Registration No. 82 - 42
Sampson County
Dear Mr. Royal:
On July 23, 1998, staff: from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality inspected the John Royal 91-8 swine facility. It was noted from the
review of the irrigation records that the small grain over seed had been over
applied on by an excess of 65 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) in some
areas. The waste application field that had recently been cleared and sprigged in
coastal bermuda contained several tree and stump piles that need to be removed.
It was also noted that the farm was not maintaining weekly lagoon levels as stated
in the general permit.
In regard to the deficiencies noted during the inspection, the following actions
are requested:
1. Comply with the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) when
applying waste using the correct PAN rates as fisted for each crop depending on
the soil types for the field.
2. Remove the tree and stump piles from the waste application field so that it will
not delay the establishment of coastal bermuda in these areas.
3. Need to record -weekly lagoon levels since this is a requirement of the general
permit as stated in section III (2).
