Dear Mr. Jessup:
On June 28, 1999, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the
Division of Water Quality inspected the Robert Jessup swine farm # 1. it
was determined that several areas of the waste application fields # 3 and
# 4 had a significant problem with competition grasses (primarily crabgrass)
which has resulted in a poor stand of bermuda.
In regard to the deficiencies noted during the inspection, the
following actions are requested:
1. Contact a technical specialist for information in regard to the control
and or removal of the grass competition and to evaluate the bermuda
stand.
Nothing in this letter should be taken as absolving this facility of the

these deficiencies.
