NOTICE OF VIOLATION NOV-2009-PC-0085 RESPONSE
Campbell Soup Supply Company Spray Irrigation
Permit WQ0003626 •
Maxton, North Carolina
Campbell Soup Supply Company and Branch Residuals & Soils has prepared the following
response concerning the above referenced Notice of Violation (NOV 2009-PC-0085) dated
February 9, 2009 (Attachment I). The NOV describes three observations and the required
corrective actions as determined by the NCDENR. In addition to the 'implementation of the
corrective actions for the observations, the Division of Water Quality has requested an explanation
of how these conditions occurred and the steps that are being taken to prevent reoccurrence. The
complaints included ill' the NOV are addressed below.
Violation I: Failure to meet the Operation and Maintenance Requirements within Section II (3)
On Friday January 30, 2009 the NC DWQ during a routine field inspection observed two areas of
runoff fi-orn field(s) D & E caused by ground saturation ofwastewater in both fields allowing the
wasteWater to pond and runoff The runoff from these fields ran together into a ditch 'that runs.
along Oxendine School Road.
•
Explanation of the Condition:
Campbell Soup Company is investing in the clean out of the perimeter ditches, including a ditch
parallel to Oxendine School Road. Inadvertently, an existing natural drainage way that lies between,
Fields D.and E was compromised with a barrier which prevented rainwater discharge to the ditch.

Campbell Soup Spray Irrigation Permit WQ0003626
NCDENR — DWQ NOV-2009-PC-085 Response March 6, 2009
As the surface water in this area increased, the problem was recognized and a new ditch was cut to
relieve the ponded surface water. Work on this ditch and a subsequent pipe was not completed until
a small portion of Field D and a portion of Field E had been impacted with standing water. The
end of this ditch was 100 feet from the edge; of the sprayed wetted area, the permitted buffer.
However, after the surface water had backed up, the ponded area had grown and encroached upon
the wetted portion of Field E. Further grading was performed to alleviate this issue, however
ponded water moved to the side of Field D. While on -site personnel were instructed to plug the end
guns of the D and E field pivots to avoid the ponded area, this directive was misinterpreted as a
temporary condition and the end guns were put back in operation.
Prevention Activities:
Campbell Soup Company's grading efforts will continue until the ponding issue is resolved.
Campbell Soup personnel have been instructed to plug the end guns of the pivots of Fields D and E.
Campbell Soup Company has implemented a new daily management worksheet that requires
personnel to review the spray fields every two hours during the day. Campbell Soup Company will
continue to use a pasture renovator and other agricultural practices to increase the infiltration rate in
our fields.
Violation II: Failure to meet Operation and Maintenance Requirements within Section II (5).
On Friday January 30, 2009 during a routine field inspection the NC DWQ observed that fields D
& E did not have an acceptable vegetative crop.
Explanation of the Condition:
The areas noted above were planted with a small grain cover crop at the same time all of the spray
fields were over -seeded. Unfortunately these areas were recently ponded as explained previously.
The ponded areas were then subjected to grading activities to reshape these areas to prevent the
continued ponding of either surface water or spray effluent.
Prevention Activities:
Campbell Soup Company will take the necessary steps to provide an acceptable vegetative crop for
the spray site.

NCDENR — DWQ NOV-2009-PC-085 Response
March 6, 2009
Campbell is using and will continue to use a pasture renovator to increase the infiltration in areas
where we are observing standing water and poor infiltration. As soon as grading activities are
complete and the area has dried sufficiently vegetative over will be re-established. Campbell Soup
Company intends to work with the North Carolina Department of Agriculture_ on the development
of a plan to provide a .vegetative cover, which explores the options available, suitability to the site
and seasonal application rates.
Violation HI: Failure -to meet Operation and Maintenance Requirement Section _II (6).
On Friday January 30, 2009 the NC DWQ during a routine filed inspection two areas of runoff
from fields(s) D & E were observed. In addition, during a follow-up field audit inspection on
Wednesday February 4, 2009 field(s) D & E had run off on the same two areas.
Explanation of the Condition:
Campbell Soup Company is investing in the cleanout of the perimeter ditches: Inadvertently, an.
existing natural drainage way that lies between Fields D and E was compromised with a barrier
preventing rainwater discharge to the ditch., As the surface water in this area increased, the problem
was recognized and a new ditch was cut to relieve the ponded surface water. Work on this ditch and
a. subsequent pipe was not completed until a small portion of Field D and a portion of Field . E had
been impacted with standing water. The end of this ditch was 100 feet from the edge of the sprayed
,'wetted area, the permitted buffer. However, after the surface water had backed up, the ponded area
had grown and encroached upon the wetted portion of Field E. Further grading was performed to
alleviate this issue, however ponded water moved to the side of Field D. While on -site personnel
were instructed to plug the end guns of the D and E field pivots to avoid the ponded area, this
directive was misinterpreted as a temporary condition and the end guns were put back in operation.
Prevention Activities:
Campbell Soup Company's grading efforts will continue until the ponding issue is resolved.
Campbell Soup personnel have been instructed to plug the end guns of the pivots of Fields D and E.
Campbell Soup Company has implemented 'a new daily, management worksheet that requires
personnel to review the spray fields every two hours during the day. Campbell Soup Company will
continue. to use a pasture renovator and other agricultural practices to increase the infiltration rate in
our fields.

Sprayfield Pumps
• The pumps are widely cycling on and off multiple times over several minutes.
• Follow-up: Troubleshoot the clearwell and sprayfield'pit pumps and return its operation back to
design intent
Lightening
• A problem that has plagued the new control system is lightening strikes: _There was consensus that
we needed to investigate best practices for grounding the'pivots and the buildings of the sprayfields
including the incoming power.
• Follow-up:. Immediately grounding of the pump building and the compressor buildings can
proceed. Discuss grounding issueswith Valley regarding the center pivots and proceed based on
their recommendation.
System Requirement #2:. Ability to control the'application of water to the fields
I. The time each field is operated daily must be recorded and be automatically limited
II. Water application must be controlled between on/off in variable, manually set, quadrants of each
field
III. Variable application in sections of a quadrant is desirable but deemed impractical by the group
• Consensus was reached that the requirements to control the application of water -to the fields could
be achieved if the reliability concerns were resolved.
System Requirement #3: Ability to measure the volume of water applied to each field. each day
• If system requirements #1 and #2 are achieved, one can manually calculate the volume of water.
• The flow meters. work today but flows do not consistently add up. A working control system would
allow for instant, side.by side comparisons of the data and quick resolution of any flow
discrepancies. , .
• _Follow-up: after delivering system requirements #1 and #2, resolve flow discrepancy problem.
Path Forward:
• John Talton, Bob Zimmerman, and Tom Braydich will talk with the appropriate leadership to ensure
that this effort is expedited.
• Tony Phillips will be. the lead engineer to develop engineering solutions to the equipment issues.
• Bob Zimmerman will be the lead environmental manager for developing solutions.
e Jimmy. Hunt will be the electrician that will be staffed to make repairs as identified by Tony
• As Tony and Jimmy dictate, others (Kelly T. and others) will be utilized to drive specific issues.
• Every 2 weeks, the group will meet to review progress.
• John Talton and Bob Zimmerman will obtain the capital to make the above repairs on an expedited'
process. Initial target is for A, C, D, and E to be.repaired by August, 2009 and the remaining fields
by. January 2010.

Sprayfield Control Improvement
An internal review of the Maxton Sprayfield Controls was held on February 19th. Participants:
Tom Braydich: Director of Electrical and Maintenance Systems Engineering, WHQ
Tony Phillips: Sr. Engineer, Electrical Control Systems Engineering, WHQ
Bob Zimmerman: Environmental Project Manager, WHQ
Butch Brown: Maintenance and Power Systems Manager, Maxton
Hope Walters: Area Manager, Utilities and Environment, Maxton
Kelly Terwillinger: Project Engineer, Maxton
John Talton: Manager of Engineering, Maintenance and Reliability, Maxton
Requirements for the sprayfield controls are:
1. The system must reliably apply the water to agricultural fields
2. The system must control the water application to the fields
3. The system must record the amount of water applied to the fields.
System Requirement #1: The system must reliably apply waste water to agricultural fields
To accomplish this, the following is needed:
• automatic and reliable valves going to the pivots/sprayfields
• automatic capability to turn the pivot drives on/off
• the system must operate within a reasonable range - i.e. 60 to 90 psi, to be defined
• the sprayfield pumps and all pumps throughout the system must operate within a normal duty cycle
- the pumps must not cycle on and off
• a common control system is required to control the valves, pivots, and pumps.
There are several equipment issues that must be resolved to achieve the above:
• The actuators for the control valves to the fields do not work requiring them to be manually
opened/closed.
• The wireless control system for the pivots is unreliable requiring pivots to be manually turned on/off.
• Failure in the valves and control system contributes to widely varying pressures as pumps kick
on/off. This has led to pipe failures.
• The pumps in the pit at the field rapidly cycle on/off which will lead to poor reliability.
Valves
• Consensus that the actuators on the supply valves for the center pivots are the problems and not
the, valves.
• Consensus that the valves should just open and close - not modulate.
• The compressor for the air actuators valves supplying I & J field is not working
• Follow-up: Identify options for replacing the actuators. Purchase and install based on
demonstrated industry performance. For I & J fields, repair the compressor and develop a manual
way for controlling valves until control system is repaired.
Control System
• Consensus was reached to abandon the wireless communication system because of the high rate
of failure of the system.
• We will seek an industry standard control system vs the custom designed system.
• The manufacturer of the pivots, Valley, has a standard 'smart pivot with GPS' control system that
appears to meet our needs.
• Follow-up: Review Valley option. Purchase and install based off demonstrated performance. If
deemed un-reliable, develop and install custom engineered system that does not use wireless
communication.
Pressure Control
• Consensus was reached that if the valves and control system on the pivots were reliable, the
system could be designed to operate within a reasonable pressure range - i.e. 60 to 90 psi.
• Follow-up: Correct valve and control system issues above. Install a pressure transmitter at the
Pump House to monitor system pressure performance.

Daily Management of Fields
Improvement Plan and Associated Timelines:
Campbell Soup expects to be in compliance with all spray activities. The following will
be done to ensure this:
1) ' Clarify daily expectations. (see attached Spray Field Daily Worksheet) (March
2009)
• Fields must be checked, every two hours for run off. ,
• Run off of any kind is not permitted and must be stopped immediately .
• Implement necessary procedures necessary to divert the flow that is
causing the run off (either B Field or. another spray field)
• Use appropriate equipment (backhoe, tractor, etc.) to dam the run off
point.
• . Use portable pump to move ponding liquids to another field or a drier
area of the same field.
• Operator in Responsible Charge must,be consulted if fields are classified
as "Very Wet:", before they can be sprayed on. -
• Buffer zones must be maintained.
If Field B can not utilized due to construction activities, the flow will be diverted to
another spray field. Campbell's Soup will keep the Fayetteville Regional Office
informed as to the problems that occur and our efforts to .solve them..
2) Operator in Responsible Charge reviews the fields and daily worksheets for
compliance. (March 2009)
• Conduct daily meetings that will cover equipment needs, 'changes at the
plant, field that will be used in case of run off or emergency.
• Attend plant operations meetings daily to give updates on spray field
operations ad receive flow expectations from production.
• Develop test plots to determine the best Vegetative crop to be planted to
absorb water (excessive water tends to stunt crops)
3) Develop and implement plans to improve operations
• Increase number, of operators that are certified from three to five.
(September 2010)
• Hire an electrician (June 2009) • Put in work order system for Maintenance (June 2009)
• Utilize temporary staffing as necessary (April 2009)
