These esti mates are based on average n itrogen concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column. Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent, At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied. Sites mu st first be eva lu ated for thei r suitab ility for s ludge applicat ion, Id ea Ily, eff! uent spray fi eld s shoul d not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern.

The 1p�ant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of com ni ercia I fertil izer req uired for the crops in the fields % herE� WFIste is to be applieed, 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 balanoed for realisbc yields of the crop t3 be grown. Several factors are important In Im plem erting your wasto uWzatlion plan in order to m a)dm ize 1he fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in -an environmentally safe mann3r. Always apply waste be sed an the needs of the crop to be g rown and the nutria content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than te crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, a,id alailable water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With specie f p r e- cautions, waste may be applied to land emcling at up to ', 0 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Eitlier of these colditions 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 maDdm'ze the value of the nuYients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to tiare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting.

DEM USE ONLY: ACE# CONDITIONS AND/OR EXCE PTIONS TO CERTMCATION All statements checked apply to this certification: "X The 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 ftt the producer knows how to operate the equipment to meet the non-disdiarge requirements. 'Tbe waste management plan for this operation is based upon yields higher than what is now recom ended 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 oonstruction 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 pu mping ra dius my be needed to irrigate the entire fie] d. Extreme cau tion should be exere ised when applying waste close to ditches and wetlands to avoid any discharge.

'Me technical specialist must verify that all applicable operation sad maintenance standards and specifications c= be met. Existing systems are not required to meet design and construction standards and specifications. Although the actual number of animals on the facility may vary from time to time, the design capacity of the waste handling system should t>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 handle 300 hogs but the average population will be 200 hogs, then the waste management system requires a certification. This certification is required by regulations governing aLnimal waste management systems adopted by the Environmental Management Commission (EMC) on Der -ember 10, 1992 (Title 15A NCAC 2H .0217). CERTIFICATION FORM On the reverse side of this page is the certification form which must be subnu'ttW to DEM before January 1, 1998.

Box 29535 Raleigh, NC 27626-0535 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN DATE -YIAA19, 7 Producer: Tom Whitfield Locaton: 2954 NC 111 & 903 North Albertson, NC 28508 Telephone: 919-56"342 Type Operation: Feeder to Finish Number of Animals'. 1800 The waste from your animal facility must be (and applied at a specified rate to prevent pollutJon of surface 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 waste is to be applied, This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nubient. 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 utilizaltion 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 n eeds of the c ro p to be g rown and the n utne nt content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can ublize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltraflon rates, leaching potentials, caton exchange capacities, and available water holding capacMes. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre- ca utio ns, waste may be appl ied to la nd e rod! ng at u p 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 conditons 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 poll0on, the waste should be applied to a groOng crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting, Injecf ng the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce -odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through irrigabon for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you ch oose to inj act the waste in th e futu re, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for Injecting waste and irrigating waste are not the same. The estmated 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 sa mpli ng techniq ues, preparation, and tra nsfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis, This waste utilizabon plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

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 wil I produce approximately (,�'l 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 sludgq 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 slize, and organ'jc 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 JIZ feet of the top of the dike. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Page 5 If surface irrigationlisthe method of land application for this plan, it it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation cle signer to ensure that an irrigatJon 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 AgHment 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: A h4r-k&--� WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Plans and Specifications Page 6 Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge d u ri ng ope raton or I a nd a pplicat on. Any d isch a rg e of waste wh ich reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to a ssessm ent of civil pe n albes of $10,000 per d ay by th e Divisio n of Water Quality for every day the discharge continues. 2. The 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 hjmlher 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 Ubllzafion Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilizabon, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for reallsbc crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless th e re a re re gu latio ns that re st rict th e rat e of a ppl !cat o n f or oth e r nutrients. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternabve Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is u sed th e soil loss sh all be n o g reater then 10 tons per a ore pe r year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addifion to "Suffers' 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. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally filled cropland, When a pplied to co nservation ti [led crops o r g rassl and, th e waste may be broadcast provided the applIcation does not occur during a season prone to flooding, (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance. 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infil- tration rate such that runoff does not occur off -site 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall event, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a ma nn e r th at th e crop is not cove red with waste to a d e pth th at wo u Id inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 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 hold 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 p[antJng 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 9trips) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. An im al waste sh a 11 n ot be appl ied cl ose r th a n 200 feet of dwe I Ii ngs 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. Do m estic a nd i nd ustria I waste fro rn wash d own fac! lities, sh owe rs, 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 levei to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protectve cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If ne eded, special veg etaton sha I I be provided for these areas a nd and shall be fenced, as necessary to protect the vegetation, Vegetation such as tTees, 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 regufarly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 19. If a nima I prod u ction at th e facil ity is to be s uspe nded or te rm i n ated, 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, etCr, 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 applicabons of animal waste during the crop season. 22. H ig In ly vis1bl e m arkers sh al I be instal I ed to m ark th e to p a nd 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 alternabve 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 appl icatio n re co rds s h all be m aintain ed for thre e ye ars. We ste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five years, 24.

NC '7695-7613. AMIC—November 11, 1996 System Calibration Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and app ication rates change over time as eq ui�pment gets older and components wear. Inparticular, pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. Wi(h continued use, nozzle wear results in an increa�e in the nozzle opening which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing.the wetted diame(er. You should be aware (hat 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 crystailization 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 the� already have a graduated sca!e from which to read the application amount wit out having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used providea- 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 avera e application rate for all nonuniformity of the application. On a winTiess day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance. 0 Reprin ted for Certification Tra ining for Operadons of Animal Waste Management Systems Man ual 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 woWd 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) 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 bermudagra5s) or when there are extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm sea5on-in the summertime. This means that at t he fi rSt 5i gns of p lant growth i n the later wi nter/early spri ng, i rrigat ion accord i n g 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 bermuclagrass 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 solls test, but 'in the event that it is not practical to obtaln 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 ossibly twice in years th:it weather conditions are favorable for eavy 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: I . separation of joints 2. cracks or breaks 3. accumulation of sal(5 or minerals 4. overall conditicri of pipes Lagoon surface —look for: 1 . undesirable vegetative growth 2. floating or lodged debris Embankment —look for: I settlement, cracking or "jug" holes of 2. side slope stabilit�—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 la oons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong winds. Wese 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 exper( 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 r.-viewed by the technical expert. Any dig ing into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious undertaking with potentiafly serious consequences and should not be conducted unless recommended by an appropriate technical expert. Transfer Pumps —check for proper operation of: I . 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 "5urprised" by'equipment failure. You should perform your pumping system maintenance at a time when your Ila on is at its low level. This will allow some safety time should major repairs be requireg.0 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: I . 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. Drain ipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the end opthe pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining. 4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather). 5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. 6. Mainta.in a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of I 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 8A 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 I 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 in' -stalled. 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 rites 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 wiU ensure that the lagoon liner remains intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as possible. Sludge removed from the 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, - al ways have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value. The applicabon 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. JUN-21-99 10:24 AM AGRIMENT SERVICES INC. 12525682648 P.01 ROUTETO: NAME - LOCATION.

On September 11, 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 some erosion of the clay liner has occurred on the lagoon. Large cuts were observed in various sections of the outer dike wall of the lagoon. It is our concern that some of these gullies may become deep enough to cut through the liner material and sacrifice the integnty of the structure. It was also observed that waste has been applied to acreage not included in the certified animal waste management plan. As discussed at the. time of the inspection, the cuts should be filled with a suitable clay material, compacted and reseeded with an appropriate vegetative cover. USDA-NRCS requirements specify that all acreage on which waste is to be applied should be designated in the certified animal waste management plan. Waste application to field #1 should be discontinued until the situation is corrected. In addition, a crop rotation of soybeans and wheat should be added to the certified plan. Berms should be built around any hydrants located near field ditches, and the trees should be removed from the outer wall of the lagoon. 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. To remain a deemed permitted facility, you must notify diis offi= in writing within fourteen (14) days of the receipt of this notice, what actions will be taken to comply with your waste management plan.

DEM USE ONLY: ACIE# 3 1 - q 18 CONDITIONS AND/OR EXCEPTIONS TO CERTIHCATION Allistatem'eh6 Jheckid '— I' to this certification: app, t �0. ,-The ihstalldd irrigation system has not been evaluated concerning nozzle size, spray pattern, spacing, pump size, pipe size, etc. It is there .mongibil ity o f the producer to opera te. the system wi th the proper componen ts and to supp ly the required --rhamenance (o 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 ftt 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 INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERTIFICATION OF APPROVED ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR EXISTING ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS SERVING FEEDLOTS REQUIREMIENTS[PURPOSE In order to be deemed permitted by the Division of Environmental Management (DEM), the owner of any existing animal waste management 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, 1993. Pasture operations are exempt from the requirement to be certified. 100 head of cattle 75 horses 250 swine 1,000 sheep 30,000 birds with a liquid waste systan The certification must be signed by the owner of the feedlot (and manager if different from the owner) and by any technical specialist designated by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission pursuant to 15A NCAC 6F .0001-.0005. The technical specialist must verify that aU applic4tble operation and maintenance standards and specifications can be met. Existing systems are not required to meet design and construction standards and specifications. Although the actual number of animals on the facility may vary from time to time, the design capacity of the waste handling system should be used to determine if a farm is subject to the certification requirement. For example, if the waste system for a feedlot is designed to handle 300 hogs but the average population will be 200 hogs, then the waste management system requires a certification. This certification is required by regulations governing animal waste management systems adopted by the Environmental Management Commission (EMC) on December 10, 1992 (Title 15A NCAC 2H .0217). CERTMCATION FORM Oil the reverse side of this page is the certification form which must be submitted to DEM before January 1, 1998.
