Facility Number 31-504
Duplin County
This is to acknowledge receipt of your request that your facility no longer be registered as an animal waste
management system per the terms of 15A NCAC 2H .0217. The information you provided us indicated that your
operation's animal population does not exceed the number set forth by 15A NCAC 2H .0217, and therefore does not
require registration for a certified animal waste management plan.
Under 15A NCAC 2H .0217, your facility is deemed permitted if waste is properly managed and does not
reach the surface waters of the state. Any system determined to have an adverse impact on water quality may be
required to obtain a waste management plan or an individual permit. You are reminded that a discharge of wastes to
the surface waters of the state will subject you to a civil penalty up to $25,000 per day.
Should you decide to increase the number of animals housed at your facility beyond the threshold limits
listed below, you will be required to receive approval from the Division of Water Quality prior to stocking animals
to that level. Threshold numbers of animals are as follows:
Swine
250
Confined Cattle
100
Horses
75
Sheep
1,000
Poultry with a liquid wastes stem
30,000
If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sonya Avant at

Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Muddy Creek Farm
Facility Number 31-504
Duplin County I
Dear Donald Pickett:
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Dean Hunkele on 1211100 was made to review the actual number of acres at your
facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of
the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X".
Category 1:
❑ The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Dean Hunkele the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Dean Hunkele, at 127 Cardinal Drive
Extension, Wilmington, NC 28405-3845, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you
have any questions please contact Dean Hunkele at (910) 395-3900. If within 90 days you
are unable to provide Dean Hunkele with the information you are automatically
required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2
below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter.

Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Page 2
Category 2:
Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next
180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our
Central Office staff at (919) 733-5083 ext. 571.

Dear Mr. Pickett,
This letter follows up on our conversation last month regarding establishment of
proper vegetation on the lagoon closure application fields.
Harold Jones and I visited the fields on December I0t'. The field nearest your
house had recently been planted and seed were beginning to sprout. The Sudan grass'
field had small grain emerged. However the tobacco field next to the highway, the
coastal Bermuda grass field and the field adjacent to the coastal Bermuda grass field
(which has stump piles) are of continuing concern. These areas total about 8 acres. None
of these fields havebeen seeded. The coastal does have a native grass_ on most of it, but
some areas are bare.
I understood from our conversation that you were intending to plant the fields as
soon as it rained. It has now been about three weeks after an adequate rainfall and the
fields listed above have not been seeded.
. I want to be very clear. You are obligated to seed all areas where waste was
applied except for the fescue pastures. Upon signing the casement you accepted
responsibility for providing application fields for the lagoon closure and under state
regulations you are also required to properly manage animal waste.
Please seed all the remaining fields, except the coastal Bermuda grass field areas
which have a dense stand of native grass, by December 20th, 2001. If you choose not to
comply with this request; then appropriate actions will be taken to enforce both the
easement and state animal waste regulations.
Sincerely,
arroll Pierce

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment with minimum odor"
control. The time required for the planned f I ui d I eve I to be
reached may vary due to so i I conditions, flushing operations, and
the amount of fresh water -added to the system.
Land app l i cat i can of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method ref disposal. Irrigation by renter pivot, so I i d set or -
traveler is the preferred and most efficient method to dispose of
the effluent from the lagoon. Care should be taken when applying
waste to prevent damage to the crops and to prevent runoff from
the fields.
The following Items are to be carried out:
1. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid l eve l reaches invert
of the outlet pipes or at a pre -determined e I evat I on . fr•S ice 04-
Z. Stop pumprout before the lagoon depth is less than 6 feat

3. The recommended amount to apply per i r"r" i gat I on is one inch,
and maximum recommended app l I ca.t ion rate is 0.5 inch per hour.
4. It is recommended that the treatment lagoon be precharged to
1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during beginning
stages oF the operation. Precharg i ng. reduces the concentration of
the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors.,
So I ids should be covered with water at all times.

l(we) verify that all the above information is correct and will be updated upon changing. I (we) understand the operation and maintenance
procedures established in the approved animal waste management plan for the farm named above and will implement these procedures. 'I (we)
know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and storage system or construction of new facilities will require a
new certification to be submitted to the Division of ,Environmental Management before the new animals are stocked. I (we) understand that there
must be no discharge of animal waste from the storage or application system to surface waters of the state either directly through a man-made
conveyance or from a storm event less severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm and there must not be run-off from the application of animal
waste. 1 (we) understand that run-off of pollutants from- lounging and heavy use areas must be minimized using technical standards developed by
the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The approved plan will be filed at the farm and at the office of the local Soil and Water
Conservation District. I (we) know that modification must be approved by a technical specialist and submitted to the Soil and Water Conservation
District prior to implementation. A change in land ownership requires written notification to DEM or a new certification (if the approved plan is

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
cap_ 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 DEM regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the
Page: 1
ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or
applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking
dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce
odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to
change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different
application methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient
content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste
analysis report and volume of waste from your waste management facility. In some
cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to
be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to
accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. lime must be applied to
maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with
15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
1224 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 2325.6 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
1224 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 2815.2 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.

Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or winter annuals follow
summer annuals.
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. ICattle
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
bermu Tagrass. 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.
* Acreage figures may exceed total acreage in fields due to overseeding.

SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land
application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent: over application
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 452.88 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 2264.4
Page: 6
ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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 7.548 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 18.1152 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed.! Actual requirements could vary by 25o 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
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application
rates and amounts.

This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil
assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over

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.
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
In June 1994, waste plan was written with 8.0 tons yield per acre. Waste Plan revised to 7.1 tons
yield per acre. Mr.� Pickett will have to use high management to maintain these yields.

1. REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not' reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift,
manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or
land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is
prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns
or has an agreement for use of adequate land on whichto 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 Hrigati.on 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.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on
soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these
soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to
take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to
planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy.

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 preplant with no further
applications of animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of
the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon Iiquid 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 Iagobn 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
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 Iagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes ---look for:
1. separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall condition of pipes
Lagoon surface --- look for:
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment ---look for:
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 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 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 Iagoon 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 lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of
lagoon Iiquid 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 Iagoon
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,
i irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon,
storage for the winter. -
The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than I foot to the lowest
point of the dam or embankment.
Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage
level unless you are removing sludge.
Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid
surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are 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:
Q.
proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
. Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader
onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The -application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement`. Waste application 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- It 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 Iagoon.
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.
.L,.,
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 al
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, sprir.Lklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction
of pull. Set o'ut 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 mare khan 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation
dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

Facility Number 31-504
Duplin County
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. IRRI, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the

Dear Mr. Pickett:
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 (15A NCAC 211.0217). 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 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 planocan 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.
