and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or
other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that wil I be applied on each field in
order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is
included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

The following Lago �n Sl ud ge Nitro gen Ut ikation table provides an estimate of th e number of acres needed for
s lud ge'util =66 n for th� ind idia'te'd iccumu4tion period. 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. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also
be a concern -

The A va i lab le Waste Storag e Capac it� i�ble prov"ides' an est imate of the number o f days of storage
capacity available at the end of each month of the plan. Mailable storage capacity is calculated as the
design storage capacity in days minus the. number of days of net storage vo lume accumulated. The start
date is a value entered by the user and is defined as,the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in
th e plan at wh ich storage volume in the lagoon or hol ding po nd is eq ua I to. zero.
Available storage capacity sh ou Id be greater than or equa I to zero and less than or equal to the desi gn
storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage
c apac ity, this ind icates. that the p Ian calls for the app lication of nutrients that have not yet accumul ated.
If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design
storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval
in the waste uti lizdtio'n plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity,

manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during
operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface
water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to
properly app ly th e was te. If the producer does n ot own ade q ua te land to
properly dispoise'bf th6vVigte;, he/she"shall provide evidencebf an
agreement with a landowner, � wh o is with in a rea son a ble p roxi m ity,
allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an
update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the

strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field
Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift
from the land application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste
will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is
applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be
broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone
to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified
rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. 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. Injecting the waste or
disking wil I conserve n utrients and reduce odor problem E-.
This plan is based on waste application th,�ough irrigation for Ihis
Is the manner in which you hdve chosen to apply yourvaste. -If you
choose to inject the Wawa in the tuture, you need to rew'isie this

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 requilre'precautionary measures to prevent
over applicabon of nutrients or other elements. Your production
facility will produce approximately - 642 pound.,, of plant
available nftgon (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be
removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasling
the sludge equipment, may be needed whan you remove this sludge.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the u :11 iza tion 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 ru-noff or ponding occurs.
This rate is limited by intal soil moisture content, soil struc�ture,
soil texture, water droplet stre, and organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed the'evailable water holding capacity of the
soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen
applied exceed 1he nitrogen needs of the cop.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of Ornporary storage!
and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once ever
6 months. In no instance should the VOILIMe of waste beirg stored in
your structu re be within _L. Z feet of th a I or, of the dike.

If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it
it is the responsibihty of the producer and irrigation de signer to
ensure that an irrigabon system Is installed to propedy irrigate the

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, 000 per day by the Division
of Water Quality for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Local NRCS office must have &,cumentation 1i the di3sign fok�
the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land
to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own adequat�
land to prc-perly dispose of waste, lie shall provide NRCS with a Gop
of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable
proximity, allowing hImther the use of the land for waste application
for the Iffe expectancy of the production facility. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the facil ty to secure an upeated Wastf
Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in
the number of animals, method of utVization, or available land.

4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Reaource Vlanagel�ent
System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an i CS
is used the soil loss shal I i be no greater than 10 tons per acre per
year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves
the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "BuVers"
required by DEM. (See FOTG Standard 393-Filter EStrips and Stand rd
390 Interim Riparian Forest Suffers).
5, Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or dis�ing after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subje(,q to floi)ding, 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 seasor
prone to flooding, (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in
the NRCS'rechnical Reference - Environment file kr gu'dance.
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infil-
tration rate such that runoff does not oocu r off -site or to surface
waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site dui
application. No ponding should occur in order to cor,.trol conditions
conducive to odor or flies and to provide u n iform ity oil appl ia3tion.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated so4s, during rainfali
event, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in auch 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 shoi
also be considered.

10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leachi�ig. Miste
nutrient loading rates on these soils should be hold b) a minimum
and a sutable winter cover crop plant,.-d to take up roleased
nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to
p�anfing of a crop on bare soit.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feat to surface
water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are no" perenn
provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present (See gtanclarc
393 - Filter Sthps)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 faet to wells.
13. An im a[ wEiste shal I not be appl ied closer than 200 f �et of dwel I ings

15. Animalwaste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainage
or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Anime I waste may be
applied to prior converted wetlands pr.Dvided they haie beer,
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist'.
Animal waste -should not be applied on grassed waterways that disot
into water courses, excepi when applied at agronomi.- rates and the
apphimbon causes no runoff or drift from the site.
00 16. Domestic and ind ustrial waste from wash down faci ities, showers,
toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the an'mal w�iste
management system,
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment a-Tuctures must r aintain
a m wdrn urn operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-yea
24-hour storm event in addition to one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18, A proteGfive cover of appropriate vegetation will be ostablishad on
all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.).
If needed, spedial 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
I im ited to areas where considered appropriate. Lago )n areas shou Ic be
kept mowed and accessible.! Lagoon berms and struotures should Ix
inspected regularly for evidence of eirosion, leakage or d !scharge.

official Fire Report completed by Nationwide Insurance Co. The property
of importance to this memo involved the 1997 or 1998 Ford x Cab four-
wheel drive vehicle. This vehicle was the one driven by Roberto, who is
involved with Dennis Stroud and Tom Whitfield as on on -site representative
when land application events are taking place at the following facilities: 3 1 -
418,31-552:p3l-806 & 31-376. Roberto always kept a handwritten record of
the pumping events for these facilities and also a computerized copy
generated by Agriment Services, Inc. These records were totally destroyed;
however, all copies have been recovered and are being placed in new books
for Roberto to resume responsibilities.

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.

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).

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.

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.
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.

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

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

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

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

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,

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,

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.

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.

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 agronon-ic 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 fertihzers.
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. IRR 1, IRR2, DRY 1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR 1, SLUR2,
SLDI, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
comphance 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.

Dear Mr. Whitfield:
Secretary
. 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. Failure
to do so may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status, requiring it to obtain an individual non
discharge permit.

Dear Mr. Whitfield:
FE H N FZ
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.

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. Assistance in
completing the form can be obtained from one of the local agricultural agencies such as the Soil and Water Conservation District, the,
USDA -Soil Conservation Service, or the N.C.. Cooperative Extension Service. 'Me Completed form should be sent to:
