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 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.

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 applicaUon
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 canied 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 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 1680 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 8400 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 28 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 67.2 acres of land. Please note that these
are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values
may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application
Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific
application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION:
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation
such that runoff or pending occurs . This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil
structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the
plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
*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
applic ation 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.

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, reel s, 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 applications 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 vol ume) 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 tes ted 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 ba sed on other nutrients,
resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in
the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals
approach excessive level s. pH sh all be adjusted and maintained fo r optimum crop
production. Soil and waste ana lysis records s hall be kept for a minimum of five years.
Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years.

Farm #31
Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Sampson County
On June 11, 2004, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued a revised State General
Pennit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill
733 (Session Law 2003-28).
In accordance with your application received on February 13, 2003 and in accordance with the directive
of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to
Brown's of Carolina, Inc., authorizing the operation of the subject animal w~te collection, treatment,
storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit A WG 100000. The issuance of
this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number A WS82064 7 which expires October 1,
2004.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Farm #31, located in Sampson County, with an animal capacity of no greater
than an annual average of 2000 Farrow to Wean swine and the application to land as specified in the
facility's Certified Animal Waste Managem e nt Plan (CA WMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to
Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may
be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4
gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009. 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 nutnber of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Since this is a revised State
General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the
previ ous 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 permit.

If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules , standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey a~y property rights in either real or personal property.
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documen!ation 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
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
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 including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.
· If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the
General Permit, 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

SUBJECT: Notice of Violation
Browns of Carolina Farm #31

Permit No. A WS 82064 7
Sampson County
Dear Mr. Brown:
You are hereby notified that, having been pennitted to have a ·non-
discharge permit for the subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A
NCAC 2H. 02 1 7, you have been found to be in violation of your 2H. 021 7 Pennit.
On January 28, 1999, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ), perfonned a foJiow-up inspection of the waste
storage structure (lagoon) at the Browns of Carolina Farm #31 facility in Sampson
County. During this follow-up inspection, it was noted that the lagoon had risen
to within the required structural freeboard (within 12 inches of overtopping). Due
to potential structural failure and the release of waste to the waters of the State,
this office considers such high lagoon levels a danger to the environment . The
Permittee was informed that DWQ had not been notified as required by the
General Permit Condition III.6.e, which states that "the Permittee shall report by
telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case
more than 24 hours following first knowledge ofthe occurrence of any ofthe
following events: e. Failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagon/storage pond
greater than or equal to that required in Condition V(3) of this General Permit".
The freeboard in the lagoon was twelve (12) inches at the time ofthe
investigation . There was a good cover crop on some of the fields at this site as
required in the CA WMP for waste application .

15A NCAC 2H .0217, you have been found to be in violation ofyour 2H
.0217 Permit.
On January 22, 1998, staff from the Fayetteveille Regional office were
at the Brown's of Carolina Farm #31 to talk to Mr. Howard Wdson. After
talking with Mr. Wilson, regional staff inspected the application field which
had just received irrigation. Upon inspecting the application field , waste was
observed running off the field and into a ditch adjacent to the field. The ditch
is the headwaters of an unnamed tributary to Mulatto Branch which flows into
the Big Swamp. At the time the discharge was observed, samples were
collected. Mr. Wilson was notified of the discharge and the samples were
taken to Microbac Lab, Inc in Fayetteville, N.C. The freeboard level of the
lagoon was 21" which indicates that this was not an emergency irrigation due
to heavy rains.
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following item(s) be
addressed:
I. l~gation should be performed in a manner so as not to allow run-off
from the application fields .

This letter is in responSe to your letter of June 3, 1998, Notice of
Recommendation for Enforcement, Brown's of Carolina, Farm 31, Facility No. 82-647,
Sampson County.
The details of this incident I think were quite clear and the tenant, Mr. Howard
obviously had no valid reason for allowing water to be discharged into surface waters of
the state.
We realize that the responsibility for this farm ultimately lies with Brown's of
Carolina, regardless of what type of rental agreements, pumping agreements, or other
business arrangements we may have with another party.
However, as you review this case, I ask you to consider that the events of this day
were not within the immediate control ofBrown's of Carolina. If you desire, I can supply
you with a copy of the rental agreement.
Furthermore, please note that as of June 24, 1998, Brown1s of Carolina will be
taking back over the management of the lagoon and spray irrigation on this farm.
Again, your careful review and any help in this matter would be most appreciated
by my company.

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 an i mal 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 shou ld be analyzed
before each application cycle . Annual soil tests are strongly encou raged 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 utilizati on plan i n order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally saf e 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 th e crop ca n ut ilize .
2. Soil types are important as they have different infilt ration rates , lea chi ng potentials, •
cation exchange capacities , and available water holding capacit ies .
3. Normally wasta shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 to ns per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more to ns per ac re annually , but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing tha t adequate filter strip s are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils , when it is ra inin g, or when t he surface is frozen .
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface water s w hich is not allowed
under DWQ regulat ions .
Page : 1
5. Wir.d conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than
30 days prior to planting a crop' or forages breaking dormancy . Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems .
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change
methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different applicat ion
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 flexi ble so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type . Lime must
be applied to maintain pH in the optirl)um range for specific crop produ ction .
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for c omp liance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission .
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR ( gallons, ft3, tons, etc.):
2000 animals X 3212 gal/animal/yea r = 6,424 ,000 gallons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (lbs):
2000 animals X 5.40 lbs/animal/year = 10,800.00 lbs
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. Y ou shoul d pl a n tim e and .have appropriate
equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
Page: 2

The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown,
soil type, and surface application.

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 on ly 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 o r cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results .

Acres shown in the preceding table are considered to be the usable acres excluding
required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas
not receiving full application rates due to equipment l imitations. Actual total acres in the fields
listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables .
See attached map showing the fields 'to be used for the utilization of animal waste .
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions 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 product io n facility will produce
approximately 0.84 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year in the
sludge based on the application method listed earlier.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 8400.00
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre , you will need 28.00 acres of land. If you apply
the sludge to com at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 67.20 acres of land.
Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land n ee ded . Actual requirements
could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis , soil types , realistic yields, and
applications .
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 avai lable 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 syst em is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table . Failure to apply the re co mmended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make thi s plan i nval id.
The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts .

*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 responsiability 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.

.···This plan will be irnpleme:1ted in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflo\loing, or running off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave
your property to consider that-you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that
this does not happen. This pian should be posted jn an accessible location for aD ernplovees at the
facilitY Tne follo'.lting are some action items you should take.
1. Stop the re!ease of wastes. Depending on the situation. this may or may not be possible.
Sugge~ed responses to so~e possible problems are liSted below.
A Lagoo~ overflow-possible solutions are :
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam .
b. Pump waste to fields a.t an acceptable rate .
c . Stop all flows to the lagoon irr.rn.ediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. }.-fake sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B. Runofffrom was!e application fie!d-actions include :
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b . Cre:rte a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c . Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d . Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoff.
e. Evaluate the application rates ft?r the fields where r.1noff occurred.
C . Le2.kage from ~ie waste pipes and sprinklers-action include :
a. Stop recycle pump.
b . Stop irrigation pump.
c . Close valv es to efur.inat e further discharge.

d. Stop all flows in the house, flus~ systems, or solid separat ors.
e. Repair alllea.lcs prior to restarting pumps.
E . Le.,.k:age from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to Bowing
leaks-possible action:
a. Dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage. put in a submersible pump, and pump
back to lagoon.
b. If holes are caused. by burrowing animals. trap or remove animals and fill holes and
compact with a clay type soil.
c. Have a professional evaluate t he condition of the side walls and lagoon bottom as soon
as possible.

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, w'eather ,_ flushing operations, and the amount
of fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for:
(1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also
included is storage for the 25 year -24 hour storm for the location.
The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be
fairly constant throughout the year and from' year to year, but excess
rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not
be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage
volume must always be ayailable.
A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin ·
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from
building(s). If the outl~t pipe is not installed at the elevation to
begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation
to indicate when pumping -should begin. An elevation must be established
to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth.
Pumping can be started· or stopped at any time between these two
elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit,· such as
weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without
runoff or leaching.

The following items are to be carried out:
be
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre-
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start-up. Pre-charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be
covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete,
flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not
be used for flushing after initial filling.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed . This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see aitachment)
before land application.
3. Begin temporary storage pump-out of the lagoon when fluid level
reaches the elevation 52.8 as marked by permanent marker. stop pump-
out when the fluid level reaches elevation 50.7 ., This temporary
storage, less 25 yr-24 hr storm, contains 306275 cubic feet or
2290935 gallons.
SHEET 2 OF 2
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3
inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the
lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetatiori. ,
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 not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants into waters of the United states. The Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ-
mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.
OPERATION & 1\-fAINTEN.·\i'fCE PL~'f
Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority . I~ is especially
important to m2 . .nage levels so that you do not h::.ve p;obiems during ex:tended rainy and
wet periods.
Max.imum s~orag;! capa..:i::y s~ould be a v8!able in the lagoon for periods when the
re::eiving c rop is dOi:"iT:C:,{ (such <:.s win~e=-r1me for beL"sudagrass) or when ther e are
extended ra.i.;:v svel!.s such as the thundeL"s <otm se<.son in the summertime. Th is means
that at tile firs:: signs of pia.nt growth in th.e. "lace=-winter/early spring, i!Tigation according to
a farm waste m2...t1ageme;H plan should be dor.e whenever the la.r1d is dry enough to
re::eive lagoo~ Equid . Th is wiE ma...!.:e smrage space available in the lagoon for future wet
periods. In the hEe Si.lmmer /ea:ly fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
marker (see F igure 2-1) to allow for winrer storage. Every effort should be made to
mairuain the lagoon dose to the r.1inimum liquid le vel as long as the weather a..-1d was te
utilization plan will allow it.
\Vaiting until the lagoon has reached its rm.x imum storage capacity before starting to
irrigate does not l~ve room for storing excess water during extended wet periods ..
Overflow from the lagoon for any re<.SOri except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of
st:ate law and subje::t to penalty _action . ·
The routine maimen a nce of a !~goon involves the following:

Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon faiiures result in the unpla.rmed discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types
of failures irlclude le.a...!(age through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the
dam. Assuming proper design an.d construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring s •r ucture safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification of the lagoon struc~ure---an example is the placement of a pipe
in the dam without proper· d_e·sign and construction . (Consult art expert in
lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.)
Lagoon liquid levels---high levels are a safety risk.
Failure to inspect and maintain th e dam.
Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
Liner integrity--::-protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during. sludge
removal, or rupture-from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater
table .
NOTE: I f lagoon water is allo)Ved to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to for:~! in che daw. On_ce this damage starts, it can qu ickly cause a l2rge d ischarge
of was~ewate:-and possible d2.!-n -failure.
System Calibration
li!formation presen::ed in manufacrurer's charts are based on average operation
conditions •..v ith rela~i vely nevv equipment. Discharge rates and app lication rates
change o ver time as equipment gets older and components wear. In pc:rticular,
pump wee.; tends w reduce operating pressure and f i ow. With continued use,
nozz l e v·te:.: resu lts in an increas:: in the nozzle opening which 1Nil l increase the
discharge rate while decrsa~ing the wetted diameter.
You sr,ou!d be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the
design wii! alter the c:ppl i cation rate, diameter of cove r age, and subsequently the
c:pplication uniformity. For exc:mple , operating the system with excessive pressure
results in s:natler droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the
sprink l er nozz le. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase . Plugged
intakes or crystallization of mainl ines will reduce operating pressure. Operating
befovv design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
· uniformiry.
For the above reaso n, you should calibrate your equipment on 2 regular bas is to
ensure prape r application rates and un i formity. Calibration at least once every
three yec:rs is recomiiiende·d.. Calibration involves collecting end measuring flow at
several loc2:i ons in the application a:-sa. Any number of containers can be used to
collect flo ':t and dete;mine the app lication rate. Ra i n gauges vv ork bes"L because
they c:!;ead'/ have ·a graduated scale from •Nhich to read the application amount
\Nithout hc:-;i.;g to p-erform additi onal calculations . Ho•..vever, paiis, plastic buckets,
jc:rs, or an 'ltiling with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided
the lic;,....:id collected can be easily transferred to a scaied container for meas~ring.
For s:a:ion2:y sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly
throu~hou: ::.e application area at severai distances from sprinklers . For tra v eling
guns, s .:Jrir.:<l e:s should be located a l ong a transect perpendicular to the direction
of oufl . S=: out collection containe r s 25 feet aoart a!ona the transect on both
s:des of th= gun cart. You should compute the average-c:;Jplicati on rate f o r all
noiiu n ifor;;;it'l of the application . On a windless day , variation between comainers
of mo;e t h a.-, 30 percent is cause fo: concern. You should con"Lc:ct you~ ir•igation

SHEET 1 OF 2
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 materials can be used as fill. The fill
shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9
inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer
will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading
equipment or standard tamping roller or other e quival e nt method.
Compaction will b e considered adequate when fill material is observed
to consolidate to the p o int that settl e ment is not readily detectible.
NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER
SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be
installed using the more impervious ma terials from the requir e d
excavations. Construction of fill heights shall inc lude 5 percent for
settlement. Dikes over 1 5 feet in height and with an impoundme nt
capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdictio n of the NC
Dam Safety Law. The he i ght is defined as th e diff e r e n c e in elevation
from the constructed height to the downstream t o e o f t he dike .
Precautions shall be taken during c o nstruc tio n to pre v e nt e x c essive
erosion and sedimentation.
LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNES S SHALL BE 1.6 ft.
NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN TH E ATTACHED SOILS
INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATE S OR WHEN UNSUITABLE' MATERIAL IS
ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRU CTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SE CTION OF THE LINER
IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE S OILS REPORT.
When areas of unsuitable materi a l are encount e r e d, th e y will be over-
excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as me a s ur e d
perpendicular to the fini s h grade. Th e foundation ~hall be backfilled
as spe cified to grade with a SC S approve d material (i e -CL,SC,CH).
REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL
CONSIDERATIONS.
SHEET 2 OF 2
Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The
minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture
content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded
in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water
shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content
during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner
material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement.
The maximum water content ·relates to the soil material being too ~et
for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper
compaction of the liner .includes placement in 9 inch lifts and
compacted to at least 90 .percent of the maximum ASTM 0698 Dry Unit
Weight of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift
shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next
lift.
The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme-
ability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the
liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner.
The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an estab-
lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and
compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot
roller is the preferable type of compaction equipment.
The soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet
pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks)
or using flexible outlets on waste pipes.
Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant.
When these are specified, additional construction specifications are
included with this Construction Specification.
CUTOFF TRENCH:
A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when
shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the
cutoff trench shall be determined b y obser v ation of the foundation
materials.
VEGETATION:
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded
to the planned type of vegetation as soon as p o ssible after construc-
tion according to the seeding specifications. Tops9il should be placed
on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch
shall be used if the recommended permanent veg e tation is out of season
dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon
as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates.
REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS
-------------------------------
When tile drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a m~n1mum
of 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile
trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as
SC, CL, or CH.

Hi h Freeboards
Since Hurricanes Dennis and Floyd, Brown's has
implemented a number of measures designed to minimize the
potential for future freeboard exc eedances and over
application during prolonged or s evere wet weather
conditions. These measure s include wate r conservation,
which has reduced Brown 's total annual water consumption
by approximately 40 percent; hiring new employees;
enhanced training; lagoon freeboard tracking charts; and the
purchase of additional equipment to maximize utilization of
our sprayfields ahd avoid land application under marginal or
unsuitable conditions. Brown's E MS, which will be ISO
