Dear Rebecca H. Ward:
The Division of Water Resources (Division) received your sludge survey information on
September 15, 2023. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey
requirement for the Lagoon at the Homestead Farms, Inc #2 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, 2028.
The next sludge survey for the Lagoon at Homestead Farms, Inc #2 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,
Miressa D. Garoma
