RE: Tier Two Monthly Discharge Report
Tyson Farms, Inc.
Monroe, Union County, North Carolina
General Permit Number: NCG06000
Dear Sir/Madam:
Per the requirements of General Permit No. NCG060000, enclosed are two copies of the monthly
discharge report for outfall #007 at the Tyson Farms, Inc. (Tyson) facility in Monroe, NC.
On December 8, 2021 a sample event took place at all three facility outfalls for the required constituents.
At the time, Tyson sent samples to Environmental Chemists, Inc. rather than the lab we traditionally use,
(PAR laboratories) due to the hold time for fecal samples and transportation logistics. Sample results
showed that Outfalls 7 and 10 exceeded benchmark requirements for Fecal Coliform. Environmental
Chemists used method, SM 9222 D 2015 MF, while PAR laboratories uses SM 9222 D 2006. Historical data
show that Outfalls 7, 9, 10 do not typically have benchmark exceedances for Fecal. Tyson believes these
results are a lab error due to the lab's selected standard method. Environmental Chemists denied our
request to resample using the requested sampling method, SM 9222 D 2006. Split samples were sent for
analysis, aside from fecal coliform, to compare Environmental Chemists' results to other certified labs in
the area. Data showed that Environmental Chemists' results were one hundred times higher than the
other two labs. Comparative results can be provided if necessary. Tyson will not use Environmental
Chemists for analysis of future sample events. Attached are the results from the December 8, 2021
sampling event.
If you have any questions, please contact me at [phone] or via email at [e-mail].
