Dear Mr. Autry:
On November 6, 1997, staff ftom the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality conducted an inspection at the Autry Swine Farm to determine compliance with the certified
animal waste management plan (CAWMP). At the time of the investigation our staff determined
that the facility was not certified, however; several problems were identified that require immediate
attention. The inspection revealed that waste had been applied on a field that was considered a
converted wetland at a rate that exceeded the infiltration rate of the soil, resulting in ponding and
runoff. This field did not have a crop (fescue) as required for certification and no winter rye had
been established in the bermda pastures. In addition, the lagoons dikes had no grass cover in some
areas and the pumping records were not adequate because the plant available nitrogen (PAN) had
not been calculated on the IRR -2 form or equivalent form. The Division of Water Quality may
proceed with additional actions against Autry Swine Farm, unless the following items are addressed:
1. Immediately plant the required crops for consideration for possible certification of the farm by a
technical specialist and improve the drainage if possible to prevent ponding and runoff. Begin
applying waste to the application fields at agronomic rates.
2. Immediately begin maintaining records of waste application on the approved forms (IRR -1 &
IRR -2) or an equivalent form that calculates a PAN balance for the crops.

Bladen County
Dear Mr. Autry:
On June 25, 1999, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division -of Water
Quality conducted a routine inspection on your swine facility located in Bladen County. It
appeared that one of the waste application fields did not contain the correct receiving crop
as specified in the most recent Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). Field
#6 contained fescue, however row crops were specified for this field. It was noted that
freeboard records were not being maintained weekly as required by the General Permit
issued to this facility on December 28, 1998. General Permit condition 111.2 states that
QWaste lagoon and storage pond levels shall be recorded weekly on forms supplied or
approved by the DWQ.'.
It was also noted that the facility failed to have a soil analysis for 1998. General
Permit condition 111.3 states that "A representative Standard Soil Fertility Analysis, including
pH, copper, and zinc shall be conducted annually on each application field receiving animal
waste. The results of these tests shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for a minimum
of three years and shall be made available to the DWQ upon request.'. An irrigation layout
had recently been completed for the facility, however it did not coincide with the CAWMP.
The CAWMP should include all the fields covered in the irrigation layout that are going to
be used for waste application. Irrigation records should also be kept in accordance with the
irriation layout
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be performed:
1. Contact a technical specialist in order to revise the CAWMP to reflect the crops to be
grown along with the specified Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) rates for each crop. The
CAWMP should include all fields to be used for waste application as specified in the
irrigation layout completed for this facility.

3. Take a soil sample annually as required by the General Permit and the CAWMP.

accurately as specified in the irrigation layout.
Please notify this office in writing on or before August 20, 1999 at the letterhead above as to the actions
taken or proposed to be taken to resolve these deficiencies. 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.
