Subject: Notice of Violation and Revocation for Nonpayment
Wall Farm
Permit Number: AWS770006
Richmond County
In accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 OG, all animal operations who receive an animal
waste management system permit will be charged in each year of the term an annual permit fee. Annual permit fees are
billed following the issuance of the permit and then annually thereafter on the anniversary of that date. Your animal waste
management system permit was issued on 11/24/1999.
Your annual permit fee for the period of 11/24/2001 - 11/23/2002 is $150.00. Your payment was due 1/9/2002.
Because this fee was not fully paid within 30 days after being billed, this letter initiates action to revoke the subject permit,
pursuant to 15 NCAC 2H .0205 (c) (4). and G.S. 143-215.1 (b) (3).
Effective 60 days from receipt of this notice, the subject permit is hereby revoked unless the required Annual
Animal Waste Management System Permit fee for your animal operation is received within that time. Operation of an
animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and is
subject to the assessment of a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day. Your payment should be sent to:

Dear Mr. Williams:

Alan Klimek, P.E., Director
Division of Water Quality
On September 19, 2002, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality, conducted
an inspection of the Michael Williams Farm in Richmond County. The inspection revealed that the fescue grass crop
in both waste application fields had a substantial problem with weed competition. Also, the bermuda grass field had
a problem with weeds and the current waste utilization plan (WUP) list this field as a millet and rye. In addition, waste
samples were not collected as often as required.
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed:
1. The bermuda grass waste application field and the fescue fields need a chemical application to remove the
weeds (dog fennel, mares tail etc.) to prevent loss of crop and to produce a marketable 1 usable product.
Contact an agronomist for assistance with appropriate chemical recommendations.
2. Collect waste samples within sixty (60) days of waste application to comply with the recordkeeping requirements
of your General Permit.
3. Contact a technical specialist for assistance with the modification of your WUP for the appropriate crop.
