Subject: Sludge Survey Testing Dates
Certificate of Coverage No. AWS820009
Butler and Crumpler Farm (B&C)
Animal Waste Management System
Sampson County
The Division of Water Resources (Division) received your sludge survey information on
September 23, 2020. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey
requirement for Lagoon I at the Butler and Crumpler Farm facility. Due to the amount of
treatment volume available, and the rate of sludge accumulation for the lagoon, the Division
feels that an extension is not appropriate at this time.
The next sludge survey for Lagoon 1 at the Butler and Crumpler Farm should be performed
before December 31, 2020. Please retain this letter and keep it with your farm records for
reference.
Please call me at 919-707-3663 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
crazy A. -0urdap
