SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Unpermitted Discharge of Swine Waste
Hamilton Swine Farm

Dear Mr. Hamilton:
On the night of July 29, 1995 as a result of a citizens complaint an inspection was
conducted of your animal operation by the Fayetteville Regional Office. The complaint alleged
and the inspection confirmed that swine waste had entered an Unnamed Tributary (UT) to the
Cape Fear River, Class WS -V. Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General
Statutes to discharge wastewater to the surface waters of the State without a permit. The Division
of Environmental Management has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000
per day per violation.
The investigation further revealed that the waste had entered the UT in part due to the following:
1. The manner in which the waste was land applied.
2. A brief rainstorm event (The event was noted to be less intensive than a 25 year 24
hour storm event).
The purpose of this letter is to advise you, (1) To take all necessary corrective actions to
prevent similar discharges in the future. (2) That recommendations will be forwarded to the
Director of Environmental Management for the revocation of the "Deemed Permitted" status of
your facility.
