Dear Barefoot:
On April 14, 1997, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality inspected the above Prestage Farms swine facilities. It was observed that animal waste
were being applied to the small grain (rye) crop that exceeds the nitrogen uptake of the crop.
The inspection revealed that the records for the waste application (IRR -1) did not reflect
the actual application of nitrogen applied on the crops. The nitrogen balance record (IRR -2) was
not being calculated for the field numbers 1, 2, & 3 as designated in the waste management plan
resulting in an exceedance to the crop of plant available nitrogen. In order to correct this
deficiency you are requested to implement the following:
1. The certified waste management plan does not include small grains (rye) overseeding. Please
upgrade your certified waste management plans to include the winter overseed and to include the
additional acreage recently cleared and sprigged with coastal bermuda.
2. Begin immediately to calculate the nitrogen balance for the crop field basis on the IRR -2
form to prevent exceedances of the crop uptake.

Dear Mr. Barefoot:
On June 19, 1998, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the
Division of Water Quality inspected the P-17 swine facility. It was observed
that the Bermuda grass spray fields have considerable competition with other
grasses and weeds. It was also observed that the hay bales that are stored at
the facility should be removed annually. In regard to the deficiencies noted
during the inspection, the following actions are requested:
1. Consult with an agriculture extension specialist for assistance in regard
to the removal of the competition grasses and weeds an the evaluation
of the bermuda grass stand.
2. Continue to work on the removal of last seasons bermuda hay bales.
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.

Dear Mr. Barefoot:
On September 25, 1998, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of
the Division of Water Quality reinspected the P-17 swine facility at your
request. It was observed that the bermuda grass spray fields have improved
considerably since the previous inspection on June 19, 1998. The grass and
weed competition had been removed and or controlled in the bermuda grass
spray fields and the bermuda grass was considerated adequate in most of the
fields by the inspector. It was also observed that the majority of the old hay
bales that were stored at the facility had been removed.
After confirming corrections of the deficiencies noted at the facility
previously, this letter is being issued to rescind the Notice of Deficiency

Dear Barefoot:
On April 14, 1997, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality inspected the above Prestage Farms swine facilities. It was observed that animal waste
were being applied to the small grain (rye) crop that exceeds the nitrogen uptake of the crop.
The inspection revealed that the records for the waste application (IRR -1) did not reflect
the actual application of nitrogen applied on the crops. The nitrogen balance record (IRR -2) was
not being calculated for the field numbers 1, 2, & 3 as designated in the waste management plan
resulting in an exceedance to the crop of plant available nitrogen. In order to correct this
deficiency you are requested to implement the following:
1. The certified waste management plass does not include small grains (rye) overseeding. Please
upgrade your certified waste management plans to include the winter overseed and to include the
additional acreage recently cleared and sprigged with coastal bermuda.
2. Begin immediately to calculate the nitrogen balance for the crop field basis on the IRR -2
form to prevent exceedances of the crop uptake.
