Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Triple D Nursery
Facility Number 82-674
Sampson County
A letter dated January I 5, 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 management 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 Trent Allen on 3/J 0/99 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:
D The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Trent Allen the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Trent Allen , at 225 Green Street, Suite
714, Fayetteville, NC 28301, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any
questions please contact Trent Allen at (91 0) 486-1541 . If within 90 days you are unable
to p~vide Trent Allen 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.

Category 2:
~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 Specialist 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 Specialist 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 Determination 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 submitted 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 their 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
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our
Central Office staff at (919) 733 -5083 ext. 571.

additional information requests, received between April 25, 2001 and January 18, 2002; we are
forwarding this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Daniel & Donna Faircloth, authorizing the
operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in
accordance with General Permit AWGIOOOOO. This approval shall consist of the operation of this
system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Triple D Nursery,
located in Sampson County, with an animal capacity of no greater than 2,600 Wean to Feeder swine and
the application to land as specified in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CA WMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2003. 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, with no discharge of wastes to
surface waters. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and
operational information must be established for this farm. Any increase in waste production greater than
the certified design capacity or increase in number of stocked ~imals above the number authorized by
this COC will require a modification to the CA WMP and this COC and shall be completed prior to
actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
The facility's CA WMP meets all requirements in place at the time of certification. However, it
appears that the irrigation system on site may not adequately cover all acreage listed in the Waste
Utilization Plan. The owner should address this inconsistency as soon as possible.

PRODUCER: DANIEL S . FAIRCLOTH
LOCATION: 407 PLEASANT UNION ROAD

TELEPHONE: {910) 525-4226
TYPE OPERATION: Wean to Feeder Swine
NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 2600 pigs design capacity
The waste from your animal facility must be land acplied at a scecified
rate to prevent pollution of surface a n d/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 waste
is to ~ applied. This waste utilizatio n 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 realist -~c yields of the crop to be grown .
Several factors are important in impl~ment i ng your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always
apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can
utilize . Soil types are important as they have di -fferent infilitration
rates, -l e aching potentials, cation excha nge capacities, and available
water holding capacities. Normally was te shall not be applied to land
eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With speci a l pre-
cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding a t up to 10 tons per
acre per year. Do not apply waste on s aturated soils, when it is
rainin g, or when the surface is frozen . Either of these c onditions
may result in runoff to surface waters which is not a llowed under DEM
regulations . Wind condit i ons should a lso be considered to avoid drift
and downwind odor problems. To ma ximize t he value of the nutrients
for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the
waste should be applied to a growing crop o r applied to b are g r ound
not 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 irrigat i on for this
is the manne r i n which you have chosen to appl y your waste. If you
choose to inj e ct the waste in the futu r e , you need to revise t his
plan. Nu t r i ent l e vels for injecting waste and irrigating ·w~te are
not the same.
The e stimated acre s needed t o apply the a ni ma l was t e is based o n
typic a l nu t rient con tent for this type of fa c ility . Acreage require-
ments should be based on the waste anal y sis r eport from your waste
manageme nt fac i lity. Attached y o u wil l find inf o rmation on proper
sampling techn iques, preparatio n, a n d trans fe r o f waste samples to
the lab f or analysis .
This was te utilization plan, if carrie d o ut, meets the requirements
for complian ce with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Env ironmental
Management Commission .

NOTE : The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic
land application of sludge at agronomic rates . The sludge will be
nutrient rich and will requ i re precautionary measures to prevent
over application of nutrients or other elements . Your production
facility will produce approximately 197 .6 pounds of plant
available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be
removed en a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting
the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land,. as well
special equipment 1 may be needed when you remove this sludge.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
waste water.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of
the s oil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or pending occurs.
This rate is limited b y 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 o~ the
soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available n~trogen
applied exceed the nitrogen needs o f the crop .
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 waste being stored in
your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike .
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 5
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for.cbis 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 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 rate prior to applying the waste .

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Plans .and $pecifications PAGE 6
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runof£
drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharg~
during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which
reaches surface wa~e~ is proh~bited. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of c1v1l penalt~es of $10,000 per day by the Division
of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2 . The Field Office must hav e documentation in the design folder that
the producer either has owns or has long term access to adeauate
land ~o properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own
adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS
with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within
a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application for the life expectancy of the production
facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility
to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is
a c~nge in the operation, increase in_the number of animals,
metfiod of utilization, or available land .
3. A-~imal 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
level of management, unless there are regulations that
restrict the rate of application for other nutrients .
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resou=ce
Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System
(ACS) . If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater
than 10 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" required by DEM.
(See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strips and Standard 390
Interim Riparian Forest Buffers) .
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste application . Waste should not be appl ied whe n the
wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
flooding, it will be soil incorporated on c o nventionally
tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops
or grassland, the waste may be broadcast prov ided the
application does not occur during a season pro ne to
flooding. (See "Weather a:1d Climate in North Carolina." ~n
the NRCS Technical Reference -Environment file for guidance.
7 . Liquid waste shall b e app li ed at rates not t o exceed the soil
infiltration rat e such tha ~ run off does no t occu = of fsite or
to surface waters and in a method which doe s not cau se drift
from the site during application. No pending should occur
in order to control conditio ns conducive to odor or flies
and to provide unifoYmity of application.
8 . Animal waste shall not be applied to saturat e d s o ils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively gro.,.,ing crops in
such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 per c e ~t or t he leaf
area is covered .
:...,._ .
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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 a
crop on bare soil. ·
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to
surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that
are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips
are present. (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. 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 wasters,
drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over-spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site
by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be
applied on grassed waterways that discharge into water
courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the
application causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16 . Domestic and industrial wast e from washdown facilities ,
showers, t o ilet s , sinks, e t c., shall not b e discharged into
the animal wa st e management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structure s
must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate

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. Plu'gged intakes or crystallization of mainlines
will reduce operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the
coverage diameter and application uniformity.
For. the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to ensure
proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is
recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow ~t 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 already have a
graduated scale from which to read the application amount without having to perform
additional 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 non uniformity of the application. On a
windless day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern.
You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon management should be a year-round priority. It is especially important to manage
levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the receiving crop is
dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are extended ra iny spells such as a
thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first sign of plant growth in the
later winter I early spring , irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done
whenever the land in dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in
the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer I early fall the lagoon should be pumped down
to the low marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste util.ization
plan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to irrigated does
not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods . Overflow from the lagoon for
any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to penalty action .
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
• Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam . Fescue or common bermudagrass
are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each
year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilized applied should
be based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain a soils test
each year, the lagoon embankment and surround ing areas should be fertilized with
800 pounds per acre of 10-1 0-10, or equivalent.
• Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled . This may be done by
mowing, spraying, grazing , chopping, or a combination of these practices. This
should be done at least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather
conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth .
NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter the lagoon
water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating the waste .
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial fi lling of the lagoon
and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be checked should include,
as a minimum, the following :
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow P i pes -look for:
1. separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4 . overall condition of pipes
2
Lagoon surface -· look for:
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment -look for:
1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability -slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack or vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action . If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts .
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons . You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a
threat of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not ·be conducted unless
reco'mmended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps -check for proper operation of:
1. recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need of repair or
replacement.
NOTE : Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that
you are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure . You should perform your
pumping system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will
allow some safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is
not the time to think about switching, repairing, or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your
lagoon is full , your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an
inventory of spare parts or pumps.
• Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface drainage
waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot
runoff} away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage
structures . The only water that should be coming from your lagoon is that
which comes from your flushing (washing) system pipes and the rainfall that
hits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the
following:
1 . adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height
3
Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain . If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an overflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into
the lagoon from the surrounding land. ·
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste
loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the end of the
pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial filling or another
means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining.
4 . When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial
establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon liquid
volume. This seeding should occur at least two weeks prior to the addition of
wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH . If the pH falls below 7.0, add
agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1 000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume
until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate biological
activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended if these
conditions occur for prolonged periods , especially during the warm season .
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
lagoon will function . Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily
are optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems. in which one or more buildings are
drained and recharged each day, also work well.
4
• Practice water conservation -m1mm1ze building water usage and spillage from
leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water
conservation.
• Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted . This will reduce the
amount of solids entering the lagoon.
Management:
• Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full
temporary storage level.
• Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level
and the maximum liquid level. (Figure 2-1).
• Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on nutrient
requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized for the
summer thunderstorm season. Similarly, irr1gate in the late summer I early fall to
provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter.
• The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the
dam or embankment.
• Don not pump the lagoon liquid level lower than the permanent storage level unless
you are removing sludge.
• Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid surface and
as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible. '
• Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation , molded
feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon .
• Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
• Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
• Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment.
• Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or
before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
• If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by :
5
• proper lagoon sizing,
• mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
• gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
• minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
• have more nutrients,
• have more odor, and
• require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
• Hire a custom applicator.
• Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller pump through large -
bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby-cropland; and soil incorporate.
• Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland ·or forageland ; mix
remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul and spread onto cropland or
forageland; and soil incorporate.
• Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland;
dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; benn an area beside lagoon
to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back into lagoon; aUow sludge to
dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader onto cropland or forageland; and soil
incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by th ese nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage.
Close attention by the pumper or drag-line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner
remains intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being distu rbed, you
should stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can
be removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid . Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus and
metal levels, as indicated by a soil test , and incorporated to reduce the chance of erosion.
Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil-test phosphors, it should be
applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other wastes,
always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra pre caution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.
6
Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure.
Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping , and breach of
the dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
• Modification of the lagoon structure -an example is the placement of a pipe in the dam
without proper design and construction . (Consult an expert in lagoon design before
placing any pipes in dams.}
• Lagoon liquid levels -high levels are a safety risk.
• Failure to inspect and maintain the 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 : If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large
discl'large of wastewater and possible dam failure.

COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE (CES)
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 your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to
ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be 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 or may not be possible. Suggested
responses to some possible problems are listed below.
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 flow 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.

This lagoon is de s igned for wa ste tre~tme1ft <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, weath er , flushing operations, and the _amount
o~ fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for:
(1) waste from animals and (2) excess rai nf all after evaporation. Also
included is storage for the 25 year -24 -hour storm for t he location.
The volum e 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 alway s be available.

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

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. Jt is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to
secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation,
increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop
yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level
of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste
may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 1 0 tons per acre per
year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG
Standard 393-Filter Strip).
5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated
on conventionally tilled cropJand. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland,
the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season
prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
7 Liquid waste shalf be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No pending should occur in order to control odor or flies. -
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when th e
surface is frozen.
Page 5
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage
from animal waste should also be considered.
1 0 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 win.ter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients . Waste
shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking
dormancy.
11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal
waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be
applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393-Filter Strips).
12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over-sprayi!)g. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical special ist".
Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a
manner that courses no runoff or drift from the site.
16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system .
Page6
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to
protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc.,
are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed
and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of
erosion, leakage or discharge.
18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19 Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on site.
20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct
human 1 consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption it should only be applied pre-plant with no further apP,Iications animal waste
during the crop season.
21 Highly visible markers shalf 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
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites
shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production arid maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

If surface irrigation is the method of land application for· t"his plan,:
it is the resnonsibility 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 Nitrogen shoWn in the _tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report

Subject: Sludge Compliance Requirement Change
Dear Permittee:
In accordance with Condition 111.19 of State General Permit A WG 100000, your facility is
required to maintain compliance regarding sludge accumulation in your animal waste treatment
lagoon(s). As you know, the previous compliance limit was to have a minimum of four (4) feet
of treatment depth between the designed stop pump and the average elevation of the top of the
sludge blanket. This requirement was based on NRCS Standard No. 359, which was recently
modified.
As of July 2008, Standard No. 359 does not use the 4-foot requirement. Sludge compliance is
now to be based on the sludge volume as a percentage of the total treatment volume. The revised
Standard states that sludge accumulation in the permanent treatment zone must be less than 50%
of the planned treatment volume. Also, there must be a minimum of 2.5 feet of liquid abov e the
sludge at the pump intake location. If either of these conditions is not met then sludge must be
removed or managed in accordance with an approved Plan of Action for Lagoon Sludge
Reduction (POA). A new sludge suiVey worksheet has been developed to calculate sludge and
treatment volumes to determine compliance.
Our records indicate that you have filed a Sludge POA for one or more of the lagoon s at your
facility. Based on the changes to the sludge requirements in Standard No. 3 59 , your lagoon(s)
may already be in compliance without any sludge removal. ·Using your lagoon design (or as-
built information) and current sludge suiVey measurements, complete the NEW sludge survey
worksheet. If you have any difficulty in locating or understanding your lagoon design
information, please contact your technical specialist or county Soil & Water office.

The Division of Water Resources (Division) received your sludge survey information on July 20,
2018. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement for
the lagoon at TripleD Nursery facility. Due to the amounts of treatment volume available, the
Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed until December 31, 2019.
The next sludge survey for the lagoon at Triple D Nursery should be performed before
December 31, 2019. Please retain this letter and keep it with your farm records for reference.

c . Thickness of the sludge layer if making a direct measurement with ·core sampler".
F. Lagoon Surface Area (using dimensions at inside top of bank): 0.527 (acres)
(Draw a sketch of the lagoon on a separate sheet, list dimensions, and calculate surface area. The lagoon
may have been built different than designed, so measurements should be made.)
G. Estimate number of sampling points:
a . less than 1.33 acres: Use 8 points
b . If more than 1.33 ac. aaes x 6 = __ .........;;;3...;.;12;;., with maximum of 24.
(Using sketch and dimensions. develop a uniform grid that has the same number of intersections as the
estimated number of sampling points needed. Number the intersection points on the lagoon grid so that data
recorded at each can be easily matched.)
H. Conduct sludge survey and record data on "Sludge Survey Data Sheet" (Appendix 2). Also. at the
location of the pump intake, take measurements of distance from liquid surface to top of sludge
layer and record It on the Data Sheet (last row); this must be at least 2.5 ft. when irrigating.
I. At the time of the survey, also measure the distance from the Maximum Uquid Level to the Present Uquid
Level (measure at the lagoon gauge pole):
J. Oetennine the distance from the top of bank to the Maximum Uquid Level
(use lagoon management plan or other lagoon records)
K. Determine the distance from the Maximum Uquid to the Minimum Uquid level:
(use lagoon management plan or other lagoon records)
L. Calculate the distance from the present liquid surface level to the Minimum Liquid Level
(Item K Minus Item I, assuming the present liquid level is below the Maximum Uquid Level)
M . Record from the Sludge Survey Data Sheet the distance from the present liquid surface level to the
lagoon bottom (average for all the measurement points)
N. Record fTOm the Sludge Survey Data Sheet the distance from the present liquid surface level to the top
of the sludge layer (average for an the measurement points):
0. Record from the Sludge SuJVey Data Sheet the average thickness of the sludge layer:
P. Calculate the thickness of the existing Liquid Treatment Zone (Item N minus Item L):
0. If Item 0 is greater than Item P, proceed to the Wortcsheet for Sludge Volume and Traatment Volume.
If Item 0 is equal to or less than Item P, you do not have to detennine volumes.

Appendix 3. Worksheet for sludge volume and treatment volume Revised August 2008
The average thickness of the sludge layer and the thickness of the existing liquid (sludge-free) treatment zone are determined
from the infonnation on the Laaoon Sludge Swvey Form (Items 0 and P. respectively). In this example. the average sludge
layer thickness is 2..5 feet and the existing liquid treatment zone is 3.5 feet. If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume,
see notes at end of the wortcsheet. The dimensions of the lagoon as measured and the side slope are needed
for calculations of sludge volume and of total treatment volume. ff the lagoon is a standard geometlic shape, the sludge
volume and the treatment volume in the lagoon can be estimated by using standard equations. For approximate volumes
of rectangular lagoons with constant side slope, calculate length and width at the midpoint of the layer, and multiply by layer
thickness to c:aJa.date layer volume, as shown in the example. For irregular shapes, convert the total surface area to a square
or rectangular shape. For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the •prismoidat Equations• may be used.

15. Ratio ( R) of sludge layer volume to total Treatment Volume

If the ratio R exceeds 0.50, than a sludge Plan of Action may be required. Check with OWQ for Information
on filing the Plan of Action.
Note: ffthe lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume (DSSV), subtract that volume from both the volume
of sJudge (Vs) (Item 8) and from the volume of total treatment zone (Vz) (Item 14), and take the ratio.
Then, R = (Vs-DSSV) I (Vz -DSSV)
Example: ffDSSV = 85,000 ttl , then R = (169,860 • 85,000) I (447,174 -85,000) = 84,8601362,174 = 0.24.

If the sludge level is equal to or higher than the stop pump level of the lagoon or if the sludge level
results in an elevated waste analysis. a sludge management plan that meets the requirements of SB
Interagency Group Guidance Document 1.26 must be prepared by a technical specialist and su~ to
OWQ within 90 days. Work to reduce the sludge level must begin within another 180 days. Compliance
with NRCS Standard 359 must be achieved within two years of the original sludge survey.
If the sludge level is flOO-Q)mpliant but below the stop pump level of the lagoon, a POA must be filed
within 90 days and comPliance with NRCS StandaJd 359 must be achieved within two years of the
original sludge survey indicating non-compf1ance. If future sludge surveys do not show improvement in ·
sludge levels, DWQ may require the owner to develop a sludge management plan that meets the
requirements of SB Interagency Group Guidance Document 1.26.

Dear Daniel & Donna Faircloth:
DENR-FAYETTEVIllE REGIONAL OffiCE
Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. A WS820674
Triple D Nursery
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 March 6, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Daniel &
Donna Faircloth, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste 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 WS82067 4 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 Triple D Nursery, located in Sampson County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 2600 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 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 number 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
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
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
-..-la_ws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility .
Per 15A NCAC 2H .0225(c) a ·compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100 foot separation
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 CA WMP 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.
