Kristen,
Thanks so much for the photographs and additional information, as well as walking me through the
situation on the phone earlier today. I spoke with Rodney Wright in Jason Byrd's office shortly after
you and I spoke today. M r Byrd is currently out of the office, but Rodney has com mtted to speaking
with him and M att Wells regarding the issues in the im poundm ent and we plan to re-engage in one
week to discuss possible options for their assistance in the m itigation of the m ost urgent issues. I'll
also work with M r Rakestraw to see if he is able to assist with any of the m itigations as well.
I will follow up with a separate em ail confirm ing this to M r Rodney with you CC'd to ensure we're all
on the same page going forward. As discussed previously, please be sure to include me on any
com m Lnications with M r Rakestraw regarding the m anagem ent of the lagoons or violations to ensure
I can work to m itigate them as quickly as possible. Mycell phone num ber (703-283-1557) is the best
way to contact m e
I will follow up with you by the end of next week (5/17/24) with an update on any updates or progress
that has been made.
Best Regards,
Wesley

Hey W esley,
I have attached the photos we took at your facility on April 22, 2024, plus one from Decem ber (large
hole with a persons shadow in em bankm ant) and one from what it use to look like in 2020 (looking
good).
As exam dies of what we are looking for, the photo "Double E lagoon" shows there is a gradual slope
on the inside on the lagoon, which is typically what we want to see and what the lagoon use to look
like in 2020. The "Lagoon Dam "photo shows the ideal look of an em bankm ant/dam with a few larger
shrubs that are easy to m o�v down and then the last photo is m owed to perfection! I hope this helps
paint a clearer picture for you, if not I can definitely find som eother photos or we can talk it through
on the phone whenever you have tim e
I suggest calling Jason Byrd (336-342-8260) at the Rockingham County Soil and Water Conservation
Offi ce for Technical Assistance on how to com bat these erosion issues.
Thanks for your tim etoday,
