T~e Waste Ut ilizatio n table sh own below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan pro vi des an estimate of the number of acres of cropla f1d
n~eded to use the nutrients bein g prod uced . The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper
timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
'
Thi s table provides an estimate of the amou nt of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being su~plied by manure or other
by~products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previ ous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be app li~d on each fie ld in order to
supply the ind icated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included.
A balance of the total manure produ ced an d the total manur e applied is included in the ta ble to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the util iza tion of the manu re
generated by the operati on. Animal operati ons that generate liquid waste and utilize waste storage fa cilities (lagoons or ho lding pond s) may apply more or less waste
in any given yea r than is ann ually generated by the facility. In order to determine whether the plan adequa tel y util izes the waste produced by the facility, the storage
capacity table in cluded in this plan shou ld be re viewed to ensure that the design capac ity of the storage faci lity is not exc eeded during th e planning per iud.
Depending on the requirements of th e crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over or under applied if animal waste is bein g utilized .
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if ani mal waste is being app lied . Soi l tes ts should be used to balance the
nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient man age ment plans may require that th e application of animal waste be limited
so as to prevent over applic ation of pho s phorous when exce ssiv e levels of this nutrient are detected in a field.

The Irrigation Application Factors for each field in this plan are shown in the following table. Infiltration
rate varies with soils. If applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that
will not result in runoff. This table provides the maximum application rate per hour that may be applied to
each field selected to receive wastewater. It also lists the maximum application amount that each field may
receive in any one application event.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for sludge
utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for
each source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the
second column.
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At
clean out, tbis·material·must be ·utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority
nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient
levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied.
Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be
used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with
high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water
moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a
concern.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage capacity
available at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage
capacity in day s minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value
entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which
storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero.
A vail able storage -capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design
storage capacity of the facility . If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of
accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. This indicates that the planned
application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent wi th the structure's temporary storage
capacity.

NARRATIVE
This plan was written to correspond with a wettable acres determination completed
5117/01. The ~pplication windows forthe receiving crops were taken from the original
plan written 1/8/96 by Wilson Spencer.
Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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 that reaches surface
water ·is proliiti.ited.
2. There must be documentation in the design fold 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 Management
Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of application, receiving 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 by 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 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 soil surface is frozen.
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 that 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 a 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 ar agronomic rates
in a manner that causes not runoff or drift from site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets,
sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management
686831 Database Version 1.05 Date Printed: 05-1 7-200 l Specification Page 2
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 wo·ody species, etc., are lim:iteo 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 "closut:'e 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 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 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. Zinc and copper levels in the
soils 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
686831 Database Version 1.05 Date Printed: 05-17-2 001 Specification Page 3

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.

TDM 104 Richard Casey
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
Permit 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 May 2, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage {COC} issued to Joseph
Richard Casey, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and
land application system in accordance with General Permit AWGlOOOOO . The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number A WS820655 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 TDM 104 Richard Casey, located in Sampson County, with an animal capacity
of no greater than an annual average of 3820 Wean to Feeder swine and the application to land as
specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CA WMP). If this is a Farrow to
Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may al so be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are
unneccess ary, 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 i~crease in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Since this is a revised State
General Pe rmit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the
previous 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

Sampson C ounty
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
·Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste managem e nt plan as receiving waste application. Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Scott Faircloth on 6/29/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your
facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of
the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X". ~ ·
Category 1:
0 The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Scott Faircloth the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Scott Faircloth, at 225 ~reen Street, Suite
714, Fayetteville, NC 28301, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any
questions please contact Scott Faircloth at (91 O) 486-1541 . If within 90 days you are
unable to provide Scott Faircloth with the information you are automatically required
to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within
180 days of receipt of this letter.

N_ Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste . Therefore , some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Sp ecialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N .C. Cooperative Extension
Service , the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Spec ialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Detennination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next
180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penaltY assessments, permit revocation ,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed , a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be subn:titted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during thei r annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install

-i::~.-~ you per instructions received in a letter from Mr. Alan KJimeck dated May 21, 1999
-j~}\;,~:· ~--? f:f:j~.~~~~i:
· c:O~ temporazy odor rules for swine farms. In his letter Mr. Klimeck: stated that if I believed
~~:·~:-~-¥ -~~~~~~-~~~~.:~-:·;·:~:. ,
· ¥~: !S:'Problematic for you to comply with any of these required managemeut IDCtices please send . . . ____ .. ,.
-~~documentation by August 1,1999." We believe that it is problematic for our farms to comply
;.-~· .. :;~-~;~\ ~~:~~-
~'reqwrement No. 7. In addition we also question the effectiveness of requirement No. 1 and
. ~-. . -
believe that both of these rules will have a neglig1ble or adverse effect on odor and could produce
negative impacts on water quality.
Requirement No. 7 states that flush tanks should be covered or the till pipes should be extended below
the surface of the wastewater of the tank. From per.;onal observation, I feel that these tanks and the
way that they fill are not a significant source of odor on a swine farm By covering or extending the fill
pipes the farm operator will not be able to observe the ra1e at which the recycle water fills the tank.
This is critical because the tanks arc often set up to dnmp periodically with a timer. If the tanks dump
before they are tilled the result is insufficient, water to completely move the mannre out of the pit tlms
creating more odors from the building. Conversely, if the tank fills before it is time to dump, you risk a
spill via a blocked overflow pipe.
June 10. 1999
Page2
Requirement No. 1 states that the discharge point ofthe pipe from the buildings shall enter below the
surface of animal wastewater lagoons. 'Ibis requirement will make it impossible for the operator to
observe what is being discharged from the buildings. A pipe that becomes clogged may go undetected
leading to a back up of recycle water in the pit with the potential to spill out of the building. The
operator also will not be able to detect any unusual discharge such as fresh water from a leak or
malfunction. The added tum in the pipe needed to direct the flow under the lagoon surface could also
increase the chance of a blockage.
Because of these concerns we have not covered or extended the fill pipes on the dump tanks at any of
the farms that we own or manage. We have extended our discharge lines under the surface of the
lagoons. We have advised our growers to extend their discharge lines but have given them their choice
on how to handle the flush tanks. Most have opted to leave them as is. I have included a list of fanns
associated with IDM in your region. This includes fanns., which we own, manage, or grow hogs on
Contract for us.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Please review the attached plan and specificatiqns carefully.
Retain this. plan for your use ~nd records. It is strongly
recommended that you , your contractor, and the Natural Resource
Conservation Service staff are in agreement as to how the lagoon
is to be constructed. NRCS pers:onnel will meet with all
concerned-parties and walk over the site to·explain all flags
and markings. It is important that everyone understands what is
expected so that final cor..struction meets plans and
specifications and the job can be certified for payment {if ACP
cost-share is involved) . I
The pad dimensions and grades -are the best estimate. The
builder or contractor is responsible for final layout and
design of the pads. NRCS personnel will assist ip a limited
capacity, as its major concern is the proper design and
construction of the waste treatment lagoon.
The actual amount of material required for pads and dam mdy
vary from the estimates. The design will attempt to balance
cuts and fills as close as possible. If additional rnateri~l is
-~equired after conscruction is complete ori the lagoon, the
contracto~ and owner will negotiate on the price and locacion
of the borrow area.
It should be not~d that certification of the lagoon will depend
upon all specifications being met. Important items include
leng~h, width, depth, slopes, topsoil placement, correct
~levations (top, bottom, discharge pipes), and seeding.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified
rate •to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater . ~he plant
nutr~ents in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where waste
is td 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 r~alis~ic 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 aoplied 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 infilitration
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 pre-
cautions, 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 frozen. Either qf these conditions
mav 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 the nut rients
for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution , the
waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground
nee more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this
is the manner in which you have chose~ to apply your waste . ~f y ou
choose to inject the waste in the fu~~re, you need to rev ise chis
plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irr i gating waste are
not ~he same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
t y~ical nutrient content for ttis typ~ of facility . Acreage ~equire­
me~ts should be based on the waste .analysis report .from your waste
management facility. Attached you will find information on p~oper
sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to
the lab for analysis.
T~~s waste utilization plan, if carri~d out, meets the requirements
fer comol iance with 15A NCAC 2ri.02l7 adopted by the Environment al
Ma~agement Commission.

.j · t
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intakeitate 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. !

I
i Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage I
and the temporary sGorage must be removed on the average of once every
6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in
your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike.
I£ 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 Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of ~itrogen shown in the tables m~y make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialis·t after you receive the waste analysis report

Animal waste shall not reach surfac: \·waters of the state by runoff,
drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge
during operati~n or land application ' Any discharge of waste which ··
reaches surface water is prohibited~l Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by .the.Division
of Environment~! ~anagement fqr everjjday the discharge continues.
The Field Office must have documentadfon in the design folder that
the producer either owns or has longlt~rm access to adequate
land to properly dispose of waste. ]£1 the producer does not own
adequate land to properly dispose of ~waste, he shall provide NRCS
with a copy of a written agreement wi~h a landowner who is within
a reasonable proximity, allowing him/~er the use of the land for
waste application for the life expec~'ancy of the production
facility. It is the responsibility f the owner of the facility
to secure an update of the Waste Uti]ization Plan when there is
a change in the operation, increase {n the number of animals,
method of utilization, or available land.
Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
Nitrogen needs for .realistic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and
l~vel of management, unless there are regulations that
restrict the rate of application for other nutrients.
Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource
Management System ·(RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System
(ACS} . If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater
than 1·0 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips
will be used where runoff leaves the field.· These filter
strips will be in addition to "Buffers 11 required by DEM.
(See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strios and Standard 390
Interim Riparian Forest Buffers) . -·
Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste application ·. Waste should not be applied when the
wind is blowing.
When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally
tilled cropland. When appli e d to conservation tilled crops
or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the
application does n o t occur du~ing a season prone to
flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in Nort h Carolina" in
the NRCS Technical Reference -Environment file 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 s urface waters and in a me thod which does not cause drift
from the site during application . No pending sho uld occur
in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies
and to provide uniformi ty of appl ication.
Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or \>/hen the surface is frozen.
A.~imal waste shall be applied on acti~ely growing crops in

OPERA "flON AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and
180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the Rlanned
fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary
due to site conditions, weather. flushing operations, and the amount
of fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for:
(1) was~e 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 available.
A ~aximum elevation is determined in each design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from
building(s) .. If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to
begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation
to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established
to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth: ..
Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two
elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as
weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without
runoff or leaching.
Land application of

waste water is recognized as an acceptable
Methods of application include solid set,
and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be
waste to prevent damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
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 ~aste (see attachment)
before land. application.
3. Begin temporary storage pump-out of the lagoon when fluid level
reache~ the elevation 94.8 as marked by permanent marker . Stop pump-
out when the fluid level reaches elevation 92.1 . This temporary
sto~age, less 25 yr-24 hr storm, contains 64114 cubic feet or
.179572 gallons.

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 sho~ld be fert.iljzed as needed
to maintain ·a -vigorous stand. ·
6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetat~on .
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 pe r ennial 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 oth~! proper~y and public right-of-ways.
9. ~he Clean Water Act .of 1977 prohibits the discharge _of
·pollutants -into · waters of the Uniied States. The Department gf
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Divi s ion of Environ-
mental Management. has the resp~nsibi 1 i ty for enforcing this law.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
FOUNDATION PREPARATION:
The foundation area of th~ lagoon embankment and buiiding 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 lagoo~ and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on
the dike and pad areas. After stripping,·the f~undation 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 EARTHF!LL 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 brou~ht up in approximately h9rizontal layers not to eiceed 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 equivalent method.
Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed
to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectible.
NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER
SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the 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 h ~ight and with an impoundment
c apacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC
Dam Safety La~~-The height is defined as the differenc e in elevation
from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike.
Precautions shall be taken during cqnstructi on to prevent excessive
erosion and sedimentation.
L IN ER : THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.8 ft.
NOT E: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATT~CHED S OILS
INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL I~
ENCOUNTERED DURING.·CONSTRUCT!ON . A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER
IS INCLUDED TN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT.
When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over -
ex ~avated belowvfinish grade t o the specified depth as measured
Perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled

The sequence of equipmant us e and t.!-,•,;o l'i)llt i ng of <-o-quipm8nt i .-, r.ln 8Sta!':!-
lished pattern helps assure unif0rmi~y in the whole p la c em e n~ and
compaction process. For most clay soils. a t~mping o r ~h ~~psf oo t
roller is the preferable type of com~a c tion equipment.
Th e soil liner shall be protected from ths discharge of wasts outlet
pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipat Gr (rocks)
or using flexible outlets on waste pipes.
Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners a n d bentonite sealant.
When these are specified, additional construction specificatio ns are
included with this Construction S pecification.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION .OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
I
---------------------~------------------------------------
~.
FOUNDATION PREPARATION: .. I
!
i
The foundation area of the-l·lagoon embankment · and· building pad shall be
cleared of trees, logs, st4~PS, roots , brush, boulders,sod and rubbish.
Satisfactory disposition w~ll be made of all debr is. Th~ topsoi l from
the lagoon and pad area ~h~~ld be stripped and stockpiled for use on
·· ·· the dike and pad areas. Aft!er stripping, the foundation area of the
lagoon embankment and build~ng pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior
to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond.
!
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PJACEMENT:
1 -----------------------------------'
The completed excavation and earthfill shatl c onform 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 e x tent
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 equivalent method.
.... · ·compaction wi 11 be considered adequate when f i 11 material is observed
··to· .consolidate to the point . that settlement is not readily detectible.
NOTE -THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER
-~ SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be
installed using the more impervious materials from the required
excavations . Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent fo1
settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment
capacity of 10 acre-feet or mo1e fall under the jurisdiction of the NC
Dam Safety Law . The height i s defined as the difference in elevation
from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike.
Precautions shall be taken during construction t o prevent exce ss ive
erosion and sedimentation.
LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.8 ft.
NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS
INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS
ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER
IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT.
When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over-
excavated below finish grade t o the specified depth as measured
perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled
as specified to grade with a SCS approved material (ie-CL,SC,CH).

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing or running off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters
or leave you property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every
effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible
location for all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should
take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may ore may not be
possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed belwo.
A. Lagoon overflow-possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b . Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate .
c . Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d . Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B. Runoff from waste application field-actions include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that cause the runoff.
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers-action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b . Stop irrigation pump.
c. Close valves to eliminate further discharge.
d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
D. Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid separators-action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump .
c. Make sure siphon occurs.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators.
E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed
to flowing leaks-possible action:
a. Dig a small sump or ditch from the embankment 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 the condition of the side walls and lagoon
bottom as soon as possible.
1
2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
c. Any damage notes, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage 7
d. Did the spill leave the property?
e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters?
f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters?
g. Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off the property)?
h. How much reached surface waters 7
3. Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours call your DWQ regional office; Phone--. After
hours, emergency number: 919-733-3942. Your phone call should include: your
name, facility number, telephone number, the details of the incident from item 2

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 as 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 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 re , you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper applica rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every
three years is recommen ed. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at
several locations 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 al ready have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount
without having to perform add itional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets,
jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided
the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring .
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 for all
nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers
of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irri gation
dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

WASTE 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 properly dispose of waste, he/she shall
provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when
there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict
the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons
per acre per year. Waste may b e applied to land that is eroding
at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year
p roviding grass filter strips are installe d 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 b e applied when there is
danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled
cropland. Wh e n applied to conse r vatio n 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" f o r guidance.)
7. Liquid was te shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to
surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from
the site during application. No ponding should occur in order
to control odor or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be appli ed to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal was te s hall be applied on actively growing crops 1n such
a manner that the cro p is not covered with wast e to a depth that
would inhibit growth. The potential for salt d amage from animal
waste should also be considered.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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 n o t be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters.
(See Standard 393 -Filter Strips} .
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. Wast e 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 wa ters ,
drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over-spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided
they have been approved as a land application site by a
"technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharges directly into water courses,
and on other grassed waterways, waste sha ll be applied at
agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from
the site.
16. Domestic a nd industrial waste from was hdown facilities ,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged i nto t he
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. Vegetat i o n such as trees, shrubs, and
ot h er woody species , etc., are limited to areas where considered
appro priate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible.
Be rms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence
of erosion, leakage or discharge.

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

The Division of Water Resources (Division) received your sludge survey information on March
28, 2014. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement
for the lagoon at the TDM I 04 Richard Casey facility. Due to the amount of treatment volume
available, the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed until December 31, 2018.
The next sludge survey for the lagoon at this facility should be performed before December 31,
2018. Please retain this letter and keep it with your farm records for reference. Thank you for
your attention to this matter.
Please call me at (9I9) 807-6340 if you have any questions.
