Mr. Singletary, ,
Upon yourrequest, and by recollimendation of the NC Division oi-water Quality (DWQ}� we
visited your swine farm located behind your home on Richardson Rdad to evaluate for a ; k, i
potential leak in one of your lall
groiaris. it is my understanding that the, DWQ has perceived a y;3, I r
potential point of waste discharge coming from a drainage pipe 10ECJed in the dike wall between
your two-stage lagoon. It is also my understanding that a water saipic was taken from this
surface water conveyance pipe shortly after a rainfall event {i
We evaluated this site today with you to try to determine why the water sample results showed :111
elevated nitrates. On aur visit it appeared that both stages of youi lagoons were well bciciw the 1
start pump elevation. Therc is no evidence that this pipe has been disturbed OT disrupted From
the surface of the lagoon dike. We noted no inflow of water or effluent into the sccondarV
lagoon through the dike wall nor did we note any "soggy" spots on'thc interior of the secondary
lagoon on our visit. It does not appear to us that the upper lagoon has seeped into the drainage
pipe between the lagoons. The*atcr in the drainage pipe had a vslow drip into the a "scent
stream which we suspect is the slow drainage of the surface water from the previous rainfall
m
it, ; ri .. !; i 41
l; .I
event over the weekend. The w1ater coming from this drip wasvery clear and was not di"lored
i
i as normal lagoon water would bV
We next'insp ccted the exterior-of the two empty swine houses as'well as the exterior of the one i{
populated swine house and found no evidence of a leakage which-,66uld end up in the surface
water drainage system. We did notice two small areas between theYempty hog houses
.F..rr
were overgrown in ryegrass. It aS revealed in our discussion vvilh ,you that during the s mmer,'• ; ; .f ,
you periodically graze these two arms about once every 30 days,With approximately 30 oats to t
= a. t Afo14
keep the vegetation low. This'dea drains directly to the surface water drainage system. �t is our •. if
best•ud
] gment that the elevated nitrates could be the resl�ll otgoat waste in these grazed ¢rens •
which may reach the drainage system during rainfall events. This could be why the wate" quality
was altered in the drainage water sample taken after the rainfall event.. i

Upon your request, and by recommendation of the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ), we
visited your swine farm located behind your home on Richardson Road to evaluate for a
potential leak in one of your lagoons. It is my understanding that the DWQ has perceived a
potential point of waste discharge coming from a drainage pipe located in the dike wall between
your two-stage lagoon. It is also my understanding that a water sample was taken from this
surface water conveyance pipe shortly after a rainfall event.
We evaluated this site today with you to try to determine why the water sample results showed
elevated nitrates. On our visit it appeared that both stages of your lagoons were well below the
start pump elevation. There is no evidence that this pipe has been disturbed or disrupted from
the surface of the lagoon dike. We noted no inflow of water or effluent into the secondary
lagoon through the dike wall nor did we note any "soggy" spots on the interior of the secondary
lagoon on our visit. It does not appear to us that the upper lagoon has seeped into the drainage
pipe between the lagoons. The water in the drainage pipe had a very slow drip into the adjacent
stream which we suspect is the slow drainage of the surface water from the previous rainfall
event over the weekend. The water coming from this drip was very clear and was not discolored
as normal lagoon water would be.
We next inspected the exterior of the two empty swine houses as well as the exterior of the one
populated swine house and found no evidence of a leakage which could end up in the surface
water drainage system. We did notice two small areas between the empty hog houses which
were overgrown in ryegrass. It was revealed in our discussion with you that during the summer,
you periodically graze these two areas about once every 30 days with approximately 30 goats to
keep the vegetation low. This area drains directly to the surface water drainage system. It is our
best judgment that the elevated nitrates could be the result of goat waste in these grazed areas
which may reach the drainage system during rainfall events. This could be why the water quality
was altered in the drainage water sample taken after the rainfall event.

Our recommendations are as follows:
1. Prevent goats from grazing the areas between the lagoons, thereby eliminating a potential
source of nitrates entering the surface water drainage system.
2. Periodically resample the water which drips from the outlet pipe during normal, dry
conditions to ascertain if the nitrate levels continue to be elevated outside of rainfall
events.
3. Establish and maintain good vegetation in surface water drainage swales to encourage
nutrient scavenging and to prevent soil erosion of these areas.
If these recommendations are followed and the nitrates in the water samples continue to be
elevated, then we should consider the potential for a break in the drainage pipe which could, if
the lagoon is seeping, cause a discharge.

®Other (specify):For 5G2223, the Nutrients group received one bottle of sample that had been preserved with sulfuric acid. The
field sheet indicated that nitrate had been requested. To determine a nitrate value, a bottle of sample that has not been acid -
preserved nmtst be submitted along with a bottle of acid -preserved sample. The bottle of unpreserved sample is used for nitrite
analysis, the result of which is used with the NO3+NO2 analytical result (analyzed using acid -preserved sample) to calculate the
nitrate concentration.
Comments: The acid -preserved sample will be analyzed for NO3+NO2.
Corrective Action:When a nitrate value is needed for a station location, please submit one bottle of acid -preserved sample and
one bottle of unpreserved sample to the Nutrients group.

®Other (specify):For 5G2223, the Nutrients group received one bottle of sample that had been preserved with sulfuric acid. The
field sheet indicated that nitrate had been requested. To determine a nitrate value, a bottle of sample that has not been acid -
preserved must be submitted along with a bottle of acid -preserved sample. The bottle of unpreserved sample is used for nitrite
analysis, the result of which is used with the NO3+NO2 analytical result (analyzed using acid -preserved sample) to calculate the
nitrate concentration.
Comments: The acid -preserved sample will be analyzed for NO3+NO2.
Corrective Action:When a nitrate value is needed for a station location, please submit one bottle of acid -preserved sample and
one bottle of unpreserved sample to the Nutrients group.

sludge portion of the core of liquid and sludge should be released into the bucket and sampled.
Another method of obtaining a sludge sample is with a "grab sampler," such as the Ekman Bottom
Grab Sampler j.
If you are unsure how the sludge will be removed, take a sample of sludge only and a sample of the
sludge/ligiiid entire core, label them separately, and have both analyzed.
For more information on preparing samples for analysis, consult Sludge Management .& Closure
Procedures for Anaerobic Lagoons (AG -604); Chapter 3, "Tools for the Plan," Certification Training
Manual for Operators of Animal Waste Management Systems (AG -538); or Soil Facts: Waste

Notes
I Sludge Gun Model 10 from Markland Specialty Engineering Ltd. of Toronto, Canada, has a price, including
shipment, of $875; it includes a 10 -meter cable marked in feet. Phone [phone]; email:
[e-mail]; or online at www.sludgecontrols.com. It makes an audible sound when the
sludge layer is detected.
2 Raven Sludge Detector by Raven Environmental Products can be ordered from USA BlueBook (item #
41424), Phone [phone]. Price about $450. The meter dial pointer "peaks" when sludge layer is
detected.
3 Sludge Judge information can be found online at www.poilardwater.com (3 types with prices of about $60 to
$90 for a 154bot length in three 5 -Boot sections); phone [phone]; or at Wildlife Supply Co.,
www.wildco.com (1 type with price of about $70 for 15-11not length); phone [phone].
4 The electronic sonar depth finder method should be used only by individuals who have experience with
equipment set-up and operation. In addition, the operation of any equipment should be verified under lagoon
conditions before actually being used on a boat in a lagoon.
5 The Ekman Bottom Grab Sampler is available from various sources, such as Wildlife Supply Co., online at
www.wildco.com; phone [phone].

The average thickness of the sludge layer is determined from information on the Lagoon Sludge
Survey Porm. in this example, the average sludge layer ttuckness is -L.:k teet. 'l he dirnensions of the
lagoon and the side slope are needed for calculations. If the lagoon is a standard geometric shape, the
volume of sludge in the lagoon can then be estimated by using standard equations. For rectangular
lagoons and constant side slope, calculate length and width at the midpoint of the sludge layer, and
multiply by sludge layer thickness to calculate sludge layer volume, as shown in the example. For
irregular shapes, convert the total surface area to a square shape.
