Assessed Entity: Bruce A. Humble Permit: AWS410016
❑ (a) Whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors were wrongly applied to the
detriment of the petitioner:
® (b) Whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation:
Mr. Humble did abate the violations and address any recording keeping concerns within just a few days. After
the assessment (and prior to remission request) the WSRO learned of some personal issues that probably lead to
Mr. Humble being distracted and not keeping up with animal waste management at the farm. The personal
issues were confirmed by Guilford County SWCD and other farmers in the area.
❑ (c) Whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident:
® (d) Whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations:
Mr. Humble has not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations. He has only received one NOV, in
2004, for high freeboard/failure to report and failing to obtain a waste analysis within 60 days of application. He
was also reminded during a 2013 inspection to maintain compliant waste levels in the lagoon.

2. Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below, as
they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is
not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the
factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request
forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of
your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are
in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should
be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In determining
whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one ;or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b) were
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the violator;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation;
(3). whether the violation was inadvertent or a result -of an accident; -
(4) whether the violator has been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial
actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in
writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you
of their decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding
the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee).
Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original
remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a
complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of
Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within
thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that you

C. Condition No. V.2, of the General Pcrnlit AWG i 00000 states that "The maximum tivastc
level in lagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the facility's Certified
Animal Waste Management' Plan (CAWMP)".
D. The CAWMP for Bruce A. Humble Farm requires that the waste level in the lagoon not
exceed the maximum liquid level of 18 inches below the top of the lagoon wall.
E. Condition No. I1I.13e. of the General Permit AWG 100000 states that "The Permittee shall

,greater than or equal to that required in Condition V.2. of the General Permit."

F. On March 19, 2015, staff of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR), Water Quality

The facility has.a history of high freeboard levels.
G. The DWR-Winston-Salem Regional Office did not receive a report by telephone (or any
other means) of the failure to maintain adequate storage capacity in the lower stage lagoon

Permit Number: AWS410016
ASSESSMENT FACTORS
1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation;
Unknou-n
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
Records indicate that the ivaste level in the lower stage lagoon above the maximum liquid mark
from February 18, 2015 until March 18, 2015. Although this ivas during the it.,inter months, this
office feels that Mr. Humble could have land applied more ►t-aste lust full in preparation for the
ivinter, or sometime this near in order to maintain compliance. Records indicate that the lagoon
only had 19 inches offreeboard at the beginning ref January 2015. High f eeboard is of
particular concern at Mr. Humble 's farm since the lagoon is only 13 % feet (approxitnotely) fi'oin
South Prong Stinking Quarter Creek, a WS-V; B; NSW located in the Cape Fear River Basin.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
None that we are ait are.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
There is no cost to Mr. Humble to notlli, the WSRO of inadequate storage in the lagoon. Since
Mr. Humble land -applies the animal waste himself, there is only the cost of his labor associated
u-ith land application.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
off- ,�Q �d �-c•�.�.�.P ����e.
6) Whether the violation =?:mi=y or intentionally;
Mr. Humble was reminded, in writing, during the October 2013 Compliance. Inspection that the
waste level must be maintained below the maximum liquid level of 18" and he was issited a
Notice of Violation (NOV) in December 2004_forfailing to report. high freeboard. This of
believes the violations to be intentional since Mr. Humble is awvare of the requirement to
Maintain compliant waste levels and to report the non-compliance It.,hen it occurs.
7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the
Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and

Case #: PC-2015-0013
Bruce A, Humble, AWS410016
Guilford County
Please find attached, documents supporting the Winston-Salem Regional Off ce's request
for a civil penalty assessment against Bruce A. Humble for failing to maintain the waste level
below the maximum specified in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) and
for failing to report the non -compliant waste level events.
Staff from the Winston-Salem Regional Office Division of Water Resources (WSRO-
DWR) performed an announced routine inspection on March 19, 2015. While reviewing the on -
site records it was discovered that the waste level had been above the maximum liquid mark
from February 18-March 18, 2015 without notifying the regional office. This farm has a history
of high freeboard and failing to report.
While the April 6, 2015 NOV/NOI described several violations, the regional office only
wishes to pursue a civil penalty for the high freeboard and failure to report violations. We
request that you initiate appropriate action from your office and forward the attached package to
the Director of the Division of Water Resources. The following items are being transmitted for
your review:
A) A completed "Findings and Decisions and Assessment of Civil Penalties."
B) A completed "'Water Quality Enforcement Case Assessment Factors."
C) Recent correspondence between violator and DWR, including copies of the
"NOWNOI letter."

MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
GENERAL PERMIT AWG100000
PURSUANT TO NORTH CAROLINA
GENERAL- STATUE 143-215.1
NORTH CAROLINA
DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND
NATURAL RESOURCES
File No. PC-2015-0013
FINDINGS AND DECISION
AND ASSESSMENT OF
CFVIL PENALTIES
Acting pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources,1, S. Jay Zimmerman, Director of the Division of Water Resources
(DWR), make the following:
I. FINDINGS OF FACT
A. Bruce A. Humble ovens and operates Bruce A. Humble farm, a permitted swine animal
feeding operation in Guilford County.
B. Bruce A. Humble was issued Certificate of Coverage AWS410016 under Swine Waste
Management System General Permit AWG100000 forthe Bruce A. Humble farm on
December 15, 2000 effective upon issuance, with an expiration date of April 30, 2003. This
permit has been renewed annually and was most recently renewed on October 1, 2014, with
an expiration date of September 30, 2019.
C. Condition No. V.2. of the General Permit AWG100000 states that "The maximum waste
level in lagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the facility's Certified
Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP)."
D. The CAVirMP for Bruce A. Humble requires that the waste level in the lagoon not exceed the
maximum liquid level of 18 inches below the top of the lagoon wall.
E. On March 19, 2015, staff of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR), Water Quality
Regional Operations Section (WQROS), became aware of high freeboard levels while
reviewing the farm's on -site records during an announced, routine, inspection. The waste
level in the lagoon was documented to have been above the 18-inch maximum from February
18 to March 18, 2015. A level of 18 inches is the maximum level allowed by the permit.
The facility has a history of high freeboard levels.

F. Condition No. III.13. Of the General Permit AWG100000 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 occurrence of any of
the following events... Failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage pond greater
than or equal to that required in Condition V.2. of the General Permit."
G. The DWR-Winston-Salem Regional Office did not receive a report by telephone (or any
other means) of the failure to maintain adequate storage capacity in the lower stage lagoon
prior to the March 19, 2015 inspection. The facility has a history of failing to report.
H. DWR responded by issuing the facility a Notice of Violation/Notice of Intent to Enforce on
April 6, 2015 and delivered to Bruce A. Humble on April 8, 2015. Mr. Humble's written
response was received May 14, 2015.
I. The cost to the State for the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $504.39
Based upon the above Findings of Facts, I make the following:
II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
A. Bruce A. Humble is a "person" within the meaning of G. S. 143-215.6A pursuant to G. S.
143-212(4).
B. A permit for an animal waste management system is required by G.S. 143-215.1.
C. The above -cited failure to maintain the liquid level in the lagoon at the level specified in the
CAWMP violated Condition No. V. 2. of the General Permit AWG100000.
D. The above -cited failure to report within twenty-four (24) hours following first knowledge of
the non -compliant waste level violated Condition No. 111. 13. of the General Permit
AWG 100000.
E. Bruce A. Humble may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G. S. 143-
215.6A(a)(2), which provides that a civil penalty of not more that twenty-five thousand
dollars ($25,000.00) per violation may be assessed against a person who is required but fails
to act in accordance with terms, conditions, or requirements of a permit required by G. S.
143-215.1.
F. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be assessed against Bruce A. Humble
pursuant to G. S. 143-215.3(a)(9) and G. S. 143B-282.1(b)(8).
G. The Director of the Division of Water Resources, pursuant to delegation provided by the
Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, has the authority to
assess civil penalties in this matter.
Based upon the above Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law, I make the following:

III. DECISION:
Accordingly, Bnzce Humble, owner of Bruce A. Humble farm at the time of the noncompliance
is hereby assessed a civil penalty of:
$ for violating Condition No. V.2. of General Permit AWG100000

Assessment Factors
Case # PC-2015-0013
May 15, 2015
Violator: Bruce A. Humble
Owner: Bruce A. Humble
Region: Winston-Salem
1. The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to public health or
to private property:
NIA
2. The duration and gravity of the violations:
Records indicate that the waste level in the lower stage lagoon above the maximum liquid
mark from February 18, 2015 until March 18, 2015. Although this was during the winter
months, this office feels that Mr. Humble could have land applied more waste last fall in
preparation for the winter, or sometime this year in order to maintain compliance. Records
indicate that the lagoon only had 19 inches of freeboard at the beginning of January 2015.
High freeboard is of particular concern at Mr. Humble's farm since the lagoon is only 137
feet (approximately) from South Prong Stinking Quarter Creek, a WS-V; B; NSW located in
the Cape Fear River Basin,
3. The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality:
None that we are aware.
4. The cost of rectifying the damage:
There is no cost to Mr. Humble to notify the WSRO of inadequate storage in the lagoon.
Since Mr. Humble land -applies the animal waste himself, there is only the cost of his labor
associated with land application.
5. The amount of money saved by noncompliance:
None.
6. Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally:
Mr. Humble was reminded, in writing, during the October 2013 Compliance Inspection that
the waste level must be maintained below the maximum liquid level of 19" and he was issued
a Notice of Violation (NOV) in December 2004 for failing to report high freeboard. This
office believes the violations to be intentional since Mr. Humble is aware of the requirement
to maintain compliant waste levels and to report the non-compliance when it occurs.
7. The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority:

December 2004 — NOV for failure to report high freeboard and for failing to obtain a waste
analysis within 60 days of application.
S. The costs to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Investigator — 12 hours enforcement time $ 356.04
Corey Basinger - 1 hour for enforcement review $ 48.35
Administrative Costs $ 100.00
Total Cost $ 504.39
9. Type of Violator:
Bruce A. Humble owns and operates farm number 41-16, known as the Bruce A. Humble
farm.
10. Violator's degree of cooperation (including efforts to restore) or recalcitrance:
Mr. Humble has been polite and cordial to staff. Within just a few weeks of the March 19,
2015 inspection, Mr. Humble had completed his sludge survey and calibration (see
NOV/NOI) and a waste analysis was recently received for the applications made in March
this year. However, as of May 6, the waste level is still only 3 inches below the maximum
liquid mark.
11. Mitigating factors:
None

B. Receiving Stream ---- NA
C. SOC/JOC ---- NA
D. Copy of MP Screen ----NA
E. Copy of Limits Page ---- NA

Permit Conditions Violations #NOV-2015-PC-0063

Guilford County
Dear Mr. Humble:
Donald van der vaart
Secretary
On March 19, 2015 staff from the Division of Water Resources' Winston-Salem Regional Office
(DWR-WSRO) performed a scheduled compliance inspection at your permitted swine operation in
Guilford County. A final copy of the report is attached for your review. During the inspection Ms.
Rosebrock observed the following:
Violations and Concerns
1) Animal waste management records indicate that the waste level in the lower stage lagoon
has been at or above the maximum liquid level since January 1, 2015. Additionally, the
waste level was at the maximum liquid mark on the date of the inspection. Failure to
maintain the waste level below the maximum specified in the Certified Animal Waste
Management Plan (CAWMP) is a violation of Condition V.2 of the Swine Waste
Management System General Permit (Permit). Failure to maintain adequate 'freeboard
was also documented in the October 2013 Compliance Inspection report.
2) The DWR-WSRO did not receive a report by telephone of the non -compliant waste level
events occurring in the lower stage lagoon prior to the March 19, 2015 inspection. Failure
to report within twenty-four (24) hours following first knowledge of the non -compliant
waste level is a violation of Condition III..13.e. of the Permit. Note that a previous citation
was issued in 2004 for the same violation (December 2004 NOV).
3) A review of the animal waste management records indicates that the required sludge survey
for the upper and lower stage lagoons was not conducted in 2014. Failure to conduct a
survey of the sludge accumulation as required by the permit is a violation of Condition
M.18. Our records indicate that you were- reminded during the 2012, 2.013 and 201.4
inspections that the sludge survey was to be completed by the end of 2014.

4) A review of the onsite records also indicates that a calibration of the irrigation system was
not completed in 2014. Specifically, the nozzle diameter and wetted diameter was not
determined. Failure to test and calibrate all waste application equipment at least once
every two years is a violation of Permit Condition H.24. Our files indicate that you were
reminded during the 2012, 2013 and 2014 inspections that a calibration was to be completed
by the end of 2014.
5) Waste applications occurring in December 2014 did not have an associated waste analysis
performed within 60 days. Failure to conduct an analysis of the animal waste within 60
days (before or after) the date of application is a violation of Condition 1H.5. of the
Permit. This was also noted in a 2004 Notice of Violation (NOV).
6) Per Condition H.12., a protective vegetative cover shall be established and maintained on
all earthen lagoons. On the date of the recent inspection; the embankment was denuded in
several areas due to excessive cattle activity, resulting in a violation of the Permit.
7) Conditions U.I. and I1.2. of the Permit state that the land application fields shall be
maintained with a vegetative cover. Fields 4, 6, and 7 were observed to be denuded due to
ongoing excessive cattle activity. These fields are thus not available for land application .
since the fescue crop is insufficient for nutrient utilization.
Corrective Actions:
1) The animal waste level in the lower stage lagoon must be brought into compliance by the
proper application of waste in accordance with the CAWMP and Permit.
2) A sludge survey of both the upper and lower stage lagoons must be conducted and results
recorded on the appropriate forms.
3) A complete and thorough calibration must be conducted and recorded on appropriate forms.
Please see your technical specialist for a copy of the irrigation system specifications as this
information was not available during the March 19e' inspection. You will need this data to
complete the calibration.
4) A reminder to download a copy of the most recent waste analysis result for your March
201.5 applications. Please contact your technical specialist for assistance.
5) Cattle must be excluded from the lagoon embankment immediately and permanent
vegetation re-established as soon as possible.
6) 1f the cattle are to continue to be grazed on the application fields, then the stocking rate
should be lowered such that a vegetative cover can be maintained at all times. We strongly
urge your continued cooperation with the Guilford County SWCDINRCS to develop a cattle
grazing plan.
This office is considering recommending an assessment of civil penalties against you for the above
referenced violations, if you wish to present an explanation for the violations cited, or if you believe
there are other factors which should be considered; please send such information to me in writing
within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. All information will be reviewed, and, if an

Humble-NOI
April 6, 2015

enforcement action is still deemed appropriate, your explanation will be forwarded to the Director
with the enforcement package for consideration. Any written response(s) should be sent to my
attention at the address shown on the letterhead. Be advised that NC General Statutes provide for
penalties of up to $25,000 per day per violation as well as criminal penalties for violations of state
environmental laws and regulations.
If you have questions concerning this Notice, please contact Melissa Rosebrock or me at (336) 776-

Appendix 3. Worksheet for sludge volume and treatment volume Revised August 2008
The average thickness of the sludge layer and the thickness of the existing liquid (sludge -free) treatment zone are determined
from the information on the Lagoon Sludge Survey Form ( Items O-and P, respectively). In this example, the average sludge
layer thickness is 2.5 feet and the existing liquid treatment zone is 3.5 feet. If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume,
see notes at end of the worksheet. The dimensions of the lagoon as measured and the side slope are needed
for calculations of sludge volume and of total treatment volume. If the lagoon is a standard geometric shape, the sludge
volume and the treatment volume in the lagoon can be estimated by using standard equations. For approximate volumes
of rectangular lagoons with constant side slope, calculate length and width at the midpoint of the layer, and multiply by layer
thickness to calculate layer volume, as shown in the example. For irregular shapes, convert the total surface area to a square
or rectangular shape_ For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the "Prismoidat Equations" may be used.

on filing the Plan of Action.
Note: If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume (DSSV), subtract that volume from both the volume
of sludge (Vs) (Item 8) and from the volume of total treatment zone (Vz) (Item 14), and take the ratio.
Then, R = (Vs-DSSV) f (Vz - DSSV)
Example: If DSSV = 85,000 ft3, then R = (169,860 - 85.000) / (447,174 - 85,000) = 84,860 f 362,174 = 024.

Note: If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume (DSSV), subtract that volume from both the volume
of sludge (Vs) (Item 8) and from the volume of total treatment zone (Vz) (Item 14), and take the ratio.
Then, R = (Vs-DSSV) / (Vz - DSSV)
Example: If DSSV = 85,000 ft3, then R = (169,860 - 85,000) / (447,174 - 85,000) = 84,860 / 362,174 = 0.24.
