Mocksville DCAR
Permit No. Wg0039552
Davie County
Dear Mr. Gamble:
On May 23, 2023, Division of Water Resources staff Caitlin Caudle conducted a routine
compliance inspection. Brent Collins, EMA Resources, was present during the entire
inspection. A review of storage structures, hauling and application equipment, application
field, and records was complete. This review reflected noncompliance with the subject
permit. The following deficiency was noted:
A. At the time of inspection, residuals were visible on the ground surface leading to a
storm drain. Staff located the outlet of the storm drain and found residuals in
approximately 100ft of the ditch. Per Permit Condition 111.1 the Permittee shall
operate and maintain the residuals management program as a non -
discharge system. Residuals were removed from the storm ditch by May 27,
2023. Moving forward, boom or socks may need to be placed around the
storm drain to prevent future residuals discharges.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional comments and observations.
If you have any questions, please contact me or Caitlin Caudle at the letterhead address
and phone number, or by email at lon.snider(c)-deg.nc.gov or Caitlin.caudle(c�deg.nc.gov.

Inspection Summary:
On May 23, 2023, Division of Water Resources staff Caitlin Caudle conducted a routine compliance inspection. Brent
Collins, EMA Resources, was present during the entire inspection. A review of storage structures, hauling and application
equipment, application field, and records was complete. This review reflected noncompliance with the subject permit. The
following deficiency was noted:
A. At the time of inspection, residuals were visible on the ground surface leading to a storm drain. Staff located the outlet of
the storm drain and found residuals in approximately 100ft of the ditch. Per Permit Condition 111.1 the Permittee shall
operate and maintain the residuals management program as a non -discharge system. Residuals were removed from the
storm ditch by May 27, 2023. Moving forward, boom or socks may need to be placed around the storm drain to prevent
future residuals discharges.
Other observations:
• Residuals were being applied to fields DC-08-05 and 06 in the WQ0010583 Davie Co RLAP Permit. If the fields are
already permitted, no Utilization Agreement is acquired. The landowner will be provided with a summary of nutrients applied
after activities are completed.
• The fields are going to be planted in pearl millet. PAN for DV-08-05 is 167 for pearl millet hay, and 198 for DV-08-06.
• A sludge judge is used to make a composite sample.
• The application rate was 3x6200 gallon tanker/ac, with --6lbs PAN/6200 gallons.
• The Class B application map was used, and Class A buffers were maintained.
