The Division of Water Resources (Division) received your sludge survey information on October
21, 2022. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement for
Lagoon # 1, #2, & #3 at the Herring Pork Producers facility. Due to the amount oftreatmentvolume
available, and the rate of sludge accumulation for the lagoon, the Division agrees that a sludge
survey is not needed until December 31, 2025 for Lagoon #1 and Lagoon #3 only. However, due
to the amount of treatment volume available, and the rate of sludge accumulation, the Division
feels that an extension is not appropriate for Lagoon #2 at this facility.
The next sludge survey for Lagoon # 1 & #3 at Herring Pork Producers should be performed before
December 31, 2025. The next sludge survey for Lagoon #2 at Herring Pork Producers should be
performed before December 31, 2023. Please retain this letter and keep it with your farm records
for reference.
Please call me at(919) 707-3665 if you have any questions.
