Dear Quarter M Farms;
Subject: Rating of Potential Risk
Inactive Waste Lagoons and Storage Ponds
M&M I Rivenbark Farm
Facility Number 82-643
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. fu 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
Surface Area (Acres)
1.23
Ranking
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 I 000 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 according to current or alternative standards.

Rating of Potential Risk
Inactive Waste Lagoons and Storage Ponds
Animal Waste Management System
Page 2
Regardless of their ranking , owners of aJI 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 will 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
structure 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 other 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 [phone].

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 82-643
Sampson County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and indusuial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRRI, IRR2, DRYl, DRY2, DRY3, SLURl, SLUR2,
SLDl, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ}
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting aH sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or pennitting
requirement
H you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the

DMSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
November 7, 1995
.. Dear Mr. Peterson:
I would J.ike to extend my thanks for allowing me to visit your farm on November 3,
1995. The existing lagoons appeared to in good condition and it has been noted that you no
longer have any swine livestock present at your facility. This should allow for your removal
from the registered farm list. ·
However, you indicated that your father is planning to expand the facility in order to
grow hogs for Dogwood Farms. Therefore, I feel I must request that you infonn your father
of the new regulations enacted as of October 1, 1995, regarding new or expanded swine
facilities. These regulations are as follows:
a) A swine house or lagoon which is a component of a swine farm shall be located at leaSt:
1)
2)
l)
1,500 feet from any occupied residence (excluding the farmers)
2,500 feet from any school, hospital, or church
100 feet from any property boundary ..
· b) The outer perimeter of land onto which waste is applied from a swine farm shall be at
least:
1) ISO feet from any residential property boundary

(Design Capacity)
T.ne waste from your animal .facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or groun(!water. The plant nuttients in the animal waste should
be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields
. where the waste is to be applied. This waste ut:iliz.ati.on plan uses nitrogen as the ljmiring
nutrie:rt. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are
scron~iy encouraged so th.at all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic :i.elds of the
crop to be grown.
Seve.:al factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to
ma:x:imize the ferolizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in m
e.:rvironme::ually safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
~o...,..n and the nuoienr content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop
can utilize. Soil types are important as they have diife:rent in:.filtration rates, le:tc:hlng
pote:uials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally
wa~e shall not be applied m land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. WIIh
special precautions, wasre may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons pe: acre per
year. Do not apply waSte on saturated soils , when it is raining, or when the s-.rrilce is
froze:1.. 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 xn.axllnize the value of nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a grov.ing crop or
applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or
disking v.rill conserve nutrie:ltS and reduce odor problems.
The esti.rruated 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 vviJl find information on
proper sampling techniques, preparatio~ ·and trans fer of waSte samples to the lab for
analysis. ·
Tnis waste ur::iliz.:ltion plan., if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A
NCAC 2 H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

REQUIRED SPECmCATIONS
L Animal waste shall not reach surlace waters of the State by nmofr: drift, lllalliilade
conveyances, dll-ect application. or direct discharge during operation or land
application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. There nmst be documentation in the design folder that the producer either O'WllS 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 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 o'WJler of the .&cility to secore an update of the Waste UriJjz;.rrian
Plan when there is a change in_.the operation, increase in the number of animals,
method of utilization, or availible land.
3. A njma I 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,
anci level of ma.nage.me:J.t, unless there are regulations that restric: the rate of
application for othe:::-nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per yw.
Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons
per-acre per year pro,.i.ding grass filter strips are ~alled where nmoifle:rves the field.
(See FOTG Standard 393 ·Filter Strip).
5. Odors can be reriuc:d by injecting the waste or djsking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. \Vhen animal w~e is to be applied on acres subjec-t to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. \Vhen applied to conservation tilled
crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not
oc;::ur during a season prone to flooding . (See 'W eath.er and Climate in North
C:uolina" for guidance .)
7. Liauid waste shall be aoolied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
~off does not oc:ur ~frsne or to surface waters and in a method which does not
cause drift from the site during application. No pondi:ng should occur in orderto
control· odor or flies .
8 . Ani m al waste shall not be applied to sarurated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
s-...u-f.l c e is frozen.

REQU1RED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a maDl1er that the
crop is not covered 'r'l'ith waste to a depth that would inhloit growth.. The potemial 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 nunie:nt loa ding rates on these soils should
be held to a minirnnm and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released
nutrients. Waste shaD. not be applied more than 3 0 days prior to planting of the crop
or forages breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited o~ or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the
following: The outer perimeter of the land area omo which waste is applied from a
las:oon that is a conmonent of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from mv reside:rtial -. .
properry boundary and from any perennial stream or riv·er (other than an irrigation
ditch or canal Animal wasre other than sv..ine waste from facilities sited on or after
O~ober l, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 f e et to perennial v.;rr:m. (S~
Standard 393 -Filte:-Strips).
12 .. t!!. nimai waste shall not be applied closer than l 00 fee: t o wells.
13 .• .j. nimal waste shall no t be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other th.an those
ov.rned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied. in a manner not to reach othe r property and public right-of:
ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands
by a discharge or by over-spraying. Animal waste m y be applied to prior converted
w etlands provided the y have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that ~harge
directly into wat er courses, and on other grassed w aterways, waste shall be applied at

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 wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the
design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the
application uniformitY. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater potential fur drift, and accelerates wear of the
sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged
intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating
below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformitY.
,-:·
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every
three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at
several loca'lions in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to
collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because
they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount
without having to perform additional calculations . However, pans, plasri c buckets,
jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided
the liql:Jid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for me2suring.
For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly
throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling
guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction
of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both
sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate tor all
non uniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers
of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation
dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid managemen t should be a year-round priority. It is especially
important ro manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and
wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the
receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for berrnudagrass) or when there are
extended rainy spells such as the thunderstonn season in the summertime. Tills means
.that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according-to
a fann waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to
receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for furure wet
periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effon should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as -long as the weather and waste
utili.zation plan will allow it
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to
iirigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. _
Overflow from the lagoon for any reason ~cept a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of
state law and subject to penalty action. ...
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of 2. vegetative cove: for the dam .
rescue or common b-ermudagrass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vege:ation should be fe.rtiJiz.o..d each year, if·needed, to
maintain a vigorous sr.and. The amount of fe:::tili.zer applied should be
based on a soils test. but in the event that it is not practical to obtain
a soils rest each year, the lagoon embankment and-surrounding areas
should be fertilized \l..i.th 800 pounds pe:-acre of 10-10-10, or
equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled . This may be
done by mowing , spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices. This should be done at least once a year and
possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE: IT vegetation is controlled by spraying, the he:bicide must not be allowed to enter
the lagoon ware:. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating
the waste.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of
the lagoon and at least monthly and after ma1or rainfall and storm events. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the tollowing:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overr1ow Pipes-look for:
1. . separation ofjoinrs
2 . · cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4 . overall condition of pipes
Lagoon surface-look for:
1. undesirable vegetative gro·wth
2 . floating or lodged debris
Embankment-look for:
1. . settlement, craclcing, or "jug'' holes
2. side slope stability-slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4 . erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5 . rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baft1es in the .lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam: If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary .fix if there is a threat
of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical ~ Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potenriall y serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
T.ramfer Pumps-check for proper ope:ation of:
1. recycling pumps
2. inigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and ove..a.l.l pump operation. An unusually loud or gzinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or
replacement.
NOTE: P.Jmping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you
are not completely usurprised" by equipment failure. You should perform yourpumping
system maintenance at a rime when your lagoon is at its low level. Tnis will allow some
safety time should major repairs be required.· Having a nearly full lagoon is not. the time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets ,
and parking lot runofr) away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be
coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
1. adequate vegetation
· 2. diversion capacity
3. ridge benn height
Identified problems should be corrected prompt! y. It is advisable to inspect your syStem
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical .assist3nce is needed to
detc:mine proper solutions, consult with appropriate ape:·ts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level ~oain 4 to 6 hours afu!r the :rain (assumes there is no pumping). Tlris will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must a1so be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a suria.ce water dive::sion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Opention
Startup:
1. Immeriiately afte: construction establish a complete sod cover on bare son.
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design t:reatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into t.1e lagoon should have a flexible pipe extend:: on the
end of the pipe to c:i.ischarge near the bottom of the lagoon ciur.a.ng initi.al
filling or anoth:: me:ms of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining.
4.-Wne..'l possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to ~
bacterJ2.1 es-~lishm~t (due to warme:-weathe:).
5. It is recomme.'lderi tilat a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a he:althy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 pe:cent of the fulllz:,aoon
liquid volume . Tnis se:d.ing should oc::our at l:::ast two weeks prior ro the
addition of -w-as~'.llat=".
6. Maintain a periocii: check on the lagoon liquid pE. If the pH fulls below
7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of
lagoon liquid voiume WI til the pH rises above 7. 0. Optimum lagoon .li.qliid
pH is betWeen 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate
biological activitv . Consultation with a technical sre:ialist is recommencied
if these conditions oc::ur for prolonged pe.~od.s , esPeciallY during the v.cmn
season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularlv that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the be~the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times dai~y are
optimum for treatment. Pit recharge svstems, in which one or more buildings are dr.illled.
and recharged each day, also work well .
Practice water conservation-minimize building war.er usage and
spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and v.-ashdown through
proper maintenance and water conservation.
Minimize feed wasrage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This
will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon
Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and
the full temporary S"'4Drage leveL
Pl.a.ce visible marke:'s or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid levd and the maximum liquid. lever (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating a! the earliest possible date in the spring based on
nutrient requireme:lts and soil moisture so that ·temporary storage
will be maximiz.::d for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly,
irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winre:. ;;:
The lagoon liquid level should never be close:-than 1 foot to the iowest
point of the dam or embankment.
Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lowe:-· that the permanent stor2::,cre
level unless you are removing sludge. .
Locate float pump inta.k:s approximately 18 inches underneath the liqcid
su.-f2.ce and as far aw'2.y from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Preve:lt additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage orvege::ari.on,
molded feed, plastic s_yringes, or other foreign m<neriais into the ia:.OOOIL
Frequently remove solids from catch basins at e::1d of confinement houses ar
wherever they are in.mlled.
Maintain strict vege:ation, rodent, and va...-mint control near lagoon edges.
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or c:mbankm~t
Remove sludge from the lagoon eithe:-when the sludge storage capacity is
full or before it fills 50 perc....""'lt of the permane..~t srorage volume.
If animal production is to be terminated? the own~ is responsible for
obtaining and imple!neming a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a.
pollutant discharge.
Sludge.Removal:
Rate oflagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:
'•
proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids s..-na.-arion of flushed waste.
gravity settling of fltishea waste solids in an appropriately designed basin. or
minimizing feed was.age and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients.
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Remov:al ~hniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper-agitator impeller
pump through large-bore sprinkler irrigation system onto neari:Jy cropland;
and soil incorporate.
·.:
Dewater the upper pan of iagoon by irrigation omo nearby cropland or
forageland; mix re:ntining sludge; pump into liquid sludge appiiC::llOr; hanl
and spread omo cropiand or forageland; and soii incorporate.
Dewate::-the uppe: pzn of lagoon by L.~gation onto nearby cropland or
fo:rageland; dredge sludge from lagoon 'Nith d:-=i;ne or sludge ba!5e; be:m
an ar~ beside lagoon to re"cive the sludge so tilzr liquids C2Il d..."'2in bad:
into lagoon; allow siudge to dewater; haul and spread with manur: spreacie:r
onto cropland or foragela.nd; and soil incorpo~te.
Regardless of the method, you mus: have the sludge material analyzed for ~.e
constiWe:1ts just as you would your lagoon water. Tne sludge -will contain ciiffe~t
nutrient and me~ values from the liauid. Tne aoolication of the sludge to fields ~ill be
limited bv these nutrients as well as inv previous Waste aoolicarions to that field and c::uo
requiremf::It. Waste application :ra.~ Will be discussed in-ae'Llii in Chapter 3. •
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or dzag-line ope:ator will e..'1sure that the lagoon liner re:nains
intact.. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
stop the ac::::ivity immediately and not resume until you are sure thar the sludge can be
removed wit.~out liner injury. If the liner is damaged. it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much highe:-nhosuhorus 2!ld .heavy metal ~nt:::lt
than liquid. Be::ause of this it should probably be ap"plied to land 'Nith low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated bv a soil ~t, and i•1coroorated to reduce the chance of
erosion_ Note that if the sludge is applied to fields w1th very high soil-rest phosphon:s.. it
should. be applied only at rar.es equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with oth~
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nurrie.."1t value.
The application of sludge will incr:!2Se the amount of odor at t.,e waste applic:arion si~
Extra prec;mtion should be used to obse...-ve the wind direc::ion and other conditions which
could inc ... :--"se the conce:n of neighbors.
Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon :fAilures 1'CSU1t in the unplanned discharge of wasr.eware.r from the structtire.. Types
of .failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overo;,pping, and breach of the
dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring strucrure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification of the lagoon structure-an example is the placement of a pipe
in the dam without proper design and construCtion. (Consultan expert in
lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.)
Lagoon liquid levels-high levels.are.a safety risk..
Failure to inspect and mamt4in the dam.
Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
Liner integrity-protect from inlet" pipe scouring, damage during sludge
removal, or rupmre from4owering lagoon liquid level below groundwater
table.
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly. cause a large discharge
of waste?late!' and possible dam failure.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR ..CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TRE__AIMENI 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. The contractor shall be
responsible for the disposition of all debris to the satisfaction of the owner. 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 matenilt 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 shall be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and
spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or equivalent method. Compaction shall
be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that
settlement is not readily detectable. NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR
PLA.CEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION.
The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials from
the required 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.

When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they shall be overexcavated below
finish grade to the specified depth as measured perpendicular to the finish grade. The
foundation shall be backfilled as specified to grade with a material approved by the
owner.
REFER TO THE DRAWINGS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS.
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 shall 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 shall
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 subsurface drain tile Jines 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

.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 stonn for the location,
(5) and, if applicable, an additional "heavy rain" storage volume for chronic rainfall
events. Allocation for any additional fresh water usage is also included in the
temporary storage. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals
will be fairly constant throughout the._ year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year.
The 25 year rainfall will not be a faclor 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 . ?recharging 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 109.70 as marked by the staff gauge. Stop pump-out when the fluid level
reaches elevation 106.30. This temporary storage, less 25 year /24 hour storm,
contains 408512 cubic feet or 3055671 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 1 00 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.

J:merg~ Action Plan
DATE : 07/18/97
SHEET 1 OF 2
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 benn to temp_orarily 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 seepage 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 tefl'}porarily_plugged with clay soil
