Below is a summary of the updates at this point.

me back. He indicated they had over 3 inches of rain and it likely is overflowing now.
Edwin Joines Dairy Farm: they have transferred waste to Greg Gambil Farm and now have approx 6 inches of
freeboard.
Allen Joines Dairy Farm: approx 5 inches to spillway overflow.

Subject- Notice of Deficiency #NOV-2010-PC-0581
Atwood Dairy
Permit No. AWC030033
Alleghany County
Dear Mr. Atwood:
During the Fall 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 lagoon/storage 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-

William G. Ross Jr., Secretary

May 9, 2005
Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director
Division of Water Quality
On April 26, 2005 Melissa Rosebrock of the Division of Water Quality's Winston-Salem Regional
Office (DWQ-WSRO) performed a compliance inspection at your dairy farm in Alleghany County. While most
animal waste operations appeared to be in order, there is a recordkeeping concern that requires your attention.
Specifically, Ms. Rosebrock noted that alsoil analysis had not been obtained for those fields receiving
animal waste in 2004. As discussed during the inspection, failure to have camplete records is a violation of
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.10C and your Animal Waste Management Permit. Please be
advised that North Carolina General Statutes Provide for penalties of up to $25,000 per day per violation
as well as criminal penalties for violations of state environmental laves and regulations. A reminder that the
results of a representative Standard Soil and Fertility Analysis, including pH, copper, and zinc, still need to be
obtained for those fields receiving animal waste during 2005. Per the cattle waste permit, the results of the soil
analysis are to be retained for three years.
The WSRO appreciates your prompt attention to the violation described above. If you have any
questions concerning this Notice, please contact Melissa Rosebrock or me at (336) 7714600_

Dear Mr. Atwood:
Division of Water Qual
May 25, 2001
On May 23, 2001 Melissa Rosebrock of the Division of Water Quality's Winston-Salem Regional Office
performed a compliance inspection at the Atwood Dairy. While most farm operations appeared to be in good I
condition and record keeping was improved over last year, there are other concerns that warrant your attention.
Specifically, Ms. Rosebrock noted that the Certificate of Coverage (COC) and Cattle General Permit were
missing from the waste application records. Additionally, documentation of the available freeboard is to be recorded
weekly per your animal waste permit. This was also missing from the waste application records. Please note that
these items were previously mentioned during your Operational Review (November 9, 2000). Failure to have
complete records is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.10C and your Animal Waste
Permit. Per request, we are inclosing a copy of the COC and permit. These should be retained with the Certified
Animal Waste Management Plan. A "Waste Pond/Lagoon Freeboard and Available Storage Capacity" form has also
been enclosed for your use.
During the inspection is was also observed that some of the boards on the upper waste storage pond were
loose and need to repaired and/or replaced if the structure is to remain in use. We would urge you to contact the
Alleghany NRCS at 336.372.4645 for technical assistance regarding appropriate repairs.
The Winston-Salem Regional Office appreciates your cooperation in these matters. If you have any
questions concerning this Notice, please contact Melissa Rosebrock or me at [phone].

SUBJECT: Notice of Violation
Compliance Inspection
Atwood Dairy #03-33
Alleghany County
Dear Mr. Atwood:
The purpose of this letter is to summarize the findings of your
compliance inspection completed on June 13, 2000 and follow-up visit of June
20th. Melissa Rosebrock and Matt Czahor of the Winston-Salem Regional
Office performed the initial evaluation.
On -the date of the compliance inspection the waste storage pond was
found to be seeping. The area of discharge (about 6 inches wide and 3 foot long)
was on the downhill side of the #1 waste storage pond (small one), at the point
where the wood (tongue and grooved) wall meets the soil. In addition, some
boards were actually missing from the wooden wall. The above mentioned
discharge poses an immediate threat to the environment due to the potential for
discharge to surface waters of the State.
On the date of the follow-up visit, staff found that a section of the
wooden wall had been sealed with concrete on the exterior of the structure so as
to stop the discharge. This office appreciates the concern which you have shown
as exhibited by your prompt response in addressing the discharge issue. While
there is no longer an immediate threat to the environment due to the potential for
discharge, we would like to see the remaining waste storage pond repaired on a
permanent basis in order to avoid any future discharges. A thorough inspection
of the wood section is recommended since many of the boards appear weathered
and need to be replaced and/or repaired. It is suggested that you contact the
Sparta Field Office at [phone] for suggestions regarding appropriate
repairs.
In addition, during the compliance inspection it was noted that of 3a°°
groundhog hole on the north side of the #2 waste pond needs to be repaired.

Staff also observed. that the pasture below the barns is very denuded and that sediment from the
pasture may be getting into the stream. Vegetation needs to be established on this pasture to help
prevent further sediment run-off.
Staff also noted that the information in your waste application records was not complete.
Specifically, waste applications for each field had not been recorded on the appropriate forms
(SLUR-1 and SLUR-2). A nitrogen balance had not been calculated and record_ r- ach field
either. Additionally, there was no record of waste samples being taken within 60 day of either
the February or March 2000 application events. Staff did note however, that ad recorded
information on a sheet of paper regarding the number of loads, fields, and dates on which waste
was applied. Should you need assistance regarding the transfer of this information onto SLUR
forms #1 and #2, we would suggest you contact the Sparta Field. Please note that waste and soil
records, once obtained, should be kept for a minimum of five years.
Failure to have the above components available and complete is a violation of your
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. As you know, waste applications should be applied
during the time the crop can utilize the nutrients in the waste. In general, waste should be applied
no earlier than 30 days prior to planting.
The Winston-Salem Regional Office appreciates your cooperation in this matter. If you
have questions regarding this Notice, please contact Melissa Rosebrock or myself at (336) 77I-
4608.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 3-33
Alleghany County
Dear Dwayne Atwood:
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, DRY3, SLURI, 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
rouiine 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.

Subject: Operator In Charge Designation Winston-Salem
Regional Office
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission
on Agricultural Waste, was ratified by the North Carolina General Assembly on June 21, 1996.
This bill required that a properly certified operator be designated as the Operator in Charge for each
animal waste management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or
more horses, 1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid animal waste
management system.
The deadline for designating an Operator in Charge for animal waste management systems
involving cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry was January 1, 1997. Because a training and
certification program was not yet available for these systems, you were allowed to apply for and
were issued a temporary animal waste management certificate from the Water Pollution Control
System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC). Because you applied for and were
issued a temporary certificate, you were allowed to be designated as the Operator in Charge of an
animal waste management system.
Your temporary certificate expires December 31, 1997, and is not renewable. Our records indicate
that you have not obtained a permanent animal waste management system operator certification. If
you intend to remain the Operator in Charge of the facility for which you were designated, you must
obtain a permanent animal waste management system operator certification of the appropriate type
before your temporary certification expires on December 31, 1997. To obtain a permanent
certification, you must be 18 years of age, complete ten hours of approved training, and pass an
examination. If you do not intend to remain the Operator in Charge, a properly certified animal
waste management system operator must be designated as Operator in Charge of the facility prior to
the expiration of your temporary certification.
This year's final training program for both Type A and Type B animal waste management systems
is scheduled for December 10 and 11, 1997, at the Hunt Horse Complex in Raleigh. If you would
like information about this training program, please contact your local cooperative extension agent
or call Dee Ann Cooper at 919/515-6968. For those enrolled in this training and registering with
Ms. Cooper prior to December 1, an exam will be offered at the Hunt Horse Complex on December
11, beginning at 1:00 pm.

In addition to the training and testing at the Hunt Horse Complex, examinations for permanent
certification will be offered on December 11, 1997, in Williamston, Kenansville, Raleigh
(Wake Tech), Wentworth, Salisbury and Morganton. This examination date will be the last
opportunity to obtain permanent certification before your temporary certification expires. If you
need additional information or have questions concerning the examinations for certification, please
call Beth Buffington at 919/733-0026. For additional information about other training
opportunities, please contact your local cooperative extension agent or call David Crouse at
