Dear Thomas Melvin:

The Division of Water Resources received your sludge survey information on September 24, 2024. Curtis Barwick submitted survey results on your behalf and requested an extension of the
sludge survey requirement for the Lagoon 1 at the Thomas Melvin Farm #2 facility. Due to the amount of treatment volume available, and the rate of sludge accumulation, the Division
feels that an extension is not appropriate for the lagoon at this facility.

The next sludge survey for the Lagoon 1 at Thomas Melvin Farm #2 facility should be performed before December 31, 2024. Please retain this letter and keep it with your farm records for
reference.

Please call me at [phone] if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
Melissa Abbott
