station so that the operator can determine the total volume of wastewater thai is being applied for' each irrigation event. If this is not done, be sure to know the travel time plus delay time so that the volume per pull can be calculated. At the pump, there shall be an air relief/vacuum relief valve and an adjustable pressure relief valve set to discharge at 5 psi above design pump discharge pressure. There shall also be a glycerin filed pressure gauge on the discharge side of the pump, a similar gauge located on the reel of the traveler and one located on the nozzle. These gauges shall be large enough to be easily read and should be protected from damage by installing a simple cut-off so that pressure is not on the gauge at ail times. At the pump there will be a non -slam swing check valve such that when the pump' is shut off, the pressure of the water in the pipe due to elevation does not place pressure on the pump. This will be in addition to the spring -loaded check valve at the pump that will be used for priming the pump. On the suction side of the pump, a hand -operated diaphragm pump will be needed to prime the pump. With the use of a gate valve at the pump, the spring loaded discharge primary valve is not needed. The gate valve when closed serves the same purpose. Pipe Installation All fittings should be Class 200 gasketed fittings. Harco and other manufacturers provide such fittings. The tees where the hydrants are installed need to be Schedule 80 (S x S x S) and the riser onto which the quick coupling riser valve is installed should be Schedule 80. It is recommended that a short section of pipe be installed beyond the end hydrant to be used as a trash collector. All hydrants should -be equipped with a large orifice air relief/vacuum relief valve. The air relief/vacuum relief valve will be I of 9 Lewis Smith Farm DWQ ID No. 31-324 Duplin County November 15, 1999 installed in the riser pipe and shall be rated at a minimum of 165 psi pressure. It shall be a minimum -of two-inch in size. If an air relief/vacuum relief valve is not placed at each hydrant insure that -one is placed on all end hydrants. All of the pipe will be bell and gasket Class 200, IPS, PVC plastic pipe and the fittings shall be. gasketed Class 200, IPS, PVC plastic such as those manufactured by Harco. The tees for the risers shall be Schedule 80, IPS, PVC plastic (S x S x S). The riser will be Schedule 80, IPS, PVC plastic. The. pipe shall be installed with a minimum of 34-inches of soil cover over the pipe. This will mean a minimum trench of 40 inches. Concrete thrust blocks will be used at all tees, ells and gate valves in the system. See calculations for thrust block sizing. Either end caps or end plugs can be used. All turns (ells, tees) shall be thrust blocked, the gate valves will be thrust blocked as will the ground entry (see calculations). Maintenance There should be no land application of wastewater during freezing weather. The pump and the above ground portion of the discharge pipe and the suction line should be drained during freezing weather. The risers should be drained to approximately one foot below the surface during freezing weather. Ariy liquid in the pipe in the ground should not freeze. The simplest way to drain these pipes is to install a drain valve at the Iow point in the pipe, however be sure that the wastewater does not drain to a stream ditch, etc. Only about 25-30 gallons of water need to be drained. Check the air relief/vacuum relief valves at least a couple of times per year to see that they are operating properly and are not leaking. It is recommended that a ring of concrete (6 inches deep, two feet square) be poured around the top of each riser. Check this at least once per year to see if there is any cracking. Check the hose, reel, chain, and speed compensation at least twice per year to ensure that there is not excessive wear and that the speed compensation is operating properly. Lubricate the traveler as recommended by the manufacturer. Wash down the "traveler and the pump at least once per year to reduce corrosion. If the pump is disconnected from the Z-pipe, cover the ends of the pump and the Z- Pipe- Check for leaks each time an application of wastewater is made. Repair any leaks immediately. When the traveler is not being used, store in a shelter to prevent damage to the hose from sunlight. Record Keening & System Operation Evaluation Accurate records should be maintained on all land application of wastewater. The two forms IRR-1 and IRR-2 which are contained in the Certification Training for Operators of Animal Waste Management Systems Manual which operators received when they attended the operator certification training are excellent for this use. This allows the operator to record when the system was operated, the length of time and the amount of effluent applied. These records need to be maintained for five years. This includes pumping records and also lagoon level records. Senate Bill 1217 also requires that the soil be 2 of 9 Lewis Smith Farm DWQ ID No. 31-324 Dupiin County November 15, 1999 sampled annually within 60 days of land application. It is suggested that the lagoon be sampled quarterly. The irrigation system should be operated in daylight hours and in conditions where wind speeds are less than 10 mph. Each time the system is operated, the operator should check for leaks, malfunctioning sprinklers or pump or any other things that might affect system uniformity. The system should not be operated during freezing weather. With this system there should be a minimum of maintenance. The motor and pump require little maintenance except for draining the pump during freezing weather and checking the sprinkler for nozzle wear or proper rotation. If the pump has a packing seal it may need to be adjusted so -that leakage is not excessive. The leakage should be piped back to the lagoon. There should be a pressure gauge at the pump, one at the reel, and one on the sprinkler in the field. This will allow the operator to ensure that there is adequate pressure on the sprinkler in the field. There is also a requirement that an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) be prepared for the farm. Details of the EAP are given in Chapter 5, of the Certification Training for Operators of animal Waste Management Systems Manual. This plan deals with lagoon overflow, runoff from waste application fields, leakage from the waste distribution system and leakage from the base or side walls of the Iagoon. All of the items in the EAP are common sense things to do if there is a problem. All farm workers need to be familiar with the plan and how to respond if an emergency occurs. " Each farm will receive two inspections per year, one compliance inspection from the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), and one operational inspection from the NC Division of Soil and Water Conservation (DSWC). Both inspections will use the same forms.. Items that are not in compliance with the Waste Management Plan can be cited as violations. It is important that the Waste Management Plan be implemented and followed. The system should be evaluated annually using the procedures developed by specialist at North Carolina State University. The evaluation brochures are available through the local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service Office. 3 of 9 j Lewis Smith Farm DWQ ID No. 31-324 Duplin County November 15, 1999 Animal Waste Management Plan Certification (Please type or print all information that does not require a signature) Existing or New or Expanded (please circle one) Existing General Information: Name of Farm: Lewis Smith Farm Facility No: 31-324 Owner(s) Name: Lewis Smith Phone No: (910) 293-6787 Mailing Address: 336 John Lewis Gradv Road, Mount Olive North Carolina 28356 Farm Location: County Farm is Located in: Duplin Latitude and Longitude 35 07 35 / 77 55 58 Please attach a copy of a county road map with location identified and describe below (Be specific, road names, directions, mileposts, etc.): North on 1507 from 1500 approximately L I mules on rth right approximately 2200 feet behind house.

Simpler to operate ... the smooth operation of the six speed gearbox eliminates the need for multipfe belts and pulleys while providing a full range of operating speeds. Within a high and low range there are three speeds for increased preci- sion and accuracy in con- trolling application rates. Knowing and controlling your application rates have become crucial wastewater Six speed gearbox management tools when trying to adhere to ever increasing regulations. Each model is available with the standard 5.5 HP Honda engine or the efficient Pelton Wheel slurry turbine. The Pelton Wheel turbine is the ideal drive system for applying wastewater or slurry from holding areas such as tanks and/or lagoons. The Pelton Wheel turbine can be mechanically compensated for accurate applications or equipped with the optional Irrigation Pelton Wheel slurry turbine Computer. This improved design only starts with the drive system. Other enhancements include: • A constant pressure automatic braking system which increases tension when the hose is being pulled out but reverts to lighter tension as the hose is being retrieved. • A positive action lock down. When engaged, this simple brake will lock the reel in place when shifting the gearbox to neutral, as well as secure the reel for transport when. desired. • A miswind sensor. Should a miswind irregularity ever occur, this sensor will automatically disengage the drive, protecting the Reel Rain from damaoe- • Large selection of models.

There are a number of machines that can be used to prepare the trench for PVC plastic pipe. Soil types, moisture content,.depth of trench required and type and diameter of pipe must be considered. Generally chain trenches, wheel trenches,-backhaes, or vibrating plows will be used for trench preparation.. The vibrating plow can only be used for solvent weld PVC pipe and generally is limited to the smaller diameter of pipe. finder most conditions the chain trencher or wheel trencher will be faster than the backhoe. Where wide trenches for large pipe are required, the backhoe will be most satisfactory. If soil conditions permit, long stretches of open trench will expedite pipe installation. However, if rain is forecast the pipe should be installed and the trench backfilled.. To avoid sharp turns in the line at obstructions, trenches should be curved within limits of curvature of the pipe. -7- r irrigation Water Conveyance High -Pressure, Underground, Plastic Pipeline Specifications Irs;tsllstfon Minimum dollar of covr:r Pipe shall be installed at suffi- cient depth below the ground surface to provide protection from hazards imposed by traffic crossings, farming opera- tions, freezing temperatures, or soil cracking.

The minimum cover for polyethylene pipe is 6 in but may be reduced to 2.in where eonditiorts warrant. The minimum cover for PVC pipe in cranberry bogs, where the pipe is to be protected from freezing after winter flooding, shall be 12 in, N the winter flood equals or exceeds 12 in. Where the winter flood is less than 12 in, the top of the pipe shall be at least 24 in below the water surface. Solvent -welded joints shall be used M all connections of PVC pipe where peat and muck exist in their normal iayersd pattern. Rubber . gasket joints may be used following normal bedding proce- dures where coarse sand or cement layers exist At low places on the ground surface, extra fill may be Placed over the pipeline to provide the minimum depth of cover. The top width of the fill shall then be no less than 10 tt and the side slopes no steeper than 6.1. tt extra protec- tion is needed at vehicle crossings, encasement pipe or Other approved meths may be used. Trench construction. The trench at any point below the top of the pipe shall be only wide enough to permit the pipe to be easily placed and joined and to allow the initial backfill raterial to be uniformly placed under the haunches and along the side of the pipe. The maximum trench width shall be 36 in greater than the diameter of the pipe. It the trench is precision excavated and has a semicircular bottom that closely fits the pipe, the width shall not exceed the outside diameter of the pipe by more that 10 percent. The trench bottom shall be uniform so that the pipe lies on the bottom without bridging. Ctodsi rocks, and uneven spats that can damage the pipe or cause nonuniform sup- port shall be removed. If rocks, boulders, or any other material that can damage the pipe are encountered, the trench bottom shall be under- cut a minimum of 4 in below final grade and filled with bed- ding material consisting of sand or compacted fine-grained soils. Pipelines having a diameter of '/2 through 21h in that are to be placed in areas not subject to vehicular loads and in soils that do not crack appreciably when dry may be placed by using "plow -in" equipment instead of conventional trenching. Provisions shall be made to insure safe working condi- tions where unstable soil, trench depth, or other conditions can be hazardous to personnel working in the trench. Placement. Care shall be taken to prevent permanent dis- tortion and damage when handling the pipe during unusu- ally warm or cold weather. The pipe shall be allowed to come within a tow degrees of the temperature it will have after $ is completely covered before placing the backfll, other than that needed for shading, or before connecting the pipe to other facilities. The pipe shall be uniformly and continuously supported over its entire length on firm stable material. Blocking or mounding shall not be used to bring the pipe to final grade. For pipe with bell joints, bell holes shall be excavated in the bedding material. as needed. to allow for unobstructed assembly of the joint and to permit the body of the pipe to be in contact with the bedding material throughout its length. Joints and connections. All joints and connections shall be designed and constructed to withstand the design maxi-. mum working pressure for the pipeline without leakage and to leave the inside of the line free of any obstruction that may tend to reduce its capacity below design requirements. All fittings, such as couplings, reducers, bends, tees, and crosses. shall be installed according to the recom_menda- tions of the pipe manufacturer Fittings made of steel or other metals susceptible to cor- rosion shall be adequately protected by being wrapped with plastic tape or by being mated with a substance that has high corrosiorrpreventative qualities. If plastic tape is used, all surfaces shell be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a primer compatible with the tape before wrapping. Thrust blocks. Thrust blocks must be formed against a solid hand -excavated trench wall undamaged by mechani- cal equipment. They shall be constricted of concrete, and the space between the pipe and trench wall shall be filled to the height cif• the outside diameter of the pipe or as spec- ified by the manufacturer. Tesdrig. The pipeline shall be tested for pressure strength. leakage, and proper functioning. The tests may be per- formed before backfilling or anytime after the pipeline is ready tar service. SCS, January 1989 Irrigati-on Water Conveyance Tests for pressure strength and leaks sha;j be accom- plished by inspecting the pipeline and appurtenances while the maximum working pressure is maintained and all joints and connections are uncovered, or by observing normal operation of the pipeline after it is put into service_ Partial backfills needed to hold the pipe in place during testing shall be placed as specified in "Initial Backfill." Any leaks shall be repaired and the system retested. The pipeline shall be tested to insure that it functions properly at design capacity. At or below design capacity there shall be no objectionable flow conditions. Objectiona- ble flow conditions shall include water hammer, continuing unsteady delivery of water, damage to the pipeline, or detri- mental discharge from control valves. • Initial backfill. Hand, mechanical, or water packing meth- ods may be used. The initial backfill material shall be soil or sand that is free from rocks or stones larger than 1 in. in diameter. At the time of placement, the moisture content of the material shall be such that the required degree of compaction can be obtained with the backfill method to be used. The initial backfill material shall be placed so that the pipe will not be displaced. excessively deformed. or damaged. If backfitiing is done by hand or mechanical means, the initial fill shall be compacted firmly around and above the pipe as required to provide adequate lateral support to the pipe.-' If the water packing method is used, the pipeline First shall be filled with water. The initial backfill before wetting shall be of sufficient depth to insure complete coverage of the pipe after consolidation. Water packing is accomplished by adding enough water to diked reaches of the trench to thoroughly saturate the initial backfill without excessive pooling. After the backfill is saturated, the pipeline shall remain full until after the final backfill is made. The wetted fill shall be allowed to dry until firm before beginning the final backfill. Final backfill.-The final backfill material shall be free of large rocks, frozen clods, and other debris greater than 3 in. in diameter. The material shall be placed and spread in approximately uniform layers so that there will be no unfilled spaces in the backfill and the backfill will be level with the natural ground or at the design grade required to provide the minimum depth of cover after settlement. (loll- ing equipment shall not be used to consolidate the final backfill until the specified minimum depth of cover has been placed. All special backfilling requirements of the pipe manufac- turer shall be met. Basis of acceptance. The acceptability of the pipeline shall be determined by inspections to check compliance with all the provisions of this standard with respect to the design of the line, the pipe and pipe marking, the appurte- nances. and the minimum installation requirements. certifications and guarantee. If requesm-d by the state conservation engineer, a qualified testing laboratory must certify with supporting test results that the pipe meets The requirements specified in this standard. The seal of approval of a recognized laboratory on pipe bearing one of the ASTM designations listed in this standard may be accepted for this certification. The installing contractor shall certify that his or her instal- lation complies with the requirements of this standard. He or she shall furnish a written guarantee that protects the owner against defective workmanship and materials for not less than 1 year.

Technical Specialist certifying waste management plans after September 1, 1996, must also certify that operators have been provided calibration and adjustment guidance for all land application equipment The rules apply to irrigation sys- tems as well as all other types of liquid, slurry, or solid application equipment Information presented in manufacturers' charts.are based on average op- erating conditions for relatively new equipment Discharge rates and applica- tion rates change over time as equipment ages and components wear_ As a result, equipment should be field calibrated regularly to ensure that applica- tion rates and uniformity are consistent with values used during the system design and given in manufacturers' specifications. Field calibration involves collection and measurement of the material being applied at several locations in the application area. This publication contains step-by-step guidelines for field calibration of hard hose and cable tow traveler irrigation systems. Operating an irrigation system differently than assumed in the design will alter the application rate, uniformity of coverage, and subsequently the applica- tion uniformity_ Operating with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening, which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter. Clogging of nozzles or crystallization of main lines can result in increased pump pressure but reduced flow at the gun_ Plugged intakes will reduce operating pressure. An operating pressure below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. Feld calibration helps ensure that nutri- ents from animal waste are applied uniformly and at proper rates. The calibration of a hard hose or cable tow system involves setting out collection containers, operating the system, measuring the amount of wastewater collected in each container, and then computing the average application volume and application unifor- mity- An in -line flow meter installed in the main irrigation line provides a good estimate of the total volume pumped from the lagoon during each irriga- tion cycle. The average application depth can be determined by dividing the pumped volume by the application area. The average application depth is computed from the formula Average application depth (inches) w Volume pumped (gallons) 27,154 (gal/ac-in) X Application area (awes) The average application depth is the average amount applied throughout the field- Unfortunately, sprinklers do not apply the same depth of water throughout their wetted diameter - Under normal operating conditions, application depth decreases towards the outer perimeter of the wetted diametet. Big gun sprinkler systems typically have overlap c based on a design sprinkler spacing of 70 to 80 percent of the wetted sprinkler diameter to comnen- N Field Calibration Procedures for Animal Wastewater Application Equipment sate for the declining application along the outer perimeter. When operated at the design pressure, this overlap results in acceptable application uniformity. When operated improperly, well -designed systems will not provide acceptable application uniformity. For example, if the pressure is too low, the applica- tion depth will be several times higher near the center of sprinkler and water will not be thrown as far from the sprinkler as indicated in manufacturers' charts. Even through the average application depth may be acceptable, some aieas receive excessively high application while others receive no application at all. When applying wastewater high in nutrients, it is important to determine the application uni,fomaity. Collection containers distributed throughout the application area must be used to evaluate application uniformity. Many types of containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application uniformity. Standard rain gauges work best and are recom- mended because they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application depth. Pans, plastic buckets; jars, or anything with a uniform openinj and cross section can be used provided the container is deep enough (at least 4 inches deep) to prevent splash and excessive evapora- tion, and the liquid collected can be easily trans- ferred to a scaled container for measuring. All con- tainers should be the same size and shape to simplify application depth computations. All collection containers should be set up at the same height relative to the height of the sprinkler nozzle (discharge elevation). Normally, the top of each container should -be no more than 36 inches above the ground. Collectors should be located so that there is no interference from the crop. The crop canopy should be trimmed to preclude interference or splash into the collection container Calibration should be performed during periods of low evaporation. Best times are before 10 a.m. or after 4 pm. on days with light wind (less than 5 miles per hour). On cool, cloudy days the calibration can be performed anytime when wind velocity is less than 5 mph. The volume (depth) collected during calibration should be read soon after the sprinkler gun cart has moved one wetted radius past the collection gauges to minimize evaporation from the rain gauge. Where a procedure must be performed more than once, containers should be read and values recorded immediately after each setup. Calibration Setup for Hard Hose and Cable Tow Traveling Guns Hard hose and cable tow traveling guns are calibrated by placing a row (transect) of collection containers or gauges perpendicular to the direction of travel, Figure 1. The outer gauge on each end of the row should extend past the furthest distance the gun will throw wastewater to ensure that the calibration is performed on the "full" wetted diameter of the gun sprinkler. Multiple rows increase the accuracy of the calibration. Containers should be spaced no further apart than 1/16 of the wetted diameter of the gun sprinkler not to exceed 25 feet At least 16 gauges should be used in the calibration. Sixteen gauges will be adequate except for large guns where the wetted diameter_ exceeds 400 feet (Maximum recommended spacing between gauges, 25 feet X 16 = 400 feet) Gauges should be set at least one full wetted diameter of throw from either end of the travel lane, as shown in Figure 1. The system should be operated such that the minimum travel distance of the gun cart exceeds the wetted diameter of throw. Application volumes should be read as soon as the last gauges stop being wetted- 0 9 I, - .

The. higher the index value, the more uniform the application. An index of 100 would mean that the uniformity is perfect —the exact same amount was collected in'every gauge. For travelers with proper overlap and operated in light wind, an application uniformity greater than 85 is common. Application uniformity between 70 to 85 is in the "good" range and is acceptable for wastewater application.

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. ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. G. 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.) 2480 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 4712 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 2480 hogs x 4.6 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 11408 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 drop 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._ Sermudagrass 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 917.6 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the - sludge. If you.remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 4588 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 15.2933333333 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 36.704 acres of land. Please be aware that these are'only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25o depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There -must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of -the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393-Filter-Strip) S. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No.ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. Page: 13 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995.shall comply with the following: The outer.perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any.residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal.

Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste.shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharges directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should he 'inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. Page: 14 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will -eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption_ However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required .to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive.levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five ( 5 ) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Smith: A74 NCDENR NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCE5 December 30, 1999 Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping Animal Waste Management System Facility Number 31-324 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. IRRI, IRR2, DRYI, DRY2, DRY3, SLURI, SLUR2, SLDI, 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 (919) 733-5083 ext. 571. Sincere Kerr T.

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 waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre- cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 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 to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste 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 require- ments should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis_ This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (GALLONS, FT3, TONS, ETC.) 2880 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 5472 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 2880 hogs x 2.3 PAN/hogs/year = 6624 tbs. 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.

Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. NOTE: 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,!Q L. 5 - � pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting the sludge equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water. 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. 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 waste being stored in your structure be within J, 7 feet of the top of the dike. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Pag:; 5 If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation de signer 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 amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid Call your Agriment Services representative for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to beginning the application of your way te.

K MORTALITY MANAGEMENT METHODS (check which method(s) are being implemented) ( } Burial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours after knowledge of the death.

( } Any method which in the professional opinion of the State Veterinarian would make possible the salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering human or animal health. (Written approval of the State Veterinarian must be attached) 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 vegetation 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 lagoon 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 level 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: 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). 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. Management: Practice water conservation ---minimize building water usage and spillage from leaking 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 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 liquid 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 Iiner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as possible. Sludge removed from the lagoon 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 dam. 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 lagoon water is allowed 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.

DEM USE ONLY: ACE# CONDITIC' ` AND/OR EXCEPTIONS TO CEP' 'FICATION ATI statements checked apply to this certificat) Tlie installed irrigation system has not been evaluated concerning nozzle size, spray pattern, spacing, pump size, pipe size, etc. It is the responsibility of the producer to operate the system with the proper components and to supply the required maintenance to assure that no runoff occurs. The producer is encouraged to 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 upon yields higher than what is now recommended by NRCS; however, these yields are obtainable under high levels of management. This increase in projected yields is necessary since the NRCS plan prepared for this operation at the time of construction was based upon these higher yields and the producer followed NRCS guidelines when building this operation. Because of limited acres for land application, and because the original NRCS waste utilization plan did not require additional acres for buffers and irrigation inefficiency, it may be necessary for the producer to operate half sprinklers, on solid set systems, along field edges and ditches. Also for traveling irrigation systems, a pull directly adjacent to the ditch with only a 180 degree pumping radius may be needed to irrigate the entire field. Extreme caution should be exercised when applying waste close to ditches and wetlands to avoid any discharge. CERTIFICATION FOR EXISTING FEEDLOTS !NSTRIJCTIONS FOR CERTIFICATION OF APPROVED ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR EXISTING ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS SERVING FEEDLOTS ,U `REMENTS/PURPOSE n o. , to be deemed permitted by the Division of Environmental Management (DEM), the owner of any existing animal waste nanagement system constructed and operational before January 1, 1994 which is designed to serve greater than or equal to the animal populations listed below is required to submit a -signed certification form to DEM before January 1, 1998. Pasture operations are exempt rom the requirement to be certified. 100 head of cattle 75 horses 250 s,,Aine 1,000 sheep 30,000 birds Kith a liquid waste system he certification must be signed by the owner of the feedlot (and manager if different from the owner) and by any technical specialist esignated by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission pursuant to 15A NCAC 61= .0001-.0005. The technical specialist must verify .tat all applicable operation and maintenance standards and specifications can be met. Existing systems are not required to meet design nd construction standards and specifications. .Ithough the actual number of animals on the facility may vary from time to time, the design capacity of the waste handling system should e used to determine if a farm is subject to the certification requirement- For example, if the waste system for a feedlot is designed to andle 300 hogs but the average population will be 200 hogs, then the waste management system requires a certification. his certification is required by regulations governing animal waste management systems adopted by the Environmental Management omtrtission (EMC) on December 10, 1992 (Title 15A NCAC 2H .0217).

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 waste is to be applied. This waste utllEzatlon plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient Waste should be analyzed before cash 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 maximlxe the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner, Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than tho crop can utilize. Goff types are Important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and avullable water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre- cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year, Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, orwhen the surface is frozen, Llther of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWL2 regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avold drift and downwind odor problems. To maatimize 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 to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan Is based on waste application through irrigation for this is the manner In which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste In the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting wasto and irrigating waste are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient -content for this type of fadllty. Acreage require- ments should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility_ Attached you will find Information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 1 SA NCAC 21-11.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Wilmington, NC 28405 Dear Mr. Helminger, This letter is to address the 11/6/97 annual inspection that was conducted for the Lewis Smith facility (FN 31-324). Farm 31-324 had several deficiencies: 1. Absence of records for early 1997 applications to fields. 2. Cattle on bermuda field designated for bermuda hay. Mr. Smith contracted with Agriment Services after he had applied waste in early 1997 around January. We established record forms in March of 1997. Mr. Smith is aware that he must keep records of application for individual fields. He applied waste in November and properly recorded his applications on the forms designated for him. Agriment Services has re -worked the WUP changing the Bermuda hay to bermuda pasture. I hope this information will address the Notice of Deficiencies that were noted, If you have any questions please feel free to call. With Kind Regards, Ronnie G. Kennedy Jr. Technical Specialist Agriment Services, Inc. z j z 312 636 676 US Postal Service Receipt for Certified Mail No Insurance Coverage Provided.

Olive NC 28365 Dear Mr. Smith: 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 (DE", 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 (15ANCAC 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 Decembgr 31, 1997, New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must obtain signed cer-tification 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.
