Dear Permittee:
Upon review of the Non-compliance Reporting records by staff from the Wilmington Regional Office
(WIRO) of the Division of Water Resources (DWR), it was determined that this facility was not in
compliance in regards to maintaining the waste level in a lagoon/storage pond to not exceed the
maximum level specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). We wish
to thank you for your cooperation and sending these records.
As a result of this incident, you are hereby notified that, having been permitted to have a
non-discharge permit for the subject animal waste management system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2T
.1304, you have been found to be in violation of your CAWMP and the Swine Waste System General
Permit No. AWG100000 as follows:
Deficiency 1:
Failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage pond greater than or equal to that required in
Condition V.2 of General Permit No. AWG100000.
On May 30, 2018, staff from the Regional Office received notification of the subject farm's lagoon being
out of compliance with the designed freeboard levels specified in the facility's CAWMP. Lagoon 1 has a
designed freeboard level of 19.5 inches. The level reported to DWR May 30, 2018 was 17 inches.
You are required to provide a written response within 30 days of receipt of this Notice.
Please include in your response all corrective actions already taken and a schedule for completion of

Dear Morelia Sanchez King:
On May 30, 2018 1 contacted Sam Edwards, Environmental Specialist,to report that my lagoon was at
17.0 inches after receiving an excessive amount of rain fall on 5/28 and 5/29.
We completed a 30 day POA to assure my agronomic balances were within acceptable ranges to facilitate
getting back in compliance by irrigating onto existing sprayfields. 1 began irrigating the following week
and was back in compliance by 6/6/18.
Since then, I have continued to monitor the weather and irrigated to gain additional freeboard.
I will continue to pump,when appropriate,in anticipation of upcoming tropical storm/hurricane season.
Sincerely,
John Blosser
