SUBJECT: NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY
White Horse Swine Facility
Registration No. 82-119
Sampson County
On May 8, 1997, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality inspected the White Horse swine facility. It was observed that the certified animal
waste management plan (CAWMP) was out of date and did not reflect the actual crops grown
and the facility was registered as having a capacity of 3670 swine rather than 7340 swine.
The inspection revealed that the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP)
should reflect corn, soybean, and wheat rotation rather than bermuda grass and small grain.
Also, additional acreage has been purchased and should be incorporated in the CAWMP.
The lagoon dikes need to be planted in grass cover to prevent erosion and weeds need cutting
to prevent rodent harborages.
In regard to the deficiencies noted during the inspection, the following actions are
requested:
1. Contact a technical specialist to update the CAWMP to include the additional acreage and
the appropriate crops.
2. Consult with a technical specialist in regard to record keeping for the plant available
nitrogen (PAN) balance on the IRR -1 and IRR -2 forms.
3. Consult with a technical specialist with the Agriculture Extension Service to assist in
possible cover grass options on the lagoon dikes.
4. Contact Ms. Sue Homewood with the Division of Water Quality in regard to correcting
the facility registration at [phone] extension 502.
