Mr. Stephen A. Barnhardt,
RECEIVED
DEHR-GAYEi EWLEREGIONAL QMGE
In reference to the Notice of Violation I received in August for Facility No. 82-272,
Permit No. NCA 282272:
Addressing applications to fields 7A & 7B; both these pulls are covered in my waste
plan. Earlier in the year, I had a tech. Specialist rewrite my plan to include both grazing
and non -grazing application rates. When I received my copy, I noticed that he had
inadvertently left off pulls 7A & 7B. I carried it back to him for correction, which he did.
Both pulls are covered in my plan.
Addressing over application on pull 6K; my irrigation equipment calibration had changed
(from 220gpm on 5124104 to 254gpm on 6122105 to 200gpm on 6/8/06). When pumping
during the winter months of 2006, I had made some adjustrnent to my sprinkler to reduce
the GPM. I didn't recalibrate my equipment at that time. My paperwork shows the over-
application using the higher figure. If I had used the current calibration, it would not
have showed an overage. I'm very careful about my waste application. This problem
will not occur again.
Thank You,
Carlton Barefoot

Dear Carlton Barefoot:
Alan W, Klimek, P.E. Director
Division of Water Quality
Your Animal Waste Management General NPDES Permit contains a condition
that addresses the sludge survey requirement for the lagoon(s) at your animal
feeding operation.
Your NPDES Permit Number NCA282272 Condition 111. 16, on page 10 states:
"All facilities, which are issued a COC to operate under this permit, shall conduct
a survey of the sludge accumulation in all lagoons within one (1) year of receiving
the COC and every year thereafter. This survey shall include but not be limited to
a sketch showing the depth of sludge in the various locations within each lagoon.
This survey shall be submitted as part of the facility's annual report in the year it
was conducted..."
Our records indicate that the Division has not received the sludge survey results
for the year 2005 from your facility and your facility had not previously exempted
based on prior surveys. The form was due March 1, 2006. To avoid possible
enforcement action for a violation of your permit, please submit the results within
thirty'(30) days of receipt of this letter to the following address:
