It's a lot of hog wash
BY MARGARET FISHER
Staff Writer
A ruptured wastewater pipe at
Sandhill Hog Farm on Warren -
town Road caused this tributary
on Burrellfield Road to turn a
bright pink. The pipe burst some-
time before 7 a.m. on Sunday, said
the farm's owner, Pat Harris. The
pipe was repaired on Monday. The
extent of sewage from the hog la-
goon was minimal as noted by the
fact that the sewage remained close
to the farrn. It did not spread near
any houses, said Marlene Salyer,
environmental specialist with .the
N.C, Department of Environmen-
tal and Natural Resources.
"Believe it or not, we actually
like to see the pink. It actually
shows that the bacteria is working
to break down the solids," Salyer
said.
The spill doesn't pose an imme-
diate threat to wildlife, although
she couldn't say w1 ether it would
cause a risk of infection to animals.
The department will continue to
monitor samples taken from the
water and Harris may have to
pump the sewage back into the la-
goon or spray field, Salyer said.

2. Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred
or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment
document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a
request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a
stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed
statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to
the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission
request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b)
were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the violator;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator has been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and inform
you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details
regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for fiirther appeal of the penalty
to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions
(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part
of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that
you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for
Remission of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of
Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also
requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both
forms should be submitted to the following address:

1636 M" Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1636
OR
3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings:
If you wish to contest any statement in the attached assessment document you must file a petition
for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of
Administrative Hearings. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received

} FINDINGS AND DECISION
} AND ASSESSMENT OF
} CIVIL PENALTIES
Acting pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I,
Theodore L. Bush, Jr., Chief of the Aquifer Protection Section, of the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) make the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. Franklin P. Harris owns and operates Sandhill Sow Farm, a permittedlcertified swine animal
feeding operation in Greene County.
B. Franklin P. Harris was issued Certificate of Coverage AWS400068 under NC General Permit
AWG100000 for Sandhill Sow Farm on July 1, 2007 effective upon issuance, with an
expiration date of September 30, 2009.
C. Condition No. I. 1. of the "Performance Standard" of the General Permit states in part that
"Any discharge of waste which reaches surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as
otherwise provided in this General Permit and associated statutory and regulatory- provisions.
Waste shall not reach surface waters or wetlands by runoff, drift manmade conveyance, direct
application, and direct discharge or through ditches not otherwise classified as State waters."
D. On July 29, 2007 a spill of lagoon waste water happened at the Sandhill Sow Farm in Greene
County. A rupture occurred in a flush line that flushed two hog houses on this facility. This
happened sometime during the night hours when no one was on site to observe this spill. An
unknown amount of waste water ran into Reedy Branch; however it was estimated to be more
than 1,000 gallons.

E. Franklin P. Harris does not have a permit for the above described activities.
F. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $820.00
Based upon the above Findings of Facts, I make the following:
11. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
A. Franklin P. Harris is a "person" within the meaning of G. S. 143-215.6A pursuant to G. S.
143-212(4).
B. The affected Reedy Branch constitutes waters of the State within the meaning of G.S. 143-
215.1 pursuant to G.S. 143-212(6).
C. The above -cited discharge to waters of the State violated Condition No. I. 1. of the General
NPDES Permit,
D. Mr. Franklin P. Harris may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G. S. 143-
215.6A(a)(2), which provides that a civil penalty of not more that twenty-five thousand
dollars ($25,000.00) per violation may be assessed against a person who is required but fails

Section 11: Findings
1. Case Narrative: A report of a discharge was called in on July 30, 2007 at 6:55 AM by Mr. Pat
Harris, owner of the Sandbill Sow Farm. Mr. Harris reported that a spill had occurred from a
break in the flush lines between two hog houses and had flowed over land by the natural drainage
way to the woods and into Reedy Branch. The WaRO DWO staff conducted an onsite
investigation on July 30, 2007 and found an undetermined amount of wastewater had indeed
reached the Reedy Branch somewhere between 7PM Saturday and 7AM Sunday morning July 29,
2007. The freeboard level was observed at 45 inches by DW0 staff on July 30, 2007.
2. Farm and/or company compliance History; Mr. Harris is an excellent operator; however in
February 2003 there was runoff from the prayfield (during an irrigation event on small grain
overseed)into Reedy Branch.
Amount of Waste discharged (if applicable). It is estimated that more than 1,000 gallons reached
the stream but the exact amount is unknown.

Violator's degree of cooperation (including efforts to prevent or restore) recalcitrance: Mr. Harris
has been very cooperative to work with. He immediatelv nut a dam in six different areas to stop
the flow of wastewater from his farm into the nearby stream. He used 2 small submersible pumps
for about 3 hours at the site of the spill to pump all the contained waste water (within the dammed
area holding wastewater in the swell at the site) back into the lagoon. He later stopped the flow
of water from Reedy Branch at his property line to ensure that no more waste water left the farm.
The next day he began pumping the waste water (from the stream) that had pooled in an area that
was accessible from SR1151, He pumped and hauled back to the Iagoon a total of 65,600 gallons
at a cost of S2.888.00. He replaced the ruptured ABS nine with 200psi_class p c pipe (cost of
$_3_ ,686.21) and installed a time clock on the flush pumps at a cost of $426.90. He worked
tirelessly for 3 days all the while keeping DWQ informed.
6. Damage? YIN If yes, include report from WRC: No Surface water quality impaired from spill)
7. Mitigating Circumstances: A 6-inch pipe that feeds the flush tanks to buildings 1 and 2 ruptured.
This rupture occurred sometime during the hours of 7PM and 7AM. while no one is on site at the
facility,
8. Recommendations made to the owner/operator: It was recommended that the stream be damned
up at the end of his property to prevent further advancement of wastewater and that the waste
water that was visible at the stream crossing of SR 1151 and 1149 be pumped back into the

lagoon. Mr. Harris was also advised that timers on his flush system would be a benefit so that it
would not be operating when no one was on site. Mr. Harris did this immediately.
9. Costs to the State for the enforcement procedures (Show Breakdown):
Total Staff Time $ 160.00

Section TH; Assessment Factors required to be considered by G.S. 143B 282:1(b)
The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation: Animal waste has the potential to deplete
dissolved oxygen in the affected water body to a point which is harmful to aquatic life.
Wastewater also contains nutrients, which have the potential to spawn algal growth to the
point which is harmful to aquatic life. Wastewater runoff occurred from the facility site into
Reedy Branch.
2. The duration and gravity of the violation: The runoff is the result of a spill that occurred
from a break in the flush lines between two hoe houses and had flowed over land by the
natural drainage way to the branch that runs in the woods behind the hoe houses. It was
unsure at to the time that the break in the line happened, but it was discovered shortly after
7AM on July 29, 2007.

4. The cost of rectifying the damage: Mr. Harris pumped and hauled back to the lagoon a total
of 65,600 aaIlons at a cost of $2,888.00. He replaced the ruptured.ABS hive with 200psi
class pvc pipe (cost of $3,686,21) and installed a time clock on the flush pumps at a cost of
$426.90. This was a total expenditure of $7001.11 which did not include his time lost from
other farm projects, etc.
5. The amount of money saved by noncompliance: Money is saved when better management
skills are implemented to improve overall management of the facility, environmentally and
productively,
6. Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentional: NO This was clearly an
accidental break in the flush lines that was neither willful nor intentional and became quite an
expensive rcpair for Mr. Harris.

Re: Explanation of Violation _� } U;
Sandhill Sow Farm S, 1
Facility # 40-68
From: Franklin P. Harris
Dear Mr. May,
The following information is to provide you with an explanation of the violation that
occurred on July 29, 2007 at approximately 7:00am on the Sandhill Sow Farm located in
Snow Hill, NC. Waste water was discovered by the assistant manager on the above said
Sunday morning, flowing out of the ground around 100 ft. from the pump between houses
1 and 2. He immediately shut the pump off and dirt was put in the swell that drains surface
water away. The water that was contained was pumped back into the lagoon. Mrs. Salyer
was notified at 6:55am Monday morning, July 30, 2007 of the discharge. Some water ran
off into a branch located behind the farm. The branch was damned up at the end of my
property and pumped onto the spray field. Run-off water reached the branch on Burrellfield
Road on Monday also.The waste water was pumped into a 3,200 gal. tank(4 loads) and
transported back to the lagoon at a cost of $850.00.The branch was pumped dry at the
highway tile. The following day(Aug. 2) 8 1/2 loads (3,200 gal./load) were pumped at the
highway the and transported back to the lagoon($1,050.00). Wednesday, August 3, 2007
1 pumped 8 loads at $988.00 just to be sure all waste water was out of the branch -
I discovered the waste run -off was due to an underground flush pipe that had ruptured. A
split in the pipe was discovered after digging the pipe up. This 6 inch pipe feeds the flush
tanks to buildings 1 and 2. The pipe has been underground since 1994 and was buried 3
feet underground. Reason for the rupture is unknown at this time. On Thursday prior to the
waste run-off a company was on the farm cleaning the flush lines to remove salt buildup -
They used clean -air breakthrew in the lines and flushed everything the next day. The
company also added another pump for this line. This pump supplies 2 houses and the
original pump supplies the other 2 houses. There should have been no pressure on these
lines. Could this company have done something to cause this rupture?
On August 6, 2007 the pipe was repaired and a time clock was installed on the pumps at a
cost of $426.90 to insure pumps would not run during the night when workers are not on the
farm. On August 22, 2007 1 decided to replace the ABS pipe with 200psi class pvc pipe.
Everything was replaced from pump to the flush tanks including fittings and valves at a cost
of $3,686.21. 1 would so much appreciate your understanding that this was not an owner -
operator error or a result of negligence of the management on the farm. Underground pipe
cannot be seen with the eye and therefore we could not have prevented this accident. As a
result of the run-off I did everything possible to clean up the spill. Thank you for considering
this as you make a decision for action necessary.
Sincerely,
4 r

On Sunday morning July 29, 2007 at 7:00 am wastewater
was discovered flowing out of the ground between
houses 1 & 2 at Sandhill Hog Farm, Inc. The pump was
shut down immediately and dirt was placed across the
surface water drainage burm. Damned water was
pumped back into the lagoon. An underground pipe had
ruptured causing the flow of wastewater. Repairs are
being made to the pipe and time clocks are being
installed on the flush pumps to shut down at night and on
the weekends when personel are not on the farm. The
reason the pipe split 3 feet underground is unknown at
this time.

Re: Explanation of Violation _
Sandhill Sow Farm "
Facility # 40-68
From: Franklin P_ Hams -1
Dear Mr. May,
The following information is to provide you with an explanation of the violation that
occurred on July 29, 2007 at approximately 7:00am on the Sandhill Sow Farm located in
Snow Hill, NC. Waste water was discovered by the assistant manager on the above said
Sunday morning, flowing out of the ground around 100 ft from the pump between houses
1 and 2. He immediately shut the pump off and dirt was put in the swell that drains surface
water away. The water that was contained was pumped back into the lagoon. Mrs. Salyer
was notified at 6:55am Monday morning, July 30, 2007 of the discharge. Some water ran,
off into a branch located behind the farm. The branch was damned up at the end of my
property and pumped onto the spray field. Run-off water reached the branch on Burrellf fait
Road on Monday also.The waste water was pumped into a 3,200 gal. tank(4 loads) and
transported back to the lagoon at a cost of $850.007he branch was pumped dry at the
highway tile. The following day(Aug. 2) 8 1 /2 loads (3,200 gal./load) were pumped at the
highway tile and transported back to the lagoon($1,050.00). Wednesday, August 3, 2007
1 pumped 8 loads at $988.00 just to be sure all waste water was out of the branch.
I discovered the waste run -off was due to an underground flush pipe that had ruptured. A
split in the pipe was discovered after digging the pipe up. This 6 inch pipe feeds the flush
tanks to buildings 1 and 2. The pipe has been underground since 1994 and was buried 3
feet underground. Reason for the rupture is unknown at this time. On Thursday prior to the
waste run-off a company was on the farm cleaning the flush lines to remove salt buildup.
They used dean -air breakthrew in the lines and flushed everything the next day. The
company also added another pump for this line. This pump supplies 2 houses and the
original pump supplies the other 2 houses. There should have been no pressure on these
lines. Could this company have done something to cause this rupture?
On August 6, 2007 the pipe was repaired and a time clock was installed on the pumps at a
cost of $426.90 to insure pumps would not run during the night when workers are no: o-.:-ie
farm. On August 22, 2007 I decided to replace the ABS pipe with 200psi class pvc pia .
Everything was replaced from pump to the flush tanks including fittings and valves at a ccs_
of $3,686.21. 1 would so much appreciate your understanding that this was not an owner -
operator error or a result of negligence of the mmnagement on the farm. Underground pipe
cannot be seen with the eye and therefore we could not have prevented this accident As a
result of the run-off i did everything possible to dean up the spill. Thank you for considering
this as you make a decision for action necessary.
Sincerely,
Franklin P. Harris

Dear Mr. Harris:
This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessed against Mr. Pat Harris in the
amount of $4,779.96, including $779.96 in enforcement costs.
Attached is a copy of the assessment document explaining this penalty. This action was
taken under the authority vested in me pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Any continuing violation(s) may be the
subject of a new enforcement action, including an additional penalty.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment

justification for such request.
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the
reasonableness of the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for

such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute_ You
must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and
a detailed statement which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1(b)
were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting
from the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;

G. S. 143-215.l(a)(1), for which a permit is required by G. S. 143-215.1.
E. Mr. Pat Harris may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G. S. 143-
215.6A(a)(2), which provides that a civil penalty of not more that twenty-five thousand
dollars ($25,000.00) per violation may be assessed against a person who is required but fails
to apply for or to secure a permit required by G. S. 143-215.1.

Section R: Findings
1. Case Narrative: DWO-WaRO received numerous citizen reoorts of a Pink slurry/animal wastewater
discharge in Reedy Branch between 8:30 am - 9:00 am on 2/4/2003. W. Pat Harris reported the
discharge to DWO-WaRO via phone (a. 9:11 am. 2/4/2003. The site investigation revealed that Mr.
Harris irrigated on 2/3/2003 from 4700 PM to 6:30 PM in field'4.3 (7.03 acres)_ on a small grain
overseed- pasture (PAN-235)_ Runofffrom this sprayfield entered Reedy Branch in two locations.
Reedv Branch is in the Neese River Basin. Mr. Harris has tried to irrigate when it would not bother
the neighbors. However due to this event he was advised to not irrigate late in the aftemoon/evening
to ensure that he could review all perimeters of the spray field for my Rrobiems. Mr. Harris was
firrther advised to check all of his hydrants. specifically theme at the base of the grassed waterway
where the wastewater runoffthe field to ensure that there are no cracks- etc. in the Ping. He was
asked to consult with his Technical Specialist for further assistance regarding the irtrRact that cattle
have on his fields (pasture) and bow frequently sub -soiling should occur. Hydraulic overload was
noted due to the discharge to Waters of the State.
2. Farm and/or company compliance History: On 2-11-1998 (due to anonymous call to WaRO), a
discharge was observed as a result of over application. Animal waste did not reach surface waters,
however waste was collected within a roadside ditch_ estimated at least 1.000 gallons in the roadside
ditch. The lagoon had inadeouate freeboard of 12". and Mr. Harris failed to notifv DWO of his
freeboard less than required structural & storm freeboard. He irrigated during a rainfall event
3. Amount of Waste discharged (if applicable). If amount cannot be estimated, what is the estimated
rate of flow reaching surface waters: Unable to determine amount of wastewater discharged into
Reedy Branch. However. the irrigation equipment puts out 375 gallons Per minute and the irrigation
reel operated for 150 minutes. It is estimated that appro)q�mately 56.250 gallons of wastewater was
land armhed onto 7703 acres. Reedv Branch is in the Neese River Basin

Section ID Assessment Factors required to be considered by G.S. 143B-282.1(b):
1. The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources ofthe State; to the public health, or to private
property resulting from the violation: Animal waste has the potential to deplete dissolved oxygen in
the affected water body to a point which is harmful to aquatic life. Waste water also contains
nutrients which have the potential to spawn ales] growth to thepoirn which is harmful to aquatic life
Wastewater runofffrom this spray field entered Reedy Branch in two locations. Reedy Branch is in
the Neuse River Basin.
2. The duration and gravity ofthe violation: The discharge is the result of land anplving waste onto soil
where the moisture was either at or above field capacity. Unable to determine amount of wastewater
disc]rarged into Reedy Branch. However, the irrigation equipment outs out 375 IZABOns per minute
and the irrigation reel operated for 150 minutes. It is estimated that approximately 56,250 gallons of
wastewater was land applied onto 7:03 acres. Reedy Branch is in the Neuse River Basin
3. The effect on ground or surface quantity or quality: Sarrmles were collected upstream from the
facility_ at the point of discharge and downstream. The results are illustrated in the following table:

4. The cost of rectifying the damage: The owner could better prepare for the winter months by lower the
lagoon level via land application agronomically to the bottom ofthe temporwv storage zone and
improve manaoement ofthe amount of waste production from each house by monitormg the water
usage and the amount of water used to clean out the houses between groups of animal.
The amount of money save by noncompliance: Money is saved when better management skills are
not implemented to improve overall management ofthe facility. environmentally and productively.
6. Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentional: No. Mr. Harris notified DWO and
began aerating the sorav field to stop the runoff from the spray field.

observed as a result of over application. Animal waste did not reach surface waters however waste
was collected within a roadside ditch. estimated at least 1,000 gallons in the roadside ditch. The

Re: Response to Notice of Enforcement
Harris Sandhill Sow
Facility Number 40-68
Greene County
Dear Mr. Mulligan,
FEB 1 J 2003
This letter is to explain the circumstances surrounding the run-off on
my sow farm. Late afternoon February 3, 2003, 1 decided to pump for a few
hours due to good weather conditions. The following morning I returned to the
farm and discovered there was a pink colored water in the branch adjoining
the spray field. 1 immediately called DWQ to report the incident. I was unable
to speak with Lyn or Daphne but left a message referring to the mishap. 1 then
began to subsoil around the perimeter of the spray field to keep any remaining
water from running off. I sub -soiled the entire farm at this time. Generally we
subsoil in February and August to prevent runoff from occurring. The main
reason for sub -soiling is to keep the soil from compacting due to cattle grazing
in this spray field. I have discussed this with a technical specialist that
recommends we sub -soil two to three times a year. This should eliminate soil
compaction in the future.
1 sincerely apologize for this incident and will monitor spraying activity more
closely. I strive to be a good steward of the land, the environment and my
neighbors at all times. I try to spray when there is a south southwest wind to
eliminate the smell being carried to my surrounding neighbors.
Sincerely,
Franklin P. Harris

and Reporting Requirements, item number 3 of the General Permit it is a requirement that a soil analysis be collected
annually on each application field receiving animal waste. Further, Section 11. Operation and Maintenance Requiremersts,
item number 3 requires that lime be applied, as needed, to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production. This
information is received from your annual soil analysis_
It is very important as the owner and the Operator in Charge that you resolve these aforementioned deficiencies and any other
problems that may arise, as soon as possible. Nothing in this letter should be taken as absolving this facility of the
responsibility and liability of any violations that have resulted or may result from these deficiencies.

Dear Mr. Harris Sandhill Sow Farm:
You were notified by letter dated November 12, 1996, that you were required to designate a
certified animal waste management system operator as Operator in Charge for the subject facility by
January 1, 1997. Enclosed with that letter was an Operator in Charge Designation Form for your
facility. Our records indicate that this completed Form has not yet been returned to our office.
For your convenience we are sending you another Operator in Charge Designation Form for your
facility. Please return this completed Form to this office as soon as possible but in no case later
than April 25, 1997. This office maintains a list of certified operators in your area if you need
assistance in locating a certified operator.
Please note that failure to designate an Operator in Charge of your animal waste management
system, is a violation of N.C.G.S. 90A-47.2 and you will be assessed a civil penalty unless an
appropriately certified operator is designated. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be
taken as absolving you of the responsibility and liability for any past or future violations for your
failure to designate an appropriate Operator in Charge by January 1, 1997.
If you have questions concerning this matter, please contact our Technical Assistance and
