Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Tammy Butler Peterson, authorizing the operation of the subject
animal waste management system in accordance with General Permit A WG 100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CA WMP) for the Tammy Peterson Farm, located in Sampson County, with an animal capacity of
no greater than the following swine annual averages:
Wean to Finish: 0 Feeder to Finish: 3672 Boar/Stud: 0
Wean to Feeder: 0
Farrow to Finish: 0
Farrow to Wean: 0
Farrow to Feeder: 0
Gilts: 0
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows.
Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows
may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009 and replaces the NPDES
COC issued to this facility with an expiration date of July 1, 2007. You are required to continue
conducting annual surveys of sludge accumulation in all lagoons at your facility; the one-year extension
in Condition ill.19 does not apply.
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 CA WMP, 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 CA WMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either
wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is

Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of t he waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3 . Normally wa ste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface water s wh ich is not allowed
under DWQ regulati.ons.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid d rift and downwind odor
problems.
6 . To m aximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than
30 d ays prior to pla nting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conse rve nutrients and reduce odor problems .
1 of 8
··/ .,/
> ~ This plan is based on the waste application method shown above, If yoU choose to change
methods in the future. you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application
methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which coulti
aUow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to
be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must
be applied to maintain pH In the optimum range for specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission .

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm shQuld produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
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 plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing , hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage. care
shquld ~ exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain Is planted In the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at
agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to
prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 1321.92 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon
sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6609.6 pounds of plant
available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 22 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to com at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 52.8768 acres of land. Please note that these
are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values
may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application
Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific
application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION:
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation
such that runoff or pending occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil
structure, soil texture, water droplet size. and organic solids. The application amount should not
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the
plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
•rhis is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of
freeboard except in the event of the 2 5 year 24 hour storm.
It is the respon sibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
i s operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acre s shown in the tables. Failure to apply
the r ecommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make th is plan invalid .
Call your technical specialist afte r you receive the waste analysis report for assistan ce in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

OENR _ FA'18ID'ILLE REGIONAL OFACE
This letter is to notify you that the subject facility is in violation of its General Permit
NCA282634 Condition III.16.
Your NPDES Permit Number NCA282634 Condition III.16 states:
"All facilities, which are issued a COC to operate under this permit, shall conduct a
survey of the sludge accumulation in all lagoons within one ( 1) year of receiving the
COC and every year thereafter. This survey shall include but not be limited to a sketch
showing the depth of sludge in the various locations within each lagoon. This survey
shall be submitted as part of the facility's annual report in the year it was conducted.
This survey frequency may be reduced if it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the
Division that the rate of sludge accumulation does not warrant an annual survey.
If the sludge accumulation is such that it is greater than the volume for which the lagoon
was designed or reduces the minimum treatment volume to less than the volume for
which the lagoon was designed, a plan must be submitted to the Division's Central Office
within ninety (90) days ofthis determination which documents removal and waste
utilization procedures to be used."
Our records indicate that the Division has not received the sludge survey results for the year
2004 from your facility. The form was due March 1, 2005. To avoid possible enforcement
action for a violation of your permit, please submit the results within thirty (30) days to the

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should
be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields
where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the
limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil
tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic
yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to
maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an
environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to
be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the
crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates,
leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per
year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 1 0 tons
per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when
the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result ion runoff to surface waters
which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be
considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of
nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should
be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to
planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor
problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient
content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste
analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information
on proper sampling techniques , preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab
for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with
15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission .

1 Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land
application . Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited .
2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or
has and agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly dispose of waste,
he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It
is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste
Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for
realistic crop yields based on soil type , available moisture, historical data, climatic
conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the
rate of application for other nutrients .
4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year.
Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons. but less than 10
tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves
the field . (See FOTG Standard 393-Filter Strip}.
5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field .
6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland . When applied to conservation tilled
crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not
occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North
Carolina" for guidance.}
7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not
cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to
control odor or flies .
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils , during rainfall events, or when
the surface is frozen.
Page5

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the
crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential
for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
10 Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils
with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils
should be held to a minimum and a suitable wither cover crop planted to take up
released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting
of the crop or forages breaking dormancy.
11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1 , 1995 shall comply with the
following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a
lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any
residential property boundary and 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 perennial
waters. (See Standard 393-Filter Strips).
12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 1 00 feet to wells.
13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14 Waste shall be applied in a manner no 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
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
that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste
shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from
the site .
16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc.,
shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
17 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
Page6
M00202121362.
18 Waste hackling 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.
19 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 is should only be applied perplant with no further applications
of animal waste during the crop season.
20 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of
the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping
shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between markers. A marker will be
required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.

APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or
groundwater . The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops
in the fields where the waste is to be applied.
This waste ut i lization plan uses nitrogen a s the limi ting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle . Annua l soil
tes t s are s trongly encouraged so that all plant n u trients can be
·balanced for realistic y ields o f the crop to be grown .
Several fact or s are important in implement ing your wa ste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste a n d to
ensure that i t is applied in an environmentall y s afe manner:
1. Always appl y waste based on the needs of t he crop to be
grown a nd the nutri ent con tent of the wa ste . Do not appl y
more nitrogen than the crop can utilize .
2. Soil types are important as they have d i fferent infi ltration
rates, leaching potenti als, cation exchange capaci ties, and
ava ilable water holding capacities.
3 . Normally wa s te shall be appl i ed to land eroding at less than
5 t ons per acre per year. Was te ma y be applied to land
eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established .

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should
be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30
days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor proble~s .
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied .
Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type .
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR {gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
3672 hogs x 1 .9 tons waste/ho gs/year~ 6976.8 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN {PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
3672 hogs x 2 .3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 8445 .6 lbs . PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job . You should plan
time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely
manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
*** This number must be less than or equal to 0 in order to fully
utilize the animal waste N produced.
Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigat ed, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste .
SLUDGE APPLICATION :
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions f or periodic land
application of sludge at agronomi c rates . The sludge will be nutrient
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application
of nutrients or other elements. Your product ion facility will produce
approximately 1358.64 pounds of plant availabl e nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you wi ll have approximately 6793.2
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at t he rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 22.644 acres of land . If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you wi ll need 54.3456 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your
sludge wast e ana lysis, soil types, realistic yields , and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application r ate should not exce e d the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or pending occu rs. This
rate is limited by initial soi l moisture content, soi l structure, soil
texture, water dro pl et s ize, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the ava il abl e water holding capacity o f t he soi l at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available n itrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen need s of t h e crop.
If surface irri ga t ion is the me thod of land appl ication for this plan ,
it is the responsib i lity of the producer a nd irrig at i on designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to prope r ly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2 . Failure to a pply the recommended rates a nd

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by
runoff, drift, manmade conveya nces, direct appli c ation, or
direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which r e ach es surface water is prohibited .
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the
producer either owns or has an agreement for u~e of adequate
land on which to properly apply the waste . If the producer does
not own adequate land to pro p e rly dispose of waste, he/s he shall
provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a
reasonable proximity , allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application . It is the responsibility of the owner of the
facility to secure an updat e of the Waste Utili z ation Plan when
there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals , method of utilization , or available l a nd .
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not e xceed, the
nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, histo rical data, climatic c onditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict
the rate of application for o t her nutrients .
4. Animal was t e shall be applied t o land ero ding l e ss than 5 tons
per acre per year. Waste may be applied to lan d that is ero ding
at 5 or more tons, but less t h an 10 tons per a cre per y e ar
providing grass filter strips are i n stalled wh e re runoff leaves
the field . (See FOTG Standard 393 -Fil t er Stri p )
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is
danger of drift fro m the irri gation field .
6. When animal wast e is t o be applied on acres subject t o
flooding, it will be soil i n c o rp o rated on conve ntionally tilled
cro pland . When applied t o conservation tilled c rops or
grassland , t he waste may b e b roadcast provided the application
does not occur during a season prone to flooding . (Se e "Weather
and Climate in North Caro lina" for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to e x c eed t he s o il
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to
surface waters and in a method which does not caus e drift from
the site during applica tion . No pending should occur in order
to c ontrol odor or flie s .
8. An i mal waste shall n o t b e a pplied to saturated s o ils, during
rainfall events, or whe n the surface is froz e n .
9 : Animal waste shall be applied on actively growi n g cro ps in such

13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of
dwellings other than those owned by the landowner .
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property
and public right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,
drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over-spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided
they have been approved as a land application site by a
"technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharges directly into water courses,
and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from
the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown faci lities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the
animal waste management system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be
established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms,
pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to
protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and

18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or
terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should
be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks,
and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on
site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables
and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if
animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it
should only be applied preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and

state from a storm event less severe than the 25-year, 24-hour
storm. The approved plan will be filed on-site at the farm office
and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District
and will be available for review by NCDWQ upon reque st.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN SHEET 1 OF 2
----------~---~---------------
This ·lagoon is designed for waste t r eatment (permanent storage) and
. 180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned
fluid level <permanent and temporary storage) to be re ach ed may vary
due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount
of fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for:
(1J waste from a~imals and <2> excess rainfall after evaporation. Also
included is storage for the 25 year -24 hour sto r m fo r the location.
The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be
fa i'r 1 y con s t ant t h rough out t h .. ~ y ear~ and f t' o m y ear t o yea t', but e x c e s s
rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not
be a factor• to consi.der in an annual pumping cycle, but this stot·ag"e
volume must always be available.
A maximu~ elevatioM is determined in e~ch design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe<s > from
building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to
begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation
to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established
to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth.
Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two
elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as
we at h e r, s o i 1 s , c t' o p, and e q 1.1 i p m en t i n or d e t' t o a p p l y was t e w i t h o 1.1 t

Methods of application include solid set,
and traveling gun irrigation. Care should

The following items are to be carried out:
be
1. It is stro n gly recommend e d that the treatment lagoo n be pre-
charged to 1/2 its capacity to · prevent excessi ve odo rs during
start-up. Pre-charging reduces the concentrati on of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be
covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete,
flush buildings with recycled lago~n liquid. Fresh water should not
be used for flushing after initia('filling.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachme nt>
before land ~pplication.
3. Begin temporary storage pump-out of the lagoon when fluid level
reaches the elevation 96.~ as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump-
out when the fluid level reaches elevation 94.9 • This tempora r y
stor-age, less 25 yr·-24 hr· stot•m, contains 184758 c1.1bic feet or·
1381991 gallons.

&. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetation.
7. · All surface runoff is to be diverted from . the lagoon to stable
OIJt 1 et s.
8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around
waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will
not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a
residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a
·manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants into waters of the United State s . The Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resource~, Division of Environ-
~ental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
FOUNDATION PREPARATION:
The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be

Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from
the· lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on
the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the
lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior
to placing the first lift o~.fill material to get a good bond .
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT:
The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines,
grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall

& inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent
they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill
shall be brought up in approximately horizontal laye~s not to exceed 9
inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer
will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading
equipment or standard tamping roller or othe~ equival~nt method.
Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed
to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectible.
NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER
SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be
installed using the more impervious materials from the required

Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The
minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture
:content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded
in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water
sh~ll be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content
during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner
material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement.
The maximum water content relates to the soil material ·being too wet
for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper
compaction of the liner includes placement in q inch lifts and
compacted to at least ~0 percent of the maximum ASTM 0698 Dry Unit
Weight of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift
shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next
lift.
The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme-
ability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the
liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner.
The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an estab-
lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and
compaction pr·ocess. Fot' most clay soils, a tamping Ot' sheepsfoot
roller is the preferable type of compaction equipment.
The soil line~ shall be protected from th~ discharge of waste outlet
pipes. -This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks)
or using flexible outlets on waste pipes.
Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant.
When these are specified, additional construction specifications are
included with this Construction Specification.
CUTOFF TRENCH:
R cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when
shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the
cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN SHEET 1 OF 2
----------~-------------------
This ·lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and
180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned
fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary
due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount
of fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for:
(1) waste from a~imals and <2> excess rainfall after evaporation. Also
included is storage for the 25 year -24 hour storm for the location.
The ·volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be
fai~ly conitant throughout t~~ year and from year to year, but excess
rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not
be a factot~ to considet~ in an annual p•.1mping cycle, but this stot~ag"e
volume must always be available.
A maximum elevation is determined in e~ch design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from
building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to
begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation
to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established
to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth.
Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two
.elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as
weather, soils, ct~op, and equipment in or~der~ to apply waste without
runoff or leaching.

3. Begin temporary storage pump-out of the lagoon when fluid level
reaches the elevation 96.~ as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump-
out when the fluid level reaches elevation 94.9 This temporary
storage, less 25 yr-24 hr storm, contains 184758 cubic feet or
1381991 gallons.
SHEET 2 OF 2
1+. The t'ecommended maxim•Jm am'ount to <Ol.pply pe r' it't'igation is
one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3
inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and area~ adjacent to the
lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Rep~ir any eroded areas or areas damaged by r odents and
establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable
outlets.
B. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around
waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will
not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a
residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be appli e d in a
manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants into waters of the United States. The Depat'tlllent of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resource~, Division of Environ-
mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from
the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on
the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the
lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior
to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond.
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT:
The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines,
grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall
be ft·ee of matet·ial such as sod, .,.~oats, fr-ozen soil, stones over•
6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent
they are su itable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill
shall be brought up in approximately horizontal laye~s 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 o r standard tamping roller or othe~ equivalent method.
Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed
to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectible.
NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER
SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoo n shall be
installed using the more impervious materials from the required
excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for
settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment
capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC
Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation

The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for:
(1) waste fr~om aTJimals and <2> excess t'ainfall aftet' evapor'ation. Also
included is storage for the 25 year -24 hour storm for the location.
The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be
fai~ly con~tant throughout t~~ year and from year to year, but excess
rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 y e ar rainfall will not
be a factor~ to consider' in an annual p•Jmping cycle, b•.tt this stot'ag"e
volume must always be available.
A maximum elevation is determined in e~ch design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from
buildingCs>. If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to
begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation
to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation mu s t be established

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
FOUNDATION PREPARATION:
The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be
clear'ed of tr'ees, logs, stumps, t'oots, bt•ush, boulder's, sod and t'ubbish.
Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from
the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on
the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the
lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior
to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond.
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT:
The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines,
gt'ades, and elevations shown on the plans. Eat•thfill matet•ial shall
be fr·ee of matet•ial SI.ICh as sad, r'oots, ft'ozen soil, stones ove ·r·
6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent
they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill
shall be brought up in approximately horizontal laye~s not to exceed 9
inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer
will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading
equipment or standard tamping roller or othe~ equivalent method.
Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed
to consolid a te to the point that settlement is not readily detectible.
NOTE THE S PECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER
SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon s h a ll be
installed u s ing the more imperviou s materials from the required
excavation s . Construction of fill heights shall in c lude 5 perc ent for
settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundm e nt
capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdiction o f the NC
Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the differ-ence in elevation
from the constructed height to the downstream toe o f the dike.
Precaution s shall be taken during construction to prevent exce s sive
erosion and s edimentation.
LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.4 ft.
NOTE: LINERS <PARTIAL OR FULL> ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED S OILS
INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL I S
ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER
IS INCLUDED iN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE S OIL S REPORT.
When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over-
excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured
·perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be bac kfilled
as specified to grade with a SCS approved material (ie-CL,SC,CH).
REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR S PECIAL

Soil liner material shall c o me from an approved borrow area. The
minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture
content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded
in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water
shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content
during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner
material s hall not be less than optimum water content during placement.
The maximum water content relates to the soil material "being too wet
fot• efficient use of ha1.tling equipment and pr··opet• compaction. Pt•opet•
compaction of the liner· includes placement in 9 inch lifts and
compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM 0698 Dry Unit

The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme-
ability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the
liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner.
The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an estab-
lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and
compaction process. For most clay soils, a tam~ing or sheepsfoot
roller is the preferable type of compaction equipment.
The soil liner shall be protected from th~ discharge of was t e outlet
pipes. This can be done by u s ing some type of energy dissipator(rocks)
or using flexible outlets on waste pipes.
Alternative s to soil liner s are synthetic liners and benton i te s eal a nt.
When the s e are specified, additional construction specificati o n s are
included with this Construction Specification.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used·
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops
in the fields where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil
tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrient s c an be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value'of the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply
more nitrogen than the crop can utilize .

5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than

The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
w~ste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied.
Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with lSA NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission .

SLUDGE APPLICATION :
The waste utilization plan must contain provi sions for periodic land
application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient
rich and will require precautionary measures to pre vent over application :·· ·
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce .
approximately 1 358 .64 pounds of plant available nitrogen 'per year in the :=
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6793 .2
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds o f nitrogen per acre , you ··
will need 22.644 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 54.3456 acres
of land . Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic y i e lds, and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the i ntake r ate of the
soil at the time o f irrigation such that runoff or pending occurs . This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, so i l structure, soil
texture, water droplet size , and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the available water h olding capacity o f the soil at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen n eeds of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of l and appl ication for this plan ,
it is the respons ibility of the producer and irri gat ion de s igner to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to p roper ly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure t o apply the recommended rates and

A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potentia: dasage caused by wave action. If
\Vave action causes seriou; darr.age to a lagoon sid.;wal !, baffles in· the !agoon may he
used to reduce the wave irnp2C!S. -
Any of these features could lead to erosion end weake.ni~g -si :he ::am . if your l agoon has
any of these features, you s~oulc -=all a:-. appr:)~ria:e ex;:-·e~~ iamiii~r with desigr. and
co;.st~uctior. of was~e lagoons. You may need to proyide a temporary iix ii there:$ a threat
of a \vaste discharge. However, a perrr.ar'lent so1u!ion should be reviewed by tile
technical expert. Any diggi:1g inro a iagoon dam with heavy equipm~nt is a serious
under.aking with potentiaily serious consequences and sh ould not oe cond~.:cted unless
re:commended by an appropriate technical expeit.
Transfer Pumps-check for proper operation of:
1 . recycling pumps
2. irrigation pwmps
Check fer leaks, loosa fittings, and overall pump operation. An u n~su 2l !y loud or grinding
noise, or' a large amount of vibratio:.,· may indicate tha! t he pump is. in :.eed o r rep2ir or
replacement.
NOT!: Pum;>ing systems should be inspected and o;:;e:-atec fiequ~n tl y enoug!-1 >a ~hat you
are not comp!~tely "su;prised" by equipment failure. You should ;:;-=:form your pumping
syste:n rr.air,tenc:nce at 2 time when your lagoon is dt i ts low !eve!. T;,is will allow some
safe!y ~ime s:;c~id maj or repair5 be required. Having a ne2r!y fu l ! iagoon is not the r!:ne
to thir.k about switching, repairing, or borrowing pumps . Prob<Obly, if your lagoon is full,
your neighbor's l2.goon is full also. You shou ld consicer f'-a i ;;~a;r,i;;g c:n inve::tory cf spare
parts or pumps.

. 3. Drainpipes into the lagoon sho'.Jid have a flex ible pipe extender on ~he
end of the pipe to discnarge neEr the bottcr.1 of the lagoon during initie:l
filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining.
4. 'vVhen possible, begin lo<ding new lagoons in the spring to r.iaximize
bact~rial estabiishment (due to warmer weather).
~. It i5 recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a heal thy
working swine lagoon in the a:-nount of 0.25 percent of ~he full l agoon

facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when -··;.-r •. ,. '···l'...
there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict
the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding l e ss than 5 tons
per acre per year. Waste may be applied t o land that is eroding
at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year
providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves
the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disk i ng after
waste application. Waste should not be a p plied when there is
danger of drift from the irrigation fi e ld .
6. When animal waste is to be applied on a c res subj e c t to
flooding, it will be soil incorporated o n conventionally tilled
cropland. When applied to conservati o n tilled crops or
grassland, the waste may be broadcast prov ided t he application
does not occur durin~· a season prone to fl oodi n g. (See "Weather
and Climate in North Carolina" for gui d ance.)
7 . Liquid waste s h all be applied at r a tes no t t o exceed t he soil
infiltration r ate s uch that runoff d o es not o c c ur o f fs i t e or to
surface waters and in a method which does n o t c ause drift from
the site during application. No p e nding s hould occur i n order
to control odor o r flies.
8. Animal wa s te shall n ot be a pplied to saturate d soi l s, during
rainfall events , o r when the sur f ac e is f ro ze n .
