In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and, industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers. Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2, SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an appropriate enforcement action. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting requirement.

Only the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any acreage within the plan that cannot be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your plan. An evaluation by Rocky Durham on 6/21/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X". Category 1: ❑ The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Rocky Durham the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination.

Based on his observations during the inspectionthisletter is being issued as a Notice of Violation for failing to maintain and remove the trees/shrubs on the lagoon. Failure to properly maintain and manage the structures at the facility is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.10 (c) and North Carolina Administrative Code 15A 2H. 0217 (d). In addition to maintenance deficiencies of the waste storage structure, the IRR-2 forms need to be clearer regarding the acreage receiving waste. It was not clear whether the total acres, wetted acres, or the acreage covered for each pull (by the traveling gun) was used in calculating the amount of waste applied to the crop (see the inspection report). A general drawing and/or diagram of the irrigation system might have been useful in the review of the records. A drawing/diagram of the system should be obtained and be available during inspection. It is requested that a written response be submitted to this Office by April 15, 2001 indicating the actions.taken to correct the noted violation. Please address your response to the attention of Mr. Johnson. It is also requested that your response reference the date and subject of this NOV, as well as the facility number.
