Mike,
It was a pleasure meeting with you earlier today. This meeting was in reference to a letter we received in the mail from the
NC Water Resources Environmental Quality on November 7, 2016 dated October 28, 2016. The letter references an
inspection to 955 Dellaplane Rd, Roaring River NC on August 15, 2016 adjacent to Bowman Farms, LLC (BF). It references:
POTENTIAL VIOLATION
Land Parcel#0100032
Bowman Farms, LLC
7779 OLD HWY 60
Roaring River, NC 28669
Per the recommendations within the letter we met this morning to discuss options for best practice management, Tuesday,
November 8 at 8:25a.m. at the western most entrance to our farm that runs adjacent to the property in question. Upon
review you were able to observe BF had substantial best practices management administered already such as:
Several sediment basins set up
o Reinforced with heavy railroad style rock
Biomass walls of stumps built to reinforce the sediment basins
Planted fields with Fescue and Millet
Recommendations for BF:
• The fescue and Millets planted and growing, but due to dry weather, the growth in some areas is sparse near
drainage areas.
o BF will plant Rye (two bushels an acre)
• 50-60 pounds of fescue mixed
• We will drill this in the open areas
• Sloping areas with no grass growing needs to be planted.
o BF bought a Hydroseeder today and will spray all sloping areas with rye/lime pellets/slurry
• We will clean out and reshape sediment basins and Hydroseed them and roll out EC3 matting around them
• On approaching slopes that show wear from water we will flatten/plant/Mat those areas
• On several areas that water has broken through berms we will fix berms and set up silt fences
o Southern most gully
o Northern most gully
• Silt fences around newly cleared fields and any sloping area that could have sediment run off
The work will be performed between the dates of November 9-18. We will take before and after pictures and document the
process to ensure we are addressing all areas of possible sediment run off. We also have two Sediment Control Companies
coming out to consult and possibly assist in our project.
We appreciate your quick response and your help in this matter. I will contact you soon to take a look at our progress and get
your opinion on the best practice management we are administering. Please let us know if we can be of further help in this
matter.

Respectfully,
Philip Bowman

Dear Mr/Mrs Shew Sr.:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your request that your facility no longer be registered as an animal waste
management system per the terms of 15A NCAC 2H .0217. The information you provided us indicated that your operation's
animal population does not exceed the humber set forth by 15A NCAC 2H .0217, and therefore does not require registration
or a certified animal waste management plan.
Under 15A NCAC 2H 0217, your facility is deemed permitted if waste if properly managed and does not :each tac
surface waters of the state. Any system determined to have an adverse impact on water quality may be required to obtain a
waste management plan or an individual permit. You are reminded that a discharge of wastes to the surface waters of the state
will subject you to -a civil penalty up to $10,000-per day.
Should you decide to increase the number of animals housed at your facility beyond the threshold limits listed below,
you will be required to obtain a certified animal waste management plan prior to stocking animals to that level. Threshold
numbers of animals which require certified animal waste management plans are as follows:
Swine 250
Confined Cattle 100 -
Horses 75
Sheep 1,000
Poultry 30,000
If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sue Homewood of our staff at
[phone] ext 502.
Sincerely,
A. Preston Howard, Jr., P.E.
