actions are requested:
Work on weed control in application fields.
Make sure that the overapplication of nitrogen is avoided in the future.
Please provide a written response to this office on or before July 21, 2000 as

Dear Mr. Hasty,
This is in reference to the inspections that you and I did on June 27', 28t', and 29"'. The above
mentioned forms are being attended to prevent over application and control weeds. I will list the
preventive measures below because some are consistent with each farm.
1. Weed control: We are spraying the chemical ally and mowing close to allow the
Coastal Bermuda to grow, 7681 and 7078-1.
2. We have installed individual sow waters which gives an overall reduction of 25%
water usage, 7705 all barns, 7707 Boar Barns. We are also installing pressure
regulators for a 10% reduction, 7707, 7681.
3. Within our computer record keeping system, there is a report that shows how many
pumping hours are left on a hydrant. We are using this as a monitoring tool, 7681,
7705, 7707, and 7078-1.
The above mentioned measures should help to prevent over application, barring a Hurricane
season such as the one last year. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at
my new office number
910-276-5637. There is no secretary, so if I am out of the office please leave a message and I
will call you back.

SUBJECT: NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY
Carroll's Farm #7078
Facility No. 83 - 12
Scotland County
Dear Mr. Stutts:
On April 28, 1999, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division
of Water Quality inspected the Carroll's Farm #7078 swine facility. It was
observed that portions of the inside slopes of the lagoon dikes contained some
erosion. Wastewater was observed to be leaking from at least two different
hydrants and the irrigation hook-up on top of the lagoon dike. The largest spray
field was suppose to be established in coastal bermuda according to the Certified
Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). However, the small grain overseed
had recently been disced in, and the coastal appeared to be poor to nonexistent in
the majority of this field. Mr. Jimmy Oxendine, the on -site representative, stated
that this field was going to be resprigged. The irrigation layout of the farm did
not match the current irrigation system installed at this facility.
In regard to the deficiencies noted during the inspection, the following actions
are requested-
1. EstabIish vegetation on the inside slopes of the lagoon dikes to prevent further
erosion -of the clay liner.
2. Complete a thorough evaluation of the waste management system and
immediately repair any portion of the system which allows wastewater to be
released.

3. Need to establish an adequate crop in the largest application field in order to uptake the nutrients
being applied when an irrigation event occurs.
4. The irrigation system on the farm site should coincide with the irrigation layout so that the
irrigation records will be accurate.
Please provide a written response to this office on or before June 25, 1999 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

Dear Carl Jones:
In accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.10G, 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 7/28/97.
Your annual permit fee for the period of 7/28/97 - 7/27/98 is $200.00. Your payment was due
11/13/97. 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:

FAYETTEVILLE
REG. OFFICE
Your request for remission has been placed on the agenda for the October 9, 1997
meeting of the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions. The Committee will convene immediately following the closing of the regularly
scheduled business meeting of the Environmental Management Commission in the Ground Floor
Hearing Room of the Archdale Building located at 512 North Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North
Carolina (see enclosed map). You should arrive no later than 11:00 a.m.
The factors to be considered by the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions are whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.I(b) were
wrongly applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or the result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
The Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions may remit none of the penalty, a part of the
penalty, or the entire penalty. The entire amount of the penalty can only be remitted when the
violator has not been assessed civil penalties for previous violations, and when payment of the
civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.

C.L. Jones Estate, Inc.
Carl Jones Farm, No. 63-12
Making an outlet To Waters of the State w/o a Permit
Violation of Stream Standard for fecal coliform
near Johns, Scotland County
Please find attached a fast track enforcement package concerning at least
two unpermitted discharges of animal wastes. into Steer Branch, class C-Swamp
waters of the State. These discharges were the direct result of the
overapplication of lagoon waste onto a field of Bermuda grass sod. On these
occasions, excess waste flowed overland into a drainage ditch, off the Jones
farm, and into the run of Steer Branch, approximately 200 feet below the Jones
property line. Fecal coliform samples were collected on six separate days and
indicate a violation of the stream standard for fecal coliform.
These violations were discovered as a result of the investigation of a
complaint from the adjoining land owner. According to the complaintant, there
have been other such discharges in the past.

On October 15, 1996, Ricky Revels of the PRO visited the Carl Jones swine
farm off SR 1621 between the Johns and Hasty communities of Scotland County.
Mr. Revels was responding to a call from an adjacent property owner concerning
possible contamination of his pond by animal waste from the farm. Also present
during this visit were Mr. Bert Coffer, Technical Specialist with the NCDA,
Mr. B.W. Anderson of the Scotland County MRCS, and Mr. Ed Jones, manager of
the farm. Lagoon freeboard was estimated at 13 inches at the time, and no
waste was being land applied. During the inspection, specific land application
practices were discussed for prevention of ponding and runoff of animal
wastes, including adjustment of gun pressure, retrieve rate, calibration aids,
etc. It was also mentioned that the infiltration rate of the soil was a key
factor in such land application. Mr. Coffer was reportedly about half through
preparing a certified waste utilization plan for the farm. It was pointed out
during this meeting that the farm was deemed permitted under current rules. It
was also specifically mentioned that this "deemed permit" prohibited the
discharge of waste to waters of the State.
At about 4:15 the afternoon of October 25, 1996, the FRO received a phone
call from Mr. Phillip Essay, owner of property adjacent to the Carl. Jones
farm. (Mr. Essey had been asked previously to contact this office immediately
should he notice a discharge of animal waste from the Jones farm.) According
to his report, animal waste was flowing at that time into Steer Branch, a
creek which flows through his property and feeds his private pond. Ken
Averitte responded to this complaint and met Mr. Essey at approximately 6:15.
As indicated on the attached map, Mr. Essey's property is immediately adjacent
to a spray field on the Jones farm. It was evident upon arrival that
wastewater had been applied to the field at a rate sufficient to cause
overland flow and runoff. A large drainage ditch which separates two fields
was receiving a significant volume of waste runoff even though the actual
spraying had ceased prior to Mr. Averitte's arrival. Fecal coliform samples
were collected from the waste stream at the Essey/Jones property line, at one
of the points on the field where waste was actually entering the ditch, and
from Steer Branch upstream and downstream of the confluence with the runoff
from the field. Additional investigation was curtailed due to darkness and the
limited time available to return samples to a local contract lab. Runoff from
the field had the characteristic red color noticed in many swine waste
lagoons. Laboratory results later indicated fecal coliform counts of 2,000/100
ml in the downstream sample, compared to <1 in the upstream sample.
The following Monday, October 28, Regional Office staff returned to
,.Scotland County to locate the farm manager and discuss the events of Oct. 25.
'T`n order to familiarize Ed Buchan (also of the FRO) with the site, Ken
Averitte first returned to the back edge of the farm through Mr. Essey's
property. Upon arrival, it was immediately noted that the irrigation system on
the Jones farm was back in service, again applying waste at aesrooxcessive rate
and resulting in waste runoff into the same ditch. After a sh61'i`•time period,
this waste was observed flowing through Mr. Essey's property and into Steer
Branch. Fecal coliform samples were collected at the same points as before.
Sample results again showed considerable increases in fecal coliform levels
with the upstream sample having a count of 9/100 ml and the downsteam sample

having 10,000/100 ml. At no time during the hours of the October 28 visit did
the investigators observe anyone from the farm attending or even monitoring
the irrigation equipment or spray site. On the recommendation of a mower
operator at the farm, the investigators went to the nearby K@S farm (owned by
Alex Jones) to locate the farm manager, Mr. Ed Jones. Although Mr. Jones
was not at the site, a farm employee and a Carroll's field representative were
contacted at the K@S farm office and advised of the discharge situation.
Regional' staff -then recommended that measures be taken to prevent further
runoff. Upon returning to the farm (with the Carroll's rep and the farm hand),
the investigators noted that the irrigation pump had been shut down. Waste
continued to drain off the field and into the ditch. Farm employees were
advised to take measures to eliminate this ongoing discharge.
The following day; October, 29, Ken Averitte and Ricky Revels (also FRO
staff), met with Alex and Ed Jones at the Carl Jones farm. Alex was quick to
point out that it would be impossible for anything to leave the farm via the
bitch since it had been blocked earlier. A walk down the ditch to the property
line proved otherwise. Although there was no obvious pipe readily visible due
to weeds and debris, there remains some type of conduit for water flow within
the ditch. Waste leaving the field apparently collects in the ditch to a
certain level before discharging. The waste flow which had been observed in
the channel through the Essey property was estimated at 20-25 gpm. All of this
flow originates on the Jones farm. The Jones brothers were advised that a
Notice of Violation was forthcoming which would require submission of a
certified animal waste management plan. The need to control waste application
and prevent runoff was particularly stressed. They were also advised that the
regional office would prepare an enforcement report as a result of the
discharges.
On the morning of November 22, before the enforcement document and NOV
were completed, Mr. Essey contacted the Fayetteville Regional Office to report
yet another discharge. Mr. Essey indicated that the field was irrigated on the
evening of November 21 and waste was observed flowing through his property the
following morning. The investigators arrived at Mr. Essey's pond site at
approxmiately 10:30 a.m.. The stream flow leaving the Jones' field was
slightly tinged with the same red color noted on earlier visits. Samples were
again taken at the same locations. After driving around to the Jones farm, the
investigators located the same employee (Larry) met on October 28. He
indicated that an irrigation "pull" had been made at the end of the same field
the previous day, Thursday, November 21. Red colored water was continuing to
enter the ditch. An earthen dike built to prevent runoff into the ditch after
the October 28 incident had failed to contain the waste flow and heavy
rainfall which occurred the same evening. The employee then called Ed Jones
who arrived shortly thereafter. Mr. Jones appeared quite exasperated, and
,.stated clearly that no waste had been applied to that particular field since
'the last incident. When asked about the obvious presence of "red" water in the
field, he was unable provide an explanation. At the time, the cart carrying
the irrigation gun had been pulled into another field beyond a tree line,
though the retrieve reel remained in the approximately the sam location as
seen on previous visits. When asked again, the employee (Lary- claimed that
the earlier irrigation event had been on the other field.
In a conversation with Ken Averitte on November 25, 1996, Mr. Essey
maintained that he had seen the irrigation equipment spraying farther down on
the same field as before, on the evening of Thursday, November 21.

Given the evidence noted in the field at the time of the investigation,
it appears reasonable to believe that animal waste was in some manner applied
to this particular field. It is conceivable that Mr. Jones was not aware of
this or had been misinformed. However, sufficient volume was apparently
applied to result in runoff which was further intensified by the evening
rainfall. Samples collected on November 22 indicated elevated fecal coliform
concentrations in the receiving stream, 153/100 ml, which is considerably
higher than the upstream sample of 9/100 mi. Water leaving the Jones property
had a coliform count of 7,200/100 mi.
Mr. Jones was advised at the time that it was his responsibility to
monitor waste irrigation at this farm, including taking weather forecast into
consideration. His indicated that they had postponed irrigation in the past
because of forecasted rainfall that never materialized. This was apparently
his justification for the irrigation of wastes immediately before a
substantial rainfall, (about a 2" rain per his estimate).
CONCLUSION
It is the opinion of this office that due to operator negligence,
wastewater from the Carl Jones farm entered waters of the State on at least
two and likely three occasions. The stream standard for fecal coliform was
exceeded in two of six stream samples, or 33%, constituting a stream standard
violation for that parameter. We have unsubstantiated reports that such events
have taken place on more than one occasion in the past.
The irrigation events leading to these discharges did not take place
during an emergency situation. The lagoon freeboard at the time of the first
investigation was estimated at 13 inches. Although this level is above the
recommended elevations, there was no imminent threat to the integrity of the
lagoon. obviously, freeboard increased with the subsequent irrigation events.
In this particular lagoon, at the pumping rate estimated at 400 gpm, it would
taken approximately six hours to draw the lagoon down one inch.
Although the efforts to obtain additional freeboard were perhaps
warranted, the measures taken to achieve this were poorly managed and

Description of Facility Location (State Road Nos., etc.)z
The farm is located on the southeast side of SR 1621, approximately one
quarter mile south of the intersection with SR 1620. This is near the
crossroads community of Hasty, in Scotland County.
Date of Last Expansion: This farm has not expanded since originally
constructed.
Has the facility registered with the Division of Water Quality? Yes.
Registered October 11, 1993.
Does the facility have an approved Animal Waste Management Plan? No
Is one required? Not yet.
Has this facility received a CAM Designation? No
Type of Operation (Examples: Farrow to finish, topping, dairy, swine, cattle,
chickens -layers or broilers, turkey production, etc.):
This is a swine finishing operation designed for 7920 animals.
.• .
AmTrr
Humber and Type of Animals or Animal Units: 7920 top hogs.
Length of Time Animals have been, are, or will be Stabled or Confined and Fed
-.,or Maintained in any 12-Month Period: Twelve months az�
..WR-
Are crops, Vegetation Forage Growth, or Post -Harvest Residues Sustained in the
Normal Growing Season over any Portion of the Lot or Facility?
Animal waste is sprayed on grasslands which are cultivated and sold as sod.

Type of haste lianagement: Animals are confined in free stall barns with
slotted floors which drain into a single lagoon with a surface area reported
to be five acres. waste is land applied to fields of bermuda grass which is
cut and sold as sod.
Description of Other Animal Operations in Immediate Vicinity and Proximity to
Same or other Surface haters: A dry litter poultry operation is within one
half mile of this farm ,and is connected to the same surface waters by an
intermittent stream. Another hog farm, K&S farms, is located approximately 3
miles away.
Proximity of Facility to Neighboring Houses, hells, ertc.: The house closest to
this farm belongs to a member of the Jones family. There are several other
houses within one half mile of the farm.
Approximate Depth of Groundwater Table in the Area of the Facility or
Discharge: Seasonal groundwater elevation is estimated at no more than 14
feet.
Proximity of Facility to Surface haters (Provide name and class of surface
waters): Application fields on this farm are divided by at least two large
drainage ditches. Both of these ditches are immediately tributary to Steer
Branch, Class "C-Swamp" waters in the Lumber River Basin.
Animal paste Discharge: Photographs of the discharge are attached.
Are Pollutants Discharged into the Waters of the State? If so, how?
(Directly or by manmade ditch, flushing system, or other similar manmade
device): Animal waste from this swine finishing facility are normally land
applied. Due to over application on a single field, animal waste flowed
overland, entered a large field ditch, and drained into Steer Branch.
Do or have Discharges occurred in Response to a Storm Event of Less than a
25-year, 24-hour Intensity? (If yes, include a brief listing of incidents and
suspected causes.): The first two discharges were not related to any storm
event. The discharge found on November 22 was mingled with rainfall from a
storm the evening of November 21.
What is the degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State,
to the public health, or to the private property resulting from the violation?
These particular violations resulted in an exceedance of the fecal coliform
standard for "C-swamp" surface waters.
AMES-
What is the duration and gravity of the violation? Estimated from the time the
complaint was received, the discharge of October 25, 1996, occurred for more
than four hours. The waste discharge from the field on OctoberaA_also
occurred for at least four hours. It is estimated that fairly large
percentage of the waste irrigated eventually made its way into Steer Branch.
Waste from the November 21 irrigation event was still discharging at the
time of the inspection on November 22.

Water Quality Assesements On October 25, four samples were collected for fecal
coliform including locations at (1) the point where waste was discharging into
the field ditch, (2) the discharge from the field ditch just beyond the Jones
property line, (3) in .Steer Branch upstream of the confluence with drainage
from the farm, and (4) in Steer Branch downstream of the confluence with the
discharge from the farm. The water flowing into and from the ditch had the
characteristic red wine color of many swine operations. Laboratory results
indicate significant exceedances of the stream standard for fecal coliform in
the downstream location. The actual spray site is fairly flat, except at the
southeast end where there is a slight grade to the east. The field ditch
drains a very slight depression in the center of the field, and in this case,
a considerable volume of wastewater, even though waste application had ceased
some time prior to the visit. Rainfall was not a factor in this event. The
lagoon freeboard at the time of the first visit was roughly estimated at 12-14
inches.
on October 28, fecal coliform samples were again collected at the same
locations. Similar lab results were reported. The traveling irrigation gun had
been moved since the previous visit and was in motion, though at a very slow
retrieve rate. Wastewater was observed flowing freely into the field ditch in
at least two different locations. Lagoon freeboard was estimated at 14-16
inches.
On November 22, waste was again observed entering the ditch and flowing
off -site into Steer Branch. Though downstream fecal coliform levels were
significantly increased, they did not exceed the 200/100 ml threshold.
What is the cost of rectifying the damage?: No cost has been associated with
mending the effects of these discharges.
What is the amount of money saved by noncompliance? Probably very little. The
operator has other fields on which to spray and simply did not move the
irrigation equipment.
Was the violation committed willfully or intentionally?: Although these
discharges would have been obvious to anyone looking at the land application
site, it cannot be proven that the discharges were willful and intentional.
However, it is certainly reasonable to believe that the discharges were the
result of negligence on the part of the operator. On the visit October 28,
investigators observed the discharge for over three hours without once seeing
a farm employee check on the irrigation equipment. The disposal system at this
time was spraying waste at an estimated rate of 400 gpm.
What is the prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply
with programs over which the Rnvironmental !Management Commission has
regulatory authorityz The Carl Jones farm has no known history of
noncompliance with this Division. The complaintant in this case, an adjacent
land owner, contends that such discharges have taken place routinely in the
past.
The discharge of November 21-22 occurred after regiona= staff had met
with Ed and Alex Jones, discussed the previous discharges, and advised them
of the anticipated recommendations of the regional office. They were well
aware that anv waste discharge was prohibited.

What is the cost to the State for the enforcement procedures? The total cost
to the State in this investigation is 51.577.71.
Travel - State vehicle - total of 440 miles @.20/mile
Travel - Private vehicle -total of 264 miles @.20/mile

ijrpe or general nature of business: The Carl Jones farm is part of an
incorporated estate, identified as the C.L. Jones Estate, Inc. Known business
interests of that estate include the swine farm and adjoining turf grass
business.
What is the violator's degree of cooperation (including efforts to prevent or
restore) or recalcitrance: When investigators finally located a responsible
employee and advised him of the situation, efforts were immediately commenced
to prevent additional runoff. Alex Jones and Ed Jones, operators of the farm,
were finally contacted the morning of October 29, after they had been reached
by staff of Carroll's Foods, the integrator. In a meeting at the site that
afternoon, Ed Jones appeared to understand the situation entirely, although
Alex Jones was reluctant to admit that the waste had actually left the site.
It was his contention that the ditch had been completely blocked in the past
and no waste could have left the site. It was pointed out in the field, at the
end of the ditch, that water and waste did leave the farm and enter Steer
Branch.
There remain some serious doubts about the circumstances leading to the
November 21-22 discharge.
Are there any !litigating circumstances?: None known. The farm manager
indicated that it was their intention to draw the lagoon level down to provide
winter storage, although they indicated that this discharge was of course
unintentional.
Assessment factors:
--.IWC: Estimated at 10 percent during the course of the discharges~._
Receiving Stream: Steer Branch, class C--Swamp
Damage: No significant damage noted.

Recommendations Had to owner/operator: Proceed with

Re�eadations for Further DWQ Action: It is the recommendation of this
office that an enforcement action be processed against C.L. Jones Estate, Inc.
for violations of NCGS 143-215.1, for making an outlet for the discharge of
animal waste to surface waters of the state without a permit, and for
violations of the stream standard contained in 15A NCAC 2B.4211.

nondischarge permit for the subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to
15A NCAC 2H.0217, you have been found to be in violation of your 2H.0217
Permit.
On October 25 and again on October 28, 1996, staff from the Fayetteville
Regional Office conducted inspections of the subject farm. These inspections
revealed that animal waste had been applied to a bermuda grass field in
sufficient quantity to cause saturated soil conditions and result in the
runoff of wastewater into surface waters of the State. During another
inspection on November 22, 1996, regional staff again found waste running off
.A
the same field and into surface waters.
In accordance with the requirements of NCAC 2H.0213, your are hereby given
notice that sixty (60) days following your receipt of this letter, the
Division of Water Quality intends to revoke your permit unlesathe following
conditions are completed: aftm
1. Take immediate measures to eliminate all wastewater discharges.
2. Make any modifications necessary to ensure there will be no future -
discharges.

Failure to comply with the above conditions will result in permit
revocation and therefore, the existing animal waste management system serving
your animal operation will be in operation without a permit as required by
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1.
Your approved animal waste management plan must explain how you will collect,
store, treat and land apply your animal waste in an environmentally acceptable
manner. To assist you in the development of this plan and to provide the
required certification that the plan is acceptable, you should contact your
local agricultural agencies such as the Soil and Water Conservation District,
the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service, the North Carolina Cooperative
Extension Service or a technical specialist designated pursuant to the rules
adopted by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission.
If we have not received the requested animal waste management plan and
certification within 60 days of receipt of this letter or if there are
additional discharges to the surface water, a civil penalty of up to $10,000
may be assessed and you may be required to apply for an individual
nondischarge permit from the Division. This permit, if issued, will contain
monitoring and reporting requirements determined to be necessary by the
Division.
Although we will make every effort to work with you in correcting the problems
found at your facility, please be advised that nothing in this letter should
be taken as preventing the Division from taking appropriate enforcement
actions for either these violations or other past or future violations.

make the following:
I. FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. The C.L. Jones Estate, Inc. is a corporation duly organized and
existing under the laws of the State of North Carolina and operates
an animal feeding operation located off SR 1621, near the
communities of Hasty and Johns in Scotland County, North Carolina.
This operation is known as the Carl Jones Farm.
B. On October 25, 1996, DWQ staff observed a discharge of wastewater
from an animal waste land application system at the Carl Jones Farm
entering a ditch and flowing into Steer Branch in the Lumber River
Basin.
C. On October 28, 1996, DWQ staff observed a similar discharge of
wastewater from the same animal waste land application system at the
Carl Jones farm into the same ditch and stream.
D. Steer Branch is classified as C-Swamp waters.
E. The water quality standard for fecal coliform permits a maximum
geometric mean of 200/100 ml in a membrane filter te,.based upon
at least five consecutive samples during any 30 day period, with a
maximum of 400/100 ml in no more than 20 percent of the samples
examined during such period.

F. DWQ collected samples for fecal coliform analysis from Steer Branch
on October 25 and 28, and on November 14, 15, 18, and 22, 1996.
G. Results of the fecal coliform samples indicated a geometric mean of
90.5/100 ml sample. Of the samples collected, the downstream
concentration exceeded 4001100 ml in 33 percent of the samples
collected.
H. Staff costs and expenses associated with detecting the violation,
defining its nature and extent, and bringing the enforcement action
totalled $1577.71.

Subj: Your letter dated May 27, 1997 - "Assessment of Civil Penalties for Violation NCAC 2H .0217"
Dear Mr. Tedder:
We are in receipt of the subject letter. Please find attached the executed copy of the Waiver of Right to an
Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of the Facts form.
The purpose of this letter is to request and justify leniency on the magnitude of the assessment and to
request your consideration for steps we have taken to avoid reoccurrence of an accident of this type in the
future.
First of all, C. L. Jones Estates Farms, Inc. is a family owned business. We initiated steps five years ago to
become a contract hog grower for Carroll Foods because we thought it would provide a better return on
investment than the crops we were growing. With payment of the loan plus upkeep of the houses and
facilities we are not yet breaking even. Once the loan is paid off the investment will hopefully begin to
produce a profit, but, that will happen only if we can maintain the facility in good working order.. We
have another three years before the loan will be paid. My message is - We cannot afford a $5000 plus
assessment. It would be devastating to our operation.
Secondly, the incident which caused the spillage was an accident. It was a situation where a sprayer
malfunctioned causing an excessive amount of wastewater to be concentrated on to one area_ The
inexperience of the person monitoring the sprayer was a key reason for the accident. Since the problem
occurred we have taken the following steps:
• Financed attendance of our Operations Manager at the Environmental Training Class
• Provided in-house training and awareness on the environmental requirements on the farm
• Established a consultation relationship with DEHNR representatives in Fayetteville
• With the assistance of our Extension Agent, produced and submitted a detailed plan on applying
lagoon waste during the vari,vis crop seasons denoting nutrient and hydraulic rates. This plan is now
being executed.
• Acquired a lease on an additional 90 acres which now has irrigation installed and is undergoing
preparation and planting as an added area for dispensing of nutrients from the lagoon.
• Modified our sprayers «rith new nozzles to conform to the dispensing rates described in the plan
In summary, we are a family owned business trying to pay off a huge debt and, hopefully, become a profit
maker for the family one of these days. We are certainly environmentally conscious because we drink the
same water from the underground pumps located in close proximity to the lagoon that the pigs do. An
unfortunate accident occurred in October of last year that we certainly regret. We have taken steps that
should avert an accident of this type from happening again. An assessment of the magnitude disclosed in
your letter would be devastating to our operation. We hope that you give serious consideration to our
requests.

SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION and
Recommendation for Enforcement
Carl Jones Farm, Reg. No. 83-12
Near Johns, Scotland County
Dear Mr. Jones:
On the evening of October 25, 1996, staff of the Fayetteville Regional
Office investigated a complaint alleging that animal waste from the Carl Jones
farm was being discharged into the waters of Steer Creek, near the Johns
community in Scotland County. It was apparent at the time of the visit that
an excessive volume of lagoon waste had been land applied, resulting in
overland flow and a substantial amount of runoff. This waste material entered
a drainage ditch and flowed into Steer Branch, class "C-Swamp" waters of the
State.
Regional staff returned to the farm on Monday, October 28, in order to
contact the farm owner or manager and discuss the unpermitted discharge. On
arrival, it was discovered that lagoon waste was again being applied on the
same saturated field observed at the time of the previous visit. As noted
before, waste was flowing overland, entering the drainage ditch, and
discharging into Steer Branch. Staff members were eventually able to locate an
employee of the farm and recommend that the irrigation pump be shut down. It
was also recommended that measures be taken to eliminate further runoff of
waste from the field_
Contact was finally made with the management of the Carl Jones farm on

Mr. Carl Jones
November 26, 1996
Page 2
the following day, October 29. Alex and Ed Jones met with Regional Office
staff and discussed the circumstances leading to the discharges as well as the
possible outcomes.
As a registered confined animal feeding operation (CAFO), this farm has
been deemed permitted by the Division of Water Quality in accordance with
Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, 2H, Rule .0217. An
individual non -discharge permit is not required if certain criteria are met. A
major requirement to be deemed permitted is that there must not be a discharge
of any wastewater from the operation to the waters of the State. Due to the
above mentioned discharges of animal wastes into such waters, your facility is
found to be in violation of its 2H.0217 Permit.
As a result, this office is preparing a recommendation to the Director of
the Division of Water Quality to proceed with revocation of your deemed
permitted status.
By allowing a discharge of animal waste to waters of the State, you have
also violated sections of N.C. General Statute 143-215.1(a), which states in
per:
"No person shall do any of the following things or carry out any of the
following activities until or unless such person shall have applied for
and shall have received from the commission a permit therefor and shall
have complied with such conditions, if any, as prescribed by such permit:
(1) !lake any outlets into the waters of the State;"
Item (6) of this Statute also prohibits the discharge of waste which will
result in "violation of the water quality standards applicable to the assigned
classifications...". The stream standard for fecal coliform density was
exceeded in Steer Branch as a result of each of these discharge events.
The purpose of this letter is also to advise you: (1) To cease all
unpermitted discharges of waste from your facility, (2) To take immediate
action(s) to prevent discharges in the future, (3) That a report will be
forwarded to the Division of Water Quality Compliance Group detailing the
violation of NCGS 143--215.1 and including recommendations for enforcement
action, and (4) That recommendations will be forwarded to the Director of the
Division of Water Quality for the revocation of the "Deemed Permitted" status
of your facility.
It is also suggested that you submit an approved certified animal waste
management plan to this office within 60 days of receipt of this letter. This
plan should also include a description of measures to be implemented in order
to ensure that no further discharges occur. We urge you to contact the
Scotland County Natural Resources Conservation Service at [phone] for
additional information regarding a certified waste management plan. Such a
Plan will be a required by the Division Director prior to reconsidering this
farm for coverage under the deemed permitted provision.of the Rule.

Mr. Carl Jones
November 26, 1996

Your prompt attention to these matters will be taken into consideration
in the forthcoming enforcement report.
Should you have questions concerning this matter, or if this office can
be of assistance, please contact either Mr. Michael Wicker, Water Quality
Regional Supervisor, Mr. Ed Buchan, Environmental Engineer, or Ken Averitte,
at [phone].

FINAL DECISION
CI\l�ihU^1h�i Nif;LMA%EMENT
GOM1,01-SI ON
THIS MATTER came before the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions of the
Environmental Management Commission, pursuant to N.C.G.S. §143-215.6A and §143B-282.1,
on October 9, 1997, upon recommendation of the Director of the Division of Water Quality for
entry of a final decision on the assessment of civil penalties and investigation costs against the
C.L. Jones Estate Farms, Inc., in the amount of $5,577.71 ($4,000.00 plus $1,577.71
investigative costs). C.L. Jones Estate Farms, Inc.'s request for remission was presented to the
Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions for consideration. The Division of Water Quality was
represented by Mr. Tommy Stevens, Regional Supervisor in the Fayetteville Regional Office,
and C.L. Jones Estate Farms, Inc., was represented by Mr. L.S. Page, a shareholder and family
member.
Having considered the record, arguments of the parties, and the factors set forth in
N.C.G.S. §143B-282.1(b) and (c), the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions finds the facts
contained in the Director's Findings and Decision and Assessment of Civil Penalties as stipulated
by C.L. Jones Estate Farms, Inc., and that the Director properly applied the criteria set forth in
N.C.G.S. §143B-282.1 in determining the amount of the civil penalties. The Committee further
finds that there are no grounds for remission or reduction of the penalties assessed by the

2
Director for violation of 15A NCAC 2H .0217 by discharging animal waste to the waters of the
State during land application. Upon duly made motion and vote, the Committee finds that the
assessment of civil penalties and costs in the amount of $5,577.71 should be upheld.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED:

Dear Mr. Jones:

SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION and
Recommendation for Enforcement
Carl Jones Farm, Reg. No. 83-12
Near Johns, Scotland County
On the evening of October 25, 1996, staff of the Fayetteville Regional
Office investigated a complaint alleging that animal waste from the Carl Jones
farm was being discharged into the waters of Steer Creek, near the Johns
community in Scotland County. It was apparent at the time of the visit that
an excessive volume of lagoon waste had been land applied, resulting in
overland flow and a substantial amount of runoff. This waste material entered
a drainage ditch and flowed into Steer Branch, class "C-Swamp" waters of the
State.
Regional staff returned to the farm on Monday, October 28, in order to
contact the farm owner or manager and discuss the unpermitted discharge. On
arrival, it was discovered that lagoon waste was again being applied on the
same saturated field observed at the time of the previous visit. As noted
before, waste was flowing overland, entering the drainage ditch, and
discharging into Steer Branch. Staff members were eventually able to locate an
employee of the farm and recommend that the irrigation pump be shut down. It
was also recommended that measures be taken to eliminate further runoff of
waste from the field.
Contact whe finally made with the management of the Carl Jones farm on

the following day, October 29. Alex and 8d Jones met with Regional office
staff and discussed the circumstances leading to the discharges as well as the
possible outcomes.
As a registered confined animal feeding operation (CAFO), this farm has
been deemed permitted by the Division of Water Quality in accordance with
Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, 2H, Rule ;0217. An
individual non -discharge permit is not required if certain criteria are met. A
major requirement to be deemed permitted is that there must not be a discharge
of any wastewater from the operation to the waters of the State. Due to the
above mentioned discharges of animal wastes into such waters, your facility is
found to be in violation of its 2H.0217 Permit.
As a result, this office is preparing a recommendation to the Director of
the Division of Water Quality to proceed with revocation of your deemed
permitted status.
By allowing a discharge of animal waste to waters of the State, you have
also violated sections of N.C. General Statute 143-215.1(a), which states in
part.,
"No person shall do any of the following things or carry out any of the
following activities until or unless such person shall have applied for
and shall have received from the Commission a permit therefor and shall
have complied with such conditions, if any, as prescribed by such permit:
(1) Make any outlets into the waters of the State;"
Item (6) of this Statute also prohibits the discharge of waste which will
result in "violation of the water quality standards applicable to the assigned
classifications...". The stream standard for fecal coliform density was
exceeded in Steer Branch as a result of each of these discharge events.
The purpose of this letter is also to advise you: (1) To cease all
unpermitted discharges of waste from your facility, (2) To take immediate
action(s) to prevent discharges in the future, (3) That a report will be
forwarded to the Division of Water Quality Compliance Group detailing the
violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and including recommendations for enforcement
action, and (4) That recommendations will be forwarded to the Director of the
Division of water Quality for the revocation of the "Deemed Permitted" status
of your facility.
It is also suggested that you submit an approved certified animal waste
management plan to this office within 60 days of receipt of this letter. This
plan should also include a description of measures to be implemented in order
to ensure that no further discharges occur. we urge you to contact the
Scotland County Natural Resources Conservation Service at [phone] for
additional information regarding a certified waste management plan. Such a
plan will be a required by the Division Director prior to reconsidering this
farm for coverage under the deemed permitted provision of the Rule.

RE: C.L. JONES FARM WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN - SCOTLAND CO.
DATE: JANUARY 17, 1997
This is to inform you that I, as a Certified Technical
Specialist, have been working with the owners/operators of the C.L.
Jones swine farm on completing their waste utilization plan. They
have been very cooperative in providing the needed information to
certify the plan. Presently the lagoon capacity and waste
utilization sections are complete. The farm has sufficient land to
utilize the waste at agronomic rates while maintaining the lagoon
at the required level. The plan is written with hybrid bermuda
-turf as the main crop with 1.5 harvests per year/acre. Annual rye
will also be overseeded to allow winter pumping. The rye will be
harvested as sod or hay and removed from the farm depending on
available market. A maximum application rate of .75 inches/hour
and a max total application volume of -50 inches has been
established based on soil type and infiltration rate. Through
research and input from NCSU turf specialists an.agronomic rate of
1201bs. N/acre per crop cycle has been established for the turf.
Those acres that are harvested twice in one year will receive
170lbs N/acre. The rye will receive less than the agronomic rate
due to available volume at that time of year. A pumping schedule
and running lagoon volume chart have been included in the plan.
The only task that remains is to verify the suitability of the
irrigation equipment and certify that portion of the plan.
Calibration of the equipment and the measuring and laying out of
travel lanes for the hose drag irrigation gun will be done within
the next two weeks.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this plan you
can contact me at 910-997-8255.

Subj: Your letter dated May 27, 1997 -"Assessment of Civil Penalties for Violation NCAC 211.0217"
Dear Mr. Tedder:
We are in receipt of the subject letter. Please find attached the executed copy of the Waiver of Right to an
Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of the Facts form.
The purpose of this letter is to request and justify leniency on the magnitude of the assessment and to
request your consideration for steps we have taken to avoid reoccurrence of an accident of this type in the
future.
First of all, C. L. Jones Estates Farms, Inc. is a family owned business. We initiated steps five years ago to
become a contract hog grower for Carroll Foods because we thought it would provide a better return on
investment than the crops we were growing. With payment of the loan plus upkeep of the houses and
r facilities we are not Yet breaking even; Once the loan is paid off the investment will hopefully begin to
a C ; JeT o r produce a profit, but, that will happen only if we can maintain the facility in good working order.. We t j
T
,..,have another three years before the loan will be paid. My message is - We cannot afford a $5000 plus - 6o tZ
assessment. it would be devastating to our operation.

Secondly, the incident which caused the illage was an accident. It was a situation where a sprayer's'^5
malfunctioned causing an excessive punt of wastewater to be concentrated on to one area. The
inexperience of the person monito •ng the sprayer was a key reason for the accident. Since the problem
occurred we have taken the following steps:
• Finai ttendance of our Operations Manager at the Environmental Training Chars-,!�'
• Provided in-house training and awareness on the environmental requirements on the farm
• Established a consultation relationship with DEHNR representatives in FayettevilleL---- o^ 01*4- 'Al Jt
• With the assistance of our Extension Agent, produced and submitted a detailed plan on applying 1%,% � �s s f
lagoon waste during the vari- s p seasons denoting nutrient and h draulic rates. This{ tan is now
being executed. �.o ��aSe-� 041 GOe... �S1r�C! J Ala.
• Acquired a lease on an add tional acres which now has irrigation installed and is undergoing
preparation and planting as an added area for dispensing of nutrients from the lagoon.
• Modified our sprayers with new nozzles to conform to the dispensing rates described in the plan
In summary, we are a family owned business trying to pay off a huge debt and, hopefully, become a profit
maker for the family one of these days. We are certainly environmentally conscious because we drink the
same water ftoPmthe underground pumps located in close proximity to the lagoon that the pigs do. An
he —unfortunate acciden occurred in October of last year that we certainly regret. We have taken steps that
h--should-a`veranaJccident of this type from happening again. An assessment of the magnitude disclosed in
�Rvr your letter would be devastating to our operation. We hope that you give serious consideration to our
requests.
