The Division of Water Resources(Division)received your sludge survey information on May 16,
2023. With the survey results,you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement for
the lagoon at the Tommy Stone Farm facility. Due to the amount of treatment volume available,
and the rate of sludge accumulation for the lagoon,the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not
needed until December 31, 2027.
The next sludge survey for the lagoon at Tommy Stone Farm should be performed before
December 31, 2027. Please retain this letter and keep it with your farm records for reference.
Please call me at [phone] if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
