lagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the CAWMP. At a minimum,
maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides
adequate storage to contain the 25 -year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional 1 foot of
structural'freeboard.
Failure to notify Division of Water Quality of inadequate freeboard in your waste
structure within 24 hours and failure to submit a written report within 5 days is a
violation of your permit No. AWG100000 Section III. 13 c. This violation could
result in Enforcement.
Due to the health condition of Mr. Strickland at the time of this event it is recommended
that this farm name a Certified Back-up Operator. It is very important that you report
inadequate levels of your lagoons and record weekly freeboards.
The Division of Water Quality will_take no further action for this reported incident at this
time. However, if you have not done so you are asked to please notify this office in
