Dear Mr. Billups:
Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director
Division of Water Quality
On 11122106, you or an employee of your farm notified the Fayetteville Regional Office
Division of Water Quality, as required by the Swine Waste Management General Permit
NCA200000 Section III 11(e) that the freeboard level of the lagoon was 19.0 inches, which is
less than the minimum required. The General Permit states "The maximum waste level in
lagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the facility's CAWMP. At a minimum,
maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides
adequate storage to contain the 25 -year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional one (1) foot of
structural freeboard...".
We appreciate your cooperation in self -reporting high freeboards and providing records.
Please bear in mind that high freeboards must be reported by phone, email, fax, or personal
contact within 24 hours. Plans of Action (POAs) must be filed within 24 hours for structural and
48 hours for storm storage high freeboards. They EXPIRE after five (5) days for structural and
thirty (30) days for storage high freeboards. At that time, the situation should be resolved or,
upon request, the Division may grant extensions for adverse conditions.
Required Corrective Action:
At this time, the incident is closed. The Division strongly recommends that you
review your facilities and procedures with the goal of eliminating future high freeboards,
which could lead to mandatory review of your Waste Utilization Plan by a Technical
Specialist, Notices of Violation or civil penalties in the future if freeboard noncompliance
remains an issue.

Dear Mr. Priest:
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
Gregory J. Thorpe, Ph.D.
Acting Director
Division of Water Quality
On October 18, 2001, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality received a citizen complaint concerning waste water being sprayed onto the highway right
of way. The investigation revealed that some drift from the spray area was being carried onto the
dirt road adjacent to the pull along the road right of way. In conversation with Mr. Jamie Priest, it
was decided that due to the wind picking up, the irrigation reel at that location should be turned
off until conditions were more favorable.
We also discussed that irrigation events on this pull should be monitored to ensure that the
gun is throwing more to the interior of the field to avoid this in the future. It was not found that
this was done intentionally. It was a case of the wind picking up after the irrigation equipment had
been turned on.
