4. Response letter from Allen Canning dated 23 February 2007 with accompanying construction quality
control information from S&ME;
5. Preliminary lagoon slope evaluation letter from S&ME dated 14 March 2007
6. Email dated 16 March 2007 from Edward T. Walker.of Garver Engineers, addressing the as -built
survey information for the Allen Canning property;
7. ,Initial response letter from Allen Canning dated 14 February 2007.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) appreciates your prompt response concerning this matter and
providing a remedy to the violation(s) to avoid future compliance issues.
•
DWQ would like to take this time to remind Allen Canning Company that although the 27-acre .
storage lagoon has had the banks increased by 5 +/- feet as an emergency safeguard to minimize
water intrusion from Six Runs Creek; the original freeboard elevation of44.50 ft msl (88.13 ft msl
actual) is not to be exceeded, without being in violation of their current permit. It is recommended
that the lagoon freeboard indicator be corrected, if necessary, to reflect the surveyed conditions at
the facility.
If you .have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact either Joel S.
Shields at(910-433-333 ) oryself at (910- 433-3336).

Permit No. WQ0004268
RECEIVED
AUG 06 2007
p�R - FAYE1IEVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE
Dear Mr. Shields:
The purpose of this letter is to summarize the actions taken to address the Notice of Violation
(NOV) dated February 1, 2007„-Consistent with our discussions, this information is being
provided by August 1, 2007. The NOV discussed two violations and required corrective actions
for each. The first issue was related to the freeboard in the 27-acre storage lagoon. The second
issue was related to self -reporting of noncompliance issues.
The corrective actions and requested actions identified in NOV and a summary of actions
completed are summarized below:
Corrective Action in NOV
Summary of Actions Completed
Institute measures to decrease the
lagoon level.
Provide the Division with a plan to
reduce the lagoon level.
Report all occurrences of non-
compliance as required by the
permit.
Progress toward the increasing the freeboard and decreasing the
lagoon level is described in this letter.
To date, these measures focused on in -plant water conservation
and irrigation system management to optimize irrigation capacity.
This approach was also discussed in the February 14, 2007 letter
to North Carolina Department of Water Quality (NCDENR).
Aliens understands the requirements to report all occurrences of
non-compliance.
- General Offices -
305 East Main, P.O. Box 250, Siloam Springs, Arkansas 72761 * Tel: [phone] * Fax: [phone]

Corrective Action in NOV
Summary of Actions Completed
Prepare a response by February 15,
2007 to provide an explanation for
the violation, include a list of steps to
prevent reoccurrence, and include a
certified as -built project summary
plan for the additional 5 foot of soil
added to the 27-acre lagoon berm.
A letter dated February 14, 2007 was submitted to Mr. Stephen
Barnhardt, L.G., NCDENR, with respect to this corrective action.
In that letter, a plan to complete the as -built summary was
provided. The letter included Exhibit B, a Soil Compaction
Report from Soil & Materials Engineering Inc. for the lagoon
dike.
An informal meeting was conducted on February 15, 2007 with
the Division of Water Quality to discuss the issues. The meeting
was summarized in letter dated February 19, 2007.
A final copy of the Secondary Lagoon Slope Evaluation was
submitted to NCDENR on Apri1 20,2007.
As agreed, the freeboard elevation for the lower lagoon was set at 44.50' based on the current
benchmark used at the Aliens facility. Weekly reports have been submitted to NCDENR
indicating the amount of wastewater generated, the amount of wastewater irrigated, and the
lagoon freeboard elevation. A chart summarizing this information is attached. (See Chart 1:
Monthly Totals versus Freeboard.)
The reduction in the lagoon freeboard elevation has been primarily achieved through two key
actions:
1) Water conservation efforts in the processing plant.
2) Judicious use of the current spray irrigation system.
As noted in these weekly reports, the targeted freeboard elevation of 44.50' was achieved in
early May 2007. Since that time, the lagoon wastewater level has consistently declined.
Currently, the freeboard is about 2.5 feet lower than the agreed upon freeboard elevation. Given
the 27-acre surface area of the lagoon, this 2.5 feet represents approximately 21.9 million gallons
in wastewater and/or rainfall storage capacity. Note that weekly wastewater irrigation totals
have generally exceeded weekly wastewater generation rates. Fairly dry weather has also
contributed to the success of these efforts.
The staff at the Turkey facility has identified, implemented, and maintained several different
water conservation measures. The success of these practices is evident in the attached chart
summarizing nearly three years of wastewater generation rates and wastewater usage per case of
product. (See Chart 2: Wastewater Usage.) Currently, the Turkey facility leads the entire
company in consistent wastewater conservation efforts, on a gallons per case basis, compared to
other canning operations.
Parallel to these efforts with the current spray irrigation system, Allens has also been working on
the required evaluations to permit the expansion of the spray irrigation system to a company -
owned property on Rowan Road. Although the original soils evaluation had positive results, the
Rowan Road site has posed some unique challenges with respect to the hydrogeologic modeling
requirements. Recently, Aliens wrapped up another hydrogeologic modeling effort with S&ME.
The results of that effort still resulted in very low acceptable irrigation rates — approximately
50,000 gallons per day over 115 acres. (This equates to about 5.8 inches per year.) In contrast,

the soils evaluation supported an irrigation capacity of 618,923 gallons per day over 115.4 acres.
(This equates to about 72.5 inches per year.) Frustrated with this significant discrepancy, Aliens
and S&ME spoke to Mr. Ken Pohlig, NCDENR, regarding modeling inputs, anticipated
evapotranspiration rates for a grass cover crop, soil types, separation to groundwater, etc. Mr.
Pohlig was not able to immediately identify the source of the discrepancy, but indicated that he
would expect that permissible spray irrigation rates for the general soil types at the Rowan Road
site would typically be in the range of 26 to 30 inches per year. He indicated that, on occasion,
there can be issues between the results of the soils evaluation and the hydrogeologic model; but
there are some alternate evaluation methods that could be used for the site. A meeting has been
set up with NCDENR staff for August 13, 2007 to work on a different approach for evaluating
the Rowan Road site.
Thus, the mid-term plan is still to pursue additional spray irrigation at the Rowan Road site. If
Mr. Pohlig's estimate of 26 to 30 inches per year is in range, this would be an outlet for
approximately 80,700,000 to 93,200,000 gallons per year of wastewater. The facility is currently
averaging about 2,400,000 gallons per week of wastewater (based on May through July). So, the
Rowan Road site could potentially handle about 34 weeks worth of processing wastewater, based
on the current wastewater generation rates.
Notwithstanding these efforts on the Rowan Road site, Allens believes that the continuing water
conservation efforts have placed the facility in a better position with the current irrigation
capacity and the lagoon freeboard needs. Note the following estimates with respect to a water
balance:

In conclusion, Aliens believes that they have effectively responded to concerns identified in the
NOV in the short-term, and have an attainable plan of action in place for the mid-term. We
respectively request that the NOV be closed out without further action required.

DENR—FAYEffEVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE
This letter is in response to your correspondence dated February 1, 2007 Notice of Violation (NOV-2007
SP0004) of Permit No. WQ0004268 issued to Allen Canning Company, Sampson County.
Representatives from the State of North Carolina Division of Water Quality observed on January 12, 2007 that
the freeboard in our 27 — Acre Wastewater Storage Lagoon to be above the limit specified in our permit. The
exact degree of freeboard non-compliance is currently in question due to the recent renovation of the 27 —
Acre Wastewater Storage Lagoon dike. None the less, the wastewater currently contained within the lagoon
above the two foot permitted pre -renovation of the dike is the primary issue of concern.
As was indicated in our telephone conversation with Mr. Jim Barbour and Mr. Joel Shields they ask that we
provide the following:
a) An as built engineering summary of the renovated 27 — Acre Wastewater Storage Lagoon dike.
b) Reports of soil compaction of the 27 — Acre Wastewater Storage Lagoon dike.
c) Explanations of how the wastewater was allowed to exceed the allowable freeboard permitted
within our granted permit.
d) Optional strategies to reduce the existing freeboard to an agreed upon freeboard level.
e) A strategy to proactively prevent this violation from occurring in the future.
The following exhibits and responses are offered for your consideration and discussion, please note that each
bullet corresponds to each request as listed above:
a) We have had discussions regarding the as built siunmary of the 27.— Acre Wastewater Lagoon
Dike with the engineering firm, responsible for the design and oversight of the renovation. The
primary engineer responsible for die project has retired and his partner is unable to immediately
locate these documents as such we have commissioned Mr. Ed Walker to complete these

— 2 — February 14, 2007
documents and he will forward them to us upon completion. See attached Exhibit A letter to
Mr. Ed Walker at Garver Engineering.
b) Please note attached Exhibit B Soil Compaction report from Soil & Materials Engineering Inc.
for the as built 27 Acre Wastewater Lagoon dike.
c) Verbal communications with representatives from North Carolina Division of Water Quality
coupled with the established written freeboard limits identified in Permit WQ0004268, dated
August 2006 Section II No. 14 establishes a freeboard limit of two feet was the established
limit.
The remaining options offered as a strategy to bring the 27 Acre Wastewater Lagoon into compliance with the
current permit are premised upon the acceptance of our proposal to set our freeboard specification at and
elevation Upper Specification Limit (USL) of feet and a Lower Specification Limit (LSL) of 42 feet. Allens
will operate the 27 — Acre Wastewater Lagoon at an Upper Control Limit (UCL) of 4455 few d a Lower
Control Limit (LCL) of 43 feet.
Additionally, Allens is committed to conservation and will radically decrease its water use while operating our
facility located in Sampson County, North Carolina. Currently, a team has begun a preliminary study of the
water usage at the facility and has already made recommendations that may lead to a reduction totaling 37.5
percent in the total water usage. We are disappointed that it took a crisis such as this to open our eyes to these
savings but are excited about the progress we have made to date and look forward to this challenge in the
future.
d) Bringing the freeboard into compliance and regaining control of the 27 — Acre Wastewater
Lagoon begins with a target of wastewater elevation of 44 feet. There are many options that are
being explored and it will require that all or combinations of several options to correct this
issue.
Option 1: By permit we are allowed to irrigate approximately 415,000 gallons of water per day
(weather & conditions permitting) onto our irrigation fields. Our operational goal is to operate
our plant at 300,000 gallons of water per day, which is 27.7 percent less than we are allowed to
irrigate, thus gaining 115,000 gallons each day the plant is in �weeks
*n. By limiting production
to 1,500,000 gallons of water per week, we should be able to5,000 gallons per week.
As such, weather permitting, this option alone will re uire 9reduce the 27 — Acre
Storage Lagoon to the established UCL of 45 feet:
Option 2: When the vegetable plant is not in production wastewater will continue to be irrigated
as allowed by permit thus gaining the 415,000 gallons for each day of non -vegetable
production.
Option 3: Continue to seek additional lease land from property owners adjacent to our facilities.
Currently this process has not been fruitful but, we are optimistic and still hold that the
agricultural fields in the vicinity of our facility should be suitable for spray irrigation of the
wastewater, if agreements can be reached with the land owner(s) and the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality.
Option 4: Seek an emergency permit to irrigate onto the property Allens Inc. owns south of
Rowan Road, Sampson County. The status of these irrigation fields remain in question and the
^� studies that where began are once again in process will be completed as soon as possible.
Option 5: We have initiated discussions with Ms. Karen Rust with the North Carolina Division
of Water Quality's NPDES Permitting and Compliance Programs. She directed us to the
ncwaterquality.org website to begin the permitting process. She stated that this would only be

— 3 — February 14, 2007
allowed as a last resort and that much would have to explored via an Engineering Alternatives
Analysis must be completed to proceed.
e) Our prevention strategy for this violation is conservation and the adoption of an operational
policy predicated upon the balance of the input of water needed for processing vegetables and
the subsequent output of wastewater. These inputs and outputs shall be controlled within the
defined operational limits.
Finally, in response to Violation II: Failure to self -report the noncompliance of our permit. Please be assured
that it is our intent to be transparent and to meet each aspect of the permit. However, as noted in the violation
letter, the exact freeboard height to report is in question and our operational personnel were not aware that a
permit violation had occurred. Once the exact freeboard compliance parameters are established, we will not
allow this violation to re -occur.

SUMMARY OF MATERIALS TESTING SERVICES
Allen Canning Company
Secondary Lagoon Improvements
Turkey, North Carolina
S&ME Project No. 1053-04-142
This letter presents a summary of materials testing services .performed by S&ME, Inc. during the
construction of the SecondaryLagoon Improvements at the Allen Canning Company in Turkey,
North Carolina. Services were provided in accordance with S&ME Proposal No. CS-143-04. We
have attached copies of our test results for your review.
Field Testing and Test Results
During grading, S&ME evaluated areas prior to receiving fill to confirm their stability. Typically,
mass grading operations in the lagoon dike area consisted of placement of soil in 8 to 10 inch loose
lifts, with in -place density testing generally performed every 1 foot of fill depth. We understand a
minimum of 95 percent of the standard Proctor maximum dry density was required for all fill.
Ninety (90) in -place soil density tests were performed during fill placement within the dike area
to determine the relative degree of compaction. Test results indicate that fill was compacted to
the specified density and within moisture requirements with the exception of five tests which
were slightly outside the moisture criteria of plus/minus 3 percent of optimum moisture.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service on this project. If you have questions concerning
information presented herein, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,

storage lagoon. Provide the Division with and.obtain approval of a plan that includes the steps you will be

freeboard compliance level is currently in question due to the recent addition of soil material (estimated 5
feet) to the lagoon dike. The level should be 2 feet below the preconstruction elevation. Wastewater
contained by this new,section of the lagoon dike is of immediate concern because there is no indication:
that it has been engineered for that purpose according to documentation submitted Allen Canning: This
plan is due February 7, 2007.
