Sent: Monday, June 05, 2017 11:41 AM To: Calloway, Leigh - NRCS, Yadkinville, NC; Rosebrock, Melissa Subject: Cole-Gaige expansion Hey Leigh, I am currently reviewing the expansion package for the Cole-Gaige farm. For this, we basically make sure that the animal numbers in the requested expansion match in all the documents (application, certification, and the nutrient management plan). The numbers requested for this expansion (as shown in the application and certification) are as follows: Milking-150, Dry-40, Heifers 1,140, and Calves 230 with a total of 1,56o animals. These numbers, however, do not appear to match with the nutrient management plan (NMP). The NMP accounts for 1,094 heifers and 420 calves. I was wondering if you could help explain this discrepancy. Please feel free to call me and we can sort this out together. Thanks.

I have contacted Nancy Keith with the NC Cooperative Extension and she is going to use the GPS maps that have been done on the farm since the initial waste management plan was done. The waste management plan will be corrected so that all fields on maps as well as acreage of all fields correlate with the plan. Soil samples will be taken in spring 2002 and labeled according to correlation along with field numbers that are in waste plan. If Southern States lab does not analyze for copper and zinc, the samples will be sent to NCDA Soil Testing Lab for analysis. The notice of violation also indicated that no commercial fertilizer had been recorded on waste records. If any commercial fertilizers is applied on fields which receive animal waste as well, the records will be transferred from the land leasee to the waste records. Land leasee has been contacted and no commercial fertilizer has been applied in last three years. I plan to immediately begin the process of issues noted in violation and hope to have resolved by January 30, 2002. Sincerely, Lester Miller cc Jackie Billings Nancy Keith ArFR Q CERTIFIED MAIL 7099 3400 0006 9313 7397 RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Mr. Lester Miller 1209 US Highway 21 Hamptonville, NC 27020 r SUBJECT: Notice of Violation Compliance Inspection Miller Brothers Farm, #99-05 }' Yadkin County Dear Mr. Miller: • Michael F. Easley, Governor William G. Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Gregory J. Thorpe, Ph.D. Acting Director Division of Water Quality Division of Water Quality November 14, 2001 On November 1, 2001 Melissa Rosebrock of the Division of Water Quality's Winston-Salem Regional Office performed a compliance inspection at the Miller Brothers Farm in Yadkin County. Mr. Jackie Billings, certified operator for the farm, was also present during the inspection. While most farm operations appeared to be in good order, Staff noted several animal waste recordkeeping violations and concerns that warrant your immediate attention. The following items should be addressed in your response: Z`Aw NCDENR Customer Service 1 800 858-0368 1. Most all crop fields and strips have been changed by the leasee (of the land) since the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) was originally completed. The CAWMP must be revised by the owner's technical specialist to match the new cropping system(s) and associated acres. This revised cropping information must also be made available to the leasee of the dairy farm so that he, as the certified.animal waste operator, may maintain accurate records regarding waste application rates and the plant available nitrogen (PAN) balance for each crop. This will entail extensive communication and cooperation between all parties involved in the animal waste handling operation: the leasee of the cropland, the leasee of the dairy operation, and owner. 2. We could not confirm that a soil analysis had been performed for any fields receiving animal waste since the 2001 soil samples obtained by Southern States were not identified in a manner that matched any of the fields in the CAWMP. Additionally, the analyses performed by Southern States did not analyze for copper and zinc. These analyses must be performed as well.

A review of the waste application records also revealed that applications of commercial fertilizer made to animal waste application fields had not been recorded. The amount and location of commercial fertilizer applied by the land leasee to all fields that receive animal waste must also be furnished to the animal waste operator. Note that failure to maintain adequate records as described above is a violation of NCGS 143- 215.1, the CAWW, and your deemed permit. Be advised that North Carolina General Statutes provide for penalties of up to $10,000 per day per violation as well as criminal penalties for violations of state environmental laws and regulations.
