February 1, 2005 Stephen Barnhardt Division of Water Quality/APS 225 Green Street, Suite 714 Fayetteville, NC 28301-5094 Re: NOV for Farm 3728 Facility 9-155 Dear Mr. Barnhardt, RFCX • FEB Q 3 2C:-5 DENR - FAY' -MILE REGUNAL DFRGE 1. The requested records are attached. 2. On the morning of January 13`x, OIC Allen Wooten began irrigating in the solid set field bordering the highway since a slight breeze was blowing away from the highway as was acknowledged by the Division inspector. Every 60 minutes he rotated to a new routine by opening one valve and closing another, making a very light application of about 0.2". One routine included a low area approximately 20' x 30' with the sprinkler head removed. That area included tractor ruts from the wheat planting. This low area, compacted and ridged by tractor tires, held rainwater from the last rain in December. This trapped water would have to travel uphill to leave the field. A minute amount of effluent from the periphery sprinklers did mix with the trapped rainwater but did not present any runoff potential. Some other low areas of the field held trapped rainwater in ruts as well. 3. To prevent this scenario from recurring, this week we are adding additional ball valves to sprinklers surrounding any low areas. We will also disk and level the field once the wheat is harvested. As always, we will choose the driest available conditions for crop planting, but windows are short and some years the conditions are less than ideal. The definition of excessive ponding as "visible liquid waste ponded on the surface of the land application site more than four hours following the application of waste" does not include rainwater trapped by compacted ruts. In all other areas we applied the 0.2" of water it soaked in well before four hours. We had to plant wheat to remain compliant with the permit, but weather conditions through the planting window led to the undesirable ruts. We ask that the Division consider this NOV be re-classified a Notice of Deficiency. Thank you.

Box 856 Warsaw, NC 28398 GD "t U E F„"C-. f c E1F� _t R,- t, L 01RCE I The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 1 of 8 MB001070302B4 This pian is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you' need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility_ In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

The farm should produce adequate plant available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above. The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. in interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine fiches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October, Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. MB00107030288 4 of 8 SLUDGE APPLICATION: The following table describes the annual nitrogen accumulation rate per animal in the lagoon sludge Farm Specifications PAN/yr/animal Farm Total/r 4000 Farrow to Wean 0.84 3360 Farrow to Feeder 1 Farrow to Finish 4.1 Wean to Feeder 0.072 Feeder to Finish 0.36 The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 3360 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 16800 pounds of plant available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 56 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 134.4 acres of land. Please note that these are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal_ APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION: The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to property irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. "This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for X180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables_ Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Gall your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste. 5 of 8 M 600107030269 Application Rate Guide The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

In response to a citizen complaint on February 20, 1997, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office, Division of Water Quality, performed an inspection of your farm located off of Highway 211 (east of Clarkton). The inspection revealed that 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 Elkton Swamp and is considered waters of the State and consequently classified as Class "C -SW" waters. During the investigation, our staff observed that waste was being applied too close to the woods along the field boundary. Upon further investigation, runoff was observed leaving the spray field and entering waters of the State (i.e., Elkton Swamp). Ms. Johnson and Mr. Hayes immediately shut down the irrigation system and began digging a trench around the edge of the spray field to stop the flow of waste. While they worked to stop the flow, our staff took samples of the impacted waters. There were two (2) other areas of runoff that were observed but these did not make it to waters of the State.

Length of time animals have been, are, or will be stabled, or confined and fed or maintained in any 12 month period. Twelve (12) months. 16. Are crops, pasture, or post harvest residues sustained in the normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility? Yes, the farm was designed to have approximately_ 104.5 acres of land on which to Uply waste. The attached certified waste management plan calls for a combination of gLaLm sorghum and wheat to be grown on application sites. AMroxitnately 100 acres are established with oats planted for the winter months. This proR is not ified in the waste management jRlan. 17. Type of Waste Management System: _swine are kept in total confinement free stall barns with slotted floors over flushing nits. Waste is flushed as needed from floor nits into a waste lagoon system. The 1 oon system is composed of one (1) lagoon from which waste can be pumped through buried irrigation nines to hydrants and sprayed on the fields via a "traveller" V ay gun. 18.

Are pollutants discharged in the waters of the State? YES In response to a citizen complaint on February 20, 1997 staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office Division of Water Quality, perfoTmed an ingpection of Brown's of Carolina #28. The inspection revealed that animal waste was being applied in such a manner that caused significant amounts of wastewater to run off the spravfield and enter a nearby wetland area. This wetland area is a tributga of Elkton Swamp and classified as Class "C -SW" waters. During the site visit our staff observed that waste was beim applied too close to the woods along the field boundary and on the edge of a heay_ily sloped area see attached hotos . The waste was applied on two sqparate fields b two separate "traveler" reels and entered a wetland area that is an unnamed tributary of Elkton Swamp -(see attached photos) 24. Do or have discharges occurred in response to a storm event less severe than the 25 -year, hour storm? YES It is the opinion of the writer that discharges of waste have occurred in the past during waste application events. Such a conclusion is based on the condition of the spray field. which was badI,y eroded in certain areas although there was a well established cover crop. In addition. Many_ppdons of the spray fields were heayi v sloped an& as the photos depict, large amounts of top soil and sand has washed down into the wood line and adjacent_ wetlands. These combined factors lend themselves to creating severe run-off problems which have probably led to discharges in the Rast and not in response to a 25 year - 24 hour storm. _ It is also important to note that the lagoons did not have the minimum freeboard and storage of 19" during the inspection (see attached photos). 25. What is the degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to public health, or to private property resulting from the violation?: The discharge has caused the introduction of nutrients into the receiving stream, that will cause or add to the possibility of algal blooms and accelerated eutro hication of the slow moving waters of the receivin stream. Also, samples taken indicate elevated fecal coliform levels downstream., of the facili Sample Results: Sample Location (02120197) 1. Field Discharge-ID#97WE2843 2. Upstream-ID#97WU2844 3. Downstream-ID#97WU2845 Coliform Fecal / 100m1 17,273 <1 600 ***PLEASE SEE ATTACHED COMPLETE LAB RESULTS AND PHOTOGRAPHS FOR MORE INFORMATION*** There are no known public health issues at this time. Waste discharges of this nature may, based on comments from Dr. M.A. Mixson North Carolina Department of Agriculture, Veterinary Division, transport swine diseases if conditions are suitable. 26. What is the duration and gravity of the violation?: At the time of this investigation, waste was being applied and had been being applied for _approximately 30 to 45 minutes according to Mr Ha es and is. Johnson. Due to the saturated condition of the syra _fields, (because of recent rain) and the, severe slope of the fields, run-off occurred almost immediately. The irrigation pmps were turned off as soon as the discharge was discovered. 4 27. Water Quality Assessment: At the time of the inspection. the discharge flow was fust reaching the unnamed tribytau of Elkton Swam . As mentioned earlier, the irrigation event was halted immediately thus reducingpact of the discharge to the Waters of the State. 28. What is the cost of rectifying the damage?: The writer observed no areas that cleanup activities would be recommended. Any cleanup would cause adverse impacts to nearby wetlands. There has been no report of downstream impacts outside _ the area of the investi cation. 29. What is the amount of money saved by noncompliance?: Based on observations made during the investigations, no cost was significantly decreased by over-apt�lying the waste. Although, if enough waste was over.applied, it may have allowed for fewer spraying events in the future and therefore less man hours consumed. 30. Was the violation committed willfully or intentionally?: YES _ NO X Explain: Although it -does seem that the irri a� hon equipment operators should have been more careful in how much and where the waste was being lied it does not gMear that they intended for the waste to reach surface waters. 31. What is the prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority?: The freeboard at this facili has been minimal for the past five months mostly due to the heavy rains at that time. 32. What is the cost to the State for the enforcement procedures?: Regional Costs are as follows: Photo, film and developing: $ 3.43 Mileage: $0.20 per mile for 100 miles: $ .20.00 Fecal Coliform ($22.00 per sample) * 3: $ 66.00 Copies (Sampson County Court House) $ 2.50 John Hasty @ $16.77/hr 2 hours - Drive Time 2 hours - Investigation 6 hours - Report Development 11 hours total $184.47 E Bob Heath @ $16.77/hr 2 hours - Drive Time 2 hours - Investigation 5 hours total $ 83.85 Kerr T. Stevens - I hour (Supervisory Review) $ 35.05 Central Office Reviewis 00.0a TOTAL $495.30 33. Type or general nature of business: Swine Sow Farrow to Wean 9geration 34. What is the violator's degree of cooperation or recalcitrance: Staff from Brown's of Carolina have been very cooperative and have taken stens to try and prevent further discharges from happening in the future. 35. Are there any Mitigating Circumstances?: NO 36. Assessment Factors: a. IWC: Visually Estimated at 1% at the confluence point between discharge goint . Unnamed TributarY_of Elkton Swamp at -the time of the initial investigation. b. Receiving Stream : Unnamed Tributary to Elkton Swamp C. Damage Yes _ No X (Based on observations at the time of the investigation.) If YES, include report from Wildlife Resources Commission. 37. Include a copy of any Designation letter signed by the Director. 38. Recommendations Made to Owner/Operator: At the time of the complaint investigation. 1 - Immediately cease pumping waste on to the fields. 2 - Take immediate action to prevent any future discharge of waste. 3 - Consider multiple applications at a lower rate Rera lication. 4 - Keep the traveler gun away from severely sloped areas during irrigation events when ground is saturated. 39. Recommendations for further DWQ Action: - Notice of Violation LForwardedMarch 101997) - Enforcement Action - Modify existing CAWMP - Reinspection 40. Other Comments: In summary, it is the opinion of this writer that the dischame of waste was accidental even though the nositionina and operation of the spray g_tms was extremely careless. Previously this farm had been issued a notice of deficiency on December 3, 1996 by this office. Their response to this NOD was that due to_the _heM rains during the summer the lagoon had been within the 19" freeboard and thpy were using every opporhmily to }= it down. As mentioned previously, Brown's of Carolina, Inc., ears to be interested in getting this matter resolved and thpy have taken some actions to address the high lagoon level. They have had additional property added to their waste management flan for off-site irrigation. They are also gprigging coastal bgMuda onto ssvrav fields for their warm season irrigation needs. However. during a follow-up visit by John HM and Ed Buchan on March 3 1997 Brown's of Carolina #28 was irrigating on the front field by the entrance road and waste was rung off the field and down the ditch beside said road. The RWR was immediately turned off and attempts were made to stop the flow of waste. This discharge did not reach waters of the State but it did leave the golication field. �i 00 N u �J I a Ml 11 X.J Vic I A l: 4. -7_ +yam �� -'��li �F � - -~'f -, r+- y-1•!er �-_.yt'! ��� � w - T l•� ti ;�- ti� � tri;++,- :' . +J � - z � i f 4 '- � -�. �} s ,_;,+€ y 4i 7�' :; // � � F' t•-•� t�� _ } ;'" Vit. .i `'ri _�.hgc.;� `r ,stFr ''•r :.'

Box 487 Warsaw, NC 28398 SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement Permit No. AWS 090155 Brown's of Carolina Farm #28 Facility No. 09 - 155 Bladen County Dear Mr. Brown: You are hereby notified that, having been 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 2H .0217 Permit. On February 9, 1999, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality inspected the Brown's of Carolina Farm #28 swine facility. This office was informed on February 2, that the lagoon was in the emergency storage level (15 inches), therefore a routine inspection was performed at the site. It was observed that the freeboard level in the lagoon at the time of the inspection was 12 inches and some erosion was noted on one corner of the lagoon dike, as well as in the spray field adjacent to the lagoon. A review of the freeboard records indicated that lagoon was in the emergency storage level (less than 19 inches) approximately two weeks before the regional office was notified. Section III condition 6.e of the General Permit states that "the Permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of any of the following events: (e) Failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage pond greater than or equal to that required in Section V(3) of this General Permit.". The operator in charge for the facility, Roderick Hayes, was contacted on February 12, to follow-up on the lagoon level. Mr. Hayes informed a member of the staff that the lagoon contained only 14 inches of freeboard. Staff decided to make another site visit to the farm 225 GREEN STREET, SUITE 714, FAYETTEVILLE, NORT14 CAROLINA 28301-5049 PHONE 910-488-1541 FAX 910-486-0707 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY /AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER -50% RECYCLED/1 0% POST -CONSUMER PAPER Page 2 Brown's of Carolina Farm #28 February 23, 1999 to review the spray fields since some of the fields were believed to be almost to the point of saturation earlier in the week, and approximately 2 inches of wastewater had been pumped since the site was inspected. Inspectors arrived at the farm and discovered wastewater leaving the front spray field and entering a ditch adjacent to the field. This ditch intersects a second ditch which runs parallel to a nearby railroad track. Wastewater was then traced in this ditch to the point where it intersected Elkton Road (SR 1710). It appeared that no wastewater had entered the culvert, thus not allowing it to flow past this point. The railroad track mentioned above divides the front application fields from -the rest-ofthe farm. After discovering this incident, inspectors then examined the back spray fields for any sign of wastewater runoff. Wastewater was again discovered to be leaving this application field in several different locations. Wastewater was observed to have entered the small stream between the application fields discharging into Elkton Swamp, which is considered to be waters of the state. Wastewater had also discharged into Elkton Swamp at the backside of the spray field located directly behind the lagoon. The investigation of Elkton Swamp revealed what appeared to be evidence of past discharge(s) from this waste application field. Inspectors contacted Jimmy Vinson, with Brown's of Carolina, on his mobile phone to inform him of the problems that had been discovered on the site. Mr. Hayes, the certified operator, was also paged to inform him of the problems. Mr. Hayes was the first one to arrive at the farm. It was recommended to Mr. Hayes to block the entrance point to the ditch, in the front spray field, to prevent any further waste from leaving the field. Mr. Vinson arrived shortly thereafter, and the inspectors informed him of the problems discovered at the farm. Mr. Vinson assured the inspectors that they would recover the waste from the ditches and make every possible effort to recover as much waste from the stream as possible. The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed: 1. Lower the lagoon level to the required freeboard on a suitable waste application field as soon as weather permits and per the CAAW. 2. Consult with a technical specialist in order to correct and prevent any future erosion on the corner of the lagoon dike. 3. Consult with a technical specialist or the local MRCS district for assistance in correcting the erosion problems in the waste application fields. 4. Please provide specific actions proposed to prevent future freeboard deficiencies at this facility, which are not in compliance with the CAWMP or the General Permit. 5. Please provide a review of the adequacy of lagoon storage capacity to determine if more than the current design standard is needed at the facility. 6. Provide a detailed explanation as to why the level of the lagoon had reached such a high level. Page 3 Brown's of Carolina Farm #28 February 23, 1999 Failure to comply with the above conditions may result in the facility's General Permit being revoked and being required to obtain an individual non -discharge permit for the facility. 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 violation. You are hereby notified that based on the above information the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality has no choice but to consider sending recommendations for enforcement action to the Director of the Division of Water Quality. The recommendation concerns the violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 for discharging wastewater into the surface waters of the State from a non -discharge facility. If you have an explanation for these violations that you wish to present to this office please forward a detailed explanation, in writing, of the events noted and why you feel that this office z should not proceed with recommendations for enforcement. This response should be received by this office on or before March 5, 1999. x Information provided to this office will be reviewed and if enforcement is still deemed appropriate, your explanation will be forwarded to the Director with the enforcement package for his consideration.

We request a time at your convenience to review the information and answer any questions you may have. A summary of actions taken include emergency water conservation measures such as ceasing of soaking, washing, cooling etc., no gilt deliveries to sow farms when lagoon Ievel dropped below 19 inches, daily monitoring of lagoon levels, weekly monitoring of water use, and installation of water conservation devices on all sites within the last two years. Specifically, on BOC3730, an irrigation system addition is underway this week and piping installations to expand or improve capability are planned this summer for Owens Branch, Stafford and BOC3417. At Lisbon 1&2, some applications were made with an aerator/drag hose system that incorporated the water to reduce risk of ponding. Please consider the following facts: Last June we requested from DWQ a variance to draw down lagoon levels past stop pump, but only received a letter from NCDA in October which was too late. While any one rain event may not have exceeded the 25- year/24-hour storm, the frequency of one to six inches of rain every week since Thanksgiving 2002 kept spray fields too wet to safely irrigate over. We believe this weather pattern is more severe than the 25 -year event because it continued even after our lagoon storage was utilized. We stored water as per lagoon design rather than risk runoff and water quality impairment this past winter/spring. Also, we did not hesitate to contact your staff as soon as a freeboard level exceeded the maximum and we continue to do our part to maintain a productive relationship based on our mutual goal of protecting our environment. If there is anything that you require in addition to what I have attached please contact me right away at 910-289-6439, ext.4589. Please call me when you are ready to review the information. I request that these NOVs be rescinded upon review of the submitted information. Thank you. Sincerely, Jo i Director of Land and Nutrient Management Murphy -Brown, LLC Rose Hill Division Enc.

L IXEIVD Fr ` 2 5 1999 ' A EM MLLE AEG. �:' of E This letter is a follow-up to the discharge and visit to BOC 28 in Bladen County. The discharge occurred because the operator in charge was using too high of an application rate. While he did not exceed the rate for this soil type, it was too high for the conditions. This should have been a management decision made by him at the time or he should have conferred with me if he was not sure. Also, he should have been monitoring the application more closely. These are things that we have stressed to our employees. We regret the incident and will do whatever it takes to make sure that it does not happen again. After your visit on Friday afternoon, we took every step possible to reclaim the effluent and clean up as much as possible. 1 feel we were successful in getting all of the effluent out of the ditches Ile - but because of the light rain on Friday some may have gotten past the point of recovery. We have made some decisions that will help eliminate this from happening again in the future. Brown's of Carolina is committed to operating our farms in the best way possible. I am available at any time to review this farm and our approach to the operation of this farm whenever it is convenient to you. Again we regret that this happened and that our employees did not follow the best management practices for applying wastewater. If I can be of any further assistance or you need any additional information I can be reached at the office: 910-296-1800 Mobile: 910-296-4463 or my home: 910-658-4212.

I SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement Permit No. AWS 090155 Brown's of Carolina Farm #28 Facility No. 09 - 155 Bladen County Dear Mr. Brown: You are hereby notified that, having been 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 2H.0217 Permit. On February 9, 1999, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality inspected the Brown's of Carolina Farm #28 swine facility. This office was informed on February 2, that the lagoon was in the emergency storage level (15 inches), therefore a routine inspection was performed at the site. It was observed that the freeboard level in the lagoon at the time of the inspection was 12 inches and some erosion was noted on one corner of the lagoon dike, as well as in the spray field adjacent to the lagoon. A review of the freeboard records indicated that lagoon was in the emergency storage level (less than 19 inches) approximately two weeks before the regional office was notified. Section III condition 6.e of the General Permit states that "the Permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of any of the following events: (e) Failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage pond greater than or equal to that required in Section V(3) of this General Permit.". The operator in charge for the facility, Roderick Hayes, was contacted on February 12, to follow-up on the lagoon level. Mr. Hayes informed a member of the staff that the lagoon contained only 14 inches of freeboard. Staff decided to make another site visit to the farm 225 GREEN STREET. 5U1TE 714.

Inspectors arrived at the farm and discovered wastewater leaving the front spray field and entering a ditch adjacent to the field. This ditch intersects a second ditch which nuns parallel to a nearby railroad track. Wastewater was then traced in this ditch to the point where it intersected Elkton Road (SR 1710). It appeared that no wastewater had entered the culvert, thus not allowing it to flow past this point. The railroad track mentioned above divides the front application fields from the rest of the farm. After discovering this incident, inspectors then examined the back spray fields for any sign of wastewater runoff. Wastewater was again discovered to be leaving this application field in several different locations. Wastewater was observed to have entered the small stream between the application fields discharging into Elkton Swamp, which is considered to be waters of the state. Wastewater had also discharged into Elkton Swamp at the backside of the spray. field located directly behind the lagoon. - The investigation of Elkton Swamp revealed what appeared to be evidence of past discharge(s) from this waste application field. Inspectors contacted Jimmy Vinson, with Brown's of Carolina, on his mobile phone to inform him of the problems that had been discovered on the site. Mr. Hayes, the certified operator, was also paged to inform him of the problems. Mr. Hayes was the first one to arrive at the farm. It was recommended to Mr. Hayes to block the entrance point to the ditch, in the front spray field, to prevent any further waste from leaving the field. Mr. Vinson arrived shortly thereafter, and the inspectors informed him of the problems discovered at the fann. Mr. Vinson assured the inspectors that they would recover the waste from the ditches and make every possible effort to recover as much waste from the stream as possible. The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed: 1. Lower the lagoon level to the required freeboard on a suitable waste application field as soon as weather permits and per the CAWMP. 2. Consult with a technical specialist in order to correct and prevent any future erosion on the corner of the lagoon dike. 3. Consult with a technical specialist or the local NRCS district for assistance in correcting the erosion problems in the waste application fields. 4. Please provide specific actions proposed to prevent future freeboard deficiencies at this facility, which are not in compliance with the CAWMP or the General Permit. 5. Please provide a review of the adequacy of lagoon storage capacity to detennine if more than the current design standard is needed at the facility. 6. Provide a detailed explanation as to why the level of the lagoon had reached such a high Ievel. Page 3 Brown's of Carolina Farm #28 February 23, 1999 Failure to comply with the above conditions may result in the facility's General Permit being revoked and being required to obtain an individual non -discharge permit for the facility. Please be advised that this notice does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from tatting 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 violation. You are hereby notified that based on the above information the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality has no choice but to consider sending recommendations for enforcement action to the Director of the Division of Water Quality. The recommendation concerns the violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 for discharging wastewater into the surface waters of the State from a non -discharge facility. If you have an explanation for these violations that you wish to present to this office please forward a detailed explanation, in writing, of the events noted and why you feel that this office should not proceed with recommendations for enforcement. This response should be received by this office on or before March 5, 1999. Information provided to this office will be reviewed and if enforcement is still deemed appropriate, your explanation will be forwarded to the Director with the enforcement package for his consideration - If you onsideration.

G rtCLE This letter is in response to the "Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement" received by Mr. Greg Brown dated February 23, 1999.. Brown's of Carolina, as stated in earlier conversations, sincerely regrets the discharge that took place on BOC 28 on February 12, 1999. The discharge was a result of the operator not using his best judgement as to the application rate during this period. The employee's that were responsible have been dealt with in this case for their lack of judgement. Brown's of Carolina has always tried to instill in all of our employee's that we cannot and will not tolerate any discharges. This discharge was not intentional but was due to a lack of caution. In response to the action items that you requested, we have developed strategies to address each of them. As the weather permits we are currently continuing our efforts to lower the lagoon level to the desired elevation. Additional people are being used to be there and monitor all activities. Glenn Davis, our Farming Manager is personally devoting the necessary time to supervise these efforts. We have relocated all of the possible needed equipment to help in the effort In examining why the lagoon level was high, I can only give two reasons. First, January did present us with rainfall and our operators thought they were doing the right thing in delaying as long as possible any spraying. What hurt our efforts the most was that during this period the production facility was using an excess amount of fresh water. The water use is being closely monitored to help alleviate this part of the problem. All deficiencies will be corrected on the erosion issues as the weather and seeding dates allow. I think our efforts to clean the discharge shows our commitment in solving these and any other potential problems that may arise. I have offered to have DWQ review the clean up and meet with your staff at anytime. BROWN'S OF CAROLINA, INC. 785 HWY 24 EAST . P.O.

I would recommend that you review this document to validate our willingness. This document was signed by the division and Greg Brown. I would hope that our cooperation would help convince you that an enforcement action is not necessary. Brown's of Carolina accepts the responsibility for what happened and will take the necessary actions to make sure this does not occur again.

C?r-i-tCc This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation issued on June 19, 1997. The lagoon at Farm 28 has been high since October of 1996. This farm has been difficult to manage without runoff due to the slope and the lack of established bermuda which was held up by the inclement weather last summer. Coastal was sprigged on the front part of the farm this spring and is to be sprigged on the remaining acres in the next couple of weeks. The oats were picked this past week and irrigation applications are being performed prior to sprigging this week. Since DWQ staff visit on June 19, the lagoon level has been lowered through irrigation by two inches. The lagoon should have the one foot freeboard by the end of this week and the additional storm storage required by the end of the following week.

Stevens Wachovia Building Suite 714 Fayetteville, NC 28301-5043 Dear Mr. Stevens, RECEIVED APR 0 219971 FAYETTE1l Li REG. OFi=i This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation received for Farm 28 on March 12. Due to the high level of the lagoon, irrigation of this land was necessary in less than ideal situations, which led to the runoff observed on February 25. A large portion of the land included in the waste management plan was required to be cleared and was delayed due to the extremely wet weather last summer and fall. Jr . Management of this farm has been difficult due to the slope and the heavy clay soils which was made worse by the high lagoon. Every precaution was taken during the winter to prevent runoff and these were discussed with DWQ inspectors. Since the DWQ visit of February 25, additional measures have been taken to alleviate the level of the lagoon and the irrigation frequency on the present fields. We utilized a soil injector to apply waste to the adjacent landowner's (Timmy Blanks- owner, Harold Wright -operator) fields designated for corn production. Documentation has been filed for the temporary use of these fields and we have the option for future use if necessary. in addition to the injection procedure on adjacent land, irrigation of the present oat crop has continued. The potential for runoff has significantly decreased due to the increased crop stand and the drying of the soil in the last few weeks. These efforts have been successful in bringing the lagoon to a much more manageable level. The fields in front of the farm previously seeded in oats are being prepared for coastal sprigging which should take place in the next couple of weeks and will provide additional irrigation opportunity. The soils are exceptional for crop production and will produce a sufficient stand to minimize runoff on extreme slopes. We realize there are areas that will always need special attention during irrigation applications and have discussed these with the employees responsible. This farm has been a very high priority in our department throughout the winter and will continue to be due to the slopes and the adjacent branch. We feel that the current waste management plan when fully implemented will satisfy both the hydraulic and nutrient loading needed for this farm. We are, however, continuing to evaluate this and will obtain the option to incorporate more land into the plan if necessary. BROWN'S OF CAROLINA. INC, 303 EAST COLLEGE STREET • P.O. BOX 487 • WARSAW.

The inspection revealed that the lagoon serving this operation only had approximately 12 inches of freeboard rather than the necessary 19 inches of freeboard and storage. However, it has been noted by this office that the recent storm events have contributed a great deal to the high freeboard levels in your lagoon and prevented you from land applying the excess waste water at appropriate times. Therefore, it is all the more important for you to lower your lagoon level as soon as possible in order to obtain the necessary storage volume needed during the winter months. While it is essential to lower the lagoon level, it must be done in such a manner that does not allow a discharge of waste to the waters of the State. Failure to comply with these conditions can result in civil and/or criminal penalties or the facility may be required to apply for an individual nondischarge permit_ Please notify this office within thirty days of receipt of this notice at the address below and list what actions have been taken to lower the lagoon level.

As with any sow farm there are also weanlin.g.Pigs Rresent at the farm in addition to the sows. The exact number of weanlings present at the farm is unknown as it varies from week to week. 15. Length of time animals have been, are, or will be stabled, or confined and fed or maintained in any 12 month period. Twelve (12) months. 16. Are crops, pasture, or post harvest residues sustained in the normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility? Yes, the farm was designed to have approximately 104.5 acres of land on which to apply waste. The attached certified waste management plan calls for a combination of grain sorghum and wheat to be Ugwn on Mlication sites. Approximately 100 acres_ are established with oats planted for the winter months. This crop is not specified in the waste management plan. 17. Type of Waste Management System: Swine are kept in total confinement free stall barns with slotted floors over flushing pits. Waste is flushed as needed from floor pits into a waste lagoon system. The lagoon system is composed of one (1) lagoon from which waste can be pumped through buried inieation nines to hvdrants and snraved on the fields via a "traveller" sera 18. Description of other animal operations in immediate vicinity and proximity to same or other surface waters: No other animal operations were noticed in close_ proximity to this farm. 19. Proximity of facility to neighboring houses, wells, etc.: No residences are known to be in close proximity to the farm. 20. Approximate depth of ground water table in the area of the facility or discharge: ??? 21. Proximity of facility to surface waters: Facility_ (edge of lagoons) is located approximately 50 feet from a ditch which empties into _ an unnamed tributary of Elkton Swamp, Class "C -SW" waters. 22. Animal waste discharged. Swine Witnesses: John Hasty, EMO -WO Fayetteville Regional Office 910) 486-1541. Bob Heath, DWO-WO Fayetteville Regional Office (910) 486-1541. 23. Are pollutants discharged in the waters of the State? YES In res onse to a citizen complaint on February 20 1997 staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office, Division of Water Quality, performed an inspection of Brown's of Carolina #28. The inspection revealed that animal waste was being applied in such a manner that caused significant_ amounts of wastewater to run off the sprayfield and enter a nearby wetland area. This wetland area is a tributya of Elkton Sw?—MR and classified as Class "C -SW" waters. During the site visit our staff observed that waste was being applied too close to the woods along the field boundM and on the edge of a heavil sloped area (see attached photos). The waste was applied-on_two separate fields by two separate "traveler" reels and entered a wetland area that is an unnamed tributary of Elkton Swamp (see attached photos). 24. Do or have discharges occurred in response to a storm event less severe than the 25 -year, hour storm? YES. It is the opinion of the writer that dischames of waste have_occurred in the past during waste application events. Such a conclusion is based on the condition of the gpLay field which was badly eroded in certain areas although there was a well established cover crop. In addition, many portions of the spray fields were heavily sloped and as the photos depiqL large amounts of W soil and sand has washed down into the wood line and adiacent wetlands. These combined factors lend themselves to creating severe run-off problems which have probably led to discharges in the past and not in response to a 25 year - 24 hour storm. It is also important to note that the lagoons did not have the minimum freeboard and storage of 19" during the inspection (see attached hotos). 25. What is the degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to public health, or to private property resulting from the violation?: The discharge has caused the introduction of nutrients into the receiving stream, that will cause or add to the possibility of algal blooms and accelerated eutrophication of the slow moving waters of the receiving, stream. Also, samples taken indicate elevated fecal coliform levels downstream of 'the facility. Sample Results: Sample Location (02/20/97) 1. Field Discharge-ID#97WE2843 2. Upstream-ID#97WU2844 Downstream-ID#97WU2845 Coliform, Fecal / 100ml 17,273 C1 600 ***PLEASE SEE ATTACHED COMPLETE LAB RESULTS AND PHOTOGRAPHS -FOR MORE INFORMATION*** There are no known public health issues at this time. Waste discharges of this nature may, based on comments from Dr. M.A. Mixson, North Carolina Department " of Agriculture, Veterinary Division, transport swine diseases if conditions are suitable. 26. What is the duration and gravity of the violation?: At the time of this investigation, waste was being applied and had been being applied fora proximately 30 to 45 minutes accordin to o Mr Hayes and Ms. Johnson. Due to the saturated condition of the ap fields(because of recent rains and the severe slope of the fields run-off occurred ahnost immediately. The irrigation pumps were turned off as soon as the discharge was discovered. n 27. Water Quality Assessment: At the time of the inspection the discharge flow was just reaching the unnamed tributarof Elkton SwamR. As mentioned earlier= the irrigation event was halted immediately, thus reducing the impact of the discharge to the Waters of the State. 28. What is the cost of rectifying the damage?: The writer observed no areas that cleanup activities would be recommended. Any cleanup would cause adverse impacts to nearb wetlands. There has been no report of downstream impacts outside the area of the investigation. 29. What is the amount of money saved by noncompliance?: Based on observations made during the investigations, no cost was significantly decreased by over-gMlying the waste. Althoug1h if enough waste was over -applied, it may have allowed for fewer spraying events in the future and therefore less man hours consamed. 30. Was the violation committed willfully or intentionally?: YES ` NO X Explain: Although it does seem that the irrigation equipment operators should have been more careful in how much and where the waste was being_applied, it does not appear that they intended for the waste to reach surface waters. 31. What is the prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority?: The freeboard at this facility has been minimal for the past_five months mostly due to the heavy rains at that time. 32. What is the cost to the State for the enforcement procedures?: Regional Costs are as follows: Photo, film and developing: $ 3.43 Mileage: $0.20 per mile for 100 miles: $ .20.00 Fecal Coliform ($22.00 per sample) * 3: $ 66.00 Copies (Sampson County Court House) $ 2.50 John Hasty @ $16.771hr 2 hours - Drive Time 2 hours - Investigation 6 hours - Report Development I I hours total $184.47 5 Bob Heath @ $16.77/hr 2 hours - Drive Time 2 hours - Investigation 5 hours total $ 83.85 Kerr T. Stevens - 1 hour (Supervisory Review) $ 35.05 Central Office Review $100.00 TOTAL $495.30 33. Type or general nature of business: Swine, Sow Farrow to Wean Operation 34. What is the violator's degree of cooperation or recalcitrance: Staff from Brown's of Carolina have been very cooperative and have taken stens to gy and prevent further discharges�from happening, in the future. 35. Are there any Mitigating Circumstances?: NO 36. Assessment Factors: a. IWC: Visually Estimated at I% at the confluence goint between dischargepoint Unnamed Tributary of Elkton Swamp_at the time of the initial investigation. b. Receiving Stream : Unnamed Tributary to Elkton Swamp C. Damage Yes _ No X (Based on observations at the time of the investigation.) If YES, include report from Wildlife Resources Commission. 37. Include a copy of any Designation letter signed by the Director. 38. Reconnnendations Made to Owner/Operator: , At the time of the complaint investigation. 1 - Immediately cease pumping waste on to the fields. 2 - Take immediate action to prevent any future discharge of waste. 3 - Consider multiple a lications at a lower rate per application, 4 -Keep the traveler gun awax from severely sloped areas during irrigation events when ground is saturated. 39. Recommendations for further DWQ Action: - Notice of Violation(Forwarded March 10, 19971 - Enforcement Action - Modify existing CAWW - Re_i_nMection 40. Other Comments: in summary, it is the opinion of this writer that the discharge of waste was accidental even thou impositioning and operation of the ray„= _s was extremely careless. Previously this farm had been issued a notice of deficipM on December 3 1996 by this office_ Their response to this NOD was that due to the heavy rains during the surnmer, the !moon had been within the 19" freeboard and they were using every_ 2pportunity to pMR it down. As mentioned previously, Brown's of Carotin Inc. appears to be interested in getting this matter resolved and they have taken some actions to address the hili lagoon level._They have had additional proper_ty added to their waste management plan for off-site irrigation. They are also sprigging coastal bermuda onto WLay fields for their warm season irri anon needs. However, during a folloyLIM visit b John Hasty and Ed Buchan on March 3. 1997, Brown's of Carolina #28 was irrigating on the front, field by the entrance road- and waste was,runnig off the field and down the ditch beside said road. The Rump was immediately turned off and attempts were made to stop the flow of waste. This discharge did not reach waters of the -State but it did leave the application field. 6 0 s P� lb 3.Q U= " \/rl h� OL .� V Y H 6 0 s P� lb 3.Q U= " Ai io , J47 io �Mnli r IF -I Amo - 19 tit :A6 • [�'s:1.'!

In response to a citizen complaint on February 20, 1997, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office, Division of Water Quality, performed an inspection of your farm located off of Highway 211 (east of Clarkton). The inspection revealed that 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 Elkton Swamp and is considered waters of the State and consequently classified as Class "C -SW" waters. During the investigation, our staff observed that waste was being applied too close to the woods along the field boundary. Upon further investigation, runoff was observed leaving the spray field and entering waters of the State (i.e., Elkton Swamp). Ms. Johnson and Mr. Hayes immediately shut down the irrigation system and began digging a trench around the edge of the spray field to stop the flow of waste. While they worked to stop the flow, our staff took samples of the impacted waters. There were two (2) other areas of runoff that were observed but these did not make it to waters of the State.

Consult with a Technical Specialist to determine if sufficient acreage is available to handle the wastewater generated by this operation and if the existing lagoons have sufficient storage volume. 2. Waste Management Plan should address land application during periods when saturated soils are a concern. Failure to comply with the above conditions may result in the facility losing its deemed Permitted status and being required to obtain an individual non -discharge permit for the facility.

Description of other animal operations in immediate vicinity and proximity to same or other surface waters: No other animal operations were noticed in close proximity to this farm. 19. Proximity of facility to neighboring houses, wells, etc.: No residences are known to be in closeroximi to the farm. 20. Approximate depth of ground water table in the area of the facility or discharge: ??? 21. Proximity of facility to surface waters: Facility (edge of IMoons)is located Wroximately 50 feet from a ditch which em ties into an unnamed trihmW of Elkton Swamp, Class "C -SW" waters. 22. Animal waste discharged. Swine Witnesses: John Hasty, DWQ:WQ Fayetteville Regional Office (910) 486-1541. Bob HeadDW -W Fa etteville Regional Office 910 486-1541. 23. Are pollutants discharged in the waters of the State? YES In response to a citizen complaint on FebruM20, 1997, staff from the Fayetteville Re conal Office, Division of Water Quality, performed an insMection of Brown's of Carolina #28. The ' on revealed that animal waste was being lied in such a manner that caused_ significant amounts of wastewater to run off the sprayfeld and enter a nearby wetland area. This wetland area is a tribgtm of Elkton Sw@qpp and classified as Class "C -SW" waters. During the site visit our staff observed that waste was being gpplied too close to the woods along the field boundm and on the edge of a heavil sloped area (see_ attached_ photos). The waste was =lied on two separate fields by two separate "traveler" reels and entered a wetland area that is an unnamed tributary of Elkton Swamp (see attached photos). 24. Do or have discharges occurred in response to a storm event less severe than the 25 -year, hour storm? YES, It is the opinion of the writer that discharges of waste have occurred in the past'during waste application events. Such a_conclusion is based on the condition of the Wray field which_ was badly eroded in certain areas although there was a well established cover MR. In additio mggy portions of the syray fields were heavily sloped and, as the photos depicts lard amounts of top soil and sand has washed down into the wood line and adjacent wetlands. These combined factors lend themselves to creating severe run-off problems which have probably led to discharges in the past and not in r_esnonse to a 25 year - 24 hour storm._ It is also important to note that the lagoons did not have the minimum freeboard and storage of 19" during the inspection (see attached photos). 25. What is the degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to public health, or to private property resulting from the violation?: The discharge has caused the introduction of nutrients into the receiving stream that will cause or add to the possibility of algal blooms and accelerated eutro hication of the slow moving waters of the receiving stream. Also, samples taken indicate elevated fecal coliform levels downstream of the facifiV. Sample Results; Sample Location (02120197) Coliform, Fecal 1 100ml 1. Field Discharge-ID#97WE2843 17,273 2. Upstream-ID#97WU2844 <1 3. Downstream-ID#97WU2845 600 ***PLEASE SEE ATTACHED COMPLETE LAB RESULTS AND PHOTOGRAPHS FOR MORE INFORMATION*** There are no known public health issues at this time. Waste discharges of this nature may, based on comments from Dr. M.A. Mixson. North Carolina Department of Agriculture, Veterinary Division, transport swine diseases if conditions are suitable. 26. What is the duration and gravity of the violation?: At the time of this investigation waste was being applied and had been being applied for approximately 30 to 45 minutes according to Mr Hares and Ms. Johnson. Due to the saturated condition of the spray fields, (because of recent rains) and the severe slope of the fields, run-off occurred almost immediately. The irrigation pumps were turned off as soon as the discharge was discovered. GI 27. Water Quality Assessment: At the time of the inmection, the discharge flow was just reaching the unnamed tribmim of Elkton Swam . As mentioned earlier, the irrigation event was halted immediately, thus reducingpact of the discharge to the Waters of the State. 28. What is the cost of rectifying the damage?: The writer observed no areas that cleanu activities would be recommended. Any clgpw would cause adverse im acts to nearby wetlands. There has been no report of downstream impacts outside the area of the investigation. 29. What is the amount of money saved by noncompliance?: Based on observations made during the investigations, no cost was significantly decreased by over -=lying the waste. Although, if enough waste was over -applied, it may have. allowed for fewer snraying events in the future and therefore less man hours consumed. 30. Was the violation committed willfully or intentionally?: YES _ NO X Explain: Although it does seem that the irri ag tion equipment operators should have been more careful in how much and where the waste was being Mlied. it does not appear that they intended for the waste to reach surface waters. 31. What is the prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority?: The freeboard at this facility has been minimal for the past five months, mostly due to the heavy rains at that time. 32. What is the cost to the State for the enforcement procedures?: Regional Costs are as follows: Photo, film and developing: $ 3.43 Mileage: $0.20 per mile for 100 miles: $ 20.00 Fecal Coliform ($22.00 per sample) * 3: $ 66.00 Copies (Sampson County Court House) $ 2.50 John Hasty @ $16.77/hr 2 hours - Drive Time 2 hours - Investigation 6 hours - Report Development 11 hours total $184.47 5 Bob Heath @ $16.77/hr 2 hours - Drive Time 2 hours - Investigation 5 hours total $ 83.85 Kerr T. Stevens - 1 hour (Supervisory Review) $ 35.05 Central Office Review $100.00 TOTAL $495.30 33. Type or general nature of business: Swine Sow Farrow to Wean QReration 34. What is the violator's degree of cooperation or recalcitrance: Staff from Brown's of Carolina have been very cooperative and have taken steps to try and prevent further discharges from happening in the future. 35. Are there any Mitigating Circumstances?: NO 36. Assessment Factors: a. IWC: Visually Estimated at 1% at the confluence point between discharge point Unnamed Tributary of Elkton Swamp at the time of the initial investigation. b. Receiving Stream : Unnamed Tributary to Elkton Swamp C. Damage Yes _ No X (Based on observations at the time of the investigation.) If YES, include report from Wildlife Resources Commission. 37. Include a copy of any Designation letter signed by the Director. 38. Recommendations Made to Owner/Operator: At the time of the complaint investigation. 1 - Immediately cease pumping waste on to the fields. 2 - Take immediate action to prevent any future discharge of waste. 3 Consider multiple applications at a lower rate per application. 4 - Keep the traveler gun away from severely sloped areas during irrigation events when ground is saturated. 39. Recommendations for further DWQ Action: - Notice of Violation (Forwarded March 10. 1997 - Enforcement Action - Modify existing CAWNT - Reinspection 40. Other Comments: In summary, it is the opinion of this writer that the discharge of waste was accidental even though the ppsitioning and operation of the spray g = was extremel careless. Previously this farm had been issued a notice of deficiency on December 3, 1996 by this office. Their response to this NOD was that due to the heavy rains during the summer, the lagoon had been within the 19" freeboard and they were using every apnortunity to pump it down. As mentioned previously. Brown's of Carolina, Inc., Wears to be interested in getting this matter resolved and they have taken_ some actions to address the high lagoon level. They have had additional property added to their waste management plan for off-site irrigation.. They are also sprigging coastal bermuda onto rafields for their warm season irrigation needs. However durin a follow -u visit b John Hasty and Ed Buchan on March 3, 1997. Brown's of Carolina #28 was irrigating an the front field by the entrance road and waste was runnig off the field and down the ditch beside said road. The pump was immediately turned off and attempts were made to stop the flow of waste. This discharge did not reach waters of the State but it did leave the Application field. 4 Y P lb 30 IQ r C4 ce {1 / ' N �'�.� t, •�;;.t•, !1 Yy?j'.'4 - JAS oil •±I/.�{ � It [ 4+.t�/(t^•-' • � � k ,''I .�.. ; +r; fir: ,� � •? ,� RE , • _ .i � �'� .•t _•. t �' . .tip � ' �. � • � '{� � � � rr Yom. • • i '_ '- � -moi ?a,+.s .+ r'•_c w,�' ti � • . .2'r --fit` f i -y a � ��l + _ it S• - _ 4 � -� ,� ► � ' � � moi•' � � � _ _ ` `�, � it/.�• _.�, ! p - H �; },_.•,_ �..�..-- _. -�%, � --� �. `ice='Y ` _ i � �•• fir � �- Z y s � " • ."tl;� f r Z ~; ; - � � �' �\.. • L MISER] I -mss _ _-.� ~�' - ~. ^'�: -•a."� ~.•<Sr -Q-- _ -. - ,-d• -_�;t� F _-_ _ - _ __ .. -,.mss:. _ �� ,---_'. �� �,•,• A I- - t , _� •4 tea; - l � _ -�. •.�, -? .Pia _ :P�'`y� _ a _„1'' 'a _ `�Yi. ♦ _ - .

In response to a citizen complaint on February 20, 1997, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office, Division of Water Quality, performed an inspection of your farm located off of Highway 211 (east of Clarkton). The inspection revealed that 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 Elkton Swamp and is considered waters of the State and consequently classified as Class "C -SW" waters. During the investigation, our staff observed that waste was being applied too close to the woods along the field boundary. Upon fin Cher investigation, runoff was observed leaving the spray field and entering waters of the State (i.e., Elkton Swamp). Ms. Johnson and Mr. Hayes immediately shut down the irrigation system and began digging a trench around the edge of the spray field to stop the flow of waste. While they worked to stop the flow, our staff took samples of the impacted waters. There were two (2) other areas of runoff that were observed but these did not make it to waters of the State.

Due to the high level of the lagoon, irrigation of this land was necessary in less than ideal situations, which led to the runoff observed on February 25. A large portion of the land included in the waste management plan was required to be cleared and was delayed due to the extremely wet weather last summer and fall. Management of this farm has been difficult due to the slope and the heavy clay soils which was made worse by the high lagoon. Every precaution was taken during the winter to prevent runoff and these were discussed with DWQ inspectors. Since the DWQ visit of February 25, additional measures have been taken to alleviate the level of the lagoon and the irrigation frequency on the present fields. We utilized a soil injector to apply waste to the adjacent landowner's (Timmy Blanks- owner, Harold Wright -operator) fields designated for corn production. Documentation has been filed for the temporary use of these fields and we have the option for future use if necessary. In addition to the injection procedure on adjacent land, irrigation of the present oat crop has continued. The potential for runoff has significantly decreased due to the increased crop stand and the drying of the soil in the last few weeks. These efforts have been successful in bringing the lagoon to a much more manageable level. The fields in front of the farm previously seeded in oats are being prepared for coastal sprigging which should take place in the next couple of weeks and will provide additional irrigation opportunity_ The soils are exceptional for crop production and will produce a sufficient stand to minimize runoff on extreme slopes. We realize there are areas that will always need special attention during irrigation applications and have discussed these with the employees responsible. This farm has been a very high priority in our department throughout the winter and will continue to be due to the slopes and the adjacent branch. We feel that the current waste management plan when fully implemented will satisfy both the hydraulic and nutrient loading needed for this farm. We are, however, continuing to evaluate this and will obtain the option to incorporate more land into the plan if necessary. BROWN'S OF CAROLINA, INC. 303 EAST COLLEGE STREET • P.O- BOX 487 • WARSAW.

Box 487 Warsaw, NC 28398-0487 SUBJECT: NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY Farm 28 Reg.# 09-155 Bladen County Dear Mr. Vinson: On October 23, 1996, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality inspected the Browns of Carolina Company Farm # 28. The inspection revealed that the lagoon serving this operation only had approximately 12 inches of freeboard rather than the necessary 19 inches of freeboard and storage. However, it has been noted by this office that the recent storm events have contributed a great deal to the high freeboard levels in your lagoon and prevented you from land applying the excess waste water at appropriate times. Therefore, it is all the more important for you to lower your lagoon level as soon as possible in order to obtain the necessary storage volume needed during the winter months. While it is essential to lower the lagoon level, it must be done in such a manner that does not allow a discharge of waste to the waters of the State. Failure to comply with these conditions can result in civil and/or criminal penalties or the facility may be required to apply for an individual nondischarge permit. Please notify this office within thirty days of receipt of this notice at the address below and list what actions have been taken to lower the lagoon level. Please be advised that this letter does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking enforcement actions for past or future violations.

While we admit that there was a discharge, we feel it was inadvertent- Brown's nadvertent Brown's of Carolina, Farm #28 waste management plan called for most of the acres to be cleared. We began our clearing efforts at the same time the farm construction started Due to two hurricanes and one tropical storm in addition to a wet winter, we got behind in the spray Iand development. Our farming personnel worked hard to stay up with the lagoon level which put them in the position that caused the runoff. We worked closely with and Rept the Fayetteville office notified after this incident happened on our progress. We were glad to report to them that the lagoon level was down below the 20" freeboard and within where it should be. Brown's of Carolina Farm 28 is the farm that we allowed DEHNR, Ground Water Section to install monitoring wells around the lagoon. With this commitment to work with DWQ, there is no reason to deliberately discharge wastewater, therefore this incident was inadvertent. Our commitment to our employee's, contract partners, our neighbors, and other pork producers is to operate our farms in an environmentally safe manner. We have made some mistakes but have worked equally hard to correct and improve our system_ Thanks for your consideration in this manner.

In response to a citizen complaint on February 20, 1997, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office, Division of Water Quality, performed an inspection of your farm located off of Highway 211 (east of Clarkton). The inspection revealed that 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 Elkton Swamp and is considered waters of the State and consequently classified as Class "C -SW" waters. During the investigation, our staff observed that waste was being applied too close to the woods along the field boundary. Upon further investigation, runoff was observed leaving the spray field and entering waters of the State (i.e., Elkton Swamp). Ms. Johnson and Mr. Hayes immediately shut down the irrigation system and began digging a trench around the edge of the spray field to stop the flow of waste. While they worked to stop the flow, our staff took samples of the impacted waters. There were two (2) other areas of runoff that were observed but these did not make it to waters of the State.

Box 487 Warsaw, NC 28398-0487 SUBJECT: NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY Farm 28 Reg.# 09-155 Bladen County Dear Mr. Vinson: On October 23, 1996, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality inspected the Browns of Carolina Company Farm # 28. The inspection revealed that the lagoon serving this operation only had approximately 12 inches of freeboard rather than the necessary 19 inches of freeboard and storage. However, it has been noted by this office that the recent storm events have contributed a great deal to the high freeboard levels in your lagoon and prevented you from land applying the excess waste water at appropriate times. Therefore, it is all the more important for you to lower your lagoon level as soon as possible in order to obtain the necessary storage volume needed during the winter months. While it is essential to lower the lagoon Ievel, it must be done in such a manner that does not allow a discharge of waste to the waters of the State. Failure to comply with these conditions can result in civil and/or criminal penalties or the facility may be required to apply for an individual nondischarge permit. Please notify this office within thirty days of receipt of this notice at the address below and list what actions have been taken to lower the lagoon level. Please be advised that this letter does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking enforcement actions for past or future violations.

Stevens Wachovia Budding Suite 714 Fayetteville, NC 28301-5043 Dear W. Stevens, RECEIVED APR 0 219971 FAYETTEVIiI P REG. Os RCE This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation received for Farm 28 on March 12. Due to the high level of the lagoon, irrigation of this land was necessary in less than ideal situations, which led to the runoff observed on February 25. A large portion of the land included in the waste management plan was required to be cleared and was delayed due to the extremely wet weather last summer and fall. Management of this farm has been difficult due to the slope and the heavy clay soils which was made worse by the high lagoon. Every precaution was taken during the winter to prevent runoff and these were discussed with DWQ inspectors. Since the DWQ visit of February 25, additional measures have been taken to alleviate the level of the lagoon and the irrigation frequency on the present fields. We utilized a soil injector to apply waste to the adjacent landowner's (Timmy Blanks- owner, Harold Wright -operator) fields designated for corn production. Documentation has been filed for the temporary use of these fields and we have the option for future use if necessary. In addition to the injection procedure on adjacent land, irrigation of the present oat crop has continued. The potential for runoff has significantly decreased due to the increased crop stand and the drying of the soil in the last few weeks. These efforts have been successful in bringing the lagoon to a much more manageable level. _r The fields in front of the farm previously seeded in oats are being prepared for coastal sprigging which should take place in the next couple of weeks and will provide additional irrigation opportunity. The soils are exceptional for crop production and will produce a sufficient stand to minimize runoff on extreme slopes. We realize there are areas that will always need special attention during irrigation applications and have discussed these with the employees responsible. This farm has been a very high priority in our department throughout the winter and will continue to be due to the slopes and the adjacent branch. We feel that the current waste management plan when fully implemented will satisfy both the hydraulic and nutrient loading needed for this farm. We are, however, continuing to evaluate this and will obtain the option to incorporate more land into the plan if necessary. BROWN'S OF CAROLINA, INC. 303 EAST COLLEGE STREET • P.O.

In response to a citizen complaint on February 20, 1997, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office, Division of Water Quality, performed an inspection of your farm located off of Highway 211 (east of Clarkton). The inspection revealed that 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 Elkton Swamp and is considered waters of the State and consequently classified as Class "C -SW" waters. During the investigation, our staff observed that waste was being applied too close to the woods along the field boundary. Upon further investigation, runoff was observed leaving the spray field and entering waters of the State (i.e., Elkton Swamp). Ms. Johnson and Mr. Hayes immediately shut down the irrigation system and began digging a trench around the edge of the spray field to stop the flow of waste. While they worked to stop the flow, our staff took samples of the impacted waters. There were two (2) other areas of runoff that were observed but these did not make it to waters of the State.

Consult with a Technical Specialist to determine if sufficient acreage is available to handle the wastewater generated by this operation and if the existing lagoons have sufficient storage volume. 2. Waste Management Plan should address land application during periods when saturated soils are a concern. Failure to comply with the above conditions may result in the facility losing its deemed permitted status and being required to obtain an individual non -discharge permit for the facility. 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 violations. Furthermore, the Division of Water Quality has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000.00 per day per violation. Please provide a written response to this office on or before March 31, 1997, regarding corrective actions taken or planned.

Preston Howard, Jr., P.E., Director of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), make the following: I. FINDINGS OF FACT: A. Brown's of Carolina, Inc. (BOC) is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the state of North Carolina_ B. Brown's of Carolina, Inc. operates a concentrated animal operation in Bladen County known as the BOC #28 Sow Farm. C. Brown's of Carolina, Inc.'s BOC #28 Sow Farm was deemed permitted as a nondischarge facility on July 10, 1995 in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217. D. On February 20, 1997, DWQ staff observed a discharge of wastewater from the BOC #28 Sow Farm spray fields to an unnamed tributary of Elkton Swamp, which is classified as C Sw waters of the State waters of the State within the Cape Fear River Basin. E. Brown's of Carolina, Inc. had no valid permit for the above-described activity. F. Brown's of Carolina, Inc. was issued Animal Waste Permit No. AWS090155 on May 12, 1997, effective May 12, 1997, with an expiration date of December 31, 2001. G. Condition No. 3 of the General Conditions section of the issued permit requires that adequate storage to contain at a minimum a 25 year, 24 hour storm event, plus an additional 1 foot of freeboard. In either case, the maximum waste level shall not exceed the specified in the Certified Animal Waste Management Pian (CAWMP). H. The BOC #28 Sow Farm CAWMP, dated December 24, 1996, requires storage to contain a 25 year, 24 hour storm and an additional one foot of freeboard as listed on page 6 of the CAWMP. I. Staff of the Fayetteville Regional Office inspected Brown's of Carolina, Inc.'s BOC #28 Sow Farm on June 16, 1997. The lagoon serving the BOC # 28 Sow Farm had approximately 5 inches of freeboard. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $495.30. Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following: II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: A. Brown's of Carolina, Inc. is a "person" within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.6A pursuant to G.S. 143-212(4).

Wheat (2.4 lbs N/bu) " A negative number reflects the total number of lbs of additional N needed to achieve yields on acreage shown in chart. A positive number means additional land is required to utilize the N produced by the animals. This nutrient management plan has been specifically developed for this swine operation. The plan is based on the soil types, crops to be grown, and method of applicdation for this particular operation. The waste must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or ground water. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the ammount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing this nutrient management plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environment- ally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates and leaching potential. Waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than five tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on to land when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or not more than 30 days prior to planting. Soil incorporation of waste will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Annual acreage requirements may be more or less depending upon the waste analysis report for your waste management facility. Prepared b) Concurred i Comments: Producer itle: Date: Date: 7 3 / TIS I understand that I must own or have access to equipment, primarily irrigation equipment, to land apply the animal waste described in this nutrient management plan. This equipment must be available at the appropriate pumping time such that no discharge occurs from the lagoon in a 25 -year I -day storm event. I also certify that the waste will be applied on the land according to this plan at the appropriate times and at rates which produce no runoff.

OFFICE This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation issued on June 19, 1997. The lagoon at Farm 28 has been high since October of 1996. This farm has been difficult to manage without runoff due to the slope and the lack of established bermuda which was held up by the inclement weather last summer. Coastal was sprigged on the front part of the farm this spring and is to be sprigged on the remaining acres in the next couple of weeks. The oats were picked this past week and irrigation applications are being performed prior to sprigging this week. Since DWQ staff visit on June 19, the lagoon level has been lowered through irrigation by two inches. The lagoon should have the one foot freeboard by the end of this week and the additional storm storage required by the end of the following week. If you have further questions, please call me at (910) ?9G-1800. We will be in touch with Ed Buchan this week to inform him of our progress. Sincerely, y R. son BROWN'S OF CAROLINA, INC. 303 EAST COLLEGE STREET • ?.O. BOX 487 • WARSAW, N.C. 28398-0487 - OFFICE: (910)293-2181 6 FAX: (990)2934726 r"!

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for tt r, ul ups it r it re fields wt m a the waste is to be applied. (� pp Q %r ,vr This waste utilization p/cnycujseL s nitrogen as the IlmitlnU rnrtnent. Wasteshould be analyzed before each applicatio . Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste uliliza:ion pian in nater to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied it, an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be. grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Uo'not apply more nitrogen, than the crop carr utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capec:i'.ies, 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tone pnr ar_.rP annually, but less than 10 torts per acre per year providing that adequate filter steps are estabiished_ 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result In runoff to surface ,r.,aters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. 17 t�l�' 0 Page: 1 .3 ,r L7 f'i! it ,4 .�:1 ?�). J.i 5. Wind oonditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the.nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the wasto should be applied to a growing crop or apptiPri not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problerns. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above_ If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan_ Nutrient levels for different application methods er a not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by. the Environmental Management Commission.

The farm should produce adequate plant available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above. Page: 3 The applicator is cautioned that a and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in somc ports of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. In Interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine Inches. Cattle should be rermuved when plants are grazed to a height of four Inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result If small yrairi gats lou high and this will deinatety interfere with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than culling small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is thv normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the smaA (drain PndiQr. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season. depending on the time small grain is planted in Ilia fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Berrnudagrass shni t1d he gra7Pri or rut to a height of about two Inches before drilling for best results.

Actual total acres in this fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attsched map showing the gelds to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 0.84 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year in the in sludge based on the application method listed earlier. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 16800.00 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid hermudsgress haylond at tho rate of 300 pounds of nitroge er acre you will need 56.00 acres of land. If you apply lite sludge to com at a rate o 125 flan er acre, ou will need 134.40 acres of land. Please be a are a ese a on y estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 26% depending on your siudge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and applications. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION: The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs_ This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic so'ids. The application arnount Ahould not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the urup. If surface Irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system iG inStailed to properly irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown In the tables may rnake tirl5 plmi invaild. The following Is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.
