William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Coleen H. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
On September 18, 2008 the Aquifer Protection Section received your Animal Waste Storage
Pond and Lagoon Closure Report Form. This form indicates that all lagoons have been closed in
accordance with NRCS standards and that few pastured animals will remain on this farm. There
is no permit to rescind since this operation was deemed permitted according to 15A NCAC 2H
.0217.
Please contact me at 919-715-6937 or [e-mail] if you have any questions

Melissa,
I am mailing the "Animal. Waste Storage Pond Lagoon Closure Report Form"
to Raleigh with a copy to you for Alton Moxley (Ridgeway Dairy -Facility
No. 03-28). The waste application and grading was done by Craig Joines.
Greg Wagoner was on site to see the bottom and signed off as technical
specialist. We did final check out Friday and the grass is already
growing. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks.

To: Linda Hash <[e-mail]>
Linda,
Thanks for your inquiry regarding the waste pond at the old "Ridgway Dairy" on Mt. Zion Church
Road. Our records show that Alton Moxley was the owner in 2000 when DENR was mandated by the
NC General Assembly to conduct an inventory of inactive lagoons and storage ponds. The inventory
process determined that this waste structure is a "medium risk" for potential to pollute surface and/or
ground waters.
Of particular concern to DWQ is the fact that this structure is less than 50 feet from an unnamed
tributary to Crab Fork Creek which is classified as a class B, Trout water. As you may know, class B
includes class C and protects for primary recreation (human body contact). Additionally, the waste
structure is only a half mile (as the crow flies!) to the South Fork New River. This water body is
classified as a class B, ORW (Outstanding Resource Water).
Since the family has no intentions to ever go back into the dairy business it would be the Division's
recommendation that the waste structure be closed as soon as possible.
Thanks for all your work up there. Let me know if you need any other information.
Melissa

Dear Alton Moxley;
During the 1999 session, the North Carolina General Assembly passed a law directing the North
Carolina Department of Environment of Natural Resources (DENR) to develop an inventory and
ranking of all inactive lagoons and storage ponds in the State. In order to meet this directive, a
representative of DENR has recently evaluated the inactive lagoon(s) and/or storage pond(s) on your
property. Inactive lagoons and storage ponds were defined by the Statute as structures which were
previously used to store animal waste but have not received waste for at least one year.
The information collected on your property is contained in the attached field data sheets. Using
this field data, staff ranked your inactive waste structures as high, medium or low according to its
potential risk for polluting surface and/or groundwater. Your waste structure(s) was ranked as
follows:
Structure Number Surface Area (Acres) Ranking
1 0.1 Medium
This ranking is based in part on the conditions existing on the day of the site visit. Changes in
these conditions or the collection and evaluation of additional data may modify the ranking of your
waste structure(s) in the future.
Information on your facility along with over 1000 others contained in the inventory has been
provided to the General Assembly. During this year's session, the General Assembly will consider
additional requirements for future management of these structures which may include requiring
proper closure of inactive lagoons and storage ponds according to current or alternative standards.

Regardless of their ranking, owners of all waste lagoons and storage ponds have certain
management responsibilities. These include taking appropriate actions to eliminate current
discharges, prevent future discharges and to insure the stability of their structures. Staff of the
Division of Water Quality will be in contact with owners of all inactive structures that have been
determined to pose a serious environmental risk, based on its ranking and/or additional field data
collected by the Department.
All liquids and waste removed from these structures must be land applied at a rate not to exceed
the agronomic needs of the receiving crops. Any major modifications made to the dike walls or
structure must be done in accordance with current standards and under the direction of a technical
specialist designated for structural design. Your local Soil and Water Conservation District is an
excellent source for information and guidance related to proper waste application practices, structure
operation and maintenance, and other related animal waste management standards and/or
requirements.
Nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility and liability for
any past or future discharges from your lagoon(s) and/or storage pond(s) or for any violations of
surface water or groundwater quality standards.
Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in this process. If you have questions concerning
your inactive structures, please contact the staff of either in the Division of Water Quality or the
Division of Soil and Water Conservation in the Winston-Salem Regional Office at [phone].
Sincerely,
Larry Coble
Water Quality Regional Supervisor
