Dir~clo:-
In accordance with your Notification of Change of Ownership received July 14, 2016, we are hereby
forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to J. E. Brice, authorizing the operation of the
subject animal waste management system in accordance with General Permit A WG I 00000.
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 Waycross Farm, located in Sampson County, with a swine animal capacity of no greater
than the following annual averages: ·
Wean to Finish:
Wean to Feeder:
Farrow to Finish :
Feeder to Finish: 5100
Farrow to Wean:
Farrow to Feeder:
Boar/Stud:
Gilts :
Other:
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may be one boar for each 15 sows. Where
boars are unnecessary, 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.
This COC sha ll be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2019, and shall hereby void
Certificate of Coverage Nwnber AWS820642 dated October l, 2014. 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 theCA WMP and this COC and
must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals .
Please read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit carefully. Please pay careful attention to the
record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit. Record keeping forms are unchanged with this
General Pennit. Please continue to use the same record keeping forms.
If your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) has been developed based on site-specific information, careful
evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current WUP is inaccurate
you will need to have a new WUP 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.

DENR -FAYETTEVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE
This letter is being sent in response to a Notice of Deficiency letter issued by your office on the
above mentioned facility owned by Murphy Brown, LLC. This facility was impacted by chronic rainfall
which saturated application fields. These conditions did not allow us to land apply in accordance with
permit conditions for a period of time. Instead of land applying in a manner that would have possibly
caused there to be ponding or runoff, we stored the excess rainfall in our lagoon system. As soon as
the weather and field conditions allowed, land irrigation resumed. The facility was brought back in
compliance per the 30 day plan of action.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to call me at (91 0) 990-6829 or
email me at [e-mail].

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 tha t a11 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 environmenta11y safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the wa ste . Do not apply more nitrogen than the c rop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, teaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at Jess than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen .
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.
5 . Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6 . To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than
30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems .
1 of 11
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 ba se d on typical nutrient content
tor this type of fa cility. 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 require ments for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should 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
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially lat e in t he 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 1836 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 9180 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 30 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 73.44 acres of land. Please note that these
are only estimates ofthe 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 ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil
structure, soil texture, water droplet size. and organic solids. The application amount should not
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the
plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
*This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for >180 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 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

Additional Comments:
This plan revised to show a crop change from a soybean/wheat rotation to a
corn/wheat/soybean rotation. Also, some crop options were added and may
be planted if desired.
The PAN produced was determined using three years of pumping records as
outlined by the NC Cooperative Extension Service guidelines. Producer has
records used (IRR-2's and Waste Analysis) on file for review.
All subfields and leased land are optional. Leased land includes the tracts
Evans and 2378.
NOTE: To account for residual N, deduct 151bs N/ac from the starting PAN
rate of any crop that follows soybeans, unless already accounted for in the

17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to
protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc.,
are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed
and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of
erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19 Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on site.
20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation th at includes vegetables and other crops for direct

consumption, it should only be app li ed pre-plant with no further applications of animal
waste during the crop season .
21 Highly visible markers shall be in stalled to mark the top an d bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lag oons. Pumping shall be
managed to maintain the liquid level between th e markers. A marker will be required to
mark th e m ax imum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually
at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate-determining
nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients,
resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper level s in
the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals
approach e xcess ive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop
production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years.
Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five
years .
23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulation 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 nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at le ss than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulation s .
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the w aste 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 w as te or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.

This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change
methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application
methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. 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.

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should 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
should be 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 faiL
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 1836 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 9180 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 30 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 73.44 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 lime 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.
•This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for >180 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 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

See attached maps for explanation of all the above changes. Acreage from
the original irrigation design is used for land adjacent to the buildings and one
field along the entrance drive. Aerway will be used on remainder of the owned
land and newly leased land.
3 years pumping records were used in developing this NUP. The NC coop.
ext. guidelines were used in determining the 3 year average.
Grower has aiiiRR-2's and waste analysis that were used on file for review.
This newly revised plan also contains the Aerway acres. All fields listed as
Aerway' are optional.
Pull10 has been removed from this NUP. All of the field acreage is listed as
Sub 6.
Deduct 15 lbs. N from any crop following soybeans.
This revision, dated 7/3/2007, done to show the addition of the pulls and
subfield acres for the newly cleared land (both Waycross land and Evans land).
All other parameters remained the same.
Producer also has the option of planting a crop rotation or full season crop on
pull15:
Any crop following soybeans must deduct 15 Lbs from beginning PAN to
account for residual N.

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1 Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff. drift, manmade
conveyances. direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the produ cer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide
evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity,
allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the
owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Utilization Plan
when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of
application, recievinQ crop type, or available land.
3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop
yields based upon soil type, available moisture. historical data, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that res trict the rate of applications for
other nutrients.
4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Was te
may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 ton s
per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where ru noff leaves the field (See
USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393-F ilter Stri ps).
5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after was te application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field .
6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to fl ooding, waste will be soi l
incorporated on conventionally titled cropland. When waste is applie d to conservation ti lle d
crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur
during a season prone to flooding (See ''Weather and Cli mate in North Carolina" for
guidance).
7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that run o ff
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 o rder to contro l odor and flies .
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rai nfall events, or w he n the
surface is frozen.

(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 Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils
with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be
held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients.
Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1,
1995, shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters.
12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
15 Animal wa ste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over-s praying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland
provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist". Animal waste sha ll not be applied on grassed waterways that dis ch a rge
directly into wate r courses, a nd on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic rates in a manne r th a t causes no runoff or drift from the si te.
16 Domestic and indu strial waste from wa shdown fa cilities, showers. toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be disc harg ed into th e animal wa ste m anagement 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 o ther woody species, etc.,
are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed
and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of
erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated , the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19 Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills . A regular maintenance c hecklist should be
kept on site .
20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegeta bles and other c rops for direct
human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on cro ps for direct human
consumption, it should only be applied pre-plant with no further applications of animal
waste during the crop season.

Subject: Sludge Compliance Requirement Change
Dear Permittee:
In accordance with Condition Ill.19 of State General Permit A WG 100000, your facility is
required to maintain compliance regarding sludge accumul;ltion in your animal waste treatment
lagoon(s). As you know, the previous compliance limit was to have a minimum of four (4) feet
of treatment depth between the designed stop pump and the average elevation of the top of the
sludge blanket. This requirement was based on NRCS Standard No. 359, which was recently
modified.
As of July 2008, Standard No. 359 does not use the 4-foot requirement . Sludge compliance is
now to be based on the sludge volume as a percentage of the total treatment volume. The revised
Standard states that sludge accumulation in the permanent treatment zone mu st be less than 50%
of the planned treatment volume. Also, there must be a minimum of2 .5 feet ofliquid above the
sludge at the pump intake location. If either of these conditions is not met then sludge must be
removed or managed in accordance with an approved Plan of Action for Lagoon Sludge
Reduction (POA). A new sludge survey worksheet has been developed to calculate sludge and
treatment volumes to determin e compliance.
Our records indicate that you have filed a Sludge POA for one or more of the lagoons at your
facility. Based on the changes to the sludge requirements in Standard No. 359, your lagoon(s)
may already be in compliance without any sludge removal. Using your lagoon design (or as-
built information) and current sludge survey measurements, complete the NEW sludge survey
worksheet. If you have any difficulty in locating or understanding your lagoon design
information, please contact your technical specialist or county Soil & Water office.

The waste from your animal facility must b e 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 nitrog e n 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 yield s 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 en sure that it is applied in an en vironmentally safe manner:
1. Always appl y waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not appl y more nitrogen than the crop can utilize .
2. Soil types are important a s the y ha ve different infiltration rates , leaching potentials ,
cation exchange capacities , and available water holding capacities.
3 . Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per ye ar providing that adequate filter st rips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining , or when the s urface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations .
5 . Wind conditions should al so be considered to avoid drift and downwind odo r
problems.
6 . To maximize th e value o f th e nutrie nts for crop productio n and to reduce the pote ntial
for polluti o n, the wa ste sho uld b e applie d to a growing crop or applied no t more than
30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Inj e cting the waste or
disking will conserve 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 le vels 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 could
allow additional waste to be applied . Provisions s hall 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 rang e 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 should 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 theN 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
should be 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 1836 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 9180 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 30 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 73.44 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 ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil
structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the lime 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 lo proper1y
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.
*This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for >180 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 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

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.
There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide
evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity,
allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the
owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Utilization Plan
when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of
application. recievin~ crop type, or available land.
Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop
yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for
other nutrients.
Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste
may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 1 0 tons
per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (See
-~uSDA~-NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 -·Filter Strips).
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 land application field.
~
When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil
incorpo~a,ted on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled
crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur
during a season prone to flooding (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for
guidance).
Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than
30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
1 of8
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 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. Ume 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 comp liance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

This plan does not indude commercial fertilizer. The farm should 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 s ix to nine inches . Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
Apnl 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 res ult in reduced y ields 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 eartier. 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 ear1y October. Drilling is
recommended over bro adcasting. 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 1836 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 9180 pounds of plant
available nitrogen Ia utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hay! and at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 30 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to com at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 73.44 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 ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content. soil
structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the
plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
•This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facil ity is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the tempor ary storage must
be removed on the average of once e v ery 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 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equ ipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts o f nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan inval id.
Call your technical spec ialist after you receive the waste analysis report fo r assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste .

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

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
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 Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils
with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be
held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients.
Waste shalt not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1,
1995, shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters.
12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over-spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland
provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge
directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system.

17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to
protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc.,
are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed
and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of
erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19 Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on site.
20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct
human consumption. However. if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption, it should only be applied pre-plant with no further appli cations of animal
waste during the crop season.
21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be
managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to
mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually
at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate-determining
nutrient. unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients,
resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Z inc and copper levels in
the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals
approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop
production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years.
Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five
years.
23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface wa ters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than
30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems .
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. Nubient levels for different application
methods are not the same .
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nubient content
for this type of 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 req uirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should 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
should be 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.

Subject: Rating of Potential Risk
Inactive Waste Lagoons and Storage Ponds
Waycross Farm
Facility Number 82-642
Sampson County
During the 1999 session, the North Carolina General Assembly passed a law directing the North
Carolina Department of Environment of Natural Resources (DENR) to develop an inventory and
ranking of all inactive lagoons and storage ponds in the State. In order to meet this directive, a
representative of DENR has recently evaluated the inactive lagoon(s) and/or storage pond(s) on your
property. Inactive lagoons and storage ponds were defined by the Statute as structures which were
previously used to store animal waste but have not received waste for at least one year.
The information collected on your property is contained in the attached field data sheets. Using
this field data, staff ranked your inactive waste structures as high, medium or low according to its
potential risk for polluting surface and/or groundwater. Your waste structure(s) was ranked as
follows :
Structure Number
1
2
Surface Area (Acres)
0.84
0.81
Ranking
Medium
Medium
This ranking is based in part on the conditions existing on the day of the site visit. Changes in
these conditions or the collection and evaluation of additional data may modify the ranking of your
waste structure(s) in the future.
Information on your facility along with over 1000 others contained in the inventory has been
provided to the General Assembly. During this year's session, the General Assembly will consider
additional requirements for future management of these structures which may include requiring
proper closure of inactive lagoons and storage ponds acco~ding to current or alternative standards.

Regardless of their ranking, owners of all waste lagoons and storage ponds have certain
management responsibilities. These include taking appropriate actions to eliminate current
discharges, prevent future discharges and to insure the stability of their structures. Staff of the
Division of Water Quality w ill be in contact with owners of all inactive structures that have been
determined to pose a serious environmental risk , based on its ranking and/or additional field data
collected by the Department.
All liquids and waste removed from these structures must be land applied at a rate not to exceed
the agronomic needs of the receiving crops . Any major modifications made to the dike walls or
s tructure must be done in accordance with current standards and under the direction of a technical
specialist designated for structural design . Your local Soil and Water Conservation District is an
excellent source for information and guidance related to proper waste application practices, structure
operation and maintenance, and o t her related animal waste management standards and/or
requirements.
Nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility and liability for
any past or future discharges from your lagoon(s) and/or storage pond(s) or for any violations of
surface water or groundwater quality standards.
Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in this process. If you have questions concerning
your inactive structures, please contact the staff of either in the Division of Water Quality or the
Division of Soil and Water Conservation in the Fayetteville Regional Office at (91 0) 486-1541.

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 appl ied 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 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it
is raining , or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to
surface waters which is not allowed under OEM regul ations. 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 typ ical nutrient content for
this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the wa ste 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.

"'This N is from animal waste only. If nutrients from other sources such as commercial fertilizer are
applied, they must be accounted for. N must be based on realistic yield expectation.
NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N
requirements. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in some
eastern counties of North Caroline to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients.
This plan only addresses Nitrogen.

Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage
must be removed on the average of once every § MONTHS. In no instance should the volume
of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation *see lagoon design .
. Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or
Soil and Water Conservation District office 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.
Narrative of operation:
~~~----~~~~~--------~~---------------------Fields are irrigated with a hardhose traveller. All land must be cut for hay.
Acres shown are wetted acres.
When using the 100 lbs. Rate on small grain, grower must strictly adhere to pumping windows
for bermuda as well as small grain. Small grain must be removed from the field by April 7th .
This plan is intended to be a temporary plan, until more land can be acquired for pumping.
The following is the justification for PAN reduction:
The PAN produced was determined using the NC cooperative Extension standards for
determining PAN generated. Grower has copies of a111RR2's and Waste Analysis used to
determine this amount, in his file box. Attached to the NUP is a consolidation of that data. The
number used on Page 2 of this NUP for Total Lbs. PAN/year is 10% higher than the
total PAN generated using the NC Cooperative standards.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1 Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to proper1y 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 1 0 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 irriQation 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 pending 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 winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste
shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking
dormancy.
11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and 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 not to reach other property and public right-of-ways .
15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
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 that discharge directly into water
courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a
manner that courses 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.
Page6
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
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.
18 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.
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 it should only be applied pre plant with no further applications 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 the markers. A marker will be required to
mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
21 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-determin ing
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites
shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five 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.
22 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations .

Dear Quarter M Farms:
Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. NCA282642
Waycross Farm
Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Sampson County
On March 14, 2003, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued an NPDES General
· Pennit ·for · swine facilities. The General Pennit was issued to enable swine facilities in North Carolina to
obtain coverage under a single pennit that addresses both State and Federal requirements.
In accordance with your application received on February 13, 2003, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Quarter M Farms, authorizing the operation of the subject
animal waste collection,· treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with NPDES
General Pe_nnit NCA200000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your COC Number
AWS820642 to operate under State Non-Discharge Permit AWGIOOOOO.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Waycross Farm, located in Sampson County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 5100 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land as specified in
the facility 's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary,
they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows-
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until July 1, 2007. 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 General Pennit. Since this is a new joint State and
Federal general pennit it contains many new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained
in the current State general permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keeping
and monitoring conditions in this pennit. The Devices to Automatically Stop Irrigation Events Form
must be returned to the Division of Water Quality no later than 120 days following receipt of the
Certificate of Coverage. The Animal Facility Annual Certification Form must be completed and returned
to the Division of Water Quality by no later than March 1st of each year.

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
u'nder this pennit 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.
·Per 15A NCAC 2H .0225(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100 foot separation
shaH be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon or any wetted area of a spray fie1d.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C, the Clean Water Act and 40 CFR 122.41 including civil penalties, criminal
penalties, and injunctive relief.
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after t!J.e .. ~xpiration .dat~ ~f.~e
General Pennit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual NPDES Permit by contacting the staff member listed below for information on
this process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this.COC shall be final and binding.

(Design Capacity)
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 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils , when it
is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to
surface wa ters which is not allowed under OEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be
considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems . To ma ximize the value of nutrie nts 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 o n 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 analys is.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets th~ requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Narrative of operation:
~~~------------------~----~~---------------------Fields are irrigated with a hardhose traveller. All land must be cut for hay.
Acres shown are wetted acres.
Fields 1 c, 1 D are irrigated under an agreement with an adjacent land owner.
These fields should be kept in a corn/wheaUsoybean rotation.
Field 2 is optional and does not have to be used, but may be if desired.
The following is the justification for PAN reduction:
The PAN produced was determined using the NC cooperative Extension standards for
determining PAN generated. Grower has copies of aiiiRR2's and Waste Analysis used to
determine this amount, in his file box. Attached to the NUP is a consolidation of that data. The
number used on Page 2 of this NUP for Total Lbs. PAN/year is more than 14% higher than the
total PAN generated using the NC Cooperative standards.

CA WMP Plan Amendment
Waycross Farm
Sampson County
11/1/2002
This document is intended to serve as a CA WMP Amendment for the farm above for the
Fall/Winter of 2002-2003 only.
In the current CA WMP for this facility, the producer is required to plant a Com , Wheat, and
Soybean rotation in fields l C& 1 D (Leased Land). In this rotation, wheat wa s required to be
planted for the Fall and Winter of 2002-2003. After reviewing the current lagoon levels on the
fann , and taking these into consideration , I feel that the producer may choose not to plant wheat
in those 2 fields during this season only . The producer should have no need to irrigate on these
fields until the beginning of the com or soybean application window in April and/or May.
This amendment is for the above stated purpose only. All other requirements of the original
CA WMP should be followed during the time this amendment is valid and afterwards.

(Design Capacity)
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 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it
is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to
surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be
considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of 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 e stimated 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.

NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N
requirements. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in some
eastern counties of North Caroline to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients.
This plan only addresses Nitrogen.

LAGOON CLOSURE PLAN
WAYCROSS FARM
SAMPSON COUNTY
6/9/98
The Waycross Fann is a 5100 hd. finishing farm owned by Murphy Family Farms.
It is located on Waycross Rd. in Sampson County. A new lagoon was recently built on
this farm, and the existing lagoons abandoned due to lack of storage volume. The existing
lagoons will require some degree of sludge removal before it can be properly closed out.
The existing lagoons were pumped down to the sludge level to pre...charge the new
lagoon, and all inlets for rainwater were closed. This gives the existing lagoon in excess of
365 days storage. The plan is to close these old lagoons by September of 1998. A site
visit on 6/l/98 verified that adequate storage is available to meet this time frame. Specific
crop fields for sludge application have been identified and the closure will proceed as they
become available. All NRCS recomendations regarding lagoon closures will be followed
and DEM · be otified when the clomu-e process begins.

(Design Capacity)
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surf.lce and/or groun~water. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should
be used to reduce the amount ofcommercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields
. wher-e the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses n.it:roge:J. as the limiting
nurri~t. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soii te~...s are
Strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for reilisric yie!d.s of the
c:-op to be ~own.
Several factors are important in implementing your waSte utilization plan in orderto
max:imize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an
e:::rvironmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the .needs of the crop to be
~o~n and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitroge:1. than the crop
can utilize. Soil types are important as they have differ-ent infiltration rates, le2chm~
pote::n::ials, cation exchange capacities, and available water-holding capacities. Normally
wa~e shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre perye3!. With
special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per
year. Do not apply waste on. saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is
froze:L Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters \14mch is not
allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift
and do~nwind 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 g:ro~fug crop or
applied to bare ground nor more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or
disking Mil conserve nutrie:!ts and reduce odor problems.
Tne eStimated acres needed to apply th~ anjmal waste is based on typicalnutri~t content
for this type of facility. Ac-::eage requirements should be based on the waste analysis
report from your waste manae:ement facilitv. Attached vou will .find information on
proper sampling techniques, preparation, ~d transfer of waste samples to the lab for
m~~ .
Tnis wasre ut:il.i.zatibn plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A
NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

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.

System Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation
conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates
change over time ~s equipment gets older and components wear. In particular,
pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use,
nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the
discharge rate while decreasing the wened diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the
design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the
application uniformit'{. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the
sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged
intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating
below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity.
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every
three years is recommended. Calibration involves colleGting and measuring fiow at
several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can b: used to
collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because
they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application c:mount
without having to perform additional calculations . However, pans, plastic buckets,
jars, or an~hing with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided
the liqf:Jid collected can be easiiy transferred to a scaled container for mecsuring.
For stationa:y sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly
throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling
guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction
of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet aoart alona the transect or. both
sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average~ application rate for all
nonuniformiry of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers
of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your .irrigation
dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLA.N'
Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially
important to rr.anage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and
wet periods.
lv.f.aximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the
receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are
extended m'ly spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. 'This means
.that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation accorrling-to
a fann waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to
rerrive lagoon liquid . This will make smr.1ge space available in the lagoon for future wet
periods. In the 1are summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
marker (s...-Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to
mai.niain. the lagoon close to the minimum liouid level as -long as the weather and waste
utilization plan will allow it. •
Waiting until the lagoon has reached irs maximum stor.1ge a.paciry before starting to
irrigate does not leave room for stor.u"lg excess water during extended wet periods.
Overflow from the lagoon for any r!aSon except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a vioWion of
state law and subj~t to penalty action.
The routine maime."1ance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maim:nance of a ve~~:ative cover-for the dzm.
Fescue or common b-e.:muda~s are the most common veE:etarive
covers. Tne vege:ation should be fe::Tiiiz"".d eac~ ye2.r, if·n~ed, to
maint.?in a vigorous s~1d. The amount of fe:-tii1z .. : applied should be
based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not uractical to obtain
a soils test each year, t.i.e lagoon emban.L-nent a.-"ld.surround.ing ar>..2.S
should be fe.li.li.zed wi.t.i. 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or
equivG.lent.
3rush and trees on the e::nba...l'lkment must be con :rolled. This may be
done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of
these 'Oractic.es. Tnis should be done at least once a vear and
possibly twice in y~-s that weather-conditions are ;:vorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE: If vegerat:ion is controlled bv sur.1vin(7 the herbicide must not be allowed to ent::r
the ·lagoon ·wc.te:. Such chemicals rould harm~ the bacte...1a in the la~oon that are treating
ilie~. -
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of
the lagoon and at least monthly and a.:.-=te: major rainfall and storm events. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following :
Waste Inlet Pipes, R~yciing Pipes, and Overrlow Pipes-look for:
1. ~epara.tion of joints
~-C:Lacks or breaks
-'· accumulation of salts or mine:al..s
~ overall condition of pipes
Lagoon surface-look for:
1 . undesirable veger2tive growth
1. floating or lodged debris
Emba!'lkment-look for:
L _ settlement, crac.k:ing, or .. jug" holes
2. side slope stability-slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to Ener damage due to wave action caused by str:ong
winds. Tnese waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good s!and of vegetation will reduce the potenri.al damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, bafr1es in the .lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these fearures could lead to erosion and weake:ring of the dam~ If your lagoon hzs
any of these fearures, you should call a.T'l appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary -fix if there is a threat
of a waste dis:;harge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical ~n. Any diggi.ng i:1to a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially se:ious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended bv a.T'l aoorooriate ~hnica! e~:-L.. ., .. . . ..
Transfer Pumps--:~eck for prope:r ope:ation of:
l. re=yc ling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for lp:-1.:-s, loose fittings , ~1d ove:-dl pump ope..-ation. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a 12rge a.-nount of vibrc.don, m.ay indicate that the pump is i:"'l need or repair or
replace:n~:_
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and ope:ated fre-quently enough so that yoa
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform yourpumping
system maii!te:Ja.nce at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. Tnis will allow some
safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nezly full .lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repaif.u1g , or borrowing pumus. Probably, if your lagoon is full,
your neighbor•s lagoon is full also . You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
Par:ts or pumps.
Suiface water dive:sion features are designed to carry all surface
d..-ainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof <L.~age, gutter outlets,
and parking lot runofr) away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment or storage strucrures. The only water that should be
coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing
(v.-ashing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
_ 1. adequate vegetation
· 2. dive::-sion e2.pacity
3. ridge benn height
Identified problems should be co~re.d promptly. It is advisable to inspect your syst:m
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is n~ to
determine prope!" solutions, consult with appropriar-expe.-LS.
Yo.u should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and th:::I
record the Ievcl again 4 tO 6 hours~ the rain (assumes there .is no pumping). This will
give you a.n idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a cemtin rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your raiiL.~ for this to work). Knowing this should he!D in
planning irrigation applications and s-l.Orage. If your lagoon rises exc:ssivcly, you miy
have an inflow problem from a ~ wa.re.r d.ive..-sion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding lmd..
I..agoon Ope..."4ltion
Startap:
1. Immediately after con.muction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil

2. Fill new lagoon design t:reannent volume at least half full of wat::-b~or=

Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon faiiures result in the UIIplanned discharge of wasr.e:war.er from the srrucrure.. Types
of :f:ai1ures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the
dam • .Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring stnlC1liie safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification of the lagoon structUre-an example is the p.lacemc:1t of a pipe
in the dam without proper design and constroetion. (Consult an e:pctt in
lagoon design before piacing any pipes in dams.)
Lagoon liquid levels-high levels.are a safety risk.
Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
Excess ~ war::r flowing into the lagoon.
Liner integrity-protect from inlet" pipe scouring, damage during sludge
removal , or rupture from 'lowering lagoon liauid level below groundw.m:r-
table . -
NOll::.: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving war.e:-will soon cause
gullies to form in tile dam. Once this damage sta.L-ts, it can quickly. cause a large ciis6axge

COMMENTS: The lagoon has been designed as an irregular shape.
Actual contour areas taken from the lagoon design are used to calculate
the surface area and storage volume characteristics of the lagoon.
This approach insures that rainfall capture on the lagoon is tully
accounted for and that storage volumes calculated represent actual
conditions .regardless of the shape.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
FOUNDATION PREPARATION :
The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be cleared of
trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush , boulders, sod, and rubbish. Satisfactory disposition
will be made of all debris. The topsoil from the lagoon and pad area should be stripped
and stockpiled for use on the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area
of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior to placing
the first lift of fill material to get a good bond.
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT
The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations
shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen
soil, stones over 6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent they
are suitable, excavated material may be used as fill . The fill shall be brought up in
approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness when loose and prior
to compaction. Each layer will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and
• spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or equivalent method. Compaction will
be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that
settlement is not readily detectable. NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR
PLACEMENT OF UNERS IN THE UNER SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. ·
The embankment of the lagoon 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 with an impoundment capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall
under the jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law and require permitting by the NC Dept of
Environment, Health and Natural Resources, Land Quality Section. The height is defined
as the difference in elevation from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike.
Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and
sedimentation.
LINER:
THE MINIMUM REQUIRED CLAY LINER THICKNESS SHALL BE 0.0 FT .
NQTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN INDICATED ON THE
DRAWINGS OR WHEN MATERIAL IS ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION THAT
WILL NOT PROVIDE THE PERMEABILITY LIMITS AS STATED LATER IN THIS SECTION .
SUCH MATERIAL IS CONSIDERED UNSUITABLE WITH RESPECT TO LINING. A TYPICAL
CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DRAWINGS WHEN UNERS
ARE REQUIRED.

When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be overexcavated below
finish grade to the specified depth as measured perpa1dicular to the finish grade. The
foundation shall be backfilled as specified to grade with a material approved by the
engineer or his representative.
REFER TO THE DRAWINGS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS.
Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The minimum moisture
content of the liner materiaJ shall be optimum moisture content which relates to that
moisture content when the soil is kneaded in the hand it will form a baJI which does not
readily separate. Water shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture
content during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner material shall not
be less than optimum moisture content during placement The maximum moisture
content relates to the soil materiaJ being too wet for efficient use of hauling equipment and
proper compaction. Proper compactipn of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and
compacted to at least 95 percent of the Standard Proctor Maximum Dry Density
(ASTM 0698) 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 permeability 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 in an established pattern helps
assure uniformity in the entire placement and compaction process. For most clay soils, a
tamping or sheepsfoot roller is the preferred type of compaction equipment.
In accordance with NAGS South National Technical Center (SNTC) Technical Note 716
{revised September 1993) the maximum allowable specific discharge of the liner is
1 .0 x 1 o-.s em/sec. This specific discharge is dependant on the permeability of the
liner material, the liner thickness, and the hydrostatic pressure on the liner. With the
minimum required liner thickness stated earlier and the maximum liquid depth in the
lagoon, the maximum permeability of the compacted liner is 1.25 x 1 o-6 em/sec. Upon
completion of the liner, undisturbed samples will be taken and tested for actual
permeability. Any permeability tests indicating a higher permeability than stated above
will be considered as failing. Failing tests will require recompaction of the liner material
and retesting .
For lagoons being built in soils which do not require clay lining the same permeability
requirements apply as for clay liners and testing of the in-situ material will be conducted.
During the excavation process, soils at the excavated surface are loosened as adjacent
material is being removed . As a result, the permeability of these surface soils is increased.
To insure proper compaction and minimum soil permeability, when lagoon excavation is
complete the inner side slopes and bottom shall be rolled thoroughly prior to testing.

The soil liner shall be protected from scour produced by the discharge from waste outlet
pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipater: concrete flumes,
concrete blocks laid tightly together, or using flexible pipe 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 or are shown on the drawings.
CUTOFF TRENCH:
A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when called for in the
notes on the drawings or as shown on a typical cross section on the drawings. The final
dimensions of the cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation
materials during construction.
VEGETATION:
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the
planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction according to the
seeding specifications. Topsoil, if available on site should be placed on areas of the dike
and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch shall be used if recommended
permanent vegetation is out of season dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should
be established as soon as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates.
REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS:
An observation trench shall be dug along the perimeter of the lagoon 25 feet outside the
proposed embankment toe to verify that no subsurtace drain tile lines are present in the
lagoon area. The trench shall be dug to a minimum depth of fiVe feet and shall have a width
adequate to accommodate equipment used for backfill and compaction. Trench side
slopes shall be 1:1 or flatter. Trench backfill shall be compacted as stated in the
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT section of the specification.
When tile drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum of 25 feet beyond
the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile trench shall be backfilled and compacted with
material approved by the engineer or his representative. Tile drains that are removed
shall be either capped off or rerouted around the lagoon, as directed by the engineer or
his representative.
SAFETY AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS:
All operations shall be carried out in a safe, skillful, and workmanlike manner. All safety and
health regulations shall be observed and appropriate personal safety and health measures
used at all times during construction.

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

3. Begin temporary storage pump-out of the lagoon when the fluid level reaches the
elevation 102.80 as marked by the staff gauge. Stop pump-out when the fluid level
reaches elevation 100.50. This temporary storage, less 25 year I 24 hour storm,
contains 275719 cubic feet or 20623n gallons.
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the
recommended maximum application rate is 0 .3 inches per hour. Refer to the waste
utilization plan for further details.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed
annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded or damaged areas and establish in vegetation.
;;:·
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets.
8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization
fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches.
Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall
• be applied in a manner such that waste will not reach other property and public
rights-of-way.
9. The Clean Water Act of 19n prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters
of the United States. Waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by either discharge or by over-spraying . The Department of Environment,
Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Management,
has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

Emergency Action Plan
Using this outline as guidance, you should develop a specific emergency action plan for your ...
waste handling system.. This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your
operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off the site. You should NOT wait until wastes
reach surface water or leave your property to consider that you have a problem . You should
make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be available to all
employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks could happen at any time. Your
plan should follow this format:
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be
possible. Suggested responses to problems are listed below:
A. Lagoon overflow-possible solutions are:
add soil to berm to temporarily increase elevation of dam-any permanent
alteration of the dam should be approved by a qualified professional engineer
or qualified technical specialist
pump wastes to field at an acceptable rate
stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waters)--hold waste in house if possible
call a pumping contractor
make sure no surface water is entering lagoon
NOTE: The above listed activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded
the temporary storage level.
B. Runoff from waste application field-actions include:
immediately stop waste application
create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field
incorporate waste to reduce further runoff
C. Leakage from the waste distribution system :
pipes and sprinklers-actions include:
stop recycle (flushing system) pump
stop irrigation pump
close valves to eliminate further discharge
separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
flush system, houses, solids separators-actions include:
stop recycle (flushing system) pump
stop irrigation pump
make sure no siphon effect has been created
separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
D. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often these are se9Page as opposed to
flowing leaks-possible action*: ·
dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible
pump, and pump back into lagoon
if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and
fill holes and compact with a clayey soil
other holes may be likewise temporarily pluqqed with clay soil
