Inactive Waste Lagoons and Storage Ponds
Sizemore Dairy
Facility Number 41-29
Guilford County,
Dear Bruce Sizemore;
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) Rankin
1 0.34 Medium
2 0.2 Medium
3 0.3 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.

Inactive Waste Lagoons and Storage Ponds
Animal Waste Management System
Page 2
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,
-LAy�0.C.�

Dear Mr. Sizemore:
RECEIVED
N.C. Dept, of EHNR
AUG 2 0 1998
Winston --Salem
Regional Office
On September 1-3, an Operational Review will be conducted on your farm, Facility Number 41-29. This review
was done as required by G. S. 143-215.1 D and is one of two visits scheduled for all registered livestock
operations during the 1998 calendar year. The Division of Water Quality should have already conducted an
inspection on your farm. This review will be done by Margaret O'Keefe from the Division of Soil & Water. I will
accompany her on these reviews.
I would like to take this opportunity to recommend that you make a decision to officially close and clean out the
lagoons on your farm. This would greatly reduce your liability for these lagoons as far as potentially running
over, someone getting hurt, and other problems associated with lagoons. The district can assist you in
developing a closure plan for the lagoons. You may be eligible for cost share funds as well.
"An unclosed lagoon is both a danger to the environment and a liability to the farmer. Until it is properly closed there is a
constant threat of a discharge to the surface waters and possible groundwater contamination. If there is ever a discharge
from the structure or groundwater problems are identified, the farmer is subject to enforcement from DWQ for those
problems." From DWQ"s Sixth Guidance Document.
The Guilford Soil and Water Conservation District appreciates your cooperation with this Operations Review.
Please do not hesitate to call me at 336-375-5401 ext. 3, if you have any questions, concerns or need
additional information.
Sincerely,
.. tXkJl�

NCDENR
NORTm CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF
ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
In February of this year, the Division of Water Quality mailed certified letters requesting a status
update to 396 facilities who were listed as an "active" farm on our tracking database but had failed to submit
a Certified Animal Waste Management Plan by December 31, 1997. Since that time, the Division has
worked with 363 of these facilities who have either applied for a Special Agreement, obtained a Certified
Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) or requested removal from the database as an "active" farm.
Attached is a list of the facilities in your region that have failed to respond to the Division's
"Request for Status Update" letters. The Director has requested that we visit each of these facilities and
determine if they are currently in operation above the threshold numbers. A flow diagram is attached to help
show the process for dealing with these facilities.
For facilities that are out of operation or below the threshold, staff should have the facility owner
fill out a Removal Request form (Form RR-1 revised 2/98). It is imperative to have the owner sign this form
because in doing so the owner certifies that he will obtain a CAWMP before coming back into business or
above the threshold number for his type of operation. He also certifies that he understands if he is operating
below the threshold, the Division of Water Quality may still require him to obtain a CAWMP and/or permit
based on the facility's actual or potential impacts on surface waters of the State. If a facility is found to be in
operation and above the threshold, please conduct a normal inspection noting any potential for environmental
impacts. Staff should inform the owner or his onsite representative that because the facility has failed to
obtain and implement a CAWMP and failed to respond to our request for status updates, the Division is
preparing to seek an injunction to stop the =permitted treatment of wastewater at the facility.
Please forward your findings from these inspections to Mr. Shannon Langley of the Non -
Discharge Compliance/Enforcement Unit. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If you have any
questions, please call Shannon Langley at [phone], ext. 581.

and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste management plan for the farm named above and will
implement these procedures. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and
storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new certification to be submitted to the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) before the new animals are stocked. I (we) understand that there must be no discharge of animal waste
from the storage or application system to surface waters of the state either directly through a man-made conveyance or from
a storm event less severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm and there must not be run-off from the application of animal
waste. I (we) understand that run-off of po[Iutants from lounging and heavy use areas must be minimized using technical
standards developed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The approved plan will be filed at the farm and at the
office of the local Soil and Water Conservadon District. I (we) know that any modification must be approved by a
technical specialist and submitted to the Soil and Water Conservation District prior to implementation. A change in land
ownership requires written notification to DWQ or a new certification (if the approved plan is changed) within 60 days of a
title transfer.

I (we) verify that ail the above information is correct and will be updated upon changing. I (we) understand the operation
and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste management plan for the farm named above and will
implement these procedures. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and
storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new certification to be submitted to the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) before the new animals are stocked. I (we) understand that there must be no discharge of animal waste
from the storage or application system to surface waters of the state either directly through a man-made conveyance or from
a storm event less severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm and tbere must not be run-off from the application of animal
waste. I (we) understand that run-off of pollutants from lounging and heavy use areas must be minimized using technical
standards developed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The approved plan will be filed at the farm and at the
office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District. I (we) know that any Modification must be approved by a
technical specialist and submitted to the Soil and Water Conservation District prior to implementation..A change in land
ownership requires written notification to DWQ or a new certification (if the approved plan is changed) within 60 days of a
title transfer.

SUBJECT: Animal Operations who failed to
respond to request for status updates

ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES

In February of this year, the Division of Water Quality mailed certified letters requesting a status
update to 396 facilities who were listed as an "active" farm on our tracking database but had failed to submit
a Certified Animal Waste Management Plan by December 31, 1997. Since that time, the Division has
worked with 363 of these facilities who have either applied for a Special Agreement, obtained a Certified
Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) or requested removal from the database as an "active" farm.
Attached is a list of the facilities in your region that have failed to respond to the Division's
"Request for Status Update" letters. The Director has requested that we visit each of these facilities and
determine if they are currently in operation above the threshold numbers. A flow diagram is attached to help
show the process for dealing with these facilities.
For facilities that are out of operation or below the threshold, staff should have the facility owner
fill out a Removal Re uest.form (Form RR-1 revised 2198) 1t-is imperative to have the owner sign th� i� s o
because in doing so the owner certifies that he will obtain a CAWMP before coming back into business or
above the threshold number for his type of operation. He also certifies that he understands if he is operating
below the threshold, the Division of Water Quality may still require him to obtain a CAWMP and/or permit
based on the facility's actual or potential impacts on surface waters of the State. If a facility is found to be in
operation and above the threshold, please conduct a normal inspection noting any potential for environmental
impacts. Staff should inform the owner or his onsite representative that because the facility has failed to
obtain and implement a CAWMP and failed to respond to our request for status updates, the Division is
preparing to seek an injunction to stop the unpermitted treatment of wastewater at the facility.
Please forward your findings from these inspections to Mr. Shannon Langley of the Non -
Discharge Compliance/Enforcement Unit. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If you have any
questions, please call Shannon Langley at [phone], ext. 581.

In accordance with State Regulations (15A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1)(E)) adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission on February 1, 1993, the owner of the subject facility was required to submit a
Certification Form for the facility's animal waste management system by December 31, 1997.
In a letter dated February 11, 1998, received by you on February 14, 1998, this office advised you that
we had no record of having received the required Certification for the subject facility. Our letter further
requested that you provide this office with an explanation as to why this Certification was not submitted as
required This explanation was due by March 16, 1998. To date we have received no response from you.
Any existing facility owner which did not submit the required certification by the deadline is no longer
deemed permitted to operate their animal waste management system. Therefore, if the certification was not
submitted as required and the facility is still in operation, this facility is being operated without a valid
permit. N.C.G.S. 143-215.6(b) allows the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources to take appropriate enforcement actions for this violation for as long as the violation continues.
As per Senate Bill 1217, which was ratified on June 21, 1996, the Environmental Management
Commission (EMC) may enter into a special agreement with facilities that did not meet the December 31,
1997 deadline. These special agreements can only be issued to facility owners which signed up for assistance
with their local Soil and Water Conservation District Office by September 1, 1996 and which can
demonstrate that they made a good faith effort to meet the December 31, 1997 deadline. The special
agreement, if issued, would contain a specific schedule for the facility to follow to develop and/or implement
an approved animal waste management plan. Attached is an application for a special agreement between the
EMC and the subject facility. If you can demonstrate that this facility can meet the conditions for a special
agreement, you may send this request along with your explanation as to why the plan has not been developed
and implemented.

Dear Mr. Sizemore:
An inspection of your facility
in conjunction with Mr. John Andrews

of the NRCS in Guilford County. Nobody was
so Mr. Linville could not discuss issues
The facility is not operational at this time and it is our understanding
that you do not intend to restart hog farming on the site. Please be advised
that it is necessary that the lagoons at this facility be properly cleaned and
closed according to NRCS guidelines for hog lagoon closure. Until this is
accomplished, any discharge of waters from these lagoons will constitute an
illegal discharge.

prevent any potential discharges by properly closing these lagoons. If you have
any questions about this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Ron

Dear Mr Sizemore:
About a year ago, Ron Linville with the NC Division of Water
Quality (formerly Environmental Management) and I visited
your hog operation on Sizemore Road that had not been in
operation for several. years. The site appears to have 3
lagoons that were used in the operation. The visit was in
connection of inspections being conducted on al.1 livestock
operations across the state.
On November 22, 1995, Mr Linville sent you a letter
indicating that no wastewater deficiencies were observed and
recommended that proper abandonment procedures be considered
for the three lagoons.
About a week ago, Mr Linville called with information on
abandoned sites and suggested that I contact you. It seems
that a new rule or regulation will soon be coming out that
requires that all abandoned lagoons should be closed out
prior to 12/31/97. Any overflow or discharge after that date
would be subject to fines and open the operator to third
party lawsuits.
We have technical standards for proper closure of abandoned
lagoons and possible financial assistance through the NC
Agricultural Cost Share Program. If you wish to request
technical assistance and be considered for cost -sharing,
please complete the attached form and mail back to this
office. Any requests received after September 1, 1996 cannot
be assured of technical assistance prior to the 12/31/97
deadline.
If=you have any questions, please
myse' at 333�-5400 in Greensboro.
