Dear Ms. Smith:
On May 12, 1998, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division
of Water Quality inspected the Hedge Farm swine facility. It was observed that
the inside slopes of the lagoon dike failed to have a suitable grass cover in some
areas. Some erosion problems were noted along these areas_ Irrigation records
were not being kept by each pull listed for a field, but by the entire spray field as
one unit. It was also observed that tobacco was set out in two of the spray fields.
The Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWW) did not state anything
concerning this crop. At time of inspection, coastal had not been sprigged in Field
#1 as stated in the CAWMP. There were also some older bales of hay on the outer
edges of the spray fields that need to be removed.
In regard to the deficiencies noted during the inspection, the following actions
are requested:
1. Contact a technical specialist in establishing a suitable grass cover on the inside
slopes of the lagoon to prevent further erosion in these areas.
2. Consult with a technical specialist for assistance in regard to calculating the

3. Consult with a technical specialist in order to update CAWMP to include correct crops along with
which crops waste can be applied on.
4. Need to sprig coastal bermuda in spray field #1, if not completed already, for waste application
this summer.
5. Remove the older bales of hay from along the edges of the spray field to prevent nitrogen from
leaching out of these bales into the ground.
Please provide a written response to this office on or before June 5, 1998 regarding corrective
actions taken or planned. Nothing in this letter should be taken as absolving this facility of the
responsibility and liability of any violations that have or may result from these deficiencies. If you
have any questions concerning this matter, please call Jeffery Brown, at [phone].
