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. RECEIVED / DENR / DVVQ -Aq11ifPr Prmfar±�.,, o MAR 3 0 20-flIge 13 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATIOlf _zAN 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 page: 6 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION,_ AN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts. Tract Field Soil Type Crop Application Rate (in/hr) Applic.

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 Page: 7 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. Page: 9 WASTE UTILIZATION 4N 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 bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within Go days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. PH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. -23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

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.

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.

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 receive waste, 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 io be us-ed for the utilizaticn- 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 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 shown in Tables 1 arA 2.

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 prod ucer,and - wasto, applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply,the correct rates to. the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION Page: 8 AMIZAL WASTE UTINAZATION PL.�(N m Page: 9 WASTE UTIL12ZATION PLAA REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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 �im/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip) 5. Odors can be reduced by injec-i'.Ing the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should nz�t be applied wnen there is dang�r of drift from the irrigation field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No poncling should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be al��.�31JJO sDturata'd,soils, durin-g rainfall events, or when the surface is frciz�en. 9.

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 the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled containe;r for measuring, For stati on a ry s p ri n ki e rs, co I I ecti on co nta i n ers sh ou I d be I ocated rando m I y throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers.

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. e- 2.

DESIGNED BY.- PPPROYED BY, DATE-. DATE: &&Q0 Met QLA�J*, NOTE: SEE ATTAM WPM UTILIZATION PLAN _ 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.

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. enc: Sincerely, /-n, Steve Tedder, Chief Water Quality Section P.O. Box 29535, Rdeigh.
