NOTICE OF DISCHARGE OF ANIMAL WASTE
On January 27, 2023, Farm 7692, facility number 09-129, located at 11486 Old
Fayetteville Road, Fayetteville, NC experienced a discharge of swine wastewater.
The treated wastewater originated from a failed weld on a HDPE pipe used to carry
recycle water from the lagoon to the animal houses for cleaning. The discharge was
discovered around 2:25 pm and farm personnel took immediate steps to stop and
contain the wastewater and begin remediation by returning the wastewater to the
farm's permitted system. It was estimated that approximately 29,100 gallons of
wastewater escaped a secondary containment structure and entered a ditch that
leads to a beaver pond along Little Turnbull Creek that leads to Turnbull Creek. The
NCDEQ Division of Water Resources was notified of the inciden taround 4:45 pm.
Remediation efforts continued throughout the weekend.To prevent future discharges
of this type, all repairs and installations of HDPE pipe will be pressure tested before
being placed in operation, farm personnel will be retrained on daily inspections of
pipes and on procedures for managing secondary containments.
This notice was required by North Carolina General Statutes Article 21 Chapter
143.215.10C(h)(2). For more information
