Dean Morris, Bladen Soil and Water Conservation District and Becky Spearman, Extension Livestock Agent, visited with Mr. John Hester on March 2nd to review his waste plan and sprayfields. Rick Morris, NCDA regional agronomist and I visited on March I Ith to look at the fields to burn. Below are recommendations from our visits. We plan to visit the farm in May to observe the bermuda fields while growing and make more recommendations. Below are the recommendations for each field. It is very important to remove the winter overseed in a timely manner so the bermuda grass can green up. They have contacted someone to harvest the overseed in late March or early April. The fescue fields need to be reestablished this fall with KY 31 tall fescue. We recommend using a no -till drill or to broadcast from September l to October 31. Seeding rates are 15-20 lbs/acre for broadcast or 10-15 lbs/acre for drilling, however we recommend increasing the seeding rate to 20- 25 lbstacre for both methods to increase stand establishment. Seeding depth is critical and should be planted 1/4 -'/� inch deep. Use herbicide treatment this May to control summer weeds. Use glyphosate one to two weeks prior to establishing. The fescue fields need to be monitored yearly and allowed to either seed out or reseed areas when the stand becomes weaker. Herbicide control is a critical area that needs to be addressed. A summer broadleaf herbicide needs to be applied to the bermuda fields in May or early June to control pigweed, dogfennel and other warm season weeds. Controlling weeds and decreasing thatch buildup from bushhogging weeds must be managed. The weeds and thatch will hurt bermuda stands. For fields 4, 10 and 11, thatch needs to be removed. Use glyphosate at I quart to the acre now to kill ryegrass and then burn the field when weather conditions allow. Observe weather conditions prior to the burn and consider burning later in the afternoon when the wind dies down. Disc 15' around the edges of the fields as a fire break and contact the fire department about the burn and see if they could come out or be on stand by. These fields will be observed in May to determine what areas need to be filled in with sprigs from other areas of the farm. North Carolina State University and North Carolina A&T University commit themselves to positive action to secure equal opportunity regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, religion, sex, age, veteran status or disability to addition, the two Universities welcome all persons without regard to sexual orientation. North Carolina State University, North Carolina A&T University, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and local governments cooperating. Some whole farm recommendations are to pump when weather conditions are good year round. Maintain lagoon freeboard near the stop pump when able. They can pump 8" below stop pump in the summer to allow extra storage during the rainy season. Sincerely, Becky Spearman Extension Agent Livestock cc: Steve Guyton Dean Morris Rick Morris John Hester Field 9 — bermuda field with overseed. Overseed looks good, but need to remove in a timely manner. The crop should be harvested in April and they plan on lining up someone to cut and bale the hay. There is a hole in the middle of the field which should be filled in with topsoil and sprigged this spring. Fields 5, 12, 4A, and 11 — Fescue. These fields need to be reestablished in the fall. Fill in low areas to reduce ponding and drainage issues. Field 11 should be burned now to remove thatch. Field 3 — bermuda field with overseed. Visit in May to observe this field and determine if the field needs to be reestablished next spring. Harvest overseed crop in a timely manner this April. Field 4 — bermuda field with overseed. Recommend burning now to remove thatch. 4A — Fescue. Field needs to be reestablished in the fall. The field should be bulldozed to even out the field before reestablishment. Field 6 — bermuda with overseed. Fill in areas with bermuda sprigs from field 11 this spring. Field 10 — bermuda with overseed that has not been pumped on. Recommend burning now to remove thatch. Review field in May. Field 8 — bermuda with overseed_ Field looks good. Harvest overseed crop in a timely manner this April. 2 RECEIVED North Carolina Division of Water Quality Aquifer Protection Section MAR 2 9 2011 ATTN: Stephen Barnhardt 225 Green Street, Suite 714 DENR-FAYETTD ALLE REGIONAL OFRCE Fayetteville, North Carolina 28301 Dear Mr. Barnhardt, This letter is part of the corrective action I have taking in regards to the violation that occurred on my farm. We did not move the lagoon marker in lagoon 1 and we had no idea it had been moved until Mr. Guyton came to the farm on February 4, 2011. I'm sure you can imagine how upset we were when we realized we only had 6.6 inches of freeboard. We immediately started transferring waste water from lagoon 1 to lagoon 2 so that we had l l inches in each lagoon. We then hired Triple S Farms February 11, 2011 to use an aerway system to apply the waste to our fields so that we were in compliance and had extra freeboard levels in both lagoons. Since then we have been in compliance and monitor the lagoon levels daily. We have met with Becky Spearman, Dean Morris and Rick Morris to review our waste management plan. We have sprayed Roundup on fields 4, 10 and 11 and plan to do a controlled burn the beginning of April. We will continue to do everything that we possibly can to ensure our lagoons and farm continue to stay in compliance with all rules and regulations.

Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered: (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B -282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the violator; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) whether the violator has been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions. Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in - writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of their decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee).

FINDINGS OF FACT: A. Fox Bay Farm LLC is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of North Carolina. B. Fox Bay Farm LLC owns and operates Fox Bay Farm LLC, a swine animal operation in Bladen County. C. Fox Bay Farm LLC was issued Certificate of Coverage AWS090045 by DWR, under General Permit AWG 100000 for Fox Bay Farm LLC on October 1, 2014, effective upon issuance, with an expiration date of September 30, 2019. D. Condition II.2. of the General Permit AWG100000 states in part that a vegetative cover shall be maintained as specified in the facility's CAWMP on all land application fields and buffers in accordance with the CAWMP. E. On March 9, 2016 it was documented that some effort has been made to clean up spray fields as specified in the review of your CAWMP by Bladen NRCS, Bladen Livestock Agent and Regional Agronomist in 2011. Several fields still remain unusable due to their condition. F. Condition 11. 12. of the General Permit AWG 100000 states in part trees, shrubs, and other woody vegetation shall not be allowed to grow on the lagoon embankments. Lagoons areas shall be accessible, and vegetation shall be kept mowed. G. On March 9, 2016 it was documented that no effort had been made to mow or remove small woody vegetation as requested during your 2015 compliance inspection. 2011 through 2016, DWR staff have noted on inspections that lagoon banks need mowing and small trees removed. Some effort has been made over the years but not enough to comply with the permit. Farm received a Notice of Deficiency for this violation in 2014. No. H. Condition 111.4. of the General Permit AWG 100000 states that "A representative Standard Soil Fertility Analysis, including pH, phosphorus, copper, and zinc, shall be conducted on each application field receiving animal waste in accordance with NCGS 143- 215. 1 0C(e)(6). As of the effective date of this General Permit, the Statute requires that the analysis be conducted at least once every three years. 1. On March 9, 2016 it was documented that no soil analysis was taken in the last 3 years. J. Condition 111.5. of the General Permit AWG100000 states in part that an analysis of a representative sample of the animal waste be conducted within 60 days before or after the date of application in accordance with the CAWMP. K. On March 9, 2016 it was documented that only one waste analysis was taken during 2015 (May 7, 2015). The last sample taken was February 26, 2016. In 2014 the farm received a NOD for failure to have a valid waste analysis for spray events. Records show pumping on Field 4 on July 16; Field 6-2 on August 6, 14, 15, 17 & September 16; Field 8 on August 24, September 10, October 9, & 13; Field 9-1 on August 18, 28; Field 9-2 on August 29 & October 14. L. Condition V.2, of General Permit AWG100000 states that "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 except that there shall be no violation of this condition if: (a) there is a storm event more severe than a 25 -year, 24-hour event, (b) the Permittee is in compliance with its CAWMP, and (c) there is at least one (1) foot of structural freeboard." M. The CAWMP for Fox Bay Farm LLC requires that the waste level in the lagoons not exceed the maximum liquid level of 19 inches below the top of the lagoon wail. N. DWR staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office (FRO) inspected Fox Bay Farm LLC on February 21, 2016 and observed that the waste Ievel of the front lagoon was twelve (12) inches and seven (7) inches in the back lagoon which exceeded the level specified in the CAWMP. O. Condition 111. 13, of the General Permit AWG100000 states that "The Permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Division Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than twenty-four (24) hours following first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following events: (e) Failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage pond greater than or equal to that required in Condition V.2. of the General Permit. (f) Failure to maintain waste level in a lagoon/storage pond below that of the designed structural freeboard (twelve (12) inches from top of dam or as specified in lagoon/storage pond design). Note that this notification is in addition to the report required by Condition III. 13.e above. P. Fox Bay Farm LLC notified by phone to the FRO DWR Staff on February 20, 2016 that the waste level was twelve (12) inches in the front lagoon and seven (7) inches in the back lagoon. This was the first notification by any means to the FRO of non-compliant lagoon levels.

Violation 1: We have lowered the waste levels in our lagoons to be in accordance with the facilities Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. As of April 4, 2016, the levels were as follows: • Lagoon #1 was 29 inches of freeboard • Lagoon #2 was 25 inches of freeboard We will continue to follow the.proposed actions outlined in our plan of action and will take all necessary additional steps to insure lagoon levels remain in compliance with Section (V 2) of our permit. Violation 2: We will notify the Division of Water Resource by telephone within 24 hours following first knowledge of the occurrence of a reportable permit condition, if one should occur. We will also provide a written report with five calendar days of the self -reporting. Violation 3: We have contracted with a vendor to assist in removing vegetation in the lagoon area so we will be in accordance with our permit. We do not have suitable equipment to mow in that area and have contracted with vendors in the past. Sometimes, we were not able to get the mowing done in a timely manner. We'will increase our efforts to insure that the lagoon banks are mowed on a regular basis. Violation'4: We have maintained a vegetative cover but due to wet conditions, have not been able to mow and apply waste to those fields. We will develop a plan of action to clean up our spray fields to be in accordance with our facilities CAWMP and submit it by April 30, 2016. We will start immediately to clean up the fields. Violation 5: We have developed a plan to improve recording keeping in regard to waste samples. This plan includes a set calendar reminder to alert us that the samples are due and we have assigned the farm manager with the responsibility to complete this task. Violation 6: We apologize for this oversight and plan to take a representative standard soil fertility analysis of each field receiving animal waste and be in accordance with our permit prior to December 31, 2016. We have not received invoices or records from pumping vendors but we will supply these records to DWR as soon as we receive them. All other requests will be filled prior to April 30, 2016. We respectfully request that you consider that our situation was exasperated by excessive rain in the months prior to these violations. We continue our commitment to be in compliance with all of our permit and will work towards that goal. We appreciate the professional and courteous manner exhibited by Steve Guyton and look forward to working with him and your office in the future. Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

JAY ZIMMERMAN 11 o-eclur March 18, 2016 MEMORANDUM To; Regional Supervisors, Water Quality Regional Operations Section From: Jay Zimmerman, Director ,;,7ri Through: Jon Risgaard, Chief, Water Quality Regional Operations Section Subject: Compliance/Enforcement Related to Periods of Extended Chronic Rainfall Chronic rainfall events in North Carolina in recent months have many areas of the state dealing with historic rainfall totals. For example, National Weather Service records indicate 2015 has the second highest annual rainfall total with over 72 inches of rainfall at least 139 rain days in Wilmington, NC. Chronic heavy rainfall the last two weeks of September 2015, coupled with impacts from Hurricane Joaquin which necessitated Executive Order No. 80 -- Declaration of a State of Emergency, left many facilities with much reduced storage capacity for the winter months and adversely impacted receiving crops. The combination of these events with continued chronic rainfall has resulted in many animal waste lagoons at or near their freeboard limits. The current Compliance/Enforcement Procedures for Animal Waste Management Facilities, issued January 6, 2006 (see Attachment), does not provide for consideration of chronic rainfall periods when determining appropriate enforcement action with respect to freeboard. In order to insure consistency throughout the state, the following compliance and enforcement guidelines are to be implemented by both the central office and the regional office staff when working with inadequate freeboard levels at animal waste facilities. When a high freeboard is identified at an animal facility, the producer will be given the opportunity to provide information to the Division of Water Resources (DWR) that will enable DWR to make a determination as to the appropriate incident response. This request for information may be either in the form of a Request for Information Letter or the DWR staff may meet with the producer at the facility. Once any additional information has been evaluated, the producer will be issued a Notice of Deficiency (NOD), a Notice of Violation (NOVA,'; nd/or a Notice of Intent of a Civil Penalty Assessment. DWR may also initiate other enforcement actions as appropriate.

The maximum duration of a single chronic rainfall period should not normally exceed 365 days. The 2006 Compliance/Enforcement Procedures should continue to be followed during periods of chronic heavy rainfall with the following exceptions: Facilities following proper operations and maintenance practices who find themselves with lagoon/storage pond waste levels fluctuating at the compliance level specified in the facility's CAWMP but below the structural freeboard level (greater than 12 inches), should not be subject to multiple compliance actions. These facilities are subject to increased compliance actions as described in this memo if freeboard levels become less than 12 inches, or operation and maintenance practices are not maintained. If the lagoon/storage pond waste levels exceed the compliance level specified in the facility's CAWIVIP but below the structural freeboard level (greater than 12 inches): o A prior NOV or two or more NODs for freeboard violations resulting from events less severe than a 25 year -24 hour storm event in the past three years shall not automatically elevate enforcement action during chronic heavy rainfall from an NOD to an NOV. Prior enforcement actions may be considered along with the evidence related to operation and maintenance and compliance, but should not be an automatic trigger. If the lagoon/storage pond's storage capacity is less than 12 inches (for structural stability): O An NOD may be issued in lieu of an NOV if o There are no prior NOVs or two or fewer NODS for freeboard violations resulting from events less severe than a 25 year -24 hour storm event in the past three years, and o Proper reporting of non-compliance as required by the permit, and o Evidence of effective operation and. maintenance prior to and during the chronic rainfall period, and o Submission of Plan of Action (POA) within two calendar days of exceeding the structural freeboard limit; as required by the permit. The POA shall outline actions taken or proposed to return waste levels below the designed structural freeboard within five days of first knowledge of the occurrence.

We wish to thank Mr. John Hester who was present and assisted during the inspection. As a result of this inspection, you are hereby notified that having been permitted to have a non -discharge permit for the subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2T .1304, you have been found to be in violation of your permit as follows: Violation 1: Failure to maintain waste levels in your lagoon/storage ponds in accordance with the facilities Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. (Permit No. AWS090045 Section V 2). On February 4, 2011 DWQ Staff responded to a complaint and the lagoon/storage pond level was documented at 18.5 inches of freeboard at the front lagoon,and 20.5 inches in the back lagoon. The marker in the front lagoon appeared to be incorrectly set because the waste level was obviously much higher than indicated. On February 7, 2011 Murphy Brown survey crew surveyed both lagoons and reset the front marker. Murphy Brown documented that the front lagoon was set 13 inches to high. Based on the information provided by Murphy Brown your lagoon level in the front lagoon on February 4,'2011 Was actually 5.5 inches. After transferring waste from the front lagoon to the back lagoon on February 5 and 6, 2011 your lagoon levels in both lagoons were 11 inches. A level of 19 inches is the maximum level allowed by your permit.

We did not move the lagoon marker in lagoon 1 and we had no idea it had been moved until Mr. Guyton came to the farm on February 4, 2011. I'm sure you can imagine how upset we were when we realized we only had 6.6 inches of freeboard. We immediately started transferring waste water from lagoon 1 to lagoon 2 so that we had 11 inches in each lagoon. We then hired Triple S Farms February 11, 2011 to use an aerway system to apply the waste to our fields so that we were in compliance and had extra freeboard levels in both lagoons. Since then we have been in compliance and monitor the lagoon levels daily. We have met with Becky Spearman, Dean Morris and Rick Morris to review our waste management plan. We have sprayed Roundup on fields 4, 10 and 11 and plan to do a controlled burn the beginning of April. We will continue to do everything that we possibly can to ensure our lagoons and farm continue to stay in compliance with all rules and regulations. Sincerely, John C. Hester Fox Bay Farm, LLC Facility No. 09-45 North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Bladen County Center PA.

Dean Morris, Bladen Soil and Water Conservation District and Becky Spearman, Extension Livestock Agent, visited with Mr. John Hester on March 2nd to review his waste pian and sprayfields. Rick Morris, NCDA regional agronomist and I visited on March I Ith to look at the fields to burn. Below are recommendations from our visits. We plan to visit the farm in May to observe the bermuda fields while. growing and make more recommendations. Below are the recommendations for each field. It is very important to remove the winter overseed in a timely manner so the Bermuda grass can green up. They have contacted someone to harvest the overseed in late March or early April. The fescue fields need to be reestablished this fall with KY 31 tall fescue. We recommend using a no -till drill or to broadcast from September 1 to October 31. Seeding rates are 15-20 lbs/acre for broadcast or 10-15 lbs/acre for drilling, however we recommend increasing the seeding rate to 20- 25 lbs/acre for both methods to increase stand establishment, Seeding depth is critical and should be planted r/4 - % inch deep. Use herbicide treatment this May to control summer weeds. Use glyphosate one to two weeks prior to establishing. The fescue fields need to be monitored yearly and allowed to either seed out or reseed areas when the stand becomes weaker. Herbicide control is a critical area that needs to be addressed. A summer broadleaf herbicide needs to be applied to the bermuda fields in May or early June to control pigweed, dogfennel and other warm season weeds. Controlling weeds and decreasing thatch buildup from bushhogging weeds must be managed. The weeds and thatch will hurt Bermuda stands, For fields 4, 10 and 11, thatch needs to be removed. Use glyphosate at 1 quart to the acre now to kill ryegrass and then burn the field when weather conditions allow. Observe weather conditions prior to the burn and consider burning later in the afternoon when the wind dies down. Disc 15' around the edges of the fields as a fire break and contact the fire department about the burn and see if they could come out or be on stand by. These fields will be observed in May to determine what areas need to be filled in with sprigs from other areas of the farm. North Carolina State University and North Carotins A&T University commit themselves to positive action to secure equal opportunity regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, religion, sex, age, veteran status or disability, In addition, the two Universities welcome all persons without regard to sexual orientation. North Carolina State University, North Carolina A&T University, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and locale governments cooperating. Some whole farm recommendations are to pump when weather conditions are good year round. Maintain lagoon freeboard near the stop pump when able. They can pump 8" below stop pump in the summer to allow extra storage during the rainy season. Sincerely, Becky Spearman Extension Agent Livestock cc: Steve Guyton Dean Morris Rick Morris John Hester Field 9 -- bermuda field with overseed. Overseed looks good, but need to remove in a timely manner. The crop should be harvested in April and they plan on lining up someone to cut and bale the hay. There is a hole in the middle.of the field which should be filled in with topsoil and sprigged this spring. Fields 5, 12, 4A, and 11 — Fescue. These fields need to be reestablished in the fall. Fill in low areas to reduce ponding and drainage issues. Field i 1 should be burned now to remove thatch. Field 3 — bermuda field with overseed. Visit in May to observe this field and determine if the field needs to be reestablished next spring. Harvest overseed crop in a timely manner this April. Field 4 — bermuda field with overseed. Recommend burning now to remove thatch. 4A — Fescue. Field needs to be reestablished in the fall. The field should be bulldozed to even out the field before reestablishment. Field 6 — bermuda with overseed. Fill in areas with bermuda sprigs from field 1 I this spring. Field 10 — bermuda with overseed that has not been pumped on. Recommend burning now to remove thatch. Review field in May. Field 8 -- bermuda with overseed. Field looks good. Harvest overseed crop in a timely manner this April. 2 SENDER: COMPLETE THIS SECTION OIV DELIVfRY -- ■..CampEete darns 1 2 grid 3. {Uso:completa r.141, dem 4 if Restn&ted Delivery Is'destred ,'�' �� '1�Aget ?'

In addition, Mr. Brown observed that we were irrigating and with closer inspection, noticed that some ponding had occurred in the spray field. Then Mr. Brown and I noticed a small amount of waste water was draining into the grassy waterway that intersects this spray field. I immediately stopped pumping and Mr. Brown inspected the ditch for possible runoff. Several samples were taken and A4r. Brown explained that it did not appear that the waste water had left my property. The waste water had ponded in a ditch approadately 100 feet from the spray field. By my assessment, approximately 200 gallons had drained from the spray field and Mr_ Brown suggested pumping the waste water out of the ditch into the woods. After b4r. Brown left, my son and I immediately pumped waste water and ditch water for approximately 1 1/2 hours into the wooded area on my property to ensure all contained water was out of the ditch. This ditch runs through my brother's property into the Marsh Swamp, not into the NO Swamp. There was no visible indication of movement of water in the ditch through the wooded area onto the adjacent property. In spraying this field, it is necessary to puff the guncart across the grassed waterway, but waste water is and was not sprayed directly into the grassed waterway. My son and I did everything possible to ensure waste water would not drain into the waterway including lowering pressure and turning the spray nozzle so that there would not be any runoff. We were also unaware that ponding would occur because the spray field showed no signs of saturation. We feel that to property ensure that we will never again have an incident like this to occur, we have decided to install underground file in the grassed waterway in question. As we near this hurricane season, we plan to have our lagoons at or below our stop pumping level to be better prepared for the Fall and Winter seasons of 2000. Beginning with hurricane season of 1999 through the Winter of 2000, our state has been declared a National Disaster twice. Even though we thought we were prepared enough, no one expected the rainfall/snowfall totals we received_ 03/24/00 20:19 FAX Elden Hester [a 03 I understand that we made a mistake in underestimating the possibility ofrunofl� but we did everything possible to eamxI this problem.

On February 22, 2000, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality inspected the Elden Hester swine facility in Bladen County. It was observed that the facility was irrigating and wastewater was ponding and observed leaving the spray field. Wastewater was also observed in a grassed waterway. There was evidence to indicate that the gun cart had been pulled out across the waterway, which contained a continuous flow of water and allowed to spray waste directly in the waterway. Animal waste flowed via the waterway and ultimately discharge into Mill Swamp which is Class "C SW" waters. Both lagoons were also observed to be in the emergency storage level (12 inches and 18 inches). The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed: 1. If not already completed, lower the lagoon level to the required freeboard on a suitable waste application field as soon as weather permits and per the CAWMP. rRsk, 2 Q 1 0% 225 GREEN STREET, SUITE 714 1 SYSTEL HLO.

Stevens, Director of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), make the following: I. FINDINGS OF FACT: A. Elden Hester owns and operates Elden Hester Farm, a swine animal operation located along SR 1126 in Bladen County. B. Elden Hester was issued Animal Waste Permit No. AWS090045 on June 26, 1998 effective June 26, 1998 with an expiration date of April 30, 2003. This permit does not allow the discharge of waste to waters of the State. C. On February 22, 2000, DWQ staff observed a discharge of wastewater by Elden Hester Farm from the sprayfield via a vegetated waterway which flowed to Mill Swamp, Class C SW within the Lumber River Basin. D. Elden Hester had no valid permit for the above-described discharge. E. Condition No. 111. 6. f. of the "Monitoring and Reporting Requirements" of the Animal Waste Permit No. AWS090045 requires that the permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the occurrence of overapplying animal waste where runoff enters surface waters. F. Elden Hester failed to notify the Fayetteville Regional DWQ office of the discharge of wastewater. G. The Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) for Elden Hester Farm requires that in no instance shall the volume of the waste being stored in the lagoon be within 1.7 feet, or twenty and four/tenths (20.4) inches, of the top of the dike. H. On February 22, 2000, DWQ staff observed that the waste level of two lagoons at the Elden Hester Farm were twelve (12) inches and eighteen (18) inches which exceeded the level specified in the CAWMP. 1 of 4 File No. DV 00-027 Elden Hester Farm Condition No. M. 6. e. of the "Monitoring and Reporting Requirements" of the Animal Waste Permit No. AWS090045 requires that the permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage greater than or equal to the maximum required in the CAWMP. J. Elden Hester failed to notify the Fayetteville Regional DWQ office of failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage greater than or equal to the maximum required in the CAWMP. K. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $656.00. Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following: II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: A. Elden Hester is a "person" within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.6A pursuant to G.S. 143-212(4). B. Animal Waste Permit No. AWS090045 is required by G.S. 143-215. L C. Mill Swamp constitutes waters of the State within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.1 pursuant to G.S. 143-212(6). D. The above-cited discharge constitutes making an outlet of waters of the State for purposes of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1) for which a permit is required by G.S. 143-215.1. E. The above-cited failure to report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the occurrence of overapplying animal waste where runoff enters surface waters constitutes a violation of Condition No. III. 6. f. of the Animal Waste Permit No. AWS090045.

Allen Elden Hester Farm 4047 Marsh Road Bladenboro, NC 28320 SUBJECT: Assessment of Civil Penalties for Violation(s) of N.C. General Statute(s) 143-215.1 Farm # 09-45 Bladen County File No. DV-2010-0057 Permit No. AWS090045 Dear Mr. Allen: This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessed against Harold B. Allen in the amount of $9,204.04, which includes $2,704.04 in investigative costs. Attached is a copy of the assessment document explaining this penalty. This action was taken under the authority vested in me by delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality. Any continuing violation(s) may be the subject of a new enforcement action, including an additional penalty. Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following three items: 1. Submit payment of the penalty: Payment should be made to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Do not include the attached waiver form if making payment. Please send payment to the attention of- J. R. Josh] DWQ Page 2 Harold B. Allen 2. Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for such request: Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure .for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered: (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the violator; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) whether the violator has been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions. Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the, Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission. In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should be submitted to the following address: J. R. Joshi Division of Water Quality 1636 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1636 OR 3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings: Page 3 Harold B.

ALLEN FOR MAKING AN OUTLET TO THE WATERS OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA WITHOUT A PERMIT AND VIOLATIONS OF SWINE WASTE GENERAL PERMIT AWG100000 NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES File No. DV-2010-0057 FINDINGS AND DECISION AND ASSESSMENTS OF CIVIL PENALTIES Acting pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, Theodore L. Bush Jr., Chief of the Aquifer Protection Section of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), make the following: I. FINDINGS OF FACT: A. Harold B. Allen leases and operates Elden Hester Farm, a swine operation located along 8361 Center Road in Bladensboro, in Bladen County. B. Harold. B. Allen was issued Certificate of Coverage (COC) No. AWS090045 under General Permit AWG100000 for the Elden Hester Farm on October 1, 2009, effective October 1, 2009, with an expiration date of September 30, 2014. This permit does not allow the discharge of waste to.waters of the State. C. Condition No. I.1 of the General Permit AWG100000 states that waste shall not reach surface waters or wetlands by runoff, drift, manmade conveyance, direct application, and direct discharge or through ditches, terraces, or grassed waterways not otherwise classified as state waters. D. Condition No. III.2. a of the General Permit AWG100000 requires that the Permittee monitor and record freeboard levels weekly on forms supplied by or approved by the Division. E. Condition No. IH.13. a of the General Permit AWG100000 requires that the Permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Division Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the occurrence of any riicrharaa to rlitrm-c ciirfacP wnterc nr wetlands_ G. Condition V.2 of the General Permit AWG100000 requires properly maintained waste levels in lagoon/storage ponds in accordance with the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). The CAWMP for the Elden Hester Farm requires a level of nineteen (19) inches. H. On January 29, 2010, DWQ staff observed a discharge of wastewater at the Elden Hester Farm from a sprayfield to Moccasin Branch, which are Class C waters of the State within the Lumber River Basin. DWQ staff responded to a complaint and found waste flowing from a waterway in a spray application field into a ditch. Waste had been applied and was still being applied to saturated soils that caused excessive ponding and runoff. The waste flowed into a neighbor's pond and into Moccasin Branch. DWQ staff observed that the freeboard level in the lagoon was ten (10) inches. A survey of the staff gauge on February 1, 2010 showed that the level was fourteen (14) inches. Records on -site indicated that the freeboard level had not been recorded since December 24, 2009. I. Harold B. Allen had no valid permit for the above -described activity. On February 17, 2010 the Division issued a Notice of Violation (NOV)/Notice of Intent (NOI) to Harold B. Allen identifying .violations of N.C.G.S. 143-215.1 and COC No. AWS090045. K. The NOV/ NOI was sent by certified mail, return receipt requested and received on March 15, 2010. L. On April 12, 2010, a second NOV/NOI letter was issued to Harold B. Allen for violations of N.C.G.S. 143-215.1 and COC No.AWS090045. M. The Notice was sent by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested and as of June 14, 2010 DWQ's Fayetteville Regional Office has not received a response to the second NOV/NOI. N. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $2,704.04. Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following: II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: A. Harold B. Allen is a "person" within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.6A pursuant to G.S. 143-212(4). B. Moccasin Branch constitutes waters of the State within the meaning of G.S. 143- 215.1 pursuant to G.S. 143-212(6). E. Harold B. Allen violated Condition No. III.2.a of the General Permit AWG100000 by failing to record freeboard levels weekly from December 24, 2009 to January 29, 2010. F. Harold B.

On February 22, 2000, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality inspected the Elden Hester swine facility in Bladen County. It was observed that the facility was irrigating and wastewater was ponding and observed leaving the spray field. Wastewater was also observed in a grassed waterway. There was evidence to indicate that the gun cart had been pulled out across the waterway, which contained a continuous flow of water and allowed to spray waste directly in the waterway. Animal waste flowed via the waterway and ultimately discharge into Mill Swamp which is Class "C SW" waters. Both lagoons were also observed to be in the emergency storage level (12 inches and 18 inches). The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed: 1. If not already completed, lower the lagoon level to the required freeboard on a suitable waste application field as soon as weather permits and per the CAWMP. �r�sr 2 0 1 0 225 GREEN STREET, SUITE 714 / SYSTEL BLD.

Per your request I am including each document and other pertinent material that will address the violation at the Elden Hester Farm. 1. Enclosed you will find all of the pumping records, lagoon levels, rainfall records and waste analyses for the farm, from January 1, 2009 to the present. I have also provided a copy of the CAWMP. 2. The following is my explanation of how the violation occurred. Prior to pumping the lagoon level was high. I had been evaluating the best location to pump. In the field where irrigation took place I had pumped the evening before, on January 28, 2010. 1 had my farm employee to pull the reel out the next day, on the 291". He started the reel and came back and reported that the field was very "slushy." We both went back immediately and turned the reel off. This field contains a grass waterway. Rain water had started seeping from the woods (which has been recently thinned) on one side into the spray field, to the opposite of the field. This is where the rain water and lagoon waste mixed and ran into the ditch. As long as I have been affiliated with the farm, this has never happened. 3. The first temporary measure of containment involved damming the ditch up at two separate locations. I have met with Dean Morris, Natural Resource Conservationist, to have some gates designed. These gates should cut off any flow from numerous ditches on the farm that could be points of discharge. They are being designed by Crumpler Piping Company. Upon completion the gates will be installed. When they are installed I will notify Steve Guyton of their location. I have also started educating my current farm employee on how to recognize potential violations and the severity of this type of violation. 4. In reference to containing and recovering all possible waste, the following steps have been taken. In addition to damming the ditch in two locations, I also immediately started recovering all possible waste. During this time, it continued to rain and water was still seeping from the thinned woods into the spray field In question. The rain water diluted the waste liquid as I was recovering the waste. I continued to pump around the clock and returned thirty-nine thousand gallons of rain water / lagoon waste into the lagoon. Steve Guyton saw our efforts, checked the condition of the water, and stated that I done all that could. Page 2 At that time, Mr. Guyton informed me that I could allow the remaining water in the field to soak into the soil and into the surrounding woods. The required corrective action includes repairing the spray application equipment before further use of the equipment. I have purchased new hydrant hoses, and repair kits for the irrigation drum. These items have been installed. To the best of my ability I have attempted to correct the problems that resulted in this violation. I have followed all the directives from Steve Guyton and responded Immediately. I will be vigilant in preventing in possible violations in the future. The lagoon is still high and is in the nineteen to twenty-one inch range. Would it be appropriate to request an additional thirty days to reduce the lagoon level? I will wait for your response in this matter. ere , 099 Harold Allen 0.9110/2009 12:5_2_ 8626913 R ADEN CO DDA 08/10:2009 TRU 12:32 FAX 9102933198 WRLNXI Stare of North Carolina Department of Enviionment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality Animal Feeding Operations Pemm t Application Form (THIS FORMjVAYBEPHOTOCOPIMFOR USE ASA NORIGNAL) State General Permit - Existing Animal Waste Opel PAGE 02 IM 002/OOT MAR 151010 f)�FA"I�REGIONq�MCE 1.

This plan provi cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the < and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake. This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid anc order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan manure generated by the operation. Animal operations that generate liquid waste and utilize waste storage facilitic less waste in any given year than is annually generated by the facility. In order to determine whether the plan adec the storage capacity table included in this plan should be reviewed to ensure that the design capacity of the storage period. Depending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over utilized. Waste should be, analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste balance the nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown.

Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc cant also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied. Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero. Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land applieatjon. ,Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied tg meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). S. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration .................................................................................... 692901 Database Version 1.06 Date Printed: 12-21-2000 Specification Page 1 09/10/2009 12:58 8626913 BLADEN CO DOA PAGE 04 M rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. ' 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on,or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drain.ageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be ................................... ....... ................

Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which, will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion. Y� 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required.to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied.

Please file the enclosed inspection revision with the rest of the inspection. I checked with our Raleigh office and you do NOT have a sludge survey exemption form on file. You can either file for an exemption for 2008 OR conduct one as soon as possible. Basically that would be a late survey, and you should do another one in December 2009 (unless you are granted a rare several year extension). You do not have to use this Sludge Survey Extension form, but can send a plain language request for.an extension. Either way, you MUST send a COPY of all pages of the sludge survey for both lagoons (including a "map" of areas sampled). Please keep the original on the farm. Also our computer system shows both you and your wife as invalid Operators in Charge (OICs) as of January 1, 2009, due to lack of continuing education credits. If this is the case (and it may not be), you have until January 31 to obtain the necessary credits or you can retake the OIC exam in March. One problem is that the computer list was posted on Oct 28,so will not reflect changes since then. Another problem is that not all continuing education courses will give you animal waste credits. If you check the invoice for the $10 fee to renew your animal waste license, it should have on it the credits you need and when they are due. If you have any questions you should contact the Technical Assistance and Certification Unit (TACU) in Raleigh directly at (919) 733-0026. 1 was unable to find any animal waste continuing education courses being offered in January on the TACU website. However, due to the number of farms in this section of the state, it is possible some could be offered. The other thing to watch is whether you could get enough credits to be legal in only one month. Please check with your county extension agent. The next exam is on March 12 and the application has to be in Raleigh by Feb 10, along with the $25 fee. The two closest exam locations are Kenansville and Raleigh. An application is enclosed and I filled out some of the top portion from our computer records, since you might have trouble locating your earlier exam date.

It is not unusual for operators to lapse and have to retake the exam to regain certification. It would probably be a good idea to study your manual and check out the rules on the TACU website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/tacu/index.htm1. Newer manuals are available from your county extension office for $25. Assuming that your certification did run out by Dec 31, and you end up having to take (and pass) the first exam, you would still need a legal OIC to sign off on any spray events conducted between now and then. Please talk to some of your OIC neighbors and see if one would be willing to help out temporarily. At this time of the year, you may need to spray on short notice. In fact, with your lagoon levels, you will need to spray in the near future. In his inspection of 05/21/2007, Steve Guyton mentioned that you needed to start keeping transfer records. Unfortunately, I did not notice that previously but I now agree. I redesigned the transfer form so that it will work for your farm and enclosed two copies. For surface area, just multiply length and width of each lagoon. If you cannot locate the construction information, use 91,476 for Lagoon 1 from our computer and 35,800 sq ft for Lagoon 2, estimated from an aerial photo. I could not find construction data at Fayetteville. New permits will be coming out in the fall: You will be mailed renewal forms in February or March and these should be back in Raleigh by April 1, 2009. 1 apologize for any confusion caused by me or other past inspectors.

On February 22, 2000, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality inspected the Elden Hester swine facility in Bladen County. It was observed that the facility was irrigating and wastewater was ponding and observed leaving the spray field. Wastewater.was also observed in a grassed waterway. There was evidence to indicate that the gun cart had been pulled out across the waterway, which contained a continuous flow of water and allowed to spray waste directly in the waterway. Animal waste flowed via the waterway and ultimately discharge into Mill Swamp which is Class "C SW" waters. Both lagoons were also observed to be in the emergency storage level (12 inches and 18 inches). The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed: 1. If not already completed, lower the lagoon level to the required freeboard on a suitable waste application field as soon as weather permits and per the CAWMP.
