Farm 2046 Facility No. 82-464, Permit No. AWS820464
Incident number 202101 104
Bladen County
Dear Murphy -Brown, LLC.:
On February 16, 2021 staff of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR), Water Quality Regional
Operations Section (WQROS), received a phone call with regard to a discharge at the farm listed above.
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.

Required Corrective Action for Violation 1:
Mr. Norris stated on February 16, 2021 that the plugged discharge pipe had been repaired. In a five-day
response letter, it was stated that the farm employees will routinely check the secondary containment
during the time it is open to allow draining fresh water until the time that is can be closed.
The Division of Water Quality would like to thank Mr. Mike Norris for providing the items listed below,
received at the Fayetteville Regional Office on February 24, 2021. No additional information is needed at

2. A list from the OIC concerning the steps that will be taken to prevent these violations from
occurring in the future.
As a result of the violations in this Notice, this office is considering a recommendation for a civil penalty
assessment to the Director of the Division. If you wish to present an explanation for the violations cited,
or if you believe there are other factors, which should be considered please send such information to me
in writing within ten (10) days followinreceipt of this letter. Your response will be reviewed, and, if an
enforcement action is still deemed appropriate, it will he forwarded to the Director and included for
consideration.
Failure to comply with conditions in a permit may result in a recommendation of enforcement action, to
the Director of the Division of Water Resources who may issue a civil penalty assessment of not more
that twenty-five thousand ($25,000) dollars against any "person" who violates or fails to act in accordance
with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a permit under authority of G.S. 143-215.6A.

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
