Certificate of Coverage No. AWS540126
Brandon Whitfield Farm
Animal Waste Management System
Lenoir County
The Division of Water Resources (Division) received your sludge survey information on
February 9, 2021. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey
requirement for Lagoon 1 at the Brandon Whitfield Farm facility. Due to the amount of
treatment volume available, and the rate of sludge accumulation for the lagoon, the Division
agrees that a sludge survey is not needed until December 31, 2023.
The next sludge survey for Lagoon 1 at Brandon Whitfield should be performed before
December 31, 2023. 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,
