On February 16 and 17, 2021 DWR staff inspected the site. Michael Norris of Murphy -Brown and other staff were present. We wish to thank them for their cooperation and assistance. As a result of these inspections, you are hereby notified that, having been permitted to have a non - discharge permit for the subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2T .1304, you have been found to be in violation of your permit as follows: Violation 1: Failure to prevent discharge of waste to surface waters or wetlands by using a manmade conveyance. N.C.G.S. 143-215.10C - (Permit No. AWG200000 Section Conditions I 1). On February 16, 2021 around 7:30 pm, Mike Norris reported a discharge of waste from a containment area into the woods. DWR staff conducted a site visit around 9:20pm and documented with pictures that waste had bypassed the secondary containment area through an open valve. The valve was open to release the rain water, and farm staff did not realize that a discharge pipe was plugged and caused the waste to overflow into the storm drainage system. Mr. Norris calculated that approximately 800 gallons of waste did reach Gilmore Swamp. Norr! Carol.

Sequence of Events: 1) The farm manager called LNM staff about 5:00 pm on Tuesday evening 2/16/2021 to report a spill and that water had gone through secondary containment. The farm manager had closed off the secondary containment and was working to contain the spill until LNM staff arrived. 2) When LNM arrived they took a tractor and put in a dam in a ditch below the secondary containment to contain and stop the flow from entering the woods. 3) Recovery pumps were brought in and set up at the furthest point that could be reached. At this location we constructed a dam and began pumping water back to the sites lagoon. A second pump was setup at the first dam in the ditch and water was returned to the sites lagoon. 4) It was determined that some of the water was past our furthest dam and reached Gilmore swamp. 5) Remediation efforts began at around 6pm and continued through the night. Remediation efforts were continued the following day until all of the water contained was returned to the sites lagoon. 6) Steve Guyton with DWR came out to inspect the incident and recovery efforts that night and again the following morning. Estimate of discharge: A) It is estimated that from the time the site was last inspected to the time the spill was found the maximum amount of water lost from the buildings was 5,600 gallons. We estimate that no more than 800 gallons of that amount was lost past our dams and not recovered. Plan for corrective actions from this accidental discharge: 1) Have staff routinely check the secondary containment during the time it is open to allow draining fresh water until the time that it can be closed • Page 2 Attachments: February 18, 2021 A) Included with this letter is a copy of the most current waste analysis as required by the permit. I have outlined all currently available information about this incident. Smithfield staff has responded in an appropriate and responsible manner in accordance with our Environmental Management System emergency response plan and in keeping with our responsibilities under the state permit. Our Environmental Management System (EMS) proved its' effectiveness by providing the structure and protocol that all parties involved in the response and ensuring, that they did so in a timely and effective manner.
