Dear Mr. Knowles:
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 919/733-0026.

Facility Number: 31-540
Duplin County
On September 24, 1998, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality, inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was
observed that there is an erosion cut on the inner dike wall of lagoon KWI that could sacrifice the
integrity of the dike wall.
As discussed at the time of the inspection, the erosion cuts should be filled with a suitable
clay material, compacted and reseeded. In addition, trees and woody vegetation should . be
removed from the outer dike walls of lagoons KW 1 and KW2. The bare areas on the dike walls
of the new lagoon should be revegetated with an appropriate cover. We suggest that you contact
your service company, local NRCS or Soil and Water District office for any assistance they may
be able to provide to correct the situation.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, you must notify this office in writing within
fourteen (14) days of the receipt of this notice, what actions will be taken to comply with your waste
management plan. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status,
requiring it to obtain an individual non discharge permit.
Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes and Rules to discharge
wastewater to the surface waters of the State without a permit and/or to fail to follow a certified
waste management plan. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources has the authority
to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day per violation.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-540
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, DRYI, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLDI, and SLD2) and maintained in the faciiity'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

The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application.
Additional information is required before we can continue our review.
Please address the following by October 11, 2000:
Please provide your Operation and Maintenance Plan, this should be a part of your Waste Utilization Plan
documentation. I have included an example for your information.
On page 3, Table I of your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) it has listed the yield for small grain overseed as:
1 unit per acre, with a nitrogen (N) uptake of 75 pounds of N per acre, during the application time of
September to November.
• The NCSU Guidance Memorandum to Technical Specialists dated June 29, 1998 states that only 50
pounds of nitrogen per acre should be applied to small grain overseeded into Bermuda grass. Current
guidance allows for 100 pounds of nitrogen per acre under strict management practices as mentioned in
the memo included with this letter.
• Please have your technical specialist reduce the nitrogen rate on the winter annuals to 50 pounds per
acre or incorporate the attached management practices into the narrative of the WUP for the application
of 100 pounds of nitrogen per acre.
• Please attach a copy of the enclosed NCSU Guidance Memorandum with your revised WUP.
• Your technical specialist will need to change the application dates for all field entries (Table 1, WUP
page 3). Your revised WUP should match the times specified in the NCSU Guidance Memorandum.
I have provided an acceptable REVISED example taken from your WUP. This example is shown on

Memorandum
TO: North Carolina Certified Technical Specialists
FROM: Dr. Jim Green, Chairman
NC State University Forage reduction Workgroup
DATE: June 29, 1998 �/
SUBJECT: Crop Management Practices for Select Forages
Used in Waste Management
The following is a four -page summary of suggestions for management practices for some
forage crops that can be used in waste management plans. These suggestions are a result of
discussions within the NC State University Forage Production W orkgroup, a group comprised
of NC State faculty and NRCS agency personnel with expertise with the .crops.
There are limited documented research responses of some of these practices on the many soils
and environments where these crops are currently being grown. The Forage Production
Workgroup has taken the available data and used the combined experiences and realistic
estimates of key people to come up with suggestions that will allow farmers to incorporate
these crops and practices into waste management plans. As data become 'available to
substantiate or refute these suggestions, the Forage Production Workgroup will make
appropriate changes.
Bermuda Overseeded With Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegrass
Currently two types of ` ryegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fields used for
animal waste management. Cereal rve is a winter annual smallgrain that looks similar to
wheat., barley and oats. Annual rvezTass is a winter annual grass that looks much like tall
fescue. Both of these grasses, when. growing during the winter on bermuda sod, can have
significant impact on subsequent bertnuda yields. In effect, the total yields from an acre
growing the combination of bermuda with these winter. annuals will usually yield between 1-2
tons more per acre than bermuda growing alone for the year. Therefore, the total amount of
PAN /Icre for the year is about 100 lbs more than for bermuda alone. Although cereal rye and
annual ryegrass are suitable crops for overseeding, the management of the crops 'are different
and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected.

Cereal Rye
The cereal rye should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter
growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3
inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If -drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short
bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate
for -broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last
application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An
application of 50 lbs/acre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15
and October 30. An additional 501bs/acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. if rye
growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the Bermuda, PAN'rates for the
subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest is required prior
to heading or April 7, which ever comes first. This is necessary to minimize the potential for
shading Bermuda and reducing its yields. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda
overseeded with cereal rye must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical
Standard #590.
Annual Ryegrass
Annual ryegrass should be -planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter
growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3
inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If -drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short
Bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate
for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last
application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An
application of 50 lbs/acre of (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30.
An additional 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN is
applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a
corresponding amount. This *is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will
reduce bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is
required by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevent shading of emerging
bermuda during April -May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional
harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height.
The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with annual ryegrass must be
reduced in accordance with MRCS Technical Standard #590.

Eastern Gamagrass
Limited data are available on the response of gamagrass to various levels of N and soil types
in North Carolina. However, until further data is collected, the following guidelines may
be used.
1. On sandy textured soils that are well drain or excessively well drained, gamagrass may -
yield similar to hybrid bermudagrass at similar PAN rates.
2. On heavy textured soils that are poorly to somewhat poorly drained, gamagrass may yield
1.5-3 times more than hybrid bermuda
Gamagrass establishes slowly and will not usually produce much harvestable forage during
the establishment year. It is best to allow the growth during the seedling year to accumulate
for most or all season; if it is to be harvested, it should be done after full seedhead formation
on a majority of the plants. Therefore, PAN for the seedling year should be modified
accordingly. Overseeding gamagrass with winter annuals is not currently advised because the
harvesting or grazing management of the winter annual crops during February -April would be
detrimental to the survival of gamagrass. Gamagrass should not normally be harvested or
grazed below 6-8 inches stubble.
Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that address the N needs per ton of
hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window. When harvested as hay in the 24-
36 inch stage of growth, the N rate ranges from 40-50 lbs/ton of dry matter. The PAN rate for
grazed systems must be reduced in accordance with MRCS Technical Standard #590.
The application window for gamagrass is slightly earlier than for bermuda; gamagrass starts
growing about 34 weeks earlier than Coastal bermudagrass and about 2-3 weeks earlier than
Tifton 44. Gamagrass is dormant from frost to March. The last application of PAN in the
summer should be prior to August 31.
Rescueg=s (i e. Matua)
Rescuegrass is a cool season grass and makes most of its growth from March -June and
September -November. It should receive most of its N during' the September -October and late
February through May months. Limited data are available for realistic yields of rescuegrass
on various soils and at various N levels in North Carolina. However, until further data is
collected the following suggestions may be useful:
1. On sandy, well drained to excessively drained soils, rescuegrass may yield 1.5- 3 times
fescue, assuming a uniform and dense stand of grass is present.

2. On wet or poorly drained soils, rescuegrass may yield .75 -1.0 times as much as fescue.
3. On soils where both are well adapted the yields of rescuegrass may be 1-1.5 times more
than fescue.
The above RYE estimates assume that stand density is maintained through natural reseeding
every year. Although rescuegrass is a "perennial" it does not maintain dense, satisfactory
stands unless it is allowed to reseed every year. Even under this management it is likely that
disease will affect one or more growths in some years.
Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that address the N needs per ton of
hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window. When harvested as hay, the N
rate is similar to other cool season grasses such as fescue, ranging from 40-50 lbs/ton.
Rescuegrass may also continue some growth in June -August if moisture is available. During
these off-seasons, rescuegrass should not receive more than about 25 Is Nlacrelmonth. Only
apply 25 lbs Nlacre in June -August if the equivalent of 1-inch of water can be applied -at the
same time. If the crop does not respond with at least a 1000 lbs of growth within a 3-5 week
period do not make another application until the plants have had the opportunity to use the
previous application.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and 180 days of
temporary storage. The time required for the planned fluid level (permanent and
temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing
operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days of temporary storage for:
(1) manure production of animals, (2) excess fresh water storage, (3) rainfall in
excess of evaporation, (4) storage for the 25 year / 24 hour storm for the location,
(5) and, if applicable, an additional "heavy rain" storage volume for chronic rainfall
events. Allocation for any -additional fresh water usage is also included in the
temporary storage. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals
will be fairly constant throughout the year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year.
The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but
this storage volume must always be available.
A staff gauge must be installed in the lagoon that indicates the start pumping and stop
pumping levels. The start pumping level is the maxium liquid level under normal operating
conditions. The stop pumping level is the minimum liquid level under normal
operation to maintain required treatment volume and depth. Pumping can be started
and stopped anywhere between these two elevations for operating convenience as site
conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste
without runoff or leaching. However, it is recommended that the lagoon be kept.
pumped down as much as possible.
Land application of wastewater is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal.
Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling guns. Care
should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is required that the treatment lagoon be precharged to one—half the treatent volume
or as otherwise specified on the lagoon design drawings before wastes are introduced.
The purpose is to prevent excessive odors during start—up. Precharging reduces the
concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should
be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with
recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used'for flushing after initial filling.
2. The attached Waste Utilization Plan shall be followed. The plan recommends
sampling and testing of waste before land application.

ADDRESS: CHECKED BY: JNT
DATE: 04100j97
COUNTY: SHEET 2 OF 2
3. Begin temporary storage pump —out of the lagoon when the fluid level reaches the
elevation 101.90 as marked by the staff gauge. Stop pump --out when the fluid level
reaches elevation 100.10. This temporary storage, less 25 year / 24 hour storm,
contains 35429 cubic feet or 265012 gallons.
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the
recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inches per hour. Refer to the waste
utilization plan for further details.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed
annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded or damaged areas and establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets.
8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization
fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches.
Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall
be applied in a manner such that waste will not reach other property and public
rights —of —way.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977-prohibb the discharge of pollutants into waters
of the United States. Waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands byeither discharge or by over —spraying. The Department of Environment,
Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Management,
has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

Mr. Shiver,
I am writing on behalf of Mr. Larry Knowles, owner of KW U2, facility #31-540, in regards to the Notice
of Violation issued by your department dated 1/11/2001. I will respond to each observation noted in the
sa me order they are shown in your letter.
The freeboard in the secondary lagoon serving this facility was at 24" on the day of your inspection,
however, Mr. Knowles believed his start pump elevation to be 21". After thoroughly reviewing the
lagoon design supplied by the designer, Floyd Adams, PE, to Mr, Knowles, I was able to determine a
start pump elevation of 36". During this review it became clear, however, that the design was
extremely confusing with regards to this issue. The most prominent reference in the design to a start
pump elevation was a detail of the lagoon staff gauge. In this detail, the start pump elevation wus
shown to be 21". In my opinion, this detail was/is a source of confusion to the grower. It is obvious to
me that Mr. Knowles was acting in good faith in his understanding of the proper freeboard le+el. i feel
that the designer in this case did a poor job in describing his intentions to the grower, and, as a resu It,
caused this misunderstanding. Mr, Knowles understands the required freeboard levels now, and will
manage his lagoon accordingly. I do not feel it to be fair to punish him for this confusion.
2. The woody vegetation growing on the lagoon embankment was small and fairly new and Posed no
threat to the integrity of the structure. Mr, Knowles has removed this growth and will increase the
frequency with which he removes such vegetation.
3. The bermuda crop will be re-evaluated in the Spring of 2001, and appropriate actions will be taken.
The crop will be re -sprigged if needed.
4. The drainage ditch proximal to the lagoon was present at the time of the certification of the lagoons.
can not find any evidence that suggests that the course or stability of this ditch has changed
significantly from the time of certification. Mr. Knowles will, however, consult a PE to determine if
corrective actions should be taken.
5. Mr, Knowles plan will be revised to reflect the new matua rates, however, matua is a form of small
grain by definition. For this reason, I do not see how the Iisting of small grain in the current CAWMP
could be considered a violation.
6. The grower had not received a copy of the Permit from Raleigh at the time of the inspection. 11c has
since received it and included it in his files. Please check the date of delivery on the Permit to clarify
this issue.
7. The permit had not been received by the grower at the time of inspection, so this was not a
requirement. He has called this information into Murphy Farms, Inc. weekly. and is now also
recnrding it on the farm.

• Woody vegetation is growing on the lagoon embankment. This is a violation of
Part II. Operation and Maintenance Requirements, Section 10 of the General
Permit which requires that trees, shrubs, and other woody vegetation shall not be
allowed to grow on the lagoon/waste storage pond embankments.
The bermuda crop needs improvement and weeds (especially broadieef weeds)
need to be eliminated from the field. This is a violation of Part II(2) of the
General Permit which requires that a vegetative cover be maintained on all land
application fields and buffers in accordance with the CAWMP. Necessary efforts
should be made to improve the bermuda crop and eliminate weeds
Proper personnel need to investigate the deep drainage ditch proximal to one of
the lagoons to determine if this ditch is or is potentially compromising the
integrity of the structure. Ifit is determined that the integrity of the structure is or
is potentially being compromised, then appropriate actions need to be taken to
preserve the integrity of the structure.
• You indicated that matua was planted in the field. However, the CAWMP
indicates that small grain is to be planted in the field. You indicated that you
thought the CAWMP had been changed to allow for the planting of matua. You
need to obtain the necessary documentation which indicates that inatu'I may be
f, planted in the field as part of the CAWMP and have this available for inspection.
i In addition, you need to ensure that all cropping practices on fields included in the
\` CAWMP are performed in accordance with the CAWMP.
• You need to have a copy of the General Permit. You need to be familiar with the
4 � requirements of the General Permit and have it available for inspection. I am
enclosing a copy for your use.

Mr. Shiver,
JAN 2 2 2gi
I am writing on behalf of Mr. Larry Knowles, owner of KW 1&2, facility #31-540, in regards to the Notice
of Violation issued by your department dated 1/11/2001. I will respond to each observation noted in the
same order they are shown in your Ietter.
The freeboard in the secondary lagoon serving this facility was at 24" on the day of your inspection,
however, Mr. Knowles believed his start pump elevation to be 21 ". After thoroughly reviewing the
lagoon design supplied by the designer, Floyd Adams, PE, to Mr. Knowles, I was able to determine a
start pump elevation of 36". During this review it became clear, however, that the design was
extremely confusing with regards to this issue. The most prominent reference in the design to a start
pump elevation was a detail of the lagoon staff gauge. In this detail, the start pump elevation was
shown to be 21 ". In my opinion, this detail was/is a source of confusion to the grower. It is obvious to
me that Mr. Knowles was acting in good faith in his understanding of the proper freeboard level. I feel
that the designer in this case did a poor job in describing his intentions to the grower, and, as a result,
caused this misunderstanding. Mr. Knowles understands the required freeboard levels now, and will
manage his lagoon accordingly. I do not feel it to be fair to punish him for this confusion.
2. The woody vegetation growing on the lagoon embankment was small and fairly new and posed no
threat to the integrity of the structure. Mr. Knowles has removed this growth and will increase the
frequency with which he removes such vegetation.
3. The bermuda crop will be re-evaluated in the Spring of 2001, and appropriate actions will be taken.
The crop will be re -sprigged if needed.
4. The drainage ditch proximal to the lagoon was present at the time of the certification of the lagoons. I
can not find any evidence that suggests that the course or stability of this ditch has changed
significantly from the time of certification. Mr. Knowles will, however, consult a PE to determine if
corrective actions should be taken.
Mr. Knowles plan will be revised to reflect the new matua rates, however, matua is a form of small
grain by definition. For this reason, I do not see how the listing of small grain in the current CAWMP
could be considered a violation.
6. The grower had not received a copy of the Permit from Raleigh at the time of the inspection. He has
since received it and included it in his files. Please check the date of delivery on the Permit to clarify
this issue.
7. The permit had not been received by the grower at the time of inspection, so this was not a
requirement. He has called this information into Murphy Farms, Inc. weekly , and is now also
recording it on the farm.
Post Office Box 759, Rose Hill, North Carolina 28458, [phone], FAX [phone]

8. The entire date will be included on future records.
9. Waste analysis will be taken on a quarterly basis from now on.
Based on this information, I would ask that you reconsider your Notice of Violation for this facility. If
there are any further questions about the information provided, please call me at [phone] ext. 4556.

Dear Mr. Knowles:
This is to notify Knowles Farms, Inc., who holds Certificate of Coverage AWS310540
under Swine Waste General Permit AWG100000 issued pursuant to North Carolina General
Statute 143-215.1, of violations of the General Permit.
. On November 20, 2000, Mr. Stonewall Mathis and Mr. Rick Shiver of the Wilmington
Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality performed an inspection of your animal
operation and the animal waste management system serving this operation. During the
inspection, the following was observed:
The freeboard in one of the lagoons was 24 (twenty-four) inches. This is a
violation of Part I. Performance Standards, Section 2 of the General Permit which
incorporates the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) into the
General Permit and specifies that any violation of the CAWMP shall be
considered a violation of the General Permit. Your CAWMP requires that you
maintain a freeboard of no less than 36 (thirty-six) inches in this lagoon,

Woody vegetation is growing on the lagoon embankment. This is a violation of
Part I1. Operation and Maintenance Requirements, Section 10 of the General
Permit which requires that trees, shrubs, and other woody vegetation shall not be
allowed to grow on the lagoon/waste storage pond embankments.
The bermuda crop needs improvement and weeds (especially broadleaf weeds)
need to be eliminated from the field. This is a violation of Part I1(2) of the
General Permit which requires that a vegetative cover be maintained on all land
application fields and buffers in accordance with the CAWMP. Necessary efforts
should be made to improve the bermuda crop and eliminate weeds
Proper personnel need to investigate the deep drainage ditch proximal to one of
the lagoons to determine if this ditch is or is potentially compromising the
integrity of the structure. If it is determined that the integrity of the structure is or
is potentially being compromised, then appropriate actions need to be taken to
preserve the integrity of the structure.
You indicated that matua was planted in the field. However, the CAWMP
indicates that small grain is to be planted in the field. You indicated that you
thought the CAWMP had been changed to allow for the planting of matua. You
need to obtain the necessary documentation which indicates that matua may be
planted in the field as part of the CAWMP and have this available for inspection.
In addition, you need to ensure that all cropping practices on fields included in the
CAWMP are performed in accordance with the CAWMP.
• You need to have a copy of the General Permit. You need to be familiar with the
requirements of the General Permit and have it available for inspection. I am
enclosing a copy for your use.
• Freeboard records need to be kept on a weekly basis in accordance with Part I1I.
Monitoring and Reporting Requirements, Section 2 of the General Permit.
• You need to be sure to include the entire date including the year on all records.
• You are in need of a current waste sample. Waste analysis are required to be
conducted at least within 60 days of the date of animal waste application. It is
recommended that at a minimum you take a waste sample and send off to be
analyzed every quarter to ensure that you have a valid waste analysis at all times
of the year. A waste analysis dated within 60 days of application is required to be
used for the calculations on the IRR-2 forms.

Thefrom your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of sand/or groundwater. The plant nutrients In the animal waste should be used to
reduamount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste Is
to bed. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be
analefore each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that ail
plannts can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Sever factors are Important in Impleirnenting your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the f liter value of the waste and to,' ensure that it is applied In an environmentally safe
man Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
conte of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are
impo t as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange
capac[ , and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land
erodin at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be
appli land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when It
Is rain g, or when the surface Is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to
surfa waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be
consid d to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for
crop duction and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a
growi crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days pdo It WgWftthe
waste disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. MAR 3 Q 2009 .

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. - I (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 any 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 changed) within 60 days of a title transfer.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing or running off site. You should not wail until wastes reach surface waters or
leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort
to ensure that this doe not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location
for all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should take.
Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be
possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A. lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a. Add* soil to berm to increase elevation df dam.
b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B. 'Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
-} a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoff.
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Close .values to eliminate further discharge.
d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
D. Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid separators -action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. make sure no siphon occurs.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems or solid separators.
e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed
to flowing leaks -possible action:
a. Dig a small sump or ditch away from the. embankment to catch all
seepage, put' in a submei sible pump, and pump back to lagoon.
J b. - If holes.are..caused by burrowing animals, ,trap or remove animals and fill
holes and-dompact,with'a clay, type soil. '
c: Have,_a, professiorial`eVaivate the'condition of'.the `side wails' and lagoon
bottom `as "soon` as'possible.

2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
c. Any damage notes, such as employee injury, fish kills ,or property damage?
d. Did the spill leave the property?
e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters?
f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters?
g. Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off the property)?
h. How much reached surface waters?
3. Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours call your DWQ regional office; Phone - -. After
hours, emergency number: 919-733-3942. Your phone call should include: your
name, facility number, telephone number, the details of the incident from item 2
above, the exact location of the facility, the location or direction of movement of

DESIGN SUMMARY
OPERATOR: Larry Knowles
Please review the attached plan and specifications carefully. Retain this plan for your use and records.
It is strongly recommended that you, your contractor, and ADePt's staff are in agreement as to how the
lagoon is to be constructed. ADePt personnel along with the surveyor will meet with all concerned
parties and walk over the site to explain all flags and markings. It is important that everyone understands
what is expected so that final construction meets plans and specifications and the job can be certified.
The pad dimensions and grades are the best estimate. The builder or contractor is responsible for final
layout. ADePt will assist in a limited capacity. The major concern of all parties shall be the proper
design and construction of the waste treatment lagoon.
The actual amount of material required for pads and dam may vary from the estimates. The design will
attempt to balance cuts and fills as close as possible. If additional material is required after construction
is complete on the lagoon, the contractor and owner will negotiate on the price and location of the barrow
area.
It should be noted that certification of the lagoon will depend upon all specifications being met.
Important items include length, width, depth, slopes, topsoil placement, correct elevations (top, bottom,
discharge pipes), and seeding.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
------------------------------
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and
180 days of temporary storage. The time -required for the planned
fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary
due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount
of fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for:
(1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also
included is storage for the 25 yr - 24 hr storm for the location and a
heavy rain factor. The volume of waste generated from a given number
of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to
year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year.' The heavy rain
factor and 25 yr rainfall will not be a factor to consider in'an annual
pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available.
The waste produced by the animals shall be utilized in accordance with
an approved waste utilization plan. Highly visible markers shall be
installed to mark the upper and lower elevations of the temporary
storage (pumping volume). Pumping shall be done as necessary to
maintain the liquid level between these markers.
Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two
elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as
weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without
runoff or leaching.
Land application of wastewater is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set,
center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be
taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. Before wastes are introduced, the waste treatment lagoon shall be
charged to 1/2 its treatment volume to prevent excessive.. ,odors during
start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be
covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete,
flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not
be used for flushing after initial filling.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment)
before land application.
3. Begin iemporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level
reaches the elevation 92.60 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -
out when tiie fluid level reaches elevation 89.45 This temporary
storage less 25 yr and heavy.rain contains 214358 cubic feet or
1603473 'gallons t
F,

SHEET 2 OF 2
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation and
recommended maximum application rate is shown in the waste utilization
plan. Refer to"the waste utilization plan for further details.
S. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the
lagoon mowed annually. vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintain a vigorous stand.
S. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetation.
7. Repair areas of the embankment that settle below the design settled
height or areas where cracking, sloughing, or "jug" holes develop.
8. Repair waste inlet pipes that develop cracks or separate at the
joints.
9. Remove undesirable vegetative growth and floating or lodged debris.
10. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable
outlets when not included as part of' the design temporary storage.
11. After five years the waste treatment lagoon shall be checked for
sludge accumulation annually. If sludge has encroached into the
treatment volume, the sludge will be removed and applied at agronomic
rates based on analysis of the sludge. Treatment volume must have
a minimum of 4 feet of depth free of sludge at all times.
12. In December 1552, the Environmental Management Commission (EMC)
in North Carolina revised water quality regulations that. address
animal operations. These;rules became effective on February 1,
1993 (15A NCAC 2H .0200). This animal operation shall be operated
within the requirements of these rules and regulations.
13. Pipes that are used for recycling effluent to use as flush water
and irrigation intakes must be placed 18 inches below the surface and
as far from the inlet discharge pipes as possible in order to provide
a cleaner effluent for flushing and to reduce odors when irrigating on
land. When these pipes are placed through the embankment, they should
be installed no more than two feet below top of embankment and not in
the highest section of fill. The pipe trench shall be compacted with
clayey material or other material as approved by an engineer.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR -CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
----------------------------------------------------------
FOUNDATION PREPARATION:
The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be
cleared of trees, loge, stumps, roots, brush, boulders,sod and rubbish.
Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from
the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on
the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the
lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior
to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond.
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT:
The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines,
grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall
be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over
5 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent
they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill
shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9
inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer
will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading
equipment or.standard tamping roller or other equivalent method.
Compaction equipment shall travel in a direction parallel to the main
axis of the fill. Clayey soils shall be compacted with a "sheepsfoot"
or tamping roller. Compaction of the fill material shall be in accord-
ance with the specified requirements for compaction and moisture.
For the embankment, use the more impervious materials from the required
excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for
settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment
capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the'NC
Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation
from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike.
Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive
erosion and sedimentation.
LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.7 ft.
NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS
INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS
ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER
IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT.
When areas of unsuitable material are encountered,, they will be over -
excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured
perp6nAicular.`t0rthe finish.grade. The foundation- shall be_bickfilled
as.specified'to grade with's MRCS approved material•(ie.- CL,SC,CH).
REFERiTO;1THE SOILS. INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL
CONSIDERATIONS.

SHEET a of 3
Soil liner material shall come fro* an approved borrow area. The
minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture
content which 'relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded
in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water
shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content
during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner
material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement.
The maximum water content relates.to the soil material being too wet
for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction.. Proper
compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and
compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Dry Unit
Weight of the liner material unless otherwise specified. When smooth
or hard, the previous lift shall be scarified and moistened as needed
before placement of the next lift.
The single most important factor affecting the overall 'compacted perme-
ability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the
liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner.
The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an estab-
lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and
compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping.or sheepsfoot
roller is the preferable type of compaction equipment.
The soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet
pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks)
or using flexible outlets on waste pipes.
Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant.
When these are specified, additional construction specifications are
included with this Constructi"on Specification.
CUTOFF TRENCH:
A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when
shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the
cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation
materials.
VEGETATION:
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded
to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construc-
tion according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil should be placed
on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch
shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season
dates for. seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon
as possible during the.next period of approved seeding dates.
REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS
-------------------------------
_When specified, -,the contractor shall construct an observation trench.

and the side slopes shall be 1:1 or flatter. When the drains are
encountered, the tile shall be removed to a minimum of 15 feet beyond
the downstream embankment toe as measured perpendicular to the
embankment. If a tile line exists above the embankment it shall be
rerouted around the lagoon in an approved location. Backfilling
and compaction in the trench shall be in accordance with the EXCAVATION
AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT requirements.
BOTTOM AND EDGES
---------------
The'bottom of all lagoons shall be approximately level. The side
slopes shall be uniform from top to bottom. Scarify the bottom and
side slopes of the lagoon a minimum depth of six inches and compact
with a "sheepsfoot" or tamping roller to decrease the permeability
of the finished bottom and side slopes.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
-----------------
During construction of the earth embankment,_A qualified inspector
as designated by the designer must be on site during construction
as necessary to verify proper construction. Testing will be required
as deemed necessary by the inspector and/or designer.
During construction of a clay liner, a qualified construction
inspector as designated by the designer must be on site during con-
struction as necessary'to verify the liner is installed in accordance
with MRCS South National Technical Center (SNTC) Technical Note
716 (Revised September 1993). In the absence of supervision of
construction by a qualified inspector, the liner must be tested to
verify a maximum hydraulic conductivity of 0.00000125 cm/sec.
when testing is required, the owner will be responsible for furnish-
ing test results and certification that the construction meets
the design requirements. Any tests and certification should be
performed by a certified laboratory.

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 aprlication rate. Rain gauges work best because
they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount
.j without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets,
jars, or anything with a uniform Qpening and cross-section can be used providers
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.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing or running off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters
or leave you property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every
effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible
location for all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should
take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may ore may not be
possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed belwo.
A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B. Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that cause the runoff.
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Close valves to eliminate further discharge.
-d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
D. Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid separators -action include:
a. Stop recycle pump;
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Make sure siphon occurs.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators.
E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed
to flowing leaks -possible action:
a. Dig a small sump or ditch from the embankment to catch all
seepage, puts in:a,`submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon.
b. If holes are caused by burrowing.animals, trap or remove animals and fill
holes antl compact with a� clay type soil.

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.
1
S
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization.,
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of thewaste 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. r
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. `-

ANIMAL WASTE UTJLIZATION 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. I`
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
2392 hogs x 1..9 tons waste/hogs/year = 4544.8 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
2392 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 5501.6 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. 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

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 885.04 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 4425.2
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 14.7506666667 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 35.4016 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

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
* This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil
assuming the amount of -nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over
applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot
be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil
conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180.00 days of temporary storage and
the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
6.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored
in your structure be within the 25'year 24 hour storm storage or one
foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to
ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the
correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may
make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis
report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and
the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.

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.

DESIGN AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE LAND
APPLICATION OF WASTEWATER- IRRIGATION SYSTEM FOR THE
LARRY KNOWLES FARM (KWI AND KW2) IN DUPLIN COUNTY
The Knowles KW 1 and KW2 Farm is a 2392 head wean to feeder operation. It has four buildings
on site with 3 lagoons. Two of .the lagoons are pumped into one large lagoon where all the
wastewater is pumped for land application. The waste utilization plan has not been prepared as of
this date. The Duplin County Soil and Water Conservation Office will prepare it now that the total
wetted acres has been established. It is expected that the Waste Plan will be developed based on
present crop yield rates. If in the future the yield rates change, then the labor intensive areas to
irrigate can be reduced. The total wetted acres based on this irrigation plan is 11.61 by solid set
irrigation, system and 3.06 by use of a honey wagon. The honey wagon will be discussed later in this
design. .
A solid -set (permanent) irrigation system is recommended. All sprinklers will be single nozzle, and
some will be full -circle sprinklers while others will be part circle sprinklers. Spacing on all, of the
sprinklers is 80' x 80'. The sprinkler radius is approximately 66.5'. The sprinkler spacing' is
3 approximately 60% of the diameter of the sprinkler throw, which is an acceptable spacing according
' to the. manufacturer's recommendations. Recommended average sprinkler operating ' pressure is 55
psi.
A 25' buffer is observed around -the perimeter of the sprayfield where property lines exists. This'
regulation is governed by the rules related to existing farms.
For Zones 1 through 3 the pump and motor shall be a John Deere 4039D with a Berkeley B3JQBM
pump. For. Zone 4 the pumping unit will be a 10hp electric motor with a Berkeley B1.5TPM
centrifugal pump. The main line as well as sections of the lateral lines will be 6 inch PVC (PR 200 -
SDR- 21) or 4 and 2 inch PVC (PR 160 - SDR 26). The PVC pipe will be bell and gasket pipe. A
4" brass gate valve will control the flow of the water in Zone 4. A 6" and 4" lagoon riser will be
used for ' the ground entry of the mainlines, this will also include pressure gauge, air relief, and
pressure relief valves. . These valves will be 2" aluminum valves. The system will consist of 56
Senninger 7025 plastic full circle sprinklers and 46 Nelson P65 plastic part circle sprinklers. These
• sprinklers will be mounted on V risers with Webstermatic valves. Each sprinkler will be equipped
with an 18" aluminum nipple with locking collar, to allow the operator to remove the sprinklers from
the risers. Air relief valves will be placed in the system to eliminate any damage from water
hammer. There should be thrust blocks where the supply line comes from the pump and makes its
ground entry, at all tees, ells, and end of laterals.
! For Zone 4 the pump and electric motor should be a 10hp single phase with a capacity of 134.4 GPM
at 176.6 TDH (76.0 psi) with a pump efficiency of at least 74% and a NPSHR less than 10'. The
pump wilI be equipped with a 1.5 'x 2" discharge priming valve to prevent the water frorri backing
through the system when the system is not in use.. There also will be a properly sized 'starter panel,
and a main disconnect. This panel will be equipped with proper size fuses for the safety of the electric
motor. On the suction side of the pump there will be a 4" supply line with a 4" basket strainer on the
end. The line will be floated to prevent settlement on the bottom of the lagoon.

acres is McC soil with 6-15 % slope. The operator should be aware that this area of greater slope is the
critical area to watch for run-off. Full' circle'sprinklers will be applying waste at .20 in/hr, however, part
circle sprinklers will be applying waste at .5 in/hr. It is believed that the well drained soil will take this
rate.

System Oyeration;
This system has 3 separate main zones which can only be run one zone at a time. A fourth zone is set-up
separately and will be run by an electric motot independent of the other 3 main zones. The actual run
times for each zone is stated in TABLE 3 - SOLID SET IRRIGATION SPRINKLER SETTINGS. The
operator is advised that this system will require intense management. ALL PART, CIRCLE
- SPRINKLERS WILL NEED TO BE INDIVIDUALLY SHUT OFF AFTER 1 HR OF OPERATION.
Since the lagoon is a temporary storage area, it•is important that the lagoon be pumped regularly during
the times that are allowed in the Waste Utilization Plan. This will allow the lagoon to provide the
necessary storage during the worst conditions.
It is important that the operator follow this plan as well as the waste management plan. When applying
irrigation the operator• should take notice of the conditions. (See information' on when to irrigate). The
design amount of wastewater sprayed per cycle is 1". We feel that 1" is a sufficient amount of water to
apply per cycle on the crops to get realistic yields. There should not be another application applied until
the amount applied in -the previous cycle has been used by Evaprotranspiration, (ET): This usually takes
anywhere from three to five days, depending on the climate of the area.
During the winter months when temperatures are below freezing the risers need to be drained at least into
= the lateral lines. Water should not freeze at the buried depth of 36" which is the recommended depth of
the laterals as well as the main lines. The, pump, suction, and discharge should all be drained during
freezing temperatures. Spraying should never take place during freezing temperatures. It is also
1 important not to spray when the soil is at its full saturation rate, if spraying occurs, it may cause runoff
or ponding. The ideal wind conditions are when the wind speed is less than ten mph. Irrigation should
not take place when the speed is over ten mph, this will prevent any wind drift.
r Sprinklers and air relief/vacuum release valves should be checked periodically to ensure that they are
J operating properly. Check to ensure that the pressure gauge at the pump is operating properly. It is not
necessary for the pump and panel to be under shelters, but it is highly recommended.

ADDITIONAL ACRES NOT WETTED BY
SOLID SET SPRINKLER SYSTEM
1
This farm contains approximately 3.06 acres of land which is not allowed to be counted as effective
wetted acres. Although much of this land is receiving waste, current regulations require the effective
area to be within 60% of the sprinkler. .Therefore, many farms, as is the case here, have land
"} available but cannot make use of it due to the effective area reduction. In order to solve this
problem, this plan shall incorporate the use of a honey wagon to distribute waste into the areas that
cannot be effectively wetted by the proposed solid set irrigation system. The map is marked showing
the areas to be covered by the honey wagon. Preliminary calculations indicate that 13.5 acres are
required for the waste plan. The solid set will wet 11.61 acres. Therefore, the honey wagon will
need to apply waste onto 1.89 acres.
Based on the total volume to be pumped (1,583,568 gallons), each acre of the 13.5 would receive
117,301 gallons. The honey wagon will need to distribute 221,699 gallons every 180 days.- It, is
reasonable to believe that one 1,000 gallon load could be Ioaded and dumped in 45 minutes. The
following requirements are set forth with regards to use of the honey wagon:
1 - A 1,000 gallon tank shall be used.
2 - The liquid should be dumped at a rate of t 66 gallons per minute.
3 - The liquid should be spread over a width of t 15'.
4 - The travel speed should be at t 2 mph.
5 - This will apply the liquid at a rate of .16 in/hr which is within the limits of the soil and crop
specified in the plan.
6 - This method will require 222 loads per 180 days. Assuming 12 Ioads per day, 18.5 days
will be needed to complete this task.
7 - The operator should be aware that he will travel over the same areas many times during the
course of dumping the 222 loads. .

THRUSTBLOCKS,
Thrust blocking prevents main fine from moving when the pressure bad is applied- In ef-
fect, the thrust block transfers the load from the pipe to a wider load bearing surface. Thrust r
blocks are required where fitting's are used to change the direction (i.e., at all ties, elbows, wyes,
caps, valves, hydrants and reducers) of the pipeline. The thrust backing must be formed against
a solid trench wall and these fitting areas must be excavated by hand because mechanical
equipment will damage the bearing surface of the trench wall.
The size and type of thrust block depends on pipe size, line pressure, type of fitting, degree
of bend and type of soil. In most cases, the size acid type of -thrust block will be determined by.
the engineer. Thrust block'size may be calculated'by the procedures shown: .
STEP 1. Multiply the pipe pressure by the appropriate value shown in the following table to get pounds
thrust per psi working pressure.

The punip should be primed, and ti:.-rr siar;ed by trsm--, ih, piraip srirr-trr panel. The gait
valve or butterny valve should be opr tncd _sloxvly to allov,- the lines to fill Slowly, to avoid
any sudden water hammer in the pvz: pipe Once the lines are filled and You haVC water
corning out of the guns, the valve should be adjusted to the; specified pressure in the
Irrigation Plan. Each gun'should b�- run on a riser for no more time than Specified by the
Irrigation Plan,
2) Shutdown.
Shut down only involves shutting down the power to your electric pump and motor. The
guns should be removed and the risers capped off to avoid any extra application of water.
3) Regular Maintenance,
Regular checkups and inspections cl.uuid he grade of the punip, su::.tion line, risers, and
guns. The suction should be kept; cl^;ir of any trash, the guns, punip and motor should be
kept greased. All electrical connections should be kept to code at all times.
4) Winterization.
All lines should be drained as much :is possible. Suction line ,houid be removed from the
water. Guns should be removed frci!o risers and the risers shOUld be capped of The

Prainegrass Management
Also called Rescue grass Grass and "Matua"
Introduction
Frain egrass (also called Rescuegrass or Matua) is a Bromus species, it was introduce
we :r� ago from South America and can be found in pastures, hay meadows, field edge
'along roadsides in many areas. One may find that prairiegrass is classified as Bromus
catharticiis, Vahl„ B. willdenowii, Kunth or B. unioloides, H.B.K. Matua is a "name
just as "Kentucky 3 1 " is a named variety of tall fescue and is classified as B. willder
may sometimes be called "Grasslands Matua" because that is the official name given t
New Zealand Research Division of AgResearch in 1973. In the 1950's there was a loc
of reseuegrass named "Chapel Hill"- it was especially subject to the disease called poi
mildew.

Prainegrass is an ercct, bunch grass that grows up to three feet tall when seed heads
(inflorescence) are present. It is,a perennial, but performs much like an annual in this
environment. It wits produce seedheads during each regrowth period of three to six we ks,
especially from April through October. The seedhead is an open, drooping panicle wil . flat
spikelets, each containing 6 to 12 florets (seeds).
The sheaths are rolled in oval shape, and the leaves are flat or slightly folded; the basa .eaf
sheaths are covered with many fine hairs. Leaves are I/4 to %2 inch wide and may be c to 18
irches long. It has no auricles, but the ligule is long, membranous and fringed,
Possible Uses
Prairiegrass is highly palatable and may be used for grazing, hay or silage. Most' anin ,ls (cattle,
goats, horses, sheep and wildlife) will eat it well and animal performance potential is g od to
excellent, When given access to a field containing prairiegrass in mixture with fescue,
orchardgrass, or bermudaa ass cattle tend to select it over the others.
Because of its seasonal growth pattem and response to moisture and fertility it is usefu in
cropping systems where confinement animal wastes are land applied. It offers an alter hive to
annual ryegrass and cereals for winter forage, with the added advantage that it is more roductive
later into the summer than all of the winter annuals.
Prairiegrass may be grown with clovers and alfalfa, but it may become very competitiv if

gromgh is not harvested or grazed in a timely way.
Adaptation and Performance Characteristics
Soils... Pralrlegrass is best adapted to well drained coarser textured so!1S (sandy loam, ' amy
sand, loam), however it will grow well on fine textured soils that are well drained. It is not as
productive nor competitive on poorly drained soils as on well drained soils. It does'not to as well
zr ., hia ar'd berinuda on droughty soils, but it is better adapted than fescue, orchardgn s or
=.URI ryagrass. It responds to moisture and high fertility when the stands are dense.
Seasonal growth pattern... The seasonal growth pattern for prairiegrass is somewhat imilar to
tall fescue and annual ryegrass with more than half of the annual yield produced in the vlarch-
June period. During December through February it produces slightly more than tall &e ue and
annual ryegrass. Summer growth of the cool season grasses is not usually significant, it
prairiegrass seems to be more productive than others (such as tall fescue and orchardgn 3s) when
moisture is available. Summer production is not nearly as much as with bermudagrass
crabgrass, sudangrass, millet, bluestems, switchgress or gamagrass. Summer growth v 11 always
produce seedheads after three .to six weeks of regrowth, whereas, fescue and orchardgr; ;s will
��:Fve seedheads after the spring growth is harvested.
Realistic Yield Expectations... Yields of pure stands of prairiegrass usually range fror 3 to 5
tons dry matter per acre, but may be higher when dense stands are -supplied with favors le
mo?sture and nutrients. There are virtually no documented data available for realistic y -.ads of
prairiegrass on many soils and at 'various N levels in North Carolina. Until further date ire
collected, the following suggestions may be useful for estimating expected yields for c nse
stands of prairiegrass grown alone or in mixture with berrnuda.
Pure stands ... There are very limited comparisons of pure stands of prairiegrass with of er
species, especially when the prairiegrass was allowed to reseed. The data in tables 14 :ornpare
it with other cool season grasses in tests where reseeding was not allowed. Results for i e first
year of each test may give an indication of how it would perform with full stands; seco: i and
third year results were poor because stands always thinned in absence of reseeding. W..:n
tsti:nating potential RYE for pure stands of prairiegrass consider the following compar ions with
tall fescue:
A. On soils where both fescue and prairiegrass are well adapted, the yields ofprair grass
may be 1 to 1.5 times more than fescue.
S. On sandy, well drained, to excessively drained soils, prairiegrass may yield 1.5 ) 3 times
more than tall fescue.
C. On wet'or poorly drained soils, prairiegrass may yield .75 to L0 times as much .s fescue.
Mixed stands with bermudagrass.. Prairiegrass makes more than half its annual gro%% 1 in
March -June and another 15-25% during the September -December period, whereas berg ide
makes most of its growth in June -August. Therefore these species will compete for nu7 rents and
light during the months of overlap, and management during those periods can shift the atanical.

composition significantly.
='Tile annual yield of this mixture (prairiegrass-bermuda) on adapted soil`s will of be
additive of each species grown alone. However, a general guide is that the mixture wi likely
yield L3 to 1.6 times as much as bermuda grown alone; this means yields of well main wined
mixtures; may range from 4 to 8 tons/acre on productive soils receiving adequate moist re and
timely harvest management.
Nutrie'ist-composition.. The nutritive value of the forage is strongly related to prior fe, iiization
and the'age-or�stagd of growth at time of harvest or grazing. When harvested at vegeta ve to
early heading stage of growth the protein content of prairiegrass may range from 12 to & % and
the TDN may range from 60 to 72 %. The nutritive value of prairiegrass stems/seedhe ds tends
to decline slightly slower than other cool season grasses, but very mature plants may c. ztain less
than 10% protein and 55% TDN.
When grown with bermudagrass, the composition of the mixture will be somewhat les,
due to
the relatively lower nutritive value of the bermudagrass component.
Disease.,. Prairiegrass will often (most every spring) be infected with a disease called l
)wdery
mildew, To minimize the impact of this disease, it is best to immediately mow or grax
the
F.iwc.ed growth to a 3 to 4 inch stubble. Often the mildew is more pronounced on "olc
vegetation, therefore mowing or grazing schedules may have to be modified to address
he
problem. There are no pesticides registered in the USA to control this disease on form
crops.
Establishment
Planting d2tes.. The optimum time to plant is September - October, but its possible t. get
stands (with more risk) in November and March. Planting on prepared seedbed in earl;
September will usually result in more fall growth, however seedlings can be stressed a) i killed
Wien moisture is severely limiting. If planting into bermudagrass sod, consideration h ; to be
made for the competition from the existing bermuda. Evert though bennuda may not b growing
rapidly during September, the evapotranspiration rate can mean limiting of soil moistu : for
young seedlings. To minimize this effect, one can plant in October when bermuda is nc very
competitive. It is possible to plant into bermuda sod in September if moisture is not lit iting or if
berntuda top growth is killed with a contact herbicide like Gramoxone.
Planting depth... Prairiegrass establishment is very sensitive to planting depth (optimi n is,1/4
to % inch). Many thin and poor stands have been caused by planting too deep.
7 ..sting metbod... Establishment may be obtained by planting into a completely prep. -ed
seedbed or by no -till planting into closely clipped or grazed sod, Drilling seeds to pro :r depth
improves the odds of obtaining good stands. However, broadcast seeding onto comple dy
prepared seedbed; followed by rolling with a cultipacker has given satisfactory stands. ieedling
development and early growth rates will be better from prepared seedbeds than from nc till
planting into sod, especially bermudagrass sod.
0 %Daia DOKW siilvM="jjr&%s P wy =aoo.wPD

OCY—li-00 11:47 AM I P.07
When planting into sod, it is essential that the eatisting sod be short (less than 3-inches, with very
little surface "thatch" which prevents seed contact with the soil. If sod planting into ac ively
growing bermuda it will be necessary to "temporarily stunt' the bermuda with a herbic 3e or
light cultivation as away to reduce competition for light and moisture. Be aware that ' :is option
' 'al�S"a level of risk into the survival of the bermuda, especially if late summer N and I
man agement are out of balance or an insect outbreak occurs. Planting in October or of ;r the
bermuda has been "frosted" will mean very Iittle growth of prairiegrass before spring.
Planting rates,,. seeds are large (about 35,000-50,000 seeds/lb), compared to tali fesct ; or
ryegrass (225,000-250,000) and seedling vigor is not proportionally better. Plant 30- 5 lbs
whcn drilling, but 35-40 when broadcasting on surface and rolling. As with any specif , if
conditions (planting date, soil contact, depth, moisture) are not optimum, consider incr asing
seeding rates up to 50 percent.
V,Ii+ nteer reseeding... Even though prairiegrass is considered a "perennial" it practic
,ly
performs as an annual. To maintain productive stands for several years it will be nece
iary to
manage at least one growth cycle each year for seed production and shatter. Seed -set r
ay be
encouraged anytime from*May through August, however mid -summer seed production
.ends to
minimize the amount of loss in forage quality/yield since it is a time when the plant na
irally
makes less foliage growth; plenty of seed should be produced in June -July.' Obtaining
uccessful
volunteer stands will depend on seed viability and control of competition from other e!
1blished
grasses during the September through October period. Germinating seeds and develop
ig
seedlings will need to receive sunlight and moisture to survive. If prairiegrass is being
rown on
bennudagrass it will be necessary to graze or mow the bermuda closely in early Septer.

There will be an advantage. to lightly disturbing the soil surface to provide some soil to

Contazt in many years.
Fertilization
Many people have said that 700 to 800 lbs of Nitrogen can be taken up by "Matua"; up ike and
plant survival of such rates are only part of the story. It is true that the grass may survi -. such
rates, but crop uptake and efficiency of Nitrogen recovery are strongly related to dry m tter
yicldc of any crop. When considering a realistic yield that can be expected in this envi mment
and management scheme, it is likely that such rates would result in significant losses o N to the
environment, There is no controlled and documented evidence that shows it is practic . to apply
such rates to any crop in NC nor elsewhere. Even in controlled greenhouse trials, the N -ecovery
efficiencies drop significantly when N applications were above 250 to 400 lbs/acre/yea
Prairiegrass, like most other cool season grasses will perform best when pH is above 6, and P
and K index are medium or better. The P and K composition in tissue is similar to otht grasses,
however when high rates are being applied to land, all grasses will take up "luxury" air 'unts of
K; K composition is usually similar to N composition in most forage grasses.
According to reports from Pennsylvania prairiegrass may contain lower levels of certa i trace
elements such as magnesium and iodine than other cool season grasses.

Pure Stands ...Prairiegrass responds to high fertility, especially when moisture is avai Ible.
However, its Nitrogen composition may be more similar to ryegrass than tall fescue of
arc-hr.rdgrass; this means that it may contain about 45 to 55 lbs N/ton dry matter, depei ling on
timing of fertilizer applications, -age or stage of plant growth and presence of powdery iildew
disease, It should receive most of its N during the September -October and late Februa r through
May months, Consider the following N management for dense pure stands;
A. At establishment of the prairiegrass (fall planting) apply between 60-75 b5
N/acre.
B On established stands of prairiegrass and ones that have reseeded satisf. Gorily,
apply about 75-100 Ibs of Nlacre during the September through Novem er period;
it would be best to apply most of the N early in this season (September- arly
October) and hold the amount applied in November to below 50 Ibs/acr
C. During December and January do not apply any N, unless there was not : or very
little applied during the September through November period, then con! 4er
applying Iess than 20 lbs/acre .
D. During the February through May period apply no more than 60-75 lbs 'per
application and no more than this amount during any 3)0 day period. It, ould be
best to apply, less than the 60 Ibslacre in February, unless plants are sho, ing signs
of deficiency or growing conditions are favorable for rapid plant growtr
E. During the June through August period prairiegrass may continue grow
Ig if
moisture is available. During these "off months", prairiegrass should no
receive
more than about 25 lbs N/acre/month, not to exceed the annual rate of 4
•55
lbs/ton of dry matter per acre. Only apply 25 lbs N/acre 1n June -August
'the
equivalent of I -inch of water or rainfall can be applied at the same, time,
:f the
crop does not respond with at least 10001bs of growth within a 3.4 wee'
period
do not make another application until the plants have had the opportunit
to make
adequate regrowth.
In Mixture with bermuda... the following assumes that the annual N rate is related tc kyE for
bermuda, and the mixture is being managed for about 40% of the annual yield from be] iuda and
about 60% from the prairiegrass. N uptake is closely related to growth, therefore do nc apply
high rates during months when the plants are not growing much.
A. At establishment of the prairiegrass (fall planting) apply between 60-75 )s
N/acre.
B. On established stands of prairiegrass growing on bermuda during the Se tember
through November period apply about 75-1001bs of Nlacre; it would be )est to
apply most of the N early in this season and hgld the amount applied in' ovember
to below 50 lbs/acre.

C. During December and January do not apply any N, unless there was no a or very
little applied during the September through November period, then con ider
applying less than 20 lbs/acre .
D: During the February to October period apply no more than 60-75 lbs N )er .
application and no more than this amount during any 30 day period. It could be
best to apply less than the 60 lbs/acre in February, unless plants are she ring signs
of deficiency or growing conditions are favorable for rapid plant grow
E. During the June through August period a minimum of 60 to 75 lbs/acre should be
available for the bermuda component of the mixture. This does not pre Jude
higher rates in the summer of years when the spring growth of prairiegs ss was
not as productive as expected and•the manager has chosen to shift more )f the
annual N to the summer months. The key is that total N/acre for the ye : should
not exceed RYE levels of Bermuda t prairiegrass (1.3 to 1.6 times RYk for
bermuda
Harvest Management
Bay or allege .... Prairiegrass should be cut in the late boot to early heading stage to p) wide
rapid regrowth and relatively high nutritive value. It should be cut leaving a 3 to 4-ine stubble
because reserve energy storage necessary for regrowth and new tiller buds are located love the
soil surface.
Maintaining a mixture of prairiegrass and-bermudagrass will depend largely on the tin ng of N
applications and harvest schedules. Managing the mixture will require one to favor tht
prairiegrass cutting height since it is much less tolerant of close cutting than bermuda. Harvests
will need to be made prior to full heading stage in April -May to minimize the shading f the
bermuda, which will just be initiating spring green -up. It will be imperative to keep the
prairiegrass harvested in such a way that it does not completely shade the Bermuda. D. -ing the
summer prairiegrass stands are usually "open" enough that bermuda does not receive s ;scant
shading.
When seed -set is desired the harvest should be after seeds have fully formed and are bi wn and
easy to shatter as one walks through the field. Usually it takes about 40-50 days for ne r. growth
to projuce viable seeds; this will depend on temperature and moisture during the regro nth
period. Seeds produced in spring are usually larger and more -vigorous than those prods :ed in
Iate summer.
;rzzing... Prairiegrass should be rotationally grazed when it reaches a height of 10 to ; inches
and should not be grazed below a 3 to 4 inch stubble. Depending on &,.e temperature a i soil
moisture it may be ready to regraze every 14 to. 45 days, except in middle of summer a 3 winter.

Summary Precautions
Growing'prairiegrass for use as &,receiver -of confinement animal waste will require a ; .gh level
of rniQeih' ent in order to maintain satisfactory stands. Maintaining ,either pure stand or
mixtures with benmdagrass will require managers to pay close attention to favoring p driegrass
in a way not usually required far growing fescue or bermudagrass. To maintain a usefi mixture
will require close attention to the crop condition on a frequent basis (every 2.3 weeks)
If management is primarily directed at getting the most yield from the prairiegrass, the expect
the'yield of the berrnuda component of the mixture to be reduced by 3 0 to 60 % as coin 3ared to
`be'rmuda growing alone. On the other hand, if the mixture is managed to favor bcrmuc i using
high summer N rates and close cutting heights, without regard to reseeding of the praii :grass
one can expect unsatisfactory stands.
Nutrient uptake is very closely related to dry matter production and thinning stands in , i animal
waste application site may result in notices of violation leading to penalties such as fin s or
required reductions in animal numbers to the level that the remaining crop can sustain.
cmt managers have not previously exhibited the high level of management skill that - 'ill be
rsadcd to maintain either pure stands nor mixtures of prairiegrass, therefore they shoul carefully
evaluate their willingness and ability to incorporate this grass into -their nutrient manag ment
plans. On the other hand, those who can and will make the necessary decisions to maim tin stands
should make use of the potential that is available.
All managers should be aware that the guidelines and restrictions for grazing and dispo sl of
harvested hay/silage are the same for this crop/mixtures as for other forage crops,
In summary, understand that any of the following can impact the productivity and pers; tence of
plx-e : tands or mixtures of prairiegrass, and the manager is the one responsible for seeir ; that the
�rcP performance meets the nutrient uptake goals for the site. Successful stands will h ige on
many interacting things; moisture variation, temperature variation, timing of nutrient
applications, balance of applied nutrients, amount of nutrient applied, disease, insect ft 4izlg,
cutting times, cutting heights and soil characteristics. Keeping good records of when tl ags are
done or observed can be valuable in solving problems. Documenting dry matter yields an be
useful in knowing how well the nutrient management plan is working.

. System Calibration
Information � `presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average of !ration
conditions with r6latively new equipment, Discharge rates and application rates range
over.;tirr61:As equipment gets older and components wear. In particular, pump wea tends
to eeduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, no..zle wear result in an '
ri'c='z:Ki4ncrease in the nozzle opening which will increase the discharge rate while decree; lg the
F wetted' -diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed In the des jn will
alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently 1he app ration
uniformity. For example, operating the.system with excessive pressure results in railer
droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. C gging
of nozzles can result In pressure Increase. Plugged intakes or crystallization of mi nlines
will reduce operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduc is the
coverage diameter and application uniformity.
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to nsure
proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three y era is
recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several local )ns in
the application area. Any number of containers can be used to collect fic i and
determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because they already 13ve a
graduated scale from which to read the application amount without having to f irform
additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets, Jars, or anything with a t liform
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 through it the
application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling guns. $pi lklers
Should be located along a transact perpendicular to the directlon of pull, E !t out
collection containers 25 feet apart along the transact on both sides of the gun car You
should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the application On a
windless day, variation between containers of more than 30 percert Is cause for a icern.
You should contact your Irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

OPERATION A MAINTENANCE PLAN
'roper lagoon management should be a year-round priority. It is especially Important to r inage
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 rop is
dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagress) or when there are extended rainy spells Sul r as a
thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first sign of plant grow0 in the
later winter / early epring, Irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should b done
whenever the lend In dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space avai able in
the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer I early fail the lagoon should be pumpe down
to the ,low marker (see Figure 2.1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be n. ids to .
mere=ern the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste ut zation
.y+es1 will allow H.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached Its maximum storage capacity before starting to irrigatc does
not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. Overflow from the lag on for
any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to penalty ,tion.
The routine maintenance of a lagoon Involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermuc grass
are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilize each
year, If needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount cf fertilized applied hould
be based on a solls test, but In the event that it is not practical to obtain a sr s test
each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas should be fertiliz J with
800 pounds per acre of 10.10-10. or equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be •d ne by
mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or.a combination of these practices This
should be done at least once a year and possibly twlce In years that r father
conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter the 3goon
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 agoon
*nd at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be checked should i :,lude,
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
2

r'+: T-1 1 -00 1 1 : 50 AM
P. 15
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
I wet or damp areas on the back slope.
4. erosion due to lack or 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 lagoc dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave ac 3n, - if
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon r 'ay be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagc n has
any of.these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with desll 1 and
construction of waste lagoons, You may need to provide a temporary fix if the - is a
threat of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed ry the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment Is a : orious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted finless
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 g nding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need of re air or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be Inspected and operated frequently enough :
) that
you are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perforr
your
purnping system maintenance at a time when your lagoon Is at Its low level. T�
s will
allow some safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lai
on is
not the time to think about switching, repairing, or borrowing pumps. Probably,
your
lagoon is full, your neighbor's lagoon Is full also. You should consider maintain
Ig an
inventory of spare parts or pumps.
• Surface water diversion features are designed to Cary all surface dr
nage
waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parts
ig lot
runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or s
gage
structures. The only water that should be coming from your lagoon
o that
which comes from your flushing (washing) system pipes and the rainf.
I that
hits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system :
'r the
following:
I. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3, ridge berm height

OCT-11-00 11:50 AM
P. 16
Identified problems should be corrected promptly, It is advisable to Inspect your ystem
during or immediately fallowing a heavy rain. If technical asslstance Is nee ed to
re:ermine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, ar I then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). 1 GIs will
give you an Idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall , nount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should elp in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, yc i may
have an overflow problem from a surface water diversion or there °may be seepa a into
the lagoon from the surrounding land,
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
1, Immediately after construction establish a complete soak cover on ba a soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before Haste
loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the enc 3f the
pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during Initial filling or a iother
means of slowing the Incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining.
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize b+ aerial
establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with :Mudge from a I :althy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoor liquid
volume. This seeding should occur at least two weeks prior to the add on of
wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7. 3, add
agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid + flume
until the pH rises above 7.0, Optimum lagoon liquid pH is botween 7.5 and, 0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals Inadequate b1c )gical
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 bet :r the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several time daily
are optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildin s are
:rained and recharged each day, also work well.

+ Practice water conservation --- minimize building water usage and splllagi from
leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance anc Nater
conservation.
• Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will redL a the
amount of solids entering the lagoon.
Management:
• Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and tl 3 full
temporary storage level.
Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liqui level
and the maximum liquid level..(Figure 2-1).
• Start irrigating at the earliest possible date In the spring based on r trient
requirements and soll moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized it the
summer thunderstorm season. Simllarly, Irrigate In the late summer 1 early all to
provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter.
The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point ff the
dam or embankment.
Don not pump the lagoon liquid level lower than the permanent storage level Ness
you are removing sludge.
Locate float pump Intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid surfa+ 3 and
as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible,
• Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation, r �Ided
feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials Into the lagoon.
• Frequently remove solids from catch basins at and of confinement hou: )s 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 ull or
before it fills SO percent of the permanent storage volume.
• If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible -for obtainir 1 and
implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a pollutant discharge.
1.1tidge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:

P. 18
proper lagoon sizing,
• . mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids In an appropriately designed basin, or
r minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
a have more nutrients,
• have more odor, and
a require more land to property use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
• Hire a custom applicator.
a Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper - agitator impeller pump througt arge -
bore sprinkler Irrigation system onto nearby cropland; and soil incorporate.
• Dewater the upper part of lagoon by Irrigation onto nearby cropland or foragele d; mix
remaining sludge; pump Into liquid sludge applicator; haul and spread onto crot and or
foregeland; and soil Incorporate.
• Dewater the' upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or fore eland;
dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm an area beside agoon
to receive the sludge so that liquids can draln back Into lagoon; allow sit lge to
dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader onto cropland or foregeland; + Id soil
Incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for Naste
constituents Just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain d `erent
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields 411 be
ilmited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field ar I 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 d4 nags.
Close attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoo liner
remains intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturb( I, you
should stop the activity Immediately and not resume until you are sure that the slud a can
be removed without liner Injury. If the liner Is damaged It must be repaired as s4 )n as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal c
Pntent
!han liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphor
s and
metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of a
)slon.
Note. that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphors, it she
ild be
applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other v
istes,
always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste appllcatic I site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions Nhich
could Increase the concern of neighbors.

fte Bible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the str cture.
Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and bra ich of
rho dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsit Ity for
ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures Include;
a Modification of the lagoon Structure -- an example Is the placement of a pipe in i e darn
without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert In lagoon desigr before
placing any pipes In dams.)
0 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 ram lal, 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 muse
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause < 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 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 transact perpendicular to the direction of pull. Set out
collection containers 25 feet apart along the transact 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.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon 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 bermudegrass) or when there are extended rainy spells such as a
thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first sign of plant growth in the
later winter / early spring. Irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done
whenever the land in 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 Irrigated 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 bermudegrass
are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each
year, If needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilized 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 chemleals 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

P.04
OCT-11-00 01:$1 PM
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 or 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 of 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

OCT-11-00 01:31 PM
P.05
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 overflow 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 occur 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 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.

• Practice water conservation --- minimize building water usage and spillage from
leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water
conservation.
• Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will reduce the
amount of solids entering the lagoon.
Management:
• Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full
temporary storage level.
• Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level
and the maximum liquid level. (Figure 2-1).
• Start Irrigating at the earllest possible date in the spring based on nutrient
requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized for the
summer thunderstorm season. Similarly, Irrigate In the late summer / early fall to
provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter.
• The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the
dam or embankment.
• Don not pump the lagoon liquid level lower than 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:
5

P.07
OCT-11-00 01 :32 PM
• proper lagoon sl2ing,
• 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.
• oewater 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 Ilquid. 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 laid 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 soll-test phosphors, 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 Iniet 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 posslble dam failure.

MORTALITY MANAGEMENT METHODS
(Check which method(s) are being implemented)
( ) Burial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours after
knowledge of the death. The burial will be at least 300 feet from any flowing
stream or public body of water.
(✓ ) Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G. S. 106 - -166.7
( ) Complete incineration
( ) In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design
approved by the Department of Agriculture.
( ) Any method which in the professional opinion of the State Veterinarlan would
make possible the salvage of part of a dead anlmal's value without endangering
human or animal health. (Written approval of the State Veterinarian must be

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 concern. You should contact your irrigation
dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from' your operation are leaking,
overflowing or running off site. You should not wail until wastes reach surface waters or
leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort'
to ensure that this doe not happen.. This plan should be posted in an accessible location
for all employees at the facility, The following are some action items you should take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be
possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a. Add'soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B. -Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
-� a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.'
c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoff.
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Close values to eliminate further discharge.
d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
D. Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid separators -action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. make sure no siphon occurs.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems or solid separators.
e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed
to flowing, leaks -possible action:
" a. Dig a small sump or ditch away from the embankment to catch all
seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump, back to lagoon.
b- If holes are'caused b burrowinganimals, trapor remove animals and fill
J. holes and'corripact with` a clay typsoil.��
�,.,.
Have'a professional evaluate the 6 nditiori of the"side "walls' and lagoon
bottom as soon as possible:
i1f Lr 7

2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
c. Any damage notes, such -as employee injury, fish kilts ,or property damage?
d. Did the spill leave the property?
e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters?
f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters?
g. Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off the property)?
h. How much reached surface waters?
3. Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours call your DWQ regional office; Phone - -. After
hours, emergency number: 919-733-3942. Your phone call should include: your
name, facility number, telephone number, the details of the incident from item 2
above, the exact location of the facility, the location or direction of movement of
the spill, weather and wind conditions. The corrective measures that have been
under taken, and the seriousness of the situation.
b. If spill leaves property or enters surface waters, call local EMS phone number -
c. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department.' '
d. Contact CES, phone number - -, local SWCD office phone number.- - , and
local NRCS office for advice/technical assistance phone number - -.
4. If none of the above works call 911 or the Sheriffs Department and explain your
problem to them and ask the person to contact the proper agencies for you.
5. Contact the contractor of your choice to begin repair of problem to minimize off -
site damage.
