APPLICATION METHOD:. Irrigation APR
ZY. 2
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 amountof commercial fertilizer required for the crops
in the fields where the waste is to.be applied.
This was�e utilization plan uses nitrogen as the 1 imiting 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.

5. wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for,pollution, the waste should.
be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30
days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste anal *
ysis 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 2M .0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons-, ft3, tons, etc.)
1440 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 2736 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
1440 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year m 3312 lbs. PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time
and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing,
hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed
when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle
should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four
inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed
for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small
grain to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermudagrass.- This loss of stand will result in reduced
yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than
cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as
is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small
grain earlier. You may want �to consider harvesting hay or
silage two to three times during the season, depending on
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late
September or early October. Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. , Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a
height of about two inches befor,e drilling for best re5ults.

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 532.8 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge. '
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 2664
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 8.88 acres of land. if you apply the sludge to corn at
the.rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 21.312 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by-25%- depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and 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 I and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and

-This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil
assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over
applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot
be �Lpplied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil
conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180.00 days of temporary storage and the
temporary Storage must be removed on the average of once every 6.00
months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in
your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot
of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to
ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the
correct rates to the acres shown in Tables I and 2. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may
make this plan invalid. '
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis
report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and
the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
NARRATIVE OF -OPERATION

WASTE UTILIZATION �_AN
RNUIREM SPECIFIC&ZI—ONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by
runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or
direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the
producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate
land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does
not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall
provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
facility to secure an update of the waste Utilization Plan when
there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
.animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
-level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict
the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Ariimal 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)
-5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is
danger of drift from the irrigation field.
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 flo ' oding. (See "Weather
and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at ratesnot 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-poten'tial for salt damage from animal
waste should also be considered. -
Page 1 8
WASTE UTILIZATION CAN
REg_UIRED SPECIFICAXIONS
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 other than
swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995),
shall not be applied closer than 2S feet to perennial waters.
(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,
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 be inspected regularly for evidence
of erosion, leakage or discharge.

REQUIRED SPEgIFICATIONS
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 pre -vent 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

reoccurring.
To assist us in our review, please provide the Wilmington Regional Office with an
evaluation of the reasons for the freeboard violation(s) and a strategy to prevent future freeboard.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-453
Duplin County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkecping 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 appropri ate recordkeeping forms (i e. IRR 1, IRR2, DRY 1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR 1, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any quesdons regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at (919) 733-5083 ext. 571.

Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients -in the animal waste
should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the
fields where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be
analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so
-that all plant nutrients can be balann�Bd, for realistic %,-ie!ds of the orop to be grot:un.
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.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching
potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding
capacities.
3. Normally waste s'iall be :�.,iplied t -, land eroding at 1.4.ss than 5 tons j--ar acre
per year. Waste may bL';�nplk- I -t-) lar, J er-:ding at 5 or mcre tcris per acre
annually, but less than 1 -, -,ons per acre pt;,,r year providing -chat 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 DEM regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
Page: 1
I AMMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or
applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking
dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce
odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to
change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different
application methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient
content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste
analysis report and volume of waste 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
1 5A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
1440 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 2736,tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILARLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
1440 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 3312 1bS. 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.

Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or winter annuals follow

In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing,
hay and/or silage. !,-.'here grazing, plants should be grazed
when they reach a heirgLz 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, dependings on -
time small gradn is pl.anted in the -f all.
The ideal time toL,-interbldht gn-ain, e=,; is late
September or early OciD-7�er.' Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed.or mowed to a
height of about two inches before drilling for best results.
Acreage figures may exceed total'acreage in fields due to overseeding.

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 532.8 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5years, you will have approximately 2664
Page: 6
ANIMAL WASTE UTI'—;ZA'rIION FlUAN
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 8.88 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 21.312 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and 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 irrigat ion syst em- is i--jta 1 le-1--to z properly, . i rrigat e . the-, acres

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 thesystern 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
u n i fo rm i ty.
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 yea ' rs 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
the4 already have a graduated sca!,e from which to read the application amount
wit out having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets,
j ars, o r a n yth i n g w ith a u n i fo rm open i ng and cro,,,5-sect i o n can be u sed p rovi d ed

Your aniael waste management facility has been desig,-�Pd for a
g4yen storage cap2city, When the waste reaches the designed
level, it aust be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or ground water. The plant nutrients
in the anioal waste should be used to reduce the aiDunt of
L,00vercial fprtilizer requirpd for the crops on the fields
where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan
uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should he
analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests
are encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for
realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Seyeral 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
envIroncentally 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 sore nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates and leaching potential, Waste shall not be applied to
land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. Do not
apply waste an saturated soils or on land when the surface is
frozen. Either of these conditions ray result in runoff to
surface waters. Wind conditions should also be considered to
avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value
of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or
not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste
or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. —
The acres needed to apply the animal waste is based an typical

Your animal waste utilization plan has been specifically developed
for your operation based on soil types, crops to be grown, and
method of application. Waste must be land applied at a specified
rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or ground water. The
plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the
amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops on 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 and annual soil tests are encouraged so that all
plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crops
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. The amount of available nitrogen for
plant use is dependant on the method of application. Soil type is
important due to different leaching potential and yield potential.
Waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per
acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or dh land when
the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may resu ' It in runoff
to surface waters. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid
drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients
for crop production and reduce the potential for pollution, w'aste should
be applied to a growing crop or not more than 30 days prior to planting.
Disking in the waste will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The acres needed to apply the animal waste are based on typical nutrient
content for this type of.,facility. Acreage requirements may be more
or less based on the waste analysis report from your facility.
Your waste utilization plan is based on the following:

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 (5ee 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
cove rs. T he vegetat i o n sh o u Id be fe rt i I i zed each year, i f n eeded, 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 so i I s test each year, t he lagoon em ban kmen t an d su rro u nd i ng areas
should be ferti I ized 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
os5ibly twice in years that 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:
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:
I . 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 vegetat ion w i I I red uce th e pote n t i a I damage cau sed. by wave act ion. I f
wave act i on ca u ses se rio us da mage to a I agoon s idewal 1, b affl es i n th e I agoon rn ay be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If our lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with c�esign 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:
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 frequentl enough so that you
are not completely "surprised" by equ ' ipment failure. You should p&Z rm your pumping
system maintenance at a time when your lapon 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
(wash ing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly.
You shou Id 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 la�oon 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
I an n i nq i rri gat i on app I i cati o n s and storage. I f yo u r lagoon ri ses excess i vel y, yo u may
ave an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
I rn med i ate I y afte r co n str u ct i on estab I i sh a comp I ete sod cover on bare so i I
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 dischar e near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
filling or another rneans Uslowing 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
liquidvolume. 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. Of add agri cu Itu ral I i me at the rate of 1 poun d pe r " 000 cu bic 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.
M
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 [ever (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 5trict 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 Removah
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be redliced 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:
Hfre a custom applfcator.
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 Ii uids can drain back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater, haul and sprea.� 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
atten t ion by the p u mper or d rag -I i ne operator wi I I ensu re that the lagoo n I i n er remai ns
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 shouldrobably e applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a so test, and rated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fiel=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 slud e will increase th e amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution shoulTbe 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 5tructure—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, da �e during sludge
m'atelow groundwater
removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level
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.
A LVA I :I;N :110 Iwo -AA 0 Is] 0 1 a WA 0
Using this outline as guidance, you should develop a specific emergency action plan for
your waste handling system. This. plan wi I I be implemented in the event that waste5 from
your operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off the site: You should NOT wait
until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to consider that you have a
problem. You should make every effort to ensure,that this does not happen. This plan
should be available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks could
happen at any time. Your plan should follow this format:
Stop the release of wastes. Dependi g on the situation, this may or
may not be possible. Suggested responses to problems are I isted below:
a. Lagoon overflow —possible solutions are:
add soil to berm to temporarily increase elevation of dam —any
permanent alteration of the dam should be approved by a
qualified technical . I' t
pump wastes to fiel at an acceptable rate
stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers) —hold waste in
house if possible
call a pumping contractor
make sure no surface water is entering lagoon
NOTE: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the
temporary storage level.
b. Runoff from waste application field —actions include:
immediately stop waste application
create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on
the field
incorporate waste to reduce further runoff
C. Leakage from the waste distribution system:
pipes arid sprinklers —actions include:
— stop recycle (flushing system) pump
— stop imption pump
— close valves to eliminate furthei discharge
— separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
flush system, houses, solids separators —actions include:
— stop recycle (flushing system) pump
— stop irrigation pump
— make sure no siphon effect has been created
— separate pipes to create an air &ap and stop flow
d. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often these are seepage as
opposed to flowing leaks —possible action*:
d1l a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a
sutmersible pump, and pump back into lagoon
if holes are caused by burrowing animals,trap or remove
animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil
other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil
*Lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual
experienced in the design and installation of lagoons for permanent
repair measures.

number, the details of incident from item 2 above, the exact
location of the facility, and the location or
direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind
conditions, what corrective measures have been under taken,
and the seriousness of the situation.
b. If spill leaves, or is likely to leave, property or enters surface
waters, call local emergency management services (EMS) at 910-296-
2160.
C. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department.
d. Contact local Soil and Water Conservation District
Natural Resources Conservation Service office at 910-296-212 11

OPEPATInN AND MAINTENVE PLAN
This lagoon is designed fur waste treatment with minirin idvr
cont-o 1. The tite required for the planned fluid level to be
reached may vary due to so;,! conditivns,flushing operations, and
the amount of fresh -water added to the system.
Land aopliration of w�te water is recoinized as an accePtable
method of disposal. Methods of application inrlude solid s�t.
center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Carp shou!d bo
taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field or.damage
to crops.
The following items are to he carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre -
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
�tart-up, Prp-charging reduces the concentratior of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be
covered with effluent at all times.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan rpeatmends saopl* and testing of waste (see Attachment B)
before land application.
3. Begin puip-out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva-
tion, 41q.9 a5 qar�ed by permanent markers. Stop pump -out when
the fluid level reaches eleyativn 47.1or before fluid depth is
less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable
bacteria) .
4. The recoeiended saximum amount to apply per irrigation is
one (1) inch and the recoaiended maximum application rate is 0.4
inch per hour.
5. Keep vegetation on the embaMBent; and areas adjacent to the
lagoon towed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any traded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in Vegetation.
7. All surface ruineff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable
outlets.
8. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of
Envirotiment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ-
mental Kanageient, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.
I
S'�IECIFICATIONS FOR CONMUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAMNS
All trees and brush shall be removed from the construction area
beft" any PxcavatirQ or fill is started. St,4mps will be reloved
within th9 area of the fokindation of the eibaT*.vent �nd f4lj arpas
and all excavated areas. All stumps and roots exceeding one (1)
inch in diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of one (1)
foot, Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The
foundation area shall be loosened thorough1v hPfure placement of
eibankmen' waterial.
Cut-off Trench:
A cut-off trench (when specified) shall be installed as shown in
the plans.
Construction:
Construction of excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed to
the neat lines and grades as planned. Deviations from this will
require prior approval of the SM. Earthfill shall not be placed
in standing water and reasonable caspaction of the fills shall be
performed by the construction equipment or sheeps-foot roller during
placement. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using
the more impervious materials. Construction of fill heights shall
include ten (10) percent for settleeent. To protect against seepage,
when areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will need to
be excavated a minimum of one (1) foot below grade and backfilled and
compacted with a suitable material (ie-CLSC,CH). Refer to the soils
investigation information in the plans for special considerations.
Precautions should be taken during construction to prevent excessive
erosion and sedimentation.
Yegetation:
All exposed embankment and other hare constructed areas shall be
seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after
construction.

Dear Mr. Brown:
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 desipate 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.
Thank you for your cooperation, If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 919/733-0026.

Dear NLr. Brown:
This is to inform you that your completed registrati6n form required by the recently
modified nondischar-e rule has been received by the Division of Environmental Management
0
(DEM), Water Quality Section.
On December 10, 1992 the Environmental Management Commission adopted a water
quality rule which governs animal waste management systems. The. goal of the rule is for
animal operations to be managed such that animal waste is not discharged to surface waters
a)
of the state. The rule allows animal waste systems to be "deemed permitted" if certain
minimum criteria are met (15A NCAC 2H .0217). By submitting this registration you have
met one of the criteria for being deemed permitted.
We would like to remind you that existing feedlots which meet the size thresholds
listed in the rule, and any new or expanded feedlots constructed between February 1, 1993
and December 31, 1993 must submit a signed certification form (copy enclosed) to DEM by
December 31,19 New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must
obtain signed cm.fication 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.
