Subject: [External] Written Response Regarding N.O.V. for Covington Dairy
To Whom It May Concern:
We have addressed the many of the issues regarding the matter of the Notice of Violation against Covington Dairy Farm, Inc.
1. We have been pumping at a rapid pace with the dry weather recently before the hard freeze and snow, which I am fully
aware we are not allowed to spread during. We were able to lower the lagoon to below the "start pumping" mark. All land
covered has a Triticale/Cereal Rye, Crimson Clover, and Daikon Radish cover crop already planted on it.
2. Equipment seems to be in fair condition at this point in time to continue hauling as weather allows, and has been running
fairly decent.
3. A waste sample was delivered to Raleigh on 12/29/2017, and results have already been received, in which a copy was
forwarded recently to Melissa Rosebrock.
4. We plan on doing a better job in the future recording weekly waste pond levels.
5. Sand bags in the spillway to control runoff will be removed soon, as the ground is dry enough to get in there with equipment
and not make a mess, and reseeded. We've been concentrating on hauling more than the sandbags at this point, to continue to
try to lower the lagoon as much as possible.

` Understanding the Waste Report
Nutrient concentrations and other data on this report are provided so that waste materials can be applied at agronomic rates, thereby supplementing or reducing fertilizer
application and preventing environmental contamination. In reading the Laboratory Results section, remember that materials with < 15% dry matter (generally liquids) are
analyzed as received; all other wastes are dried first. Values in the Estimate of Nutrients Available for First Crop section are based on the type of waste and method of
application you specify and reflects the fact that only 40-60% of the nitrogen becomes available within one year of application. The remainder may or may not ever become
available.
ALE is Agricultural Lime Equivalence. The ALE

Michael,
We have received Covington Dairy Farm's email regarding the NOV dated December 12, 2017. Per my supervisor, Sherri V.
Knight, your email submittal may serve as an acceptable response method. Prior to your next compliance inspection, please
make sure that the items in the Notice have been addressed, especially the removal of the sandbags and re -seeding. You may
need to have the spillway re -surveyed to ensure that the elevation is still correct. Contact your tech specialist for assistance.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need assistance. Your recent effort to manage the waste level in the WSP is
greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Melissa
