Investigation began onsite at 01:35 pm, 04/04/2018. DWR staff met with Mr. Mark Snider and discussed the complaint. Mr. Snider
was aware of an issue as he has been having to dump all of his milk due to a broken pump. In -ground, open concrete tank was
overflowing, DWR staff could not see top of tank. Traced overflow offsite and towards nearby stream. Waste was not flowing into
stream on day of inspection, but there was evidence that the flow had been going on for some time and would flow into stream
during rain events. DWR staff did note a very well maintained vegetative buffer to the stream. Majority of cow waste is dry stacked
and did not appear to be running off. Mr. Snider admitted he had not had the tanks pumped down for some time. DWR staff
suggested keeping tanks pumped down and enhancing a berm at the fenceline to contain washdown onsite. Facility is currently
milking about 20 cows, Mr. Snider plans to move cows from this facility within the next year.
