On March 7, 2003, a representative of your animal operation informed the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) that there was inadequate freeboard in the lagoon(s) serving this facility.
This lack of adequate freeboard is in non-compliance with the Certificate of Coverage
issued to this facility on June 9, 1997. In addition to this Notice of Violation (NOV), this non-
compliance is subject to an appropriate enforcement action by DWQ. This action can consist of
one or more of the following: a civil or criminal enforcement action; an injunction; and/or a
requirement to apply for coverage under an individual permit. The action chosen will be based
on complete evaluation of all factors that resulted in the inadequate freeboard; the actions taken
to restore the needed freeboard; and the actions being proposed to prevent the problem from
reoccurring.
To assist us in our review, please provide the Fayetteville Regional Office with an
evaluation of the reasons for the freeboard violation(s) and a strategy to prevent future freeboard
violation(s). This evaluation and strategy must include but is not limited to the following:
Current Freeboard level(s)
Freeboard level records in the lagoon(s) for the past 12 months up to the date of submittal
Spraying records for the past 12 months up to the date of submittal

Once this information is received and evaluated by the DWQ staff, a determination will
be made as to the appropriate compliance/enforcement actions to be taken. Each case will be
evaluated on its own merit. The efforts by the owner/producer to notify DWQ of the problem,
efforts made to resolve the problem once identified, and efforts proposed to prevent future
problems will be positive factors in this determination.
Nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you either the responsibility or
liability for this non-compliance or future cases of non-compliance. If you have any questions

Dear Mr..Faison:
Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary

Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director
Division of Water Quality
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 21-1.0217 Permit.
On September 1, 2004, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality visited Carroll's
Farm 7701. Carroll's employee Matt Mehlenbacher notified DWQ staff of a waste release from one of the
confinement houses. At the time DWQ staff arrived, they found evidence that waste had exited the back comer of
the confinement house through a foundation wall crack_ The waste then moved across a farm road and traveled
down slope through approximately 100 yards of woods to an area of swamp flat water. Company personnel had
constructed a small berm to prevent the waste from entering the waters of the swamp. An estimated one to five
gallons did enter the swamp waters and thus the waters of the state_ Company personnel had constructed catch
basins and the accumulated waste was being pumped back into the lagoon. Subsequent follow up documented a
completed clean up with minimal potential adverse environmental impacts observed.
During the DWQ inspections, the following violations were noted:
Violation 1: Any discharge of waste that reaches surface waters is prohibited. Contained in your CAWMP
(Permit No. AWS780031, Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management #1.}
When the inspectors arrived at the farm on September 1, 2004, waste had exited the farm proper and had
flowed into the nearby swamp waters. Your CAWMP specifications state " Animal waste shall not reach
surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, direct discharge
during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited. This
constitutes a violation of your Permit.
Required Corrective Action for Violation 1:
In regards to this point the company reacted to mitigate the release and recover as much waste as
possible.

Violation 2: Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management of Permit No. AWS780031's Nutrient
Management Plan For Animal Waste Utilization # 19. Waste handling structures, piping,
pumps, reels, ect. should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and
spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
Required Corrective Action for Violation 2:
If you have not already done so, regularly inspect the complete waste treatment system on this farm for
potential problems. Special attention should be given to the foundation walls of the confinement houses for
cracks. Such cracks should be repaired immediately and any other maintenance problems addressed. If
possible the cause of the plugged line should be identified and if needed steps taken to prevent the same
occurrence in the future.
The Division of Water Quality requests that, in addition to the specified corrective actions above, please submit the
following items on or before September 30, 2004:
1. Please have the OIC for this farm include an explanation as to how these violations occurred.
2. Please have the OIC include a list of the steps that will be taken to prevent these violations from occurring
in the future.
Please be advised that this notice does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking enforcement actions
for these violations 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.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact either Mr. Larry C. Baxley,

Dear Stutts:
On April 8, 1997, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality inspected the above Carroll's Foods Farm. It was observed that animal waste were being
applied at a rate that exceeds the nitrogen uptake of the crop.
The inspection revealed that the records for the waste application (IRR -1, IRR -2) did not
reflect the actual application of nitrogen applied on the crops. The irrigation record (IRR -2) was
calculated for the entire field area and not for the actual application area of the hydrant, resulting
in a higher nitrogen balance. In order to correct this deficiency you are requested to implement
the following:
1. The certified waste management plan does not calculate the actual area available for irrigation
or the area of each hydrant to allow for computing nitrogen balances. Please upgrade your
certified waste management plans to identify the individual waste application areas by
hydrants and the acerage encompassed.
2. Begin immediately to calculate the nitrogen balance for the crop on a per hydrant basis on
the IRR -2 form to prevent exceedances of the crop uptake.
3. Recalculate the total acerage available minus the required buffers to determine that adequate
acerage is available for the application of nitrogen.

Up to this point, the nitrogen calculation on our above referenced farms has
been figured by field; and, as we pump, we move from hydrant to hydrant to cover the
entire field.
To address this problem, we have measured the pulls by hydrant on these two
farms, and, at the next pumping, we will calculate the nitrogen by pull by hydrant.
Sincerely,
CARROLL'S FOODS, INC.

Dear Sir.
P11
This letter is in response to the violations on the farms noted above. We have taken different measures
to try and prevent these problems from reoccurring.
This year we are using a summary sheet that lets us know the hours left to pump per hydrant.
7681-3: We intend to add 2 hydrants- We will need an irrigation design and the work done.
7706: We installed pressure regulators plus one bam with individual waterers.
7078-2: We purchased additional land and have an irrigation design. This work is now in
process.
7171: We have worked out an agreement with a local landowner to spray on his land. The
planning process & installation to add the spray field need to follow.
7?- 3) 7701: Pressure reducers have been installed and water goal reduction put in place.
7702: Water saving devices has been installed and water reduction is occurring.
We are trying to reduce water usage on all farms. In addition to our regular water usage, we have dealt
with excessive rainfall this past year. We have tried to put ourselves in a better position this season but
the rainfall did hurt us.
Thank you for working with us and if there are any questions please give me a call at [phone].
If l can not be reached at the above number please call [phone] and they can contact me with
the message.
Thank you,
Leslie Stuffs
