High Freeboard
Tommy Naylor Farm # 1 
NCA282301
Sampson County
Dear Mr. Naylor:
On 1111812006, you or an employee of your farm notified the Fayetteville Regional
Office Division of Water Quality, as required by the Swine Waste Management General Permit
NCA200000 Section 111 1 1(e), that the freeboard level of the lagoon was 17.0 inches, which is
less than the minimum required. The General Permit states "The maximum waste level in
lagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the facility's CAWMP. At a minimum,
maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides
adequate storage to contain the 25 -year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional one (1) foot of
structural freeboard."
We appreciate your cooperation in self -reporting high freeboards and providing records.
Please bear in mind that high freeboards must be reported by phone, email, fax, or personal
contact within 24 hours. Plans of Action (POAs) must be filed within 24 hours for structural and
48 hours for storm storage high freeboards. They EXPIRE after five (5) days for structural and
thirty (30) days for storage high freeboards. At that time, the situation should be resolved or,
upon request, the Division may grant extensions for adverse conditions.
Required Corrective Action:
At this time, the incident is closed. The Division strongly recommends that you
review your facilities and procedures with the goal of eliminating future high freeboards,
which could lead to mandatory review of your Waste Utilization Plan by a Technical
Specialist, Notices of Violation or civil penalties in the future if freeboard noncompliance
remains an issue.
