Dear Sir,
In regards to the October 20, 2000 letter notifying facility No. 82-
269 of the over application of nitrogen on pull 1 B and 1A. As you at
DENR are well aware of the volume of water that we responsible
swine farmers had to deal with in 1999. In no way is this over
application a normal procedure that this facility follows. I realize that
pull 1 B at this facility was over applied on small grain, however I will
strive to prevent this from occurring in the future.

In accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.10G, all animal operations who receive an animal
waste management system permit will be charged in each year of the term an annual permit fee. Annual permit fees are
billed following the issuance of the permit and then annually thereafter on the anniversary of that date. Your animal waste
management system permit was issued on 4/9/99.
Your annual permit fee for the period of 419/99 - 4/8/2000 is $150.00_ Your payment was due 6/4/99. Because

to 15 NCAC 2H.0205 (c) (4). and G.S. 143-215.1 (b) (3).
Effective 60 days from receipt of this notice, the subject permit is hereby revoked unless the required Annual
Animal Waste Management System Permit fee for your animal operation is received within that time. Operation of an
animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of Notch Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and is
subject to the assessment of a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day. Your payment should be sent to:

Leslie Hobbs Farm
: Facility No. 82 - 269
Sampson County
Dear Mr. Hobbs:
On August 26, 1999, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality conducted a routine inspection of your swine facility located in Sampson
County. It was noted that a current third party agreement for the application of wastewater
was not on the farm site. The agreement expired last year. Trees were observed on the
back slopes of the lagoon dike, and need to be removed as required by General Permit
condition 11.10 which states that 'Trees, shrubs, and other woody vegetation shall not be
allowed to grow on the lagoon/waste storage pond embankments. All trees shall be
removed in accordance with good engineering practices.". It was noted that freeboard
records were not being maintained weekly as required by the General Permit issued to this
facility on April 9, 1999. General Permit condition 111.2 states that °Waste lagoon and
storage pond levels shall be recorded weekly on forms supplied or approved by the DWQ.°.
It was also noted that the facility failed to have a copy of the Certificate of Coverage
(COC) and the General Permit on the farm site. General Permit condition 1.4 states that `A
copy of this General Permit, COC, certification forms, lessee and landowner agreements,
and the CAWMP shall be readily available at the farm (stored in places such as the farm
residence, office, outbuildings, etc.) where the animal waste management activities are
being conducted for the life of this permit. These documents shall be kept in good condition
and records shall be maintained in an orderly fashion.". An irrigation layout had recently
been completed for the facility, however it did not coincide with the CAWMP.
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be performed:
1. Obtain a current third party agreement for the application of wastewater to keep with the
farm records.

2. Contact the local NRCS district for assistance in removing the trees from the back slopes of the lagoons.
Maintain both the inside and back slopes of the lagoon dikes so that they can be inspected routinely for
evidence of erosion, seepage, and damage by animals.
3. Immediately begin recording weekly freeboard levels and obtain a copy of the COC and General Permit
for the farm in order to be in compliance with the General Permit.
4. Contact a technical specialist in order to revise the CAWMP to coincide with the irrigation layout that has
recently been completed for the farm.
Please notify this office in writing on or before October 20, 1999 at the letterhead above as to the
actions taken or proposed to be taken to resolve these deficiencies. Nothing in this letter should be taken as
absolving this facility of the responsibility and liability of any violations that have or may result from these
deficiencies. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact myself at
[phone].
