Sludge Survey Report
Steed's Farms, Inc.
NCA282689
Sampson County
Your Animal Waste Management General NPDES Permit contains a condition
that addresses the sludge survey requirement for the lagoon(s) at your animal
feeding operation.
Your NPDES Permit Number NCA282689 Condition 111.16, on page 10 states:
"All facilities, which are issued a COC to operate under this permit, shall conduct
a survey of the sludge·accumulation in all lagoons within one (1) year of receiving
the COC and every year thereafter. This survey shall include but not be limited to
a sketch showing the depth of sludge in the various locations within each lagoon.
This survey shall be submitted as part of the facility's armual report in the year it
was conducted ... "
Our records indicate that the Division has not received the sludge survey results
for the year 2005 from your facility and your facility had not previously exempted
based on prior surveys. The form was due March I, 2006. To avoid possible
enforcement action for a violation of your permit, please submit the results within
thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter to the following address:

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 gre.wn and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are
important as they have different infiltration rates , leaching potentials, cation exchange
capacities, and available water holding capacities . Normally waste shall not be applied to land
eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be
applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils , when
it is raining, or when the surface is frozen . Either of these conditions may result in runoff to
surface waters which is not allowed under OEM regulations . Wind conditions should also be
considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for
crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a
growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the
waste or disking will. conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems .
)
The 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 lab for analysis .
This waste. utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A
NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Env ironmental Management Commission .

Narrative of operation:
Page 4
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 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 cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland,
the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season
prone to flooding. (See 'Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No pending should occur in order to control odor or flies .
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils , during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen .

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 tot spring planted crops on soils with a
high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste
shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking
dormancy.
11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal
waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be
applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393-Filter Strips).
12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to well s.
13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters , drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over-spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist''.
Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, and on oth er gra ssed waterways , waste s hall be appli ed at agronomic rates in a
manner that co urses no runo ff or drift from the site .
16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilit ies, showers, toil e ts, sinks, e tc., shall
not be disch arged into the an imal waste managem ent system.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of S\li'Uce and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should
be used to reduce the amoun.t 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 a,nalyzed 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 w~ste utilization plan in order to
lll1ximize 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 :atest leaching
potentials, cation exchange capacitiest and availaQte water holding capacities .. Normally
waste sh.al.l not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With
special precautions, waste may be .s.ppliea to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per
year. Do not apply waste on saturated soilst when it is nin.ingt or when fue surface is
frozen.. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to su.rfice waters which is not
aUowea under DEM regulations. -Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift
and downwind odc;>r problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or
applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or ·
disking will couserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for tills 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 tr:.nsfer of waste samples to the lab for
analysis.

discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of$10,900 per day by the
Division of EnVironmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the 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 (sample enclosed) with. a landowner
who is with.in 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 t.o secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there
is a change in the operation , increase in the number of animals , ;:nelhod ofu~iliz.ation,

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment <permanent storage) with
min. odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be
reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to soil conditions
flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system.
The designed G months temporary storage is an estimated volume
based on: 1) waste from animals; 2) excess raintall after evaporation;
and 3) the largest 24 hour <one day) rainfall that occurs on the
average of once every 25 years. The volume of waste generated from
a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year
and from year to year. This estimate is based on 7 inches of excess
rainfall which is equal to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in
.a year. The average annual excess rainfall is approximately 8 inches.
Therefore, an average of 8 inches of excess rainfall will need to be
pumped each y~ar. 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 maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from
buildingCs). If the outlet pipe is not installed on the elevation to
begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed on this elevation
to indicate when pumping should begin; An elevation must be established
to stop pumping to maintain minimum treatment depth <6 feet).
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

center pivot, guns,
taken when applying
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 waste (see attachment)
before land application.
3. Begin pump-out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva-
tion 51.0 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump-out when
the fluid level reaches elevation 49.0 or before the fluid depth is
less than 6 feet deep <this prevents the loss of favorable
bacteria). The design temporary storage, less 25 year stcirm
is 124464 cubic feet or 930990 gallons. As stated before, this
volume will vary considerably from year to year.
:
·'
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
one (1) inch and the recommend~d maximum application rate is 0.3
inch per hour.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the
lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from .the lagoon to stable
c•utlets.
B. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer

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 sho~ld be posted in an accessible
location for all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should
~~. J
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 (ields· at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows~··the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumpin contractor.
e. Make sure no urface 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
seepag e, put i n a submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon . .
b. If holes are caused b¥ buu~ animals, trap or remove animals and f1ll
holes and compact with a clay type soil.
c . Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon
bott om as soon as possible. ·

2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the waste reach any surface waters7
b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration7
c. Any damage notes, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage?
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?
3. Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours call your OWQ regional office; Phone --. After
hours, emergency number: 919-733-3942. Your phone call should include: your

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 gf 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 reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every
three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at
several 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
nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers
of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation
deafer or technical specialist for assistance .

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid 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 rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means
that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring. irrigation according to
a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to
receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet
periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon shql!ld 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
utilization plan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to
irrigate 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 fertilizer 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 surrounding areas
should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or
equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled . This may be
done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices. This should be done at least once a year and
possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth .
NOTE: 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 filling 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 Pipes---look for:
1. separation of jomts
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4 . overall condition of pipes
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 ~ recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.

Loading:
Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
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.
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.
When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
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 occour at least two weeks prior to the
addition of wastewater.
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 1000 cubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid
pH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
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.
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 we11.
• Lagoon surface--look for:
1. undesirable vegetative ~rowth
2. floating or lodged debns
Embankment-look for:
I. 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 Jack of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential d:unage 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 ftx 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
recommended 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 or 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 thmk 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:
I. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3 . ridge berm height
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; mvc 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; allow 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 these 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 disturbed, 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 phosphores, 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 precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.

... 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 f 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 darn, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge
of wastewater and possible dam failure. .

(Design Capacity)
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to
reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
is to be applied . This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Was!e
should be analyzed before each application cyde. 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 availabie 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 erodi ng at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when
it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to
surface waters which is not allowed under OEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be
considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for
crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution. the waste should be applied to a
growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the
waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems .
The 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 w ill find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A
NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

•This N Is from animal waste only. If nutrtents from other sources such as commercial fertilizer are
applied, they must be accounted for. N must be b4sed on realfsUc yield expectation.
NOTE: The applicator Is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
Beginning In 1995 the Coastal Zone Maf!agement Act will require farmers In some eastern counties of
North Csroline to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only
addreSIIes Nitrogen.

THIS TABLE IS NOT NEEDED IF WASTE IS NOT BEING APPLIED BY IRRIGATION, HOWEVER A SIMILAR TABLE WILL BE
NEEDED FOR DRY LITTER OR SLURRY.
Your facility is designed for ill days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be
removed on the average of once every § MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being
stored in your structure exceed Elevation •see lagoon design .
. Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and
Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in detennining
the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.

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 acplication.
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 reasonab!e 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 ne9ds 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 erodil'lg less than 5 tons per acr e per year . Waste
may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per
year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field . (See FOTG
StaJ1dard 393 -Filter Strip).
5 Odors can be reduced by injer.ting the waste or disking aft~r waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger or drift from the irrigation field .
6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, rt will be soil incorpo rated
on conventionally tilied cropland . When applied to conservation tilled crops or grasslan d ,
the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season
prone to flooding. (See ''Weather and Climate i!'l 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 \\i'lich does not cause drift
from the site during application . No pending should occur in order to control odor or flies.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events , or when the
surface is frozen.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
9 f\nimal waste shall be applied on actively growir.g 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 anima! waste should also be considered.
1 0 Waste nutrients shall not be applied in ran 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
minimurn and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste
shall net 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, 1 995 shall comply with the following:
The outer perimeter of ~he 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 bounde~ry
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, 19~5), shall not be
applied closer than 25 feet to perennial wate~s. (See Standard 393-Filter Strips).
12 .~nimal waste shall not be applied closer than 1 00 feet 10 wel:s.
13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the iandowner.
14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over-spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they hcwe been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist".
Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, and on other grassed waterways , waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a
manner that courses no runoff or drift from the srte .
16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facil ities. showers, toilets. sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation wm be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.) Areas shall be fenced as necessary to
protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs. and other woody species, etc.,
are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed
and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of
erosion. leakage or discharge.
18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19 Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on site.
20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct
human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption it shouid only be applied pre-plant with no further applications animal waste
during the crop season.
21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to marl( the top and bottom elevations of the
tempoiary storage (pumping vol ume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be
managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to
mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds .
22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tasted at least annually
at crop sites where waste products are applied. N itrogen 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 and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three {3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.
