Dear Mr. Marble,
V-

FRO
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 31312010.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to call me at (910) 2$9-6087 or
email me at [e-mail].

Dear Mr. Westerbeek:
Your Animal Waste Management General NPDES Permit contains a condition
that addresses the sludge survey requirement for the lagoon(s) at your animal
feeding operation.
Your NPDES Permit Number NCA209181 Condition 111. 16, on page 10 states:
"All facilities, which are issued a COC to operate under this permit, shall conduct
a survey of the sludge accumulation in all lagoons within one (1) year of receiving
the COC and every year thereafter. This survey shall include but not be limited to
a sketch showing the depth of sludge in the various locations within each lagoon.
This survey shall be submitted as part of the facility's annual report in the year it
was conducted..."
Our records indicate that the Division has not received the sludge survey results
for the year 2005 from your facility and your facility had not previously exempted
based on prior surveys. The form was due March 1, 2006. To avoid possible
enforcement action for a violation of your permit, please submit the results within
thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter to the following address:
