Si nature Date! 360-1 NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE CONSERVATION PRACTICE STANDARD CLOSURE OF WASTE IMPOUNDMENTS (Number) Code 360 DEFINITION The closure of waste impoundments (treatment lagoons and waste storage ponds), that are no longer used for their intended purpose, in an environmentally safe manner. PURPOSE This practice may be applied as part of a conservation management system to support one or more of the following purposes. • To protect the quality of surface water and groundwater resources; • To eliminate a safety hazard for humans and livestock; • To safeguard the public health. CONDITIONS WHERE PRACTICE APPLIES This practice applies to animal Waste Treatment Lagoons and Waste Storage Ponds (impoundments) that are no longer used for their original intended purpose. CRITERIA Objective The objective is to remove waste materials to the maximum extent practicable from a lagoon/structure prior to closure. Water Quality Testing No special water quality testing will be required, unless the waste impoundment is a candidate for the Alternate Method of Closure. All sludge will be removed as determined by visual inspection. Removal of Inflow Devices All devices used to convey animal waste into the lagoon or storage pond shall be removed. Spillways All abandoned impoundments that are not breached or filled that have an embankment of 3 feet or more, shall have a principal spillway and an emergency spillway installed that meets the requirements of the Pond Conservation Practice Standard (Code 378). Excavated Pits For excavated pits that were previously used for waste treatment lagoons or waste storage ponds that are to be closed, all reasonable efforts must be made to agitate and remove all waste materials. If the bottom of the lagoon/structure is above the water table at the time of closure and will support earth -moving equipment, it must be scraped. A qualified technical. specialist must determine the sail stability for earth moving equipment. For lagoons/structures that are not to be scraped and those with bottoms documented to be below the water table at the time of closure, the depth of "agitated" waste material remaining in the lagoon/structure at the time of closure may not exceed a maximum depth of one (1) foot. The wastewater will be analyzed and land applied in accordance wih the requirements of the Waste Utilization Conservation Practice Standard (Code 633). Once all sludge is removed, the owner has the* option of using the structure as a fresh water pond, or the pit may be filled. Embankment Structures If a lagoon/structure is to be breached, the liquid must be pumped out and the remaining waste material scraped. Reasonable efforts must be made to remove all waste materials prior to closure. For impoundments not to be breached, reasonable efforts must be made to agitate and Conservation practicc standards are reviewed periodically, and updated if needed. To obtain the current version of this standard, contact the Natural Resources Conservation Service. 360-3 PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS Plans and specifications for closure of abandoned waste treatment lagoons and waste storage ponds shall be in keeping with this standard and shall describe the requirements for applying the practice to achieve its intended purpose. . if the waste facility being converted to a fresh water pond is required to meet the Pond Conservation Practice Standard (Code 378) , the plans and specifications will also be in keeping with the requirements of that standard. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE A properly decommissioned waste impoundment should require little or no operation and maintenance; however, if it has been converted to another use, such as a fresh water pond, operation and maintenance will be in accordance with the needs as set forth in the Pond Conservation Practice Standard (Code 378). NRCS, NC March 2002 Closure of Waste Impoundments Definition The closure of impoundments (treatment lagoons and waste storage ponds), that are no longer used for their intended purpose in an environmentally safe manner. Objective The objective is to re -move waste materials (liquid and solids) to the maximum extent practicable; as determined by a representative of DSWC or NRCS, from a lagoon/structure prior to closure. Water Quality Testing No special water quality testing will be required, but a waste analysis and a soil samples will be needed. All sludge will be removed as determined by visual inspection. Removal of Inflow Devices All devices used to convey animal waste into the lagoon or storage pond shall be removed. Excavated Exits For waste storage poncis that are to be closed, all reasonable efforts must be made to agitate and remove all waste materials. If the bottom of the structure is above the water table at the time of closure and will support earth -moving equipment, it must be scraped. A qualified technical specialist must determine the soil stability for earth moving equipment. The waste water will be analyzed and applied to crops at agronomic rates based on the Waste Utilization Plan. Once all sludge is removed, the structure will be filled. Embankment Structures If a lagoon/structure is to be breached, the liquid must be pumped out and the remaining waste material scraped. Reasonable efforts must be made to remove all waste materials prior to closure. For impoundments not to be breached, reasonable efforts must be made to agitate and remove all waste materials. If the bottom of the lagoon/structure is above the water table at the time of closure and will support earth -moving equipment, it must be'scraped. A qualified technical specialist must determine the soil stability for earth moving equipment. The waste water will be analyzed and applied to crops at agronomic rates based on the Waste Utilization Plan. The embankrinent -wil, be breached so that it will no longer impound liquid, the slopes and bottom of the brzacin s:.aM be stable for the soil material involved, but the side slopes shall be 2.5:1.

Thorpe, Ph.D., Acting Director Division of Water duality WATER QUALITY SECTION January 14, 2002 Operation Review/Compliance Bell Dairy, Facility #: 49-44 Iredell County, NC The year 2002 is the beginning of the fifth year of the animal operation inspection program. Given this, there should be no misunderstanding as to what is required. However, as a reminder, the following information is a partial list of what is required: • A copy of the Permit, Certified Farm Plan, and Certification form(s) must be available for review. The certified farm plan must be followed (application rates, fields used for waste application, and crops grown to receive waste must be adhered to). You are in violation if you do not comply with any aspect of your farm plan or permit. • Annual soil analysis (properly documented) is required. The soils lab states that the preferred time (for efficiency) to process samples for analysis is between May and September. • Waste analyses must be conducted within 60 days of the waste application date. If the results are irregular, this should give adequate time to collect/analyze a new sample. • Waste application records. The records should be complete and legible. Errors should not be erased, but marked through and the correct information written on the following line. Remember, although the information may be clear to you or the operator, the information must be understandable to the person(s) performing the review. • Weekly freeboard records must be maintained. The "pump marker" must be clearly marked and visible at all times. There should be no question as to what is the pump marker during an inspcetion. • A certified operator must be designated. By completing a form and mailing to DWQ. • The facility must be maintained and operated according to the operation and maintenance information enclosed in the farm plan. This includes maintaining the area (mowing) around buildings and the lagoon/storage pond embankments. The list above comprises the majority, but certainly not all, of the requirements that must be followed. If permitted, the conditions of your permit should be review by you and your operator. Failure to have the necessary information available for inspection or to comply with the conditions of your permit could result in a Notice of Violation or further enforcement actions. If there is any uncertainty on your part regarding compliance with the permit, please feel free to contact Rocky Durham with the Division of Soil and Water or me at (704) 663-1699.

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. 1R.Rl, M2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLURI, SLUR2, SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an appropriate enforcement action. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting requirement.

Bell Rt. 15, Box 210 Statesville, NC 28677 Subject: Notice of Violation Animal Operation Site Inspection NCGS 143-215.1 (a) Bell Dairy, Facility #: 49-44 Iredell County, NC Dear Mr. Bell: . This Notice of Violation (NOV) is being issued for a discharge observed during the inspection conducted by Mr. Alan Johnson of this Office at your dairy on September 16, 1997. The discharge was observed by Mr. Johnson flowing from the main feedlot into a draw behind the facility. The discharge is a violation of the deemed permitted status pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 (a) and Administrative Code Section 15A NCAC 2H .0217, and must be ceased immediately. It is requested that a written response be submitted to this office by September 30, 1997 indicating the actions taken to correct the noted problem. Please address your response to Mr. Johnson. It was also noted during the inspection that the storage pond was near capacity and needs to be pumped as soon as possible. Vegetation on the sideslopes of the pond prevented a proper inspection from being performed. The vegetation must be cut and maintained for future inspections. Be advised that this notice does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking enforcement actions for this or any other violations. Also, be advised that North Carolina General Statutes provide for penalties of up to $10,000 per day per violation for noncompliance with state environmental laws and regulations. 919 North Main Street, * FAX 704-663-6040 Mooresville, North Carolina 28115 Nvf C An Equal Oppertunity/At;irmative Action Employer Voice 704-663-1699 , ^ ..� . 500% recycled/100% post -consumer paper I Page Two If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact either D.

The discharge was tracked approximately 300 yards into a wooded area. Although flow appeared negligible, it did not end at this point. It was evident that the discharge had been occurring for some time. 3) A proper inspection of the storage pond was not possible due to vegetative growth on the side slopes. The vegetation needs to be cut. It was evident that the pond was near capacity and needs to be pumped. 9) Determining the exact level of the waste in the storage pond was difficult due to vegetation on the storage pond. An NOV will be issued for the discharge. Mr. Bell accepted a farm plan (not certified) by the NRCS in May of 1997. Mr. Bell has made no observable improvements. A FOLLOW -UP INSPECTION WILL BE PERFORMED IN THE NEAR FUTURE. o •"`"r.... .'r.'^�,drw.13'�eL�°'at'ta''.r aC "'° ^x• t tx g _ Reviewer/InspectorName v 1l�IIV�.,�' *• �D.JtYI C?�� ", a f ,:� " r� �a .r e, K ►i' Reviewer/Inspector Signature: Date: cc.

Statesville, NC 28677 Subject: Temporary storage of Storage Pond Crust Bell Dairy, Facility #: 49-44 Iredell County, NC Dear Mr. Bell: This Ietter is in regards to your conversation with Mr. Johnson of this Office on December 18, 1998. As discussed with Mr. Johnson, the crust from the upper storage pond can be temporarily stored in the area adjacent to the structure. As agreed to, the crust will be covered with plastic and an earthen berm will be constructed to prevent any leachate from entering the clean water dropbox. Remember that a waste analysis should be performed at time of application in the spring.

Bell 315 Bell Farm Rd. Statesville, NC 28677 Subject: Site Inspection Bell Dairy, Facility #: 49-44 Iredell County, NC Dear Mr. Bell: Mr. Alan Johnson of this office has been asked on several occasions about the appropriate time and proper method to take soil and waste samples. Also, during his inspections, he has noticed that while the storage capacity may be adequate in the storage pond/lagoon, in some cases it was not at the level set forth in the waste utilization plan. Mr. Johnson has also noted that some animal operations using hay/pasture systems do not appear to be properly managing the hay crop in the waste application fields. This letter is to highlight some concerns and provide some general guidance regarding the management of the storage pond/lagoon and waste application fields. For more specific/detailed information, please contact your technical specialist or your local agricultural extension service. Be advised that should a farm be found violating its farm plan and/or have an unpermitted discharge, besides facing civil penalties, the facility could be required to apply for an individual permit. Currently, most farms are operating under a general permit. Waste applications Just as you manage the animals at your facility, proper management of the waste (lagoon/storage pond level) is important. The waste must be pumped from the ponds at the correct time and provide for maximum utilization of the nutrients by the crop. Remember, waste application rates in your farm plan are based on agronomic principles, and assumes the waste will be applied when the nutrients are required (e.g., applying waste to com at tasseling or bermuda grass in November is of little use for the uptake of nitrogen). Also, the established application rate assumes that the previous crop has been removed from the field. 919 NORTH MAIN STREET, MOOREovILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 281 16 PHONE 704-663-1 699 FAX 704.663-6040 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY 1AFFI RMATIYE ACTION EMPLOYER- 50% RECYCLE0/10% POST -CONSUMER PAPER Page 2 Grass and small grain crops grown for hay should be harvested in a timely manner. To maximize nutrient uptake, as indicated in the waste utilization plan, and for highest quality, the crop should be harvested at early boot stage (generally every 4 to 5 weeks). Small grain for silage can be harvested in the soft dough stage when direct cut. Contact your agricultural extension agent or technical specialist for proper guidance. General RecorMendations for Nitrogen M Application for Common Crons: • Small Grains: One-third (1/3) N at planting and remainder in late February or early March. • Corn/Sorghum: For facilities that pump and haul, N should be applied prior to planting. For those facilities that irrigate, a split application with half at planting and the remainder when the corn is 18 inches high. • Fescue/Orchardgrass: Apply one-half (1/2) of the N in mid -February to March and one- half (1/2) in mid -August to September. • Bermuda grass: Establishing: 30 to 40 lbs N/ac at planting and 30 to 60 lbs N/ac when runners appear (6 -8 wk. after planting). Maintaining: 50 to 60 lbs N/ac in April and the remainder of the recommended amount in equal increments in June and July or after each cutting. Finally, there, have been instances where the amount of waste pumped (as shown in the waste application records) from the lagoon/storage pond does not appear to agree with the amount of waste produced by the animals. One would expect on an annual basis that the amount pumped would be approximately equal to the amount being produced. For example, if a dairy is generating 453,000 gal/yr in waste, then approximately 453,000 gallons of waste should be accounted for in the waste application records over a year. However, there may be some difference due to how low the storage pond was pumped, the number of cows being held in the facility, or the amount of rainfall. Soil analysis (FREE) Fifteen to twenty (15 to 20) soil samples per field (20 acres or less) is desirable. The samples should be thoroughly mixed and sent in as one sample. Each sample should be pulled 4 inches deep for pastures and no -till systems and 8 inches deep for conventional tillage systems. Taking samples during the fall is advisable. The state lab is not as busy at that time and can provide a more timely turn around with the results. This is also a good time to apply lime if recommended by the soil test. When liming is necessary, it is important that it be applied as suggested. Maintaining proper soil pH is as important (if not more so) than fertilizing to maximize crop production. I Page 3 Waste samples/analysis ($4/sample) The state lab now has the capability to conduct analyses and provide the results within two working days via the internet. Through the US Postal service allow seven days. Take samples in a timely manner such that waste application.rates can be based on the most recent sample results. Six to eight (6 to 8) samples should be taken around the edge of the lagoon/storage pond, approximately 6 feet from the edge and 12 inches below the surface. These can be mixed to make one sample. The sample should be refrigerated if it is not going to be shipped the same day. Always mail waste samples in plastic containers. For farmers who do not have to agitate the lagoon/storage pond prior to application, it is strongly suggested that waste samples be taken prior to waste application. This will prevent the producer from having to go back and complete the waste application record at a later date. For farmers who apply waste to hay fields and pastures, it is strongly suggested that waste samples be taken quarterly if the waste is applied anytime during the growing season.

The discharge was tracked approximately 300 yards into a wooded area. Although flow appeared negligible, it did not end at this point. It was evident that the discharge had been occurring for some time. 3) A proper inspection of the storage pond was not possible due to vegetative growth on the side slopes. The vegetation needs to be cut. It was evident that the pond was near capacity and needs to be pumped. 9) Determining the exact level of the waste in the storage pond was difficult due to vegetation on the storage pond. An NOV will be issued for the discharge. Mr. Bell accepted a farm plan (not certified) by the NRCS in May of 1997. Mr. Bell has made no observable improvements.

Bell Rt. 15 , Box 210 Statesville, NC 28677 Subject: Certification/Notice of Violations Bell Dairy, Facility #: 49-44 Iredell County, NC Dear Mr. Bell: The deadline for the certified waste management plan to be implemented is December 31, 1997, and there will be no extension of the deadline. With this in mind, this letter will touch on some of the general components and issues that are of concern during an inspection. As a certified, or soon to be certified, farm your files at a minimum must contain the following information, and need to be available for review during the inspection: Certification forms Site diagram - showing fencing, streams, buffer zones Waste application records/forms Maps of acreage and irrigated fields Waste utilization plan Waste and soil analysis records Emergency action plan and mortality & odor control checklist Regarding waste application records, all information should be recorded. This includes (but is not limited to) the field used, total minutes waste was applied (if required), the amount of waste irrigated/ hauled, the amount of nitrogen applied and the crop nitrogen balance. The crops and fields that are being utilized for waste application must be specified in the certified waste management plan. For those facilities that grow hay, the date when the hay is harvested should be recorded. If you feel the plan does not allow you the flexibility you need, contact a technical specialist to have the farm plan modified. For lagoons/storage ponds, remember that a freeboard of 12 inches plus an additional 5 - 9 inches (depending on location) for a 25 year/24 hour rain event must be maintained from the top of the storage pond/lagoon. If there is an emergency spillway/pipe, then the level must be maintained to compensate for a 25 yr/24 hr storm. A pumping marker must also be installed. This may be a pipe or other structure that is already in the lagoon. Whatever the marker is, it must be prominently identified. 919 North Main Street, N%ICAn FAX 704-663-6040 Mooresville, North Carolina 28115 Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer Voice 704-663-1699 50% recycled/100post-consumer paper Page 2 The question often comes up as to what warrants a Notice of Violation (NOV). An NOV may be issued for the following instances, among others: a) inadequate freeboard, b) inadequate land for waste application, c) application on an unapproved crop/acreage, d) discharge of waste from lagoon/facility, e) excessive vegetation on the sideslopes of a lagoon/pond, or f) other minor deficiencies. Examples of a deficiency would be the waste or soil analysis forms not being up to.date or the application records not being filled out properly. Please note, failure to submit the certification form by December 31, 1997, does not exclude you from the responsibility of maintaining your storage pond/lagoon levels and waste application records. Also, please be advised that North Carolina General Statutes provide for penalties of up to $10,000 per day per violation as well as criminal penalties for violations of state environmental laws and regulations.

This bill requires that a certified operator be designated as the Operator in Charge by January 1, 1997, for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or more horses, 1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid animal waste management system. Our records indicate that your facility is registered with the Division of Water Quality and meets the requirements for designating an OIC. A training and certification program is not yet available for animal waste management systems involving cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry. Owners and operators of these systems will be issued temporary animal waste management certificates by the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC). The temporary certificates will expire December 31, 1997, and will not be renewed. To obtain a permanent certification, you will be required to complete ten hours of training and pass an examination by December 31, 1997. A training and certification program for operators of animal waste management systems involving cattle, sheep, horses, and poultry is now being developed and should be available by the spring of 1997. The type of training and certification required for the operator of each system will be based on the nature of the wastes to be treated and the treatment process(es) primarily used to treat the animal waste. - - As the owner of an animal operation with an animal waste management system, you must designate an Operator in Charge and must submit the enclosed designation form to the WPCSOCC. If you do not intend to operate your animal waste management system yourself, you must designate an employee or engage a contract operator to be the Operator in Charge. The person designated as the Operator in Charge, whether yourself or another person, must complete the enclosed application form for temporary certification as an animal waste management system operator. Both the designation form and the application form must be completed and returned by December 31, 1996. If you have questions about the new requirements for animal waste management system operators, please call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt at 91gn33-0026. Sincerely, FOR Steve W.

Therefore, the General Pen -nit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit. In accordance with your application received on March 10, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Lucius Perry Bell, III, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG200000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWC490044 which expired on April 30, 2003. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Bell Dairy, located in Iredell County, with an -animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 205 Dairy cattle and the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004.. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed. The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property. Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking of the facility. ��w OCR R Non -Discharge Permitting Unit 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Customer Service Center An Equal Opportunity Action Employer Internet httpJlh2o.enr.state.nc.us/ndpu Telephone (919) 733-5083 Fax (919)715-6046 Telephone 1-877.623-6748 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper rProducer: L. Perry Bell, III Location: Statesville, NC Telephone: (704) 873-0441 Type Operation: Dairy Number of Animals: 180 (Design Capacity) Storage Structure(s): Waste Storage Ponds (2) __ T Application Method(s):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 infiltration as the limiting factor when applying wastewater. Nitrogen is the limiting nutrient. You must have the animal waste analyzed to determine nutrient content as close to the time of application as practical and at least within 60 days of the date of { application before each application cycle. Soil nutrients in all fields where waste will be applied must be analyzed at least annually so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Soil test and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Lime must be applied to application fields as recommended by soil test to maintain the plant uptake of nutrients. 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 not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, (see Required Specification No_ 4) waste.may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. 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 a violation of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) .0200 regulations. 5. Wind conditions at the time of field application of waste should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop. Otherwise apply waste no earlier than 30 days prior to planting a crop or prior to forages breaking dormancy. Injecting or otherwise incorporating the waste below the soil surface will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 7. Zinc and copper levels in the soils in all fields where waste is applied shall be monitored and alternative application fields shall be used when these metals approach excess levels. This plan is based on waste application by Irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to alter the method(s) of application in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for various waste application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste are based on typical nutrient content for Dairy systems in North Carolina. Actual acreage requirements shall be based on waste analysis reports from storage structures in your waste management system. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. Your Waste Storage Ponds is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every _SIX _MONTHS. If your facility is unroofed, in no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be higher than the maximum storage marker except in the event of a 25 year, 24 hour storm. 9 Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. The waste management system which is covered by this waste utilization plan shall be operated only by persons which hold a valid certificate as an operator in charge of an animal waste management system. The North Carolina Water Quality Commission will provide training and certification of operators. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 (the .0200 rules) adopted by the Water Quality Commission.

PAN per year Applying the above amount of waste as calculated above is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. 'Values used above are based on analysis of waste from similar livestock operations in North Carolina (source: USDA -MRCS FOTG Practice Standard 633-Waste Utilization). Actual nutrient content of the waste from this system may vary from these values. Waste analysis should be made of the actual waste as soon as possible after significant waste accumulates in the storage structures). The applicator is cautioned that P and %may be over applied while greeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management Ilan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. 14 Sludge accumulation should not be a factor using the existing Waste Storage Ponds, provided thorough agitation is accomplished before and during each pump -out and provided they are periodically emptied of all waste. Should sludge accumulations occur, the sludge must be analyzed for nutrient levels prior to spreading. The irrigation application rate should not exceed the infiltration rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. Initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids Iimit this rate. 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. 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 through 3. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying forage plants under stress condition. Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended. 15 WASTE APPLICATION TABLES The crop fields shown in the Waste Application Tables that follow are available for waste application. It will not be necessary and may not be desirable to apply waste to each of these fields in any given year. The Lbs. of Nitrogen Per Acre shown in the tables are estimated annual nitrogen (l) requirements of the crop to be grown based on the potential productivity of the soil and assuming no double cropping. The Recommended Lbs. of N to be Applied per acre indicates the Nitrogen that can be reasonably applied to the crop and used by the crop in a timely manner using animal waste alone. It will not be practical to meet all the nutrient needs of some crops with animal waste. Supplemental applications of commercial fertilizer may be required during the growing season in order to meet all crop nutrient needs. It is assumed that for certain row crops only a fraction of the total annual nitrogen requirement can be applied using animal waste. The landowner shall record the actual waste application volume made on each field on the Department of Water Quality Waste Application Record Form.

WSP#I has a calculated storage period of 141 days. WSP#2 has designed storage period of 180 days. Therefore, WSP#1 will need to be pumped at least every 4.7 mos. And WSP#2 will need to be pumped at least every six (6) months. WSP#2 will be better managed if multiple applications are made to the same area. This can be done due to the low nutrient content. (See details below for further explanations) Another option is to pump out of WSP#1 to lower it about half way or more and then to refill it with the runoff water out of WSP#2. This will provide the benefits of better agitation and cleaning out of WSP#1 and when properly agitated will contain more nutrients for the crops than WSP#2 would have if used alone. IThe amount of waste and parlor water contained in WSP#1 is 270,454 gallons or 9.9 acre inches with 2,406 lbs.N per storage period. The amount of polluted runoff contained in WSP#2 is 2,433,332 gallons or 89.6 acre inches with 2,598 lbs.N per storage period. These figures do not take in the amount of time to agitate (which must be done thoroughly) and set ip equipment. This extra amount of time needs to be figured in the management operation of the Wry to satisfactorily handle all waste produced. The waste from the calves will be collected and hauled approx. every six months. The waste from the calves will be applied to field 6. This field is not accessible with the irrigation system. The Iwaste could also be applied to the odd areas of the irrigated fields. These areas are also not accessible to the irrigation system. The limiting factor, which is the concern with the operation of these waste storage ponds, is the infiltration rate. Caution should be taken when making multiple applications to prevent runoff. The actual application times could be adjusted to better coincide with the production stage of the crop. 22 r - H� WAS UTILIZATION PLAN £ 1 a l 4 r.,, rT ? e U_��`I it QK LLY�i y I R iP♦ gj'� - i �� 1 MAP SHOWING THE FIELDS TO BE USED FOR THE UTILIZATION OF WASTE.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has a notarized long term agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide NRCS with a copy of a notarized agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the'Nitrogen needs for -realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. Actual yields may be used in lieu.of realistic yield tables at the discretion of the planner. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If a RMS or ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DWQ. 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing or any other condition exists which may cause a 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. 26 t" M .REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS C 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not damaged by burning or smothering of the plant. This is an important consideration where swine, poultry or other ammonia rich waste is being surface applied. Surface broadcast solids or slurries may damage crops if leaf surfaces are matted. Generally waste should be applied such that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. This should not normally be a concern where diluted, low nutrient waste is irrigated or surface broadcast from a liquids holding structure. Where crops are severely damaged due to waste application, the plants cannot assimilate. the nutrients and discharge of pollutants to surface waters is likely to occur. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops. on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. On soils with a high potential for leaching, multiple application at lower rates should be used. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production & reduce the potential far pollution, the waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil, or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients. l L Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at Ieast 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal). Animal waste (other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995,) shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 27 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of- ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways which discharge directly into water courses. If animal waste is to be applied on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates and in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon/holding pond embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagooniholding pond areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon/holding pond berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing an "approved closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible permanent markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 28 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. Soil pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for'all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations. North Carolina General Statute 106-403 requires that dead animals be disposed of within 24 hours in a manner approved by the state veterinarian. 29 WASEi R i 3 kc0 �'flpE77A u' �T i x " .,..�.R"��''_.•" +.

THOMAS, ONTARIO, CANADA P..W.W6.J6 Cdoyn4aj by $he Gorman-Auau Com"nr IMPORTANT WATER HAMMER — Spears Manufacturing Company, recommends that all PVC and CPVC plastic piping systems be designed and constructed to AVOID EXCESSIVE WATER HAMMER. Water hammer can cause damage, and failure to pipe, valves, and fittings within the piping system. CA UTiON —Spears Manufacturing Company DOES NOT RECOMMEND the use of thermoplastic piping products for systems to transport or store compressed air or gases, or the testing of thermoplastic piping systems with compressed air or gases in above and below ground locations. The use of Spears products in compressed air or gas systems automatically voids Spears warranty for such products, and their use against our recommendation is entirely the responsibility and liability of the installer. Spears Manufacturing Company will not accept responsibility for damage or impairment of its products, or other consequential or incidental damages caused by misapplication, incorrect assembly, and/or exposure to harmful substances or conditions. PLEASE NOTE —When temperatures rise above 73°F, the tensile strength of thermoplastics decreases, thereby derating the pipe or fitting Maximum Internal Pressure. When temperatures fall below 73°F, the tensile strength of thermoplastics increases, however, the impact strength decreases. Maximum operating temperatures for PVC piping systems should not exceed 140°F (110°F threaded systems). Maximum operating temperatures for CPVC piping systems should not exceed 200OF (150°F threaded systems). F THRUST BLOCKING —Water under pressure exerts thrust forces in piping systems. Thrust blocking should be provided, as necessary, to prevent movement of pipe or appurtenances in response to thrust.

Solvent welded pipe and fittings shall be thoroughly cleaned to remove all foreign materials and grease which would inhibit bonding. Solvent cement shall be thoroughly applied to all bonding surfaces in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. All SDR and C-900 PVC pipe shall have a gasketed integral bell. Inspect the gasket and insure that it is not twisted or turned to prevent proper seating in the groove. Wipe the pipe ends with a rag to remove any foreign material just before applying lubricant. The gasket and the spigot, up to the full insertion mark including the tapered portion of the spigot shall be thoroughly coated with the lubricant recommended by the manufacture of the pipe. t. USDA-NRCS NC AREA I Page 1, PVC PIPE March 1994 If field cutting is required, the pipe shall be cut square. Use an appropriate pipe cutter or a conventional saw with a 900 miter box. Field cut'ends shall be beveled to the same angle as the factory bevel. All field cut pipe shall have a full insertion mark placed on the pipe which matches the factory full insertion mark. 4. Handlinci and Installation All PVC pipe and fittings shall be delivered to the site and handled on site in a manner which protects the structural integrity of the pipe. When unloading the pipe, do not throw, whip or drop the pipe. Chains shall not be used to handle the pipe at any time. Store pipe on a flat surface so the barrel is evenly supported. Do not stack higher than four feet. If the pipe is bell and spigot, stack with the bells in opposing directions on alternate rows so they are not supporting the full load of the pipe. Rubber gaskets shall be kept clean and protected from grease, oil, and excessive heat. Pipe shall be placed in the earth trench on grades as shown in the drawings. The minimum clear width in the bottom of the trench shall be 18 inches or 1 foot greater than the outside diameter of the pipe whichever is greater. The trench bottom shall be smooth and uniform to prevent severe deflection of the pipe at the joints. The trench bottom shall be free of frozen material, clodded soil and stones over one-half inch in diameter. In areas where the trench bottom is hard, the hard material must be overexcavated and a layer of soft backfill material, at least 4,inches deep must be provided to insure the pipe barrel is adequately cushioned. 4 Care shall be taken to prevent soil or other foreign material from entering the pipe prior to placement. Friable earth fill or approved aggregate material shall be placed around the haunches of the pipe and compacted by hand. Manual compaction in layers no more than nine inches shall continue for no less than twelve inches about the top of the pipe. Where pipes pass through embankment fill, the layers shall be no 'more than 4 inches. No rocks or other solid material three inches or larger,shall be placed within twelve inches of the pipe. A minimum earth fill cover of 24 inches shall be maintained along the full length -of the pipe, unless otherwise specified. 5. Placement in Junction Boxes Connections at junction boxes shall be watertight. Pipes shall extend to the interior wall and may extend a maximum of four inches beyond the interior wall of the junction box.

Scope This standard applies to underground thermosplastic pipelines ranging from 1 /2 in. to 27 in. in diameter that are dosed to the atmosphere and that are subject to Internal pressures of 80 Ib/in2 or greater. The standard Includes the design criteria and minimum installation requirements for high- pressure, plastic Irrigation pipelines -and specifications for the thermoplastic pipe. Purpose To prevent erosion or losses of water quality or damage to the land, to make possible proper management of Irrigation water, and to reduce water conveyance losses. Conditions where practice applies All pipelines shall be planned and located to serve as an integral part of an Irrigation water distribution or conveyance system designed to facilitate the conservative use and management of the soil and water resources on a farm or group of farms. Water supplies, water quality, and rates of irrigation delivery for the area served by the pipelines shall be sufficient to make irrigation practical for the crops to be grown and the irrigation water application method to be used. Plastic pipelines installed according to this standard shall be placed only in suitable soils where the bedding and backfill requirements can be fully met. Water Quantity 1. Effects on components of the water budget, especially infiltration and evaporation. 2. Effects on downstream flows or aquifers that would affect other water uses or users. 3. Potential use for. Irrigation water management. 4. Effects of installing a pipeline on vegetation that may have been located next to the original conveyance. Water Quality 1. Effects of installing the pipeline, replacing other types of conveyances, on channel erosion .acthe movement..of.sedlmentandsolublaand sediment -attached substances carried by water. 2. Effects on the movement of dissolved substances into the soils and on percolation below the root zone or to ground water recharge. 3. Effects of controlled water delivery on the temperatures of water resources that could cause undesirable effects on aquatic and wildlife communities. 4. Effects on wetlands or water -related wildlife habitats. S. Effects on the visual quality of water resources. Design criteria Working pressure and flow velocity. The minimum acceptable class of pipe shall be that having a pressure rating for water of W lb/IA. The pipeline shall be designed to meet all service requirements without an operating pressure, Including hydraulic transients, or static pressure at any point greater than the pressure rating of the pipe used at that point. As a safety factor against surge or water hammer, the working pressure should not exceed 72 percent of the pressure rating of the pipe, nor shouldthe design flow velocity at system capacity exceed 5 ft/s. If either of these limits is exceeded, special SCS, January 1969 The ratio of air -release valve diameter to pipe diameter for valves intended to release air when filling the pipe should not be less than 0.1. However, small -diameter valves may be used to limit water hammer pressures by controlling air release where control of filling velocities is questionable. Equivalent valve outlet diameter of less than 0.1 are permitted for continuously acting air release valves. Adequate vacuum relief must be provided: Air -release valves or combination air valves shall be used as needed to permit air to escape from the pipeline while the line Is at working pressure. Small orifices of these types shall be sized according to the working pressure and venting requirements recommended by the valve manufacturer. Manufacturers of air vales marketed for use under this standard shall provide dimensional data, which shall be the basis for selection and acceptance of these valves. Drainage. Provislon-shalt-be made -for completely draining the pipeline if a hazard is Imposed by freezing temperatures, drainage is recommended by the manufacturer of the pipe, or drainage of the One is specified for the job. If provisions for drainage are required drainage outlets shall be located at all low places In the line. These outlets may drain into dry wells or to points of lower elevation. If drainage cannot be provided by gravity, provisions shall be made to empty the line by pumping or by other means. Flushing. If provisions are needed for flushing the line free of sediment or other foreign material, a suitable valve shall be installed at the distal end of the pipeline. Thrust control. Abrupt changes In pipeline grade, horizontal alignment, or reduction In pipe size normally require an anchor or thrust blocks to absorb any axial thrust of the pipeline. Thrust control may also be needed at the end of the pipeline and at in41ne control valves. following formula must be used in designing thrust blocks: 98 HQ't a A . sin 2 Where: A . Araa of thrust dock -squired ;n ft; N a Maximum working Pressure in ft O a Inside dameter of pipe in It 8 m Allowabie passive pressure of the nail in Ibile a a Oefledon angle of pipe bend Area of thrust blocks for dead ends and tees shall be 0.7 times the area of block required for a 90- defiection angle of pipe bend. If adequate soil tests are not available, the passive soli pressure may be estimated from Table 1. Materials. AEI materials shall meet or exceed the -- Tninimurn reguirements Indicated In 'Specifications for Materials." Plans and specifications Plans and specifications for constructing high- pressure underground plastic pipeline shall be In keeping with this standard and shall describe the requirements for applying the practice to achieve r " its Intended purposes. Thrust blocks and anchors must be large enough to withstand the forces tending to move the pipe, including those of momentum and pressure as well as forces due to expansion and contraction. The pipe manufacturer's recommendations for thrust control shall be followed.

Partial backfill$ needed to hold the pipe in place during testing shall be placed as specified in "Initial backfill." Any leaks shall be repaired and the system retested. The pipeline shall be tested to insure that it functions property at design capacity. At or below design capacity there snail be no objectionable flow conditions. Obleetiona- ble flow conditions shall include water hammer, continuing unsteady delivery of water, damage to the pipeline, or detri- mental discharge from control valves. Initial backfill. Wand, mechanical, or water packing meth- ods may be used. The initial backfill matenal shall be sail or sand that is free from rocks or stones larger than 1 in. in diameter. At the time of placement, the moisture content of the material shall be such that the required degree of compaction can be obtained with the backfill method to be used. The initial backfill material shall be placed so that the pipe will not be displaced, excessively deformed, or damaged. If backfilling is done by hand or mechanical means, the initial fill shall be compacted firmly around and above the pipe as required to provide adequate lateral support to the pipe. If the water packing method is used, the pipeline first shall be filled with water. The initial backfill before wetting shall be of sufficient depth to insure complete coverage of the pipe after consolidation. Water packing is accomplished by adding enough water to diked reaches of the trench to thoroughly saturate the initial backfill without excessive pooling. After the backfill is saturated. the pipeline shall remain full until after the final backfill is made. The wetted fill shall be allowed to dry until firm before beginning the final backfill. Final backfill. The final backfill material shall be free of large rocks, frozen clods, and other debris greater than 3 in. in diameter. The material shall be placed and spread in approximately uniform layers so that there will be no unfilled spaces in the backfill and the backfill will be level with the natural ground or at the design grade required to provide the minimum depth of cover after settlement. Flail- ing equipment shalt mat be used to consolidate the final backfill until the specified minimum depth of cover has been placed. All special backfiiling requirements of the pipe manufac• turer shall be mat. Basis of acceptance. The acceptability of the pipeline shall be determined by inspections to check compliance with all the provisions of this standard will) respect to the design of the line, the pipe and pipe marking, the appurte- nances, and the minimum installation requirements. Certifications and guarantee. If requested by the state cOnservation engineer, a qualified testing laboratory must certify with suoporting test results that the pipe meets the requirements specified in this standard. The seal of approval of a recognized laboratory on pipe bearing one gf We ASTM designations listed in this standard may be accepted for this certification. The installing contractor shall certify that his or her instal. lotion complies with the requirements of this standard.

Caviness DC, SCS Statesville, NC PO Boa 158 Salisbury, North Carolina 28145 Date: February 28, 1983 File Codes 430 Here is a summary of the findings we made on February 24 at the above referenced waste lagoon sites in iredell County. L. P. Bell • This site'is situated over an intermittent drainageway with strongly sloping (12%) sides. The slopes are of Cecil like soil and the bottom is deep deposited material of a clayey texture. This investigation did not indicate the presence of a sandy layer in the deposited material within a depth of 10 feet. If a sandy or more pervious layer is exposed in cutting provision for se&Aing the area will have to be made. Diverting of the surface water will be a problem with this site. With these exceptions this site seems to be suitable for this use. Don Bell - This site is situated on a sidesslope of about 8-9% grade. The soil is Pacolet like (shallow Cecil) with fairly micaceous sub horizons. The lagoon will be built beside a small permanently flowing stream with a depp channel. The soil,.is generally suitable for this construction. However with the presence of loamy horizons below 50 inches on the slope and the amount of mica present at these depths a liner of impervious clay over the entire water area would be advisable. This is particularly important since the possibility exists for seepage directly into the small stream. H. C. Myers - This site is on a gently sloping Cecil soil. A ds"silo cut into the slope at the lower side indicates that the clayey layers of the soil are more than 50" thick and the soil is fattly typical "Cecil." No serious hazards are apparent on this not normally clayey the bottom should be seepage. j� C. M. McCachren Soil Survey Party Leader site.

Planned:lf'ance is for livestock exclusion from WSP. 11 VAP The total amount of waste and waste water produced per year in both WSP#1 and WSP#2 is 2,887,027 gals. or 106.3 acre inches with 6,656 lbs.N. WSP#1 has a calculated storage period of 216 days. WSP#2 has designed storage period of 180 days. Therefore, both will need to be pumped at least every six (6) months. WSP#2 will be better managed if multiple applications are made to the same area. This can be done due to the low nutrient content. (See details below for further explanations) The amount of waste and parlor water contained in WSP#1 is 270,454 gallons or 9.96 acre inches with 2,420 lbs.N per storage period. The amount of polluted runoff contained in WSP#2 is 1,216,667 gallons or 44.8 acre inches with 1,299 lbs.N per storage period. The gun has an output of 290 gpm; with one third inch application it requires a travel speed of 5.5'/min. The reel has hose length of 850, divided by 5.5,1per min. which equals 155 min/pull. At 155 min/pull x'290 gpm = 44,950 gal/pull or 1.66 acre inches/pull: WSP#1 - With 1.66 ac.in./pull X 243 lbsN/ac.in. = 402 lbsN/pull. Given the reel has a hose length of 850 ft. and an application width of 280 ft. = 5.5 acres/pull. With 402 lbsN/pull divided by 5.5 acres = 73 JbsH Fer acre being applied. At this rate it will take approximately 33 acres to empty WSP#1 with a single application. Two applications could be made and reduce the acreage to 16.5 acres. This will also help meet more of the N requirements of the crop by applying 146 IbsN/acre. WSP#2 - With 1.66 ac.in./pull X 29 lbsN/ac.in. = 48 lbsN/pull. Given the reel has a hose length of 850 ft and an application width of 280 ft. = 5.5 acres/pull. With 48 lbs.N/pull divided by 5.5 acres = 8.7 IbsN per acre being applied. At this rate waste water can be applied to fields #3 , 7a, 8, 9 three different times per storage period, to help with replenishment of moisture for the crop. These three applications will be applying approximately 26 IbsN/ac. 19 Yahoo Jimmy Carter saysP4ge 2 'Clinton hasi­ not b.'* of 3 ' Representatives that impeachment procb6dings be' held' that a, hearing be held, and because ofith * e highly partisan alignment' within the House of Representatives and -because Republicans have a majority, I think - it is likel�!--�- more than a 50-50,,chance that said., the House will vote impeachment;'' Carter He told students that 'impeachment, which requires a_simple,­ ma3ority in the House, was a.form 6f':indictment that ":did not,', automatically mean removal'from.office. Carter said:h6,did not believe the Senate., which serves as a'jury in such proceedings, would have the necessary two-thirds vote'to remove Clinton from office. 'My prediction is -that the Senate will not,mardhal'a two-thirds vote,'' Carter said, adding the presidehcy had nonethel6ss been, damaged "by his (Clinton's), embarrassing ' circumstance. 11 "I would say a lot of damage has been done, but not in'any case fatal or permanent damage," Carter said.; 'The majority of people in the United States, when polled, do not want President Clinton removedifrom office,." he said: ''Even th-uffh . he will be damaged in his"moral reputation and perhaps in his influence with the. Congress and maybe with the American people, our nation will survive.''' Carter's criticism was the second time in less than'a week that..he has broken ranks with the White -House. _'Last�"Thursday he urged an investigation .into whether a Sudanese facto�ry wrecked by U.S. missiles last'.month was making ingredients for chemical weapons, as the White House charged when the Khartoum plant was wrecked by'missiles in retaliation-forbomb attacks on iU.S..'embassies in Kenya and Tanzania., Carter on Tuesday night repeated his call for an investigation - into, -the factory and warned the White House that military attacks were not the best way to fight ,terrorism. We are responsible, in many ways, to help reduce terrorism. "(But) I don't think the best way is to make direct military -attacks, which in the process can kill innocent people, whidh arouses more support for the terrorists,"' Carter said: "Sometimes, we might.be mistaken.'"

This extra amount of time needs to be figured in the management operation of the dairy to satisfactorily handle all waste produced. The limiting factor, which is the concern with the operation of these waste storage ponds, is the infiltration rate. This is the highest possible application rate and still prevent runoff. With two(2) storage periods (or cycles) per year, the waste will need to be applied as follows: 1st Cycle: WSP#1 - Beginning in March, the WSP will be emptied and applied to Corn land in fields 3 (25.6 ac). At the rate the gun will be operating, there will only be 73 lbs.N/ac. applied and will take approximately 6 full length pulls to empty the WSP/storage period. These 6 pulls will only cover 33 ac. To better utilize the nutrients,, two (2) applications will be made to.field #3. This will,be applying 146 lbsN/ac and the additional 55 lbs of N/acre required will have to be met by some other means. WSP#2 - Beginning in March or April, the WSP will be emptied and applied to fields 3,7a,8,9 (53.6 ac). At the rate the gun will be operating and given the amount of water contained in WSP#2 when full, 27 pulls (at full length) will be all that can be made. It is recommended to make three (3) applications to these = '��t1 fields because of the benefit to be gained rom using the waste Q.c water throughout the summer months to help maintain the needed moisture level for the crop. With these applications, field 3 will require 29 lbsN/ac extra and fields 7a,8,9 will require 151 lbsN/ac extra to be met by some other means. Caution when making multiple applications. There must be a ten (10) day rest period between applications without any additional rainfall to prevent runoff. 20 2nd Cycle: WSP#1 - Beginning in September the WSP will be emptied and applied as pre plant for Small Grain in fields 3,7a (30.8 ac). At the rate there will be a need to pick-up 2.2 more acres to prevent over application. With the rate the gun will be operating, there will only be 73 lbs.N/ac. applied. It will take approximately 6 full length pulls to empty the WSP/storage period. Field 3 will require an additional 8 lbsN/ac. WSP#2 -- Beginning in October, the waste water will be applied to fields 5,7a,8,9. There will be three (3) a licatio de to each field. This will amount to 26 lbsN/ac being applied. After app ications from both waste storage ponds have been made, field 7a requires an additional 5 lbsN/ac. to meet the needs of the crop and fields 5,8,9 requires an additional 102 1bsN/ac. Caution when making multiple applications. There must be a ten (1 Q) day rest period between applications to prevent runoff. The actual application times could be adjusted to better coincide with the production stage of the crop. These times are a minimum to prevent over application of nutrients. 21 ESTIMATE OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN �� ► .:_0-0 Amount of Waste Produced Per Year (WSP#1) a animals X IQ gallons of waste/1000 lb. cow/day X 3_0 days X 43W conf in. = 272,645 gallons of waste per year 110 animals X 7 gallons of gxcess water/animal/day X 3M days = 281. 050 gallons of e_x_cess water per year 1 7?,¢45 gallons of waste/year + 281.050 gallons of excess water/year = 453.695 Total gallons of waste water per year 27,154 gallons/acre inch = 16.7 acre inches per year.

It will not be necessary and may not be desirable to apply waste to each of these fields in any given year. The Lbs. of Nitrogen Per Acre shown in the tables are estimated annual nitrogen (N) requirements of the crop to be grown based on the potential productivity of the soil and assuming no double cropping. The Recommended Lbs. of N to be Applied per acre indicates the Nitrogen that can be reasonably applied to the crop and used by the crop in a timely manner using animal waste alone. It will not be practical to meet all the nutrient needs of some crops with animal waste. Supplemental applications of commercial fertilizer may be required during the growing season in order to meet all crop nutrient needs. It is assumed that for certain row crops only a fraction of the total annual nitrogen requirement can be applied using animal waste. The landowner shall record the actual waste application volume made on each field on the Department of Water Quality -Waste Application Record Form.

WASTE STORAGE POND 2. AGITATIONS AND APPLICATION SYSTEM 3. CONTAMINATED LIQUID COLLECTION SYSTEM 4. SOLID WASTE STORAGE STRUCTURE S. VEGETATED DIVERSION 6. VEGETATED BUFFERS 7. LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION 8. STOCK TRAILS 9. HEAVY USE AREA PROTECTION All solid waste will be scraped from the lots and stored in the WASTE STORAGE POND #1 (WSP#1). All contaminated water from the milking center (wash, and parlor) will be piped into WSP#1. All polluted runoff water will be collected and stored%in WSP#2. All waste contained in both WSPs will be land applied at agronomic rates. WSP#1 is designed to provide 216 days storage for the solid wastes produced by 130 head milking herd. WSP#2 is designed to provide 180 days of storage for all the runoff. This Animal Waste Management System is designed to prevent discharge of Animal Waste • Contaminates to surface waters from the twenty-five (25) year, twenty-four (24) hour storm, as required under the Non -discharge regulations. III OPERATION and MAINTENANCE PLAN a � `�,��r-•' � f5 �' ter; .� .0200 Certification Plan i 1. WASTE STORAGE POND OVERVIEW The Waste Storage Pond #1 is designed to store the average feedlot manure and waste water from the milk barn for a 216 day period. The WASTE STORAGE POND consists of an earthen dam, clay material, and curbing for discharging manure into the WSP. Waste Storage Pond #2 is designed to store the average runoff from the feedlots and.Heavy Use Areas. It is also designed to handle a 25yr, 24hr storms and rainfall from both WSP's. A permanent marker is set in WSP#2 indicating the level of storage available prior to infringing on the 25 year, 24 hour storm capacity. OPERATION The level of management for the entire system will determine the service life of the WSPs. Over time it is expected that some solids will accumulate in the WSP. The accumulated solids should not reduce the usable capacity to a point, which requires removal of the solids for many years IF adequate waste agitation is maintained. In contrast, poor management will result in the rapid accumulation of solids that will reduce the usable capacity of the WSP to the point that some form of dredging will be required. 1i F.V `Zll11:X ".LL60 • Vegetation on the dam should be inspected periodically and reseeded as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. The dam should be mowed at least annually to prevent woody growth. Mowing operations must take place only when the soil of the dam is dry, and vegetation should not be mowed to a height of less than four(4) inches at any time. Any evidence of sloughing or seepage should be reported to the Iredell Soil & Water Conservation District office immediately.. 0 2. AGITATION AND APPLICATION SYSTEM OVERVIEW The AGITATION AND APPLICATION SYSTEM consists of a PTO driven agitation system and an Underground Main and Hydrants. Gra-Mac Distributing Co designed the Underground Main and Hydrants. See enclosed OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN for The Dairy Waste Irrigation System for additional details. .I* OPERATION and MAINTENANCE PLAN .0200 Certification Plan OPERATION • The initial step in each irrigation operation is to properly agitate the waste in the Storage Pond. The importance of agitation cannot be stressed enough. It is very important to agitate long enough to thoroughly dilute solids that will accumulate in the WSP. In most cases this must be done for Nearly a half -day and others Ionger, just prior to pumping. If application equipment (irrigation or spreader) is owned consult owner's manuals for recommended operational procedures. 0 Irrigation operation should be initiated prior to the liquid level reaching the full storage level marker in the structure. When the liquids level in the WSP reaches the marker, liquids must be removed by pumping from the structure, either into the irrigation system or to a spreader tank for land . application. Do not irrigate in such a manner as to cause runoff or erosion. Do not irrigate on frozen or saturated soils. Irrigate only until soil is near saturation point. 1► lYia" W"i• 19N Fields that receives waste application should have soil tested annually. It is advised that recommended that waste and soil sample results be used in conjunction with each other. The pattern indicated on Irrigation System Plan Map shows a nearly 3/4 pattern. It needs to be altered to a half circle and care should be made to stop application equipment so as to prevent waste from being applied within 25 ft of stream (See Waste Utilization Plan; Required Specifications, #11). 3. CONTAMINATED LIQUID COLLECTION SYSTEM OVERVIEW The Contaminated Liquid Collection System consists of curbing around the lower concrete lanes to better direct runoff from those areas to the slip pad for WSP#2. The clean water runoff from the area above WSP#1 will be conveyed by a diversion and into a junction box that will allow the runoff to be either discharged into WSP#1 or WSP#2. The normal operation will allow this water to flow from the junction box out a 24" Corrugated Plastic Pipe and outlet on the other side of the hill. 2 OPERATION and MAINTENANCE PLAN .0200 Certification Plan • MAINTENANCE Inspect the concrete components of the Contaminated Liquid Collection System for cracks or other damage, and make repairs or replace as needed. Inspect the junction boxes seasonally and remove accumulated solids. Annually inspect the pipe, and clean and as needed. 4. VEGETATED DIVERSION OVERVIEW The Vegetated Diversion will be located above the Waste Storage Pond #1 and will convey non - contaminated runoff around the structure. There is also a Diversion planned above the trench silos to divert roof runoff of calf barn from Waste Storage Pond #2. MAINTENANCE The vegetation in the diversion should be inspected periodically . and reseeded as needed to insure a vigorous stand. It is essential that neither vehicles nor livestock be allowed to create travel lanes within the diversion. The diversion should be mowed at least annually to prevent woody growth. The diversion may be control grazed or mowed for hay. Grazing and mowing operations must take place only when the soils are dry, and vegetation should not be grazed or mowed to a height of less than four (4) inches. If sedimentation has reduced the capacity of the channel, contact the Iredell Soil and Water Conservation District for technical assistance in correcting this problem. 5. VEGETATED BUFFERS OVERVIEW The Vegetated Buffers serve a two -fold purpose; they filter sediment from exposed feeding and lounging areas. Their width is based on slope of land and proximity to streams. These areas can be control grazed or mowed for hay to prevent unwanted growth. These buffers are used in lieu of storage structures. Proper maintenance of these buffers must be followed or a storage structure will be required. 0 OPERATION and MAINTENANCE PLAN • S fJw%tiNv''€ y4N f. 3. .0200 Certification Plan MAINTENANCE Inspect the buffer periodically for sediment accumulation and erosion within the buffer. If grazing does take place caution should be practiced to prevent overgrazing. Grass should be a minimum of six (6) inches. These buffers should have at least 80% ground cover. Specified width must be maintained. 6. LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION OVERVIEW Livestock Exclusion will be installed according to MRCS standard 382 (Fencing), where recommended by the technical specialists. Livestock Exclusion will be installed at locations as indicated on plan maps. MAINTENANCE Inspect the Livestock Exclusion periodically for mechanical damage or rot. If fencing wire • becomes loose, re -tighten to original specifications. If fence posts are rotted or damaged in any way, replace damaged posts with a post which meets the original specifications. C� J 7. STOCK TRAIL(S)' C�IA 31 AIA i VAIA The Stock Trail improves access to forages and water by means of a stabilized trail which reduces erosion often caused from such walkways. The Stock Trail is placed at the location indicated on sketch. It consists of an area graded, covered with a geotextile material and gravel placed on top. MAINTENANCE Inspect the Stock Trail periodically for any soft spots or damaged areas. If the gravel gets thin, more should be applied to the recommended depth. The designed depth should be maintained over the entire area for it to remain structurally sound. If an accumulation of waste should occur, the trail will need to be lightly scraped and hauled off to be applied at agronomic rates to a field mentioned in the Waste Utilization Plan. 4 OPERATION and MAIN TEN AN CE PLAN E 40 .0200 Certification Plan 8. HEAVY USE AREA PROTECTION OVERVIEW The Heavy Use Area Protection is in place at locations indicated on sketch. It consists of an area graded, covered with a geotextile material and gravel placed on top. MAINTENANCE Inspect the Heavy Use Area Protection periodically for any soft spots or damaged areas. If the gravel gets thin, more should be applied to the recommended depth. The designed depth should be maintained over the -entire area for it to remain structurally sound. If an accumulation of waste should occur, the area will need to be lightly scraped and hauled off to be applied at agronomic rates to a field mentioned in the Waste Utilization Plan. GENERAL COMMENTS AGREED TO ITEMS A Junction Box will need to be installed in existing Diversion around WSP#1 to allow for piping of runoff water away from lounge lots. A' 24" Corrugated Plastic Pipe (CPP) will be needed to handle the 25 yr, 24hr storm event. Curbing needs to be installed along the concrete lanes going from heifer area and the feeding trough near silos:This is needed to contain the runoff, on the lot and to direct it to the slip pad for WSP#2. The Emergency Spillway (ESW) Pipe in WSP#1 will need to be put back to original design condition. k OPERATION and MAINTENANCE PLAN 40 ' _ �.�-:}e +' ^}^ � � �,� tia � r r a?' �°�Is�� � i n'�y•r r r q.�Y%" i -...-. r T� �y �'( �v -x � r?� - �' �� d .'yi ., ....�..i�-. �Y�;.,....4J.�..P•.L. was.-ri5 �.;�_.: t�.a:��i��� y35;-�,.:��...��:.w'--.s�:"'.�.��'�.:.wc,...Ru..''':M{...:.t!2`4:,.^�a3�...'�::-F,..-aa .::., .:c.�.l�: �:�kL.`�_.,. ... .0200 Certification Plan PESTICIDE USE Extreme care should be exercised with the use of all herbicides so that desirable vegetation is not adversely affected.

Perry Bell, III Location: Statesville NC Telephone: (704) 873-0441 Type Operation: Dairy Number of Animals: 130 (Design Capacity) Storage Structure(s): Waste Storage Ponds 2 Application Method(s):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 infiltration as the limiting factor when applying wastewater. Nitrogen is the limiting nutrient. You must have the animal waste analyzed to determine nutrient content as close to the time of application as practical and at least within 60 days of the date of application before each application cycle. Soil nutrients in all fields where waste will be applied must be analyzed at least annually so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Soil test and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient - content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize, Lime must be applied to application fields as recommended by soil test to maintain the plant uptake of nutrients. 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 not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, (see Required Specification No. 4) waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. 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 a violation of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) .0200 regulations. 5. Wind conditions at the time of field application of waste should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for -pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop. Otherwise apply waste no earlier than 30 days prior to planting a crop or prior to forages breaking dormancy. Injecting or otherwise incorporating the waste below the soil surface will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 7. Zinc and copper levels in the soils in all fields where waste is applied shall be monitored and alternative application fields shall be used when these metals approach excess levels. This plan is based on waste application by Irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to alter the method(s) of application in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for various waste application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste are based on typical nutrient content for Dairy systems in -North Carolina. -Actual acreage requirements shall be based on waste analysis reports from storage structures in your waste management system. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. Your Waste Storage Ponds is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every _SIX MONTHS. If your facility is unroofed, in no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be higher than the maximum storage marker except in the event of a 25 year, 24 hour storm. CJ . Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. • P-j The waste management system which is covered by this waste utilization plan shall be operated only by persons which hold a valid certificate as an operator in charge of an animal waste management system. The North Carolina Water Quality Commission will provide training and certification of operators. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0211(the .0260 rules) adopted by the Water Quality Commission.' 10 0 ESTIMATE OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN FROM LIQUID WASTE Amount of Waste Produced Per Year (WSP#1) 180 animals X 10 gallons. of waste/1000 lb. cow/day.

Values used above are based on analysis of waste from similar livestock operations in North Carolina (source: USDA -MRCS FOTG Practice Standard 633-Waste Utilization). Actual nutrient content of the waste from this system may vary from these values. Waste analysis should be made of the actual waste as soon as possible after significant waste accumulates in the storage The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management Ilan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. 14 1-1 • Sludge accumulation should not be a factor using the existing Waste Storage Ponds, provided thorough agitation is accomplished before and during each pump -out and provided they are periodically emptied of all waste. Should sludge accumulations occur, the sludge must be analyzed for nutrient levels prior to spreading. The irrigation application rate should not exceed the infiltration rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. Initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids limit this rate. 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. 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 through 3.- Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Caution must be exercised in grazing -or haying forage plants under stress condition. Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended. 15 i 0 S WASTE APPLICATION TABLES The crop fields shown in the Waste Application Tables that follow are available for waste application. It will not be necessary and may not be desirable to apply waste to each of these fields in any given year. The Lbs. of Nitrogen Per Acre shown in the tables are estimated annual nitrogen (N) requirements of the crop to be grown based on the potential productivity of the soil and assuming no double cropping. The Recommended Lbs. of N to be Applied per acre indicates the Nitrogen that can be reasonably applied to the crop and used by the crop in a timely manner using animal waste alone. It will not be practical to meet all the nutrient needs of some crops with animal waste. Supplemental applications of commercial fertilizer may be required during the growing season in order to meet all crop nutrient needs. It is assumed that for certain row crops only a fraction of the total annual nitrogen requirement can be applied using animal -waste. The landowner shall record the actual waste application volume made on each field on the Department of Water Quality Waste Application Record Form.

WSP#1 has a calculated storage period of 141 days. WSP#2 has designed storage period of 180 days. Therefore, WSP#1 will need to be pumped at least every 4.7 mos. And WSP#2 will need to be pumped at Ieast every six (6) months. WSP#2 will be better managed if multiple applications are made to the same area. This can be done due to the low nutrient content. (See details below for further explanations) Another option is to pump out of WSP#1 to lower it about half way or more and then to refill it with the runoff water out of WSP#2. This will provide the benefits of better agitation and cleaning out of WSP#1 and when properly agitated will contain more nutrients for the crops than WSP#2 would have if used alone. The amount of waste and parlor water contained in WSP#1 is 270,454 gallons or 9.9 acre inches with 2,4061bs.N per storage period. The amount of polluted runoff contained in WSP#2 is 2,433,332 gallons or 89.6 acre inches with 2,5981bs.N per storage period. These figures do not take in the amount of time to agitate (which must be done thoroughly) and set up equipment. This extra amount of time needs to be figured in the management operation of the dairy to satisfactorily handle all waste produced. waste from the calves will be collected and hauled approx. every six months. The waste from calves will be applied to field 6. This field is not accessible with the irrigation system. The to could also be applied to the odd areas of the irrigated fields. These areas are also not -ssible to the irrigation system. The limiting factor, which is the concern with the operation of these waste storage ponds, is the infiltration rate. Caution should be taken when making multiple applications to prevent runoff. The actual application times could be adjusted to better coincide with the production stage of the crop. 22 y , , WASTES ` TILIZATION --`PLAN 13 , L 7-A MAP SHOWING THE FIELDS TO BE USED FOR THE UTILIZATION OF WASTE. 23 1 ,�, � � �.�-,-»:-=�i'��i �4', .4r •t•'.f `�F�� ���� c-' jJ,.{♦}�y�i icy ' `S'7'„+ai�°'t:� it .'� `l� �`\ - LL?� Xt ��' .y�+t--✓� +:: �� IIx�/ff� 5, i [F a ...� �}rt ,+ +, ' ll. j _ ; �,, f � t ,l � '?'�r�vY �Y �,,..r,� 'i�k�y •`.F'�\ V, � , ' �'� ,,• ��s?q r�W � 14`'„4� � ^'� < �./ }���1 � t 4`.. 14, S f, ,"`�':-' _,!:'"�r?,4.,1i1 - � • "�`'ka ! � h�'. � T`5'y9 +M1�r° I ��'� Y��� �'�'"''. + 1. �I �� �{��;� ..> ,� � f s 1.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. IIlegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has a notarized long term agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide NRCS with a copy of a notarized agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be -applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables at the discretion of the planner. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If a RMS or ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers'' -'-required by•DWQ. I I I -� : 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing or any other condition exists which may cause a danger of drift from the irrigation field.. - b. 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.

Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not damaged.by burning or smothering of the plant. This is'an important consideration where swine, poultry or other ammonia rich waste is being surface applied. Surface broadcast solids or slurries may damage crops if leaf surfaces are matted. Generally waste should be applied such that no more than 20 to 25 percent'of the leaf area is covered. This should not normally be a concern where diluted, low nutrient waste is irrigated or surface broadcast from a liquids holding. structure. Where crops are severely damaged due to waste application, the plants cannot assimilate. the nutrients and discharge of pollutants to surface waters is likely to occur. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops. on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should . be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. On soils with a high potential for leaching, multiple application at lower rates should be used. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production & reduce the potential for pollution, the waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil, or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or -disking will conserve nutrients. . s "' 11.

Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways which discharge directly into water courses. If animal waste is to be applied on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates and in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon/holding pond embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon/holding pond areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon/holding pond berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. . 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing an "approved closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis -to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular. maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible permanent markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons.

The topsoil and sod are to be stockpiled. After stripping, . the foundation arga will be prepared to assure a bond with the -fill by removing loose dry material, scarifying, disking, adjusting water content, and compacting as necessary. Cutoff trench A cutoff trench under the embankment area shall be constructed when shown on the construction drawing. Final depth of cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation materials. Sand, gravel, and other more permeable materials shall. be removed to prevent leakage under the embankment. Excavation The completed excavation for the storage area shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations shown on the plans or as staked in the field. Fill placement The material placed in the fill shall be free of detrimental amounts of sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over 6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent they are suitable, excavated materials are to be used as fill. The distribution and gradation of materials shall be such that there will be no lenses, pockets, streaks, or layers of material differing substantially in texture or graduation from the surrounding material. 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 two passes of standard tamping roller, or other equivalent method approved by the engineer. Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectable. Placement of topsoil Available topsoil should be placed on the. top and the exposed slopes of the lagoon embankment. Water Control The minimum water content of the material and foundation shall be such that, when kneaded in the hand, the fill material will form a ball that does not readily separate. The maximum water content is when conditions are too wet for efficient use of the hauling and compaction equipment. Materials Materials and fabrication shall be as specified on the drawings. Material to be used for fill shall come from designated borrow areas. Installation of structures and appurtenances The inlet structure or conduit shall be placed on a firm foundation to the lines and grades shown on the plans. Installation shall be constructed in a skillful and workmanlike manner. Extreme caution must be exercised in backfill and compaction around structures or conduits to prevent damage, movement, or deflection. General Construction operations shall be carried out in a manner and sequence that erosion and air pollution will be minimized and held within legal limits. The completed job shall present a workmanlike appearance and shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations shown on the drawings or staked in the field. All operations shall be'carried out in a safe and skillful manner. Safety and health regulations shall be observed and appropriate safety measures used. 4 0 Beii Dairy L.

CANADA .w..�V.�.� copy+ignt try the Colman-Auoa Company r: IMPORTANT WATER HAMMER -- Spears Manufacturing Company, recommends that all PVC and CPVC plastic piping systems be designed and constructed to AVOID EXCESSIVE WATER HAMMER. Water hammer can cause damage, and failure to pipe, valves, and fittings within the piping system. CAUTION —Spears Manufacturing Company DOES NOT RECOMMEND the use of thermoplastic piping products for systems to transport or store compressed air or gases, or the testing of thermoplastic piping systems with compressed air or gases in above and below ground locations. The use of Spears products in compressed air or gas systems automatically voids Spears warranty for such products, and their use against our recommendation is entirely the responsibility and liability of the installer. Spears Manufacturing Company will not accept responsibility for damage or impairment of its products, or other consequential or incidental damages caused by misapplication, incorrect assembly, and/or exposure to harmful substances or conditions. PLEA SE(VOTE —When temperatures rise above 73°F, the tensile strength of thermoplastics decreases, thereby derating the pipe or fitting Maximum Internal Pressure. When temperatures fall below 73°F, the tensile strength of thermoplastics increases, however, the impact strength decreases. Maximum operating temperatures for PVC piping systems should not exceed 140OF (110°F threaded systems). Maximum operating temperatures for CPVC piping systems should not exceed 200°F (150OF threaded systems). THRUST BLOCKING — Water under pressure exerts thrust forces in piping systems. Thrust blocking should be provided, as necessary, to prevent movement of pipe or appurtenances in response to thrust.

Material Where SCHEDULE PVC pipe is shown on the drawings, all pipe and fittings shall be manufactured from virgin compounds either PVC 1120 or PVC 1220, conforming to ASTM standard D-1785. Solvent cement for PVC plastic pipe must meet ASTM D-2564 Standard Specification requirements. Where SDR PVC pipe is shown on the drawings, all pipe shall be manufactured from virgin compounds either PVC 12454-B or PVC 12454-C or PVC 14333-D, conforming to ASTM standard D-1784. Where C-900 PVC.pipe is shown on the drawings, all pipe shall be manufactured from virgin compounds either PVC 12454-A or PVC 12454-B, conforming to ASTM standard D-1784. All C-900 PVC pipe shall be Class fr 150 unless otherwise specified. • 3. Fittings an!;L.Couplings All PVC fittings and couplings...shall be installed watertight according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Solvent welded pipe and fittings shall be thoroughly cleaned to remove all foreign materials and grease which would inhibit bonding. Solvent cement shall be thoroughly applied to all bonding surfaces in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. All SDR and C-900 PVC pipe shall have a gasketed integral bell. Inspect the gasket and insure that.it is not twisted or turned to prevent proper seating in the groove. Wipe the pipe ends with a rag to remove any foreign material just before applying lubricant. The gasket and the spigot, up to the full insertion mark including the tapered portion -of the spigot shall be thoroughly coated with the lubricant recommended by the manufacture of the pipe. 1r DA-NRCS NC AREA 1 Paae 1 PVC PIPE March 1994 1%. If field cutting is required, the pipe shall be cut square. Use an appropriate pipe cutter. or a conventional saw with a 900 miter box. Field cut ends shall be beveled to the same angle as the factory bevel. • All field cut pipe shall have a full insertion mark placed on the pipe which matches the factory full insertion mark. 4. Handling and Installation All PVC pipe and fittings shall be delivered to the site and handled on site in a manner which protects the structural integrity of the pipe. When unloading the pipe, do not throw, whip or drop the pipe. Chains shall not be used to handle the pipe at any time. Store pipe on a flat sufface so the barrel _is -evenly supported.: Do not stack higher.than four feet. If the pipe is bell and spigot, stack with the bells in opposing directions on alternate rows so they are not supporting the full load of the pipe. Rubber gaskets shall be kept clean and protected from grease, oil, and excessive heat. Pipe shall be placed in the earth trench on grades as shown in the drawings. The minimum clear width in the bottom of the trench shall be 18 inches or 1 foot greater than the outside diameter of the pipe whichever is greater. The trench bottom shall be smooth and uniform to prevent severe deflection of the pipe at the joints. The trench bottom shall be free of frozen material, clodded soil and stones over one-half inch in diameter. In areas where the trench bottom is hard, the hard material must be overexcavated and a layer of soft backfill material, at least 4 inches deep must be provided to insure the pipe barrel is adequately cushioned. 3 Care shall be taken to prevent soil or other foreign material from entering the pipe prior to placement. - Friable earth fill or approved aggregate material shall be placed around the haunches of the pipe and compacted by hand. Manual compaction in layers..no more.than nine inches shall continue.for_no less than twelve inches about the top of the pipe. Where pipes pass through embankment fill, the layers shall be no more than 4 inches. No rocks or other solid material three inches or larger shall be placed within twelve inches of the pipe. A minimum earth fill cover of 24 inches shall be maintained along the full length of the pipe, unless otherwise specified. 5.

The standard includes the design criteria and minimum installation requirements for high- pressure, plastic Irrigation pipellmmAnd specifications for the thermoplastic pipe. Purpose To prevent erosion or losses of water quality or damage to the land, to make possible proper management of irrigation water, and to reduce water conveyance losses. Conditions where practice applies All pipelines shall be planned and located to serve as an integral part of an irrigation water distribution or conveyance system designed to facilitate the conservative use and management of the soil and water resources on a farm or group of farms. Water supplies, water quality, and rates of Irrigation delivery for the area served by the pipelines shall be sufficient to make irrigation practical for the crops to be grown and the Irrigation water application method to be used. Plastic pipelines installed according to this standard shall be placed only in suitable soils where the bedding and backfill requirements can be fully met. Planning considerations Water Quantity 1. Effects on components of the water budget, especially Infiltration and evaporation. 2. Effects on downstream flows or aquifers that would affect other water uses or users. 3. Potential use for Irrigation water management. 4. Effects of Installing a pipeline on vegetation that may have been located next to the original conveyance: Water Quality 1. Effects of installing the pipeline, replacing other types of conveyances, on channel erosion the moiameat_of.sedimgrd and Qolublaand sediment -attached substances carried by water. 2. Effects. on the movement of dissolved substances into the soils and on percolation below the root zone or to ground water recharge. 3. Effects of controlled water delivery on the temperatures of water resources that could cause undesirable effects on aquatic and wildlife communities. 4. Effects on wetlands or water -related wildlife habitats. S. Effects on the visual quality of water resources. Design criteria Working pressure and flow velocity. The ' "" " - ' minimum acceptable class of pipe shall be that having a pressure rating for water of 80 Ib/In2. The pipeline shall be designed to meet all service requirements without an operating pressure, Including hydraulic transients, or static pressure at any point greater than the pressure rating of the pipe used at that point. As a safety factor against surge or water hammer, the working pressure should not exceed 72 percent of the pressure rating of the pipe, nor should. the design Row velocity at system capacity exceed 5 ft/s. If either of these limits is exceeded, special SCS, January 1989 consideration must be given to the flow conditions and measures taken to adequately protect the pipeline against surge. Capacity. The design capacity of the pipeline shall be based on whichever of the following criteria is greater: - 1. The capacity shall be sufficient to deliver the volume of water required to meet the peak -period consumptive use of the crop or crops to be Irrigated. 2. The capacity shall be sufficient to provide an adequate stream for all methods of irrigation planned. Friction'losses. ,For'design purposes, friction head losses shall, be no less than those computed by the Hazen -Williams equation, using a roughness coefficient, c, equal to 150. Outlets. Appurtenances required to deliver water from the pipeline t"n Individual. sprinkler or to a lateral line of sprinklers or surface pipe located on the ground surface shall be known as outlets. Outlets shall have adequate capacity to deliver the design flow to the indlvidual sprinkler, surface lateral line of sprinklers, or surface pipe at the design operating pressure. Check valves. A check valve shall be Installed between the pump discharge and the pipeline where backflow may occur. Pressure -relief valves. A pressure -relief valve shall be Installed between the pump discharge arid'the pijielinNei `ezcessive`pr'essure can build up when all valves are dosed. Pressure -relief valves shall be Installed on the discharge side of the check valve where a reversal of flow may ,!,,occur and at the end of the pipeline If needed to relieve surge at the end of the line. Pressure -relief valves shall be no smaller than 1/4-in. nominal size for each Inch of the pipeline diameter and shall be set to open at a pressure no greater than 5 Ib/in2 above the pressure rating of the pipe. The pressure at which the valves start to open shall be marked on each pressure -relief valve Adjustable pressure -relief valves shall be sealed or otherwise altered to prevent changing the adjustment from that marked on the valve. Manufacturers of pressure -relief valves marketed for use under this standard shall provide capacity tables, based on performance tests, that give the discharge capacttles of the valves at the maximum permissible pressure and differential pressure settings. Such tables shall be the basis for design of pressure setting and of acceptance of these valves. Air -release valves. The three basic types of air - release valves for use on Irrigation pipelines are described below: An air -release valve, a continuously acting valve that has a small venting oriflce, generally ranging between 1 /1 B and 3/8 in. in size. This valve releases pockets of air from the pipeline once the line is -filled and under working pressure. An air -and -vacuum valve, which has a large venting orifice, exhausts large quantities of air from the pipeline during filling and allows air to reenter the line and prevents a vacuum from -. Jwning during emptying. _MsZAxi cd valve Is sometimes called air -vacuum -release valve or air - vent -and -vacuum -relief valve. It is not continuous acting because it does not allow further escape of air at working pressure once the valve closes. A combination air valve Is sometimes called a combination air -release and air -vacuum valve or combination air -and -vacuum -relief valve. it Is continuous acting and combines the functions of both the air -release valve and the air -and -vacuum valve. Both valves are housed In one valve body. If needed to provide positive means for air escape dtid filling'and'air entry while emptying, alr-and-vacuum valves or combination air valves shall be installed at all summits, at the entrance, and at the end(s) of the pipeline. Such valves .generally are -needed at these locations If the line Is truly dosed to the atmosphere. However, they may not be needed If other features of the pipe system, such as permanently located sprinkler nozzles or other unclosed service outlets, adequately vent the particular location during filling and emptying operations. l 7 SCS, January 1989 (.0 i 0 I IR1 idllU U1 d1s-i4:914idbe VSIVU UldiIICICI LU Pip" diameter -for valves intended to release air when filling the pipe should not be less than 0.1. However, small -diameter valves maybe used to limit water hammer pressures by controlling air release where control of filling veloeitles is questionable. Equivalent valve outlet diameter of less than 0.1 are permitted for continuously acting air release valves. Adequate vacuum relief must be provided. Air -release valves or combination air valves shall be used as needed to permit air to escape from the pipeline while the line is at working pressure. Small orifices of these types shall be sized according to the working pressure and venting requirements recommended by the valve manufacturer. Manufacturers of air vales marketed for use under this standard shall provide dimensional data, which shall be the basis for selection and acceptance of these valves. Drainage. Provision'shaWte maderfor completely draining the pipeline if a hazard is Imposed by freezing temperatures, drainage Is recommended by the manufacturer of the pipe, or drainage of the line is speciffed for the job. If provisions for drainage are required drainage outlets shall be located at all low places in the line. These outlets may drain Into dry wells or to points of lower elevation. If drainage cannot be provided by gravity, provisions shall be made to empty the line by pumping or by other means. Flushing. If provisions are needed for flushing the line free of sediment or other foreign material, a suitable valve''itWl tie lnstalled:at the`distal end of the pipeline. Thrust control. Abrupt changes in pipeline grade, horizontal alignment, or reduction in pipe size normally require an anchor or thrust blocks to absorb any axial thrust of the pipeline. Thrust control may also be needed at the end of the pipeline and at in41ne control valves. Thrust blocks and anchors must be large enough to withstand the forces tending to move the pipe. Including those of momentum and pressure as well as forces due to expansion and contraction. The pipe manufacturers recommendations for thrust control shall be followed. In absence of the pipe manufacturer's requirements, the I VIIVnq itj iVl [Ill1id IIIUJI UC uwvu 141 CiCJIyf 11i Iy thrust blocks: 96 Nt?, . a A . a sin z Where: A - Area at Mrust Slack OQuirsd in Ft'I H .

The top width of the fin shall then be no less than 10 ft and the We slopes no steeper than.0:1. it extra pmtsc- tion is needed at vehide crossings, eftcasement pipe or other appicved methods may be used. Trench construction. The trench at any point below the top of the pipe shall be only wide enough to permit the pipe to be easily placed and joined and to allow the initial backfill material to be uniformly placed under the haunches and along the side of the pipe. The maximum trench width shall be 36 in greater than the diameter of the pipe. tf the trench is precision excavated and has a SCS, .January 1989 semicircular bottom that closely fits the pipe, the width shall not exceed the outside diameter of the pipe by mom that 10 percent. The trench bottom shall be uniform so that the pipe lies on the bottom wMXXA bridging. Clods, rocks. and uneven 1 spas that can damage the pipe or cause nonuniform sup- port shall be removed. If rocks, boulders, or any other material that can da the pipe are encountered, the trench bottom shall be under- cut a minimum of 4 in below final grade and filled with bed- ding matenal consisting of sand or compacted fine-grained soils. Pipelines having a diameter of 'A through 21h in that are to be placed in areas not subject to vehicular loads and in soils that do not crack appreciably when dry may be placed by using "plow -in" equipment instead of conventional trenching. Provisions shall be made to insure safe working condi• tions where.unstable soil, trench depth, or other conditions can be hazardous to personnel working in the trench. Placement. Care shall be taken to prevent permanent dis. tortion and damage when handling the pipe during unusu. ally warm or cold weather. The pipe shall be allowed to come within a few degrees of the temperature h will have after it is completely covered before placing the backfill, - other than that needed for shading, or before connecting the pipe to other facilities. The pipe shall be uniformly and continuously supported over its entire length on firm stable material. Blocking or mounding shall not be used to bring the pipe to final grade. For pips with bell joints, bell holes shall be excavated in Me bedding material, as needed. to allow for unobstructed assembly of the joint and to permit the body of the pipe to be in contact with the bedding material throughout its length. 4 Joints and connectlons. All joints and connections shall be designed and constructed to withstand the design maxi- mum working pressure for the pipeline without leakage and to leave the inside of the line tree of any obstruction that may tend. to treduce.ib.capacity;below design requirements. All fittings, such as couplings, reducers, bends, tees, and crosses, shall be installed according to the recommenda- tions of the pipe manufacturer. Fittings made of steel or other metals susceptible to eor- msion shall be adequately protected by being wrapped with plastic tape or by being coated with a substance that has high corrosion -preventative qualities. if plastic tape is used, all surfaces shall be thoroughly leaned and coated with a primer compatible with the tape before wrapping. Thrust blocks. Thrust blocks must be formed against a solid hand -excavated trench wall undamaged by mechanic cei equipment. They shalt be constructed of concrete, and the space between the pipe and trench wall shall be filled to "is height of the outside diameter of the pipe or as spec- ified by the manufacturer. Testing. The pipeline shall be tested for pressure strength, leakage, and proper functioning. The tests may be per - Wined before back -filling or anytime after the pipeline is ready for service. /"1 LJ t.9 • Tests tot pressure strength and !oaks !hail be aCcom- plished by inspecting the pipeline and appurtenances while the maximum working pressure is maintained and all joints and conneCtloni are uncovered, or by observing normal operation of the p>petine attar it is put into service. Partial backfilWneeded to hold the pipe in place during testing shall be placed as specified in "Initial 9acxfill." Any teaks shall be repaired and the system retested. The pipeline shall be tested to insure that it functions property at design capacity. At or below design capacity them shall be no objectionable flow conditions. Oblectiona- ble flow conditions shall include water hammer, continuing unsteady delivery of water, damage to the pipeline, or detri- mental discharge from control valves. Initial backfill. Hand, mechanical, or water packing math- ods may be used. The initial backfill material shall be soil or sand that is free from rocks or stones larger than 1 in. in diameter. At the time of placement, the moisture content of the material shall be such that the required degree of compaction can be obtained with the backfill method to be used. The initial backfill material shall be placed so that the pipe will not be displaced. excessively deformed, or damaged. If backfilling is done by hand or mechanical means, the initial fill shall be compacted firmly around and above the pipe as required to provide adequate lateral support to the pipe. If the water packing method is used, the pipeline first shall be filled with water, The initial backfill before wetting shelf be of sufficient depth to insure complete coverage of the pipe after consolidation. Water packing is accomplished by adding enough water to diked reaches of the trench to thoroughly saturate the initial backfill without excessive pooling. After the backfill is saturated. the pipeline shall remain full until after the final backfill is made. The wetted Nil shall be allowed to dry until firm before beginning the final backfill. Final backfill. The final backfill material shall be free of large rocks, frozen clods, and other debris greater than 3 in. in diameter. The material shall be placed and spread in approximateiy uhiform,tayers so thaf'there will be no unfilled spaces in the backfill and the backfill will be level With the natural ground or at the design grade required to provide the minimum depth of cover after settlement. Poll- ing equipment shall not be used to consolidate the final backfill until the spectfied minimum depth of cover has been placed. All special backfilling requirements of the pipe manufac- turer shall be met. Beals of acceptance. The acceptability of the pipeline shall be determined by inspections to check compliance with all the provisions of this standard with respect to the do9ion of the line, the pipe and pipe marxing, the appurte- nances, and the minimum installation requirements. Certifications and guarantee. If requestr,d by the state wnservatton engineer, a qualified testing laparatary must certify with supporting test results that the pipe me*" the requirements specified in this standard. The seal of approval of a recognized laboratory on pipe beanng one of the ASTM designations listed in this standard may be accepted for this Certification.

Filter strips are borders of peren= nial vegetation around the perime- ter of crop fields that help check runoff and filter out sediment, nutri- ents, pesticides, and other non - point source pollutants by filtration. They are an important conservation practice for reducing water pollution when used as buff - United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service Raleigh. North Carolina er strips between cropland and channels. Filter strips should be used as a component of a com- ► plete resource management sys- tem. Shaping Filter strips need to be shaped to insure uniform distribution of flow Low spots that permit concentra- urr-ion_inc tion of runoff water reduces the ef- fectiveness of filter strips. Since soil tends to build up at the end of fields during land preparation, fil- ter strip areas need to be graded lower than the elevation of the end of the rows to permit row drain- age. A good guide is to grade fil- ter strip six inches lower than the end of rows. .Ma,.-. Width Width of filter strips will vary. Gen- erally, on level land a minimum of 15 feet is needed when channels are perpendicular to rows and 3 feet when channels are parallel to crop rows. Filter strips need to be wider on steeper slopes. Soil Con- servation Service offices have specification for recommended widths for varying slope and soil conditions. Filter ..�..:<Grass-filter,strips are effective buff- ers between cropland and water bodies. Grading and shaping may be needed to provide row drainage. Vegetation _Select a grass or legume that is adapted to your soft conditions. Generally, tall fescue is a good grass for heavier clay soils. Com- mon bermudagrass, Bahia, and/or lovegrass are more adapted to sandy soils. Lime and Fertilizer Apply lime and fertilizer according to soil test recommendations. Nor- , ,ply 2.t9ns,9f.Iime and 8001bs. of 10-10-10 fertilizer when seeding. Mulch Applying small grain straw mulch may ensure the successful estab- lishment of vegetation. Apply at the rate of 1.5 to 2 tons of straw per acre. Maintenance • It is recommended that soil test be made and lime and fertilizer applied as recommended or use the following: — Legume -Grass: In stands of approximately 50% grass and legumes, to 800 i pounds of 0-14-14, 0-10-20, or 0-9-27, depending on P or K needed. Apply 1 to 2 tons lime each 3 to 5 years. Stands with 80% or more grass,_treat as grass alone. — Grass alone: Apply 400 to 800 pounds of 0-10-20, 10-20-20, or 10-10-10 plus 60 to 200 pounds of N in split applications. Apply 1 to 1.5 tons lime each 3 to 5 years. . — Legumes alone: Apply 400 to 800 pounds of 0-14-14, 0-10-20, pr 0-9-27, dependfrig onP arid-K;heedC- Apply 1 to 2 tons lime each 3 to 5 years. W For more details, see SCS Conservation Practice Standard 393 Filter Strip. • Apply fertilizer on warm -season perennials in the spring just be- fore growth starts and on cool - season perennials In the fall or early spring. Heavy applications of ammonium nitrate will re- quire increased use of lime to maintain desirable pH of the soil. • Weed Control: Mowing on filter strips should be done during pe- riods that are normally low in rainfall and pollutants. This will ensure a taller, more efficient fil- ter strip during periods of high -rainfall: • Caution. When using chemi- cals in adjoining fields, sprayers should be shut off before cross- ing or turning in filter strips. Grass strips along channels reduce pollutants that would otherwise`en- ter drainage ditches. Filter strips help remove pollutants in crop fields.

Field borders are those areas of perennial vegetation between crop- land and other land uses such as woodlands, pastureland, roads, etc. Generally, field borders are about 15 feet wide, although greater or lesser widths may be re- quired in certain situations. The more common uses of field bor- ders are for turn rows, travel lanes, United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service Raleigh, Forth Carolina row drainage, wildlife areas, and environmental benefits. Field bor- ders may need to be shaped be- fore they are vegetated. Sometimes shaping is important in flatter land to provide positive row drainage. On steep slopes, shap- ing may be needed for better sur- face water management. Turn Rows and Travel Lanes Field borders are useful around field edges where it is necessary to turn farm equipment. Turn rows should be at least 15 feet wide. Actual width will depend on farm equipment needs. Examples of plants which can be used in this type of field border are hybrid or common Bermudagrass, tall fes- WiF cue, and bahiagrass. Fertilizer and time should be applied as needed to maintain good growth and plant vigor. Strips should be mowed as needed to control weeds and pre- vent tree encroachment. These areas have additional values as wildlife habitat and as filter strips for runoff water from adjacent fields. They are of particular im- portance as feeding areas for young wildlife species during the spring months. Mowing during the months of August through De- cember will enhance these sites for small'game nesting }iabitat dt!Riig the spring and early summer months. Environmental Benefits The management of field runoff is 'extremely important in the control and prevention of stream pollu- tion. Sediment particles which often carry pesticides and nutrients Into streams are trapped in these borders rather than being carried Into the streams during periods of heavy runoff. Plants which are most suited for this use are tall fes- cue, hybrid or common Bermuda - grass, 'Appalow' sevicea lespedeza, 'Ambro' virgata les' edeza, lovegrass, or bahia.; " grass. Combinations of these plants are often most effective. These areas also provide excellent benefits to wildlife populations as nesting covers. To attain these benefits, however, careful atten- tion must be paid to the time of mowing to prevent nest distur- bance. Wildlife Field borders are often established primarily for the benefit of wildlife. Depending on the circumstances 'in a given -area, these borders.can,`' be extremely useful in providing food, nesting and escape cover, and travel lanes, especially for small game species. In many in- stances, the limiting factor on wild- life population is good nesting cover. Field borders established In plants such as switchgrass, bluestem, Indiangrass, Eastern gamagrass, or a combination of these plants can overcome this habitat deficiency. Another major habitat limitation, particularly with the trend toward larger fields, is the lack of good travel lanes to and from the abundant food sup- ply usually found in open fields. These travel lanes, when properly established, provide escape and overhead cover. Plants which are particularly well adapted for. this use are shrub lespedeza (Bicolor, VA-70 and "Natob"j, 'Ambro' Vir- gata Lsppedeza, native warm -sea- son grasses listed above, and Bus Honeysuckle. Natural Beauty Enhancement Vegetated field borders provide a contrast or break in the lines be- tween woods and fields and within fields. These plantings can be used along main drainage systems, along fence rows, roadways, etc. where they will be most effective in improving the aesthetic quaIIties of agricultural areas. In addition, they can often be used as "screens" around unsightly areas. -Plants which are ideally suited for this purpose are Bush Honey- suckle and Shrub Lespedeza. These plants also provide excellent food and nesting cover for game and non -game species of wildlife.

October, 1992 0 Laying Out Fence Line Set a stake at each end of the pro- posed fence line and station another person at one of the ends. Starting from that end, set a stake every 100 feet with other person verifying the alignment of the stakes with the two end stakes. Setting Posts First, locate and set corners, turn points and gates. These are the foun- dations of the fence system which United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service Raleigh, North Carolina keep the wire tight. Use treated posts, black locust, red cedar, or other material of equal life and strength. Use a minimum of 5-inch diameter for corner posts. The usual spacing for intermediate posts is 10, 12, and 30 feet apart for barbed, woven, and high tensile electric wire, respectively. Height of the fence and the depth of post setting determine the length of posts needed. The corner posts should be set at least 3 1/2 feet in the ground. Corner and End -Post Assembly Following are the steps in construct- ing single -span assemblies. Repeat as necessary for double span assem- blies. • Dig the holes for the anchor and brace posts, spacing them 8 feet apart. • Set the anchor post, but not the brace post. Tamp the soil firmly as you 'replace it around the post. ti Lean the top of the post I inch away from the direction of the fence pail so that it will straighten to a plumb position when the fence is stretched. • Stand the brace post in its hole and fasten the wood brace to both posts. Use dowel pin con- struction for a strong assembly. • Set the brace post, tamping the soil firmly as you replace it around the post. • Attach the brace wire and splice the ends together. Tighten the wire by twisting it with a strong stick or rod. Leave'the stick -or rod in place so that you can ad- just the tension when necessary. Woven Wire Fences The styles and designs of woven wire fencing are designated by a three- or four-cligit number; for ex- ample, 1047 or 939. The first or first two digits indicate the number of line wires in the fencing and the Lot two indicate the height in inches. Stay (vertical) wires are spaced 12 Inches in fences for horses and 6 inches for hogs and cattle. Standard designs of woven wire fencing are combined with barbed wire. Barbed Wire Fences ' . The 12 1/2-gauge wire with 4-point barbs is the most widely used for cat- tle and horses. The lighter 15 1/2 gauge wire is also used. Unroll, stretch, and fasten one line at a Rime. In a combination fence, attach the barbed wire below, the woven wire first. Then attach the wires above the woven wire, starting with the lowest one and working upward. Erecting The Fence • Fasten one end of the wire roll to the anchor post, leaving enough wire free to wrap around the post and splice. If the anchor post is a gatepost, remove the barbs from the wire to be wrapped around the post to prevent injury to per- sons or animals using the gate. • Wrap the wire around the post and splice it onto itself, 3 1/2 to 4 turns. • Unroll the wire along the ground to the next anchor post. Unroll it straight off the roll — not off the side. • Set up a dummy post about 8 feet beyond the second anchor post and brace it. If you are erect- ing a combination woven wire -"`and barbed wire fence, you can use the dummy post set up to stretch the woven wire fencing. Attach a fence stretcher or a block and tackle unit to the dummy post, and attach the wire 'to the stretcher unit. • Staple each strand of barbed wire to each line post. Drive staples di- agonally with grain of wood and at slight downward angle, not against the wire so tightly as to bind wire to the post so animals pushing against wire cause wire to pull staples from posts. Slack strands may be tightened in later years by loosening wire at comer post and restretching if wire is not bound tight to each line post. Stretch top "strands of barbed wire first so other strands will not tangle with those in place. Use 9- gauge galvanized staples with minimum length 1 1/2 inches for softwood and 1 inch for hard- wood. Safety Precautions • Wear heavy leather gloves, boots or high shoes, and tough, close -fit- ting clothing. • It is dangerous to use a tractor to stretch woven wire or barbed wire fencing. While up on the tractor you may not be able to tell when the fencing has been For more details, see SCS Conservation Practice Standard 382 - Fencing. stretched to the breaking point If the wire should break, you could be injured seriously by the recoil of the clamp bar, chain, or fencing. • Carry staples, nails, or other fas— teners. in a metal container or in Ail an apron — not on your person. Under no circumstances carry them in your mouth -- a common but extremely dangerous habit. • When stretching woven wire or barbed wire, stand on the oppo- site side of the post from the wire and stretcher unit. '• If you handle preservative -treated posts, do not rub your hands or gloves on your face or other parts of your body. Some people are al- lergic to the chemical. Lightning Protection Livestock may be killed instantly if near an ungrounded or improperly grounded wire fence that receives a lightning discharge. The current may travel as far as 2 miles along the wire fence. Ground wire fences which have wood post. Drive a 1/2- or 3/4- inch steel rod at least 5 feet into the ground and allow it to extend a few inches above the post. Fasten the rod to the post with the pipe straps so that it touches all the wires. Another way to ground the fence is to use an extra long steel post, set 5 feet into the ground, every 150 feet.

C. Myers TO' John L. Caviness DC, SC S Statesville, NC Date: February 28, 1983 File Code: 430 Here is a sumtmary of the findiags we made on February 24 at the above referenced waste lagoon sites in Iredeli County. L. P. Bell - This site is situated aver are intermittent drainageway with strongly sloping (12%) sides. The slopes are of Cecil like soil and the bottom is deep deposited material of a clayey texture. This investigation did not indicate the presence of a sandy layer in the deposited material within a depth of 10 feet. If a sandy or more pervious layer is exposed in cutting provision for selling the area will have to be made. Diverting of the surface water will be a problem with this site. With these exceptions this site seems to be suitable for this use. Von Bell - This site is situated on a sidesslope of about 8-9% grade. The soil. is Pacolet like (shallow Cecil) with fairly micaceous sub horizons. The lagoon will be built beside a small permanently flaring stream with a depP channel. The soil.is generally suitable for this construction. However with the presence of. -loamy horizons below 50 inches -on -the slope and the amount of mica present at these depths a liner of impurvious clay over the entire crater area would be advisable. This is particularly important since the. possibility exists for seepage directly into the small stream. H. C. Myers - This site is on a gently sloping Cecil soil. A dawsilo cut into the slope at the lower side indicates that the clayey layers of the soil are more than 50" thick and the soil is fats! ly typical "Cecil." No serious hazards are apparent on this site. Since the sub horizons are not normally clayey the bottom should be lined with clay to assure no seepage. C. M.

Instructions on reverse side. • 2. Attach additional sheets -as needed. Date Date '9 INSTRUCTIONS All dams built with technical assistance from the Soil Conservation Service must have a hazard classification assigned by the person responsible for approving the design. Most farm ponds, except in borderline cases, can be classified after a complete field investigation without assuming failure and making breach studies. This data sheet is to be used for recording the information obtained through field studies and for documenting the hazard classification. Where there is a possibility for loss of life or major property damage from a dam failure, an approved breach routing procedure is to be used. (Consult with the area engineer.) Hazard classifications of dams are made by evaluating the possibility for loss of life and the extent of damage that would result if the dam should suddenly breach --that is --a section of the dam be suddenly -and. completely washed dui. It is to be a'ssu'Med that a wall of water will be released equal to the height of -the dam. This flood wave will be reduced in height as it moves down the flood plain. The wave height (depth of flooding) should be evaluated for a sufficient distance downstream until the estimated flood level will not cause significant damage to improvements, such as homes, buildings, roads, utilities, reservoirs, etc. The breach flood level will be reduced depending on the valley storage, slope, and openess'.�of the flood plain; however, in a narrow -steep valley slopes steeper than 10% should be given special consideration. One method of evaluation is to compare available valley storage (under flood conditions) to impoundment storage (figured to the top of the dam) for each reach evaluated with a judgment estimate made of the flood wave height at all critical points downstream. Should there be any questions about the hazard classification for a dam, . the area engineer should be consulted before making -design commitments. l 'Fie SUR WC, Ma ae V ���fff � i ^ l.4....... .�.. ��{� �h 4, _ h, y f. �J+M1 � +n �Yw• f..Y !�M W ri�w r � K a � ..4r yr- ,r.+�,i,i -Ill- ,1,.',jyprfE .iry �� � � �' i 6 .-r-r, r r'[ dy... -�' 5 t + � .j - • yl } b i., ,f.- y..

The topsoil and sod are to be stockpiled. After stripping, the foundation area will be prepared to assure a bond with the fill by removing loose dry material, scarifying, disking, adjusting water content, and compacting as necessary. Cutoff trench A cutoff trench under the embankment area shall be constructed when shown on the construction drawing. Final depth of cutoff trench shall be determined by observation -of the foundation materials. Sand, gravel, and other more permeable materials shall be removed to prevent leakage under the embankment. Excavation The completed excavation for the storage area shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations shown on the plans or as staked in the field. Fill placement The material placed in the fill shall be free of detrimental amounts of sod, roots, frozen soil, N stones over 6 inches in diameter,:;•and .-other objectionable material. To the extent they are suitable, excavated materials are to be used as fill. The distribution and gradation of materials shall be such that there will be no lenses, pockets, streaks, or layers of material differing substantially in texture or graduation from the surrounding material. 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 two passes of standard tamping roller, or other equivalent method, approved by the engineer. Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectable. Placement of topsoil Available topsoil should be placed on the top and the exposed slopes of the lagoon embankment. Water Control The minimum water content of the material and foundation shall be such that, when kneaded in the hand, the fill material will form a ball that does not readily separate. The maximum water content is when conditions are too wet for efficient use of the hauling and compaction equipment. Materials Materials and fabrication shall be as specified on the drawings. Material to be used for fill shall come from designated borrow areas. Installation of structures and appurtenances The inlet structure or conduit shall be placed on a firm .foundation to the lines and grades shown on the plans. Installation shall be constructed in a skillful and workmanlike manner. Extreme caution must be exercised in backfill and compaction around structures or conduits to prevent damage, movement, or deflection. General .w: Construction operations shall be carried out in a manner and sequence that erosion and air pollution will be minimized and held within legal limits. The completed job shall present a workmanlike appearance and shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations shown on the drawings or staked in the field. All operations shall be carried out in a safe and skillful manner. Safety and health regulations shall be observed and appropriate safety measures used. • Soil Conservation Service �eptenocr :7�u File Code: 21.0 HAZARD i.Lj6SIFICATION DATA SKEET FOR DAMS • Landowner L• PM'y 8e1� 'County' • Cormiunity or Group No. evo Conservation P1an.No. Estimated Depth of w::t:er to.Top of Oam 4(j -Ft. •,Length of Flood Pool Ft.

ALIO�•�` i ��1111i1111tttlN SUBJECT: Field Visit to Perry Bell III Dairy Farm . On April 20, 1995, you and I investigated the soils on the Perry Bell farm on Bell Farm Road in the Oakdale Community to find suitable clayey soil for a dairy waste holding pond. Three areas were studied, one in a row crop field, one in the woods, and one in a pasture. 0 Three distinct soil types were identified: 1. Cecil loam, 2 to 8 percent slopes 2. Pacolet loam, 2 to 8 percent slopes 3. Worsham loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes _ The portion of, the farm investigated consists of a ridgetop and an upland draw. Cecil soils are on the ridgetop in the pasture, Pacolet soils are on the ridgetop in the row crop field and Worsham soils are in the upland draw. Following are the pedon descriptions obtained on the property: 1. Cecil loam on a 2 to 8 percent slope ridgetop: Ap -- 0 to 8 inches; brown (7.5YR 4/4) loam (field estimate 25 percent clay); moderate medium and fine granular structure.

C -- 41 to'60 inches; multicolored coarse sandy loam saprolite; massive. Worsham loam on a 0 to 2 percent slope upland draw: 0 -- 0 to 17 inches; decomposed dairy waste. Al -- 17 to 29 inches; loamy to sandy local alluvium. A2 -- 29 to 43 inches; dark grayish brown 00YR 4/2) loam (field estimate 25 percent clay); strong medium subangular blocky structure. Bt -- 43 to 76 inches; yellowish red (5YR 4/6) clay (field estimate 50 percent clay) common medium distinct grayish brown (2.5YR 5/2) mottles; strong medium and fine angular blocky structure. BC -- 76 to 87 inches; yellowish red (5YR 4/6) sandy clay loam Ifield estimate 35 percent clay); common medium distinct grayish brown 12.5YR 5/2) mottles; moderate medium subangular blocky structure. 1. If the target clay content for the liner and dam core is about 30 to 40 percent then the entire profile from the A to the BC of Cecil and Pacolet is usable if the horizons are mixed together. The clay in Cecil --V and Pacolet soils is Kaolinitic. It will pack well but will not swell when wet. 2. The Worsham soil is usable from 29 to 87 inches. This includes the A, Bt, and BC and excludes the organic layer and the washed in soil (local alluvium). The clay in Worsham soil is of mixed mineralogy. This means that it contains some montmorillonite. The field evidence of this was the sticky and plastic nature of the clayey horizons. Montmorillonite swells in volume when wetted, reducing the pore volume and becoming a good water tight seal. This makes Worsham the best choice as a source of clay of the three areas tested. Thanks for this opportunity to provide you with soils information in support of the district program. When the time comes, let me help you develop specific site soil information for the land application operation on this farm. I look forward to working with you again. .V SOIL INVESTIGATION' TO DETERMINE SUITA91LITY OF PROPOSED POND SITE T.kRMZR'S NANLL DISIMUCf DATE COUNTY S. C. S. PHOTO SHEET NO.

TITLE NC-ENG-13b U.B. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE NC AREA 2 Natural Resources Conservation Service CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS FOR WASTE STORAGE PONDS (425) AND WASTE - TREATMENT LAGOONS ( 3 5 9 ) 5 Clearing & Site Preparation: The entire waste storage pond or waste treatment lagoon construction site shall be cleared of all trees, stumps, roots, brush, sod and debris. All stumps and all roots exceeding one (1) inch in diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of one (1) foot. Satisfactory disposition will be made for all debris. After clearing is completed the construction foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly and roughly leveled, with suitable equipment, before placement of any embankment material.. Cutoff Trench: A cutoff trench shall be excavated as shown on the plans or indicated under Special Provisions or as staked in field by an NRCS representive_ The cutoff trench shall be backfilled and compacted with the most impervious and compactable soil material available on the construction site. The layers of backfill may not exceed 9" in depth. All standing water shall be removed from the trench before backfilling is started. Embankment Construction: The material placed in the embankment shall be free of sod, roots, stones over 6 inches in diameter, frozen soil material and other objectionable materials. The fill material shall be placed and spread over the entire fill in layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness. Construction of the fill shall be undertaken only at such times that the moisture content of the fill material will permit a reasonable degree of compaction. Each layer will be compacted by complete coverage with hauling and spreading equipment or two passes of standard tamping roller, or other equivalent method approved by the engineer. Refer to Special Provisionsfor additional requirements concerning specified density, compacting equipment, or . sequence of operations necessary to obtain the required density. The MRCS representive shall be responsible for determining if soil moisture is within the acceptable range that will aiilow soil compaction to the required density. Sealing : A soils liner may be required as the result of information obtained during the Natural Resources Conservation Service's geologic investigation. If the investigation shows the need for a soils liner, the specifications are attached to this document. If during construction unsuitable soil material is exposed that was not located by the inital soils investigation, the MRCS will give the landowner and the contractor a copy of the construction specifications for the construction of a soils liner. Construction Materials: All construction materials such as concrete, reinforcing wire, reinforcing bar, drain pipe, culvert pipe, treated timber, valves, gates, concrete block, sand, gravel, riprap, geotextilefabrics, and other specified construction materials shall conform to the specifications shown on the detail drawings or in specifications attached to this document. Fill Material: 'Borrow areas will be designated on the plans and assigned priority (1,2,3,etc.). All fill material shall be taken from these designated areas. The MRCS representive will advise the contractor if there are limits regarding the maximum depth of cut in each borrow area. The contractor will not exceed this depth. in the event the cut depth is exceeded in hte waste storage pond or lagoon, it shall be the responsibility of the contractor, without additional cost to the landowner, to backfill to the planned elevation with an impervious soil material. Pollution Control During Construction: Clearing of waste storage pond or waste treatment lagoon construction sites and borrow areas shall be done in a manner to prevent excessvie pollution and off -site sediment damage. Use temporary seeding or temporary mulch protection on all disturbed areas that are subjected to erosin and will not have substantial additional work performed for 30 days or more. Protection against polutants such as chemicals, fuel, lubricants, sewage, etc., will be provided during construction. ...w Vegetation: All exposed embankment, spillway, and borrow areas shall be seeded as specified in the plans as soon as posibleafter construction. GENERAL These specifications are to be made part of detailed engineering plans for the proposed waste storage pond or waste treatment lagoon embankment, spillway(s)• and reservoir. No changes nor deviations from these plans and specifications shall be allowed without prior approval from the person responsible for approving the plans. RESPONSIBILITIES A. Landowner, The landowner will acquaint himself with the provisions of these plans and specifications to determin that the completed structure will fulfill his present and future needs. Inspection during construction will be the responsibility of the landowner and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Where cost -share funds are received from government agencies, or when the dam falls under the Dam Safety law of 1967, inspection and approval by Natural Resources Conservation Service is mandatory. B. Contractor The contractor will acquaint himself with the provisions of these plans and specifications, conditions at the site that may affect his schedule of operation, and the location and meaning of all stakes on the,site. All benchmarks, grade and line stakes will be left undisturbed and protected by the contractor to facilitate construction and inspection. The contractor, weather permiting, will schedule his work so that it will be a continuous operation until satisfactorly completed. Absence of inspections during construction will not relieve the contractor from completing the work in compliance with these plans and specifications. • Upon completion of the work, final inspection will be made by the landowner and an employee of the NRCS. The contractor will receive approval that all work has been completed satisfactorly or he may correct those items that varyfrom the plans and specifications in order that a subsequent inspection will result in approval. .-C..NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE, The NRCS and its employees are in no manner a part to any verbal or written contract between the landowner and the contractor. NRCS employees, within limit of personel available, will inspect and advise on technique during construction to assure satisfactory compliance with the plans and specifications. NRCS employees will conduct a final inspection for compliance with all plans and specifications concerning this structure', Inspection will determine the satisfactory completion of work so that (a) approval may be given for the eligibility of the landowner to receive cost share from any government agency concerned with this structure, (b) final payment may be made to the contractor, and (c) the dam may be certified under the provisions of the North Carolina Dam Safety Law. SPECIAL PROVISIONS 40_ Foundation Cutoff (Keyway, Cut-off or Core Trench) For Embankment Acutoff of relatively impervious material shall be provided under the dam if necessary. The cutoff shallebe located at or upstream from the centerline of the dam. It shall extend up the abutmrnts as required and be deep enough to extend into a relatively impervious layer or provide for a stable dam when combined with seepage contrlo.
