2. Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below, as
they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is
not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the
factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request
forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your
right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in
dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In determining
whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b) were
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the violator;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator has been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial
actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in
writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you
of their decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding
the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee).
Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original
remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a
complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of Civil
Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30)
days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that you complete and submit
the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should be submitted to the following
address:

FINDINGS AND DECISION
AND ASSESSMENT OF
CIVIL PENALTIES
Acting pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of
Environmental Quality, I, S. Daniel Smith, Director of the Division of Water Resources (DWR),
make the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. Mr. Bryan McLamb owns and operates B&L Farm, a swine operation located along
2525 Plain View Hwy Dunn, North Carolina in Sampson County.
B. A Certificate of Coverage (COC) AWS820086 under General Permit AWGI00000
for the Bryan McLamb swine operation was issued on October 1, 2019 and the
COC expires on September 30, 2024. This permit does not allow the discharge of
waste to waters of the State.
C. G.S. 143-215.1(a) states that "no person shall do the following things or carry out
any of the following activities unless the person has received a permit from the
Commission and has complied with all the conditions set forth in the permit: (1)
make any outlets into the waters of the State".
D. On June 12, 2020 at 11:12 am, Mr. Curtis Barwick, a Technical Specialist for Bryan
McLamb reported to DWR Fayetteville Regional Office (FRO) staff that the waste
lagoon at B&L Farms had breached. DWR staff arrived onsite June 12, 2020 at
12:40pm and documented that the lagoon was breached. Efforts to contain the animal
waste and recover waste product were in progress.
E. B&L Farms reported that approximately three million gallons of animal waste was
discharged from the breached/failed waste lagoon structure.
F. On June 12, 2020, DWR staff from the Fayetteville Regional office observed that
the wastewater and the waste lagoon solids/sludge discharged from the lagoon

that coursed overland into the wetlands and to surface waters, Starlins Swamp, a
Class C Swamp Water. The waste was documented approximately 1.35 miles
from the breached lagoon at Christmas Road in Sampson County. Waste was
confirmed to have impacted in excess of 4,990 linear feet of Starlins Swamp.
Wastewater and the waste lagoon solids/sludge depths in the wetlands and in
Wagner Pond was extensive. DWR staff also documented a fish kill in the
Wagner pond. Wagner Pond is about 0.5 miles from the lagoon, and DWR staff
estimated a minimum of one thousand dead fish including sunfish, catfish, bass,
and an eel.
G. DWR staff collected water samples that documented severe and extensive impacts
to waters, 1.35 miles downstream from the three million gallon lagoon breach.
Samples collected included the following sample locations in Starlins Swamp:
Wagner Ditch (Pond), Taylor's Chapel, and Christmas Tree Rd. Samples results
revealed low Dissolved Oxygen (less than 4.0 mg/L), high conductivity, elevated
fecal coliform, high biological oxygen demand (BOD) and elevated concentrations
of nutrients (Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN), ammonia, total nitrogen, and
phosphorus), demonstrating severe animal wastewater and waste solids/sludge
impacts to surface waters (Attachment A).
H. U.S. Army Corp of Engineers visited the breach site and the Starlins swamp area
and confirmed that hog waste was discharged into waters and wetlands from the
B&L Farms due to the lagoon breach. Wastewater and the waste lagoon
solids/sludge depths were observed to be approximately two feet deep in places.
There were so much animal waste/solids in waters and wetlands that the
determination of the full extent of the wetland impacts was impeded by scale of
the waste spill and animal waste solids deposition.
I. On June 12, 2020 DWR staff walked the lagoon berm and discovered that the
vegetation was observed dead at the inside crest of the lagoon berm due to being
inundated by the waste.
J. On June 12, 2020, DWR staff noted that Mr. McLamb failed to conduct and
document any 120-minute inspections after irrigation events as necessary to ensure
that the animal waste is land applied in accordance with the CAWMP.
K. On June 12, 2020, Mr. Bryan McLamb explained to DWR staff that: 1) the lagoon
level was at 19 inches on June &, 2020; 2) that the lagoon was at 17 inches on June
11, 2020 (when Mr. McLamb left the farm); 3) Mr. McLamb stated that he recorded
2 inches of rain on June 11, 2020, and 4) Mr. McLamb confirmed that he failed to
conduct the required inspection of waste collection, treatment, storage structures,
and runoff control measures after a storm event of greater than one inch of rainfall
in 24 hours. DWR staff walked the lagoon berm and discovered that portions of the
remaining earthen lagoon berm containment structure were severely saturated with
wastewater, such that it was notably soft and soggy to traverse.

L. The information Mr. Bryan McLamb provided to DWR on June 12, 2020 confirmed
the failure to record all irrigation and land application event(s) including hydraulic
loading rates, nutrient loading rates and cropping information. The only records Mr.
McLamb could provide were notations on a 2020 calendar for the months of April,
May, and June of 2020.
M. On June 12, 2020, DWR staff requested Mr. McLamb to provide all the records
pertaining to the animal waste management system at B&L Farms for review. Mr.
McLamb could not provide requested records. (e.g. the General Permit, the
facility's COC, certification forms, lessee and landowner agreements, the
CAWMP and copies of all records required by this General Permit). The only
records Mr. McLamb could provide were notations on a 2020 calendar for the
months of April, May, and June of 2020.
N. On June 16, 2020, DWR staff surveyed the waste lagoon at B&L Farms and
documented that the waste level in the lagoon had been to the top of the berm,
well within structural freeboard, for a prolong period of time. The survey
documented the high water marks and waste deposition at four distinct locations
in and around the lagoon (waste/water line on lagoon waste level marker,
wastewater line on suction pipe support post, dead grass line where waste has
been for an extended period of time causing the grass to die, and sludge on top of
the influent waste pipe to the lagoon). This information clearly demonstrates that
waste levels were less than one inch from the lowest point on what remains of the
lagoon embankment. The waste levels had been at that elevation long enough to
destroy/kill the vegetation on the inside of the lagoon embankment, demonstrating
these conditions of elevated freeboard existed for longer than 24 hours.
O. The permitted compliance level for this lagoon is 19 inches based on the Certified
Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). On June 23, 2020, Mr. McLamb
stated to DWR staff that prior to the night of June 11, 2020, the lagoon freeboard
had not been less than 19 inches since Hurricane Florence. However, the survey
and photographic evidence show that the freeboard had been less than 19 inches for
more than 24 hours prior to June 11, 2020. DWR file review confirmed that there
is no record of having received a notification from the permittee as required by the
permit prior to June 12, 2020, for any freeboard level that exceeded the permitted
level of 19" (including on June 11, 2020 when the freeboard level was noted by Mr.
McLamb to be 17").
P. On July 15, 2020, DWR issued a Notice of Violation -Notice of Intent to Enforce,
NOV-2020-DV-00303, to Mr. Bryan McLamb for violations of the General
Permit AWG100000 (Certificate of Coverage AWS820086), 15A NCAC 02B .0211
(2) & (6) and 15A NCAC 02B .0231 (c).
Q. Mr. Bryan McLamb' s Animal General Permit (AWG100000) Condition I.1. states
"Any discharge of waste which reaches surface waters or wetlands is prohibited

except as otherwise provided in this General Permit and associated statutory and
regulatory provisions. Waste shall not reach surface waters or wetlands by runoff,
drift, manmade conveyances, direct application and direct discharge or through
ditches not otherwise classified as State waters."
R. Mr, Bryan McLamb' s Animal General Permit (AWG100000) Condition II.12.
states "A protective vegetative cover shall be established and maintained on all
earthen lagoon/storage pond embankments (outside toe of embankment to
maximum operating level/compliance level on embankment interior). Trees,
shrubs, and other woody vegetation shall not be allowed to grow on the
lagoon/storage pond embankments. All trees shall be removed in accordance with
good engineering practices. Lagoon/storage pond areas shall be accessible, and
vegetation shall be kept mowed."
S. Mr. Bryan McLamb' s Animal General Permit (AWG100000) Condition 1I.17. of
states "The OIC, Designated Back-up OIC of a Type A Animal Waste Management
System, or a person under the supervision of an OIC or designated Back up OIC
shall inspect the land application as often as necessary to ensure that the animal
waste is land applied in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case, shall the time
between inspections be more than 120 minutes during the application of waste. A
record of each inspection shall be recorded on forms supplied by, or approved by,
the Division and shall include the date, time, spray field number and name of the
operator for each inspection. If neither the OIC or designated Back up OIC was
present during the land application, then the OIC or designated Back up OIC shall
inspect the land application area with the shall inspect the land application area
within twenty-four (24) hours.
Inspection shall include but not be limited to visual observation of application
equipment, land application area, subsurface drain outlets, ditches, and draining
ways for any discharge of waste."
T. Mr. Bryan McLamb' s Animal General Permit (AWGI00000) Condition I11.1.
AWGI00000 states "An inspection of the waste collection, treatment, and storage
structures, and runoff control measures shall be conducted and documented at a
frequency to insure proper operation but at least monthly and after all storm events
of greater than one (1) inch in 24 hours. For example, lagoons/storage ponds, and
other structures should be inspected for evidence of erosion, leakage, damage by
animals or discharge. Inspection shall also include visual observation of subsurface
drain outlets, ditches, and drainage ways for any discharge of waste."
U. Mr. Bryan McLamb' s Animal General Permit (AWG100000) Condition III.b.
states "The Permittee shall record all irrigation and land application event(s)
including hydraulic loading rates, nutrient loading rates and cropping information.
The Permittee shall also record removal of solids and document nutrient loading
rates if disposed of on -site or record the off. -site location(s). These records must be
on forms supplied by, or approved by, the Division."

V. Mr. Bryan McLamb' s Animal General Permit (AWG100000) Condition II1.15.
states "A copy of this General Permit, the facility's COC, certification forms, lessee
and landowner agreements, the CAWMP and copies of all records required by this
General Permit and the facility's CAWMP shall be maintained by the Permittee in
chronological and legible form for five (5) years. Records include but are not
limited to: soil and waste analyses, rain gauge readings, freeboard levels, irrigation
and land application event(s), past inspection reports and operational reviews,
animal stocking records, records of additional nutrient sources applied (including
but not limited to sludges, unused feedstuff leachate, milk waste, septage and
commercial fertilizer), cropping information, waste application equipment testing
and calibration, and records of removal of solids to off -site location(s). These
records shall be maintained on forms provided or approved by the Division and
shall be readily available at the facility (stored at places such as the farm residence,
office, outbuildings, etc.) where animal waste management activities are being
conducted."
W. Mr. Bryan McLamb' s Animal General Permit (AWG I00000) Condition V.2.
states "The maximum waste level in lagoons/storage ponds that shall not exceed
that specified in the facility's CAWMP. At a minimum, maximum waste level for
lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides adequate storage to
contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional one (1) foot of structural
freeboard except that there shall be no violation of this condition if
a. there is a storm event more severe than a 25-year, 24-hour event;
b. the Permittee is in compliance with its CAWMP and
c. there is at least one (1) foot of structural freeboard."
X. North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (2) states that the
conditions of waters shall be such that waters are suitable for all best uses
specified in this Rule. Sources of water pollution that preclude any of these uses
on either a short-term or long-term basis shall be deemed to violate a water
quality standard.
Y. The water quality standards for wetlands, as found in Title 15A North Carolina
Administrative Code 02B .0231(a), are designed to protect, preserve, restore and
enhance the quality and uses of wetlands and other waters of the state influenced
by wetlands.
Z. Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02B .0231(b)(1) requires "Liquids,
fill or other solids or dissolved gases may not be present in amounts which may
cause adverse impacts on existing wetland uses;"

"Hydrological conditions necessary to support the biological and physical
characteristics naturally present in wetlands shall be protected to prevent adverse

impacts on: (C) The chemical, nutrient and dissolved oxygen regime of the
wetland; (D) The movement of aquatic fauna; and (F) Water levels or elevations."
BB. The impacts occurred to Starlins Swamp Class C Swamp Water and to wetlands
Class WL waters within the Cape Fear River Basin.
CC. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled
$16,698.43.

Dear Bryan McLamb:
According to our records, your facility was assessed for a discharge of wastewater to the waters
of the state that occurred on June 12, 2020.. As a result, according to the North Carolina General
Statutes §143-21.5.1, 40 Code of Federal Regulations §122.23, and the Memorandum of
Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, you are
required to apply for coverage under an NPDES permit.
Within 90 days of receipt of this letter, complete and return the attached form, "NPDES
General Permit Application-- Existing Animal Waste Operations." Please carefully follow
the instructions on the form. If you wish to apply for an Individual NPDES Permit instead of a
General Permit, please contact us and we will forward you that application. Two copies of your
complete Certified Animal. Waste Management Plan are required with the permit
application. Please refer to the checklist on page two of the application to be sure that all
necessary documents are submitted with the application.
A copy of the NPDES General Permit may be downloaded at our website:

Division can make appropriate determination to your situation.
