Dear Mr. Adams:
On May 28, 1997, June 1, 1997, and June 2, 1997, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office
of the Division of Water Quality inspected the following company swine facilities: Edge Sow
Farm, Singletary Farm, Squires Fara, Edge Farm;'Evergreen Farm, Fox Fire Farms, 242 Sow
Farm, Bladen Sow Farm, Cain Complex, and French's Creek Farms. It was observed that the
record keeping of the waste applications was either inaccurate or incomplete due to an out of
date waste analysis sample. The most recent sample collection date at the time of the inspections
was January 3, 1997.
Please be aware that waste analysis samples must be collected within 60 days either before or
after waste application to comply with the certified animal waste management plan and the
General Permit .
Nothing in this letter should be taken as absolving this facility of the responsibility and liability
of any violations that have or may result from these deficiencies.

Dear Bob:
RECEzrV E,
APR 2 7 1998
REG. 0�FjaE
The purpose for my letter is to request that you rescind the NOV's issued for Evergreen,
Peters Creek, and Lisbon farms and the Bladen Boar Stud. After researching the facts, I
submit that the deficiencies you found are more appropriate for an NOD. The reasons
supporting my request are detailed by farm as follows:
Bladen Boar Stud
The irrigation system has been designed and flagged in the field and is awaiting
installation by Mr. Billy Hall. Because of the low number of animals at this facility and
the fact that there is currently 32" of freeboard in the new lagoon, we have not made
irrigation installation and crop establishment a high priority due to other more pressing
situations to manage. Sufficient irrigation equipment, though not on the farm, is owned
by our company and could be moved to the farm within one hour to handle irrigation if
required. The reason a crop has not been established is due to the fact that coastal sprigs
will likely die in that sandy soil unless we can irrigate them (water and nutrients)
regularly during any dry weather. Until recently there has not been sufficient lagoon
volume to warrant sprigging.
Evergreen Sow Farm
There are 26 cow/calf pairs stocked on this farm. It is impractical and expensive to move
cattle around chasing the explosive growth of rye that commonly occurs in April of every
year. Even on farms where cattle are, we harvest rye for hay where there is sufficient
quantity and this is planned for Evergreen.
Over application of Nz is a function of El Nino's excessive rainfall as we demonstrated
during our meeting on Tuesday, April 14, 1998. This is a natural phenomenon that is out
of our control and 1 feel it is unreasonable to penalize us.
Post Office Box 759, Rose Hill, North Carolina 28458, [phone], FAX [phone]

The ponding was a result of rainfall rather than irrigation over -application. A tint to the
puddle indicating effluent probably was a result of the rain washing prior irrigated
effluent into the depressed area.
The inside slope of the lagoon dike will get some attention.
Lisbon 1 & 2 Sow Farms
The freeboard was approximately 15 inches which is a direct result of excess rainfall.
The coastal Bermuda stand is difficult to assess in the spring when it is mostly dormant,
especially for a new stand. These farms were sprigged just last year and because the
stand is new, weed growth is normal. As of today, the weeds have been sprayed and rye
has been cut and these management practices were planned prior to your inspection.
Michael Norris or John Bizic will call you to request that you have another look at the
stand.
The other deficiencies that you noted are already corrected.
Peters Creek
The lagoon had approximately 11 inches of freeboard because of excess rainfall. My
position on over -application of nitrogen has been stated earlier. Where the matua stand
has died out, sudan grass has just been planted and the WUP reflects this fact.
Thanks in advance for your consideration of this request. I am,

Dear Dr. Boyd:
On April 8, 1998, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the
Division of Water Quality conducted an annual inspection of your swine
41
located off SR 1319 in Bladen County. The inspection resulted in the
issuance of a Notice of Violation for the violations observed.
Y ... =-.
After further review and consideration of the violations, the Division
w _
has determined that the NOV is hereby rescinded to a Notice of Deficiency.
This determination is the result of the consideration for the unseasonally
heavy rainfall (El Nino) that occurred in the months of December thru
=1
February. The problems in the Notice should be corrected as required prior
-
to a reinspection by the Division.

Dear' Dr. Boyd:
You are hereby notified that, having been deemed permitted to have a
non discharge permit for the subject animal waste disposal system pursuant
to 15A NCAC 2H.0217, you have been found to be in violation of your 2H
0217 Permit.
On April 8, 1998, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the
Division of Water Quality conducted an annual inspection of your swine
farm located off SR 1319 in Bladen County. The inspection revealed that
the winter crop (small grain) requires removal to prevent damage to
bermuda grass due to inadequate number of cattle grazing the facility, that
the facility has over applied nitrogen on the small grain crop by 50 to 60
pounds, that waste was ponding in a depressional area of spray field, and the
inside slope of the lagoon dike needs a cover grass established to prevent
erosion.

The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed-
1.
ddressed:
l. Immediately remove the rye overseed to prevent damage to the bermuda grass stand by
mechanical means or place an adequate herd of cattle on the facility to graze the rye
overseed.
2. Modify the spray fields or remove the depressional areas in the spray fields from the
CAWMP to prevent ponding of waste.
3. Establish a suitable cover grass on the inside slope of the lagoon dike down to the pump
on level to prevent erosion of the structure.
4. Curtail the application of waste on the spray fields to prevent overapplication of plant
available nitrogen (PAI) when the rate approved in the CAWMP has been met.
Please be advised that this notice does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking
enforcement actions for this violation or any past or future violation. Furthermore, the Division
of Water Quality has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000.00 per day per
violation.
Please provide a written response to this office on or before May 15, 1998, regarding
corrective actions taken or planned. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do
not hesitate to contact either myself or Mr. Robert Heath, Environmental Specialist, at (910) 486-

Dear Mr. Murphy:
On June 15, 1999, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality performed an inspection of the Evergreen Farm located in Bladen Co.
The inspection revealed that the record keeping is being kept by field, but not all the

misleading balance on the amount of nitrogen applied to the field.
In regard to the deficiency(s) noted during the inspection, the following actions
are requested:
1. If records are going to be kept by field, the entire field must be covered
before calculating nitrogen balance. Or the records can be kept by routines
or pulls with an IRR -2 form for each routine or pull.
Please provide a written response to this office on or before July 7 1999 as to

Dear Murphy Family Farms:
In accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.10G, all animal operations who receive an animal
waste management system permit will be charged in each year of the term an annual permit fee. Annual permit fees are
billed following the issuance of the permit and then annually thereafter on the anniversary of that date. Your animal waste
management system permit was issued on 6/1/98.
Your annual permit fee for the period of 6/l/98 - 5/31/99 is $200.00. Your payment was due 8/7/98. Because
this fee was not fully paid within 30 days after being billed, this letter initiates action to revoke the subject permit,
pursuant to 15 NCAC 2H.0205 (c) (4). and G.S. 143-215.1 (b) (3).
Effective 60 days from receipt of this notice, the subject permit is hereby revoked unless the required Annual
Animal Waste Management System Permit fee for your animal operation is received within that time. Operation of an
animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and is
subject to the assessment of a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day. Your payment should be sent to:

Dear Mr. Hasty:
In response to your June 16, 1999 letter regarding record keeping at the Evergreen Farm, we will
begin waiting until the entire field is covered and then enter the total gallons applied to the field on our
IRR -2 forms. We as a rule calibrate and set our irrigation equipment to apply the desired amount, e.g. 0.6
inch, and stay consistent across the field, slightly adjusting travel speed only when necessary. If we do not
hear back from you, I'll assume no further action is necessary. Thank you.

RE: Notice of Deficiencies for Facilities 9-5, 9-198, 9-199, 9-27, 9-167
SEP # J) 2600
Dear Mr. Heath:
In response to your August 22ntl, 2000 letters concerning the August 15 -17 visits to these sites
you noted a deficiency on each; we wish to respond and ask you to consider the following:
1) At French's Creek (9-5), Pinnacle (9-193), Pine View (9-199), and Evergreen (9-27), you
noted that one or more of the spray fields had competition with other grasses and/or weeds.
We sprayed these bermuda fields earlier this summer with 24D broadleaf weed herbicide.
We are unsure what, if anything, we can spray to control other grasses. Of these farms,
only Evergreen is grazed, and the nitrogen rate (i 50 & 180 Lbs.) for the fields in question
given by technical specialist Kraig Westerbeek is low to reflect a stand of mixed bermuda,
fescue, and native grasses. The other farms have very low nitrogen concentrations in the
lagoons, making it impossible to optimally fertilize the bermuda; however, across the fields
green summer grasses are growing and have been baled and removed at a nitrogen rate
greater than or equal to our applications.
2) At Bladen Boar (9-167), we experimented with an alternative crop of field peas in response
to previous unsuccessful attempts to grow Bermuda. The reason crop establishment is
difficult is that by nature and design the small boar studs use a relatively low amount of
water and therefore require a low amount of wastewater to be irrigated. The field peas we
planted this year came up beautifully and then, due to the isolation of this site and being
surrounded by woodland bays, deer grazed the crop to the ground. Due to the health status
of this farm, dry litter from another farm is not an option. Our plan is to seed rye this winter.
Freeboard is currently 39". We will consider any improvements you suggest.
3) We have tentatively set up a meeting on October 4"' with Dr. Jim Green of NCSU, Regional
Agronomist Rick Morris, CES, and also invite your staff along with SWC to discuss what
can and should be done to improve bermuda stands on several farms in the Bladen area.
Kathy Dugan is organizing the agenda.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact John Bizic at 910-289-6439.
Sincerely,
John Bizic
