SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Permit No. AWS 820057
Spencer Nursery 1 &2
Facility No. 82 - 57
Sampson County
Dear Mr. Spencer:
William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary
Alan Klimek, P.E., Director
Division of Water Quality
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 July 12, 2002 staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality
performed a routine inspection of the Spencer Nursery I & 2 located off SR1734 in Sampson
County. During the inspection, it was noted that no operator in charge (O1C) was designated for the
facility and a copy of the Certificate of Coverage (CGC) and General Permit were not available as
required. In addition, the waste application field was observed to have considerable competition with
weeds (curly dock, pigweed) and grass competition (crabgrass, goose grass, wild rye/barley, and fall
panicium).
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed:
1. Immediately register an operator in charge (01C) for the facility on the enclosed form with
the Division of Water Quality in accordance with your General Permit.
2. Contact the Permitting Branch of the Division of Water Quality for a copy of the COC and
General Permit if your copy cannot be located.

3. Contact an agronomist or crop specialist for assistance in the control and removal of the
grass and weed competition. Several areas of the bermuda field consist of common
bermuda {joint grass) which may need to be removed and resprigged with coastal bermuda.
Your response should be received by this office on or before August 30, 2002. 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. 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 any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact either Mr.
Robert Heath, Environmental Specialist or myself at [phone].
Sincerely,
Paul E. Rawls
