The.reason for the violation: Greater rainfall amounts than usual that we have had from mid February
through April. No rainfall records available. Will start recording with new permit on May 1 st. On days that I could,
I have irrigated to bring the level back to compliance. Current freeboard is at 21 inches. Water conservation
measures in place: Sow farm- 24 hour time clocks used on troughs when farm was built. July of 2002 I added 5
minute timers to the system to help reduce water wasted. Finishing: March of this year, panel waters replaced with
cup waters in 2 barns ,which will reduce wasted water. Cup waters for remaining 2 barns are on order.
Actions to prevent future freeboard violations: To maximize as much PAN to cropping system as specified
in the CAWMP and continue to look for ways to conserve water.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Lee:
On August 5, 1998, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the
Division of Water Quality inspected the Marshall Lee swine facility. It was
observed that the bermuda grass spray fields were poor to nonexistent and
consisted primarily of other grasses. It was also observed that the CAWMP
issued in 1997 was basing the PAN rate for this spray field on production
records from this field previously reported to be 8 to 10 tons; however, in
1997 no bertnuda stand was present . In regard to the deficiencies noted
during the inspection, the following actions are requested:
1. Consult with an agriculture extension specialist for assistance in regard
to the removal of the competition grasses and weeds an the evaluation
of the bermuda grass stand.
2. Submit a copy of the production records for the five previous seasons
for this field that illustrate the modification was justified.
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.

REG. OFFICE
This letter is in response to your letter dated August 13, 1998.
I have taken the following actions on Items 1 and 2.
Item 1-- Please find attached a letter from Bundy Plyler,
Agricultural Extension Agent. I am following Bundy's
recommendations. In addition, I have collected soil samples and
applied lime in accordance with soil test recommendations. I have
noticed a marked difference in the appearance of the Bermuda grass.
Item 2-- Please find attached the production records used in
preparing'my WUP. The average of the best 3 years was 10.2 tons of
hay per year. As noted in the current WUP, Howard Hobson,
Technical Specialist, was more comfortable using the value of 8
tons per acre per year. This would allow for some fluctuation
in annual yields.
My goal is to manage the entire farm to achieve the 8 to 10 tons of
hay per year average. Please let me know if additional information
is needed.
Sincerely,
Marshall Lee

This letter is intended to be a summation of my initial visit on July 1, 1998,
and four visits since. I went by your farm this morning and again looked at your
grass situation. The measures you are taking to control the weed competition seem
to be working as more sprigs are noticeable. Not only do I see more sprigs, the
sprigs are running and making an attempt to cover. I feel certain that your problem
all along has been weed competition --more specifically shading or lack of sunlight
reaching sprigs because of a weed canopy.
As stated earlier, your weed control management seems to be effective. I am
not positive as to how the weeds became a problem. The seed could have been
introduced at sprigging, but it is more likely that they were always there and simply
got brought to the surface during land preparation before sprigging. The point
being: as the bermudagrass covers, the weeds will be crowded out unless the soil
surface is disturbed. It is my recommendation that no discing be done. Weed
canopy should be controlled by mowing at a height that does not affect the
bermudagrass.
I want to state that you still need to be concerned about controlling weed
competition and ready to act early next spring. Until 100% coverage is established,
sprigs will be vulnerable to shading. There are sections of the field that are almost
covered now and that was definitely not the case on July 1. However, there are stili
some sections of the field where sprigs are sparse, but I feel that with time and

proper weed control they will eventually cover. The rule that I use is that you
should be able to step from sprig to sprig for enough sprigs to be there for future
coverage. Again, next spring will be the time to assess these problem areas and my
feeling is that they will be minimal.

Bundy Plyler

Dear Mr. Lee:
On August 26, 1999, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality conducted a routine inspection of your swine facility located in Sampson
County. It was observed that the inside slopes of the lagoon did not contain a suitable grass
cover in some areas. A review of the irrigation records indicated that the small grain
overseed Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) rales had been exceeded by greater than 10% for
this past winter. The General Permit in condition 111.6.f states that "The Permittee shall
report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case
more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following
events: (f) Overapplying animal waste either in excess of the limits set out in the CAWMP
or where runoff enters surface waters.". It was also noted that the coastal bermuda was
weak in some areas within the waste application fields.
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be performed:
1. Establish a grass cover on the inside slopes of the lagoon to prevent erosion.
2. Comply with the CAWMP and the General Permit when applying animal waste using the
correct PAN rates as specified for each crop.
3. Adhere to all of the General Permit conditions.
4. Keep weeds and other grasses controlled in the coastal bermuda fields to allow coastal
to spread and establish.

Dear Mr. Brown:
October 24, 1999
This letter is in response to a notice of deficiency received after a DWQ inspection on August 26, 1999. The four
areas of deficiency are to be addressed as follows:
(l) The two areas in question on the inside slope of the lagoon are not on a "dike" side of the lagoon and so there
is no danger of a break. They are located where the recirculation pumps and irrigation pump are set. Last year, I
sprayed the area with Round -Up to facilitate working on the pumps. This spring, workers on the farm sprayed
Sahara on the areas while spraying around the buildings. Since this chemical lasts all year, the grass will have to be
re-established next spring. From past experience, I have little doubt that it will come back on its own. If it does not, I
will re -seed it.
(2) The over -application of PAN occurred on .63 of an acre by 8 pounds. As instructed, I have reduced
application on the coastal crop by more than that. This mistake was noted while transferring the daily pumping log to
the individual field records. I realize that keeping this mistake from happening again requires me to transfer the daily
records to the field logs on a more prompt basis.
(3) 1 shall review the General Permit from time to time and especially if something out of the ordinary happens in
order to know my responsibility to DWQ.
(4) The coastal bermuda fields were re -sprigged last spring because of a take-over by competition goose grass. 1
have sprayed herbicide over the last two summers and finally have an excellent stand. There are a few spots that still
have goose grass in them, and these areas have been treated with a hand-held sprayer with Round -Up. This spot
spraying should keep the competition grass from getting a foothold from which to spread, thus allowing the coastal
bermuda full potential.
The above actions should resolved the noted deficiencies. Please advise if further action is necessary.
Sincerely,
Marshall T. Lee
