The investigation revealed that poultry litter had been applied on three parcels of property owned by you (according to the Sampson County GIS database). Visible amounts of poultry litter were discovered at the property line and some litter was scattered across the. common property line with your property and those properties along Hardy Lane. Also on your property there exists two water supply wells (see attached map and photos) that had poultry litter applied up to the well pads. The two wells in question appear to have been associated with prior residences on the property, based upon the debris piles within the fenced area of the property and utility services still present (see attached photos). The two wells appear to be out of service and if so need to be properly abandoned in accordance with Subchapter 2C Section-.0100 Well Construction Standards (pertinent parts enclosed). A copy of this letter and documentation will be forwarded to the Sampson County Health Department for their use in determining compliance with their well standards or' ordinances. In accordance with North Carolina laws and rules addressing litter management, the Division of Water Quality is requesting that you submit to our office the following information to determine if further action is required to address this complaint: 1). Provide the name, contact number and address of the farm or farms that generated the litter; 2). Provide a copy of the Poultry Dry Litter Management Plan from the farm or individual that You received the litter from (if the litter came from a third party hauler, provide the name of the company and a contact number and address); 3).

In consideration of this, water supply wells may be cased to a depth less than twenty feet in the following areas: (1) in Currituck County in an area between the sound and a line beginning at the end of SR 1130 near Currituck Sound, thence north to the end of SR 1133, thence north to the end of NC 136 at the intersection with the sound; (2) on the Outer Banks from the northern corporate limit of Nags Head, south to Ocracoke Inlet; (3) all areas lying between the Intracoastal Waterway and the ocean from New River Inlet south to New Topsail Inlet; and (4) all areas lying between the Intracoastal Waterway and the ocean from the Cape Fear River south to the South Carolina line.

To designate such areas, the Director shall find: (1) that the only or best source of drinking water in the area exists between a depth of 10 and 20 feet below the surface of the land; and (2) at utilization of this source of water in the area is in the best interest of the public. (c) In all other areas, the source of water shall be at least 20 feet below land surface, except when adequate quantities of potable water cannot be obtained below a depth of 20 feet, the source of water may be obtained from unconsolidated rock formations at depths less than 20 feet provided that: (1) sufficient water of acceptable quality for the intended use can be shown, to the satisfaction of the Department that it is not available to a minimum depth of 50_ feet; (2) the proposed source of water is the maximum feasible depth above 20 feet, but in no case less than 10 feet; and (3) the regional office of the Department is notified prior to the construction of a well obtaining water from a depth between 10 and 20 feet below land surface.
