Dear Sir:
FEB ? 8 1998
F�Y�LLE
On January 22, 1998, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the DWQ was
conducting a follow-up inspection of Quality Farms. The inspection revealed that no
winter crop (small grain) had been established. The fields were saturated and Avater
was standing in fields and ditches. The irrigation equipment was operating and
animal waste was ponding in the spray field. Also, the lagoon did not have the
required freeboard.
Quality Farms was requested to address the following:
1. Immediately establish a suitable winter crop for waste application.
2. Lower the lagoon level to the required freeboard on a suitable waste
application field when weather and soil moisture permit.
3. Contact a soil drainage expert to evaluate the soils in the spray fields to
determine if the site will respond to drainage.
The Following actions have been taken:
1. The winter crop (small grain) was never established due to wet soil
conditions. By the time the soybeans were gathered the fields were to

saturated to work. This year we will have corn which will be harvested in
September. This should allow us to work the fields before the wet weather
comes.
2. The lagoon level will be lowered to the required freeboard as soon as weather
and soil moisture permit.
3. Sam Warren (Bladen County NRCS) and I are working together to try and
alleviate the soil wetness problem. Mr. Warren visited the farm on 6,
February, 1998. 'vVe should have a plan in the immediate future.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

On July 17, 1997, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality
inspected the Quality swine facility. it was observed that the waste application fields were not
planted in the required crops as identified in the CAWMP. This situation requires that a new plan
be issued by a technical specialist to meet aff new criteria in regard to waste management. You are
requested to contact a technical specialist immediately to address possible crop options and
immediately plant the required crop as identified in your new CAWW for waste application to
prevent an emergency situation due to high freeboard. In addition, you are requested to address
the following:
1. Consult with a technical specialist for assistance in record keeping in regard to waste
application.
2. The lagoon dikes need planting of a cover grass in several areas to prevent erosion.
3. The minimum required freeboard is 19 inches. At the time of the inspection there was exactly
19 inches of freeboard in your lagoon. To prevent future violations you should immediately
schedule to begin waste application as soon as practical.
Please notify this office in writing on or before August 22, 1997 at the address below as to the
actions taken or proposed to be taken to resolve this deficiency. Nothing in this letter should be
taken as absolving this facility of the responsibility and liability of any violations that have or may

Waste spill reported west of Elizabethtown
By Jack McDuffie, Staff Writer ApdI 17, 2001
A hog farm west of Elizabethtown, Quality Farm facility number 09-156, had a
discharge of approximately 15,000 gallons of hog waste into an unnamed tributary of
Brown's Creek in late March. The farm is located off N.C. 87, about three miles west of
Elizabethtown.
I of 2 4/19/2001 8:17 AM

Fw:'[checchiVgs] NC, Waste spill reported west of Elizabethtown
According to Division of Water Quality (DWQ) field representative John Hasty, the spill was
detected by himself and a co-worker making a routine visit to the facility to check the lagoon
level.
"We noticed that waste water had pooled in the field and was running into a ditch that
drained into a local branch," said Hasty. 'This (the day of the discovery) was Friday, the
event happened on Wednesday of that week."
Hasty says that he and his co-worker took samples of the water running into the ditch and
determined that the samples contained elevated levels of fecal coliform, a good indication
that animal waste had run into the stream.
Hasty says that a farm employee was notified of the discovery' but was not in charge of
operating the spray field equipment.
The DWQ representatives contacted the farm owner, Steve Tatum of Elizabethtown, the
following day.
Hasty says Tatum stated that the spill occurred when the farm was doing routine spraying in
the another spray field and the operator was unaware that the valve and not been cut off to
the spray equipment in a back field.
As a result, the operator was unaware of the spraying in that location for about four hours.
The equipment was cut off when the spill was noticed, Hasty says.
Hasty says it was impossible to determine exactly how much wastewater spilled into the
ditch; however, estimates are that about 15,000 gallons may have spilled into the ditch.
Notification of the spill was released by the owner in accordance with the provisions of
General Statute 143.215C, Article 21.
Hasty says the enforcement package on the spill has been forwarded to DWQ to determine if
penalties will be assessed. Penalties for wastewater discharge are assessed by DWQ
Director Tommy Stephens.
Attempts to contact Tatum regarding the spill have been unsuccessful as of press time.

Dear Mr. Heath,
To comply with the statutes of the general permit, I fun writing to inform you of the
events during the week beginning March 19, 2001. At Quality Fauns on Monday roorning the
pits were pulled on four of the houses which resulted in a 3 inch rise in the lagoon level_ The
lagoon level at Quality Farms was measured and documented by my service manager later to be
19.5 inches (19 inches being the top of the first teed pipe)_ The recycle p cps %%mold take all
night to refill the pits, but when full, the lagoon level would have been app�oe.►A3V s.
The rain that came Monday and Tuesday measured at the farm was 1.5 to 1.75 inches. _X&
lagoon was not in the freeboard at any time that I am aware of If it had den, I wauld'Jwc
contacted DWQ as required by the general permit.
On Monday, I instructed my farm manager to move one of the reels to the back side of the
farm so that I could irrigate at a later time when this area dried out which he did. On Wednesday,
I irrigated with the other reel in the front field and did not observe any problem of ponding or
run-off. On Friday, my farm manager called and stated that DWQ inspectors had visited the farts
and found ponding and run-off in the back field_ I told my manager that I had not been irrigating
in the back field. I did not know until then that the valve to the back field which I keep closed
when i irrigate the front fields had been opened by my farm manager earlier in the week. The
irrigation I conducted was at right and I checked on the reel several tin=-' t I'ltad-no=idea that
the reel at the back of the farm was running. I realize that I made a mistake in not doubW
checking that valve, but the ponding and run-off which occurred was not &tentmnal. I.wiifi in the
future make certain the appropriate valves are off and only irrigate at night when ali§o164 y
necessary, -
I have worked diligently to manage this farm in the best way possible and I sinmely regret
this problem occurred. Please contact me if you need any additional information.
Sincerely,
Steven W. Tatum.

This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation/Notice of intern issued to Quality
Farms (FN 09-156) on April 18, 2001. Enclosed are the documents you requested in your letter.
In addition, the items you asked to be addressed on this farm have or are being evaluated.
As stated in my previous letter to you, the irrigation conducted in the back field was
unintentional. The valve to this part of the irrigation system was open when it should not have
been. I normally take much more care 'n the operation of the irrigation system, but during this
period, my wife was experiencing difficulties with her pregnancy and had been on bed rest for
several weeks. I realize that this does not absolve me from my responsibMes, however, the
extenuating circumstances during that ,period definitely had an impact on the performance of every
daily task. I believe that the state inspection reports show that, with the exception of the heavy
rain from EI Nino, this farm has been in compliance and managed very well. Therefore, I do not
believe that enforcement action is necessary in this case.
I have worked diligently to manage this farm in the best way possible and I sincerely regret
this problem occurred but I do not feel enforcement action is justified. Please contact me if you
need any additional information.
Sincerely,
Steven W. Tatum

SUBJECT: Notice of Violation/Noticeof Intent
Quality Swine Farm, Inc.
Facility No. 09-156
Permit No. AWS090156
Bladen County
Dear Mr. Tatum:
You are hereby notified that, having been permitted to have a non discharge permit for the
subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217, you have been found to be in
violation of your 2H .0217 Permit.
On March 23, 2001, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality, conducted a follow-up inspection of your swine farm (Iocated off Highway 87 in Bladen
County) to confirm that the high lagoon freeboard observed on March 19, 2001 had been corrected.
The inspection revealed that the irrigation reel and gun had been relocated to a waste application which
is typically wet and had a poor winter crop (small grain) established. The field was saturated and water
was standing in the fields and ditches. The irrigation equipment had been operating since the previous
inspection and animal waste was ponding in the spray field and running into the adjacent ditch;
however, the lagoon did have the required freeboard. The irrigation event was reported to have
occurred on March 21, 2001, Wednesday evening, approximately 40 hours prior to the discovery by
DWQ inspectors and immediately after a two (2) inch rainfall event that occurred Monday evening
through Wednesday morning of that week. In addition, the irrigation reel and spray gun were not
properly set up and had the system been operational (engaged), wastewater would have been irrigated
into the canal ditch for approximately two-thirds of the pull length.

The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed:
Inspect, repair and maintain the irrigation equipment in the proper operation condition.
Operate the irrigation equipment in accordance with design and the CAWMP.
Irrigate on a suitable waste application field when weather and field conditions permit.
3. Contact a soil drainage expert to evaluate the soils in the spray fields to determine if the site
will respond to drainage. Evaluate the drainage outlets to determine if adequate outlets are
available and develop a drainage plan to alleviate the soil wetness problem.
4. Plant and maintain the required buffers between the waste application fields and the canal
ditches.
Submit a copy of freeboard records from January 1, 2000 to present.
6. Submit a copy of the irrigation records from January 1, 2000 to present.
Failure to comply with the above conditions may result in the facility's General Permit being
revoked and being required to obtain an individual non discharge permit for the facility. Please be
advised that this notice does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking enforcement actions
for this violation or any past or future violation.
You are hereby notified that based on the above information, the Division of Water Quality is
considering forwarding recommendation to the Director for consideration of enforcement for this
violation. Furthermore, the Division of Water Quality has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not
more than $25,000.00 per day per violation.
If you have an explanation for this violation that you wish to present to this office, please .
forward a detailed explanation, in writing, of the events noted and why you feel that this office should
not proceed with recommendation for enforcement. This response should be received by this office on
or before May 3. 2001.
Information provided to this office will be reviewed and if enforcement is still deemed
appropriate, your explanation will be forwarded to the Director with the enforcement package for his
consideration.

Dear NCDEHNR,
On July 17, 1997, DWQ inspected Quality Famu in Elizabethtown. It was obm vW that the
waste application fields were not planted in the required crops as identified In the CA%VW. In
addition, Quality Farms vas requested to address the following:
1. Consult with a technical specialist for assistance in record keeping in regard to waste
application.
2. The lagoon dikes need planting of a cover grass in several areas to prevent erosion.
3. At time of inspection there was exactly 19 inches of freeboard.
The following actions have been taken to resolve these deficiencies:
1. On August 5, 1997, Technical Specialist Jimmy R. Vinson with Brown's of Carolina, issued
a CAWW. This plan addresses the crops being grown at the present time.
2. In regards to record keeping of waste application, there are complete records on file of all
applications. These records were not present at the time of inspection due to a conflict in
time with the "operator in charge". He was out of town at the time, therefore, I was
unable to produce records.
3. The lagoon dikes had several areas of bare ground. These areas have been fertilized and
reseeded. Most areas now have a good stand of grass. The very small bare spots are still
being worked and will continue to be worked until all areas are covered. This process is
time consuming due to the amount of clay in the dikes.
4. The lagoon level at the time of inspection was 19 inches, This level was high due to the
fact that we, had no irrigation pipe in the fields. However, since the inspection we have
installed 3500 feet of pipe and pumped whenever practical. The lagoon level is now about
28 inches,
Thanks for your cooperation in this matter.
Respectfully,
Steven Tatum

Page 3.
23. Are pollutants discharged in the waters of the State? YES
If so, how? On March 19, 2001, John HastL_and Bob Heath inspected the Quality Farm.
Inc., lagoon to verify that a safe level existed due to the recent rains and at the time of the
inspection the lagoon level was _determined to be at approximately_18.5 inches. After
several inches of rain was reported on March 20 - March 22, 2001 John Hasty and Bob
Heath reinspected the lagoon level on March_23, 2001 since _the _owner had not reported
the high lagoon level. Upon arriving at the facility the -lagoon level_ was determined to
have been lowered approximately 2_ inches and now had 21 inches of freeboard.
Inspection of the waste application fields adjacent to the lagoon were conducted after
observing a irrigation reel and gun had been relocated since the previous inspection on
March 19, 2001. The inspection of this waste application field was conducted and
wastewater was observed ponded across the entire field. Further inspection identified
wastewater discharging into the canal ditch adjacent to the field and running into a
channelized creek (an unnamed tributary) and leaving the property. An inspection of the
irrigation equipment was conducted and the gun cart was observed to have two (2) tires
off the rims and the front (steering wheel was buried in the mud. Mr. Tatum was contacted
to determine when the irrigation event had occurred and he stated that the system was
started on Wednesday, March 21 at approximately 5:00 PM and it should be noted that the
discovery of the discharge was not identified for _40 hours subsequent b,Y DWQ personnel.
(See attached photos).
24. Do or have discharges occurred in response to a storm event less severe than the 25-
year,24 hour storm? Yes, The facility reported applying waste on March 21, 2001 which
resulted in over -application and nonding in the. field. On March 19, 2001 inslectors
conducted an inspection of the farm lagoon_ freeboard. and observed_ the level at
approximately 18.5 inches. The inspectors returned on March 23 2001 to verify that the
lagoon level was within the required freeboard and observed the lagoon had 19 inches of
freeboard after Qproximately 2 inches of rainfall. An inspection of the waste aRI21ication
field adjacent to the lagoon where an irrigation reel had been located subsequent to the
March 19 2001 inspection revealed that wastewater was ponded throughout the field and
run-off was occurrina into an untributar canal ditch).
25. What is the degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to public
health,or to private property resulting from the violation? The discharge has caused the
introduction of nurrients into the receiving surface waters that will cause or add to the
possibility of algal blooms and accelerated eutrophication of the slow moving waters of
the receiving stream. Also, samples taken indicateelevated fecal coliform levels
downstream of the facility.

***PLEASE SEE ATTACHED COMPLETE LAB RESULTS
AND PHOTOGRAPHS FOR MORE INFORMATION***
There are no known public health issues at this time. Waste discharges of this nature
max, based on comments from Dr. M.A. Mixson, North Carolina Department of
Agriculture, Veterinary Division, transport swine diseases if conditions are suitable.
26. What is the duration and gravity of the violation?: As mentioned previously, the system was
placed in the field after a two (2) inch rainfall event and was not prop erly positioned and the
motor designed to retrieve the gun_ cart was not startedAsee_attached photo). Consequently,
run-off probably occurred almost immediately due to the saturated condition of the field and
the poor maintenance condition of the equipment_Based on this information and the fact that
the DWQ did not identify the problem until approximately 40 hours after the irritation event,
it can be surmised that waste had probably-heen_dischgU:Jng for 40 hours.
27. Water Quality Assessment: At the time of the inspection, the discharge flow was minimal
at the points it reached the channelized creek to Browns Creek, making up an estimated 10 %
of the total flow in the creek.
28. What is the cost of rectifying the damage?: The writer observed no areas that cleanup
activities would be recommended. There has been no report of downstream impacts outside
the area of the investigation.
29. What is the amount of money saved by noncompliance?: Based on observations made during
the investigations, no cost was significantly decreased by over -applying the waste. Although,
if enough waste was over -applied, it may by ave allowed for fewer spraying_events in the future
and therefore less man hours consumed.

Page 5.
30. Was the violation committed willfully or intentionally?:
YES— NO X
Explain: Although it does seem that the irrigation equipment operator should not have been
irrigating on any of the waste application fields on this _farm immediately after a_ rainfall
event, and should have been aware of where he was irrigating in the dark there is no_proof
that this discharge was intentional.
31, What is the prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs ove r
which Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority?
NOD: July 21, 1997, lagoon dikes needing_a cover grass and need to maintain a freeboard
of 19 inches or greater continuously.
NOV: January 29 1998 no cover crop established and lagoon freeboard less than the
required 19 inches, and contact a drainage expert to alleviate the soil wetness condition.
Cam liance Inspection 4 Jeffrey Brown: June 9 1999 establish a suitable grass cover on
lagoon dikes wastewater l2onded in waste aPplication fieid,and waste applied outside the
application windows
NOD: March 17, 2000, failure to maintain the required lagoon freeboard.
NOV: April 18, 2001, inspect, repair, and maintain the irrigation equipment and operate in
accordance with the CAWMP, irrigate on a suitable waste application when conditions allow,
contact a soil drainage expert for assistance in alleviation of the soil wetness_ condition, plant
and maintain the required buffers adjacent to the canal.

34. What is the violator's degree of cooperation or recalcitrance:
Mr. Tatum has complied with the notification requirements. of Public Notice and the five day
report. Due to the findings by the DWQ_it would appear that Mr. Tatum should have
identified the problem with the irrigation event if he had inspected the operation in
accordance with the Operator in Charge requirements. The inspectors feel that Mr. Tatum
should have been aware of the irrigation event on the field in question since the pump and
reel were in close roximi . The inspectors saw no evidence Ihat thg other irrigation reel had
been moved since the previou5 ins ection on March 19 2001. In addition the reel and grun
cart had not been positioned in accordance with the irrigation design and due, to the disrepair
of the gun cart the reel would not have functioned (traveled) if activated.„ The inspectors
determined from their inspection that this was an intentional act to Iower_ the lagoon to
prevent a high freeboard violation and Mr. Tatum was not anticipating the DWO to reinspect
the facility_
35. Are there any Mitigating Circumstances?: NO
36. Assessment Factors:
a. IWC : Visually Estimated at 1 9�t the confluence point between ditches draining waste from
the spray site and Browns Creek.
b. Receiving Stream: Browns Creek, Class "C Waters
c. Damage Yes _ No X (Based on observations at the time of the investigation)
If YES, include report from Wildlife Resources Commission.

Page 7.
37 Include a copy of any Designation letter signed by Director.
38. Recommendations Made to Owner/Operator:
1- Immediately cease pumping waste on to the fields.
2- Take immediate action to prevent any future discharge of waste.
3- Contact NRCS to obtain technical assistance if necessary.
39. Recommendations for further DWQ Action:
- Notice of Violation (Forwarded April 18, 2001I
- Enforcement Action
- Reinspection
40. Other Comments: In summary, it is the opinion of this writer that the discharge of
waste was not accidental due to the positioning disrepair, and operation of the sprU gun and
the close proximity of the irrigation reel and irrigation pump that should have allowed the
operator a view of the irrigation equipment as well as hearing the reel and ,gun operation. The
recent rainfall event of approximately 1.75 inches reported by the owner of the facility is less
than that reported by a neighboring swine farmer less than 1 mile away who reported 2.50
inches, however, the event occurred to within a few hours of the initiation of the irrigation_
event. The inspectors did not observe the other irrigation reel having been moved since the
previous site visit of Monday March 19, 2001 which is the reported etc uipment intentional
operated on March 21, 2001.

SUBJECT: Operation Review Notice of Referral for
The Hanover Farm,
Facility Number 82-307
Sampson County
Dear Mr. O'Reilly,
IWA

NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF
ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL ResouRCES
JM 2 8 2001 1
DWQ
On June 15, 2001, an operation review was conducted of The Hanover Farm, facility number
82-307, in Sampson County. This review, undertaken in accordance with G.S. t43-215.10D,
is one of two routine site visits scheduled for all subject animal operations in 2001. Staff from
the Division of Water Quality will conduct a separate compliance inspection.
During the operation review, the following items were noted:
• The wheat was still in the back spray field. The corn was never planted in accordance
with the CAWMP. There is only a 500 pound deficit for this farm according to the waste
plan, and therefore the corn crop is needed to meet nitrogen requirements.
• The waste plan is written for Bermuda hay. The front bermuda spray field was being
grazed during the operation review.
• The nursery lagoon freeboard was 15 inches during the review.
• The Bermuda spray fields beside the lagoons and hog houses have very weak stands
of Bermuda. The soil sample results for these fields were calling for greater than 3 tons
of lime.

- The nursery lagoon marker is reading 17 inches. The actual freeboard is only 15 inches. The marker is set to the lowest spot on the
agoon wall, but the identifier arm is set to high giving a false reading. Need to replace both markers. The finishing lagoon marker is the
ame way.
7- Need to cut the walls of both lagoons down to the toe of the slope and keep them maintained.
15- The bermuda fields around the lagoon and beside the hog houses have a very weak stand. The soil samples results are calling for
some fields greater than 3 tons of lime. Apply the lime and monitor the stand and resprig as necessary. DWQ will be informed of the

Dear Mr. Heath,
To comply with the statutes of the general permit, I am writing to inform you of the
events during the week beginning March 19, 2001. At Quality Farms on Monday morning the
pits were pulled on four of the houses which resulted in a 3 inch rise in the lagoon level. The
lagoon level at Quality Farms was measured and documented by my service Eger later to be
19.5 inches (19 inches being the top of the first teed pipe). The recycle p n m would take all
night to refill the pits, but when full, the lagoon level would have been %Ytaxes.
The rain that came Monday and Tuesday measured at the farm was 1.5 to I-.75 wires._-4b r
lagoon was not in the freeboard at any time that I am aware of If it had , I anauld:hm
contacted DWQ as required by the general permit.
On Monday, I instructed my farm manager to move one of the reels to the back side of the
farm so that I could irrigate at a later time when this area dried out which he did. On Wednesday,
I irrigated with the other reel in the front field and did not observe any problem of ponding or
run-off. On Friday, my farm manager called and stated that DWQ inspectors had visited the faun
and found ponding and run-off in the back field. I told my manager that I had not been irrigating
in the back field. I did not know until then that the valve to the back field which I keep closed
when I irrigate the front fields had been opened by my farm manager earlier in the week. The
irrigation I conducted was at night and I checked on the reel several tithes tact Ubadiao ik& that
the reel at the back of the farm was running. I realize that I made a mistake in not double .
checking that vale, but the ponding and run-off which occurred was not intentional, 1-will in the
future make certain the appropriate valves are off and only irrigate at tight when aEbsoy
necess3 .
1 have worked diligently to manage this faun in the best way possible and I sincerely regret
this problem occurred. Please contact me if you need any additional information
Sincerely,
Steven W. Tatum

SUBJECT: Notice of Violation/Notice of Intent
Quality Swine Farm, Inc.
Facility No. 09-156
Permit No, AWS090156
Bladen County
Dear Mr. Tatum:
You are hereby notified that, having been permitted to have a non discharge permit for the
subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217, you have been found to be in
violation of your 2H .0217 Permit.
On March 23, 2001, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality, conducted a follow. -up inspection of your swine farm (located off Highway 87 in Bladen
County) to confirm that the high lagoon freeboard observed on March 19, 2001 had been corrected -
The inspection revealed that the irrigation reel and gun had been relocated to a waste application which
is typically wet and had a poor winter crop (small grain) established. The field was saturated and water
was standing in the fields and ditches. The irrigation equipment had been operating since the previous
inspection and animal waste was ponding in the spray field and running into the adjacent ditch;
however, the lagoon did have the required freeboard. The irrigation event was reported to have
occurred on March 21, 2001, Wednesday evening, approximately 40 hours prior to the discovery by
DWQ inspectors anted immediately after a two (2) inch rainfall event that occurred Monday evening
through Wednesday morning of that week. In addition, the irrigation reel and spray gun were not
properly set up and had the system been operational (engaged), wastewater would have been irrigated
into the canal ditch for approximately two-thirds of the pull length.

The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed:
Inspect, repair and maintain the irrigation equipment in the proper operation condition.
Operate the irrigation equipment in accordance with design and the CAWMP.
Irrigate on a suitable waste application field when weather and field conditions permit.
Contact a soil drainage expert to evaluate the soils in the spray fields to determine if the site
will respond to drainage. Evaluate the drainage outlets to determine if adequate outlets are
available and develop a drainage plan to alleviate the soil wetness problem.
4. Plant and maintain the required buffers between the waste application fields and the canal
ditches.
Submit a copy of freeboard records from January 1, 2000 to present.
Submit a copy of the irrigation records from January 1, 2000 to present.
Failure to comply with the above conditions may result in the facility's General Permit being
revoked and being required to obtain an individual non discharge permit for the facility. Please be
advised that this notice does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking enforcement actions
for this violation or any past or future violation.
You are hereby notified that based on the above information, the Division of Water Quality is
considering forwarding recommendation to the Director for consideration of enforcement for this
violation. Furthermore, the Division of Water Quality has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not
more than $25,000.00 per day per violation.
If you have an explanation for this violation that you wish to present to this office, please
forward a detailed explanation, in writing, of the events noted and why you feel that this office should
not proceed with recommendation for enforcement. This response should be received by this office on
or before May 3, 2001.
Information provided to this office will be reviewed and if enforcement is still deemed
appropriate, your explanation will be forwarded to the Director with the enforcement package for his
consideration.

Dear Mr. Rawls,
Quality Farms
P.O. Box 1416
Elizabethtown, NC 28337
May 2, 2001
This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation/Notice of Intent issued to Quality
Farms (FN 09-156) on April 19, 200I. Enclosed are the documents you requested in your letter.
In addition, the items you asked to be addressed on this farm have or are being evaluated.
As stated in my previous letter to you, the irrigation conducted in the back field was
unintentional. The valve to this part of the irrigation system was open when it should not have
been. I normally take much more care n the operation of the irrigation system, but during this
period, my wife was experiencing difficulties with her pregnancy and had been on bed rest for
several weeks. I realize that this does not absolve me from my responsibilities, however, the
extenuating circumstances during that ,period definitely had an impact on the performance of every
daily task. I believe that the state inspection reports show that, with the exception of the heavy
rain from El Nino, this farm has been in compliance and managed very well. Therefore, I do not
believe that enforcement action is necessary in this case.
I have worked diligently to manage this farm in the best way possible and I sincerely regret
this problem occurred but I do not feel enforcement action is justified. Please contact me if you
need any additional information.
Sincerely.
