Dear Sir or Madam:
On March 21, 2003, a representative of your animal operation informed the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) that there was inadequate freeboard in the lagoon(s) serving this facility.
This lack of adequate freeboard is in non-compliance with the Certificate of Coverage
issued to this facility on April 21, 1997. In addition to this Notice of Violation (NOV), this non-
compliance is subject to an appropriate enforcement action by DWQ. This action can consist of
one or more of the following: a civil or criminal enforcement action; an injunction; and/or a
requirement to apply for coverage under an individual permit. The action chosen will be based
on complete evaluation of all factors that resulted in the inadequate freeboard; the actions taken
to restore the needed freeboard; and the actions being proposed to prevent the problem from
reoccurring.
To assist us in our review, please provide the Fayetteville Regional Office with an
evaluation of the reasons for the freeboard violation(s) and a strategy to prevent future freeboard
violation(s). This evaluation and strategy must include but is not limited to the following:
Current Freeboard level(s)
Freeboard level records in the lagoon(s) for the past 12 months up to the date of submittal
Spraying records for the past 12 months up to the date of submittal

Since your March 25th visit to the farms, the following actions have taken place:
1) The lagoon level has been lowered to 19 inches and will continue to be lowered
this summer.
2) We have consulted with private and company engineers and technical specialists on
the erosion problem and have a plan which Murphy Family Farm's Construction
Department will enact by June.
3) Technical specialist Kraig Westerbeek is updating the CAWMP to reflect coastal
bermuda in the fields formerly occupied by hardwoods. These fields have been
mowed and will be disked and sprigged by June.
If you have any questions, please call John Bizic at 910-289-6439.

SUBJECT: NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY
Ingold Sow Farm
Registration No. 82-136
Sampson County
Dear Dr. Boyd. -
On March 25, 1998, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division
of Water Quality inspected the Ingold Sow Farm swine facility. It was observed
that the facility's waste lagoon was in the emergency storage level (13 inches)
according to the marker. There was some erosion noted around the base of the
lagoon dam. This erosion is a result of heavy rainfall washing down a drainage
ditch_ Hardwood trees are no longer existent in one of the spray fields. This was
the specified crop type in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan
(CAWMP). The CAWMP did not address insect and odor control and an animal
mortality plan.
In regard to the deficiencies noted during the inspection, the following actions
are requested -
1. Lower the lagoon level to the required freeboard on a suitable waste
application field as soon as weather permits.
2. Consult with a technical specialist for assistance in regard to rectifying the
erosion problem around the base of the lagoon dam.

3. The CAVVMP will need to be updated since hardwood trees are going to be replaced with coastal
bermuda as the crop type for one of the spray fields. The CAWMP also needs to include sections on
animal mortality and insect and odor control. Contact a technical specialist for assistance in advising
your CAVVMP.
Please notify this office on or before April 30, 1998 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 result from these
deficiencies. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please call Jeffery Brown, at (910)
