Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Carroll's Farm 7572
Facility No. 78- 12
Robeson County
Dear Mr. Mehlenbacher:
You are hereby notified that; having been permitted to have a non -discharge permit for the
subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217, you have been found to
be in violation of your 214.0217 Permit_
On March 1, 2004, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water -
Quality responded to a call from your company regarding a waste spill that had occurred on Farm
7572 in Robeson County. The release occurred according to company personnel at around
11:30am that day. Mr. Mehlenbacher was notified about 2:30 pm and called the FRO around
4 :00pm. The farm staff discovered wastewater coming through a crack in the foundation wall
outside one of the confinement houses_ Wastewater accumulated outside of the confinement
house as efforts were made to correct the problem- Meanwhile the wastewater moved over
ground to a drain pipe. It continued through the pipe and into a drainage ditch which outflows
into a swamp area. At the time of DWQ staff arriving farm personnel had made a series of three
dams in the head of woods and had also plugged the drainage tile. They were pumping
wastewater from the dammed locations back into .the lagoon_ Inspector Mark Brantley and 1
walked the edge of a pond that the water from the woods would have drained into if not for the
dams and did not see any adverse environmental impacts at that time. DWQ Staff visited the
farm the next day and clean up efforts were continuing.

or
DWQ staff later spoke with Matt Mehlenbacher, Land & Nutrient Manager for Murphy -Brown
for this farm about the time that elapsed from farm personnel first having knowledge of the
release and his notification to the FRO. He stated company protocol required him to assess the
situation before he reported it to DWQ. [n this instance several hours of response time were lost
in a situation where expertise in environmental response to such releases could prove critical. The
objective of the industry and governmental agencies should be to protect our environmental
resources by working together to lessen impacts from unpermitted releases of waste. Discussions
with Mr. Mehlenbacher later focused on developing a more effective approach to these
commonly occurring releases.
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed:
1. Provide a detailed description of events and results of any investigation into the spills cause
or causes.
2. Provide figures of quantity of waste lost to include method of determination, total gallons
released and amount recovered.
3. Detail any prevention, inspection, mechanical, or procedural changes implemented in order
to prevent or lessen future occurrences of this nature.
4. Notification to the appropriate regional office should be "as soon as possible" and follow-
up notification could be beneficial after you have performed further onsite assessment. We
understand that your protocol may influence reporting'but we ask for as immediate
notification as possible so as to reduce the time interval between discovery, reporting, and
response. Lengthy intervals of this kind may be viewed in a negative manner.
5. Consider training farm personnel in situations which might result in an unpermitted release
of waste such as but not limited to plugged or damaged lines. These responses could
include blocking of potential waste exit routes as repairs are made to limit waste
movement from the immediate area, thus preventing releases to " Waters of the State ".
Failure to comply with the above conditions may result in the facility losing its General
Permit and being required to obtain an individual non -discharge permit for the facility.
Please be advised that this notice does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from
taking enforcement actions for this violation or any past or future violation. Furthermore, the
Division of Water Quality has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00
per day per violation.

Incident Report: Murphy -Brown LLC, Laurinburg Division Farm #7572
On 31I /04 at approximately 11:00 a.m., farm 7572 staff observed wastewater flowing out
from underneath the breeding barn. The discharge pipe had become blocked causing
water in the pit to back up. It rose to a level that allowed it to flow out through a crack in
the foundation sidewall.
The farm began to "snake" the line to break loose the blockage and were successful.
They believed that the spill had not gone but a little way into a ditch along the fence line.
They called their Production Manager at 1:30 p.m. to report the spill. The Production
Manager immediately called me. I arrived on the scene around 2:15. We discovered that
water had spilled into an underground drain line and had begun to enter a drain ditch. We
dammed the ditch up and also constructed two darns down stream in case any wastewater
got ahead of us.
We had our backhoe, four land management staff and three production staff containing
the water. A trash pump, hose and PVC pipe was used to pump water back into the
farm's lagoon. We estimate that no more than 2-300 gallons had escaped the farm and
that all of it was recovered.
I notified DWQ at 4:15 p.m. Larry Baxley arrived about an hour later.

Regional Water Quality Supervisor
This letter is in response to your request dated 3/9/2004 concerning an NOV for our farm
7572, facility number 78-12 in Robeson County.
On March 1 ", 2004 wastewater was found leaking from a foundation crack the farm's
breeding barn. This release was found a little before noon. The farm staff immediately
began unplugging a clogged drain line that caused a pit to back up. The backup allowed
the water to get to a level that found a crack in the foundation. The farm believed that
they could handle the problem. Water continued to trickle while the staff unclogged the
line. They later became aware that water had gone further than they originally thought.
It had reached an underground drain line used for removing surface rain water.
The farm contacted their Production Manager and LNM Manager around 2:30 p.m.
Water was feared to be heading toward a swamp area along side the farms entrance road,
which would then flow into a pond. Three dams were constructed W%head of the flow to
insure no wastewater reached the pond. DWQ was notified at 4:00 p.m. and arrived
about 5:30 p.m. Water was pumped from the swamp back into the lagoon although it was
not determinable how far wastewater had reached. The swamp was still relatively clear
of any discernible wastewater. Larry Baxley and Mark Brantley, both with DWQ,
walked the edge of a pond and did not see any adverse environmental impacts.
The farm staff was reminded that they are to activate the EMS emergency activation plan
for any spill of wastewater regardless of how far they think it may have gone. They have
also been instructed to locate all access points for rainwater drainage. In the event of
future releases they are to dam these points to prevent wastewater from entering.
On April 5"' the LNM manager addressed the entire management staff, reminding them
that any wastewater spill is required to have immediate notification to their Production
Manager and LNM staff. They were also asked to locate all surface water drains and to
be prepared to block these in the event their farm would have spill.

Subject: Application for National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit
Facility Number 78 - 12
Dear Carroll's Foods Inc:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) has been required by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) to develop a NPDES permit program for animal waste management systems. The
Division has developed a general NPDES permit similar to the state Non -Discharge General Permit that
this facility is currently permitted under. Coverage under the General NPDES permit will be required by
all facilities that are at, or above, the federal threshold numbers of animals listed below, as well as any
facilities that have had a discharge to waters of the state since January 1, 2001.
Federal Threshold Animal Numbers:
2500 Swine greater than 55 pounds in weight
10,000 Swine less than 55 pounds in weight
700 Mature (milking cows or any cows that have calved) Dairy Cattle
1000 Beef Cattle in confinement
30,000 Poultry with a liquid waste management system
55,000 Turkeys
125,000 Chickens other than a liquid waste management system
82,000 Laying Hens other than a liquid waste management system
According to our records this facility meets the federal threshold for a NPDES permit. If you are
currently operating at a population above the threshold numbers please sign and submit the enclosed
NPDES Short Form B — Existing Facility. Please carefully follow the instructions on the form.
If you are currently operating this facility at a population below the federal threshold you may choose to
submit the enclosed "NPDES Short Form B — Existing Facility" for the design capacity of the system as
it is currently permitted. You may also choose to request a new Certificate of Coverage under the State
Non -Discharge Permit at a population below the federal threshold. Should you choose this option,
please submit the enclosed "Request for Modification to Existing Certificate of Coverage for State Non -
Discharge Permit" application and updated WUP reflecting the population change. Please note that if
you are issued a modified Certificate of Coverage for a lesser population, any future increases in
population would require a new permit from the Division prior to increasing the animal population.

Please submit one of the enclosed applications within 60 days from receipt of this letter. If you choose
to submit the "Request for Modification to Existing Certificate of Coverage for State Non -Discharge
Permit" application you must include an updated WUP. If you are unable to obtain an updated WUP
you should submit the "NPDES Short Form B — Existing Facility" for your current permitted population
and request a permit modification at a later date when you have obtained a new WUP. Failure to
submit the application as required may subject your facility to a civil penalty and other enforcement
actions for each day the facility is operated following the due date of the application.
If you have any questions about the NDPES permit, the enclosed applications, or any related matter
please feel free to contact J R Joshi at 919-733-5083 extension 363.

Dear Mr. Hobson:
On January 31, 2000, you or staff from your farm notified the Fayetteville Regional Office
of the Division of Water Quality, as required by General Permit condition 111.6.e, that the freeboard
level of the lagoon was less than the minimum requited by the General Permit. The liquid level of
the lagoon was reported as 18 inches. General Permit condition V.3 states that The maximum
waste Lvel in iagoorWstorage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the CAWMP. At a minimum,
maximum waste led for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides adequate
storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm event plus as additional 1 foot of structural freeboard.'.
The Division of Water Quality will take no further action for this repotted incident at this
time. However, you are asked to please notify this office in writing within 15 days of receipt of this
letter as to what date the lagoon was lowered to the required freeboard level. This information is
essential in determining I the lagoon was lowered within the specified time frame in which the Plan
of Action (POA) allotted. It will also dose this event out within your fie. If you have any questions
concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact myself of [phone].

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 78-12
Robeson County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. iRRI, IRR2, DRY I, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review- The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571.

Dear Carroll's Foods Inc.:
The Division of Water Quality modified the Swine Waste Operation General Permit originally issued to

forwarding this Certificate of Coverage (COC) to Carroll's Foods Inc., authorizing the operation of the
subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with
General Permit AWG100000. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but
not limited to, the management of animal waste from the 7572, located in Robeson County, with an
animal capacity of no greater than 1200 Farrow to Finish and the application to land as specified in the
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2003, and shall hereby void
COC No AWS780012 dated May 29, 1997. The COC shall hereby incorporate by reference any specific
conditions of the previous COC issued to this facility. The purpose of this COC is to allow coverage
under the revised General Permit. Please review the revised General Permit (enclosed) and pay
particular attention to Condition II.10 regarding tree removal from lagoon embankments, Condition III.1
regarding inspection frequency of the waste treatment, storage and collection system and Condition 1I1.6
regarding notification requirements for system failures, spills and emergencies. Pursuant to this COC,
you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations
as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC, with no discharge of wastes to
surface waters. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and
operational information must be established for this farm. Any increase in waste production greater than
the certified design capacity or increase in number of stocked animals above the number authorized by
this COC will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and shall be completed prior to
actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the
General Permit or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance
with NCGS 143-215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive
relief.

Dear Mr. Brown,
As weather permits we wi;l pump these lagoons down to at least the 19"
mark. To our knowledge, there is no surface water getting to the lagoons. We
have plans to install pressure reducers on these farms. This should cause a
reduction of water usage. Due to excess rainfall and snow, we are ahead on out
lagoons filling for the spring pumping.
If you have any questions, please call me at 910-276-0648 ext. 432.
Sincerely,
Leslie Stutts

FAYETTEVILLE
AFr. OFFICE
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997- The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
