Compliance Inspection
Long Meadow Farm, Facility No. 29-13
Davidson County
Dear Mr. Snider:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
This letter is to follow-up on a compliance inspection conducted by the Division of
Water Quality's Winston-Salem Regional Office staff (DWQ) on July 15, 2010 at
Long Meadow Farm. While the majority of the animal waste management
activities were in good order, a violation warrants your immediate attention.
The Cattle Waste Management Permit issued to Long Meadow Farm requires that
an analysis of the animal waste be conducted within sixty (60) days of waste
application (Permit Section lit. 5.). Onsite records indicate that March 2010
applications did NOT have a corresponding waste analysis performed within sixty
(60) days. Failure to obtain a waste analysis within the required sixty (60)
days of waste application is a violation of NC General Statute 143-
215.10C(e)(6) and the Cattle Waste Management Permit issued to Long
Meadow Farm. DWQ staff noted that the December 2009 waste analysis results
indicated a Nitrogen content of 1.8 pounds of Nitrogen per 1000 gallons. While
this level of Nitrogen content is less likely to cause environmental impact, a waste
analysis is still required within sixty (60) days of an application.
DWQ staff also observed that the soil pH level in a number of application fields
was below 5.5 and two fields had a pH of less than 5.0. We strongly recommend
that you apply lime to these fields as recommend in the soil analysis report. DWQ

Andy,
I have received your letter and plans for revising the waste storage pond at the
referenced facility. From our discussions with you and the landowner it sounds as if
the "pump station" will simply be an area near the waste pond (15'X30') that will be
used by the operator to park the honey wagon, agitate and then to pump the manure
into the honey wagon for application. My understanding is that this area was
initially approved for the waste pond but was not installed at the time of
construction. The owner wishes to construct this area now to keep the dam on the
slope side from damage due to machinery traffic. The submitted documentation
describes the area to be constructed in natural soil, not in or on the dam, and will
not increase/decrease the size of the waste pond. Per MRCS, the waste pond will
continue to meet their standards. For these reasons, I do not see that any approval
is required from our office. I appreciate your efforts to keep me updated regarding
this facility. Please contact me if you have any further questions or require
assistance from DWQ.
Sincerely,
Melissa Rosebrock

Melissa,
I sent a copy of the proposal for a pumping station on the Long Meadow Farm
(Clyde Snider) Waste Storage Pond to you through Postal Mail yesterday.
This pumping station is necessary to facilitate removal of effluent from the
pond. The pumping station will not change the storage volume of the pond
and will not serve as an emergency spillway. The dam will not be affected
by the installation. I have discussed this with Tommy Burchette, CET,
USDA-NRCS and he confirms that the structure will continue to meet NRCS
Standards and Specification if the pumping station is installed as proposed.
i sent a copy of this information to him and I expect to receive written
confirmation in the near future.
If this revision requires your attention or approval from DWQ prior to
construction please advise me as soon as possible.
Thank you for your help.

This letter is to follow up on our telephone conversation from earlier today. Enclosed is a sketch
of the proposed revision to the Clyde Snider Waste Storage.Pond in Davidson County. This
revision is requested to facilitate removing effluent from the storage pond. This pump station
was included in the original design from 1990 but Mr. Snider chose not to construct the pump
station at that time. Installing the pump station will allow more complete removal of effluent
from the pond. The diversion above the pump station will be reconstructed to prevent any
additional runoff from entering the pond.
Construction of this pump station will be done in natural ground and will not alter the storage
capacity of the structure. The dam will be unaffected by the construction. This pump station
will not serve as an emergency spillway.
Tommy Burchette, CET, with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service has reviewed
this proposal and confirms that the structure will continue to meet NRCS Standards and
Specifications if the pump station is constructed as proposed.
If this revision requires your attention or approval prior to construction please advise me as soon
as possible.
Thank you for you help.

Subject: Notice of Violation
Animal Operation Site Inspection
Long Meadow Farm, Facility # 29-13
Davidson County
Dear Mr. Snider:
Ms. Melissa Rosebrock of this Office conducted a site inspection at your
facility on August 29, 2000. Although most farm operations appeared in good
condition, the record keeping system needs improvement.
Staff noted that your waste records were not complete. Specifically, waste
analysis records for solids applied February through June of this year were not
available. Please note that waste and soil analysis, 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 Animal Waste Permit. Remember that 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.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to
contact Melissa Rosebrock or myself at [phone].

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 29-13
Davidson 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. IRRI, IRR2, DRY I, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR), SLUR2,
SLDI, 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.

Subject: Operator In Charge Designation
Winston-Salem.
Regional OffiM
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.

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
