The wage from this facility must be land applied at specified rates to prevent pollution
of surface and/or groundwater. These rates are based on soil types of the land to be Irrigated, the
RYE's of the soil, and the PAN required to efficiently grow the crops. crops in the fields where waste is
applied. This Nutrient Management Plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrierrL Waste should be
analyzed before each application cycle and per regulations. Annual soil tests are REQUIRED so that
nutrient requirements can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing this plan in ortler to mwdmize the fertilizer value of
the wage and to ensure that it is applied in an environrnentally safe mwnw, Fadors hicluded arw.
a. Always apply waste based on crop needs and the nubient content of the wage.
b. Do not over apply nitrogen.
c. Soil types are important because of different irifiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange
capacities, and water holding capacities.
d. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when tt is rainftig, or when the ground is frozen either of
which could lead to surface nnwff-
e. Consider wind conditions to avoid drift and down wind odor problems.
f. Waste can only be applied to actively growft crops or not more than 30 days prior to planting
a crop or to forages breaking dormancy -
This plan is based on waste being applied using inigation. If the application method is changed, this
plan will have to be revised because nutrient content varies depending on how it is applied.
Actual application rates should be based an the waste analysis report for this facility.
This nutrient management plan, if followed, ineets the requirements for compliance with
I SA NCAC 2H.0217 as adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

The nitrogen balam;e shown in table 2 should be equal to or less than 0 to fully utilize the nutrients
produced by the swine production on this farm. To produce crops at the RYE!s shown may
require the use of commercial fertilizer to balance fertiftuition rates in crop rotations. This farm is
producing 20,608 lbs. of nitrogen per year in the waste water and a 3,226
lbs- of n"en accumulates annually as sludge. To land apply the fiquid portion in an acceptable
manner requires the irrigation system to spread 8,305,920 total gallons
annually. This involves spreading 305.88 =firilywr uver the bmis 130.3

Equal applications during the appfk*ftn window are for optimum conditions. The total amount of
N allowed for the crop may be applied anytime within the application wh'tdow dumm as long as the
RYEIfor the crop is not exceeded. VVeaftw conditions or other factors may necessitate the waste
being applied during any given month within the appOcation window.
Summary and recommendations
1. Total PAN produced per year (based on land application with irrigation) that must be
accounted for in this cropping system equals: 20,608 ibstyear.
2. Total PAN produced per year as SLUDGE and that must be periodically land
applied (based on application with iffigation) 3,225 lWyear.
3. Totals gallons of waste produced equals 8.305,920 gallonslyear for a
total of 305.88 acre4nches per year. This requires the coned equipment and

Dear Lester Houston:
On April 28, 2003, ' the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the
Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General
Permit AWGIOOOOO. Therefore, the General Pem-iit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the
expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with
all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit.
In accordance with your application received on January 30, 2003 and in ac ' cordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Lester
Houston, a:uthorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system. in accordance with General Permit AWGIO0006. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS310478 which expired on April 30, 2003. -
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Lester Houston Farm, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 1240 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land as specified in
the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMT). If this is a Farrow to Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary,
they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you
are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAVRAP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals -
If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.

Narrative
This WLTP is written based on a two year cropping rotation.
The PAN on Soybeans has been reduced to accomodate a (GM) Green Manure Cover"If needed.
If a GM crop is soil incorporated as preplant the PAN in the table will be used. If the GM is not planted or
is harvested then 133lbs N/Ac mav be used on the Soybean crop.(see attached WUP dated 1/21/99 for
clarification)

Tile Waste Utilization table shown below surnmarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the
number of acres of cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to
be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the anlount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being
supplied by manure or other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and
liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A
balance' of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the
utilization of the manure generated by the operation.
Depending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over or under applied if animal
waste is being utilized. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste is being
applied. Soil tests should be used to balance the nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient
managernent plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when
excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of
acres needed for sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are
based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the facility and
the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column.
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remain -Me after treatment and application of
the effluent. At clean out this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at
agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is ruitrogen but other nutrients including
C;
phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high,
C)
application of sludge must be carefully applied
Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray
fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to
load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent
cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water movm'cF to streams and lakes, phosphorous

is a concern- Soils contain ng very high phosphorous levels may also be a concem.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of
storage capacity available at the end of each month of the plan Available storage
capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days nimius the number of days of
net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by.the user and is
defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at wl-dch storage
volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero.
Available storacre capaci ty should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to
the design storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than
the design storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of
nutrients that have not yet accumulated If available storage capacity is negative, the
estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the
structure, Either of these situationsImidicates that the planned application interval in the
waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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 that
reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to
properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land
to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence 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 waste production facility to secure
an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change
in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of
application, receiving crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen
needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available
moisture,, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of
management, unless there are regulation's that restrict the rate of
applications 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 eroding at more than 5
tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided
grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see
USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter
Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste
application, Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drif
from the land application field.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
439899 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 04-03-2002 Specification Page I of 4

6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding,
waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland.
When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the
waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur
during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in
North Carolina" for guidance).
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface
waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site
during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor
and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events,, or when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a
manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would
inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste
should also be considered.
10. Nutrients from waste 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.
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 canal. Animal waste,, other than swine waste from facilities sited
on or after October 1,1 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to
perennial waters.
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
439899 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 04-03-2002 Specification Page 2 of 4

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
the fields have been approved as a land application site by a -
"technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed
waterways that discharge 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.
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.
ig. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be
inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills.
A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and
other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal
waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only
be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste
during the crop season.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
439899 . Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 04-03-2002 Specification Page 3 of 4

21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste
treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid
level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the
maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be
tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are
applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other
restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients,
resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. 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 and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil
and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years.

Crop Notes
The following crop note apphes to field(s): 1, 2, 3
Corn: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leaching
In the Coastal Plain, corn is normally planted when soil temperatures i reach 52 to 55 degrees fahrenheit-
Review the Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding
variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 1-2" deep. Plant populations
should be determined by the hybrid being planted, Increase the seeding rate by 10% when planting no -till.
Phosphorus and potassium recommended by a soil test can be broadcast or banded at planting. When
planting earl,%, in cool. wet soil. batided phosphorus will be more available to the VOUng plants. An accepted
practice is to apply 20-30 lbs/acre N and 20-30 lbs/acre phosphorus banded as a starter and'one-half the
remaining N behind the planter. The rest of the N should be applied about 3040 days after emergence. The
total amount of N is dependent on soil type. When including a starter in the fertilizer program, the
recommended potassium and any additional phosphorus is normally broadcast at planting. Plant samples
can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the com. Timely
management of weeds and insects are essential for com production.
The following crop note applies to field(s): t, 2, 3
Double -Crop Soybeans, Coastal Plain: Mineral soil, medium leachable
Double -crop soybeans should be planted as early in June as possible with planting completed by July 4th.
When no -tilling soybeans in small grain straw. it is essential to manage the straw to achieve adequate plant
populations. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and infori-nation from private companies to
select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 2-4
seed/row foot for 7-8" drills, 4-6 seed/row foot for 15" rows; 6-8 seed/row foot for 30" rows and 8-10
seed/row foot for 36" rows. Increase the seeding rate by at least 10% for no -till planting. Seeding depth
should be 1- 1 1/2 " and adequate depth control is essential. Phosphorus and potash recommended for the
soybeans can be applied to the wheat in the Fall. Soybeans produce their own nitrogen and are normally
grown without additions of nitrogen, However, applications of 20-30 lbs/acre N are sometimes made at
planting to promote early growth and vigor. Tissue samples can be analyzed during the growing season to
monitor the Overall nutrient status of the soybeans. Timely management of weeds and insects is essential
for profitable double crop soybean production.

Narrative
This WUP is written based on a two year cropping rotation,
The PAN on Sovbeans has been reduced to accomodate a (GM) Green Manure Cover if needed.
If a GrV1 crop is soil incorporated as preplant the PAN in the table will be used. If the GM is not planted or
is harvested then 1331bs N/Ac may be used on the Soybean crop.(see attached WLTP dated 1/21/99 for
clarification)

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation, This plan provides an estimate of the
number of acres of cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced, Tile plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to
be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maxhmize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the arnount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being
supplied by manure or other by-prodUCtS, COmiliercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and
liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A
baimce of tile total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in tile table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the
utilization of the manure generated by the operation.
Depending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over or under applied if animal
waste is being utilized. Waste should be analyzed before each application cyqle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste is being
applied. Soil tests should be used to balance the nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient
management plans may require that the applicat.ion of animal waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when
excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field.

based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the facility and
the plant available ruitrogen application rates shown in the second column.
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of
the effluent. At clean out this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at
agronomic rates- In most cases, the priority nutrient is rutroggen but other nutrients including,
I
phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high,
application of sludge must be carefully applied
Sites must first be evaluated for their switability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray
fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to
load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper arid zinc so that additional effluent
cannot be apphed. On sites vulnerable to surface water movmcr to streams and lake� phosphorous

The Avadable Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of
storage capacity available at the end of earch month of the plan- Available storage
capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity 'in days minus the number of days of
M
net storacle volurne accumulated- The start date is a value entered by. the user and is
defined as the date prior to applyingr nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage
volume in the lagoon or holdir6cy pond is equal to zero.
I
Available storag ity should be greater dm or equal to zero and less than or equal to
ge capaci
the design storage capacity of the facility. ff the available storage capacity is greater than
the desi-an storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of
nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative, the
estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the
structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval in the
waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the stpacture's temporary storage capacity.,,

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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 that
reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to
properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land
to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence 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 waste production facility to secure
an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change
in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of
application, receiving crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceedl the nitrogen
needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available
moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of
management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of
applications 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 eroding at more than 5
tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided
grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see
USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter
Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drif
from the land application field.

6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to -flooding,
waste will be soil incorporated on conventionaffy tilled cropland.
When waste is applied to conser . vation. tilled crops or grassland, the
waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur
during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in
North Carolina" for guidance).
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface
waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site
during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor
and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil 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 wo ul d
inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste
should also be considered.
io. Nutrients from waste 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 -
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 canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited
on or after October 1, 1995,, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to
perennial waters.
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

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.
An imal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided
the fields have been approved as a land application site by a
"technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed
waterways that discharge directly into watercourses, 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.
0
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.
is, 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.
ig. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be
inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills.
A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and
other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal
%vaste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only
be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste
during the crop season.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
439899 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 044)3-2002 Specification Page 3 of 4

21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste
treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid
level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the
maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be
tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are
applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other
restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients,
resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. 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 and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil
and waste analysis records shalt be kept for a minimum of five years.
Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a
minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other
waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North

This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part. of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR I, IRR2, DRY], DRY2, DRY3, SLUR I, SLUR2,
SLDI, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.

Dear Lester Houston:
In accordance with your application received on September 27, 1999, we are forwarding this Certificate
of Coverage (COC) issued to Lester Houston, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste
collection ' treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit
AWG100000. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to,
the management of animal waste from the Lester Houston, located in Duplin County, with an animal
capacity of no greater than 1240 Feeder to Finish and the application to land as specified in the Certified
Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2003. Pursuant to this COC, you
are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC, with no discharge of wastes to
surface waters. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and
operational information must be established for this farm. Any increase in waste production greater than
the certified design capacity or increase in number of stocked animals above the number authorized by
this COC will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and shall be completed prior to

DATE: March 3,1997
FILE CODE: 2 10
I have reviewed the irrigation design prepared by Mr. Bdly Houston for Mr. Lester Houston's 1240 head feeder
to finish operation and recommend approval of this plan for installation under the NCACS program subject to
the following comments:
1, include an emergency action plan with the waste utilization plan. Also, include a soils map with the waste
utilization plan.
Show a scale, north arrow, lane spacings, locations of restricted areas, etc. on the layout sketch.
3. The working pressure of the system exceeds the recommended maximum 72 % of the allowable pressure of
class 200 PVC pipe. This could result in problems ftom water hammer and pressure surge. The designer
may want to consider a higher pressure rated pipe.
-4. The effective lengths shown by the designer appear to be too long. The designer should include no more'
than 60 % of the wetted radius at the end of pulls when calculating effective length. This will reduce the
amount of acreage shown to receive uniform coverage. This should be checked and corrections made.
5. 1 have corrected the horsepower computations. The designer used head in psi rather than feet as required.
6. A representative of the field office staff shall check the layout to insure the imigation system will not be
spraying into restricted areas such as state required setbacks, wells, homes, streams, wetlands, etc. The
layout shall include the location of the pipeline, hydrants, pump, and the permanent site post marker.
Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILizATiac ism
Producer: LESTER HOUSTON
Location: 190 LESTER HOUSTON RD
PINK HILL NC 28572
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Existing Feeder to Finish Swine
Number of Animals: 1240.00 hogs
(Design Capacity)
STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
APPLICATION METHOD: 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
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
S 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.
Page - 1

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION -.AN
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 bas * ed on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied.
Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements,
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
1240 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 2356 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
1240 hogs x 4.6 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 5704 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 before drilling for best results.

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 458.8 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 2294
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 7.64666GG6667 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 18.352 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 1 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 applied 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 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.

runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or
direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the
producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate
land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does
not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall
provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
facility -to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when
there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict
the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons
per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding
at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year
providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves
the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip)
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 flooding. (See "Weather
and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to
surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from
the site�during application. No ponding should occur in order
to control odor or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such
a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that
would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal
waste should also be considered.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially
important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and
wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the
receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are
extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime, This means
that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to
a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to
receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet
periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste
utilization plan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to
irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods.
Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of
state law and subject to penalty action.
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam.
Fescue or common berm udagrass -are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to
maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be
based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas
should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or
equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be
done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices. This should be done at least once a year and
possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter
the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating
the waste.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of
the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes —look for:
1 . separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall conditien 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 vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat
of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps —check for proper operation of:
1 . recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your pumping
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level- This will allow some
safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is ful I,
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be
coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:'
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height

Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours ' after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
1 immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining.
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon
liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the
addition of wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below
7.0, add agricultural lir�-,e at the rate of 1 pound per -.000 cubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid
pH is between 7.5 and -8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist i's recommended
if thes6l 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.

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
Management:
maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and
the full temporary storage level.
Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on
nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage
will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly,
irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winter.
The lagoon liquid level �hould never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest
point of the dam or embankment.
Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage
level unless you are removing sludge.
Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid
surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
Frequently� remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
Maintain strict �iegetatioq, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges
0
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment.
Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is
full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal: I
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:

I �
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 annuatly rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader
onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the, method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you shduld
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be
removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it
should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe thewind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.

Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types
of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the
dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring structure safety. Items which.may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification of the lagoon structure n example is the placement of a pipe
in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in
lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.)
Lagoon liquid levels —high levels are a safety risk.
Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
Liner integrity —protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge
removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater
table.
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge
of wastewater and possible dam failure.

design approved by the Department of Agriculture.
Any method which in the professional opinion of the State
Veterinarian would make possible the salvage of part of a dead
animal's value without endangering human or animal health. (Written
approval of the State Veterinarian must be attached)

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 th ' e late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
marker (see Figure 2-1) to -allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste
utilization plan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to
irrigate does not leave room for,storing excess water during extended wet periods.
Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of
state law and subject to penalty action.
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam.
Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to
maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be
based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas
shou,ld be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or
equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may.be
done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices. This should be done at least once a year and
possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter
the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating
the waste.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of
the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes —look for:
1 . separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall conditicn of pipes

Lagoon surface —look for:
I . undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment —look for:
1 . settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability —slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to la ' ck of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to I iner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good.stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewal I, baffles in the lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat
of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the,
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps —check for proper operation of:
1 . recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a large amunt of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough -so that you
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your pumping
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some
safety time should major repairs be requ.ired. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be
coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
1 . adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height

Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of,how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a surface'water diversion or there may be seepage� into the
lagoon from the surrounding land. - .
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
1 immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2.- Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining.
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon
liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the
addition of wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below
7.0, add agricultural lirne at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid
pH is between 7.5 and-8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended
if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm
season.
Loading;
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are
optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained
and recharged each day, also work well.
I.- . I

Management:
Practice water conservation —minimize building water usage and
spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance and water conservation.
Mini ' mize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This
will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon
Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and
the full temporary storage level.
Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on
nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage
will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly;
irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winter.
The lagoon liquid level rhould 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.
Pre�vept additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
Frequently- remove solids- from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
Maintain strict Vegetatim, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment.
Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is
full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:

proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annuatly rather than stored long ter-n will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly'use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; mix remainihg sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator, haul
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader
onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the iner to prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be
removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it
should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of slud e will increase the 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 whicb.may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification of the lagoon structure —an example is the placement of a pipe
in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in
lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.)
Lagoon liquid levels —high -levels are a safety risk.
Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
Liner integrity —protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge
removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater
table.
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge
of wastewater and possible dam failure.

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 get� older and components wear. In particular,
pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use,
nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the
discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the
design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the
application unifc;rmity. For examp:e, operating the system with exceS5ive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater pote ' ntial for drift, and accelerates wear of the
sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of ' nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged
intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating
below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity.
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every
three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at
several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to
collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because
they already have a graduated scate from which to read the application amount
without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets,
jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross�section can be used provided
the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring.
For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly
throughout the application area at several distances -from sprinklers. For traveling
guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of
pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of
the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all
nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers
of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation -
dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

Dear Mr. Houston:
On November 24, 1998, staff from the Wilmington' Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was
observed that due to a blockage in the waste collection system waste water had discharged into and
through a storm water diversion. The waste water had ponded in a wooded area adjacent to the
facility. No impact to surface waters was observed at this time. In addition, some woody
vegetation, minor erosion and bare areas were found on the lagoon dike walls.
As I discussed with you during'the inspection, any discharge that bypass�s a lagoon/storage
pond that may pose a serious theat to the environment should be reported. All caution must be
taken to prevent the release of waste from your collection and treatment system. Maintenance is
needed for the your lagoon dike walls. Minor erosion and bare areas need to be repaired with the
appropriate materials and vegetation established. Woody vegetation should be removed from the
dike walls as soon as possible. Any assistance required in planning and implementing these or
other appropriate best management practices may be obtained from your service company or by
contacting the local Soil and Water Conservation District.
Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes and Rules to discharge
wastewater to the surface waters of the State without a permit and/or to fail to follow a certified
waste management plan. The Division of Water Quality has the authority to levy a civil penalty
of not more than $10,000 per day per violation.

Dear Mr Wrenn:
In reference to your NOD letter on the Lester Houston Farm
Facility Number 31-478.
Corrective action on the dike will begin with the next proper
seeding dates for permanent bermuda grass cover. Until
that time the native vegetation should remain to help keep
dike erosion to a minimum.
The certified plan is maintained on the farm at all times. if
you require access to this plan, due to my work schedule, I must
request that you notify me two weeks prior to your
proposed site visit. This is a minimum time needed for me to
schedule so that I may be present to review the plans and
records with you or one of your staff members.
If you have any questions or need any additional information
please feel free to give me a call at Duplin Soil And Water. The
number is 910-296-2120.

Dear Mr. Houston:
On November 3, 1997 Staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality,
inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was observed that the certified
animal waste management plan was not available at the time of the inspection.
The certified plan including a waste utilization plan and irrigation records should be kept on site..
In addition, as was discussed at the time of the inspection, the inner dike wall of the lagoon should be
mowed and reseeded with an appropriate vegetative cover. Any bare areas on the lagoon dike wall should
be reseeded with an appropriate vegetative cover. We suggest that you contact your service company, local
NRCS or Soil and Water District office for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct the
situation.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, you must notify this office in writing within fourteen (14) days
of the receipt of this notice, what actions will betaken to comply with your waste management plan. Failure
to do so may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status, requiring it to obtain an individual non
discharge permit.

Dear Mr. Houston:
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 seriies 250 or moie
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
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 Mr. Houston:
This is to inform you that your completed registration form required by the recently
modified nondischarae rule has been received by the Division of Environmental Management
Z�
(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
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 Febru ary 1, 1993
and December 31, 1993 must submit a signed cer-tification form (copy enclosed) to DEM by
December 31. 1997. New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must
obtain signed certification 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 [phone].
