Re: NOD response letter for high freeboard level at facility # 09-048 Lisbon 1 farm.
Dear Mr. Guyton,
This letter is being sent in response to a Notice of Deficiency issued by your office to Lisbon 1 farms
Inc. in Bladen County managed by Murphy -Brown LLC.
As noted in the letter of notice, the lagoon level was self reported as being out of compliance and a 30
day Plan of Action (POA) was submitted to your office. On September 25, the Lisbon 1 lagoon was
pumped down to the stop pump level (43.68"). From September 25`h until the lagoon was reported out
of compliance on January 22, 2010, we received a total of 23.4" of rainfall with two events totaling more
than 4". With soil conditions being saturated, we were unable to keep the lagoons in compliance.
Murphy -Brown elected to transfer effluent from Lisbon 1 to the Frenches Creek sow farm to keep the
lagoon level from reaching structural. Effluent was hauled until field conditions allowed on site
application. The lagoon was reported back in compliance on 3/23/2010.
Murphy -Brown LLC is committed to environmental stewardship, and we feel that we
addressed the freeboard level with proper planning and execution while following our permit
requirements. Should you have any other concerns about this issue please do not hesitate to contact
me at 910-293-9364 ext 241.
Sincerely, In `;l� p

Division of Water Quality
Thank you for your recent submittal of the information requested in our letter dated April 15,
2003. The Fayetteville Regional Office has determined that no further enforcement actions will
be taken by the Division for the inadequate freeboard.
However, upon review and consideration of the information submitted, the Fayetteville
Regional Office has determined that an NOV is appropriate due to freeboard in the structural
range and unsatisfactory operation and maintenance of this facilities waste treatment system.
According to records you submitted this facility had a freeboard of 11 inches on April 14, 2003.
Additionally waste applications were made to the Matua crop outside of the designated time
frame of the Waste Utilization Plan. The windows for Matua are March through August 31,
September 15 through October, and February through March again. The farm has records
indicating five applications in November of 2002, four in December of 2002, and three in
January of 2003. Enclosed with this mailing is a copy of the pertinent portion of the WUP for
this farm. Please adhere to the application dates for the appropriate crop.
In the future, please continue to evaluate ways to maintain freeboard levels in the required
range. These methods include, but are not limited to, water conservation practices, adding
additional application sites, updating your cropping systems, adding additional and/or more
flexible application equipment, and maintaining the lagoon levels at the lowest allowable and
appropriate levels throughout the year. Our staff looks forward to continuing to work with you
and your Technical Specialist to evaluate and implement any needed changes to your system.

RE: Notice of Violation for Faa t -Number 09-48 Lisbon Sow
Dear Mr. Rawls:
In response to your March 21-, 2000 letter concerning the February 9t' visit by Mr. Jefffp
Brown of your staff, please consider the following:
1. You stated that "Wastewater was observed ponded in portions of one spray field..."
From conversations after the fact with Mr. Brown, we determined that this was from
the area of Pull #11 beside the brick home. This area had just been irrigated that
morning, so with Mr. Brown inspecting right after lunch, he would have noticed
some temporary ponding. This is normal for this clay -type soil. Pull #11 does not
connect to nor does it drain to any waterway or ditch. The application was a
moderate depth of only 0.46 -inch (see attached irrigation records). Therefore, due
to the slow infiltration rate of the soil causing some temporary ponding immediately
after application and since the field contained all that was applied, this is not a
violation;
2. You stated that "Wastewater was observed ponded in ... the vegetated waterway
within the field, areas outside of the spray pattern being used for waste
application." Technical Specialist Kraig Westerbeek has verified that the waterway
is part of the spray field and according to Best Management Practices should be
irrigated on to maintain adequate vegetation. Since December 1999 only one
application was made across the vegetated waterway on the 1 ' of February, eight
days prior to the inspection. That application was 0.45 -inch on Pull 414. When
irrigating across this waterway, as an extra precaution, the spray pattern of the gun
is adjusted just before and again just after the waterway so that we do not spray
directly onto the waterway. After the inspector left the farm and phoned our
corporate office, the OIC and his supervisor blocked the waterway that afternoon
as requested but could find no evidence of wastewater in the waterway;
3. Supervisor Walt Burney explained on the phone to Mr. Brown after he left that the
only liquid that could be in that waterway was from a spring -fed pond on the high
end of the spray field that he had just pumped completely out through the waterway
on February 7"' & 8. He explained that he does this twice a year to keep the pond
from continuously wetting the field. He told the inspector that this had to be the
source of any water in the waterway;
Post Office Box 759, Rose Hill, North Carolina 28458, (910) 289-2111, FAX (910) 289-6400
4. You stated that "Wastewater was also observed in an area adjacent to the stream
directly behind the back spray field (field with cemetery)." This wastewater migrated
overnight from the higher middle to the lower end of the spray field from an
application the afternoon of February 8'. On Pull #3 a 0.49 -inch application was
made. We acknowledge that wastewater did accumulate on the lower, wetter end
of this field but all was contained and pumped back onto the higher, drier middle
within 12 hours per your request. The area in question was approximately 30 feet
long by 15 feet wide with less than two inches of water. In fact, several holes had to
be dug in order to slowly collect and pump the water. This area is within the spray
field and separated from the stream by more than 100 feet of a natural vegetation
buffer. Walt Burney's thorough inspection of the area around the spray field and
buffer area the same afternoon as the inspection yielded no signs of runoff beyond
the spray field;
5. Since the inspector phoned our corporate office after leaving the site, no adequate
attempt was made to allow a Murphy representative the opportunity to discuss on-
site the findings or see and sample whatever the inspector saw, even though our
OIC was somewhere on-site and farm managers and staff were in the two offices
on-site;
6. At no time did application rates exceed the Plant Available Nitrogen rate.
We will carefully monitor applications to the low end of the back field and limit those to
times of the driest soil conditions possible.
In light of these facts, we respectfully ask you to reconsider this issuance. Thank you for
your cooperation.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact John Bizic or Kraig Westerbeek at
910-289-6439.
Sincerely,
4ohn Bizi

Dear Mr. Boyd:
On March 30, 2000, staff from the Division of Water Quality at the
Fayetteville Regional Office received a response from John Bizic for Murphy
Family Farms in regards to the subject facility. A site visit was made to the
facility on March 31, 2000 to discuss the incident from February 9th in detail with
an on-site representative. The information submitted by Mr. Bizic was reviewed
`t to determine if a rescission of the Notice of Violation was in order. Each item has
been addressed according to the number in Mr. Bizic's letter:
-.,5. a"'Ge',S rk i
1. Mr. Bizic makes reference to Pull #11, beside the brick home, in his response
to wastewater being ponded in the waterway. This area of the waste application
field was not inspected on February 9, 2000. Wastewater was observed on the
other side of the farm path, areas within and surrounding Pulls #7 and #8. It was
pointed out to Walt Burney, the on-site representative on March 31, exactly where
wastewater was observed ponded.
2. Once again, Mr. Bizic makes reference to an area that was not inspected on
February 9th. At the time of the site visit, the irrigation reel appeared to be
connected to either Hydrant #7 or #8. Wastewater was observed in the waterway
at least two hydrants below the hydrant in which the irrigation reel was connected.

The waterway which contained the ponded wastewater as referenced in the Notice of Violation was
not inspected by farm personnel according to Mr. Bizic's letter. Farm personnel blocked the
waterway, in the field on the other side of the farm path, instead of the waterway in which
wastewater was identified in.
3. The area in which the spring -fed pond is pumped out twice a year was pointed out to the inspector
by Mr. Burney during the site visit made on March 31. However, this is across the farm path in
which wastewater was observed ponded in the waterway.
4. Mr. Bizic states that "wastewater did accumulate on the lower, wetter end" and "the inspection
yielded no signs of runoff beyond the spray field." However, it was pointed out to Mr. Burney from
a review of the photographs taken on the 9th of February where wastewater was ponded. Mr.
Burney agreed that this area in question was clearly not a portion of the spray field. The area in
which wastewater was ponded was obviously greater than 2 inches in depth and well within 100 feet
of the stream. Wastewater was once again observed ponded along the field border during the March
31 site visit.
5. An attempt was made to talk with someone on the farm site. A site visit was made to both farms,
however the OIC or other outside employees were not identified as being on the farm site.
Therefore, the corporate office was contacted. Due to time constraints on that particular day, staff
from DWQ was unable to spend the additional time to make contact with an on-site representative.
6. Although application rates did not exceed the Plant Available Nitrogen rate, it did indeed exceed
the soil infiltration rate. As a result, wastewater left the spray field, which is a violation of the
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan and the General Permit.
After a review of the information submitted, the Division of Water Quality has determined
that the Notice of Violation was appropriate for the observations made by staff from our office on
February 9, 2000. If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact
Mr. Jeffery Brown, Environmental Engineer or myself at (910) 486-1541.

RE: Notice of Violation for Facility Number 09-48 Lisbon Sow
Dear Mr. Rawls:
'k1.T
In response to your March 21, 2000 letter concerning the February 9th visit by Mr. Je cff€ep�
Brown of your staff, please consider the following:
1. You stated that "Wastewater was observed ponded in portions of one spray field..."
From conversations after the fact with Mr. Brown, we determined that this was from
the area of Pull #11 beside the brick home. This area had just been irrigated that
morning, so with Mr. Brown inspecting right after lunch, he would have noticed
some temporary ponding. This is normal for this clay -type soil. Pull #11 does not
connect to nor does it drain to any waterway or ditch. The application was a
moderate depth of only 0.46 -inch (see attached irrigation records). Therefore, due
to the slow infiltration rate of the soil causing some temporary ponding immediately
after application and since the field contained all that was applied, this is not a
violation;
2. You stated that "Wastewater was observed ponded in...the vegetated waterway
within the field, areas outside of the spray pattern being used for waste
application." Technical Specialist Kraig Westerbeek has verified that the waterway
is part of the spray field and according to Best Management Practices should be
irrigated on to maintain adequate vegetation. Since December 1999 only one
application was made across the vegetated waterway on the 11 of February, eight
days prior to the inspection. That application was 0.45 -inch on Pull #14. When
irrigating across this waterway, as an extra precaution, the spray pattern of the gun
is adjusted just before and again just after the waterway so that we do not spray
directly onto the waterway. After the inspector left the farm and phoned our
corporate office, the OIC and his supervisor blocked the waterway that afternoon
as requested but could find no evidence of wastewater in the waterway;
3. Supervisor Walt Burney explained on the phone to Mr. Brown after he left that the
only liquid that could be in that waterway was from a spring -fed pond on the high
end of the spray field that he had just pumped completely out through the waterway
on February 7'h & 8th. He explained that he does this twice a year to keep the pond
from continuously wetting the field. He told the inspector that this had to be the
source of any water in the waterway;
Post Office Box 759, Rose Hill, North Carolina 28458, (910) 289-2111, FAX (910) 289-6400
4. You stated that "Wastewater was also observed in an area adjacent to the stream
directly behind the back spray field (field with cemetery)." This wastewater migrated
overnight from the higher middle to the lower end of the spray field from an
application the afternoon of February 8h. On Pull #3 a 0.49 -inch application was
made. We acknowledge that wastewater did accumulate on the lower, wetter end
of this field but all was contained and pumped back onto the higher, drier middle
within 12 hours per your request. The area in question was approximately 30 feet
long by 15 feet wide with less than two inches of water. In fact, several holes had to
be dug in order to slowly collect and pump the water. This area is within the spray
field and separated from the stream by more than 100 feet of a natural vegetation
buffer. Walt Burney's thorough inspection of the area around the spray field and
buffer area the same afternoon as the inspection yielded no signs of runoff beyond
the spray field;
5. Since the inspector phoned our corporate office after leaving the site, no adequate
attempt was made to allow a Murphy representative the opportunity to discuss on-
site the findings or see and sample whatever the inspector saw, even though our
OIC was somewhere on-site and farm managers and staff were in the two offices
on-site;
6. At no time did application rates exceed the Plant Available Nitrogen rate.
We will carefully monitor applications to the low end of the back field and limit those to
times of the driest soil conditions possible.
In light of these facts, we respectfully ask you to reconsider this issuance. Thank you for
your cooperation.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact John Bizic or Kraig Westerbeek at
910-289-6439.

RE: Notice of Violation for Facility Number 09-48 Lisbon Sow
Dear Mr. Rawls:
M
tu
In response to your August 22nd, 2000 letter concerning the August 17'h visit by Mr. Bob Heath of
your staff, the inspector noted "spray fields have a poor to non-existent stand of bermuda grass in
most of the fields and curly dock, mustard and wild grasses are dominant. This farm received a
NOV on April 9, 1998 for this specific problem." Please consider the following:
1) We acknowledge that in the spray fields there are spots where little bermuda grass is
growing. 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. (See
attached irrigation and crop yield reports.)
2) In response to your concerns about these fields, we began clearing additional land in May
of this year. Wet weather has slowed the contractor, but our plan is to convert the least
productive bermuda fields to row crops and plant grass on the higher, drier land being
cleared. We project the land to be ready by November 151, weather permitting.
3) We received no NOVs for the bermuda quality during last year's inspections.
4) We have tentatively set up a meeting on October 4`h 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 or Kraig Westerbeek at 910-289-
