Inspection Summary:
DWR went on site to survey the lagoon because the lagoon marker seemed to be off, the lagoon appeared to be much higher
then what the marker is reading. The marker was showing 14.5 inches, and after DWR surved we determeined the freeboard
marker is off by 8 incehs so the lagoon level is actualy 6.5 inches. Michael is getting a 5 day POA in place since he is actually in
structure and is going to pump his lagoon down today. DWR will follow up on the status of the lagoon.
This farm has no pigs and no current contract to have pigs.
