these Issues.
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed:

existing irrigation piping at the stream as to the minimum construction
standards and adequacy to prevent a discharge to waters of the state.

Dear Mr. Tew:
You are hereby notified that, having been permitted to have a non -discharge permit for the
subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217, you have been found to be
in violation of your 2H .0217 Permit.
On July 15, 2002 staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality
performed a routine inspection of the Lynn Tew Farm located oft: SR 1412 in Sampson County.
During the inspection, it was observed that the facility had saplings on the backslope of the lagoon
that require removal, the irrigation waste application fields did not have the correct crop, and the
waste application records did not include the irrigation events documented in January and February
as recorded on the calendar with the lagoon levels. In addition, the lagoon design was not available
for the facility and no operator in charge (OIC) was designated for the facility during 2001 and 2002.
Also, the irrigation pipe used to transport the waste from the facility to the waste application fields
across SR 1412 is installed in a culvert (concrete tile) which empties into a unnamed tributary of the
Little Coharie Creek and does not appear to be an approved design.
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed:
1. Immediately register an operator in charge (OIC) for the facility on the enclosed form with
the Division of Water Quality in accordance with your General Permit.
