RE: Notice of Violation (#94-24)

Dear Mr. Mulligan,
This letter is in response to your letter of 12-29-2000, reference above.

JAN 16 2001
After reviewing with Rufus Croom, Washington County NRCS Technical Specialist and
Teron Sloan, Livestock Unit Manager, Tidewater Research Station, it was concluded that
the violation cited in your letter was due to record kee in ,rot over aooiication. d
Based on our field identification used by Eason Lilley, our CWO, one could easily
conclude that over application did exist. Lyn Hardison cited violations in both field J1
and J3. The fact was that if over application occurred, that it only occurred in Field J1.
The application recorded was in sub -field J-1-3, which was recorded as J3. Field J1
receives multiple settings in order to apply swine waste and has field sub -divisions.
How then do we plan to prevent this occurring in the future? Fields J1 and J2 which
uses the solid set system and has to be irrigated at separate times will be numbered and
sub -divided such that each irrigation set is easily identified as will be each pumping.
Enclosed is a copy of our system layout for Fields J1 and J2 and the new numbering
system to be used for identifying and recording pumping.

November 7, 2002
Subject: Notice of Violation and Revocation for Nonpayment
Tidewater Research Station
Permit Number: AWC940021
Washington County
In accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.10G, all animal operations who receive an animal
waste management system permit will be charged in each year of the term an annual permit fee. Annual permit fees are
billed following the issuance of the permit and then annually thereafter on the anniversary of that date. Your animal waste
management system permit was issued on 8/31/2001.
Your annual permit fee for the period of 8/31/2002 - 8/30/2003 is $50.00. Your payment was due 10/I2/2002.
Because this fee was not fully paid within 30 days after being billed, this letter initiates action to revoke the subject permit,
pursuant to 15 NCAC 2H .0205 (c) (4). and G.S. 143-215.1 (b) (3).
Effective 60 days from receipt of this notice, the subject permit is hereby revoked unless the required Annual
Animal Waste Management System Permit fee for your animal operation is received within that time. Operation of an
animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and is
subject to the assessment of a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day. Your payment should be sent to:
N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Division of Water Quality
