This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessed against Prestage Farms, Inc. in the
amount of $4,479.19 including $479.19 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 pursuant to N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A(h). 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:
Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of

2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a
detailed justification for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the
reasonableness of the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure
for contesting the accuracy of any of the statements contained in the

administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of
your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation that there are no
factual or legal issues in dispute. You must execute and return to this
office the attached waiver and stipulation form and a detailed statement
which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-
282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the
petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage
resulting from the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous
violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the
remaining necessary remedial actions. '

Your File No. DD 97-010
Dear Mn Tedder:
This letter is to advise you that Prestage Farms, Inc. (" Prestage'� has elected not to request an
administrative hearing with regard to the above civil penalty assessment, as set forth in Mn A_ Preston
Howard, Jr.'s October 1, 1997 letter. However, Prestage would like to request the Division of Water Quality
to consider mitigation of the amount of the penalty. In that regard, we enclose the waiver and stipulation
form enclosed with Mr. Howard's letter.
Prestage requests a reduction in the penalty amount to $2,479.19, including enforcement costs. Prestage
believes such reduction is justified for the following reasons.
(a) One or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G. S. 143B-282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to
the detriment of Prestage;
(b) Prestage promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the spill; and
(c) The spill was inadvertent and the result of an accident.
The civil penalty assessment factors contained in G. S. 143B-282.1(b) are as follows:
1. The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private
property resulting from the violation;
2. The duration and gravity of the violation;
3. The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or air quality;
4. The cost of rectifying the damage;
5. The amount of money saved by non-compliance;
6. Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
7. The prior record of the violator in complying with or failing to comply with programs over which the
Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority;

Mr. Steve Tedder Page 2 November 3, 1997
8. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
A review of these eight factors indicates that the amount of the penalty should be
reduced. In addition, reasons b. and c. set forth above are incorporated in those factors, and
also justify a reduction in the penalty.
1. The _degree and extent 9f harm_tQ the natural resources of the State to the public
health- or to ovate property resulting from the yiQlation Upon learning of the
discharge, Prestage personnel took immediate action to mitigate the damage by creating
beans in several locations in the spray field, damming a culvert under the farm road, and
damming the state roadside ditch. The Wastewater accumulated in those sites was
o s t,..1_ O'_`_o &.e spray �01,7, ,• � .+ Aid rot rain on Febr,.n,y 24t` or 25's, so
Prestage believes that there was minimal damage to Brown Marsh Swamp. .
2, Ibc duration and gmli_IZEf the violation The spray field was turned on around 2:00 p.
m. on February 24, 1997. Had the timer worked correctly, the spraying would have
ceased at 4:00 p. m. on February 24�. Had Mr. Sanderson followed company policy and
checked the spray field, the spraying would have ceased at 6:00 p. m. on February 2e.
The discharge was discovered around noon on February 25, 1997. Prestage estimates
that the spray field could have held the wastewater well beyond 6:00 p. m. on February
24'h, the time which Mr. Sanderson should have returned.
3. ]Jae_e_ffecl ou ground or surface water ai y or quality or air quualit�: See T 1 above.
4. The cost of rectifying the__dam= Prestage Farms has borne the entire cost of
rectifying the damage. The remedial measures taken are described in I 1 above. Prestage
estimates that cost to be in excess of $3,000.
S. Thno]jnt g_f money saved by non-compliance Prestage did not save any money
because of the non-compliance; in fact, expenses other than normal were incurred by
Prestage as a result of this non-compliance. The incident in question was due in part to
mechanical failure and was entirely accidental. Your office already has correspondence
from Prestage responding to the initial Notice of Violation from Glenn Clifton,
Technical Specialist, and Wayne O. Sanderson, the employee who Was directly involved at
the time of the spill. Copies of that correspondence are enclosed. That correspondence
clearly establishes that the spill was accidental, caused by a malfunctioning timer. In
addition, had Mn Sanderson followed company policy and checked the field every four
hours, the spill would not have occurred, and there would have been no cost to Prestage.
6. Whetherrthe violation was committed -willfully or intentionally As discussed in $ 5
above, the violation was neither willful nor intentional.

Steve Tedder Page 3 November 3, 1997
7. The prior record of the ,violator in, complying_with or failing to comply, with proms
over which the Environmental Mana-aernent Commission has regulatiory authority
Although Prestage owns and operates over 40 hog farms in North Carolina, there has
been only one prior violation in the 14 year history of the company. That occurred in
1996, and resulted in a civil penalty of $2,412.22, which Prestage paid. In addition,
Prestage contracts with over 200 independent swine producers, who also have an
excellent environmental record.
S. The cost to the Sate of the enforcemnnt._procedures The State has estimated its
enforcement costs to be $479.19. Prestage does not dispute those costs.
Prestage recognizes ha—, ,':e '~uect - cf t!-:E Di:.E:c-- _ r `Va' -- Q,_ ';- has rot iss�na
the maximum penalty, and obviously has taken these factors into account to some degree.
Prestage recognizes its responsibility for its equipment and employees, and consequently has
not sought to challenge the Director's decision by filing a request for an administrative
hearing However, as discussed above, since this spill was an isolated incident; was
unintentional, and was promptly and thoroughly abated by Prestage employees, Prestage "
believes that a lower penalty amount is warranted. Prestage Farms takes pride in ensuring
everything possible is done to keep its operations in compliance with state regulations, and
that when errors do occur, they are corrected promptly. We believe that this was done in this
case, and respectfully request that the Division consider mitigating the civil penalty assessed
to the amount of $2,000, together with the Division's enforcement cost of $479.19, for a
total amount of $2,479.19.

Dear Mr. Stevens:
Subject: Response to Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement PX-10 From the
Fayetteville Regional Office Dated 3/7/97 Regarding Prestage Farms, PX-10,
Bladen County
This letter is in response to the above communication received by Prestage Farms on 3/12/97. We at
Prestage Farms, Inc. have read Wayne Sander -sods account of the events of February 24, 1997, and agree
with all the information in the letter he wrote to Ed Buchan (copy enclosed).
It is the policy of Prestage Farms that an irrigation system be checked every four hours while effluent is
being applied. We chose to take employee disciplinary action in this situation as company policy was
violated. Since that time, W. Sanderson has resigned employment with Prestage Farms of his own free
will.
We understand that there were unusual circumstances in this situation --the malfunction of the timer and
the transmission of Mr. Sanderson's truck. However, Mr. Sanderson had a radio in his truck and could
have reached another employee and asked for assistance in checking the irrigation system_ Also, he could
have gained access to a telephone, and called for assistance.
Should you need any clarification of the information contained in this communication, do not hesitate to
call me at [phone].
Sincerely,

Dear Sir:
I am writing to inform you of the events of February 24, 1997. I am an employee
of Prestage Farms. One of my responsibilities is waste management of farms P-10, P-I5,
P-17A and P-i7B in Bladen County. I was operating the irrigation systems on these
far.:s L_ I-- F,-`:_ •'a- dv. It was 2:00 wh•e_+ 1 started the system— on P-10. It bas a
10hp electric pump with a timer and 10 sprinklers that are moveable. I set the timer for
two hours and moved on to the next farm. After making the rounds to the *A?*+g
1rms I left P-17B on NC Hwy 87 S around 4:30- 5:00pm. My plan was to backtrack
checking all of the pumps I had started earlier. My truck, Prestage #528, would not shift
out of low gear. I called the shop and got the voice mail. I decided to try to make it buck
to Eliza a Mown, however the truck continued to shift in and out of high gear. I was
approaching the western side of White Lake when high gear went out . I drove to the
Scotchman in White Lake (2 miles) in low gear. There, I checked the transmission fluid.
It was lull, but I added a quart anyway. I called the shop again and they advised me to try
to make it back to the Prestage office and garage. This would have been about a 30 mile
drive. When the truck continued to shift form high to low I decided that it might not
make the trip. I drove to my own hog farm in Harrells because it was about half the
distance and the truck could be secured until it could be picked up. The high gear went
out about halfway there and I drove the remaining 7-8 miles at approximately 15-20 mph.
The truck had to be picked up with a wrecker the next morning and taken for repairs at Hi
Tech Transmission in Fayetteville. This was the chain of events that prevented me from
returning to P-10 to varify that the pump had shut oi£ Needless to say, it had not. The
next morning I found out that it had continued to run until noon. I checked the timer and
found that it was hung on 2 hours.
This is not an attempt to make excuses. I simply want to make sure the facts
surrounding the event are clear. I would life to request that my certificate NOT be
revoked. I own my own hog farm and it is necessary for this operation_ I am requesting,
however, that my name and certificate number be removed from any farm that Prestage
owns_ I will not put my certificate in jeopardy again, for anyone.
Sincerely,
Wayne O. Sanderson

Dear Mr. Stevens:
Subject: Response to Notice of Violation from Fayetteville Regional Office Dated
3/7/97 Regarding Prestage Farms, PX-10, Bladen County
This letter is in response to the above communication received by Prestage Farms on
3/12/97. Per your request, I am submitting a response of corrective actions taken or
planned by Prestage Farms regarding three (3) items you outlined in your communica-
ation.
1. Prestage Farms personnel took action to immediately eliminate discharge and created
berms in several locations in the spray field to contain the wastewater on site. A culvert
under the farm road was dammed -up at the inlet end, and the state road side ditch also
was dammed to prevent discharge. The accumulation of wastewater at these two sites
was pumped back on the spray field as to the best of our ability. This section of the
spray field has been allowed to dry before any further application.
2. The pump's timer switch which malfunctioned and resulted in the over -application
of effluent at PX-10 has been replaced. In addition, all certified operators -in -charge for
Prestage Farms have been required to review procedures regarding the use of such
timers and the monitoring of application events. (Note: Company procedures require
operators to check application sites and pumps at least every four hours or less. Certain
farm sites are designated such that operators must remain on -site during entire
application events.)
Detailed internal communication policies are currently being designed that will require
notification of other personnel for back-up monitoring in case of emergencies or
situations that would not permit frequent monitoring of the application site by the
designated operator -in -charge (as occurred on February 24, 1997 at PX-10 when the
operator's vehicular problems prevented him from returning to the application site).

Dear Mr. Buchan:
A14 Y 1 9 1997
As requested from the Fayetteville Regional Office, Division of Water Quality, the
following items have been addressed:
1. Discharge of wastewater was immediately eliminated.
2. The Waste Utilization Plan was reviewed and modified to reflect the most current
USDA-NRCS standards, such as the following:
a) Reduced nitrogen and application rate.
b) Additional land for spray field.
c) Additional irrigation system installed.
d) An operation and maintenance plan for an irrigation system is being developed.
In addition, we will follow this plan of action:
e) By May 31, 1997, the areas in field #1 (fescue) that have bare spots will be
seeded to millet as a summer temporary cover and continue to graze this field.
f) By October 15, 1997, we will renovate field # 1 by disking, land smoothing to
remove pockets for standing water, and re -seed to fescue.
g) When irrigation occurs at PX-10, an operator in charge will remain on site to
evaluate the system and spray field to prevent over application.
h) Application records will be maintained by operator in charge.
3. We have obtained and are implementing a Certified Waste Management Plan as of
May 9, 1997.

Dear Sir:
I am writing to inform you of the events of Febniary 24, 1997. I am an employee
of Prestage Farms. One of my responsibilities is waste management of farms P-10, P-15,
P-17A and P-17B in $laden County. I was operating the irrigation systems on these
farms on this particular day. It was 2:00 pm when I started the system on P-10. It has a
I0hp electric pump with a timer and 10 sprinklers that are moveable. I set the timer for
two hours and moved on to the next farm. After making the rounds to the remaining
farms I left P-17B on NC Hwy 87 S around 4:30- 5:00pm. My plan was to backtrack
checking all of the pumps I had started earlier. My truck, Prestage #528, would not shift
out of low gear. I called the shop and got the voice mail. I decided to try to make it back
to Elizabethtown, however the truck continued to shift in and out of high gear. I was
approaching the western side of White Lake when High gear went out . I drove to the
Scotchman in White Lake (2 miles) in low gear. There, I checked the transmission fluid..
It was full, but I added a quart anyway. I called the shop again and they advised me to try
to make it back to the Prestage office and garage. This would have been about a 30 mile
drive. When the truck continued to shift form high to low I decided that it might not
make the trip. I drove to my own hog farm in Harrells because it was about half the
distance and the truck could be secured until it could be picked up. The high gear went
out about halfway there and I drove the remaining 7-8 miles at approximately 15-20 mph -
The truck had to be picked up with a wrecker the next morning and taken for repairs at Hi
Tech Transmission in Fayetteville. This was the chain of events that prevented me from
returning to P-10 to varify that the pump had shut off. Needless to say, it had not. The
next morning I found out that it had continued to run until noon. I checked the timer and
found that it was hung on 2 hours.
This is not an attempt to make excuses. I simply want to mare sure the facts
surrounding the event are clear. I would like to request that my certificate NOT be
revoked. I own my own hog farm and it is necessary for this operation. I am requesting,
however, that my name and certificate number be removed from any farm that Prestage
owns. I will not put my certificate in jeopardy again, for anyone.
Sincerely,

Subject: Response to Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement PX-10 From the
Fayetteville Regional Office Dated 3/7/97 Regarding Prestage Farms, PX-10,
Bladen County
This letter is in response to the above communication received by Prestage Farms on 3/12/97. We at
Prestage Farms, Inc. have read Wayne Sanderson's account of the events of February 24, 1997, and agree
with all the information in the letter he wrote to Ed Buchan (copy enclosed).
It is the policy of Prestage Farms that an irrigation system be checked every four hours while effluent is
being applied. We chose to take employee disciplinary action in this situation as company policy was
violated. Since that time, Mr. Sanderson has resigned employment with Prestage Farms of his own free
will.
We understand that there were unusual circumstances in this situation --the malfunction of the timer and

Dear Sir:
I am writing to inform you of the events of February 24, 1997. I am an employee
of Prestage Farms. One of my responsibilities is waste management of farms P-10, P-15,
P-17A and P-17B in Bladen County. I was operating the irrigation systems on these
fawns on this particular day. It was 2:00 pm when I started the system on P-10. It has a
10hp electric pump with a timer and 10 sprinklers that are moveable. I set the timer for
two hours and moved on to the next farm After making the rounds to the remaining
farms I left P-17B on NC Hwy 87 S around 4:30- 5:00pm. My plan was to backtrack
checking all of the pumps I had started earlier. My truck, Prestage #528, would not shift
out of low gear. I called the shop and got the voice mail- I decided to try to make it back
to Elizabethtown, however the truck continued to shift in and out of high gear. I was
approaching the western side of White Lake when high gear went out. I drove to the
Scotchman in White Lake (2 miles) in low gear. There, I checked the transmission fluid.
It was full, but I added a quart anyway. I called the shop again and they advised me to try
to make it back to the Prestage office and garage. This would have been about a 30 mile
drive. When the truck continued to shift form high to low I decided that it might not
make the trip. I drove to my own hog farm in Harrells because it was about half the
distance and the truck could be secured until it could be picked up. The high gear went
out about halfway there and I drove the remaining 7-8 miles at approximately 15-20 mph.
The truck had to be picked up with a wrecker the next morning and taken for repairs at IR
Tech Transmission in Fayetteville. This was the chain of events that prevented me from
returning to P-10 to varify that the pump had shut off. Needless to say, it had not. The
next morning I found out that it had continued to run until noon. I checked the timer and
found that it was hung on 2 hours.
This is not an attempt to make excuses. I simply want to make sure the facts
surrounding the event are clear. I would like to request that my certificate NOT be
revoked. I own my own hog farm and it is necessary for this operation. I am requesting,
however, that my name and certificate number be removed from any farm that Prestage
owns. I will not put my certificate in Jeopardy again, for anyone.
Sincerely,
Wayne O. Sanderson

Dear Mr. Prestage:
You are hereby notified that, having been deemed permitted to have a non discharge permit for the
subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217, you have been found to be
in violation of your 211 .0217 Permit.
In response to citizen complaint on February 25, 1996, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of
the Division of Water Quality performed an inspection of your farm located off SR1172. The
inspection revealed animal waste had been applied in such a manner that caused significant amounts
of wastewater to runoff the spray field and enter a nearby wetland area. This wetland area is a
tributary to Broom Marsh Swamp and is considered waters of the State and consequently is classified
as Class "C-SW" waters. Farm staff present during the investigation indicated that a timer, which
was designed to stop the lagoon pump, failed and subsequently allowed the irrigation system to apply
waste continuously for 23 hours. This over -saturation clearly caused the discharge of waste to
surface waters of the State as documented during the investigation. To prevent discharge problems
in the future, it may become necessary to avoid reliance on pump timers and require farm staff to
frequently monitor the condition of the spray field.

Please be advised that this notice does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking
enforcement actions for this violation or any past or future violation. Furthermore, the Division of
Water Quality has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000.00 per day per

Dear Mr. Stevens:
Subject: Response to Notice of Violation from Fayetteville Regional Office Dated
3/7/97 Regarding Prestage Farms, PX-10, Bladen County
This letter is in response to the above communication received by Prestage Farms on
3/12/97. Per your request, I am submitting a response of corrective actions taken or
planned by Prestage Farms regarding three (3) items you outlined in your communica-
ation.
1. Prestage Farms personnel took action to immediately eliminate discharge and created
berms in several locations in the spray field to contain the wastewater on site. A culvert
under the farm road was dammed -up at the inlet end, and the state road side ditch also
was dammed to prevent discharge. The accumulation of wastewater at these two sites
was pumped back on the spray Field as to the best of our ability. This section of the
spray field has been allowed to dry before any further application_
2. The pump's tuner switch which malfunctioned and resulted in the over -application
of effluent at PX-10 has been replaced. In addition, all certified operators -in -charge for
Prestage Farms have been required to review procedures regarding the use of such
timers and the monitoring of application events. (Note: Company procedures require
operators to check application sites and pumps at least every four hours or less. Certain
farm sites are designated such that operators must remain on -site during entire
application events.)
Detailed internal communication policies are currently being designed that will require
notification of other personnel for back-up monitoring in case of emergencies or
situations that would not permit frequent monitoring of the application site by the
designated operator -in -charge (as occurred on February 24, 1997 at PX 10 when the
operator's vehicular problems prevented him from returning to the application site).

Bladen County
Dear Mr. Prestage:
You are hereby notified that, having been deemed permitted to have a non discharge permit for the
subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to 1 SA NCAC 2H .0217, you have been found to be
in violation of your 2H .0217 Permit.
In response to citizen complaint on Febniary 25, 1996, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of
the Division of Water Quality performed an inspection of your farm located off SRl 172. The
inspection revealed animal waste had been applied in such a manner that caused significant amounts
of wastewater to runoff the spray field and enter a nearby wetland area. This wetland area is a
tributary to Brown Marsh Swamp and is considered waters of the State and consequently is classified
as Class "C-SW" waters. Farm staff present during the investigation indicated that a timer, which
was designed to stop the lagoon pump, failed and subsequently allowed the irrigation system to apply
waste continuously for 23 hours_ This over -saturation clearly caused the discharge of waste to
surface waters of the State as documented during the investigation. To prevent discharge problems
in the future, it may become necessary to avoid reliance on pump timers and require farm staff to
frequently monitor the condition of the spray field.

Subject: Response to Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement PX-10 From the
Fayetteville Regional Office Dated 3/7/97 Regarding Prestage Farms, PX-10,
Bladen County
This letter is in response to the above communication received by Prestage Farms on 3/12/97. We at
Prestage Farms, Inc. have read Wayne Sanderson's account of the events of February 24, 1997, and agree
with all the information in the letter he wrote to Ed Buchan (copy enclosed).
It is the policy of Prestage Farms that an irrigation system be checked every four hours while effluent is
being applied. We chose to take employee disciplinary action in this situation as company policy was
violated. Since that time, Mr. Sanderson has resigned employment with Prestage Farms of his own free
will.
We understand that there were unusual circumstances .in this situation --the malfunction of the timer and
the transmission of W. Sanderson's truck. However, Mr. Sanderson had a radio in his truck and could
have reached another employee and asked for assistance in checking the irrigation system. Also, he could
have gained access to a telephone, and called for assistance.
Should you need any clarification of the information contained in this communication, do not hesitate to
call me at [phone].

Dear Sir:
I am writing to inform you of the events of February 24, 1997. I am an employee
of Prestage Farms. One of my responsibilities is waste management of farms P-10, P-15,
P-17A and P-17B in Bladen County. I was operating the irrigation systems on these
farms on this particular day. It was 2:00 pm when I started the system on P- I 0. It has a
I Ohp electric pump with a timer and 10 sprinklers that are moveable. I set the timer for
two hours and moved onto the next farm. After making the rounds to the remaining
farms I left P-17B on NC Hwy 87 S around 4:30- 5:00pm. My plan was to backtrack
checking all of the pumps I had started earlier. My truck, Prestage 4528, would not shift
out of low gear. I called the shop and got the voice mail I decided to try to make it back
to Elizabethtown, however the truck continued to shift in and out of high gear. I was
approaching the western side of White Lake when high gear went out. I drove to the
Scotchman in White Lake (2 miles) in low gear. There, I checked the transmission fluid.
It was full, but I added a quart anyway. I called the shop again and they advised me to try
to make it back to the Prestage office and garage. This would have been about a 30 mile
drive. When the truck continued to shift form hieh to low I decided that it might not
make the trip. I drove to my own hog farm in Harrells because it was about half the
distance and the truck could be secured until it could be picked up. The high gear went
out about halfway there and I drove the remaining 7-8 miles at approximately 15-20 mph -
The truck had to be picked up with a wrecker the next morning and taken for repairs at Hi
T ech Transmission in Fayetteville. This was the chain of events that prevented me from
returning to P-10 to varify that the pump had shut off Needless to say, it had not. The
next morning I found out that it had continued to run until noon. I checked the timer and
found that it was hung on 2 hours.
This is not an attempt to make excuses. I simply want to make sure the facts
surrounding the event are clear. I would like to. request that my certificate NOT be
revoked. I own my own hog farm and it is necessary for this operation- I am requesting,
however, that my name and certificate number be removed from any farm that Prestage
owns- I will not put my certificate in jeopardy again, for anyone.
Sincerely,
Wayne O. Sanderson
