Dear Mr. Marble,

Q-
,. j--��
This letter is being sent in response to a Notice of Deficiency letter issued by your office on the
above mentioned facility managed by Murphy Brown, LLC. This facility was impacted by chronic
rainfall which saturated application fields. These conditions did not allow us to land apply in
accordance with permit conditions for a period of time. Instead of land applying in a manner that would
have possibly caused there to be ponding or runoff, we stored the excess rainfall in our lagoon system.
As soon as the weather and field conditions allowed, land irrigation resumed. This facility's freeboard
was reported back in compliance on 311012010.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to call me at [phone] or
email me at [e-mail].

1. We are currently consulting with a technical specialist to correct the waste management
plans in order to bring them into compliance.
2. We have replaced the flex pipe to prevent erosion.
3. We have used "Ally" and ' 2-4D" in the past to control the weed situation. With overseeding
of small grains, you get some competition with crabgrass, which can also make good hay.
4. Waste application records for this farm are sent to our Laurinburg office and recorded. In

purposes.

found to be in violation of your permit as follows:
Violation 1:
Failure to prevent the discharge of waste to surface waters by way of ditches in accordance with the
facilities Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. (Permit No. AWG 100000 Section 1 1)
On May 28, 2014 Michael Ammons reported to DWR that waste flowed from a hog house because of a
blocked line that prevented it from flowing to the lagoon as designed. The waste entered a secondary
containment area that was being drained of rain water. When it was discovered that waste had entered and
mixed with the rain water it had passed the secondary containment and entered a ditch. The ditch
containment gate was closed but not completely, and waste left the property by way of a blue line
ditch/stream.
On May 29, 2014 a site visit was conducted by DWR and it was documented that the waste had been
recovered and returned to the lagoon as required by your permit.'

RECEIVED
JUN - 51014
DENR-FAIYETTEWLLE REGIONAL OFFICE
Dear Mr, Guyton,
This letter is the follow-up to an accidental discharge on farm 57101 reported to you on
Wednesday, May 28, 2014. The sequence of events on 5128114 is:
1) That morning the farm manager opened and started draining the secondary containment
to relieve it from the rainfall that was received the night before and then entered the farm.
The farm crew turned on recycle pumps to fill pits. When they came back from doing
other duties, the pits had overfilled and seeped out of building. They immediately cut off
recycle to stop the source and notified manager of farm.
2) The farm manager went to close the secondary containment to contain the discharge and
noticed that it had gotten past the valve. Then he proceeded to follow it to a flow control
structure which is utilized during irrigation events and closed it as well. At this time he
noticed that some of the discharge had passed this point and was now on adjoining
property.
3) The farm manager immediately activated the EMS Emergency Contact Plan and notified
the LNM Specialist to respond to the accidental discharge.
4) The LNM specialist notified the complex manager and LNM Director of the spill. The
adjoining land owner was also contacted at this time. The remediation efforts were
immediately initiated, which included bringing in a 6 cylinder pump and reel to effectively
pump the effluent directly back into lagoon. At this point, Steve Guyton with the Division of
Water Resources was notified.
5) Clean-up efforts carried on until all traces of discharge were recovered at approximately
9:00pm. At this time a total volume of 44,000 gallons was pumped back into our lagoon.
All equipment remained in place and valves remained closed until the following morning.
We pumped an additional 2,200 gallons after arriving to site to make sure all of the
discharge had been recovered before final inspection. The total Land and Nutrient
Management crew invested over 54 hours in effort to recover all effluent that had been
released.
6) Root Cause: A partially blocked overflow line from the pit of farrowing building caused
water to back up in the house and exit the building. The discharge flowed through the
farm's secondary containment structure and a flow control structure onto adjoining land.
Estimate of the discharge:

• Page 2 June 3, 2014
A) In our estimation not more than 800 gallons was spilled and no more than 200
gallons left the property.
The plan to correct the problems identified from this accidental discharge are to:
1) Work order was generated to maintenance department to unblock the overflow from pits.
2) A new SOP was generated that the manager or designee from the site to remain outside
until the containment is drained and valve has been closed or recycle system has been
cut off. (see attachment)
- Included with this letter is a copy of the most current waste analysis as required by the permit.
I have outlined what information I have available as they relate to this'accidental discharge. I feel that
Murphy -Brown LLC has responded in an appropriate and responsible manner to the conditions of the
permit. Murphy Brown LLC acted quickly in changing the SOP to further reduce the chance of another
accidental discharge.
The Environmental Management System (EMS) proved its' effectiveness by providing the structure and
protocol that all parties involved in the response, did so in.a timely and effective manner.
If I can be of any further assistance, please feel free to contact me.

Changes
The South Central Region implemented a change as of May 30' to the policy for draining secondary containment ponds after a rain event, the change is as
follows:
1. On any farm that has a 12" discharge line the manager or a designee from the farm is expected to remain outside the farm until the secondary
containment has completely drained and the valve is closed.
2. On farms with an 8" discharge line the manager or designee can enter the facility but is expected to visually inspect the containment pond periodically
while still assuming the responsibility for preventing a discharge through the pond.
We have work orders in place to change the 8" discharge line in the secondary containment at 5710 to a 12" line so this farm will be one that the responsible
party is required to stay with the containment while it drains. The idea is to change out all of the 8" lines to 12" and have all of our farms on the same process for
releasing rainwater.

Nutrient concentrations and other data on this report are provided so that waste materials can be applied at agronomic rates, thereby supplementing or reducing fertilizer application and
preventing environmental contamination. In reading the Laboratory Results section, remember that materials with < 15% dry matter (generally liquids) are analyzed as received: all
other wastes are dried first. Values in the Estimate of Nutrients Available for First Crop section are based on the type of waste and method of application you specify and reflect the
fact that only 40-W% of the nitrogen and 70-100% of other nutrients become available within one year of application. The remainder may or may not ever become available.
' ppm = parts per million; S = siemens; mS = millisiemens; T = trace (<0.005 Iblunit); EC = electrical conductivity; CCE = calcium carbonate equivalence; ALE = agricultural lime
equivalence; pH = acidity or basicity; DM% = % dry matter [for semi-solid and solid waste samples, this value facilitates conversion of dry -basis concentrations (ppm) back to wet -basis
of original sample]; C:N ratio = carbon:nitrogen ratio.
