2.2. Production Area Conservation Practices Producers are working to address several areas that need improvement to better manage rainfall and runoff. The producers have recent installed concrete curbing around areas of the lot that previously had allowed surface runoff from the open lots. The producers have taken a large dirt lot area out of service and are going to be reseeding those areas back to pasture. The producers are planning on installing concrete curbing around the existing concrete silage stacking area. With the additions of curbing around the silage area liquid runoff will be directed to a proposed reception pit where the runoff will be pumped to the existing slurry store. Producer is also looking to install guttering to several of the builds in order to limit the rainfall onto the open lots.

Production Area Conservation Practices (non waste storage)

Feed Storage Areas

• Areas used to store feedstuffs such as silage, wet distillers grain, or gluten need to be maintained so that runoff is prevented. Si lage bags if maintained correctly should not be a source of runoff.

Location • Concrete silage pad is located on the south side of the facility. Plan is to install curbing and a

reception pit to this structure so that rainfall can be collected and transferred to existing slurry store.

Operation and Maintenance

• Berms, ditches, or other diversion or control methods should be checked to insurer structural

• integrity. • Perimeter of the feed storage area should be checked regularly to insure that run-on and run-off

controls are in working order.

• Area should be checked for proper drainage.

• Employees should be instructed to repair or report malfunctions or damage.

• Pumps are to be checked and serviced as necessary.

• Feed covers are kept in good repair or replaced if necessary.

• Plastic from covers are to be collected and prevented from clogging feed area runoff controls.

• Spoiled feed should be disposed of, covered or appropriately managed.

• Surface offeed storage area is managed to prevent infiltration of silage and feed leachate to underlying soil.

Manure Transfer (agitator) NRCS Practice Code 634

• A system using structures, conduits or equipment to convey byproducts (wastes) from agricultural operations to points of usage.

Design

• Agitators installed to facilitate pumping of liquid or slurry waste for transfer shall be sized to provide agitation of the volume of storage, and shall be compatible with the type and consistency of the material. Requirements for agitator sizing, installation and operation shall be based on manufacturer's recommendations.

Operation and Maintenance

• Follow all operation and maintenance instructions provided by the manufacturer.

• Operate the agitator/pump at or below the specified maximum power rating for the system.

• Liquid or slurry material shall be adequately agitated prior to transfer for the purpose of land application both on and off the farm. For agitation in a lined holding pond, ensure that the agitator does not damage the liner.

• Manure agitation can produce toxic gases in buildings built above the pit. Toxic gases can also emanate in buildings situated by the pit and/or connected to the pit by an evacuation line. For agitation in an enclosed storage pit, tum off all potential sources of ignition, provide adequate ventilation, and ensure all people are out of the building.

• Do not enter into a manure pit at any time.

• Make sure that no person is in close proximity to any moving parts before engaging the drive.

• Drain and/or provide for cold weather operation of the system.

• Follow your Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan (CNMP) for scheduling and amount of land application of waste material.

• Minimize flies and other insects and odors during the transfer of material.

Underground Outlet NRCS Practice Code 620 • A conduit or system of conduits installed beneath the surface of the ground to convey surface

water to a suitable outlet. Alternatives Discussed

• None Location

• Proposed underground outlet is to be used to carry roof runoff water away from the buildings. Location of the proposed drain tile is shown on the facility plot plan.

Design

• Design should meet NRCS 620 design standards.

• The design capacity of the underground outlet is based on requirements of the structure or

• practice it serves. Operation and Maintenance

• Periodic inspections, especially immediately following significant runoff events, to keep inlets, trash guards, collection boxes and structures clean and free of materials that can reduce flow.

• Prompt repair or replacement of damaged components.

• Repair or replacement of inlets damaged by farm equipment.

• Repair of leaks and broken or crushed lines to ensure proper functioning of the conduit.

• Periodic checking of the outlet and animal guards to ensure proper functioning.

• Repair of eroded areas at the pipe outlet.

• Maintenance of adequate backfill over the conduit.

• To maintain the permeability of surface materials on blind inlets, periodic scouring or removal and replacement ofthe surface soil layer may be necessary.

Manure Transfer (Concrete Alleys and Curbs) NRCS Practice Code 634

• A system using structures, conduits or equipment to convey byproducts (wastes) from agricultural operations to points of usage.

Alternatives Discussed

• None

Location

• Shown on proposed plot plan. Design

• Plans and specifications for installing waste transfer systems shall be in accordance with the NRCS 634 standard and shall describe the requirements for applying the practice to achieve its

intended purpose. Operation and Maintenance

• Follow your Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan (CNMP).

• Remove solids from alleys and reception pits during management operations.

• Minimize flies and other insects and odors during the transfer of material.

• Do not dispose of dead animals, greases, syringes, or other wastes in the waste transfer facility.

• Inspect after significant storm events and at least twice a year to identify repair and maintenance needs Inspect concrete sumps, reception pits, curbs, ramps, and alleys for separations and/or

cracks, which would indicate potential failure. Repairs should be made immediately.

• Check backfill areas around concrete structures for unusual settlement. Determine if settlement is caused by backfill consolidation or failure of concrete walls. Repair walls or fill, as appropriate.

• Perform routine maintenance of all mechanical components in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. Inspect and test pipes, pumps, valves, gates, and other appurtenances. Repair as needed.

• Check for leaks and improper operation. Check for debris, minerals, algae, and other materials that may restrict system flow. Repair any damage as soon as possible after being noted.

• Maintain a good vegetative cover of recommended species on backfill around structures. If the vegetative cover is damaged, it should be reestablished as soon as possible. The vegetative cover should be mowed twice a year to stimulate a vigorous plant growth.

Roof Structures (Roof Gutter - Medium) NRCS Practice Code 558

• Gutter system with downspouts at designed intervals. The Drainage area to the gutter is between 2,000and 10,000 square feet.

Location

• Shown on proposed plot plan. Design

• Estimated Quantities o Linear feet of guttering -1,207 Ft.

• The minimum design capacity for roof runoff structures shall be a 1O-year storm frequency, 5­minute rainfall precipitation event, except where excluding roof runoff from manure management facilities. In that case, a 25-year frequency, 5-minute precipitation event shall be used to design roof runoff structures (Refer to Agricultural Waste Management Field Handbook, NEH Part 651Chapter 10 Appendix lOB). When gutters are used, the capacity of the downspout(s) must equal or exceed the gutter flow rate.

• Construction operations shall be carried out in a manner and sequence that erosion and air and water pollution are minimized and held within legal limits.

• The completed job shall present a workmanlike appearance and shall conform to the line, grades, and elevations shown on the drawings or as staked in the field.

• All operations shall be carried out in a safe and skillful manner. Safety and health regulation shall be observed and appropriate safety measures used. Contractor shall be assured that all state laws concerning buried utilities have been met.

• Documentation of materials used (rock or concrete delivery tickets, lumber grade, roofing material, etc) shall be saved and provided to NRCS.

Operation and Maintenance

• Inspect after significant storm events and at least twice a year to identify repair and maintenance

needs. All repairs identified should be completed immediately.

• Check condition of fasteners, structural members and roofing material. Repair or replace any damaged components promptly.

• Keep the gutters and downspouts clear of debris.

• Ifthe roof runoff is directed to an underground outlet, ensure that the inlet to the underground outlet is kept clear of debris and animal entry. Make sure that all protective guards remain in

place.

• Protect the structure from damage by farm equipment and livestock. Immediately repair any vandalism, vehicular, or livestock damage to the roof structure.

• If erosion occurs on the ground surface around the posts, below the gutters or at the downspout outlet, repair immediately to prevent damage to the system and maintain positive drainage.

Waste Storage Facility NRCS Practice Code 313

• A waste storage impoundment made by constructing an embankment and/or excavating a pit or dugout, or by fabricating a structure.

Location • Shown on plot plan

Design • Design of any proposed waste storage structure is required to meet NRCS practice code 313

standards. Operation and Maintenance

• Check backfill areas around facilities often for excessive settlement. Determine if settlement is caused by consolidation, piping or failure of the structure walls or floor. Necessary repairs must be made. Refer to safety items.

• Check walls and floor often for cracks and/or separations and make needed repairs. • Check earth berms and embankments for sloughing, erosion or settlement. Maintain embankment

and backfill elevations as specified in the design. • Check a minimum of two times a year and when the facility is empty. Maintain design elevation

of berms and fill. • Outlets offoundation drains should be checked frequently and kept open. The outflow from these

drains should be checked periodically when the storage facility is being used to determine if there is leakage from the facility into these drains. Leakage may be detected by the color and smell of the outflowing liquid, by lush dark green growth of vegetation around the outlet, by the growth of algae in the surface ditch or by the vegetation being killed by the outflowing liquid. If leakage is detected, repairs should be planned and made to prevent the possible contamination of groundwater. Refer to safety items when planning and making repairs. Quarterly samples should be collected from foundation drains as required by the Livestock Management Facilities Act.

• Divert surface water away from the storage facility. Check the channels and berms of the clean water diversions around the barnyard., buildings and storage facility frequently. Channels must be protected from erosion and berms must be maintained at proper height so the diversion channels have adequate capacity. These channels and benns should not be used as haul roads unless they were designed and constructed as haul roads.

• Check frequently for burrowing animals around buildings, structures, benns and backfill. Remove them and repair any damage.

• Inspect haul roads and approaches to and from the storage facility frequently to determine the need for stone, gravel or other stabil izing material.

• Do not allow runoff from loading areas and/or spills to flow into streams or road ditches. • Install and maintain a marking or gauge post that clearly shows the design, one-half, and full

levels of the facility. • Repair or replace any rusted or damaged metal and paint. • A good vegetative cover of recommended grasses should be maintained on earth berms and

embankments. [fthe vegetative cover is damaged, it should be reseeded as soon as possible. The vegetative cover should be mowed at least twice a year to control weeds, encourage vigorous

• growth and discourage rodent activity. • Immediately repair any vandalism, vehicular or livestock damage to the facility, the surrounding

area, or any appurtenances. • Pump-out shall commence when the deep pit facilities are approximately l' from the bottom of

the slats and should continue until the depth is reduced to approximately 1'.

2.5. Normal Mortality Management

To decrease non-point source pollution of surface and ground water resources, reduce the impact of odors that result from improperly handled animal mortality, and decrease the likelihood of the spread of disease or other pathogens, approved handling and utilization methods shall be implemented in the handling of normal mortality losses. If on-farm storage or handling of animal mortality is done, NRCS Standard 316, Animal Mortality Facility, will be followed for proper management of dead animals.

Plan (or Proper Management ofDead Animals

Normal mortality for the animal feeding operation must be properly handled for both odor control and biological security of the operation. Composting, incineration, and rendering are acceptable methods for mortality disposal. This facility uses rendering.

2.6. Planned Manure Exports off the Farm

For the 2013 crop year 960,000 Gallons of waste was transferred offsite to another farm for manure application. No further transfers of waste offsite are planned.
