OIC Designation for site
Dear Mr. Barnhardt;
RECEIVED
DEC 0 7 -20V
ENR-FAYETTEVILLE REGIONALOFRCE
I am responding about the NoV Mr. Mott (82-267) received regarding having no OIC
Designated for this facility. Mr. Mott does have an OIC designated for this facility as of
2109104, which I have attached the OIC Designation Form to this response. However,
Mr. Mott did receive notification from your office earlier this year regarding no OIC
Designation for Mott Site #2 (82-727). Mr. Mott never received OIC Designation
Request for Mott # 1 (82-267). I contacted Raleigh Central Office and Joan Schnieder in
your office to explain that Mottt Site #2 is not in operation, however is in the construction
process and that there would be an OIC Designated once sprayfields are cleared and farm
ready to stock anifnals. {
In review of past inspection reports (from current back to 2004), Soil & Water and
DWQ do not mention farm being out of compliance for not having a current or active
OIC Designated for Mott #1 (82-267). Most of the past inspection reports do list Mr.
Mott's current OIC as James Blake Moore (OIC# 26555), which is correct as you will see
from the form I have attached. Please make sure that there has been no mix up of 82-267
(Mott #1) and 82-727 (Mott #2- currently under construction).
1 will however send WPCSOCC another copy of the OIC Designation for 82-267.
Thank you for your time in this matter and please call me if you have any questions or
concerns.

Lack of required pumping records
and poor spray field condition
Mott Swine Farm (Far. # 82-267)
Firetower Road
Sampson County
On 10/6/97, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality inspected the Mott Swine Farm. It was noted that the associated spray fields
serving this operation were in poor condition and had very little significant vegetative
cover. In addition, the required irrigation records were not present on the date of the
inspection.
Therefore, the Division of Water Quality strongly recommends that you immediately
establish a winter crop (e.g, rye grass) in the spray fields so that you can lower the liquid
Ievel in the lagoon via spray application and maintain the minimum 19" of combined
freeboard and storage. You may also need to re -sprig the coastal bermuda for proper
waste application in the spring/summer months. It is also requested that you keep all
pumping records, soil analysis, and lagoon sample results up to date and at the farm site
at all times.
Please notify this office in writing by no later than November 17, 1997 at the
address located on the bottom of this page as to the actions taken or proposed to be taken
to resolve these deficiencies.
