Swine Facility Registration No. 82-207 Dear Mr. McLamb: Sampson County On September 17, 1998, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality inspected the J.M. swine facility. It was observed that a copy of the most recent certified animal waste plan (CAWIVIP) for the feeder to finish operation identified 3700 head while the DWQ list only identified 1500 head, however, this discrepancy was corrected subsequent to the inspection with the DWQ Raleigh Office. In addition, the waterway in field # 6 needs a suitable grass established and the waste samples need to be collected more frequently. In regard to the deficiencies noted during the inspection, the following actions are requested: 1. Consult with a technical specialist for assistance in regard to the establishment of the bermuda grass in field # 6 on the side slopes and the waterway to prevent runoff. 2. Begin collecting waste samples within 60 days of waste application for accurate recordkeeping. 225 GREEN STREET, SUITE 714, FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 28301-5043 PHONE 910-486-1541 FAX 910-486-0707 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER - 50% RECYCLED/10% POST -CONSUMER PAPER Mr. McLamb Page 2 September 18, 1998 ` Please notify this office on or before October 20, 1998 at the address below as to the actions taken or proposed to be taken to resolve this deficiency.

Klimek, P. E., Director Division of Water Quality May 1, 2003 Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWS820207 J.M. Farm Swine Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and Application System Sampson County On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the expiration date to October 1, 2004_ During the period of this extension the Division will be working with all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit. In accordance with your application received on March 21, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to McLamb Corporation, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS820207 which expired on April 30, 2003. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the J.M. Farm, located in Sampson County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 3700 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant -to -this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Pian is inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed. The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where.the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan useq nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be 'analyzed before each application cycle. -Annual -soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste basp-d on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have"different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. 1 Page: 1 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 5. ;. Wind. conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and ''downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and .to reduce the potential for pollution,` the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting'the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce.odor problems. ' This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain' pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 3700 hogs'x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 7030 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 3700 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 8510 lbs. PAN/year Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable tq be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 1369 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. ' i If you remove the sludge -every 5 years, you will have approximately 6845 pounds of PAN to'utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 22.8166666667 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 54.76 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture cgntent, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and Page: 6 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. rf i The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts. l Tract I i Field l Soil Type 4615 13 I l (inches) NoB l 0.50 l NOB 4715 12 l I 4715 � 4 I l I *0.96 WaB I 4715 I 6 l i BP BOB.

Farm 82-207 Sampson County Dear Mr. McLamb: You are hereby notified that, having been deemed permitted to have a nondischarge permit for the subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217, you have been found to be in violation of your 2H .0217 Permit. On September 3, 1996 staff from the Division of Water Quality performed an inspection of your farm located off SR1946. The inspection revealed that waste was being sprayed on the field adjacent to SR1946 in an extremely poor manner as no significant cover crop was present and it was also raining during the application event. However, no waste was observed leaving the field during the investigation. Further inspection also revealed that animal waste was discharging from a malfunctioning flush pit and entering the waters of the State. Animal waste was observed flowing from the flush pit to a nearby ditch and then into an unnamed tributary to Sbade Branch which are Class "C -SW" waters of the State. In addition, during a follow-up inspection on September 26, 1996 waste was observed entering the aforementioned ditch again via two sprinkler heads which_ were spraying waste directly into the ditch. This discharge also entered into the same P.O.

Sunset Avenue Clinton, NC 28328 Subject: Notice of Violation Notice of Intent to Revoke Deemed Permit J.M. Farm 82-207 Sampson County Dear Mr. McLamb: You are hereby notified that, having been deemed permitted to have a nondischarge permit for the subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217, you have been found to be in violation of your 2H .0217 Permit. On September 3, 1996 staff from the Division of Water Quality performed an inspection of your farm located off SR1946. The inspection revealed that waste was being sprayed on the field adjacent to SRI 946 in an extremely poor manner as no significant cover crop was present and it was also raining during the application event. However, no waste was observed leaving the field during the investigation. Further inspection also revealed that animal waste was discharging from a malfunctioning flush pit and entering the waters of the State. Animal waste was observed flowing from the flush pit to a nearby ditch and then into an unnamed tributary to Shade Branch which are Class "C -SW" waters of the State. In addition, during a follow-up inspection on. September*26, 1996 waste was observed entering the aforementioned ditch again via two sprinkler heads which were spraying waste directly into the ditch. This discharge also entered into the same Wachovia Bullding, Suite 714.

Length of time animals have been, are, or will be stabled, or confined and fed or maintained in any 12 month period_ Twelve (i)months- 16. Are crops, pasture, or post harvest residues sustained in the normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility? The farm was registered for 50 acros available for the Ind a ggion of waste. At the time of. the investig@dons—it was observed that the yM tetative growth on the upper Vgy field consisted mostly of weeds mined in with some coastal lzermuda. The lower spray fields had a more significant stand of coastal-bermuda but also had problems with weeds present in the fields. It also appeared that these VRy field aooges did not total 50 acres as the registration indicates. After reviewing a property man of the site, it is estimated that only 30-40 acres are available for waste VI kation. Based on calculations of waste production from a 2900 head farrow to finish opera9on_ this land is insufficient to uptake the generated PAN. It was observed that on the 9126196 inspec gA the bernwda grass had been cut and bailed which left the smv fields with no viable cover crop for the winter months, It is not known at this time if a winter cover _c_ p will be established at a later dat IT Type of Waste Management System: Swine are kept i in total confinement free stall hams with slotted floors over flushing pits. Waste is flushed M needed from fioar pits mto waste la&oon system. The lagan em is gMMsed of two 2 Dons from which waste can tQ a solid set irri 'on and Upyed on the fields via sOrinlder heads. 18. Description of other animal operations in immediate vicinity and proximity to same or other surfaoe waters: It was noted that the TRIAD Munp_hy's Comps Far m was approximately 1 mile North of the McLambFamL The TRIAD_ farm lies waste on fields east of SR1946 and this area is not in 'mediate AndM to M surface waters. 19.

YES If so, how? On the initial ' an n 9/3/96 it was observed that waste land bed a prec'pggdon event._ Inspection ofthe lagoons revealed -that aft ate freeboard was available and land application was not immediately necessary, Qpon further investigam m waste was observed to discharge from an im_properfy function% flush to a field ditch. This ditch is an unnamed tnb of Shade Branch and is an interrrrittent Blue Line Stream on a USGS Togo Map. Also on the date of this inspection. waste was visually traced by DWQ staff to a wetland area. During the second inspection on 9/26/96, waste was observed being land applied on the lower spray field in such a manner that it was being direct! Discharged into the previously mentioned ditch. Waste was visually traced by &Mona] DWO staff and it was confirmed that high concentrations of waste were again entering the adacent wetland area and dmining into Shade Branch attached photog=hs and USGS j= Ma 24. Do or have discharges oc nTed in response to a storm event less severe than the 25 -year, 24 hour stonm? YES, dgft both myestismgmjWpoon levels were adequateand waste was being land applied so as to discharge to wr_fmce waters. Under neither cmnnstarnce had their been a 25 year, 24 hour storm recently. 25. What is the degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to public health, or to private property resulting from the violation?: The discharge hacm tsed the introduction of nutrients into the receiving stream: that w>ii cause or add to thepossiMity of algal bboms and accelerated eutrophication of the slow moving _waters of the receiving_,stream. Also, samples taken indicate elevated fecal coliform levels down stream of the &cft. Sample resuhs: Sample Location (9!3196) 1. Exiting House-DY96WE95057 2. Ditch PiMH)#96WE95058 3.

What is the duration and gravity of the violation?- Based on comments from farm staff; the improoerfv fimsct pmg flush pit observed d whar;¢ing on 9/3/96 was disclsar72inQ at least 24 hours orior to the arrival of DWO stoff_The problem most likgjy continued for a minimum of 24 hours after the in on of 9/3196. Farm staff also mentioned that the pipe draining the flush pit was clogged at that time. It was also observed that a 6 inch PVC pipe (see attached photogiaahs) had been pfaced in the field ditch and, was channelling the waste from the flush_ mit. At this time it is not known what the purpose of this ping was, although it mU be in place to help drainstormwater fi om tha into the ditch. The discharge observed on 926196 was estimated to have been occurring for a minimum of 2 to 3 hours based on the condition ofthe_MM field 27- Water Quality Assessment: At the time of both inspections waste was observed to comprise of at_least 75% of the total flow of the field ditch. During the second inWpq ion it was estimated that waste comprised� apprnxi;na#ely 1% of the flow into Shade Branch. 28. What is the cost of rectifying the damage?: The writer observed no areas that cleanup activities would be recommended. Any c� p would cause adverse impacts to nmft wetlands. 11wre has been no report of downstream impacts outside the area of the 'investigation. 29. What is the amount of money saved by noncompliance?: Based on observations made dUdU the investigatiom no cost was significantly decreased by Wbinnl g the waste under improper conditions. 30. Was the violation committed willfully or intentionally?: YES— NO X Explain: Although it is obvious that the irrigation ent pMors should have been more careful in how rtu►dt where, and when the waste was being a=Iied on 926196, it does not Mgar that then intended for the waste to reach surface waters. The discharge on 9/3/96 also seems to be more of a case of neglit—amand lack of marntenence. 31. What is the prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority?: ftional files contained no pg1jous. vi o for this farm. 32. What is the cost to the State for the enforcement procedures?: Regional Costs are as follows: Photo, film and developing: $10.00 Mileage: $0-20 per mile for 180 miles: $36.00 Fecal Coliform (522.00 per sample) * 7: $154.00 COD Analysis ($24.75 per sample) * 0: $00.00 BOD Analysis ($33.00 per sample) " 6: $198.00 Copies (Sampson County Court House) $0.50 Ed Buchan Cad S18.64/hr 4 hours - Drive Tone 5 hours - investigation 8 hours - Report Development 17 hours total $316.88 Sue Homewood @ 18.30/fw 2 hours - Investigation 8 hours - Report Development 10 hours total $183.00 Michael Wicker P.E.

Other Comments: It is the opinion of the writer that the flush pit system needs to be thorouft examined and measures sho �d be taken iz order to prevent further dischmes<from this system. Such measures may include abar screen in front of X11 drain pipes and upgrading undersized drain pipes. The six inch PVC pipe should be removed frorn the field ditch. In addition a winter cam =2 needs to be estab&shed immediately and buffers should be eg"shed alanM, the field ditch The casrrent sprinkler angafi_on_ system should also be Lnoved so as to not directly discharge into the field ditch Ii matibe necessary to clear and establish more a for land applir son in order to continue operation at the current swine nomdation. wS � � p-; ,�..r, .•a,+� 'G k �_•�•;'�"' =',�j�.�+�iii9�.in�.L_,� s., iP.4y.. i�•ii'' Y!� `,�".s.ae !s!F� �� ":4, �'� . ���� .e w����r�!�jr�,�y��..•t4,•.. ��a .�`-` � rr y�r� ~✓�j,{re!`[ "11�✓f`aa��-,carie''" i 4 r r r.s#• t ti -�lS-f - - �J4 S � - 1 } ,�j.�3.� rv�a��+Sy- "Y'ml-�: r, ? •, j.

The McLamb Corporation's request for remission was presented to the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions for consideration. The Division of Water Quality was represented by Mr. Tommy Stevens, Regional Supervisor in the Fayetteville Regional Office, and the McLamb Corporation was represented by Jimmy D. McLamb. Having considered the record, arguments of the parties, and the factors set forth in N.C.G.S. §143B -282.1(b) and (c), the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions finds the facts contained in the Director's Findings and Decision and Assessment of Civil Penalties as stipulated by the McLamb Corporation, and that the Director properly applied the criteria set forth in N.C.G.S. §143B-282.1 in determining the amount of the civil penalties. Pursuant to N.C.G.S. §143-282. 1 (c), the Committee further finds that there are grounds for remission or reduction of 2 the penalties assessed by the Director for the September 3, 1996 discharge from the nonfunctioning flush pit at the J.M. Farm for the reason that the pipe blockage was inadvertent and promptly corrected to abate continuing environmental damage and petitioner had no prior violations. Upon duly made motion and vote, the Committee finds that the civil penalty assessment for the September 3, 1996 violation should be reduced by $1,000.00 and upheld in the amount of $1,000.00. The $2,000.00 civil penalty for the wastewater discharge on September 26, 1996 and $1,058.54 cost of investigation are upheld. THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED: 1. That the assessment of civil penalties and investigation costs against the McLamb Corporation in the amount of $4,058.54 is AFFIRMED. 2.

APR 1s1991 MR. STEVE W. TEDDER WATERQUAL,Ty SEC.17ON Water Quality Section Chief/DWOPFRATIONSBRANCH P. O. Box 29535 Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 Dear Sir: 0- ��v APR 14 1997 WAHER ER QUAL!TY SECTION This letter is in response to remission of fines and penalties. I would like the availability of being able to use this -money to enhance my ability to prevent the likely hood of any such violation in the future. I have set forth a budgeted amount of money to clear extra land and increase my ability to spray more volume in a shorter period of time by including a reel system on the new ground. The reel system allows for a greater amount of nutrients to be applied in the same time as my current solid set system. The reel system would be on the NEW ground on a separate line, to allow pumping both systems at the same time if every necessary -such as the time between Bertha and Fran. I have already cleared the land at a cost of $21000.00 for twenty (20) acres. This twenty acres will allow me about twelve (12) acres to spray on due to State Laws governing buffers from ditches and property boundaries and wetlands. I would have like to have one of the larger reels but could not obtain the funds. The cost of the reel is $5800.00. This alone, with seeding the grass and plumbing will exceed my budget due to the increased cost on the acres cleared for spraying. In respect to the fine (a - e) items listed in the remission request I will respond as follows: a) I do not feel that any assessment factors were wrongfully applied. b) I did stop any problems as soon as physically possible, to try to be in compliance. On the second violation of spraying in the ditch we are currently moving the sprinkler from the ditch area so that this will not happen again. I have also told the employees not to spray the ditch area again. Some of the employees did not understand that the x on my map indicated DO NOT USE. Most people are not interested in papers that pertain to work, they just want to work and that is all. c) As stated in my first letter dated 12-20-97, the hurricane had a great effect on the violations. The rain that we had after Bertha and before Fran and the slowness of the underground solid set system of irrigation led up to the problem of the pit stopping up and discharging. d) No assessment before this and hopefully none after. e) This money will hold back my ability to correct the short fall in the system of irrigating. My budget is only a specific amount for the items that will help prevent any future problems of this nature. Because the fine falls into the same category of Land and Nutrients, it will inhibit my ability to proceed with my plans of prevention. It is very hard to go to a bank a second time for the same project and get'a positive response from them. I have enclosed a copy of the bills incurred so far on this project and a map outlining the areas to clear and spray. The area outlined in red is the cleared acres, the blue is the buffers from property lines, ditches and wetlands. If you have any questions, please call 592-1516 or 564-2106 at night.

Date this facility began operation: The prvpM on which the Jam is located was pruchased by the Mc Lambs on Juhr 13. 1983. The farm has been in f ll operation since 1979. 9. Date of last expansion: The facility has not expanded since it's, registration on Seatember 30. 1993 based an observations made gt therm during the insQectians. 10_ Has the facility registered with DWQ? YESLX NO If yes, date of registration 9%30193 11. Does the facility have an approved Animal Waste Marmgement Plan YES— N0_X Is one required? YES_ NO X Date Approved: NIA 12. Has this facility received a CAFO Designation? YES NQ_X If yes, date issued-. 13. Type of Operation: Swim Farrow to Finish Farm 14. Number and type of livestock: There are an estimated 337 sows omgg at the farm and a ro' 2563 frnishin stock. 15. Length of time animals have been, are, or will be stabled, or confined and fed or maintained in any 12 month period. jw_QhLe J 12 mo 16. Are crops, pagture, or post harvest residues sustained in the normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facilit}fl The farm was registered for 0 acres available for the land-alication of waste At the time ofd investigatiom it was observed that the vegetative growth on the upper spray field consisted mostl roof weeds mixed in with some coastal berrrnrda- The a lower pray fields had a more sig rZ p4m stand of coastal _berrrruda i ut all _ problems with weeds resent in the fields. It also appeared that these spray field acreagces did not total 50 acres as the r bn indicates. After reviewing a pmpM imp of the site, it is estimated 1bg o 30-40 acres are available for waste aonlication-_ Based on calculations of waste production from a 2900 head farrow to finish gRpration, this land is insufficient to u%*e thcZenerated PAN. It was obWved that on the 9126196 in the hpMMda MM had been cut and bailed which left the svrav fields with no viable cover trot) for the winter months. It is not known at this time if a winter cover crop will be established at a later da i 7. Type of Waste Management System: Swine are kM in total confinement free stall barns with slotted floors over $ushingpits_ Waste is flushed as needed from floor pits into waste lagoon system. The lagoon system is cmmnosed of two (2) lagoons from which waste can be pumped to a solid set irri 'on system and $muted on the fields via sprinkler heads. 18. Description of other animal operations in immediate vicinity and proximity to same or other surface waters: It was noted that the TRIAD MurpWs Compare}+ Farm was _app roxffmdy 1 mile Nosh of the McLamb Farm. The TRIAD farm applies waste on fields east of SRI 946 and this area is not in immediate vincurty to areysurface waters. 19. Proximity of facility to neighboring houses, wells, etc.: There is a residence approximatelti 300 yards, from the farm site and is adjacent jQ the upper on field. 20. Approximate depth of ground water table in the area of the facility or discharge: 'm 21. Proximity of facility to surface waters: Facility (edge of lagoon) is looted approximately 100yyards from am Unnamed Trial ry to Shade Branch, Class "C -SW" waters. 22_ Animal waste discharged. Swine Witnesses: Ed Buchan.. DWQ WO Fayetteville Regional Office (910) 486-1541. Sue Homewood DWQ WO Central Office (919) 733-5083. 23 _ Are pollutants discharged in the waters of the State? YES If so, how? Qn the initial inspection on 913196, it was observed that waste was beim land applied during a prgdpta�on event, on of the l oohs revealed that adeguate freeboard was available and land Mlication was not mMng lately necessary. Upon further mvemgatiori waste was observed to discharge from an mwroperty fimctioning_lush Vk to a nearby field ditch. This ditch is an unnamed tributary-Qf Shade Branch and is jn intermittent Blue Line Stream on a USGS_Topo Map. Also on the date of this inspection waste was visuallyced1 r�DWO staff to a wetland area. During the second inspection on 9126196, waste was observed beingland and applied on the lower spray field in such a manner thaiwas }irrQ drrsctly discharged into the pr�viousl�rneretionedch. W _was visually traced by Regional DWO staff and it was confirmed that high concentrations of waste were again entering the Macem wetland area and drmning into Shade Branch (see attached photographs and USGS Toyo Man) 24. Do or have discharges occurred in response to a storm event less severe than the 25 year, 24 hour storm? YES. during both investigations lagoon levels were aftWe, and waste was—being land applied so as to irscharge to s�uf waters. Under neither circumstance had their been a 25 year. 24 hour storm recently. 25. What is the degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to public health, or to private property resulting from the violation?: The discharge has caused the introduction of nutriMs into the receiving cream that will cause or add to the of algW blooms and eratedo hication of the slow muvmiz waters of the receivirrstream. Also. samples taken indicate elevated focal coliform levels down stream of the facility. Sample results: Sample Location (913196) 1. Exiting House-ID#%WE95057 2. Ditch Pipe-ID#96WE95058 3.

What is the duration and gravity of the violation?: Based pit observed discharging on 9/3196 was discharging on comments from farm sma at least 24 hours prior to the arrival the ' of DWO staff. fimcai Rush The problem most likely continued ^for a minimurn of 24 hours jfter the inspection of 9/3/96. Egarm staff also mentioned that the par a drairing the flush pit was clogged at that Mme. 1t was also observed that a 6 inch PVC par a (see attached photogra hJ had been placed in the field ditch and was channelling the waste from the flush pit_ At this time it is pot known whatthe pgaM a of this p pi a was. although it may be m place to help drain from the firrm into the ditch. The discharee observed on 9/26196 was estimated to have been occurring for a minimum of 2 to 3 hours based on the condition ofthe SM 5el 27. Water Quality Assessment: At the time ofboth inspetxions waste was observed to comprise of at least_ 75% of the total flow of the field ditch. Qgdqg ft sccond jgWgdon it was estimated that waste compdW of mmmxin i% f the flow into Shade Branch_ 28. What is the cost of rectifying the damage?: The writer observed no areas that dg= activities would be recommended. Arty cleanup would cause adverse impacts to ray wetlands There has been no _ E%ortt downstream impacts outside the area ofthe investi on. 29. What is the amount of money saved by noncompliance?: Based on observations made during the investigations, no cost was significantly decreased by epyb= the wastestoder improper conditions. 30. Was the violation committed wr71f'* or intentionally?: YES _ NO X Explain: Although it is obvious that the irrigation ego' meat operators should have been more careful in how muck where. and when the waste was beingV2h-j d on 9/26196_ it does not aOPear that they intended_fbr the wast to reach surface waters. The discharge on 913/96 also seems to be more of a case of negigence and lack of maintenence. 31. What is the prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority?: Regional files contained no pUnjous violations for this farm. 32. What is the cost to the State for the enforcement procedures?: Regional Costs are as follows: Photo, film and developing: $10.00 Mileage: $0.20 per mile for 180 miles: $36.00 Fecal Coliform ($22.00 per sample) * 7: COD Analysis ($24.75 per sample) * 0: BOD Analysis ($33.00 per sample) * 6-- Copies :Copies (Sampson County Court House) Ed Buchan @ $ l 8.64/hr 4 hours - Drive Time 5 hours - Investi*on 8 hours - Report Development 17 hours total Sue Homewood @ 18.30/hr 2 hours - Investigation 8 hours - Report Development 10 hours total Michael Wicker P.E. @ $26.58/hr 1 hour - Review Kerr T.

The non-fbnctiQmn_& flush ig was Ecpared Mor to the second investi 35. Are there any Mitigating Circumstances?: NQ 36. Assessment Factors: a. IWC : Initial discharge was visually estimated at 75% of the flow of the field ditch. The second observation of discharge was estimated at 1% of the flow of the Shade Branch. b. Receiving Stream: Shade Brarnch c. Damage Yes _ No X (Based on observations at the time of the investiganion) If YES, include report from Wadlife Resources Commission. 37. Include a copy of anv Designation Metter signed bathe Director. 38. Recommendations Made to Owner/Operator: At the of the initial investigation_ I- Imm ' t waste on to the fi ds 2- Take immediate action to prevem discharge from re-occursin . (i.e. repair flush nits 3- Contact NRCS to obtain technical assistance if necessary. 39. Recommendations for further DWQ Action: - Notice of Violation LForwarded October 8, 996) - Enforcement Action - Reinspection - Revocation of Deemed Status 40. Other Comments: It is the opinion of the writer that the flush nit system needs to be thoroughN examined and measures should be taken in order tQ prevent further discharges �m this system. Such measures may include a bar screen in fro A of all drain pipes and upMding_undersized rain pipes. The six inch PVC_pipe should be removed from the field ditch. In addition a winter cover m needs to be established inunedig* and buffers should be established aloin the field-d&A The current sprinkler btggfion system should also be mom so as, to not dire disclggw into the field ditch. It may be n@pp§M to dear and establish more acreage for land application in order to continue o xnr on 19 the gAmg t swine poMiMon. 9C4 wt� ; �6f - % — P r,ad akar'$ A�)��r � � ,' �,�, !,� .�`�••• n,,, lit nx G Rl�i•�, frtJ ,+.d "fir r 2 a ;{i{,- � •`: f�. •" i 1. wI�F �+yy jr ii,j�jf/��i3f�.. �'M1�.�S�� 1`•!."

GE — DWQ ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER HEALTH, AND NATURAL RESOURCES FAYETTEVILLE, N. C. 28301-5043 SUBJECT: OPERATION REVIEW DELWAY DEAR MR BUCHAN, This letter is in response to the visit to my farm on Friday the 25th of July around 3:00 PM. I would like to thank you and your colleagues for the help you gave me in reaching a corrective action so promptly, which helps us all in the end. Under your direction my Service man, Anthony Carter contacted his superior, Donnie Bradsher, who contacted a technical specialist, Craig Westerbec, who assessed the seepage and rendered his solution to the problem. At 5:10 pm Craig, Neil and Anthony found the end of the pipe on the waters edge and immediately pulled it from the water. This stopped all the seepage. Craig and Neil then directed me to dig into the damn about 2 to 3 feet' and cut the pipe and fill it with cement on the inside and the outside and to extend in front of the pipe about 2 feet toward to lagoon. This was completed by 7:00 p.m. by Anthony and myself lthe same day. I—contacted Robert Heath of D.W.Q and asked him to come and check out what we had done before we covered over and packed it down. Robert did come on Monday, the 28th of July at 3:30 p.m. and commented that he liked what he saw, especially in protecting the lagoon damn by not digging all the way through, creating a soft or weak link in an aged settled lagoon damn. There is a second part of the resolution and that is to do the same job with the cement to the backside of the damn. This will be addressed in the next few days.' Again thank you for your help and also Scott's and Trent's of the ASCS office for their routine inspection which resulted in finding the problem before it was allowed to become a disaster.

Box 29535 WA Eft QUALITY Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 SECTION Dear Sir: This letter is in response to remission of fines and penalties. I Would like the availability of being able to use this money to enhance my ability to prevent the likely hood of any such violation in the future. I have set forth a budgeted amount of money to clear extra land and increase Ty ability to spray more volume in a shorter period of time by including a reel system on the new ground. The reel system allows for a greater amount of nutrients to be applied in the same time as my current solid set system. The reel system would be on the NEW ground on a separate line, to allow pumping both systems at the same time if every necessary -such as the time between Bertha and Fran. I have already cleared the land at a cost of $21000.00 for twenty (20) acres. This twenty acres will allow me about twelve (12) acres to spray on due to State Laws governing buffers from ditches and property boundaries and wetlands. I would have like to have one of the larger reels but could not obtain the funds. The cost of the reel is $5800.00. This alone, with seeding the grass and plumbing will exceed my budget due to the increased cost on the acres cleared for spraying. In respect to the fine (a - e) items listed in the remission request I will respond as follows: a) I do not feel that any assessment factors were wrongfully applied. b) I did stop any problems as soon as physically possible, to try to be in compliance. On the second violation of spraying in the ditch we are currently moving the sprinkler from the ditch area so that this will not happen again. I have also told the employees not to spray the ditch area again. Some of the employees did not understand that the x on my map indicated DO NOT USE. Most people are not interested in papers that pertain to work, they just want to work and that is all. C) As stated in my first letter dated 12-20-97, the hurricane had a great effect on the violations. The rain that we had after Bertha and before Fran and the slowness of the underground solid set system of irrigation led up to the problem of the pit stopping up and discharging. d) No assessment before this and hopefully none after. OPERATIONS BRANCH - WQ Fax -919-715-6048 May 28 '97 15:14 P.03/08 e) This money will hold }sack my ability to correct the short fall in the system of irrigating. My budget is only a specific amount for the items that will help prevent any future problems of this nature. Because the fine falls into the same category of band and Nutrients, it will inhibit my ability to proceed with my plans of prevention. It is very hard to go to a bank a second time for the same project and get a positive response from them. I have enclosed a copy of the bills incurred so far on this project and a map outlining the areas to clear and spray. The area outlined in red is the cleared acres, the blue is the buffers from property lines, ditches and wetlands. If you have any questions, please call 592-1516 or 664-2106 at night.

Sunset Avenue Clinton, NC 28328 Subject: NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY Discharge From Lagoon JM Swine Farm (Reg. # 82-207) SR 1946 Sampson County Dear Mr. Mclamb: On 7 /25 /97, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality inspected the JM Swine Farm in response to a Regional Division of Soil and Water operations review. It was observed that liquid waste was exiting the north lagoon via a 4 inch corrugated pipe in the lagoon dam structure. During the inspection, you indicated that this pipe was present in the lagoon dike when you purchased the operation in 1982 and that you subsequently capped this pipe to prevent a discharge from the lagoon. You also indicated that the plastic cap was probably damaged inadvertently during a recent clearing of the lagoon embankments. The damaged cap apparently allowed waste to leak through the pipe and pool in a low area adjacent to the lagoon. Due to the unstable condition of the dam material surrounding the pipe, you were specifically requested not to plug the pipe by Regional Division of Water Quality staff. It was confirmed that the waste draining out of the pipe was pooling around the toe of the lagoon dam and was not leaving the farm site. During the investigation, it was recommended to you that the ditch draining the low area beside the lagoon be blocked with an earthen dam to prevent any potential drainage from entering surface waters of the State.

Consequently, it is of the utmost importance that you immediately contact a technical specialist for advice on how to properly seal and/or remove the pipe. It is also requested that a technical specialist evaluate and certify all of the lagoon embankments as part of the certification process you are currently involved in. Please notify this office in writing by no later than September 1, I997 at the address on the bottom of the previous page as to the actions taken or proposed to be taken to resolve the noted deficiency.

It was observed that liquid waste was exiting the north lagoon via a 4 inch corrugated pipe in the lagoon dam structure. During the inspection, you indicated that this pipe was present in the lagoon dike when you purchased the operation in 1982 and that you subsequently capped this pipe to prevent a discharge from the lagoon. You also indicated that the plastic cap was probably damaged inadvertently during a recent clearing of the lagoon embankments The damaged cap apparently allowed waste to leak through the pipe and pool in a low area adjacent to the lagoon. Due to the unstable condition of the dam material surrounding the pipe, you were specifically requested not to plug the pipe by Regional Division of Water Quality staff. It was confirmed that the waste draining out of the pipe was pooling around the toe of the lagoon dam and was not leaving the farm site. During the investigation, it was recommended to you that the ditch draining the low area beside the lagoon be blocked with an earthen dam to prevent any potential drainage from entering surface waters of the State.

On September 3, 1996 staff from the Division of Water Quality performed an inspection of your farm located off SR1946. The inspection revealed that waste was being sprayed on the field adjacent to SR1946 in an extremely poor manner as no significant cover crop was present and it was also raining during the application event. .However, no waste was observed leaving the field during the investigation. Further inspection also revealed that animal waste was discharging from a malfunctioning flush pit and entering the waters of the State. Animal waste was observed flowing from the flush pit to a nearby ditch and then into an unnamed tributary to Shade Branch which are Class "C -SW" waters of the State. In addition, during a follow-up inspection on September 26, 1996 waste was observed entering the aforementioned ditch again via two sprinkler heads which were spraying waste directly into the ditch. This discharge also entered into the same Wachovia Building, Suite 714, Fayetteville SAW FAX 910-486-0707 North Carolina 28301-5043 N%` C An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Voice 910-486-1541 50% recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper \1 Mr. McLamb Page 2 1018196 unnamed tributary to Shade Branch.

McLamb McLamb Corporation 1234 Sunset Avenue Clinton, NC 28328 (910)592-1516 December 20, 1996 To: In reference to: RECEIVED JAIN 1 1991, FAYETTEVILLE REG. OFFICE Registered Letter dated October 8, 1996 This is a reply with respect to the registered letter sent to me on October 8, 1996. The first matter of spraying waste in a poor manner due to no cover crops being present can be confirmed by Wilson Spencer of Sampson County Office and W. O. Boone (phone:.285-g//1) who is presently cutting the hay. Mr. Boone has sold off of that field about $300 worth of hay, which is not but about less .than 1/3 of the total for that field. In reference to it raining while pumping; that morning I instructed my personnel to run the pump at that farm since it was not raining. I have instructed as well as 'posted in the office that I do not pump the lagoons when it is raining. Due to the inevitable threat of a hurricane (Fran) coming within 100 -miles of much less a direct hit of my farm. I knew I should pump due to the slow movement of the underground system type. Even though this is the preferred system of the DEHNR, it is the slowest to move the level of the lagoon. These ponds were full due to a previous hurricane (Bertha) only weeks prior to Hurricane Fran. In reference to the malfunctions pit overflowing: This is due to the previous Hurricane Bertha and the slowness of the system to remove the increased volume of rain water. During the time between .these two hurricanes, there were very few consecutive days of low threat of rain which would be optimum for pumping and reducing the level of the lagoons. The second result was the field had hay on it which, as soon as it dried, would be cut and removed and with the respect for the quality of the hay. This was restricted where I sprayed. The increased rains prevented cutting and the cycle was leaving me "out to dry" so to speak in terms of managing my lagoon. When a real threat came (Hurricane Fran), I had no' choice but to pump to prepare and protect my lagoon for the increased rain. Some call this the lesser of two evils. A lagoon purge or spray in' the rain. In the follow-up inspection, the overflow flush pit was corrected. Now another problem was the sprinklers were spraying into a ditch. This problem was corrected as well, an onsight seen basis from direction of Mr. Buchan to my em loyee. The problem here is that when the engineer laid out my fields for sprinklers there were not t laws in his knowing of disregarding ditches. His only concern was overlapping coverage of the spraying circumferences for application rate of lb. N (pounds of Nitrogen) on the crop. This farm was laid out with the intent of what was heard and believed to be what the Soil and Water Conservation Office had stated as being preferred; an underground sprinkler system. We had large reservations in doing this system due to salt build up in the pipes and the slowness of the system. However, we went ahead anyway on the belief of the NRCS preferring it. All of this was in place years ago before these regulations were detailed out. Since the laws, I have drawn on the field maps which ,sprinklers NOT to use due to the ditch. We are also currently looking into making a waterway of the ditch to allow full coverage of this field again. As with any day-to-day operation, hurtles must be crossed. We fix one and another pops up and we fix it and so on. The point being, that we try and will do whatever is necessary to comply with the regulation set forth. We all live, eat and drink here together. In reference to applying for a permit to allow discharge, I need the forms and information to do so in a proper and "timely" manner. On September 3, 1995, my personnel was instructed by Mr. Buchan to stop pumping due to the rain. He also left a card to be given to me so I could call him. The next day it was clear and sunny but I didn't go by the farm until late in the afternoon.and saw that the pump wasn't running. I called my employee at home that night to see why he wasn't pumping with a hurricane (Fran) on the way. He then told me he was instructed not to pump until otherwise told to do so by Mr. Buchan. The next morning I called Fayetteville office of DEHNR. Mr. Buchan was not in so 'I talked with another gentleman in charge and asked for permission over the telephone to pump until the power went out due to the immediate threat of Hurricane Fran. He instructed me to do so but to try to prevent run-off from entering directly into a ditch. I did as he instructed. I asked him to make a note of this call on his desk calendar for me and he said he did so. I am enclosing a portion of a letter sent by Wilson Spencer to all parties concerned: banks, contractors, inspectors,insurance etc..., pertaining to our certified status, due to the fact that the hurricanes (Bertha and Fran) interrupted normal operations of land clearers and contractors.

Howes, Secretary January 15, 1997 TO:. Shannon Langley, Environmental Specialist Facility Compliance Unit FROM: Ed Buchan, Environmental Engineer Fayetteville Regional Office SUBJECT: Additional Information for McLamb Enforcement Package This office recently received a letter (enclosed for your review) from Mr. McLamb in regards to his actions during the month of September, 1995. Mr. McLamb's response represents an explanation for why waste was discharged from his swine facility as documented in the NOV sent to him on October 8, 1996, from this office. However, I feel that it is necessary to point out a few noted discrepancies in some of the statements made by Mr. McLamb. To begin, Mr. McLamb has indicated that a significant coastal bermuda crop did exist on his spray fields during the inspections. 1 have included photographs that clearly illustrate the condition of his spray fields during the inspections and it seem evident that a large portion of his cover crop consisted of weeds. It was also documented during the later inspection that waste was being applied to a field where the existing vegetation had been recently removed. Second, Mr. McLamb states that he did not spray waste in the rain and the only reason why he was spraying was to obtain more storage for Hurricane Fran. It should be noted that both of Mr. McLamb's lagoons did indeed have the minimum 19" of freeboard on the date of the first inspection and it was raining that day as shown in the included photographs. These facts can be further validated by Sue Homewood as she was also present during the initial inspection. It should also be pointed out that land applying waste during non- favorable conditions is an emergency action that is only recommended when the lagoon is in immediate danger of failing (i.e. liquid lapping at the top of dam) and not when the lagoon has 19" of freeboard and storage.
