Dear Sir or Madam:
Thank you for your recent submittal of the information requested in our letter dated June 6, 2003.
We greatly appreciate the effort that you made in compiling this information and sending it to
our Fayetteville Regional Office by the date required. We also appreciate the fact that you .
reported the problem with high freeboard to our staff as required by your permit and worked with
our staff to manage the problem once it occurred.
Upon review and consideration of the information submitted, the Fayetteville Regional Office
has determined that a Notice of Deficiency will be issued for the self reported lagoon level in the
storm storage. However, no further compliance/enforcement actions will be taken by the
Division for these high freeboards.
In the future, please continue to evaluate ways to maintain freeboard levels in the required range.
These methods include, but are not limited to, water conservation practices, adding additional
application sites, updating your cropping systems, adding additional and/or more flexible
application equipment, and maintaining the lagoon levels at the lowest allowable and appropriate
levels throughout the year. Our staff looks forward to continuing to work with you and your
Technical Specialist to evaluate and implement any needed changes to your system.
