Dear DC Mills Farms, Inc:
The Division of Water Resources (Division) has reviewed the repair summary submitted by Chris
Love, NC Division of Soil and Water Conservation, on July 14, 2021. The repair plan to utilize a
60 mil HDPE synthetic liner for the full lagoon is acceptable. As noted in the plan, all installation
shall comply with the current NC NRCS Standards 359 (Waste Treatment Lagoon) and 521 (Pond
Sealing or Lining — Geomembrane or Geosynthetic Clay Liner).
The engineer will be required to certify the repair of the hole created by the breach and submit that
certification to the Division's Central Office prior to installation of the liner.
Sludge removal must be done prior to the installation of the synthetic liner to prevent failure of the
liner. Please provide a Sludge Plan of Action (POA) developed and signed by a Certified
Technical Specialist as soon as possible. Approval of the Sludge POA is not required prior to
implementation; however, it must be submitted to the Division prior to implementation.
Engineer's Certification of the completed repairs must be submitted to the Division's Central
Office. Please send to my attention. If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact
me at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
a-gAw Lott. Listi,>AK.,„___
