DWQ- -CIVIL ASSESSMENT REMISSION FACTORS CONSIDERATION
Case Number: DV 04-016 Region: WSRO County: Randolph _
Assessed Entity: Ridge Farm (owner -Phil Ridge, leasee-Arlin Buttke, and OIC-Wayne Buttke)
On June 17, 2004 WSRO staff responded to a complaint alleging the presence of animal waste, sludge,
foam and a strong odor in Back Creek (WS II, HQW). Staff observed a mix of animal waste and silage
leachate flowing from an in -ground silo at the Ridge Farm, traveling downhill into a freshwater collection
box, then into a ditch, and then ultimately discharging into waters of the State. The silo was covered with
plastic sheeting, tires, and solid animal waste from the pack barn. During rain events, both the solid
animal waste from atop the plastic and the accumulated leachate was washed into the freshwater
collection box.
The instream DO=I.00 mg/L and the pH=3.7 S.U. at the discharge site. Downstream sampling was
performed 1.3 miles downstream (complainant's property) from the discharge site. Even at this distance,
the odor was extremely pungent, BOD was 96 mg/L, TKN as N=8 mg/L, and the DO was still only 2.04
mg/L. The presence of sludge deposits and sludge worms was also evident downstream.
{) Whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors were wrongly applied to the detriment of
the petitioner;
Notes:
(X} Whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation;
Notes: The WSRO concludes that the operator knew that the discharge had been occurring for at least
several days. In statements to WSRO staff during the investigation, the operator stated that he "had noticed
a small trickle from the silo, but did not realize that it was entering surface waters" (see 6/17/04 compliance
inspection). Only after being contacted by DWQ did the operator begin to abate the discharge. The
presence of sludge deposits and worms in the creek suggests that there had been an increase in nutrients
and decrease in DO in the creek for some time.
{X} Whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
Notes: Mr. Buttke maintains that the discharge was "an inadvertent situation." The WSRO contends that
both the leasee and the operator previously knew of the potential for a discharge from the silo (see 11/06/00
DWQ and 9/25/01 SWCD inspections). In fact, in 2001 Mr. Buttke installed a concrete "speed -bump" to
help contain leachate from the silo. The WSRO asserts that the discharge potential was recently increased
because Mr. Buttke allowed the silo to be over -filled (past the "speed -bumps") in early June of 2004.
O Whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
Notes: Mr. Ridge has not previously been assessed. Mr. Buttke, however, was assessed $8,719.88 ($8000
remitted) in 1986 and $19,775.05 in 1991 for discharge violations on another farm owned by him in
Randolph County.
O Whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial
actions.

Hey there ... two questions:
1. Is Ridge Farm (Randolph Co.) on the agenda for next Wed.? (Buttke is the leasee/operator).
2. If so, I had heard that the format has changed for discussions. What type of written material
should I prepare for my supervisor? I don't think we want to allow any remission. Was $4000,
Buttke wants $2000.

IN THE MATTER OF
PHIL RIDGE
FOR MAKING AN OUTLET TO THE
WATERS OF THE STATE OF
NORTH CAROLINA
WITHOUT A PERMIT
NORTH CAROLINA
DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND
NATURAL RESOURCES
FILE NO. DV 04-016
FINDINGS AND DECISION
AND ASSESSMENT OF
CIVIL PENALTIES
Acting pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I,
Theodore L. Bush, Jr., Chief of the Aquifer Protection Section of the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ), make the following:
I. FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. Phil Ridge owns Ridge Farm, a cattle operation located on Plainfield Road in
Randolph County. Ridge Farm is leased and operated by Arlin Buttke of Buttke
Dairy Enterprises, Inc.
B. Phil Ridge was issued Certificate of Coverage No. AWC760025 under General
Permit AWG200000 on May 1, 2003 with an effective date of May 1, 2003, and
having an expiration of October 1, 2004. This permit does not allow the discharge
of waste to waters of the State.
C. On June 17, 2004, in response to a complaint, DWQ staff inspected Ridge Farm.
Staff observed a discharge of animal and silage waste flowing from an in -ground
silo via a freshwater ditch to an unnamed tributary to Back Creek. Back Creek is
a Class WS-II HQW water of the State within the Yadkin River Basin.
D. Phil Ridge had no valid permit for the above -described activity,
E. The cost to the State for the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled
S966.96.

Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following:
II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
A. Phil Ridge is a "person" within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.6A pursuant to G.S.
143-212(4).
B. The unnamed tributary to Back Creek constitutes waters of the State within the
meaning of G.S. 143-215.1 pursuant to G.S. 143-212(6).
C. The above -cited discharge constitutes making an outlet to waters of the State for
purposes of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1), for which a permit is required by G.S. 143-
215.1.
D. Phil Ridge may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G.S. I43-
215,6A(a)(2), which provides that a civil penalty of not more than twenty-five

Melissa Rosebrock
Subject: Recommendation for Civil Penalty
Ridge Farm, #76-25
Randolph County
Please find attached, documents supporting the Winston-Salem Regional Office's request for a
civil penalty assessment against Ridge Farm. This request is based on the most recent site inspection
conducted June 17, 2004 in response to a complaint alleging the presence of animal waste, sludge, foam,
and a strong waste odor emanating from Back Creek.
On the date of the complaint investigation, staff observed animal manure, mixed with silage
leachate, flowing from an in -ground silo at the Ridge Farm. The waste was observed flowing from the
silo, traveling downhill a few feet into a freshwater collection box, then ultimately discharging into an
unnamed tributary to Back Creek (Class WS11 HQW). Several field parameters were recorded and waste
samples obtained for analysis. As the attached sample summary indicates, the discharged waste had a
profound affect on the instream BOD, nutrient, fecal coliform, DO, pH, and turbidity measurements. .
We request that you initiate appropriate action from your office and forward the package to the
Water Quality Director for assessment. The following items are also being transmitted for your review:
A) A completed "Findings and Decisions and Assessment of Civil Penalties."
B) Two copies of a completed "Water Quality Enforcement Case Assessment Factors."
C) Most recent correspondence between violator and DWQ, including two copies of
"NOV/NOI 10-day letter."
D) Two signed copies of the most recent DWQ Compliance Inspection (June 18, 2004
complaint).
E) Map depicting area of investigation.
F) Site diagram.
G) Photographs of the discharge violations observed on June 17, 2004.
H) Field parameters, sample results, and COCs. A summary page outlining the
laboratory results is also attached.

ENFORCEMENT CASE ASSESSMENT FACTORS
Type: DV
Violator: Phil Ridge (owner)
Address: 3562 Plainfield Road
Sophia, NC 27350
Randolph County
Responsible Party. Phil Ridge
Regional Office: Winston-Salem
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 violations:
The negligent discharge and ensuing violations harmed both natural. resources and private
property. The resulting pH and dissolved oxygen levels were well outside the conditions required
for aquatic life. In fact, the discharge material actually killed most of the fecal coliform bacteria
in the instream sample obtained at the discharge point
The downstream sampling site was located on the complai.ntant's property and was 1.3 miles
from of the discharge point. Even at this distance, the odor was extremely pungent, BOD was 96
mg/L, TKN as Navas determined to be 8.0 mg/L, and the DO was still only 2.04 mg/L. The
presence of sludge mats and numerous sludge worms was also evident. Complete sampling
results are included as "Attachment G."
To date, this office has not received any reports regarding harm to the public's health. The
receiving stream ultimately flows into Lake Lucas, (secondary water supply for the City of
Asheboro), so DWQ staff also notified Randolph County Emergency Management of the
discharge.
2. The duration and gravity of the violations:
It is estimated that the discharge had been occurring for at least two weeks. The complaintant's
visual and physical observations also coincide with the operator's estimate of when the silo was
filled and covered with animal waste. The presence of sludge worms in the stream is also
indicative of a chronic waste discharge_
3. The effect on ground or surface water quality or quantity or on air quality:
Animal waste has the potential to deplete dissolved oxygen in the affected water body to a point
which is harmful to aquatic life. Waste water also contains nutrients. which -have the potential to
spawn algal growth to the point which is harmful to aquatic life.

Samples were collected upstream from the facility, at the point of discharge and approximately
1.3 miles downstream. Complete results are illustrated in the attached "DWQ Sampling Results
Summary" (attachment G). At the point of discharge: BOD was determined to be 26,000, while
TKN as N was 1,800 mg/L, pH was only 3.7, turbidity was 180 mg/L, and total phosphorus was
determined to be 330 mg/L.
4. The cost of rectifying the damage:
Unknown, however, costs would include mostly labor charges for moving the silage and removal
of the solid waste from the silo. A labor cost is also involved in pumping the liquid waste from
the collection box and depositing it into the waste storage pond. This will increase the volume of
waste to be applied, which is an additional labor and equipment cost. The operator has begun
fencing the cattle from the -surface water ditch with an unknown cost of materials and labor to
be considered as well.
5. The amount of money saved by noncompliance:
None. It is estimated that putting the silage and manure into the silo actually cost the operator
money in terms of labor.
6. Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally:
The WSRO does not believe this violation to have been committed willfully or intentionally.
Our investigation concludes that the violations were, however, a result of negligence and lack of
good judgment by both Arlin and Wayne Buttke who were responsible for arranging the
.placement of the silage and solid manure in the silo. DWQ staff also observed that the silage had
been packed on the downslope side of a concrete, barrier, which had been installed to contain
any potential leachate.
This office also concludes that the operator of the farm knew that the discharge was and had
been occurring for at least several days. In statements to DWQ staff on the date of our
investigation, the operator confirmed that he "had noticed a small trickle from the silo, but did
not realize that it was entering surface waters." It is this office's opinion, however, that the
owner, Phil Ridge, was not aware of the discharge prior to the date of our investigation.
7. The prior record of the violator in failing to comply with programs over which the
Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority:
Ridge,Farm #7()-25 — Owned by Phil Ridge and leased/operated by Arlin Buttke of Buttke
Dairy nterpris�
March 1997 — DWQ issues NOV for failure to designate an operator.
November 2000 - DWQ issues NOD for leaking loading pipe and failure to install a gauged
market, denuded stream banks, and incomplete records.
Buttke Dairy Enterprise #76-12 - owned by Arlin Buttke:
December 1986 — DWQ assesses $8,719.88 ($8, 000 remitted) for discharge violation case no.
WQ 8b-056.
September 1991 — DWQ assesses $19,775.05 for discharge violation in case no. DV 91-003.

January 2002 — DWQ issues NOV for failure to certify a newly constructed structure, over -
application of waste, failure to install a gauged marker, and failure to apply waste properly.
March 2002 — DWQ issues NOV for insufficient freeboard.
July 2003 — DWQ rescinds NOV/issues NOD for insufficient freeboard.
8. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures:
Central Office Review and Processing = $ 100.00
20 hours by investigator for investigating and
drafting report(s) @ $22.27/hr. _ $ 445.40
Mileage @ 0.31 per mile for 74 miles. = $ 22.94
Laboratory costs
_ $ 354.12
1.0 hour by Water Quality Regional Supervisor
for review @ $ 29.50/hr. _ $ 29.50
1.0 hour for clerical support @ $15,00/hr. S 15.00
Total W $ 966.96
9. Type of violator and general nature of business (i.e. individual vs. large corporation):
Violator is an individual owner of the property that is leased to Arlin Buttke. Mr. Buttke
maintains and operates a dairy cattle operation on this property.
10. Violator's degree of cooperation (including efforts to prevent or restore) or recalcitrance:
After DWQ staff contacted Buttke Dairy Enterprise, the facility's certified operator (Wayne
Buttke) and his son were onsite within the hour. Wood shavings were immediately piled at the
end of the silo to absorb the leachate and to cease the discharge. The operator also obtained a
pump and began removing the liquid waste from the collection box and transferred the waste
into a spreader tank while DWQ was onsite. The reclaimed waste was then transferred into the
facility's waste storage pump. The response letter received by DWQ indicates that the facility is
continuing this practice.
The response letter also states that plans have begun to fence cattle from the freshwater ditch so
that this area no longer conveys any animal waste from the lot into surface waters.
11. Mitigating circumstances:
None.
12. Owner of property where the discharge occurred:
Phil Ridge
13. Pictures of discharge (optional):
Digital photos depicting the discharge violation are attached.

i 4. Assessment Factors:
a) MC: unknown.
b) Receiving stream: Unnamed tributary to Back Creek, Class WSII HQW Waters of the State.
c) Damage: The financial amount cannot be determined. The downstream "recipient" of the
discharge certainly suffered a loss of the use of their outdoor recreational facilities and the
stream for several weeks.

Complaint/Discharge Investigation
Ridge Farm, 476-25
Randolph County,
Dear Mr. Ridge:
This letter is to summarize the, findings of a June 17, 2004 investigation resulting from a complaint
received by the Division of Water Quality's Winston-Salem Regional Office (DWQ-WSRO). The complaintant
alleged the presence of dairy waste, sludge, and foam in Back Creek in Randolph County. The caller also stated
that the water was discolored and that there was a very strong waste odor emanating from the creek. 'YN'SRO
staff determined the source of the discharge to be an in -ground silo located at the Ridge Farm, which is leased
by Mr. Arlin Buttke of Buttke Dairy Enterprises. A" "Final Notes" copy our investigation is attached for your
review.
Per staff observations and statements made by Mr. Wayne Buttke, certified animal waste operator, the
silos had been filled about two weeks prior, then covered with plastic, tires, and dry waste from the pack-bam_
The waste was observed flowing from the silo and downhill into a collection box, where it was then discharged
from a 16" (approximately) plastic pipe and into a freshwater ditch. The unpermitted discharge continued
downhill through the drainage ditch where it entered an unnamed tributary to Back Creek (Class WSII, HQW
waters of the State), a total of over 700 feet from the silo. Back Creek, you will note, flows directly into Lake
Lucas, which is a secondary water supply for the City of Asheboro.
Staff also obtained discharge, upstream, and downstream samples for analysis of biochemical oxygen
demand (BOD), nutrients; pH, dissolved oxygen (DO); temperature, and turbidity. We are still awaiting the
results for some of these analyses. Photographs depicting the discharge were also obtained. Failure to acquire
a permit prior to malting an outlet to waters of the State or to cause or permit any waste to be discharged
to waters of the State is a violation of NCGS 143-215.1. Please respond, in writing, stating how you propose
to eliminate the potential for this type of'unpermitted discharge in the future.
Staff observed, however, that Mr. Buttke's certified operator (Mr. Wayne Buttke) and son were
cooperative and promptly abated the discharge after Buttke Dairy Enterprises was contacted by the 'AISRO. It
was noted that several yards of wood shavings were stockpiled at the low end of the silo -to absorb the waste
leachate and to cease the discharge of waste into the collection box. The operator also obtained a pump and
began removing the liquid waste from the collection box and transferring the waste into a spreader tank. It is

our expectation that the reclaimed waste has been transferred into the waste storage pond located at the
facility. Please indicate if/when this task was completed.
DV7Q staff also documented some additional eater quality concerns and violations. Specifically, the
pH of the surface water at the point of discharge was documented to be 3.7 units, which is a violation of the
NC "Water Quality Standards for Freshwater Classifications." NC Water Quality Standards state that the pH
in the -receiving stream must be between 6.0 and 9.0 units. The pH of the water approximately 1.3 miles
downstream was still only 6.12 units. The DO level in Back Creek was measured to be 1.00 mg/L at the
discharge site and only 2.04 mg/L,1.3 miles downstream from the discharge site. Again, this is a violation of
the NC "Water Quality Standards" which states that the DO in the receiving stream must be at least 5.0
mg/L.
During the June 17, 2004 investigation, DWQ staff further observed that the drainage ditch,
mentioned above, runs through a partially denuded cantle lot below the silos. This office strongly suggests
that cattle be excluded from the ditch in order to reduce further and/or future run-off of sediment and manure
into Back Creek. Please state in your written response, your plans for addressing this continuing source of
waste from Ridge Farm.
The WSRO is proposing an enforcement action against you for the above referenced violations. If
you have justification that these violations were caused by circumstances beyond your control, or you have
an explanation that you wish to present, please respond in writing within ten (10) days following receipt of
this notice. The WSRO will review your response and forward it to the VX'ater Quality Section Chief with the
enforcement package. In the absence of any justification, the Regional Office will recommend that an
enforcement action be taken immediately. Be advised that North Carolina General Statutes now provide
for penalties of up to S25,000 per day per violation as well as criminal penalties for violations of state
environmental laws and regulations.

SUBJECT: Response to Notice of Violation
Ridge Farm # 76-25
Randolph County
Dear Mr. Tedder,
This letter is being written 'in response to the Notice of Violation/ Notice of
Intent to Enforce , complaint that we received July 9, 2004. Location. Ridge farm
# -76-25 , in Randolph County.
Pm very disappointed and sincerely regret that waste and silage seepage from
Silo located at Ridge Farm on Plainfield Rd. entered.an unnamed tribuiary to Back
Creek. This situation came as a complete surprise and was absolutely unintentional.
Steve Mathis supplies and harvest our silage. We had a empty silo located at
Ridge Farm and Mr. Mathis requested that he bring silage from his farm located in North
Wilkeboro and store it in our silo located at Ridge Farm. Mr. Mathis filled this silo the
first two weeks of .Tune 2004. Apparently this silage was so wet , that along with the rain
fall on it while the silo was being filled caused the silo to seep an unusually large amount
of waste ieachate.
This is a leased farm , where no cows are being milked and subsequently I
never had cause to visit the silo and I was not aware of any problem. Just as soon as Ms
Rosebrock called my office someone was on the way to review the situation . My brother
,(Wayne) and his son , (Otto) immediately upon being informed of this problem , took
charge and.promptly stopped the leakage from entering the stream.
We are presently catching all seepage in a collection box and then pumping it
into a liquid manure spreader tanl..
Also during the investigation DWQ obsevered that a drainage ditch that runs
through a cattle lot below the silo may have contributed to the problem. The cattle in this
lot is being limited to use of this lot only during dry conditions . Plans to fence out the
ditch area are in process. - I will remove cattle immediately if deemed necessary.

Our annual inspection is coming up soon. At that time whatever additional
measures are required will be taken care of immediately .
This xiolation was a very unfortunante accident and was absolutely
unintentional .1 take the duties and obligations of the DWQ to be very serious
and important .1 am very sorry to have caused anyone problems and stress over this
accident . 1 have come to totally respect the DWQ and other agencies who protect our
environment . I realize it is our future.
Dairy farming has fallen on hard times . I am aware that fines can be levied
against me, I can only plead with you that a fine will not be brought against Buttke Dairy
considing the facts and knowing this was an accident . Your consideration will be
appreciated.

tack Creels (Class Vl'S II; HQW)_ Caller also stated that there was a very strong odor in the creek. Derei: Denard and myself responded
the call.
Mudge, foam, waste and a very strong odor were observed in the stream at the complaintant's residence. Sludge worms were also present
Z the solid matter in the creek. Additionally, the surface water was a "brownish" color,
taff tracked the source of the discharge to the Ridge Farm. Specifically, a discharge of silage leachate and solid/liquid manure was
bserved flowing from one of the in -ground silos at the time of the investigation. According to staff observations and statements by Mr.
Vayne Buttke, the silos had been filled within the last two weeks, then covered with plastic. Solid waste from the pack barn was placed
n top of the plastic to "push the air out from under the plastic." Several tires were also placed on top of the silage/plastic/manure.
'he discharge was observed flowing from the silo and downhill into a collection box, where it was then discharged from a 16" black
clastic pipe and into a freshwater drainage ditch. The discharge continued downhill through the drainage ditch where it entered an
nnamed tributary to Back Creek (approximately 720 feet from the silo). Several photos were taken of the discharge source and receiving
rater. Staff also obtained pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen readings upstream of the discharge point, (Continued on Page 3)

at the discharge, and downstream from the discharge. DWQ staff also took samples of the receiving stream to be analyzed for fecal
coliforru, nutrients, biochemical oxygen demand, and turbidity.
After determining the source of the unpermitted discharge, Buttke Dairy Enterprises was notified of the discharge by DWQ and the
certified operator (Wayne Buttke) and his son (Auto) were on site within the hour. Wood shavings were piled at the low end of the silo
to absorb the leachate and to cease the discharge from the silo. The operator obtained a pump and began removing the liquid waste
from the collection box and transferred the waste into a spreader tank while DWQ was onsite. The reclaimed waste was then to be
transferred into the facility's waste storage pond. The discharge had ceased prior to DWQ leaving the site.
3. There is a drainage ditch that runs through a partially denuded cattle lot beioty the silos. Suggest excluding cattle from the ditch to
reduce further sediment and manure run-off into the freshwater drainage ditch.
7. Still need to backfill waste pond embankment. Check next visit.
26. Facility did not notify DWQ of discharge from the silo into the drainage ditch. Mr. Buttke stated that he had recently observed a
small trickle from the silo, but did not realize that it was entering surface waters.
28. DWQ will be performing this. facility's annual compliance inspection within the next two months. Will check conditions again at
that time.

1 Since the discharge occurred near the headwaters of the unnamed tributary, the water level at the upstream sampling site.was only about two inches
deep.
2 Per discussion with lab personnel, it is likely that the characteristics of the discharge made conditions unsuitable for fecal coliform survival and
actually resulted in a toxic effect on the bacteria.
3 The NC water quality standard for dissolved oxygen is 4.0 mg/l (instantaneous minimum).
"The NC water quality standard for pH is 6.0-9.0
s The NC water quality standard for turbidity in this stream is 50.0 NTU (or existing turbidity cannot exceed background levels).
`'New NPDES waste3vater dischargers have effluent limitations as follows: BOD5 = 5 mg/L, NH3-N = 2 mg/L and DO = 6 mg/L.
7 The human health standard for fecal coliform is 200 colonies /100 ml (maximum).

1 Since the discharge occurred near the headwaters of the unnamed tributary, the water level at the upstream sampling site was only about two inches
deep.
2 Per discussion with lab personnel, it is likely that the characteristics of the discharge made conditions unsuitable for fecal coliform survival and
actually resulted in a toxic effect on the bacteria.
3 The NC water quality standard for dissolved oxygen is 4.0 mg/l (instantaneous minimum).
4 The NC water quality standard for pH is 6.0-9.0
5 The NC water quality standard for turbidity in this stream is 50.0 NTU (or existing turbidity cannot exceed background levels).
6 New NPDES wastewater dischargers have effluent limitations as follows: BOD5 = 5 mg/L, NH3-N = 2 mg/L and DO = 6 mg/L.
7 The human health standard for fecal coliform. is 200 colonies /100 ml (maximum).

SUBJECT: Response to Notice of Violation
Ridge Farm # 76-25
Randolph County
Dear Mr. Tedder,
This letter is being written in response to the Notice of Violation/ Notice of
Intent to Enforce, complaint that we received July 9, 2004. Location - Ridge farm
# 75-25 , in Randolph County.
I'm very disappointed and sincerely regret that waste and silage seepage from
Silo located at Ridge Farrn on Plainfield Rd. entered an unnamed tributary to Bach
Creek. This situation came as a complete surprise and was absolutely unintentional.
Steve Mathis supplies and harvest our silage. We had a empty silo located at
Ridge Farm and Mr. Mathis requested that he bring silage from his farm located in North
Wilkeboro and store it in our silo located at .Ridge Farm. Mr. Mathis filled this silo the
first two weeks of June 2004. Apparently this silage was so wet , that along with the rain
fall on it while the silo was being filled caused the silo to seep an unusually large amount
of waste leachatc.
This is a leased farm, where no cows are being milked and subsequently I
never had cause to visit the silo and I was not aware of any problem. Just as soon as Ms
Rosebrock called my office someone was on the way to review the situation , My brother
,(Wayne) and his son, (Otto) immediately upon bring informed of this problem , took
charge and promptly stopped the leakage from entering the stream.
We are presently catching all seepage in a collection box and then pumping it
into a liquid manure spreader tame.
Also during the investigation DWQ obsevered that a drainage ditch that runs
through a cattle lot below the silo may have contributed to the problem. The cattle in this
lot is being limited to use of this lot only during dry conditions . Plans to fence out the
ditch area are in process. I will remove cattle immediately if deemed necessary. .

07/19/2004 16:29 3364951394
BUTTKE DAIRY MAIN OF _ � _ ` _PAGE 03
Our annual inspection is coming up coon. At that time whatever additional
measures are required will be taken care of immediately .
This violation was a very unfortunante accident and was absolutely
unintentional . I take the duties and obligations of the DWQ to be very serious
and important . I am very sorry to have caused anyone problems and stress over this
accident . i have come to totally respect the DWQ and other agencies who protect our
envirotunent . I realize it is our future.
Dairy farming has fallen on hard times . I aria aware that fines can be levied
against me, I can only plead with you that a fine will not be brougbt against Buttke Dairy
considing the facts and knowing this was an accident. Your consideration will be
appreciated.
Si crely,
Arlin Bunke/ Buttke Dairy Enterprise

DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY
CIVIL PENALTY REMISSION FACTORS
Case Number: DV-2013-0001 Region: Winston-Salem County: Randolph
Assessed Entity: Phillip Ridge Permit: AWC760025
❑ (a) Whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors were wrongly applied to the
detriment of the petitioner:
0 (b) Whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation:
The violator's response to DWQ was immediate, thorough, and professional. When DWQ•WSRO notified -the
violator that we would be investigating a complaint alleging the discharge of waste from Ridge Farm on October
25, 2012' (the day DWQ was made aware of the complaint), the farm manager and soon -to -be OIC were
available and waiting when APS staff arrived two hours later.
The waste storage structure was the first area to be inspected. The discharge was not readily apparent to DWQ,
or the Ridge Farm employees, when viewed from the vantage of the push -off ramp. The waste level was well
below the maximum and there was no indication that the waste level had ever been above the maximum.
Ridge Farm representatives walked several hundred feet of field and stream with DWQ staff in search of the
alleged discharge. When waste was discovered in the dry stream bed, the Ridge Farm staff was actually as eager
to find the source of the animal waste as DWQ staff. The source of the discharge was ultimately determined to
be a deteriorated concrete cover and previously capped PVC pipe. The PVC pipe had been covered .with soil
until damaged by equipment traffic. The violator made immediate efforts (within the hour) to abate the
discharge; mitigate the impacts of the waste to surface waters; and to repair the broken PVC pipe and
deteriorated concrete cover in the catch basin.
Lime was spread over the entire length of the discharge, from the WSP to the dry stream bed. The waste pond
embankment was mowed and an OIC was designated within two weeks. The violator, farm manager, and soon -
to -be OIC updated DWQ daily and then weekly until soil was re -packed around the repaired PVC pipe.
Z (c) Whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident:
The WSRO believes the violation to be inadvertant. Yes, the discharge was hidden by excessively tall vegetation
on the embankment (a violation) and yes the discharge could have been discovered earlier had the farm
designated an OIC as required by their permit. Our office does not, however, believe the discharge to have been
intentional.
When the violator was notified by the complainant that there was waste coming from the storage structure, the
waste level would not have indicated this to be true. Our office maintains that the discharge would probably
have been discovered by an OIC before the waste reached the stream, had the farm employed a certified
operator. Please note that the violator is not seeking remission for these violations.
❑ (d) Whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations:
❑ (e) Whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions:

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 Quality 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 14313-2k. l (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 the Division of Water Quality 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 anal thorough statement in support of your request for i emission.
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 Quality also requests that you complete
and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should be submitted to the
following address:

FINDING AND DECISION
AND ASSESSMENT OF
CIVIL PENALTIES
Acting pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), I, Keith Larick, Supervisor of
the Animal Feeding Operations Unit of the DWQ, make the following:
L FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. Phillip Ridge owns Ridge Farm,, a permitted cattle operation in Randolph County.
B. Phillip Ridge was issued Certificate of Coverage AWC760025 by the Division of Water
Quality, under General Permit AWG200000 for Ridge Farm on March 18, 2010, effective
upon issuance, with an expiration date of September 30, 2014.
C. G.S. 143-215. I (a) states that "No person shall do the following things or carry out any of the
following activities unless that person has received a permit from the Commission and has
complied with all conditions set forth in the permit: make any outlets into the waters of the
State".
D. Condition No. 1. 1. of General Permit AWG200000 states in part that "Any discharge of
waste which reaches surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as otherwise provided in
this General Permit and associated statutory and regulatory provisions. Waste shall not
reach surface waters or wetlands by runoff, drift manmade conveyance, direct application,
and direct discharge or through ditches not otherwise classified as State waters."
E. Condition No. 11.12. of General Permit AWG200000 states in part that "Lagoon/storage
pond areas shall be accessible, and vegetation shall be kept mowed."
F. Condition No. 11.16. of the General Permit AWG200000 states that "The permittee shall
designate a certified animal waste management system operator with a valid certification to
be in charge of the animal waste management system. The waste management system shall
be operated by the Operator in Charge (OIC) or a person under the OIC's supervision."

i�
G. Condition No. III.L of the General Permit AWG200000 states in part that "An inspection of
the waste collection, treatment, and storage structures, and runoff control measures shall be
conducted and documented at a frequency to insure proper operation but at least monthly
and after all storm events of greater than each one (1) inch in 24 hours."
H. On October 25, 2012, DWQ staff from Winston-Salem Regional office received a complaint
concerning a discharge of animal waste at the Ridge Farm facility. DWQ staff visited the site
and observed that animal waste was discharging through a PVC pipe in the embankment of
the waste storage pond and that animal waste was flowing downhill at least 300 yards, and
into Waters of the State. The discharge occurred into an unnamed tributary to Back Creek,
Class WS-II HQW waters within the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin. On the date of the
discharge investigation, the discharge was not visible from the cattle lot due to excessive
vegetation on the embankment. Vegetation on the waste pond embankment was 3-4 feet
high. A February 21, 2012 compliance inspection report stated that Ridge Farm "must
spray/mow/weed eat" the waste pond embankment. Ridge Farm did not have an OIC from
June 2012 to November 6, 2012.
1. Phillip Ridge had no valid permit for the above -described activity.
J. On November 16, 2012, the Division issued a Notice of Violation/Notice of Intent to
Enforce (NOV/NOI) to Phillip Ridge identifying violations of N.C.G.S. 143-215.1 and
General Permit No. AWG200000.
K. The NOV/NOI Notice was sent Certified Mail, return receipt requested and received by
Phillip Ridge on November 21, 2012. DWQ received Phillip Ridge's written responses on
November 30, and December 4, 2012.
L. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $1013.72
Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following:
II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
A. Phillip Ridge is a "person" within the meaning of N.C.G.S. 143.215.6A pursuant to
N.C.G.S. 143-212(4).
B. The unnamed tributary to Back Creek constitutes waters of the State within the meaning of
G.S. 143-215.1 pursuant to G.S. 143-212(6).
C. A permit for an animal waste management system is required by N.C.G.S. 143-215.1.
D. The above -cited discharge constituted making an outlet to waters of the State for purposes of
G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1), for which G.S. 143-215.1 requires a permit. The discharge also
violated Condition 1. l of General Permit AWG200000.
E. The above -cited failure to mow the waste storage pond area constitutes a violation of
Condition No. I1. 12. of the General Permit AWG200000.
F. The above -cited failure to designate a certified animal waste management system operator
violated Condition No. I1.16. of General Permit AWG200000.

G. The above -cited failure to inspect the waste collection and storage structure at least monthly
and at a frequency to insure_ proper operation violated Condition 1H.1. of General Permit
AWG200000.
H. N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2) provides that a civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00 may
be assessed against a person who fails to apply for or to secure a permit required by
N.C.G.S. 143-2I5.1, or who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions,
or requirements of a permit required by N.C.G.S. 143-215.1.
I. N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A(b) provides that if any failure to act as required by the rules is
continuous, a civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00 per violation may be assessed for
each day the violation continues.
N.C.G.S. 143-215.3(a)(9) and N.C.G.S. 14313-282.1(b)(8) provides that the reasonable costs
of any investigation, inspection or monitoring survey may be assessed against a person who
violates any regulations, standards, or limitations adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission or violates any terms or conditions of any permit issued pursuant
to N.C.G.S. 143-215.1, or special order or other document issued pursuant to N.C.G.S. 143-
215.2.
K. The Supervisor of the Animal Feeding Operations Unit, Division of Water Quality, pursuant
to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, has the authority to assess civil

CIVIL PENALTY REMISSION FACTORS
Case Number: DV-2013-0001 Region: Winston-Salem County: Randolph
Assessed Entity: Phillip Ridge Permit: AWC760025
❑ (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:
The violator's response to DWQ was immediate, thorough, and professional. When DWQ-WSRO notified the
violator that we would be investigating a complaint alleging the discharge of waste from Ridge Farm on October
25, 2012 (the day DWQ was trade aware of the complaint), the farm manager and soon -to -be OIC were
available and waiting when APS staff arrived two hours later.
The waste storage structure was the first area to be inspected. The discharge was not readily apparent to DWQ,
or the Ridge Farm employees, when viewed from the vantage of the push -off ramp. The waste level was well
below the maximum and there was no indication that the waste level had ever been above the maximum.
Fig. I Push -off ramp located in front of barn.
Note excessive vegetation around the waste stream which has been pulled away
for this photo.
Ridge Farm representatives walked several hundred feet of field and stream with DWQ staff in search of the
alleged discharge. When waste was discovered in the dry stream bed, the Ridge Farm staff was actually as eager
to find the source of the animal waste as DWQ staff. The source of the discharge was ultimately detennined to
be a deteriorated concrete cover and previously capped -pipe. The pipe had been covered with soil until
equipment traffic recently damaged the pipe. The violator made immediate efforts (within the hour) to abate the
discharge; mitigate the impacts of the waste to surface waters; and to repair the broken pipe and deteriorated
concrete cover in the catch basin.

Fig. 2 End of pipe. damaged pipe. /
Waste has been covered Pipe used to convey waste to WSP since 1990s. '
with time.

The end of the pipe which was damaged was repaired and capped within hours of our visit. The end of the pipe
originating from the catch basin was filled with concrete. Lime was spread over the entire length of the
discharge, from the WSP to the dry stream bed. The waste pond embankment was mowed and an 01C was
designated within two weeks. The violator, farm manager, and soon -to -be OiC updated DWQ daily and then
weekly until soil was re -packed around the repaired pipe.
® (c) Whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident:
The WSRO believes the violation to be inadvertant. Yes, the discharge was hidden by excessively tall vegetation
on the embankment (a violation) and yes the discharge could have been discovered earlier had the farm
designated an OIC as required by their permit. Our office does not, however, believe the discharge to have been
intentional.
When the violator was notified by the complainant that there was waste coming from the storage structure, the
waste level would not have indicated this to be true. Our office maintains that the discharge would probably
have been discovered by an OIC before the waste reached the stream, had the farm employed a certified
operator. Please note that the violator is not seeking remission for these violations.
❑ (d) Whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations:
❑ (e) Whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions:

Melissa,
I talked with Ricky yesterday and then met with Ricky and Arlin this morning.
Arlin gave me the expenses and lime ticket for the work that they did which I have attached.
I also talked with them about covering the end of the pipe and re -cementing the catch basin.
They said that they would work on that next week and get it completed.
Please let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks,

MEMORANDUM:
To: Keith Larick v
From: Sherri Knight
Melissa Rosebrock
Subject: Recommendation for Civil Penalty
Case # DV-2013-0001
Ridge Farm, AWC760025
Randolph County
Please find attached, documents supporting the Winston-Salem Regional Office request
for a civil penalty assessment against Phillip 0. Ridge for: 1) making an outlet to the waters of
the State without a permit; 2) failing to operate the dairy as a non -discharge facility; 3) failing to
designate a certified animal waste management system operator; 4) failing to inspect the waste
collection and storage structure as specified in the permit; and for 5) failing to mow the waste
storage pond area as specified in the permit. Please note that Phillip Ridge is the owner of Ridge
Farm, to which the Cattle Waste Management System General Permit is issued. Arlin Buttke
leases the property from Mr. Ridge.
WSRO-APS staff determined that an unpermitted discharge of waste was actively
occurring when we investigated the complaint on October 25, 2012. Our investigation concludes
that cattle waste had leaked through a deteriorated concrete cap in the catch basin, then
discharged through an exposed, broken, PVC pipe located in the dam. The violator made
immediate efforts to abate the discharge, mitigate the impacts of the waste, and to repair the
broken pipe. Additionally, the waste pond embankment was mowed and a certified operator was
designated within two weeks of our investigation. The violator was cooperative and made several
verbal and written updates as to his progress.
However, there are several factors which justify a civil penalty: 1) the violator was previously
directed to mow the embankment during a February 2012 inspection; 2) the violator was
reminded to designate a certified operator in June 2012; 3) the violator was aware that the
receiving stream is a water supply for the City of Asheboro; 4) the discharge reached a newly
constructed, unfinished, EEP project (located on the violator's property); and 5) if there had been
a certified operator for this property, the recordkeeping and mowing would most likely have been
completed and any potential discharges would have been visible.
We therefore request that you initiate appropriate action from your office and forward the
attached package , to the Aquifer Protection Section Chief. 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) Correspondence between the violator, DWQ, NCEEP (Environmental Enhancement
Program), and a copy of the "NOV/NOT letter."
D) Photographs depicting the conditions causing the discharge violation.
E) Maps denoting the location of the Ridge property and unpermitted discharge.
Please contact Melissa Rosebrock in our office for any additional information you may need.

FINDING AND DECISION
AND ASSESSMENT OF
CIVIL PENALTIES
Acting pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), I, S. Jay Zimmerman, Chief of the Aquifer
Protection Section of the DWQ, make the following:
1. FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. Phillip Ridge owns Ridge Farm, a permitted cattle operation in Randolph County.
- - -----~---~-B.--~-----Phillip-Ridge-was-issued-Certifcate-of Coverage-AWC760025 by the -Division of Water Quality;
under General Permit AWG200000 for Ridge Farm on March 18, 2010, effective upon issuance,
with an expiration date of September 30, 2014. .
C. Arlin Buttke leases, manages, and operates Ridge Farm on the property governed by Mr. Ridge's
Cattle Waste Management System General Permit.
D. North Carolina General Statute (hereafter known as G.S.) 143-215.1(a)(1) states that "No person
shall do any of the following things or carry out any of the following activities unless that person
has received a permit from the Commission and has complied with all conditions set forth in the
permit: Make any outlets into the waters of the State. "

E. Condition I.I. of the General Permit AWG200000 states in part that "Waste shall not reach
surface waters" and that "The waste collection, treatment, storage, and application system
operated under this General permit shall be effectively maintained as a non -discharge system."
F. Condition 11.16. of the General Permit AWG200000 states that "The permittee shall designate a
certified animal waste management system operator with a valid certification to be in charge of
the animal waste management system" and that "The waste management system shall be
operated by the Operator in Charge (OIC) or a person under the OIC's supervision." Ridge Farm
did not have a certified operator from June 2012 to November 6, 2012.
G. Condition III.1. of the General Permit AWG200000 states that "An inspection of the waste
collection, treatment, and storage structures, and runoff control measures shall be conducted and
documented at a frequency to insure proper operation but at least monthly and after all storm
events of greater than each one (1) inch in 24 hours."
H. Condition II.12. of the General Permit AWG200000 states in part that "Lagoon/storage pond
areas shall be accessible, and vegetation shall be kept mowed." On the date of the discharge
investigation, the discharge was not visible from the cattle lot due to excessive vegetation on the
embankment. Vegetation was at least 3-4 feet high. A February 21, 2012 compliance inspection
report stated that Ridge Farm "must spray/mow/weed eat" the waste pond embankment.
1. On October 25, 2012, the DWQ Winston-Salem APS Regional office staff received a complaint
alleging a discharge of animal waste and promptly visited Ridge Farm. Regional office staff
observed that animal waste was discharging through a PVC pipe in the embankment of the waste
storage pond and that animal waste was flowing downhill at least 300 yards, and into Waters of
the State.
The unpermitted discharge occurred into an unnamed tributary to Back Creek, Class WS-II
HQW waters, within the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin.
K. On November 16, 2012, the Division issued a Notice of Violation/Notice of Intent to Enforce
(NOV/NOI) to Phillip Ridge, identifying violations of N.C.G.S. 143-215.1(a) and General
Permit No. AWG200000. The violations include: discharging to waters of the state; failure to
operate as a non -discharge facility; failure to designate a certified animal waste management
system operator; failure to inspect the waste collection, and storage structure; and failure to keep
the waste storage pond embankment mowed.
L. The Notice of Violation was sent Certified Mail and received by Phillip Ridge on November 21,
2012. DWQ received Mr. Ridge's incident report on October 27, 2012 and subsequent updates
- -------by -e mai I -on -October 29; November---1; and-December--1 2012 TThe--DWQ-Winston-Salem-------- -
Regional Office received Mr. Ridge's written responses on November 30 (email) and December
4, 2012 (USPS).
M. The cost to the State for the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $1,013.72
Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following:

II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
A. Phillip Ridge is a "person" within the meaning of N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A pursuant to N.C.G.S.
143-212(4).
B. A permit for an animal waste management system is required by N.C.G.S. 143-215.1.
C. Back Creek constitutes waters of the State within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.1 pursuant to
G.S. 143-212(6).
D. Phillip Ridge violated G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1) by making an unpermitted discharge into waters of
the State.
E. Phillip Ridge 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 than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00)
per violation per day may be assessed against a person who is required but fails to apply for or to
secure a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1, or who violates or fails to act in accordance with the

Violator: Phillip O. Ridge
County: Randolph
Case Number: DV-2013-0001
Permit Number: AWC760025
2)
3)
ASSESSMENT FACTORS
^The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health,
to private property resulting from the violations; - W ry _ _
Had drought conditions not caused Back Creek and its unnamed tributaries (UT) to cease flowing
by October, the harm to the natural resources, public health, and private property would have
been much greater. Our investigation confirms that a drinking water source has been
contaminated with animal waste and that new, ongoing, construction at an EEP (Environmental
Enhancement Project) site has also been impacted. .
The section of stream in question is a class WS-1T HQW water. Water supply (WS) streams are
used as sources of water supply for drinking, culinary, or food processing purposes. Additionally,
WS streams are to be protected for uses such as secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish
consumption, aquatic life including propagation, survival and maintenance of biological
integrity, and agriculture.
The duration and gravity of the violations;
The unpermitted discharge of animal waste into a water supply for the City of Asheboro could
have been occurring since late February 2012. DWQ staff performed a compliance inspection,
including a walk around the waste storage pond (WSP) embankment in mid -February 2012 and
no discharges were observed at that time.
For the waste to have flowed, visually undiluted, over 900 feet, the Region estimates the
discharge to have been occurring for several weeks. Additionally, the complainant's employees
first noticed the discharge between October 1-5 and again on October 9 and 15, 2012. The
complainant notified Mr. Ridge of the potential discharge on October 9, 2012 and "recommended
that he check in with his Farm Manager Mr. Buttke to ensure that all prescribed practices and
procedures were being followed." Mr. Ridge stated to DWQ staff that he did indeed "look
around" and "did not see any problems."
The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
Since the unnamed tributary was dry and Back Creek (main stream) was not flowing, the Region
does not believe there to be a significant impact to surface waters. The water treatment plant
noted no "spikes" in the fecal coliform bacteria in their intake water during the 30 days preceding
our investigation.
The effect on ground or air quality is unknown. The odor was only noticeable near the waste
pools in the stream restoration area.
rev 1.0 - 8.31.09

4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
On behalf of Phillip Ridge, Mr. Buttke The owner spent $1,665on repairing the broken PVC pipe
and applying lime to the entire length of the discharge in order to kill the bacteria. Dilution from
precipitation and plant uptake of the nutrients should further assist in mitigating the discharge's
impact.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The.cost of employing a certified operator is certainly a consideration. Mr. Ridge's
delayed repairs to the concrete cap in the catch basin and the broken PVC pipe have also
- saved him money. -
6).______.Whether-the.violations were committed.willfully-or intentionally; --
-The Winston-Salem regional Office -does.not-cons ider-.these-violations to -have -been. comm itted.--------- -
willfully or intentionally but rather the result of negligence and poor animal waste management
practices. The Region contends that if a competent OIC had been in place, the discharge would
have been discovered earlier during the 1 inch rain and/or monthly inspections. We also strongly
believe that if the WSP embankment had been mowed, as directed by the February 2012
Compliance Inspection Report, that the discharge would have been observed sooner.
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
April 2007 — Notice of Violation/Notice of Intent to Enforce for failure to submit an Annual
Certification report as required by the NPDES Permit. Arlin Buttke was leasing the facility from
Mr. Ridge at the time.
November 2004 — Civil Penalty Assessment of 4996.66 issued to Phil Ridge for making an
outlet to waters of the State without a permit. Arlin Buttke was again leasing the property from
Mr. Ridge.
November 2000 — Notice of Deficiency for a leaking animal waste pipe, failure to install a
marker, and inadequate records. Arlin Buttke was leasing the facility from Mr. Ridge at the time.

Melissa,
Hope you are doing well, this is to follow up on the voice mail I left earlier today. The lagoon on the tributary that drains the
Heath Dairy barn area has overtopped during rain events twice in the past few weeks. It's my understanding that the waste from
the lagoon is reaching the other project site waterways through overland flow as well as direct input from the tributary that
joins West Branch. I'm not sure if you and Patrick are the appropriate contacts but since you've been on site and inspected the
dairy facility I thought I'd begin with your office. You can reach me at 919-368-9352 or via e-mail all day tomorrow and Friday.
Thanks,
Melonie

Dear Mr. Ridge:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
On October 25, 2012 staff in the Division of Water Quality/Winston-Salem Regional Office
(DWQ/WSRO) received a complaint alleging that "the lagoon had overtopped" and that "animal
waste from the lagoon was reaching waterways." Ms. Melissa Rosebrock notified you of the
complaint and then arranged to meet on site with farm manager, At. Arlin Buttke, that same day.
Observations
1) On October 25, 2012 DWQ-WSRO staff observed that animal waste was flowing from an.
exposed, broken, and uncapped PVC pipe that was originally used to drain freshwater
from a catch basin located at the lower end of the concrete cattle lot. The cause of the
leakage was the deterioration of a concrete cap which had been placed over the other end
of the abandoned drain pipe.
Waste had flowed downhill approximately 250-300 yards and into an unnamed tributary
(UT) to Back Creek (WS-Il, HQW). The amount of waste on the ground was estimated to
be approximately 1,300 gallons. At the time of our investigation there was very little to
no surface water in the UT or Back Creek. Puddles of waste were observed in the
tributary, however.

2) Ridge Farm has not had a certified Operator in Charge (01C) since June 2012. You may
recall that Ms. Rosebrock discussed by telephone with you at the time the need to obtain
an OIC as soon as possible.
3) Vegetation on the waste storage pond embankment was at least 3-4 feet high. The most
recent compliance inspection report dated February.21, 2012, stated that you "must
spray/mow/weed eat" the waste pond embankment. On the date of the complaint
investigation, Ms. Rosebrock. noted that the discharge was not visible from the cattle lot
due to excessive vegetation on the embankment.
Violations
1) The unpermitted discharge cited above violates NC General Statutes (NCGS) and the
Cattle Waste Management System General Permit:
NCGS 143-215.1 (a) - which reads "Activities for Which Permits Required. —No person shall
do any of the following things or carry out, any of the following activities unless that person has
received a permit from the Commission and has complied with all conditions set forth in the
permit: (1) Make any outlets into the waters of the State."
Section 1. 1. of the Cattle Waste Management System General Permit states that "Waste
shall not reach surface waters or wetlands by runoff, drift, manmade conveyance, direct
application, direct discharge or through ditches, terraces, or grassed waterways not
classified as state waters. Our records indicate that a civil penalty was assessed against
Ridge Farm for a previous discharge in 2004 (DV 04-016).
2) Section HAT of the Permit states that the Permittee shall designate a certified operator to
be in charge of the animal waste management system and that the waste management
system shall be operated by the OIC or a person under the OTC's supervision. At the
time of the unpermitted discharge, there was no OIC designated for Midge Farm.
3) Since there has been no OIC at Ridge Farm since June 2012, a monthly and/or 1 inch
rain event inspection of the waste storage structure and drainageways has not
occurred. This is a violation of permit condition M.1. Our review concludes that if the
required inspections had been conducted, that the discharge would have been discovered
much earlier.
4) Section II.12. of the Permit states in part that "Lagoon/storage pond areas shall be
accessible, and vegetation shall be kept mowed." At the time of our investigation, the
waste storage pond embankment had not been mowed for several months. Our
investigation also concludes that the unpermitted discharge might have been discovered
earlier had the vegetation not been waist -high.
Corrective Actions:
1) Our office received a Spill Report on October 27, 2012. The report indicates that the
broken PVC pipe was repaired immediately and that a cap was glued onto the discharge

.P
Ridge

end of the pipe. In the event that the pipe is again damaged, it is strongly suggested that
the other end (inside the catch basin) be permanently sealed as well. Additionally, the
discharge end of the pipe should be back -filled with soil to prevent future damage by
equipment:
An inspection of the waste collection, treatment, and storage structures .and runoff control
measures are to be conducted and documented at least monthly and after all storm events
greater than one (1) inch in 24 hours.
2) Our records indicate that you designated Richard L. Frazier, Sr, as the OIC for Ridge
Farm on November 6, 2012. You may wish to consider designating an on -site back-up _
OIC as well. Due to the nature and operational management of the farm by a lessee, our
office believes that the, accessibility of two certified operators may improve future animal
waste management at Ridge Farm.
3) If not already completed, the waste storage pond embankment must be mowed. A
reminder that the permit requires "that a protective vegetative cover be established and
maintained on all earthen waste pond embankments (outside toe of embankment to
maximum liquid level), berms, pipe runs, and diversions to surface waters or wetlands."
This office is considering recommending an assessment of civil penalties against Ridge Farm 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 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.

Attn: Melissa Rosebrock
Waste Water Spill Report:
I am Phil Ridge owner of Ridge Farm in Randolph.County N.C. which is leased to Arlin Butke. On
October 25, 2012 1 received a call from Melissa Rosebrock of NCDENR Division of Water Quality
that upon a site visit to the farm she had discovered a leakage from a catch basin which collects
run off from the concrete feed lot. Apparently the cause of the leakage was the deterioration of
a concrete cap which had been placed over an old drain pipe many years ago. It was discovered
-that the waste water had drained approximately 250 yards to a dry creek bed and the amount
was estimated to be 1,309 gallons. Melissa Rosebrock informed me that she had met with Arlin
Butke and Ricky Frazier on site and requested that they dig up the pipe and cap it to prevent
further leakage. She also informed me that she had requested that powdered lime should be
applied to the affected area.
I visited the farm Saturday morning October 27, 2012 to inspect the cause of the problem and
to also see whether the request from Melissa Rosebrock had been addressed. I saw that a glued
on cap had been placed on the pipe that comes from the catch basin and I did not see any
seepage from the pipe. I continued past the catch basin and saw that lime was applied to the
affected area, please review the pictures that are attached. Straw bales had been placed in
several areas to help prevent further drainage. I followed the drained area all the way to the
dry creek bed and saw that lime had been applied to all of the affected area. Upon reaching the
dry creek bed I saw that lime had been applied to that affected area as well, this area was
approximately 50 yards in length.
I continued on downstream to see the extent of the spill and discovered that there was not any
evidence that the spill had actually ever reached an actual flowing creek. The area of the dry
creek that was affected had been treated with lime and the creek downstream appeared clear
from any waste water residue. I have attached pictures of the creek beyond the spilled area
which show this area to be clear.
Please review the pictures that are attached and inform me if you know of something else that
needs to be addressed. While at the farm Saturday morning I met with Arlin Butke and he said
that he took responsibility for the accidental leakage and would address any issues or request
that you had. When I visited the site I did not see any evidence or any possible way that waste
water could have actually reached a public water supply. l also discussed with Mr. Butke about

the lagoon sample which is to be taken to Research and Analytical Labs in Kernersville, NC. He
said that Wayne Butke is to take the sample on Monday October 29, 2012 and deliver it to the
lab in Kernersville. I talked with Arlin about the mowing of the lagoon banks and he said that
he would take care of seeing that this was accomplished. We discussed who would be Operator
in Charge and Mr. Butke is in discussions with Ricky Frazier to assume this responsibility. Mr.
Frazier is assisting Arlin Bukte with some aspects of his operation and has also worked with him
to correct the recent catch basin leakage along with steps taken to ensure the problem does
not recur. Ricky Frazier is an Operator in Charge of his own farming operation which does give
us a qualified person to assist in the current situation.
Thank you for your help in this matter and please contact me anytime.
Sincerely,
Phil Ridge

Thanks for your help and guidance. I will probably go ahead with a second letter just to update progress.
I am working with Arlin and Ricky to get the OIC in place and hope to have that settled by Monday.
I was also hoping that Arlin would get the banks mowed by the time that I need to write that letter.
I did receive a letter about the OIC with a form, they said that it needed to be returned by the 7t" and I have made Arlin and
Ricky aware of that.
I will keep you informed as soon as I know more.

Melissa,
I just wanted to follow up with you on Ridge Farms response to the Notice of Violation.
I received the letter from the Regional Supervisor— Sherri Knight on Wednesday November 21, 2012 and have forwarded it to
both Ricky Frazier and Arlin Butke.
I have also prepared my response to Ms. Knight and will put that in the mail Monday, December 3, 2012.
Please find attached a copy of the letter along with pictures of the lagoon embankment mowed.
I will send it to the Winston office, I hope that is correct.
I think that we have responded and meet all the request that you asked for, however if you should know of anything we left out
please let me know,
I would like for you to work with Ricky Frazier on the request by Ms. Knight to seal the other end of the catch basin pipe. Maybe
that could be handled at a future visitation to the farm.
As for the need of a second OIC, due to the connection that Ricky Frazier and Arlin Butke have along with Ricky's hopes and
plans to someday lease the farm I think that we should be ok at this time.
Please let me know if you see anything differently.

Ridge Farm, Permit# AWC760025
Dear Ms. Knight
I received your letter on November 21, 2012 relating to the Notice'of Violation for Ridge Farm's
pertaining to cow lot runoff from a deteriorated cap on a catch basin. The farm is leased to
Arlin Butke and I am not involved in any day to day activities of the farm. This was an
unfortunate accident which was unintentional and Arlin Butke responded quickly to remedy
the cause and also neutralize the effect from the spill. Mr. Butke and Ricky Frazier met with
Melissa Rosebrock on October 25, 2012 when the leakage was detected at which time Ms.
Rosebrock informed them of the necessary steps needed to neutralize the spill. That day and
the following day they took steps to secure the pipe from further leakage, treat the runoff to
minimize the effect and take samples to be tested.
On Saturday morning October 27, 20121 visited the farm to inspect the cause and the steps
taken which Ms. Rosebrock had informed me of. I found that Mr. Butke and Mr. Frazier had
acted quickly to address the requested steps by Ms. Rosebrock. As I stated in my report dated
October 27, 2012 1 followed the path of the runoff to the stream to inspect what damage had
occurred and that lime had been applied on all runoff which it had. I then continued on
downstream to see the extent of the spill and discovered that there was not any evidence that
the spill had actually ever reached an actual flowing creek. The tributary in which the spill did
reach was dry and the tributary that it drains into was also dry. In my earlier report I provided
pictures which show the actions taken and of the creek beyond the spill which was both dry and
dear of any waste.
I would appreciate consideration that this was an unintentional accidental spill which never
reached a flowing stream. Please also give consideration to the fact that Mr. Butke and Mr.
Frazier cooperated responsively and completely to all request made of them by Ms. Rosebrock.
Since that time Mr. Butke has acted to have the embankments of the lagoon mowed which I
have provided attached pictures.
On the violation relating to the absence of a Operator In Charge which was previously occupied
by Chris Holder. The farm was leased to Kings Mill through May of 2012 and Chris Holder had
an agreement with them and not with me. Melissa Rosebrock did contact me sometime in early
June that she had been informed that Chris Holder was planning to resign as OIC for the Ridge

Farm which upon receiving this information I did discuss it with Mr, Butke however I do not
think that Mr, Butke or myself were ever made aware of the actual date of Mr. Holder's
resignation. I do know that Mr. Butke was well aware of the need to get an OIC in place and was
in negotiations with Ricky Frazier over the past couple of months to accept the position. I
believe that this did not represent a lack of importance being placed on the need for an OIC but
rather was the fact that the negotiation process took longer than anyone anticipated. As of
November 6, 2012 Ricky Frazier did accept the designation as OIC which you stated in your
letter.
Ms. Knight I would very much appreciate careful consideration to the facts that myself, Arlin
Butke and Ricky Frazier were very responsive and cooperative to the request made by Melissa
Rosebrock relating to the unintentional and accidental runoff from the catch basin. I know that
you probably understand that the Dairy business is a difficult and challenging profession. Dairy
Farmers often give their very best and still come up short due to circumstances out of their
control such as milk prices, feed prices, weather and etc. We all understand the need to have
regulations in place to protect and monitor our water supplies and in no way do we take this
responsibility lightly. Please keep these thoughts in mind as your office considers the
assessment of Civil Penalties.
(.appreciate your time in reading this letter and please contact me at anytime if you have

Subject: Response to Notice of Violation
Ridge Farm, Permit# AWC760025
Dear Ms. Knight
I received your letter on November 21, 2012 relating to the Notice of Violation for Ridge Farm's
pertaining to cow lot runoff from a deteriorated cap on a catch basin. The farm is leased to
Arlin Butke and I am not involved in any day to day activities of the farm. This was an
unfortunate accident which was unintentional and Arlin Butke responded quickly to remedy
the cause and also neutralize the effect from the spill. Mr. Butke and Ricky Frazier met with
Melissa Rosebrock on October 25, 2012 when the leakage was detected at which time Ms.
Rosebrock informed them of the necessary steps needed to neutralize the spill. That day and
the following day they took steps to secure the pipe from further leakage, treat the runoff to
minimize the effect and take samples to be tested.
On Saturday morning October 27, 2012 1 visited the farm to inspect the cause and the steps
taken which Ms. Rosebrock had informed me of. I found that Mr. Butke and Mr. Frazier had
acted quickly to address the requested steps by Ms. Rosebrock. As I stated in my report dated
October 27, 2012 1 followed the path of the runoff to the stream to inspect what damage had
occurred and that -lime had been applied on all runoff which it had. I then continued on
downstream to see the extent of the spill and discovered that there was not any evidence that
the spill had actually ever reached an actual flowing creek. The tributary in which the spill.did
reach was dry and the tributary that it drains into was also dry. In my earlier report I provided
pictures which show the actions taken and of the creek beyond the spill which was both dry and
clear of any waste.
I would appreciate consideration that this was an unintentional accidental spill which never
reached a -flowing stream. Please also give consideration to the fact that Mr. Butke and Mr.
Frazier cooperated responsively and completely to all request made. of them by Ms. Rosebrock.
Since that time Mr. Butke has acted to have the embankments of the lagoon mowed which I
have provided attached pictures.

Subject: Designation of Operator in Charge

Permit#: AWC760025
County: Randolph
Dear Mr. Ridge:
Our records show that Christopher Holder, the designated Operator In Charge (OIC) for your facility,
resigned effective June 15, 2012. NCAC 15A 8F .0201(a)(2) requires the owner of an animal waste
management system to designate a new OIC within 30 days of a vacancy in that position. By failing to
designate a new OIC within 30 days, you are in violation of NCGS 90A-47.2 and NCAC 15A 8F .0201(a)(2)
and are subject to the assessment of civil penalties.
Please return the enclosed designation form to this office by November 7, 2012. Be advised that nothing
in this letter should be taken as resolving you of the responsibility and liability for any past or future
violations for your failure to designate an appropriate OIC for your animal waste management system.
If you have questions concerning this matter, or if this office can be of further assistance, please call me
at [phone] or email me at beth.butfFnoton@ncden�ov.

Melissa,
I talked with Ricky yesterday and then met with Ricky and Arlin this morning.
Arlin gave me the expenses and lime ticket for the work that they did which I have attached.
I also talked with them about covering the end of the pipe and re -cementing the catch basin.
They said that they would work on that next week and get it completed.
Please let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks,
Phil

Subject: Response to Notice of Violation
Ridge Farm, Permit# AWC760025
Dear Ms. Knight .
November 30, 2012
I received your letter on November 21, 2012 relating to the Notice of Violation for Ridge Farm's
pertaining to cow lot runoff from a deteriorated cap on a catch basin. The farm is leased to
Arlin Butke and I am not involved in any day to day activities of the farm. This was an
unfortunate accident which was unintentional and Arlin Butke responded quickly to remedy
the cause and also neutralize the effect from the spill. Mr. Butke and Ricky Frazier met with
Melissa Rosebrock on October 25, 2012 when the leakage was detected at which time Ms.
Rosebrock informed them of the necessary steps needed to neutralize the spill. That day and
the following day they took steps to secure the pipe from further leakage, treat the runoff to
minimize the effect and take samples to be tested.
On Saturday morning October 27, 2012 1 visited the farm to inspect the cause and the steps
taken which Ms. Rosebrock had informed me of. I found that Mr. Butke and Mr. Frazier had
acted quickly to address the requested steps by Ms. Rosebrock. As I stated in my report dated
October 27, 2012 1 followed the path of the runoff to the stream to inspect what damage had
occurred and that -lime had been applied on all runoff which it had. I then continued on
downstream to see the extent of the spill and discovered that there was not any evidence that
the spill had actually ever reached an actual flowing creek. The tributary in which the spill did
reach was dry and the tributary that it drains into was also dry. In my earlier report I provided
pictures which show the actions taken and of the creek beyond the spill which was both dry and
clear of any waste.
would appreciate consideration that this was an unintentional accidental spill which never
reached a flowing stream. Please also give consideration to the fact that Mr. Butke and Mr.
Frazier cooperated responsively and completely to all request made of them by Ms. Rosebrock.
Since that time Mr. Butke has acted to have the embankments of the lagoon mowed which
have provided attached pictures.
On the violation relating to the absence of a Operator In Charge which was previously occupied
by Chris Holder. The farm was leased to icings Mill through May of 2012 and Chris Holder had
an agreement With them and not with me. Melissa Rosebrock did contact me sometime in early
June that she had been informed that Chris Holder was planning to resign as OIC for the Ridge

0 ---- �.. 0
Farm which upon receiving this information I did discuss it with Mr. Butke however I do not
think that Mr. Butke or myself were ever made aware of the actual date of Mr. Holder's
resignation. I do know that Mr. Butke was well aware of the need to get an OIC in place and was
in negotiations with Ricky Frazier over the past couple of months to accept the position. I
believe that this did not represent a lack of importance being placed on the need for an OIC but
rather was the fact that the negotiation process took longer than anyone anticipated. As of
November 6, 2012 Ricky Frazier dId accept the designation as OIC which you stated in your
letter.
Ms. Knight I would very much appreciate careful consideration to the facts that myself, Arlin
Butke and Ricky Frazier were very responsive and cooperative to the request made by Melissa
Rosebrock relating to the unintentional and accidental runoff from the catch basin. I know that
you probably understand that the Dairy business is a difficult and challenging profession. Dairy
Farmers often give their very best and still come up short due to circumstances out of their
control such as milk prices, feed prices, weather and etc. We all understand the need to have
regulations in place to protect and monitor our water supplies and in no way do we take this
responsibility lightly. Please keep these thoughts in, mind as your office considers the
assessment of Civil Penalties.
I appreciate your time in reading this letter and please contact me at anytime if you have
questions or suggestions.
Sincerely,
Phil Ridge

end of the pipe. In the event that the pipe is again damaged, it is strongly, suggested that
the other end (inside the catch basin) be permanently seated as well. Additionally, the
discharge end of the pipe should be back -filled with soil to prevent future damage by
equipment.
An inspection of the waste collection, treatment, and storage structures.and runoff control
measures are to be conducted and documented at least monthly and after all storm events
greater than one (1) inch in 24 hours.
2) Our records indicate that you designated Richard L. Frazier, Sr. as the OIC for Ridge
Fans on November 6, 2012. You may wish to consider designating an on -site back-up
OIC as well. Due to the nature and operational management of the farm by a lessee, our
office believes that the accessibility of two certified operators may improve future animal
waste management at Ridge Farm.
3) If not already completed, the waste storage pond embankment must be mowed. A
reminder that the permit requires "that a protective vegetative cover be established and
maintained on all earthen waste pond embankments (outside toe of embankment to
maximum liquid level), berms, pipe runs, and diversions to surface waters or wetlands."
This office is considering recommending an assessment of civil penalties against Ridge Farm 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 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)
771-5000.

Melissa,
Please find the letter and pictures attached which give my report to DWQ at this point.
The sample is being taken today and we are in the process of working out the Operator in Charge, I expect this to be Ricky
Frazier.
I have spoken to Arlin Butke about mowing the Lagoon banks and he is looking into that.

10/27/2012
To: NCDENR Division of Water Quality, Winston Salem Regional Office
Attn: Melissa Rosebrock
Waste Water Spill Report:
I am Phil Ridge owner of Ridge Farm in Randolph County N.C. which is leased to Arlin Butke . On
October 25, 2012 1 received a call from Melissa Rosebrock of NCDENR Division of Water Quality
that upon a site visit to the farm she had discovered a leakage from a catch basin which collects
run off from the concrete feed lot. Apparently the cause of the leakage was the deterioration of
a concrete cap which had been placed over an old drain pipe many years ago. It was discovered
that the waste water had drained approximately 250 yards to a dry creek bed and the amount
was estimated to be 1,309 gallons. Melissa Rosebrock informed me that she had met with Arlin
Butke and Ricky Frazier on site and requested that they dig up the pipe and cap it to prevent
further leakage. She also informed me that she had requested that powdered lime should be
applied to the affected area.
I visited the farm Saturday morning October 27, 2012 to inspect the cause of the problem and
to also see whether the request from Melissa Rosebrock had been addressed, I saw that a glued
on cap had been placed on the pipe that comes from the catch basin and I did not see any
seepage from the pipe. I continued past the catch basin and saw that lime was applied to the
affected area, please review the pictures that are attached. Straw bales had been placed in
several areas to help prevent further drainage. I followed the drained area all the way to the
dry creek bed and saw that lime had been applied to all of the affected area. Upon reaching the
dry creek bed I saw that lime had been applied to that affected area as well, this area was
approximately 50 yards in length.
I continued on downstream to see the extent of the spill and discovered that there was not any
evidence that the spill had actually ever reached an actual flowing creek. The area of the dry
creek that was affected had been treated with lime and the creek downstream appeared clear
from any waste water residue. I have attached pictures of the creek beyond the spilled area
which show this area to be clear.
Please review the pictures that are attached and inform me if you know of something else that
needs to be addressed. While at the farm Saturday morning I met with Arlin Butke and he said
that he took responsibility for the accidental leakage and would address any issues or request
that you had. When I visited the site I did not see any evidence or any possible way that waste
water could have actually reached a public water supply. I also discussed with Mr. Butke about

•
the lagoon sample which is to be taken to Research and Analytical Labs in Kernersville, NC. He
said that Wayne Butke is to take the sample on Monday October 29, 2412 and deliver it to the
lab in Kernersville. I talked with Arlin about the mowing of the lagoon banks and he said that
he would take care of seeing that this was accomplished. We discussed who would be Operator
in Charge and Mr. Butke is in discussions with Ricky Frazier to assume this responsibility. Mr.
Frazier is assisting Arlin Bukte with some aspects of his operation and has also worked with him
to correct the recent catch basin leakage along with steps taken to ensure the problem does

Dear Mr. Ridge:
Our records show that Christopher Holder, the designated Operator in Charge (OIC) for your facility,
resigned effective June 15, 2012. NCAC 15A 8F .0201(a)(2) requires the owner of an animal waste
management system to designate a new OIC within 30 days of a vacancy in that position. By failing to
designate a new OIC within 30 days, you are in violation of NCGS 90A-47.2 and NCAC 15A 8F .0201(a)(2)
and are subject to the assessment of civil penalties.
Please return the enclosed designation form to this office by November 7, 2012. Be advised that nothing
in this letter should be taken as resolving you of the responsibility and liability for any past or future
violations for your failure to designate an appropriate OIC for your animal waste management system.
If you have questions concerning this matter, or if this office can be of further assistance, please call me
at [phone] or email me at beth.bufFngtonna ncdenr.gov.

All:
Got your voice mail messages regarding the repair of the pipe, application of lime to discharged waste, and plans to
install straw bales. Let me say thanks ---for meeting us on site yesterday, hiking through the woods, and for repairing
the pipe and spreading lime so quickly. We DO appreciate your quick response and for being so cooperative.
Per your permit though, now I need you to complete the paperwork requirement part of the discharge. In case you
are not familiar,
I've attached a copy of your permit. READ the sections highlighted in yellow (pages 8-10). I've pulled out the sections
below as well. The permittee (Phil) MUST submit the following. How you all split up these requirements is up to you
but Phil is ultimately responsible:
1. * **'`A public notice must be placed in the Courier Tribune in Randolph County within 48 hours since there
was a discharge of AT LEAST 1,309 gallons of waste. I determined this amount based on 300 yards from the
discharge pipe to the creek, with a waste width of 14 inches and 2 inches deep. It's probably more than this
since it's been ongoing for awhile but 1,309 gallons is a minimum. A sample is attached for you to use. The
creek is "Unnamed Tributary to Back Creek" in the "Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin." Please send me a
copy of the public notice.
In the event of a discharge of 1,000 gallons or more of waste to surface waters or wetlands, the Permittee must issue a
press release to all print and electronic news media that provide general coverage in the county in which the discharge
occurred setting out the details of the discharge. The press release must be issued within forty-eight (48) hours after it is
determined that the discharge has reached the surface waters or wetlands. A copy of the press release and a list of the
news media to which it was distributed must be kept for at least one (1) year after the discharge and must be distributed to
any person upon request.
2. Report to DWQ within 5 days about what happened. See the permit for specific info that is to be included.
The Per:nittee shall also file a written report to the appropriate Division Regional Office within five (5) calendar days
following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report shall outline the actions taken or proposed to be taken to
correct the problem and to ensure that the problem does not recur. The requirement to file a written report may not be
waived by the Division Regional Office. Send this to me.

`3. A sample must be taken from t9waste pond and delivered to a commal lab (to meet the hold time). The
closest one to you is in Kernersville (Research and Analytical labs) and the phone number is 996-2841. Ask to
speak with Sid Champion and tell him what happened and what samples you will need so you can get the
correct bottles from them:
A waste sample, obtained within seventy-two (72) hours following first knowledge of the discharge to surface waters or
wetlands, from the source lagoon/storage pond, shall he analyzed for the following minimum parameters:
Fecal coliform bacteria Five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5)
Total suspended solids Total phosphorous
Ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) Total Kjeldalrl nitrogen (TKN)
Nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N)
Monitoring results must be submitted to the Division within thirty (30) days of the discharge event. Send
to me.
If you have any questions please calf me. If you can't reach me ask for Patrick Mitchell. His number is
336.771.5285.
Thanks for your continued efforts to meet the permit requirements.

Subject: FW: Heath Diary lagoon
Melissa,
Got your message and have passed it along to our construction manager, kudos for the quick follow up and resolution. Enjoy
your much deserved vacation!
I've pasted the details from our construction manager below and my notification in red if you need them for your report. You
can use my name and our consultants name (Tammie Tucker — AECOM) since I'd already notified Mr. Ridge I'm assuming
everyone is aware of who lodged the complaint.
'Andy first noticed the situation the week of October 1-5 (1 do not have the exact date, but there were significant rain events Oct
1-3). At that point he was guessing that the lagoon was overtopping or breaching. On October 9 1 had him go check out the
,ituation and he stated that "Effluent from lagoon present along hillside and draining to UTWB. No active flow on hillside. Pools
in WB still have murky sediment laden water." The 2 rldtirne this occurred after clearing up tram the 1 occurrence was October
15 and he stated went to investigate the cow manure lagoon. It was over flowing again." That gave me the impression he had
.ictually gone up to see it was the lagoon OTing, but I am not 100% sure. 1 left a message with him minutes ago to call me back
ind confirm that."
Melonie Allen: I notified Mr. Ridge on 10/09/12 of the lagoon overflow and recommended that he check in with his Farm
Manager Mr. Buttke to ensure that all prescribed practices and procedures were being followed.

Subject: Heath Diary lagoon
Melissa,
Hope you are doing well, this is to follow up on the voice mail I left earlier today. The lagoon on the tributary that drains the
Heath Dairy barn area has overtopped during rain events twice in the past few weeks. it's my understanding that the waste from
the lagoon is reaching the other project site waterways through overland flow as well as direct input from the tributary that
joins West Branch. I'm not sure if you and Patrick are the appropriate contacts but since you've been on site and inspected the
dairy facility I thought I'd begin with your office. You can reach me at 919-368-9352 or via e-mail all day tomorrow and Friday.
Thanks,
Melonie
