SUBJECT: Notice of Deficiency: NOD-2016-PC-0387
Certificate of Coverage #AWC030008
Facility 403-08
Alleghany County
Dear Mr. Joines:
This Notice is a follow-up to the routine Compliance Inspection conducted by Division of Water
Resources (DWR) staff on July 26, 2016. While our office is aware of the area's extraordinary rain
events and sensitive to your major health issues over the last year, we must notify you of the animal
waste deficiencies observed during the inspection. A "final copy" of the inspection report is
attached for vour review.
Deficiencies
1. Section III.4. of the Permit issued to Joines Bros. Dairy requires that a representative
Standard Soil Fertility Analysis (soil test) be conducted every three years for each
application field receiving animal waste. A review of the on -site animal waste records
indicates that a soil test was not completed for 2015. Failure to maintain required
records is a violation of the Cattle Waste klanagement System General Permit.
2. The permit also requires that a representative sample of the animal waste be obtained
within 60 days (before or after) the date of application. Records indicate that applications
made onto small grain during Fall 2015 did not have such a sample. This is a violation of
Section III.5. of the permit.
3. As required by the permit, Section 1I.24., all waste application equipment must be tested
and calibrated at least once every two years. Records indicate that the two 3150-gallon
wagon spreaders should have been calibrated in 2015. Failure to calibrate application
equipment as required is a violation of the Cattle Tfaste 1anagement System General
Permit.

4. Records also indicate that animal waste was applied onto the 201 5-2016 small grain crop.
Due to excessive rain events the small grain reportedly could not be harvested and therefore
became a "cover crop." The approximately 40 lbs. of plant available nitrogen (PAN) that
was applied was more than the 25-30 lbs. PAN typically allowed for a small grain cover
crop. Over application of PAN is a violation of the permit.
Corrective Actions:
It is our understanding that samples are to be obtained after the current corn crop is
harvested. Please complete a Standard Soil Fertility Analysis (soil test) for all fields which
have already received animal waste in 2015 and 2016, and for those fields which you expect
to receive animal waste before the end of the year. A copy of the soil test form is attached.
2. While the July 2016 waste analysis result is representative of previous results obtained by
Joines Bros. Dairy, another sample will need to be analyzed within 60 days of the small
grain applications this Fall. Some permittees find it helpful to sample each quarter so that
they have the year "covered". The waste analysis form is attached for your use.
Calibrate the wagon spreaders as soon as possible this Fall. A reasonable time would be
when waste is applied onto small grain. A reminder that the spreader truck calibration is
also due this year. The appropriate calibration forms are attached.
4. The current WUP does not appear to contain "Cover Crop" as an allowable receiving crop.
Please see your technical specialist regarding the possible addition of this crop, including
the associated PAN and application windows, to your waste plan.
Other Concerns:
The current WUP lists the following receiving crops and application windows: Fescue
{March 1-August 15); Small grain (March 1-December 31); Corn silage (March 1-October
15). The application windows are not consistent with those in the W-UPs of other permitted
farms. Please discuss this discrepancy with your technical specialist.
2. A PAN balance has not yet been calculated for the fields receiving waste for the 2016 corn
crop. You indicated that a waste sample has already been sent for analysis. Please update
the SLUR-2 forms once you receive the results. If you need assistance retrieving the online
results, feel free to contact our office or the Alleghany Field Office [phone].
Written Response
Please respond to our office within 30 days describing the actions you have taken, or propose to

Alleghany County
Dear Mr. Joines:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
During the Fail or Winter of 2009-2010, a representative of your animal operation informed the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Winston-Salem Regional Office that there was inadequate freeboard in
the waste pond(s) or lagoon(s) serving the facility. The Animal Waste Management Permit (Section III. No.
13) states that the "Permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Division Regional Office as soon
as possible, but in no case more than twenty-four (24) hours following first knowledge of the ... failure to
maintain storage capacity in a lagoorVstorage pond greater than or equal to that required in ... this General
Permit." We appreciate the fact that you reported the problem of high waste level as required by your
permit and have worked with our staff to manage the problem once it occurred.
While we recognize the extraordinary weather conditions existing at the time, the lack of adequate
freeboard reported to our office still represents non-compliance with the Certificate of Coverage issued to
your facility. As you are aware, this non-compliance is subject to appropriate enforcement action by DWQ.
The factors that lead to non-compliance, efforts to notify DWQ of the problem, efforts made to resolve the
problem once identified, and efforts proposed to prevent future problems have all been factors in our
decision regarding enforcement. Upon review and consideration of the information submitted and/or
discussed with DWQ staff, the Winston-Salem Regional Office has determined that a Notice of Deficiency
(NOD) is appropriate and that no further compliance/enforcement actions will be taken by the Division for
the high waste levels occurring between October 2009 and March 2010.
In the future, please continue to evaluate ways to maintain freeboard levels in the required range.
This may include, but is not limited to, water conservation practices, adding additional application sites,
updating your cropping systems, adding additional and / or more flexible application equipment, and main-

Dear Mr. Joines:
The Animal Feeding Operation Unit of Division of Water Quality's Aquifer Protection Section has
completed a preliminary review of your renewal permit application package. We have not received a
response to the request for Additional information sent to you on April 30, 2009. The information listed

15, 2009, so we will have adequate time to review and process the permit application:
Missing Waste Utilization Plan:
You were requested submit two copies of your facility's waste utilization plan (WUP) or, nutrient
management plan, (NMP). Our record show either one or both copies of the waste plan are missing
or are incomplete in your permit application. Please submit missing copies of your current WUP or

SUBJECT: Notice of Deficiency
Over Application of Nitrogen
Facility 403-08, Alleghany County
Dear Mr. Joins:
This letter is to follow-up on an operations review conducted May 17, 2007 by Cindy Safrit, with
the Division of Soil and Water Conservation (DSWC). While most animal waste management activities
and records were in good condition, there are concerns regarding animal waste application that require
your attention.
As discussed during Ms. Safrit's visit, your on -site waste application records indicate that there
may have been an over -application of nitrogen onto small grain tract/fields T-731 F-3 (three fields in the
tract) and T-1967 F-1 (connects with tract 1966). Since there are lingering questions regarding the actual
acreages that received animal waste, and record keeping discrepancies between you and your employees,
please let this letter serve as a "warning" regarding the importance of maintaining accurate waste
application records in the future. We also suggest that you review on -farm documentation procedures with
your employees to assure continued compliance with your waste plan and Cattle Waste Operation Permit.
If you have questions concerning this correspondence, please contact Melissa Rosebrock or me at
[phone],

Additional Information Request
Joines Brothers Dairy
Animal Waste Operation
Alleghany County
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application.
Additional information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by July 2, 2000:
The plant available nitrogen (PAN) produced on your farm as calculated in your waste utilization plan (WUP) appears
low for a 275 dairy operation with broadcast application method and 100% confinement. Please consult your technical
specialist to verify what percent of confinement was considered to derive the manure volume in your WUP.
2. Storage pond capacity documentation (design, as -built calculations, etc.) is missing. Please be sure to
include any site evaluations, wetland determinations, or hazard classifications that may be applicable.
Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist.
Please reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information
should be signed, sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this
letter must be submitted on or before July 2, 2000 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance
with 15A N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit.
Please be advised that operation of the subject animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation
of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and will subject you to the enforcement authority of the Environmental
Management Commission.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please call me at [phone], extension 363.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 3-8
Alleghany County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRYS, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571.
