The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres ofcropland 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 ofapplications to
maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other by-products,
commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that 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 adeq&tely provides
for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

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
animal in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column.
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent At clean out, this
material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. in most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but
other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting, Since nutrient levels are generally very high,
application of sludge must be carefully applied.
Sites 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 moving to streams and takes, phosphorous is a
concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

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 minus
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 which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is
equal to zero.
Available storage capacity 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 situations indicates
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
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 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 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 drift from the land
application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to
conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the
application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and
Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).
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.
— --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
609927 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 10/25/2004 Specification Page I
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.
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 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 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 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.
-------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
609927 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 10/25/2004 Specification Page 2
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.
19. 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.
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. 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 five (5)
years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): 2A, 2B
Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained.
Adaptation: Effective artificial drainage MUST be in place to achieve Realistic Yield Expectations
provided for these soils.
in the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. I to Mar. 3 1. Cover sprigs I" to 3"
deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and wind.
For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row, Generally a rate of
30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing conditions.
Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced V to 1.5' in row. For
broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of time, phosphorus, potassium
and rnicronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in the
establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240 Ib/ac: N
annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts. Reduce N rates
by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization of Pastures and
Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronon-dst or extension agent for
assistance.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 3C, 3D
Fescue: Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained.
Adaptation: Moderate to Marginal.
In the Coastal Plain, tall fescue can be planted Sept. I to Oct. 15 (best) and Feb. 15 to Mar. 20. For
pure -stand broadcast seedings use 20 to 30 lb/ac., for drilled use 15 to 20 lb/ac. seed. Use certified seed to
avoid introducing weeds or annual ryegrass. Plant seed 0.25" to O.S" deep for pure stands, 0.25" in mixture
with clovers. Tall fescue will tolerate soil wetness but not flooding or prolonged saturation; use ladino

The following crop note applies to field(s), 2A, 2B
Small Grain: CP, Mineral Soil, low -leachable
In the Coastal Plain, oats and barley should be planted from October 15-October 30; and rye from October
15-November 20. For barley, plant 22 seed/drill row foot and increase the seeding rate by 5% for each
week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable seeding rate
modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the initial seeding rate
by at least 10% when planting no -till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and rye at 1- 1 1/2
bushels/acre. Plant a these small grains at 1-1 1/2" deep. Adequate depth control is essential. Review the
NCS U Official Variety "green b ook" and information from private cornp anies to s elect a high yielding
variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more than 30 lbs/acre N at

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the nwriber 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 remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out this
material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but
other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels arc generally very high,
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 toad effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc
so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and takes, phosphorous is a
concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

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 minus
the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The staft 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 which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is
equal to zero.
Available storage capacity 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 volurne of the structure. Either of these situations indicates
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 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 drift from the land
application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to
conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the
application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and
Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).
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.
............. — -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
609927 Database Version 3. 1 Date Printed: 10/25/2004 Specification Page 1
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.
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 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 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 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.
-- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
609927 Database Version 3, 1 Date Printed: 10/25/2004 Specification Page 2
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed
areas (lagoon embankments, berm, 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.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a
regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance
check -list 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.
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-deter"ning 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. 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 rive (5)
years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): 2A, 2B
Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained.
Adaptation: Effective artificial drainage MUST be in place to achieve Realistic Yield Expectations
provided for these soils.
In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 to Mar. 3 1. Cover sprigs I" to 3"
deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and wind.
For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a rate of
30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing conditions.
Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced V to 1.5' in row. For
broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus, potassium
and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in the
establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply ISO to 240 lb/ac N
annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts. Reduce N rates
by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization of Pastures and
Forages in North Carolina for more infomiation or consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for
assistance.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 3C, 3D
Fescue: Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained.
Adaptation: Moderate to Marginal.
In the Coastal Plain, tall fescue can be planted Sept. I to Oct. 15 (best) and Feb. 15 to Mar. 20. For
purc-stand broadcast seedings use 20 to 30 lb/ac., for drilled use 15 to 20 lb/ac. seed. Use certified seed to
avoid introducing weeds or annual ryegrass. Plant seed 0.25" to 0.5" deep for pure stands, 0,25" in mixture
with clovers. Tall fescue will tolerate soil wetness but not flooding or prolonged saturation; use ladino
clover for mixtures on these soils. Soil test for preplant and maintenance lime, phosphorus, and potassium
recommendat ions. Apply 40 to 60 lb/ac nitrogen at planting for pure stands only. Do not apply N for
mixtures with clovers but use proper legume inoculation techniques. Apply 150 to 200 lb/ac. N to
pure -stand fescue for hay production; reduce N rates by 25% for grazing, Apply N Feb. I to Mar. 20 and
Aug. 20 to Sept. 30, with equal amounts in each window. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305
Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for additional information or consult
your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance.

Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Duplin County
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
Perm�it AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit 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 22, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Morris
Kennedy, Authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terrfiinates your previous COC Number AWS310479 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 Morris Kennedy #1, 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 (CAWMP). 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 conforn-dity with the conditions and lim�itations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWM[P, 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 CAWNV 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 conv'ey any property rights in either real or personal property. WWI

ANIMAL WASTE
UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: MORRIS KENNEDY
Location: 750 SAND RIDGE RD
PINK HILL KC 28572
Telephone: 910-298-3626
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
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.

Page: 1
ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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 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 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 2852 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 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 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 7.64666666667 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
Page: 7

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

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.

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.

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. 0
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.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied -at -a specified
rate to preve ' nt.,pollution of surf ac,3�.and/or groundwater. -The plant
nutrients in the"animal W"astb should be 'used. to reduce the' amount of
commercial fertil'izer�:required for the crops in the fields'where 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. 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. Soil types are important as they have different infilitrAtion
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available
water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land
eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre-
cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per
acre per year. Do not apply -waste on saturated soils, when it is
raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions
may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM
regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift
and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients
for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the
waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground
not more than 30 days prior to -planting. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage require-
ments should be based on the waste analysis eport from your waste
management facility. Attached you will find information on proper
sampling terchniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to
the lab for analysis.
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 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 2852 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 begrown, soil type and surface application.

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 will be more than the acres shown in
the tables.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisionsfor 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 967.2 pounds of plant
available nitrogen per year in the sludge that will need to be
removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting
the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well
speci-al equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
waste water.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IkRIGATION
The -irrigation - aipplicat ion 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.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage
and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
6 months. in no instance should the volume of waste being stored in
your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike.
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 instal -led to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 And 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your 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. '

Plans and 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. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division
of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field office must have documentation in the design folder that
the producer either has owns or has long term access to adequate
land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own
adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS
with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within
a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application for the life expectancy of the production
facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility
to secure an 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 soiltype,
available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that
restrict the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource
Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System-
(ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater
than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips*
will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter
strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM.
(See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390
Interim Riparian Forest Buffers).
5. odors can be reduced by injecting the was�e or disking after
waste application. Waste should not be applied when the
wind is blowing.
When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally
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" in
the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies
and to provide uniformity of application.

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 no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf
area is covered.
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 a
crop on bare soil.
ii. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to
surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that
are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips
are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter 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 wasters,
drainageways, or wetlands tv discharge or by over -spraying,
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site
by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be
applied on grassed waterways that discharge into water
courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the
application causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into
the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures
must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate
storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to
one (1) foot mandatory fre-��board-
is. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be
established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments,
berms, pipe �uns, etc.). If needed, special vegetation
shall be provided for these areas and 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. Lagoon berms and -structures
should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage
or discharge.
WASTE UTILIZATION Pt i PAGE 8
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or '
terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and imple-
menting a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility
of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
20. 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.

Narrative of Irrigation System Operation
Describe the operation of the system in the space provided below or on a similar sheet most convinient to the designer/supplier
Include procedures such as start-up, shut -down, winterization and regular miintenance of all equipment.
This system is designed using a 3" hard hose traveler and John Dgere 4039D Pumning
Unit. When starting this system one should make sure the reel is level. Drop
stabilizer legs and tighten. Check brake system on reel. When pulling hard hose
out, hold speed at 2 to 3 miles per hour. After pulling hose out, check saftey
shut down on reel. When starting up system, prime pump before starting engine.
After pump is primed, start engine and run just above idle seed until all air is
out of the system and traveler gun. Then slowly increase RPMs. until PSI is reached..
When winterizing equipment, drain water from pump completely. Pull'reel hose app.
1/2 way out with supply hose disconnected. Take PTO shaft and tractor and reel
itback in. This will exhaust most of the water out of the hard hose. Take cap
or plug out of gun cart at low point so that all equipment under shelter when not
in use if possible. Maintenence on all equipment should be done on a daily basis
when in use. Read manuals that come with the equipment. These manuals will show
grease fittings and safety precautions.
All ditch crossings will be with a 10" sleeve X 201 Class 200 PVC.

OPERATION & NUINTENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid management should be a gar -round priority. It is especially
important to manage levels so that you do not ave 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 winterlearly 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-bour 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
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 condition of pipes
LaLyoon surface --- look for:
V
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:
I . recycling pumps
r`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 full,
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment'or storage structures. The only water that should be
coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
I . adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height
Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. 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 lime at the rate of I pound per 1000 cubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid
pH is between 7.5 and 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.
Management:
Practice water conservation —minimize building water usage and
spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance and water conservation.
Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This
will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon
Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and
the full temporary storage level.
Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on
nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage
will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly,
irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winter.
The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than I foot to the lowest
point of the dam or embankment.
Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage
level unless you are removing sludge.
Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches undemeath 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 vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment.
Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is
full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:
prope lag n sizing,
mendclsolids separation of flushed waste
grFL�ity settling of flushed waste solids in an �ppropriately designed basin, or
minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
i
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or -
forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by ir ' rigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm
an area beside la000n to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back
C.
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 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 sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.
Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types
of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the
dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification of the lagoon structure --an example is the placement of a pipe
in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in
lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.)
Lagoon liquid levels --- high levels are a safety risk.
Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
Liner integrity --- protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge
removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater
table.
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge
Of wastewater and possible dam failure.
System Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation
conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates
change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular,
pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use,
nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the
discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the
design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the
application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the
sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged
intakes or 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 scale from which to ' read the application amount
without htiving 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.

Mr. Kennedys total operation <2464 topping hogs) wi I I produce enough
nitrogen to apply to 48 acres of corn or 18 acres of coastal bermuda.
Mr. Kennedy has written permission from adjoining landowners to apply
waste from his operation to 45 acres of cropland, considered to be
within reasonable pumping distance. With the areas around his operation
this should be ' sufficient land to take care of the waste produced. The
effluent shodld be analyzed for the exact nutrient content and applied
at recommended rates to an actively growing crop.
The lagoon is designed for 6 months temporary storage and at some times
it may have to be pumped twice a year.
After construction is completed, the areas around the house and lagoon
should be seeded with a permanent grass to help stabilize the area and
hold erosion to a minimum.

OPERATION & NLAWMANCE PLAN
rroper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especiauy
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 winterlearly 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 summerlearly 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
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
J..> tzo
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
t� 0
the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating
the waste. 0
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of
4=1
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, Rec cling, Pipes, and Overflow Pipes --- look for:

2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation 'of salts or minerals

determine proper solutions, consult with appiopriate 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 win 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 construc. ' tion establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new la( goon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading, begins, taldng care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
C;
3. Drainpipes into the lag
goon should have a flexible pipe extender on the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
4D
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
workin- swine lacoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full la-oon
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 lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of
Z�
lagoon liquid volume until the PH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid
Z> Z>
PH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling. and excessive odor signals inadequate
biolo,-ical activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended
if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the -warm
season.
Loading:
The moreftequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several ti
g mes daily are
optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or- more buildings are drained
and recharged each day, also work well.
proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids separation of Rushed waste,
gra�ity settling of flushed waste solids inan appropriately designed b%Sin, or
minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
fora,g,eland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropland or forag
geland; 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.
=1
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 removina, sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage Close
attention by the pumper or drag -fine 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.
Slud-e 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 b applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other
goon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
wastes 5ways have your lag
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.
C�
System Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer's, charts are- based on average� operation
conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates
change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular,
pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use,
nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the
discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the
design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the
application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the
sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged
intakes or 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 scale 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 c-oncern. You should contact your irrigation
dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

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. TRR1, 11M, DRYI, DRY2, DRY3, SLURI, SLUR2,
SLD 1, 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 mviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.

Dear Mr. Kennedy:
This is to inform you that your completed registration form required by the recently
modified nondischarge rule has been received by the Division of Environmental Management
(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(15ANCAC2H.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
DecCmber 31. 1997, New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must
obtain signed certification befQrr, aiiimals ar!t stocked 2n 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.
Sincerely,
/.n Steve Tedder, Chief
