The address for Mr. Radford is questionable, apparently he keeps changing addresses to fend off bill collectors (according to locals). The address In the Enforcement Package is the one Mr. Radford had as a return address on his NOV response letter but the address on the NOVs that were previously sent eventually got to him.

No permit has been applied for and no permit application is pending. List any other water quality permits held by the alleged violator, i.e. a nondischarge permit for the source of the discharge. This is a dairy farm operation with approximately 150 head of cattle which are considered milk producers. The farm is deemed permitted per .0200 animal regulations. Description of the waste involved in the discharge and how you know it is waste, i.e. samples taken. The Radford Dairy's animal waste holding pond was overtopping and a direct path could be followed to the creek. Description of how the waste was conveyed to the Waters of the State. (Include photographs of the point of emergence. The waste had been flowing out of the waste storage pond and had settled in an area approximately 113 acres before entering the creek. Recently a berm was constructed which directs the wastewater directly to the creek. A videotape was taken of the site in lieu of pictures. 7. Name of state waters and class.

If unknown, state why. If not applicable, state why. a. Cause of the violation. (,State_ whether it could have been prevented and how. State whether the cause was out of the violator's control, i.e. Act of Nature,, etc.) The waste holding pond overflowed because it was not pumped down. Several site visits have been conducted by .DEM personnel and inadequate freeboard has been noted during most visits. The discharge could have been easily prevented with proper waste handling techniques. The event was NOT out of the violator's control. b. The degree and extent of harm caused_ by the violation. State how you ived at your conclusion . The degree and extent of harm is unknown. C. Duration of the violation. A complaint on the Radford Dairy was documented on December 16, 1988. Since then there have been registered complaints or site visits concerning animal waste runoff from the Radford Dairy on April 7, 1989; May 9, 1991; July 10, 1995; November 13, 1995; February 28, 1996; and June 11, 1996. Although no reportable violations were actually occurring on two of these dates there is little discrepency that a violation had occurred which.prompted the complaints. d. Effect of violation on water, public health and fish or wildlife. (Include number of wildlife killed or iniured, citizen complaints, how the violation affected the water.) There have been numerous complaints from private citizens, however the overall effect is not known. e. Effectiveness of any preventive or responsive measures taken b. t�iolator. (Describe measures, when taken As of June 11, 1996 the only preventive measures shown to DEM personnel were approximately ten post holes dug near Silverleaf Creek. These holes are for fencing the cows out of a portion of the creek. In the response letter dated March 12, 1996 was the following statement: "The fencing project should be started by April 1, 1996. f. Cost of rectifying the damage or information that would be needed_ to determine the cost, such as process rates, cleanup costs. Unknown. g.

(No way to prevent the discharge, discharge caused by another party, immediate removal etc. Mr. Radford has stated that the excess rains during the 1996 Spring made it impossible for him to land apply or sell his animal waste. However, these rains did not hamper other farmers in the area from properly disposing of their animal waste and this does not explain the previous complaints and violations.

Regional Office James G. Martin, Governor William W. Cobey, Jr., Secretary DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT May 15, 1989 CERTIFIED MAIL NO. P--536-300-869 RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Mr. Roger Dale Radford Rt. #5, Claudeville, VA 24076 SUBJECT: Un-permitted Wastewater Discharge Radford Dairy Operation Surry County Dear Mr. Radford: As you are aware, your dairy operation was inspected by Abner Braddy and Mike Mickey of the Division of Environmental Management's Water Quality staff on April 7, 1989. Mr. Dick Everhart, District Conservationist with the Soil Conservation Service, also participated in the site visit. The visit was prompted by complaints this office has received regarding the possible water quality impacts of dairy operations in the area. The inspection revealed that you handle your animal waste by means of a wastewater lagoon. The waste is then land applied for it's nutrient value. This is an excellent method of waste management, provided the lagoon is not allowed to over -flow. The inspection also revealed, however, that there are areas where wastewater is reaching the stream. These areas include the barn to the west of your milking house, and the area immediately below the dike of your lagoon. Wash water 8025 North Point Boulevard, Suite 100, Winston-Salem, N.C. 27106-3295 • `%lephone 919-761.2351 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Mr. Roger Dale Radford Page 42 May 15, 1989 overland run-off, and spillage are carrying oxygen demanding pollutants to Silverleaf Creek on an intermittent basis. This unpermitted discharge. of wastewater into the surface waters of the State is a violation of North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 143-215.1. This type of discharge is also a violation of regulations established by the Federal Clean Water Act. The relevant Federal regulations as they pertain to "Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations" are attached for your review. During the April 7th visit, you expressed a willingness to take the necessary steps to cease the violation. It is my understanding that Mr. Everhart has arranged a technical - assistance visit to your operation. I urge you to follow the recommendations of the S.C.S. representative in this matter. Failure to do so will result in a request to designate your dairy as a "Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation." Additionally, if it becomes necessary to formally designate your operation, you will be regulated in the same manner as a non-agricultural business with a wastewater discharge to surface waters of the State. This could lead to the imposition of civil penalties if enforcement action becomes necessary. You also expressed concern that a portion of the water quality problem originates -upstream of you, possibly by dairy operations in Virginia. Observation of the area upstream of your property indicates that this may be true. We will be performing water quality sampling upstream and downstream of your property this summer, and will contact the appropriate Virginia authorities if a problem is confirmed. Because of the violation, you are requested to respond in writing to our Winston-Salem Regional Office by June 15, 1989, stating what steps have been and/or will be taken to eliminate the discharge and to prevent a similar violation in the future. Your cooperation in this matter is most appreciated. Should you have any questions, please contact our Office at (919) 761-2351. Sincerely, M.

Steven Mauney SUBJECT: Unpermitted Waste Waste Discharge Radford Dairy Operation -- Surry County Dear Mr. Mauney: I have been visited by the District Soil Conservationist and Conservation Engineer. They have given me their reommendations and solutions to the problem. Their solutions are to repair the concrete curbing to eliminate solid waste run-off and to clean the existing seepage ditch and extent this ditch to take care of run-off water. Providing this does not solve the problem of solid waste run-off, they are planning a re -visit to help design a solid's separator. I am planning to complete the repairs to the curbing and the cleaning of the ditch as soon as weather permits. If you need further information or have any questions on progress, please contact me by letter or at either of the phone numbers listed below.

Hunt, Jr., Governor Jonathan B. Howes, Secretary i_eesha Fuller, Regional Manager February 29, 1996 Mr. Roger Dale Radford PO Box 98 Claudeville, V a. 24076 SUBJECT: Animal Waste Management Radford Dairy Farm Surry County Dear Mr. Radford: 1�• IL IDP-HNF:;Z DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT On February 28, 1996 1 met with you and your son Brad to briefly discuss the animal waste handling capabilities of your dairy. Since the Division of Environmental Management (DEM) is a regulatory agency, we can offer some advice that might help you meet water quality standards concerning lagoon run-off but for technical assistance you should contact the Surry County Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS). The Surry County NRCS can best explain what steps should be taken to correct the problems associated with animal waste run-off and can devise a plan to help contain the animal waste on -site. The Water Quality Section of DEM is very concerned with the animal wastes entering Silverleaf Creek which is located a few feet from the edge of the lagoon. As you are aware, animal wastes entering waters of the State is a major concern and heavy fines are being implemented on facilities that are not in compliance with the State's rules and regulations. It is extremely important that your dairy operation take the necessary steps to prevent animal waste from entering waters of the State. During the site visit, several problems were noted and discussed. Pulling the solids out of the lagoon and stockpiling them around the edge of the lagoon is not a good management practice. I realize that you needed to get the sludge out of the lagoon for more storage area but placing the solids around the lagoon could cause more problems by allowing rain water to wash the solids into the creek if there is a rain event. It is understood that you hope to sell the solids for compost material when the weather clears. When you discuss your prevention plans with the Surry County NRCS they can explain their extent of cooperation in developing and implementing the necessary procedures to contain the animal waste. However, depending on their recommendations, you may want . to take some steps on your own such as the following: 585 Woughtown Street, Winston-Salem, North Carollna 27107-2241 Telephone 910-771-4600 FAX 910-771-4b31 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 60%►ecycled/ 10% post -consumer paper 1145 l� Mr. Radford February 29, 1996 page 2 1) Do as much as possible to keep the rain water out of the lagoon. This might include gutters on the buildings; curbs around some of the roads or loafing pads; creating vegetated ditches to carry rain water around the lagoon instead of into it. 2) Re -vegetate the area below the lagoon with a thick dominating grass such as fescue. A heavily vegetated buffer can slow down flowing water and allow the solids to settle out where the pollutants can be utilized by the grass. 3) Empty the contents from the lagoon and re -size it for a longer storage capacity. You will probably want some technical assistance if you decide to do this. 4) From a management standpoint - you will have to pump out the liquid in the lagoon and put it on cropland before spring planting, after fall harvest and anytime the weather and land availability are adequate. The solids will have to be removed from the lagoon on a regular basis and properly disposed of. This is something that will have to be done in order to maintain adequate freeboard. Again, 1, 2 and 3 are only suggestions. You should talk to the Surry County NRCS first and get their advice before undertaking any actions. After our meeting i realize that you understand the seriousness of this matter. I urge you to continue to cooperate with all interested parties and obtain a solution to the problems associated with the dairy. I remind you that the non -permitted discharge of wastewater to waters of the State is illegal as per North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and that violations could subject your dairy to enforcement action with the possible assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day per violation. Should you have any questions regarding water quality issues or the regulations concerning this matter, please contact me at (910) 771- 4600.

The Radford Dairy operation has had animal waste problems for years. The Surry County MRCS designed a new waste management plan for the dairy a few years ago but the Radfords did not come up with their part of the cost share. MRCS has little desire to work with this dairy again considering Its past history (I won't get Into all the details). The Radfords put little or no effort into waste management; 1 am also preparing an Enforcement Package for the direct discharge of animal waste into Waters of the State (Sliverleaf Creek - Class C Trout). You will note that one of the previous NOVs was sent to Sherman Anderson who owns the land where Radford Dairy is located. The NOVs sent to Mr. Radford received no response; however, when Mr. Anderson received an NOV, there was some concern with Mr. Radford and a response soon followed. If .you have any questlons please contact me at (910) 771-4600 Ext. 272. DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Roger Dale Radford Rt. 3 Box 762 Stuart, Virginia 24171 Subject: Notice of Violation Notice of Intent to Revoke Deemed Permit Radford Dairy Farm Number 86-7/8 Surry County Dear Mr. Radford: You are hereby notified that, having been deemed permitted to have a nondischarge permit for the subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217, you have been found to be in violation of your 2H .0217 Permit. Personnel from the Winston-Salem Regional Office have inspected your dairy on April 7, 1989; May 9, 1991; and July 10, 1995 concerning reports of animal wastes getting into Silverleaf Creek; Class C Trout; which runs through your dairy farm. Recent site visits on November 13, 1995; February 29, 1996; and June 11, 1996 indicate that the problems with animal waste runoff have not been corrected. Your response to the last Notice of Violation stated that many of the problems would be corrected by the end of May 1996. However, the inspection on June 11, 1996 revealed that few attempts had been made to correct any of the problems associated with animal waste entering the creek. Also, on the day of the inspection, a wastestream was observed overtopping the animal waste holding pond and discharging directly into.Silverleaf Creek. In accordance with the requirements of NCAC 2H .0213, you are hereby given notice that sixty (60) days following your receipt of this letter, the Division of Environmental Management intends to revoke your permit unless the following conditions are completed: 1. Immediately eliminate the discharge of wastewater or correct the violation. 2. Make any modifications needed to ensure there will be no future discharges. 3. Submit an approved animal waste management plan and have the attached certification form completed. One copy of the plan must be sent to your local Soil and Water Conservation District. The certification form and two (2) copies of your plan must be returned to the addreshelow: Division of Environmental Management Water Quality Section Operations Branch P.O. Box 29535 Raleigh, NC 27626-0535 Failure to comply with the above conditions will result in permit revocation and therefore, the existing animal waste management system serving your animal operation will be in operation without a permit as required by North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1. Your approved animal waste management plan must explain how you will collect, store, treat and land apply your animal waste in an environmentally acceptable manner. To assist you in the development of this plan and to provide the required certification that the plan is acceptable, you should contact your local agricultural agencies such as the Soil and Water Conservation District, the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service, the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service or a technical specialist designated pursuant to the rules adopted by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission. If we have not received the requested animal waste management plan and certification within 60 days of receipt of this letter or if there are additional discharges to the surface water a civil penalty of up to $10,000 may be assessed and you may be required to apply for an individual nondischarge permit from the Division. This permit, if issued, will contain monitoring and reporting requirements determined to be necessary by the Division. Although we will make every effort to work with you in correcting the problems found at your facility, please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as preventing the Division from taking appropiate enforcement actions for either these violations or other past or future violations. If you have any questions concerning this matter please do not hesitate to contact either Steve Mauney, Water Quality Regional Supervisor for our Winston-Salem Regional Office at (910) 771-4600 or Mr. Shannon Langley at (919) 733-5083, ext. 581.

Hunt, Jr„ Governor Jonathan B. Howes, Secretary Leesha Fuller, Regional Manager February 29, 1996 Mr. Roger Dale Radford PO Box 98 Claudeville, Va. 24076 SUBJECT: Animal Waste Management Radford Dairy Farm Surry County Dear Mr. Radford: f®r)�7 10 MOM E3EEHNFZ DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT On February 28, 1996 I met with you and your son Brad to briefly discuss the animal waste handling capabilities of your dairy. Since the Division of Environmental Management (DEM) is a regulatory agency, we can offer some advice that might help you meet water quality standards concerning lagoon run-off but for technical assistance you should contact the Surry County Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS). The Surry County NRCS can best explain what steps should be taken to correct the problems associated with animal waste run-off and can devise a plan to help contain the animal waste on -site. The Water Quality Section of DEM is very concerned with the animal wastes entering Silverleaf Creek which is located a few feet from the edge of the lagoon. As you are aware, animal wastes entering waters of the State is a major concern and heavy fines are being implemented on facilities that are not in compliance with the State's rules and regulations. It is extremely important that your dairy operation take the necessary steps to prevent animal waste from entering waters of the State. During the site visit, several problems were noted and discussed. Pulling the solids out of the lagoon and stockpiling them around the edge of the lagoon is not a good management practice. I realize that you needed to get the sludge out of the lagoon for more storage area but placing the solids around the lagoon could cause more problems by allowing rain water to wash the solids into the creek if there is a rain event. It is understood that you hope to sell the solids for compost material when the weather clears. When you discuss your prevention plans with the Surry County NRCS they can explain their extent of cooperation in developing and implementing the necessary procedures to contain the animal waste. However, depending on their recommendations, you may want to take some steps on your own such as the following: 585 Waughtown Street, Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27107-2241 - Telephone 910-771-4600 FAX 910-771-4631 An Equal Opportunity AfflrmcMve Action Employer 50% recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper � � 7/�r n/L_ Mr. Radford. February 29, 1996 page 2 1) Do as much as possible to keep the rain water out of the lagoon. This might include gutters on the buildings; curbs around some of the roads or loafing pads; creating vegetated ditches to carry rain water around the lagoon instead of into it. 2) Re -vegetate the area below the lagoon with a thick, dominating grass such as fescue. A heavily vegetated buffer can slow down flowing water and allow the solids to settle out where the pollutants can be utilized by the grass. 3) Empty the contents from the lagoon and re -size it for a longer storage capacity. You will probably want some technical assistance if you decide to do this. 4) From a management standpoint - you will have to pump out the liquid in the lagoon and put it on cropland before spring planting, after fall harvest and anytime the weather and land availability are adequate. The solids will have to be removed from the lagoon on a regular basis and properly disposed of This is something that will have to be done in order to maintain adequate freeboard. Again, 1, 2 and 3 are only suggestions. You should talk to the Surry County NRCS first and get their advice before undertaking any actions. After our meeting I realize that you understand the seriousness of this matter. I urge you to continue to cooperate with all interested parties and obtain a solution to the problems associated with the dairy. I remind you that the non -permitted discharge of wastewater to waters of the State is illegal as per North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and that violations could subject your dairy to enforcement action with the possible assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day per violation. Should you have any questions regarding water quality issues or the regulations concerning this matter, please contact me at (910) 771- 4600.

Coble Subject: Notice of Violation/Recommendation for Enforcement Radford Dairy #86-8 Surry County The attached documents represent several years' worth of Radford Dairy's non- compliance, non -cooperation and unpermitted discharges of wastewater into Silverieaf Creek in Surry County. It is our understanding that Mr. Radford still owes more than $2,500.00 for a Civil Penalty assessment in July 1997. The attachments document at least four unpermitted discharges to Silverleaf Creek, at least four additional instances of an overflowing waste storage pond and numerous complaints received by our office regarding the reports of waste in the stream originating from this facility. Please acknowledge the opportunities and efforts by this office to encourage Mr. Radford to maintain adequate freeboard and to also seek the assistance of the Surry County field office in dealing with these matters. Note the 1996 letter from Mr. Radford to the Winston-Salem Regional Office stating his plans for keeping the waste storage pond pumped down, removing stockpiled solids, and for using the waste pond for only wash -down and lot run-off waters. Note also the reports of the lagoon overtopping at least seven times since his response letter. The Winston-Salem Regional Office recommends that the Division seek, at minimum, a temporary restraining order. This request is based on the facility's lack of compliance and cooperation since 1988 and the most recent site visits conducted on March 30 and April 3, 2000 when the waste storage pond was observed to be overtopping again. The Winston-Salem Regional Office considers this facility to be a continuing, immediate threat to the environment. We request that you initiate appropriate action from your office and forward the package to Tommy Stevens for his review. Please contact Melissa Rosebrock in our office at (336) 771-4608 x 265 for any additional information you may need.

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

Roger Dale Radford's request for remission was presented to the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions for consideration. The Division of Water Quality was represented by Mr. Larry Coble, Regional Supervisor in the Winston-Salem Regional Office, and Roger Dale Radford appeared in person. Having considered the record, arguments of the parties, and the factors set forth in N.C.G.S. §143B-282.1(b) and (c), the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions finds the facts contained in the Director's Findings and Decision and Assessment of Civil Penalties as stipulated by Roger Dale Radford, that the findings of fact support the conclusions of law, and that the Director properly applied the criteria set forth in N.C.G.S. § 143B-282.1 in determining the amount of the civil penalties. The Committee further finds that there are no grounds for . 2 remission or reduction of the penalties assessed by the Director for violation of G.S. 143-215.1 by discharging animal waste from a lagoon to the waters of the State in violation of the nondischarge permit the facility was deemed to hold. Upon duly made motion and vote, the Committee finds that the assessment of civil penalties and costs in the amount of $2,743.00 should be upheld and recommends the Secretary or Director enter into an enforceable agreement for payment of the penalty over a period of months.. THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED: 1. That the assessment of civil penalties in the amount of $2,743.00 against Roger Dale Radford is AFFIRMED. 2. That this Final Decision and Order be served upon Roger Dale Radford and upon receipt hereof, the amount of $2,743.00 be paid to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources within thirty days or such greater period as is agreed upon by the parties and contained in an enforceable written agreement.

You should arrive no later than 11:00 a.m. The factors to be considered by the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions are whether: (a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1(b) were wrongly applied to the detriment of the petitioner; (b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (c) the violation was inadvertent or the result of an accident; (d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; (e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.

Jenny Rankin and Mike Mickey of the Winston-Salem Regional Office and you were present for the inspection. Upon arriving at the facility, they observed that the storage pond did not have adequate freeboard as required by the Title 15 A, North Carolina Administrative Code 2H .0200 regulations. The appropriate amount of freeboard for a storage pond is about 18 inches. This means that there should be about 18 inches between the lowest point of the storage pond and the top of the liquid level in the pit. On the day of the inspection there was absolutely no freeboard and the storage pond was discharging. The waste was flowing out of the side of the storage pond and down into a man-made diversion ditch. This ditch conveyed the overflowing waste and some runoff from the barn lot to a field where the water was intended to dissipate over the land. On the day of the inspection some of the diverted waste and runoff was reaching the stream. Please be advised that any non -permitted discharge of any type of wastewater to the waters of the State is illegal as per North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1. Enforcement actions will be taken if you have an illegal discharge. Also if the freeboard of the storage pond is not lowered to the adequate level you will receive future Notices of Violation. Please be aware that continued violations could subject you to enforcement action with the possible assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day per violation.

It lists some other deficiencies that need to be corrected and possibly addressed in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). Please contact the Surry County Soil and Water Conservation District to help you prepare your CAWMP and if you have any questions on how to correct the deficiencies noted in the inspection report. Please notify the Winston-Salem Regional Office within 10 days of receipt of this letter as to the actions proposed to be taken to resolve the deficiencies noted on the inspection form. A schedule of when these corrections will be made should also be included. Please be aware that nothing in this letter should be taken absolving this facility of the responsibility and liability of any violations that have resulted or may result from these deficiencies.

Box 98 Claudville, VA 24076 SUBJECT: Notice of Deficiency Animal Feedlot Operation Site Inspection Radford Dairy Farms Surry County Dear Mr. Radford: The purpose of this letter is to summarize the inspection of your dairy on July 15, 1997. Greg Goings and Tony Davis with the Surry County Soil and Water Conservation District as well as Mike Mickey and Jenny Rankin with the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality were present for the inspection. The inspection found that your waste management system is not well managed. The lagoon had almost no freeboard and there was no evidence of any attempt to try to pump down the lagoon since a thick crust and weeds were growing around the agitator of the pump. The weather has not been inclement and should not have impeded the progress of lowering the level in the lagoon. There were no signs of discharge from the lagoon on the day of the inspection, but there were signs of past discharge. Your request to be removed from the Registration list because you are under the threshold number of animals that would require you to obtain a certified Animal Waste Management Plan has been denied. Even though on the day of the inspection there were only about 50 head of cattle at the facility, the poor history of the farm with regards to water quality issues will require you to have a certified Animal Waste Management Plan filed with our 585 Waughtown Street, �� FAX 910-771-4631 Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27107-2241 NvfC An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Actlon Employer Voice 910-771-4600 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Mr. Roger Radford July 23, 1997 Page #2 Division by December 31, 1997. If your facility remains under the threshold and becomes strictly a pasture operation and your lagoon is closed by NRCS standards then you will not be required to have an Animal Waste Management Plan. Please notify the Winston-Salem Regional Office by August 8, 1997 as to the actions taken or proposed to be taken to resolve this deficiency. - Nothing in this letter should be taken absolving this facility of the responsibility and liability of any violations that have resulted or may result from these deficiencies. If you should have any questions concerning this matter, please call Jenny Rankin or myself at (910) 771-4600.

Therefore owners of these systems were allowed to request that they be issued temporary certifications until December 31, 1997. All that was required to receive this temporary certification was the completion of the Application Form. For you convenience, we are sending you additional copies of the Operator in Charge Designation Form specifically for your facility, Instructions for Completing Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator, and an Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator. Please return this completed Form to this office as soon as possible but in no case later than April 25, 1997. This office maintains a list of certified operators in your area if you need assistance in locating a certified operator. Please note that failure to designate an Operator in Charge of your animal waste management system, is a violation of N.C.G,S. 90A-47.2 and you will be assessed a civil penalty unless an appropriately certified operator is designated. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as absolving you of the responsibility and liability for any past or future violations for your failure to designate an appropriate Operator in Charge by January 1, 1997.

The Committee will convene immediately following the closing of the regularly scheduled business meeting of the Environmental Management Commission in the Ground Floor Hearing Room of the Archdale Building located at 512 North Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina (see enclosed map). You should arrive no later than 12:00 p.m. The factors to be considered by the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions are whether: (a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282. 1 (b) were wrongly applied to the detriment of the petitioner; (b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (c) the violation was inadvertent or the result of an accident; (d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; (e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions. The Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions may remit none of the penalty, a part of the penalty, or the entire penalty. The entire amount of the penalty can only be remitted when the violator has not been assessed civil penalties for previous violations, and when payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.

A representative of the Surry County Natural Resources Conservation Service accompanied Mr. Smith on the inspection. The inspection was conducted in order to determine the waste levels and structural integrity of the waste lagoon as well as overall waste handling capabilities. Observation at the site revealed serious problems with respect to proper disposal of animal waste. The waste storage lagoon was full and the waste was overflowing the dam. The waste stream was flowing directly to Silverieaf Creek which is located approximately 25 meters away from the lagoon. Waste could be seen entering the creels on a steady basis. The loafing areas were barren and there were several sources of stream pollution due to lack of adequate vegetation and easy stream access by the cows. Ideally, a new lagoon should be designed and constructed if the old lagoon is inadequate. Also, a large portion of the creek may need to be fenced out and buffer areas re -vegetated around the creek to help control sources of runoff pollution. 585 Waughtown Street, Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27107-2241 Telephone 910-771-4600 FAX 910-771-4631 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/ 1 D% post -consumer paper �. . 0 Sherman Anderson February 21, 1996 page 2 This office has received complaints in the past about the operation of this dairy.

Emptying waste from the lagoon should be incorporated into Mr. Radford's farm management plan so that at least 18 inches of freeboard is kept on a regular basis. This amount of freeboard will offer protection against the 25 year-24 hour storm event which could cause an overflow if adequate lagoon storage is not available. Please be advised that the non -permitted discharge of any type of wastewater to the waters of the State is illegal as per North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1. Steps must be taken immediately to remedy the problems associated with animal waste runoff. Mr. Roger Dale Radford has been issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) concerning the problems associated with the dairy farm. However, Mr. Radford has not responded to the Division of Environmental Management or the Surry Soil and Water Conservation District. Since Mr. Radford refuses to respond and cooperate with the appropriate government agencies, the responsibility for animal waste containment and pollution prevention of the nearby streams falls onto the legal landowner of the property. If you have any questions about how to handle these problems, you should contact the Surry Soil and Water Conservation District. You are requested to respond in writing to our Winston-Salem Regional Office on or before March 15, 1996 advising what corrective actions have been or will be initiated to prevent future illegal discharges from the waste lagoon. If the Winston-Salem Regional Office has not been contacted by March 15, 1996, a follow-up inspection may be conducted.

This unpermitted discharge. of wastewater into the surface waters of the State is a violation of North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 143-215.1. This type of discharge is also a violation of regulations established by the Federal Clean Water Act. The relevant Federal regulations as they pertain to "Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations" are attached for your review. During the April 7th visit, you expressed a willingness to take the necessary steps to cease the violation. It is my understanding that Mr. Everhart has arranged a technical - assistance visit to your operation. I urge you to follow the recommendations of the S.C.S. representative in this matter. Failure to do so will result in a request to designate your dairy as a "Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation." Additionally, if it becomes necessary to formally designate your operation, you will be regulated in the same manner as a non-agricultural business with a wastewater discharge to surface waters of the State. This could lead to the imposition of civil penalties if enforcement action becomes necessary. You also expressed concern that a portion of the water quality problem originates -upstream of you, possibly by dairy operations in Virginia. Observation of the area upstream of your property indicates that this may be true. We will be performing water quality sampling upstream and downstream of your property this summer, and will contact the appropriate Virginia authorities it a problem is confirmed. Because of the violation, you are requested to respond in writing to our Winston-Salem Regional Office by June 15, 1989, stating what steps have been and/or will be taken to eliminate the discharge and to prevent a similar violation in the future. Your cooperation in this matter is most appreciated. Should you have any questions, please contact our Office at (919) 761-2351. Sincerely, M.

Mr. Dick Everhart, District Conservationist with the Soil Conservation Service, also participated in the site visit. The visit was prompted by complaints this office has received regarding the possible water quality impacts of dairy operations in the area. The inspection revealed that you handle your animal waste by means of a wastewater lagoon. The waste is then land applied for it's nutrient value. This is an excellent method of waste management, provided the lagoon is not allowed to over -flow. The inspection also revealed, however, that there are areas where wastewater is reaching the stream. These areas include the barn to the west of your milking house, and the area immediately below the dike of your lagoon.

N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.6C. 18. The defendant Roger Dale Radford operates the Radford Dairy Farm located one- half mile off of State Road 103 at the'North Carolina/Virginia' state line. The dairy farm consists of a minting parlor, a holding pond for the animal waste, a push off ramp where waste is scraped, gathered, and pushed into the holding pond, and spray fields onto which animal waste can be 5 diversion ditch which contained liquid animal waste. Ms Rosebrock followed the diversion ditch approximately eighty yards where she observed the animal waste flowing into a hole in the ground. She observed waste pooled in a depression below a culvert (pipe) approximately 12 feet from the hole where the waste had entered. Silverleaf Creek is located approximately 20 feet below the pooled area of waste and Ms. Rosebrock observed an eroded channel leading from the pooled area to Silverleaf Creek. 23. Animal waste had been pushed off the concrete lot where cows are contained and the entire area below the freestall barn was wet and contained a dark brown liquid which appeared to be animal waste. Wastewater that exits the concrete lot travels to a man-made utvcrsiun ditch running parallel to Silverleaf Creek, approximately 100 yards from the.sl.oraae pond. 24. As Ms. Rosebrock was completing her inspection; she saw several pieces of cattle carcasses in the late stage of decomposition located approximately 35 feet from the rear of the milk barn and in front of the feed bin. After leaving the farm, Ms. Rosebrock called the State Veterinarian's office in Raleigh, North Carolina to report the observance of the dead animals. 3b , 25. On March, 2000, Ms. Rosebrock inspected the Radford Dairy Farm. There was no one present at the site during the inspection. During the inspection she,noted that there was 0 (zero) inches of freeboard in the storage pond and solid and liquid waste were exiting the lagoon running off of the sides of the barn lots into the pasture beside the creek. The waste was running through a man-made diversion ditch located parallel to Silverleaf Creek to another field where it dissipated near the creek. During this inspection, Ms. Rosebrock saw no evidence that 7 any waste had been pumped or irrigated to sprayfields. Ms. Rosebrock also observed two dead cattle carcasses on the west side of the milking parlor. 26. , On April 3, 2000, Ms. Rosebrock again inspected the Radford Dairy Farm. She noted that there was 0 (zero) inches of -freeboard and solid and liquid waste was still exiting the lagoon at was running off the sides of the barnlots into the pasture beside the creek. The dead cattle carcasses she observed during the MarchA2000 inspection were still lying along the fence. Defendant was sent a Notice of Violation on May 4, 2000 documenting the violations at the farm and summarizing- the Tarm's past noncompliance. 2 i. On February 17, 1998, DWQ inspectors Mike Mickey and .Jerry Rankin from D'XQ, InspGc:ied the Radford Dairy Farm and observed that the storage pond had 0 (zero) inches of freeboard and waste was discharging from the pond into a man-made diversion ditch, iVaste was observed flowing into Silverleaf Creek. 28. On July 15, 1997, Mike Mickey and Jenny Rankin. of DWQ inspected the Radford Dairy Farm and observed that the storage pond had almost no freeboard and there was no evidence that defendant had attempted to increase the waste level in the lagoon by spraying on sprayfields. In addition, evidence of a past discharge of waste was observed. 29. On July 23, 1997, defendant and Sherman Anderson, former owner of the farm, were assessed a civil penalty by the Director of the Division of Water Quality for a discharge of animal waste to waters of the State in violation of N.C.G.S. § 143-215.1. 'Defendant has paid only $228.59 �of the penalty. A complaint was filed by the State in SuM, County Superior Court for collection of the penalty on August 11, 2000. Defendant.has not answered this complaint and 9 the State filed a Motion for Default Judgment with Surry County Superior Court on March 26, 2001. (These documents are on file with the Surry County Superior Court). 30. - On November 13, 1995, 'Allan Smith, an inspector with the Division of Environmental Management (now DWQ), inspected the Radford Dairy Farm and observed that the waste storage pond was full and that waste was overflowing the dam and running directly into Silverleaf Creek on a continuous basis. A Notice of Violation was sent to defendant documenting such inspection on December 5, 1995. 31. The storage pond at the Radford Dairy Farm current]v .contains over 100,000 gall ons of animal waste. The inadequate freeboard level in the storage pond and the eroded push off ramp greatly increases the risk that the liquid in the. lagoon will either- overtop the lagoon structure or that the lagoon wall will fail. If the lagoon wall fails,.the waste in it would flow into the diversion ditch which leads to H.verleaf-Creek to Archie's Creek and ultimately to the Dan River. This situation constitutes an immediate threat -to the State's surface waters. A significant failure at this site could have a serious impact on water quality in SUverleaf Creek, Archie's Creek, and the Dan River. For these reasons, time is of the essence and a temporary restraining order is necessary to require the defendant to prevent -this injury, loss, and damage to the State's waters before a notice and hearing can be held on Plaintiffs Motioni for a Temporary Restraining Order. 32. The inadequate freeboard level of the defendant's storage pond and the eroded concrete push off ramp. at the Radford Dairy Farm pose the threat of an imminent and unlawful discharge to the waters of the State. The caws on the defendant's farm continue to produce waste which is pushed into a storage pond that is almost full and in danger of failing. The 0 storage pond is not structurally sound and the defendant has no plan to properly manage the animal waste at his farm. In order to alleviate the threat posed by the unsafe condition of the defendant's storage pond, the defendant must immediately act to repair the storage pond and push off ramp and to lower the freeboard in the storage pond. In the alternative, defendant must immediately remove all animals 33. The continued operation of the animal waste system without adequate freeboard and with a structurally deficient storage pond threatens to cause: (a) serious danger to the public health, safety, and welfare of the people of the State of.North Carolina. and (h) serious harm to the land and water resources of the State of North Carolina. thereby constituting a pubiic raiisunc:e. The storage pond and push off ramp must be repaired, the diversion. ditch -eliminated, and the freeboard increased to a safe level in order to abate the nuisance. In the alternative, ,he defendant should terminate or suspend all operations at the far:,, until the nuisance has been abated. 15 Y CMIrajT Q z1jjur'1C:HQI-L IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Motion' for ,j r is hereby GRANTED and it is Ordered, Adjudged and decreed: 1.

Ross, Jr., Secretary, North Carolina Department of Environment. and Natural Resources, Plaintiff, V. ROGER DALE RADFORD AND Defendant. IN THE GENERAL COURT OF JUSTICE SUPERIOR COURT DIVISION 01 CVS COMPLAINT AND APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AND MOTION FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF The State of North Carolina in accordance with Article 21 of Chapter 143. and Article 37 of Chapter 1 of the North Carolina General Statutes, and N.C.G.S. § lA-1, Rule 65 complaining of the defendant, alleges and says: PARTIES l . The plaintiff is the sovereign State of North Carolina. The plaintiff brings this action on its behalf and as parens patriae on behalf of all residents and citizens of the State of North Carolina, especially those residing near or downstream of the Radford Dairy Farm. Roy Cooper, Attorney General, is the elective legal officer of the State of North Carolina, and is empowered to bring the common law nuisance claims contained herein on behalf of all residents and citizens of the State. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources ("DENR" or the "Department"), is an agency of the State established pursuant to the provisions of G.S. • 14313-275, et sgq., and is vested with the statutory authority regarding protection of the environment invoked herein. William G. Ross, Jr., is the Secretary of DENR. 2. The defendant, Roger Dale Radford is the operator of the Radford Dairy Farm ("the farm") located in the Northeastern part of Surry County, North Carolina, approximately one-half mile off State Road 103 near the North Carolina -Virginia state Iine. Defendant is the lessee of the property on which the farm is located and also has an option to buy the property. JURISDICTION AND VENUE 3. The Superior Court has jurisdiction of this action for injunctive relief for existing or threatened violations of various .laws and rules governing the protection of water resources pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. §§ 7A-245 and 143-215.6C, and North Carolina's common law of public nuisance. 4. Surry County is a proper venue for this action because the violations or threatened violations which are the subject of this action for injunctive relief have occurred, are occurring, and may occur in Surry County. GENERAL ALLEGATIONS Applicable Laws and Regulations 5. Pursuant to Article III, Section 7 of the Constitution of North Carolina, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 114-1.1, and the common law, the Attorney General is vested with common law powers to have public nuisances abated. 6. Pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.3(a)(1), the Environmental Management Commission ("EMC" or. the "Commission") has the power ."[t)o make rules implementing 2 Articles 21, 21A, 21B or 38 of this Chapter." These statutes, and the rules adopted under them, are designed to further the public policy of the State, as declared in N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-211, "to provide for the conservation of its water and air resources... [and], within the context of this Article [21] and Articles 21A and 21B of this Chapter [143], to achieve and to maintain for the citizens of the State a total environment of superior quality." 7. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-211 further provides that "[s]tandards of water and air purity shall be designed to protect human health, to prevent injury to plant and animal life, to prevent damage to public and private property, to insure the continued enjoyment of the natural attractions of the State, to encourage the expansion of employment opportunities, to provide a permanent foundation for healthy industrial development and to secure for the people of North Carolina, now and in the future, the beneficial uses of these great natural resources." 8. The Commission has the power to issue permits with such conditions attached as the Commission believes are necessary to achieve the purposes of Article 21 of Chapter 143 of the General Statutes. N.C.Gen. Stat. § 143-215.1(b). 9. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H.0217, animal waste management systems for which waste does not reach the surface waters by runoff, drift, direct application or direct discharge during operation or land application and which are designed for and actually serve less than 100 head of cattle are "deemed permitted" pursuant to G.S. 143-215.1(d) and are not required to obtain an individual permit from the Division of Water Quality. 10. Animal waste management systems which are "deemed permitted" and that are determined to have an adverse impact on water quality may be required to obtain an approved Ica animal waste management plan or to apply for and receive an individual non -discharge permit from the Division of Water Quality. 15A NCAC 2H.0217(a)(1)(A). The Director of the Division of Water Quality may on a case by case basis determine that a facility should not be deemed permitted and may require such facility to obtain an individual non -discharge permit. This determination will be made based on existing or projected environmental impacts. NCAC 2H.0217(b) 11. Pursuant to its authority in N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.3(a)(4) to delegate such of its powers as it deems necessary, the Commission has delegated the authority to issue individual non -discharge permits and certificates of coverage under the animal waste management system general permit to the Director of the Department's Division of Water Quality ("DWQ"). 15A NCAC 2H.0209. 12. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.1 requires a permit from the Commission before any person can "make outlets into the waters of the state" or "cause or permit any waste, directly or indirectly, to be discharged to or in any manner intermixed with the waters of the State in violation of the water quality standards applicable to the assigned classifications ... unless allowed as a condition of any permit, special order or other appropriate instrument issued or entered into by the Commission under the provisions of this Article [Article 21 of Chapter 143 of the General Statutes]." N.C. Gen. Stat. §143-215.1(a)(1) and (6). I3. Rules adopted by the EMC at Subchapter 2H.0200 of Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code ("the Code") establish the requirements and procedures for application and issuance of permits for waste disposal systems which do not discharge to the 4 t surface waters of the State, including, among others, animal waste management systems. These rules (the "non -discharge rules") are attached hereto as Exhibit A. 14. The Code defines animal waste management system as "a combination of structural and non-structural practices which will properly collect, treat, store or apply animal waste to the land such that no discharge of pollutants occurs to surface waters of the state [Emphasis added] by any -means except as a result of a storm event more severe than the 25-year, 24 hour storm." 15A NCAC 2H.0203(3). 15. ' Pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.6C, "[w]henever the Department has reasonable cause to believe that any person has violated or is threatening to violate any of the provisions of this Part [Part 1, Article 21, of the North Carolina General Statutes], any of the terms of any permit issued pursuant to this Part, or a rule implementing this Part, ..." the Department is authorized to "request the Attorney General to institute a civil action in the name of the State upon the relation of the Department for injunctive relief to restrain the violation or threatened violation." 16. That section further provides that "[u]pon a determination by the court that the alleged violation of the provisions of this Part or the regulations of the Commission has occurred or is threatened, the court shall grant the relief necessary to prevent or abate the violation or threatened violation." N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.6C. 17, Additionally, the section provides that "[n]either the institution of the action nor any of the proceedings thereon shall relieve any party to such proceedings from any penalty prescribed for violation of this Part." N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.6C. E Factual Allegations 18. The defendant Roger Dale Radford operates the Radford Dairy Farm located one- half mile off of State Road 103 at the North Carolina/Virginia state line. The dairy farm consists of a milking parlor, a holding pond for the animal waste, a push off ramp where waste is scraped, gathered, and pushed into the holding pond, and spray fields onto which animal waste can be applied. Currently, there are approximately 40 cows on the farm. The holding pond can hold approximately 181,914 gallons of animal waste when full. A diagram of the farm is attached hereto as Exhibit B. 19. Defendant does not have a certified animaI waste management plan or a general or individual permit for the farm. The facility is "deemed permitted" pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H.0217. 20. Silverleaf Creek, classified as Class C trout waters of the State is' located approximately 25 meters from the waste storage pond at the farm.. Silverleaf Creek runs to Archie's Creek which leads to the Dan River in the Roanoke River Basin. 21. On March 22, 2001 at approximately 1:30 p.m., Melissa Rosebrock, an Environmental Specialist with the Winston Salem Regional Office of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality ("DWQ") and Tony Davis of the Surry County Soil and Watcr Conservation District visited the Radford Dairy Farm for an annual inspection of the facility. Ms. Rosebrock observed that several pastures were denuded and that two to three feet of animal waste had been pushed up to the end of a push -off ramp on the side of the waste storage pond. A C:l portion of the push -off ramp had begun to' fall into the storage pond due to erosion of the soil underneath the pad. 22. Two animal burrow holes were noted in the wall of the storage pond and the wall closest to Silverleaf Creek was overgrown with vegetation. Ms. Rosebrock observed that the freeboard (amount of space from top of liquid to top of dike wall) of the storage lagoon was approximately four inches below the spillway, which is located adjacent to the push -off ramp and behind the milking parlor. There was evidence that waste had been discharged out of the spillway in that liquid waste was present on the outside of the spillway. The spillway leads to a diversion ditch which contained liquid animal waste. Ms Rosebrock followed the diversion ditch approximately eighty yards where she observed the animal waste flowing into a hole in the ground. She observed waste pooled in a depression below a culvert (pipe) approximately 12 feet from the hole where the waste had entered. Silverleaf Creek is located approximately 20 feet below the pooled area of waste and Ms. Rosebrock observed an eroded channel leading from the pooled area to Silverleaf Creek. 23. Animal waste had been pushed off the concrete lot where cows are contained and the entire area below the freestall barn was wet and contained a dark _brown liquid which appeared to be animal waste. Wastewater that exits the concrete lot travels to a man-made diversion ditch running parallel to Silverleaf Creek, approximately 100 yards from the storage pond. 24. As Ms. Rosebrock was completing her inspection, she saw several pieces of cattle carcasses in the late stage of decomposition located approximately 35 feet from the rear of the 7 milk barn and in front of the feed bin. After leaving the farm, Ms. Rosebrock called the State Veterinarian's office in Raleigh, North Carolina to report the observance of the dead animals. Ms. Rosebrock's inspection report from her March 22, 2001 inspection of the facility is attached as Exhibit C. Sixteen photographs take by Ms. Rosebrock at the farm on March 22, 2001 are attached as Exhibits D1 - D16. 25, On March 30, 2000, Ms. Rosebrock inspected the Radford Dairy Farm. There was no one present at the site during the inspection. During the inspection she noted that there was 0 (zero) inches of freeboard in the storage pond and solid and liquid waste were exiting the lagoon running off of the sides of the barn lots into the pasture beside the creek. The waste was running through a man-made diversion ditch located parallel to Silverleaf Creek to another field where it dissipated near the creek. During this inspection, Ms. Rosebrock saw no evidence that any waste had been pumped or irrigated to sprayfields. Ms. Rosebrock also observed two dead cattle carcasses on the west side of the milking parlor. Ms. Rosebrock's inspection report is attached as Exhibit E. 26. On April 3, 2000, Ms. Rosebrock again inspected the Radford Dairy Farm. She noted that there was 0 (zero) inches of freeboard and solid and liquid waste was still exiting the lagoon at was running off the sides of the barnlots into the pasture beside the creek. The dead cattle carcasses she observed during the March 20, 2000 inspection were still lying along the fence. This inspection report is attached as Exhibit F. Defendant was sent a Notice of Violation on May 4, 2000 documenting the violations at the farm and summarizing the farm's past noncompliance. This document is included as Exhibit G. 0 27. On February 17, 1998, DWQ inspectors Mike Mickey and Jenny Rankin from DWQ inspected the Radford Dairy Farm and observed that the storage pond had 0 (zero) inches of freeboard and waste was discharging from the pond into a man-made diversion ditch. Waste was observed flowing into Silverleaf Creek. A February 20, 1998 Notice of Violation documenting these occurrences is included as Exhibit H. 28. On July 15, 1997, Mike Mickey and Jenny Rankin of DWQ inspected the Radford Dairy Farm and observed that the storage pond had almost no freeboard and there was no evidence that defendant had attempted to increase the waste level in the lagoon by spraying on sprayfields. In addition, evidence of a past discharge of waste was observed. A July 23, 1997 Notice of Deficiency to defendant is included as documentation of these events as Exhibit I. 29. On July 23, 1997, defendant and Sherman Anderson, former owner of the farm, were assessed a civil penalty by the Director of the Division of Water Quality for a discharge of animal waste to waters of the State in violation of N.C.G.S. § 143-215.1. This penalty is attached as Exhibit J. Defendant has paid only $228,59 of the penalty. A complaint was filed by the State in Surry County Superior Court for collection of the penalty on August 11, 2000. Defendant has not answered this complaint and the State filed a Motion for Default Judgment with Surry County Superior Court on March 26, 2001. (These documents are on file with the Surry County Superior Court). 30, On November 13, 1995, Allan Smith, an inspector with the Division of Environmental Management (now DWQ), inspected the Radford Dairy Farm and observed that the waste storage pond was full and that waste was overflowing the dam and running directly 6 into Silverleaf Creek on a continuous basis. A Notice of Violation was sent to defendant documenting such inspection on December 5, 1995. This NOV is attached as Exhibit K. 31. The storage pond at the Radford Dairy Farm currently contains over 100,000 gallons of animal waste. The inadequate freeboard level in the storage pond and the eroded push off ramp greatly increases the risk that the liquid in the lagoon will either overtop the lagoon structure or that the lagoon wall will fail. If the lagoon wall fails, the waste in it would flow into the diversion ditch which leads to Silverleaf, Creek to Archie's Creek and ultimately to the Dan River. This situation constitutes an immediate threat to the State's surface waters. A significant failure at this site could have a serious impact on water quality in Silverleaf Creek, - Archie's Creek, and the Dan River. For these reasons, time is of the essence and a temporary restraining order is necessary to require the defendant to prevent this injury, loss, and damage to the State's waters before a notice and hearing can be held on Plaintiff's Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order. 32. The inadequate freeboard level of the defendant's storage pond and the eroded concrete push off ramp at the Radford Dairy Farm pose the threat of an imminent and unlawful discharge to the waters of the State. The cows on the defendant's farm continue to produce waste which is pushed into a storage pond that is almost full and in danger of failing. The storage pond is not structurally sound and the defendant has no plan to properly manage the animal waste at his farm. In order to alleviate the threat posed by the unsafe condition of the defendant's storage pond, the defendant must immediately act to repair the storage pond and 9 push off ramp and to lower the freeboard in the storage pond. In the alternative, defendant must immediately remove all animals from the Radford Dairy Farm. CLAIM FOR RELIEF 33. The allegations contained in paragraphs 1 through 32 are incorporated into this claim for relief as if fully set forth herein. 34. The continued operation of the animal waste system without adequate freeboard and with a structurally deficient storage pond threatens to cause: (a) serious danger to the public health, safety, and welfare of the people of the State of North Carolina, and (b) serious harm to the land and water resources of the State of North Carolina, thereby constituting a public nuisance. The storage pond and push off ramp must be repaired, the diversion ditch eliminated, and the freeboard increased to a safe level in order to abate the nuisance. In the alternative, the defendant should terminate or suspend all operations at the farm until the nuisance has been abated. 35. The public nuisance can be abated by a variety of different means and measures within the control of the defendant. Plaintiffs seek the assistance of this Court in crafting an action plan to abate the nuisance, including, but not limited to: structural repair to the storage pond, push -off ramp and concrete berms, elimination of the diversion ditch, pumping and hauling waste from the storage pond, and applying for and receiving an individual non -discharge permit from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. 36. Plaintiff is entitled a temporary restraining order, and a preliminary and permanent injunctive relief mandating abatement of the nuisance. 37. Plaintiff has notified defendant of the Complaint and the Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order by leaving a voice mail message on his answering machine, by serving the notice in overnight Federal Express Mail on Friday March 23, 2001, and by posting a copy of the Notice of Hearing on his milk parlor and on another building and the Radford Dairy Farm on Friday March 23, 2001. PRAYER FOR RELIEF WHEREFORE, the plaintiff, State of North Carolina, prays that the Court grant to it the following relief: That the Court accept this verified complaint as an affidavit upon which to base all orders of the Court. 2. That the Court enter a temporary restraining order without notice or hearing requiring the following; a. That within 48 hours of the effective date of the order, the defendant shall submit to the DWQ Winston Salem Office for its approval, a plan outlining how the defendant will reduce the level of liquid impounded in its storage pond so that a minimum of 12 inches of freeboard will be attained within 30 days of the DWQ's approval of the plan and, further, outlining how the defendant will maintain a minimum of 12 inches of freeboard in the storage pond at all times. b. - That within 24 hours of the plan approval, the defendant shall begin to implement the lagoon level reduction plan. Defendant shall obtain a minimum of 12 inches of freeboard within 30 days of initiation of the plan. 12 That within 30 days of the effective date of this order, the defendant shall initiate and complete the repair of the concrete berms, one located near the concrete push off ramp and the other located near the entrance to the freestall barn. d. That within 30 days of the effective date of this order, the defendant shall initiate and complete repair and stabilization of the concrete push -off ramp located at the edge of the storage pond which is behind the milking parlor. e. That within.30 days of the effective date of this order, the defendant shall either obtain a certified animal waste management plan for the dairy farm and apply to the DWQ Central Office for an individual non -discharge permit for animal operations, or submit a closure plan for the dairy farm. Such closure plan shall include a plan for closure of the storage pond. f. That within 30 days of the effective date of this order, defendant shall fill in the diversion ditch running parallel between the storage pond and Silverleaf Creek, and repair the two animal burrow holes located in the dike wall. 3. That in the event that within 48 hours the defendant cannot design and implement a plan to obtain adequate freeboard within 30 days of the execution of this order, as specified in paragraph 2(a) above, the defendant shall immediately remove the cows from the farm ("depopulation"). Such depopulation shall be completed as soon as possible but in no event more than 14 days after the effective date of the temporary restraining -order. Thereafter, the defendant shall cease and refrain from all operations of the dairy farm, including but not limited to the introduction of any cows to the farm, the impregnation of any cows at the farm, or the production of any new animal waste at the farm until and unless the defendant has: 13 0 a. attained 12 inches of freeboard in the lagoon, and b. abated the hazardous conditions presently existing on the farm which pose a public nuisance, obtained a certified animal waste management plan, and applied for and received an individual non -discharge permit for animal operations from the DWQ Central Office. 4. That the Defendant be ordered to appear at a time and place set by the Court for a preliminary injunction hearing to determine whether the terms of the Order and the relief sought in the Complaint should be granted. 5. That this Court preliminarily, and upon final judgment permanently, enter a mandatory injunction, requiring defendant to abate the hazardous conditions presently existing on its farm which pose a public nuisance, to complete all repairs specified in paragraphs 2(c) and 2(d) and 2(f), and fill in the diversion ditch running parallel between the the storage pond and Silverleaf Creek and repair the animal burrow holes located in the dike wall of the lagoon; obtain a certified animal waste management plan for the dairy farm, and either apply for and receive an individual non -discharge permit from DWQ or submit and implement a closure plan for the dairy farm. 6. That if the defendant determines that it is in its best interest to terminate the dairy operation at the Radford Dairy Farm, the defendant shall (1) within 30 days of the execution of this order, submit to the DWQ Winston Salem Regional Office a closure plan for the dairy farm which includes a plan for closure of the storage pond; (2) wind down all operations, and (3) within 6 months of the submittal of the closure plan to DWQ, complete the closure of the dairy 14 A 0 farm, including closure of the storage pond at this site in accordance with the Natural Resource Conservation Service standards for lagoon closure. 7. That any temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or permanent injunction issued by the Court shall be enforceable by and through the contempt powers of this Court, pursuant to Chapter A of the North Carolina General Statutes. S. That this Court grant such other and further relief as the Court shall deem to be just and proper. Respectfully submitted, this the c`p day of March, 2001.

(E) Existing animal waste management systems serving equal to or greater than the number of animal as listed in Part (a)(])(A) of this Rule, which have an approved animal waste management plan by December 31, 1997. Systems that do not have an approved animal waste management plan or are determined to have an adverse impact on water quality may be required to apply for and receive an individual nondischarge permit from DEM. (F) New and expanded animal waste management systems serving equal to or greater than the number of animals listed in Part (a)(1)(A) of this Rule which are placed in operation during the period from the effective date of this Rule through December 31,1993 and which submitted a registration form for the system to DEM on forms supplied or approved by DEM. Systems that are determined to have an adverse impact on water quality may be required to obtain an approved animal waste management plan or to apply for and receive an individual nondischarge permit ]from DEM. (G) New and expanded animal waste management systems serving equal to or greater than the number of animals listed in Part (a)(1)(A) of this Rule, which have an approved animal waste management plan after December 31, 1993. (H) For the purpose of this Rule, the procedtires for the development of an approved animal waste management plan shall be as follows: (i) The animal waste management practices or combination of practices which are selected to comprise a plan for a specific feedlot must meet the minimum standards and specifications of the U.S. Department of Agriculture - Soil Conservation Service contained in the Field Office Technical Guide or the standard of practices adopted by the Soil and Water commission or standards for any combination of practices which provide water. quality protection and are approved by one of these two agencies. (ii) Plans must be certified by any technical specialist designated pursuant to rules adopted by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission and the certificate submitted to the DEM central office on forms approved or supplied by DEM. The technical specialist must certify that the. bestmanagernent practices which comprise the plan meet the applicable minimum standards and specifications. Should the Soil and Water Conservation Commission fail to adopt rules to implement the provisions of this Rule within 12 months of its effective date, all animal waste management systems that would have been required to obtain an approved animal waste management plan must apply for and receive an individual nondischarge permit from the Division of Environmental Management. (iii) The land application buffers must meetthe conditions established in Subpart (a)(1)(C)(ii) of this - Rule. (iv) The waste shall not be applied at greater than agronomic rates. NORTH CAROLINA ADMINISTRATITT CODE 01/.24100 Pimp 77 TR - EAT RONMEA7 1p141\AGEMEI�'T � T15A: 02H.0200 (v) For new or expanded animal waste management systems requiring a plan, plan approval must include an on -site inspection to confirm that animal waste storage and treatment structures such as but not limited to lagoons and ponds have been designed and constructed to meet the appropriate minimum standards and specifications. (vi) New and expanded animal waste storage and treatment facilities such as but not limited to lagoons and ponds shall be located at least 100 feet from perennial waters as indicated on the most recent published version of U.S.G.S. 1:24,000 (7.5 minute) scale topographic maps and other waters as determined by the local soil and water conservation district. This buffer requirement shall also apply to areas where an established vegetative cover will not be maintained because of the concentration of animals, with the exception of stream crossings. Animal waste storage/treatment facilities and animal concentration areas will be exempt from the minimum buffer requirements if it can be documented that no practicable alternative exists and that equivalent controls are' used as approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission. (vii) For new facilities, an animal waste management plan must be approved before animals are initially stocked. For an expanded facility, an animal waste management plan must be approved before the additional animals are stocked. New and expanded systems may be constructed in phases as long as each phase meets the minimum criteria established in Subpart (a)(1)(M(i) of this Rule. (viii) For existing animal waste management systems, the animal waste management plan shall include only operational and maintenance standards and specifications in effect on the date of plan approval. Meeting minimum design and construction standards and specifications for existing animal waste storage and treatment structures, such as but not limited to lagoons and ponds, shall not be required foi plan approval. (ix) An approved plan for an existing animal waste management system maybe amended at any time without submitting a new certification to DEM if the revision meets minimum standards and specifications and is approved by any technical specialist designated pursuant to Subpart (a)(l)(H)(ii) of this Rule. (x) For animal waste management systems which use third party applicators, the plan must require a current record to be maintained for a period of one year which includes the name, address and phone number of the third party applicator, the date of removal of the animal waste and the amount of waste removed. (xi) An approved plan is not required to be approved again when revisions are made to the minimum standards and specifications, but such revision, as applicable, will be encouraged to be incorporated into the plan. (xii) For each change in ownership of the feedlot, the new owner must notify DEM in writing within 60 days of transfer of ownership that the approved plan has been read and is understood and that all provisions of the plan will be implemented. (xiii) A copy of the approved plan, the signed certification form and any approved revisions to the plan shall be maintained by the operator. (2) Treatment works and disposal systems for solid waste disposal sites and composting facilities for solid waste, .� residuals or residues approved in accordance with the rules of the Commission for Health Services if tht - Commission forHealth Services has received the written concurrence of the Director. The term solid waste,:`-x' is used as defined in G.S. I30A-290 and includes hazardous waste. (3) Any building sewer documented by the local building inspector to be in compliance with the N.C.

(11) Operations that involve routine maintenance or the rehabilitation of existing sewer lines. In situations where existing sewer lines are undergoing routine maintenance, the existing sewer Iines are being rehabilitated by constructing or installing replacement sewers, or the existing sewer lines are being refurbished by the installation of some type of sealant or sleeve inside the existing sewer line, a specific nondischarge permit is not required. These operations will be deemed to be permitted as long as all construction and installation conforms to the design criteria of the Division pursuant to Rule .0219 of this Section, as long as new sources of wastewater flow are not being connected to the rehabilitated sewers, and as long as all replacements or newly constructed sewers are located in the same proximity (same general horizontal and vertical alignment) as the existing sewers. If any of the criteria in this Paragraph are not being adhered to, a site specific permit must be requested by the applicant. Additionally, once the maintenance or rehabilitation activities are completed, a North Carolina Professional Engineer's certification (form provided by the Division) must be submitted to the appropriate Regional Supervisor for the completed work. (b) The Director however may on a case by case basis determine that a facility should not be deemed to be permitted in accordance with this Rule and be required to obtain individual nondischarge permits. This determinati on will be made based on existing or projected environmental impacts. (c) AlI .existing, new or expanding animal waste management systems serving equal to or greater than the number of animals as listed in Part (a)(I)(A) of this Rule must submit a registration form for the system to DEM. Failure to register on or before December 31, I993, shall result in an appropriate enforcement action being initiated or the facility being required to apply for and receive an individual nondischarge permit. Penalties assessed may be based on any one or a combination of the factors as established in G.S. 143B-282.1(b) and commensurate with actual or potential environmental damage. (d) Failure to obtain approval of a managementplan as required by the dates specified in Paragraph (a)(1) ofthis Rule or failure to follow an approved animal waste management plan shall result in appropriate enforcement actions being initiated or the facility being required to apply for and receive an individual nondischarge permit.

There was evidence of a dark brown liquid in the man-made diversion ditch running parallel to Silverleaf Creek. The liquid appeared o be coming from the land next to the freestall barn and push -off ramp area. The brown liquid had traveled along the diversion ditch, hrough a hole or submerged drain pipe, under the road/path and into a concrete drain pipe that drains into Silverleaf Creek. A large )uddle of brown liquid was pooled under the concrete pipe, next to the creek. Waste is not being contained on the concrete lot or being to the waste storage pond. A large amount of animal waste was piled onto the end of the push -off ramp. Part of the push -off ramp has started to collapsed into waste storage pond, along with the waste pile. Lots of waste has washed off the concrete lot into a wet area and into the diversion ,h which leads to the concrete drain pipe. Much of the pasture area is denuded and some channeling has begun to wash soil and waste to the creek. Need to increase butter area establish vegetation on the pastures. May need to re -grade some areas that have rutted -out. Waste pond is 3-4 inches from coming over the spillway. The creek side of the dam contains at least two burrow holes. One is about [hree feet four the top of the dam and the other is about seven feet down. 5. This facility does not have a CAWMR 7. Waste pond dam need to have vegetation mowed/cut. Burrow holes need to be repaired. 3. Concrete lot needs to have berms repaired/rep]aced to contain the waste to the concrete and the waste storage pond. ). This waste pond has never had a liquid waste marker, 16. The SWCD noted that the tractor did not have a PTO on it with which to agitate and pump waste out for application. 23. This facility has never had a certified operator. This office has never been contacted by the operator to report high freeboard or emergency conditions. This inspection was performed as a part of the other 0200 inspections for Surry county. Today's inspection was performed to check freeboard level due to the past history of non-compliance. We could not locate anyone on site. Found out later that operator had -n on site and was hiding in the milk barn again (see 2000 DWQ inspection). This facility should continue to be checked periodically for high freeboard/overflows/dead animals. The carcass remains of a dead cow were located in several different piles about 35 feet from the rear of the milking parlor, in front c feed bin. This was noted last year as well. The state vet's office was notified immediately. Reviewer/Inspector Name IMelissa Rosebrock Reviewer/Inspector Signature: j Date: p� 01/01/01 -w w 11 4C — s � � ' � -..

SUBJECT: Notice of Violation Recommendation for Enforcement Radford Dair!Farm, #86-8 Surry County Dear Mr. Radford: The purpose of this letter is to summarize the findings of compliance inspections -�` performed March 30 and April 3, 2000 at your dairy farm in Surry County. Melissa T Rosebrock of the Division of Water Quality -Winston-Salem Regional Office performed the initial inspection as a result of an overflowing «caste storage pond complaint received by our office. Greg Goings of the Natural Resource Conservation Service and Tony '. Davis of the Division of Soil and Water Conservation District also accompanied staff on the initial visit. The second inspection was a follow-up by Melissa Rosebrock and Jenny =' Rankin of this office. The investigations revealed the following= « At approximately 1:30 p.m. on March 30, 2000 the waste holding pond was overflowin�(7 at a rate up to two gallons per minute. The overflow carried _ solids for approximately ten feet then became mostly liquid as the solids settled out. The overflow was 165 feet from Silver Leaf Creel:. Past overflov., was evident as standing wastewater, was observed around the max. toc of the dam. Note that, at its closest point, the dam of the waste storage 5 structur:.' is only 63 feet from the creek. Waste wa-' stockpiled on the barn lot around thefreestall barn as well as the lot behind the milking parlor. in both instances, the waste was piled so high tha, it had spilled over concre€e berms into the beside Silver Leaf pasture Or. March 30, two dead calves were also observed on the west side of the barn. Their carcase,- appeared 5 peared to hay., beer. there approximately one week.

Both solid and liquid waste was still coming from the waste storage structure and flowing into the pasture beside the creek. • On April 3, 2000 waste solids were continuing to be stockpiled on the barn lots to a depth of at least three feet. Waste from the barn lots was observed to be coming down the embankment into the pasture beside the creek. • On both March 30 and April 4, a man-made diversion, at least 100 yards in length, conveyed the liquid waste alongside the creek to another field where it dissipated. • The two, calf carcasses were observed to still be lying near the fence on the west side of the barn on April 4, 2000 A review of our written files indicates several years' .worth of non-compliance, non- cooperation and unpermitted discharges of wastewater from the Radford Dairy into Silverleaf Creek in Surry County. It is our understanding that more than $2,500.00 is still owed for a Civil Penalty assessment in July 1997. Our files document at least four unpermitted discharges to Silverleaf Creek, at least four additional instances of an overflowing waste storage pond and -numerous complaints received by our office regarding the reports of waste in the stream originating from the Radford Dairy Farm. This office has encouraged and given you ample opportunity to maintain adequate freeboard and to seek the assistance of the Surry County field office in dealing with these matters. A 1996 letter from you to the Winston-Salem Regional Office states your plans for keeping the waste storage pond pumped down, removing stockpiled solids, and for using the waste pond for only wash -down and lot run-off waters.. Our files document the waste storage pond overtopping at least seven times since your letter. The Winston-Salem Regional Office considers this facility to be a continuing, immediate threat to the environment. As such, the Winston-Salem Regional Office is recommending that the Division seek enforcement against the Radford Dairy Farm. This request is based on the facility's lack of compliance and cooperation since 1988 and the most recent site visits conducted on March 30 and April 3, 2000 when the waste storage pond was observed to be overtopping again. Please be advised that the non -permitted discharge of any type of wastewater to the waters, of the State is illegal as per North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and could subject you to civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day per violation. If you have justification that these violations were caused by circumstances beyond your control, you should include this with your written response within 14 days of receipt of this Notice. The Winston-Salem Regional Office will review your response and forward it to the Water Quality Section Chief for her review.

Upon arriving at the facility, they observed that the storage pond did not have adequate freeboard as required by the Title 15 A, North Carolina Administrative Code 2H .0200 regulations. The appropriate amount of freeboard for a storage pond is about 18 'inches. This means that there should be about 18 inches betwccn the lowest point of the storage pond and the top of the liquid level in the pit. On the day of'the inspection there was absolutely. no freeboard and the storage pond was discharging. The waste was flowing out of the side of the storage pond and down into a mazy -:Wade diversion ditch. This ditch conveyed the overflowing waste and some runoff from the barn lot to a field where the water was intended to dissipate over the land. On the day of the inspection some of the diverted waste and runoff was reaching the stream. Please be advised that any non -permitted discharge of any type of wastewater to the waters of the State is illegal as per North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1. Enforcement actions will be taken if you have an illegal discharge. Also if the freeboard of the storage pond is not lowered to the adequate level you will receive future Notices of 'Violation.

Greg Goings and Tony Davis with the Surry County Soil and Water Conservation District as well as Mike Mickey and Jenny Rankin with the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality were present for the inspection. The inspection found that your waste inumgoment system is not well managed. The lagoon had almost no froeboard and there was no evidence of any attempt to try to pump down the Iagoon since a thick crust and weeds were growing around the agitator of the pump. The weather has not been inclement and should not have impeded the progress of lowering the level in the lagoon. There %ere no signs of discharge from the lagoon on fie day of the inspection, but there were signs of past discharge. Your request to be removed from the Registration list because you are under the threshold number of animals that would require you to obtain a certified Animal Waste Management flan has been denied.

The inspection was conducted in order to determine the waste levels and'structural integrity_ of the waste Iagoon a< well as overall waste handling capabilities. Observation at the site revealed serious problems with respect to proper disposal of animal waste_ The waste storage Iagoon was full and the waste was overflowing the dam. The waste stream was flowing directly to Silverleaf Creek which is located approximately�25 meter away from the lagoon. Waste could be seen entering the creek on a steady basis. The loafing areas were barren and there were several sources of stream pollution due to lack of adequate vegetation and easy stream access by the cows. Ideally, a new lagoon should be desi-ried and constructed if the old lagoon is -inadequate. Also, a large portion of the creek ma,.,-needto be fenced out and buffer areas re -vegetated around the creel: to help control sources of runoff pollution. 585 Woughtown Street. Winston-Salem.

Personnel from this office visited the dairy on April 7, 1989; May 9, 1991; and July 102 1995 concerning reports of animal waste getting into the creek. Emptying waste from the lagoon should be incorporated into your farm's management plan so that at least 18 inches of freeboard is kept on a regular basis. This amount of freeboard will protect you from the 25 year-24 hour storm event which could cause an overflow if adequate lagoon storage is not available. Please be advised that the non -permitted discharge of any type of wastewater to the waters of the State is illegal as per North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1. Steps should be taken immediately to remedy the problems associated with animal waste runoff. If you have any questions about how to handle these problems, please contact the Surry Soil and Water Conservation District. You are requested to respond in writing to our Winston-Salem ResionaI Office on or before January 22. 1996 advising what corrective actions have been or ,A Il be initiated to prevent future illegal discharges from the waste lagoon.

De t. of E R r 10 00 insfio �-SalermRegi aQ##i The purpose of this letter is to summarize the findings of compliance inspections performed March 30 and April 3, 2000 at your dairy farm in Surry County. Melissa Rosebrock of the Division of Water Quality -Winston-Salem Regional Office performed the initial inspection as a result of an overflowing waste storage pond complaint received by our office. Greg Goings of the Natural Resource Conservation Service and Tony Davis of the Division of Soil and Water Conservation District also accompanied staff on the initial visit. The second inspection was a follow-up by Melissa Rosebrock and Jenny Rankin of this office. The investigations revealed the following' • At approximately 1:30 p.m. on March 30, 2000 the waste holding pond was overflowing at a rate up to two gallons per minute. The overflow carried solids for approximately ten feet then became mostly liquid as the solids settled out. The overflow was 165 feet from Silver Leaf Creek. • Past overflow was evident as standing wastewater was observed around the toe of the dam. Note that, at its closest point, the dam of the waste storage structure is only 63 feet from the creek. q02y ZS t+vt -A-per j , • Waste was stockpiled on the barn lot around the freestall barn as well as the lot behind the milking parlor. In both instances, the waste was piled so high that it had spilled over concrete berms into the pasture beside Silver Leaf Creek. • On March 30, two dead calves were also observed on the west side of the barn. Their carcasses appeared to have been there approximately one week. S65 WAUCHTOWN STREET, WINSTON•SALEM, NORTH CAROLINA 27107 PHONE 336-771-4600 FAX 336-771-4631 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY !

Both solid and liquid waste was still coming from the waste storage structure and flowing into the pasture beside the creek. • On April 3, 2000 waste solids were continuing to be stockpiled on the barn lots to a depth of at least three feet. Waste from the barn lots was observed to be coming down the embankment into the pasture beside the creek. • On both March 30 and April 4, a man-made diversion, at least 100 yards in length, conveyed the liquid waste alongside the creek to another field where it dissipated. • The two, calf carcasses were observed to still be lying near the fence on the west side of the barn on April 4, 2000 A review of our written files indicates several' years' worth of non-compliance, non- cooperation and unpermitted discharges of wastewater from the Radford Dairy into Silverleaf Creek in Surry County. It is our understanding that more than $2,500.00 is still owed for a Civil Penalty assessment in July 1997. Our files document at least four unpermitted discharges to Silverleaf Creek, at least four additional instances of an overflowing waste storage pond and numerous complaints received by our office regarding the reports of waste in the stream originating from the Radford Dairy Farm. This office has encouraged and given you ample opportunity to maintain adequate freeboard and to seek the assistance of the Surry County field office in dealing with these matters. A 1996 letter from you to the Winston-Salem Regional Office states your plans for keeping the waste storage pond pumped down, removing stockpiled solids, and for using the waste pond for only wash -down and lot run-off waters. Our files document the waste storage pond overtopping at least seven times since your letter. The Winston-Salem Regional Office considers this facility to be a continuing, immediate threat to the environment. As such, the Winston-Salem Regional Office is recommending that the Division seek enforcement against the Radford Dairy Farm. This request is based on the facility's lack of compliance and cooperation since 1988 and the most recent site visits conducted on March 30 and April 3, 2000 when the waste storage pond was observed to be overtopping again. Please be advised that the non -permitted discharge of any type of wastewater to the waters of the State is illegal as per North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and could subject you to civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day per violation. If you have justification that these violations were caused by circumstances beyond your control, you should include this with your written response within 14 days of receipt of this Notice. The Winston-Salem Regional Office will review your response and forward it to the Water Quality Section Chief for her review. 4 Radford Dairy Farm May 4, 2000 Page 3 If you have any questions regarding this Notice please contact Melissa Rosebrock or me at 336.771.4600.
