Dear Howard Bros Farms LLC:

The Division of Water Resources (Division) received your sludge survey information on October
19, 2021. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement
for the Lagoon at the D & K 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 the Lagoon at D & K Farm should be performed before December
31, 2023. Please retain this letter and keep it with your farm records for reference.

Please call me at [phone] if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
M iressaD. Garoma
