John Hope Farm #3 Lagoon 1
Animal Waste Management System
Sampson County
The Division of Water Resources received your sludge survey information on September 05, 2023.
With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement for the
lagoon 1 at John Hope Farm #3 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
for lagoon 1 until December 31, 2028.
The next sludge survey for the lagoon 1 at John Hope Farm #3 should be performed before
December 31, 2028. Please retain this letter and keep it with your farm records for reference.
Please call me at [phone] if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
DocuSigned by:
