Incorporation reduces odor and conserves nitrogen. Ammonia losses can be reduced from 10-30% to 1-5%

CalibrationLiquid Manure Spreaders:
Spread at least one full load of waste, preferably in a square or rectangular field pattern for ease of measuring, with normal overlaps.
Measure the length and width of coverage, recognizing that the outer fringe areas of the coverage will receive much lighter applications than the overlapped areas.

Liquid Application Systems Advantages
provide more transport mobility
allow direct soil injection
more flexibility can be less expensive
Disadvantages requires more time and
labor than irrigation
higher tractor HP requirement if injecting
require improved travel roads and proper soil trafficability
higher operating costs

Pump and Haul Waste Management Systems Loading areas are necessary to:
protect equipment and operators avoid damaging the lagoon dike or embankment
Care should be taken to minimize spills during loading and transport.
Calibration is the combination of settings and travel speed needed to apply waste at a desired rate and to ensure uniform application. You must know the spreader capacity.

Solids Application
Common methods include:
Broadcast to surface Broadcast/Incorp.
Nutrient Management Planner Certification Program
Spreader Calibration:
Do you know the rate?
Clemson Study
How about the spreader pattern?

Calibration of Manure Spreaders
Applicators can apply manure, bedding, and wastewater at varying rates and patterns, depending on: forward travel and/or PTO speed gear box settings gate openings spread widths overlaps

BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
Best Management Practices are practices determined to be cost effective methods of preventing or reducing NPS pollution.
For waste management, they optimize nutrient uptake by plants and minimize nutrient impact on the environment.
A trained agronomist, soil scientist, or conservationist is best qualified to assess whether a specific BMP is appropriate for a given site.
Nutrient Management Planner Certification Program
BMPs?Erosion is the number one source of nonpoint source pollution in Georgia.
BMPs should include erosion control to reduce movement of soil and nutrients. Sediment is a pollutant, sediment carries nutrients, and loss of top soil reduces nutrient use by crop.
Nutrient Management Planner Certification Program
BMPs in CNMPs
Table C1 in Template recognizes many BMPs and lists twelve specifically.
You may add any others you like. 1) Tissue Analysis/Plant Sampling
Good way to refine rate 2) Injection or incorporation 3) Manure Treatments like Alum
Nutrient Management Planner Certification Program
4) Conservation/Reduced TillageReduces runoff and sediment losses

BMPs 7) Vegetated Waterways/critical area plantings: grassed waterways can reduce nutrient movement to ditches, streams, and rivers.

BMP: 10) Winter Cover/Scavenger Crops
Protect soil from erosion over winter
Crops scavenge residual nitrogen and phosphorus
May be good crop to graze.
No-till planting into winter cover
Nutrient Management Planner Certification Program
Crop ManagementIt is important to reduce application rates to account for cattle manure additions.
BMPs 11) Rotational Grazing
Nutrient Management Planner Certification Program
Windbreaks can reduce lagoon effluent and odor drift from land application sites.
12) Application Timing

BMPs?
Animals with access to surface water can be a direct source of pollution.

Record keeping Good records are essential:
For regulations To protect yourself To improve over time
CNMPs are PLANS Records document actions
Monitor, Correct, Document Computer record-keeping programs.
Nutrient Management Planner Certification Program
Required Records
The following records must be available at the farm to satisfy the Environmental Protection Division: By rules or permit Individual permits may differ Retain for three years Record who and when sampled Amend CNMP with substantive changes
Nutrient Management Planner Certification Program
Annual Checklist & Log Manure storage not leaking Manure spreading equipment/transport
equipment okay. Manure application according to plan
Update CNMP Totals for field budgets
Annual Report will require manure generated, offsite transport, acres used and reported in NMP and any spills
Nutrient Management Planner Certification Program
Other records from NPDES permit
Inspections, findings, and maintenance Semi-annual lagoon effluent (TKN&NO3)
and monitoring wells (TKN,NO3, depth) Annual P and pH for each field Weekly lagoon and freeboard
Daily rainfall and land application events
Response to spills (posting # req’d)
Nutrient Management Planner Certification Program
Lagoon Maintenance Inspections
When inspecting waste inlet pipes, recycling pipes, and overflow pipes, look for: separation of pipe joints cracks or breaks accumulation of minerals overall pipe condition
Record berm conditions and liquid levels
Nutrient Management Planner Certification Program
Manure Application Records
Important notations: Date and time Field ID Source and quality Application rate and number of loads
For offsite situations record buyer, intended use, amount, and nutrient content. Also supply directions for use.
Nutrient Management Planner Certification Program
Record Keeping (Other req)
Document employee training .
Spill reporting may require BOD, TSS, and amount of discharge- be prepared.
Closure must be reported within three months.
Nutrient Management Planner Certification Program
Beneficial Records
The following records are not required but should be part of your CNMP: map of farm fields including waste
application fields and acreage animal population crop yields and land application BMP’s water quality/ environmental assessments Calibration procedures and results
Nutrient Management Planner Certification Program
Example Records for Liquid Manure Applications IRR-1: Lagoon liquid irrigation field
record is to be used to record each irrigation event.
IRR-2: Cumulative lagoon liquid irrigation field record is to record the total annual waste application to one field per crop cycle.
Nutrient Management Planner Certification Program
Similar Records for Slurry and Solid Manure Applications SLUR-1 and SLUR 2: Liquid
manure slurry field record is to be used to record each waste application event if the producer is using a slurry or pump and haul system.
SLD-1 & SLD-2: Solid manure
Nutrient Management Planner Certification Program
Example Irrigation Records Using IRR-1 and IRR-2:
Joe Pigford maintains a 3000 head feeder-to-finish operation.
Estimated volume of lagoon liquid generated annually is approximately 2.8 million gallons.
Waste analyses: February 8, 19962.5 lb PAN/1000 gal April 10, 19962.5 lb PAN/1000 gal
Nutrient Management Planner Certification Program
Example Irrigation Records Using IRR-1 and IRR-2:
He irrigates two crops with wastewater using a traveling gun that applies 300 gpm. Tract T1004: corntraveling gun pulls are
considered Fields 1 to 4, 6 acres each. He wants to apply 100 lbs of PAN/acre.
Tract T1005: bermuda haytraveling gun pulls are considered Fields 5 and 6, which are 8 and 4 acres respectively. He wants to apply 300 lbs of PAN/acre.

Review
Controlling Runoff and Erosion is important because sediment is a pollutant, it carries nutrients, and degrades top soil.
Always apply manure when crops can use it. Manure with highest nutrient content should go
to fields furthest away. Minimum records should include application
date, nutrient content, amount applied, field, and weather conditions.
Nutrient Management Planner Certification Program
Review When choosing application equipment, consider
nutrient losses, operating costs, uniformity of application, odor, and time of application.
Calibration can determine application rate, uniformity, and overlap and lane spacing.
Application rate is just the amount applied divided by the area it was applied to.
Surface applications of manure generally result in higher nutrient losses.
Nutrient Management Planner Certification Program
Review Record keeping can prevent problems, document
compliance and improve efficiency. Suggested records include application logs,
rainfall, animal populations, storage inspections, equipment maintenance, and water quality data.
Application records should include soil and manure tests, yields, application information and budgets.
Transport should include amount sold, buyer, and nutrient content.
