Dear Ms. Howell:
Ms. Connie S. Wylie, representing the State of North Carolina, Division of Waste Management
Solid Waste Section, reviewed land application site logs (that were submitted for permit renewal)

noted:

accordance with 40 CFR Part 503.12(c). Per Permit Condition 7 the maximum annual
application rate shall be 50,000 gallons per acre per year. Upon review of the
land application site logs submitted for permit renewal it was noted that the annual
application rate for Field 1 was exceeded for the year of 2013.
B. 15A NCAC 13B .0838(a)(18) Approved nutrient management plans shall be followed.
This site shall be operated and maintained in accordance with the submitted nutrient
management plan per Permit Condition 2. Upon review of the land application site
logs submitted for permit renewal it was noted that the monthly application rates were
exceeded in November 2011 on Field 2, in November 2012 on Field 1, in December 2012
on Field 2 and in January 2013 on Field 1.
The above violations may have or can compromise the facility’s ability to ensure protection of
the public health and the environment and thus require remedial action on behalf of the facility
in order to maintain compliance with 15A NCAC 13B .0838(a)(18) & (b)(1). In order to resolve

possibly mistakes in record keeping, not exceeding the application rates had occurred

facility in order to come into or maintain compliance with the Statutes, Rules, and/or other
regulatory requirements applicable to this facility. Be advised that pursuant to N.C.G.S. 130A‐22,
an administrative penalty of up to $15,000 per day may be assessed for each violation of the Solid

enforcement actions including penalties, injunction from operation of a solid waste management
facility or a solid waste collection service and any such further relief as may be necessary to
