SUBJECT: NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY
Cognac Farms
Facility No. 77 - 19
Richmond County
Dear Mr. Robinette:
On May 19, 1999, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division
of Water Quality inspected the Cognac Farm swine facility. It was observed that
portions of the back slopes along with an area at the toe of the lagoon dike
contained some erosion. There was some trash (bottles, syringes, needles, etc.)
observed within the lagoon. It was noted from the inspection that one of the
application fields contained small grain. However, according to the Certified
Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) coastal bermuda was the specified
crop for this field. Some of the spray fields had recently been resprigged. Only
one waste sample was taken in 1998 according to the on-site records. The
CAWMP requires that waste should be tested within 60 days of application.
In regard to the deficiencies noted during the inspection, the following actions are
requested:
1. Establish vegetation on the back slopes and the toe of the lagoon dikes to
prevent further erosion.
2. Need to prevent trash from entering the lagoon through the discharge pipes
from the buildings.
3. Contact a technical specialist in order to revise the CAWMP to reflect the
current crops along with the specified Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) rates for
each crop.
