Dear Mr. CannadT
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation for failing to follow or implement your waste
management plan. This is a violation of Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code,
Chapter 2, Subchapter 2H, Section .0217(4).
An inspection of your swine farm was conducted by Regional DEM staff on 2112196 and
414196, and it revealed the existing lagoon did not have the sufficient freeboard of one foot and
seven inches for the 24 hour 25 year storm event. In addition, it was also observed that the
application field was not complete and still needed to be cleared of roots and subsequently
sprigged with bermuda grass as your certified plan states:
"Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage
must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the
volume of waste being stored in your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the
dike."

Consequently, in order to remain a deemed permitted facility, it is required that you
implement your certified plan and establish the six (6) acres of vegetative cover as prescribed in
the plan. This will allow you to begin land applying waste so as to lower your lagoon level.
All corrective actions must be completed within thirty (30) days from the receipt of this letter.
Failure to do so may result in this office recommending to the Director that an enforcement
action, with a possible civil assessment, be taken and may cause the facility to lose it's deemed
status and require you to apply for an individual non -discharge permit for the facility.
Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge waste
water to the surface waters of the State without a permit. The Division of Environmental
Management has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000.00 per day per
violation.
When the required corrective actions are complete, please notify this office in writing at
the address at the bottom of the previous page. If you have any questions concerning this matter,
please call Ed Buchan or Michael Wicker at (910) 486-1541.

On March 10, 2003, a representative of your animal operation informed the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) that there was inadequate freeboard in the lagoon(s) serving this facility.
This lack of adequate freeboard is in non-compliance with the Certificate of Coverage
issued to this facility on February 15, 2001. In addition to this Notice of Violation (NOV), this
non-compliance is subject to an appropriate enforcement action by DWQ. This action can
consist of one or more of the following: a civil or criminal enforcement action; an injunction;
and/or a requirement to apply for coverage under an individual permit. The action chosen will
be based on complete evaluation of all factors that resulted in the inadequate freeboard; the
actions taken to restore the needed freeboard; and the actions being proposed to prevent the
problem from reoccurring.
To assist us in our review, please provide the Fayetteville Regional Office with an
evaluation of the reasons for the freeboard violation(s) and a strategy to prevent future freeboard
violation(s). This evaluation and strategy must include but is not limited to the following:
Current Freeboard level(s)
Freeboard level records in the lagoon(s) for the past 12 months up to the date of submittal
Spraying records for the past 12 months up to the date of submittal

Once this information is received and evaluated by the DWQ staff, a determination will
be made as to the appropriate compliance/enforcement actions to be taken. Each case will be
evaluated on its own merit. The efforts by the owner/producer to notify DWQ of the problem,
efforts made to resolve the problem once identified, and efforts proposed to prevent future
problems will be positive factors in this determination.
Nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you either the responsibility or
liability for this non-compliance or future cases of non-compliance. If you have any questions
