Dear Mr. Dunlap,
JUN 0 9 2020
WCW,1 )S
v.! PrCICINIA
This memo is to address the required written response requested from the Notice of Violation
sent on April 13, 2020. We intend to do our best to explain the corrective actions that have
been taken and will include documentation of many expenditures that have been made in an
effort to improve the farm and address the violations.
Violation 1:
We have fully explained to our farm manager the importance of reporting to us any and all
events like this that may be problem so we can follow the guidance of reporting in the permit.
The OIC rented a trash pump the next day and pumped as much waste as possible back into the
spray field
Violation 2:
In future we will report any failure of any component of our waste management system
resulting in a discharge to ditches, surface waters, or wetlands. We will also have more
oversight over anyone operating equipment under OIC supervision.
Violation 3:
We have fixed the irrigation guns and will now meet the designed wetted diameter. We also
went over the proper use with our employees.
Violation 4:
We will replant all fields that are in need and make sure the over seed takes a stand in fall and if
it fails to make an adequate stand we will re -plant.

Violation 5:
All trees, shrubs, and other woody vegetation have been removed from the dike wall. The bare
areas on the lagoon have been reseeded.
We are required to have our Lagoon Gauge verified and we have notified our service company
and integrator of this need. We intend to get it certified as required in the permit.
Violation 6:
This scenario was caused by a wet winter making it hard to land apply. We plan to speed
pumping times so as to apply waste at a lower rate to avoid ponding. We will not pump unless
it is dry enough to hold the water without runoff or ponding.
Violation 7:
We will now start keeping application records per gun not by zone so it easier for everyone to
understand. A new map and waste plan have been created to help with this. All applications
will be separated to make it easier for everyone to understand. This was old way of doing
things to simplify entering hundreds of irrigation times and no one has knowingly put any
incorrect acres on any forms.
We plan to do a better job of recording irrigation events and do a better job making sure we are
in the proper location on the map when cross-referencing the pumping information.
With Kind Regards,
eau,a
Russell Wood
