Re: Notice of Violation/Notice of Intent
Animal Facility Annual Certification Form
Layton Johnson Fane
NPDES Permit No. NCA209034
Bladen County
Dear Mr. Johnson:
You are hereby notified that, having been permitted to have an animal waste management system
NPDES permit pursuant to NCGS 143-215.1 and Section 402 of the Clean Water Act, you have
been found to be in violation of your permit.
The General NPDES Permit; Condition 111. 12 states:
"An annual certification report shall be filed with the Division's Central Office and
appropriate Regional Office by March 1 of each year for the previous year's activities on
forms provided by the Division. If the facility was not in compliance, the annual
certification must be used to summarize all noncompliance during the previous year,
actions taken or actions proposed to be taken to resolve noncompliance and explain the
current compliance status of the facility."
As of March 30, DWQ in Raleigh had still not received the Annual Certification Form for this
farm.
Required Corrective Action:
Please respond to this request by filling out the attached Annual Certification Form (and sludge
report, if due) for the year 2006 as required by your NPDES permit. To avoid possible
enforcement action for a violation of your permit, return by April 20 to the following address:

Mr. Johnson
Miressa D. Garoma
Division of Water Quality
1636 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1636
Be advised that this office is considering recommending assessment of civil penalties to the
Director of the Division of Water Quality if the Annual Certification Form is not completed and
returned by April 20. The Division of Water Quality has the authority to levy a civil penalty of
not more than $25,000 per day per violation. Information submitted will be reviewed and, if
enforcement is still deemed appropriate, will be forwarded to the Director with the enforcement
package for his consideration.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the
responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statue or permitting
requirement.
Please note that, if you recently requested future coverage under the State Swine Waste
Management System General Permit or have already received coverage under the State
Swine Waste Management System General Permit in 2007, submittal of the 2006 Annual
Certification Report is still required.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact either Joan
Schneier at the Fayetteville Regional Office at [phone] or Miressa D. Garoma at (9I9)
715-6937.

Dear Sir or Madam:
Thank you for your recent submittal of the information requested in our letter dated April 16,
2003. We greatly appreciate the effort that you made in compiling this information and sending
it to our Fayetteville Regional Office by the date required. We also appreciate the fact that you
reported the problem with high freeboard to our staff as required by your permit and worked with
our staff to manage the problem once it occurred.
Upon review and consideration of the information submitted, the Fayetteville Regional Office
has determined that no further compliance/enforcement actions will be taken by the Division for
these high freeboards.
Also, based on your actions to properly operate your facility, the Division of Water Quality
hereby rescinds the Notice of Violation that was issued to you on April 16, 2003, and replaces it
with this Notice of Deficiency.
In the future, please continue to evaluate ways to maintain freeboard levels in the required range.

Dear Sir or Madam:
'Ann -a 3 zZ
On March 7, 2003, a representative of your animal operation informed the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) that there was inadequate freeboard in the lagoon(s) serving this facility.
This lack of adequate freeboard is in non-compliance with the Certificate of Coverage
issued to this facility on January 5, 1998. In addition to this Notice of Violation (NOV), this
non-compliance is subject to an appropriate enforcement action by DWQ. This action can
consist of one or more of the following: a civil or criminal enforcement action; an injunction;
and/or a requirement to apply for coverage under an individual permit. The action chosen will
be based on complete evaluation of all factors that resulted in the inadequate freeboard; the
actions taken to restore the needed freeboard; and the actions being proposed to prevent the
problem from reoccurring.
To assist us in our review, please provide the Fayetteville Regional Office with an
evaluation of the reasons for the freeboard violation(s) and a strategy to prevent future freeboard
violation(s). This evaluation and strategy must include but is not limited to the following:
Current Freeboard level(s)
Freeboard level records in the lagoon(s) for the past 12 months up to the date of submittal
Spraying records for the past 12 months up to the date of submittal
