Ms. Sanchez -King
A flight was conducted Sunday, April 28th, 2019, at approximately 2pm. During the flight, a swine CAFO
located at coordinates (35.0957242,-78.1365382) was observed spraying waste onto a ponded
sprayfield. Reedy Branch, a tributary of Goshen Swamp, lay approximately 1500 feet North of the
saturated field. Attached are geotagged photos. Please feel free to contact with any questions.
All the best,
Patrick Connell
