SUBJECT: NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY
Carroll's Farm 2602-1
Facility No. 09 - 86
Bladen County
Dear Mr. Nordin:
On June 15, 1999, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality conducted a routine inspection of the Carroll's Farm 2602-1 swine facility located
in Bladen County. There was quite a bit of trash (bottles, syringes, etc.) observed in the
lagoon at the time of the inspection. The General Permit issued to this facility on May 8,
1998 states in condition 11.12 states that "Lagoons/storage ponds shall be kept free of
foreign debris including, but not limited to tires, bottles, light bulbs, gloves, syringes or any
other solid waste.". A review of the irrigation records indicated that the Plant Available
Nitrogen (PAN) rate for the coastal bermuda in crop year 1998 had been exceeded by 63
pounds. It was also noted that the facility failed to have a copy of the Certificate of
Coverage (COC) and the General Permit readily available. Permit condition 1.4 states that
"A copy of this General Permit, COC, certification farms, lessee and landowner agreements,
and the CAWMP shall be readily available at the farm (stored at places such as the farm
residence, office, outbuilding, etc.) where animal waste management activities are being
conducted for the life of this permit. These documents shall be kept in good condition and
records shall be maintained in an orderly fashion.".
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be performed:
1. Comply with the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) and the General
Permit when applying waste using the correct PAN rates as specified for each crop.
Irrigation records should coincide with the CAWMP.
2. Adhere to all of the General Permit conditions.
