Dear DWQ,
This Letter is in response to the NOV I received Dated April 16, 2003 Regarding the inadequate
freeboad level reported on March 21, 2003. Enclosed please find the documentation requested for your review.
Answers to the questions in the NOV letter are listed below.
L Summary of actions taken to restore needed freeboard.
Pump the lagoons to maintain freeboard as weather permitted in the window allotted from DWQ for lagoons
between 12 and 19 inches. The lagoons never were above 18 inches ACTUALLY measured in the lagoon.
2 Description of water conservation measures in use at the facility. No conservation devices were installed.
We use recycle water to wash down between groups to minimize the amount of fresh water added to the lagoon.
We also stop washdown of aisles if the freeboard is less than 24 inches.
3.1-agoon levels are no longer in violation ( see attached freeboard log)
4. Actions taken or proposed to prevent future violations
This farm is situated on wet type soils_ It is against regulations to pump on wet soils even if there is on danger of
runoff as is the case on many of my fields. 1 felt it was better for the environment and myself to hold off on
pumping until the soils were at lease minimally adequate to accept the waste applied. These inadequate freeboard
levels were due in part to the excessive rainfall over the past few months and due to inadequate communications
from the state agencies to myself as an operator in charge.
I cite the following example.
On November 15th of 2002 I received an operation review from Martin Mclawhom from soil and water
conservation. My lagoon levels were at the minimum or stop pumping mark Until the fall rains started late
October _ I was informed by soil and water at this review that you could pump 5 inches below the stop pumping
mark in order to establish small grain. For my facility this was too late. 1 try to take advantage of any opportunity
to pump when the soil is ready and crops are growing to maintain as much freeboard as possible and would have
used this opportunity had I known about it, especially due to the heavier soils that 1 have. I stopped pumping at the
stop mark because I was told to stop there or I could be fined by DWQ> It would appear that something could be
done to get this information to those of us who are operating these systems in a timely manner to allow us to utilize
these opportunities when available. Unfortunately, the winter has been wet and there have been no opportunities
for pumping until recently.
Other suggestions are welcome, but I don't know how to stop the rainfall from coming other than to work within
the confines of DWQ regulations as the are currently constructed.

Dear Mr, Baxley,
This letter is to serve as written notification of the runoff to a field ditch which
occurred at the Turkey Hogs LLC farm, facility number 82-303, on the evening of March
4, 2005_ The rumf£ which was called in on the morning of March Sth, was the result of
an irrigation reel motor failure. The engine failed due to a carburetor problem. The
failure caused the reel to stop retracting, which caused the wastewater ro pond and runoff
into a field ditch. The operator was onsite and noticed the reel had stopped an shut the
pump off An earth dam was constructed in the ditch to prevent the water from
advancing down the ditch. The wastewater was then reclaimed from the ditch using a
trash pump and land applied to a nearby sprayfield. The ditch was then flushed using
fresh water from a tanker trailer, which was also land applied.

Dear Mr. Register:
William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary
Alan Klimek, P.E., Director
Division of Water Quality
On July 16, 2002, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality, conducted an
annual inspection of the Travis Register Farm in Sampson County. The inspection revealed that the bermuda grass
waste application fields was predominantly crabgrass, fall panicium, goose grass and dog fennel. Field # 2 was
sprigged in May and does not appear to have survived due in part to the dry weather and the grass competition (goose
grass). Field # 5 appears to have a partial stand with a severe competition problem with fall panicium and crabgrass.
Field # 7 has a fair stand of bermuda considering the severity of the weed competition (dog fennel). In addition, an
inspection of the irrigation piping identified potential problems with the use of tempory aluminum piping to cross canal
ditches which could result in discharges. Also, the facility was overgrown with weeds and grasses around the barn site
which hindered the inspectors ability to conduct a thorough inspection.
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed:
The bermuda grass waste application fields (field # 2) may need to be resprigged in the early spring of 2002
due to the loss of the stand. Contact an agronomist for assistance with preplant recommendations and the
treatment of the weed and grass competition in fields 5 and 7.
2. Contact an irrigation specialist for assistance with the appropriate irrigation design for crossing canals and
ditches to prevent possible future discharges that could result from the use of temporary piping.
3. Maintain the confinement barn site, in particular the immediate area around the barns, waterways,
lagoons, and irrigation equipment, to allow daily inspection to assist in the early detection of waste
handling equipment failures and or malfunctions.

Dear Mr. Rawls:
This letter is in response to your letter of March 16, 2000 Regarding the Notice of Violation and
Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement For my swine operation .
Mr. Robert Heath, Environmental Specialist from the Fayetteville Regional Office, visited my farm on
the evening of February 29th, 2000 and informed me that during a routine flyover of the area earlier in the day it
appeared that there was significant ponding of wastewater on the spray field I was irrigating and he was there to
investigate. I immediately shut down the pump and proceeded to assist Mr. Heath in investigating the event. Mr
Heath and I walked over the spray field and He took pictures of the areas in question. There was some ponding
evident in the edges of the field.
Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the edge of the irrigation gun was irrigating to the edge of
the ditch and there had been a discharge from this point and not from the spray field where the ponding was
observed.
Mr. Heath stated that due to the lateness and lack of daylight he was unable to determine the amount of the
spill and the extent of the damage at this point. He said he would return between 7:30 and 8:00 am the next
morning ( March 1) and evaluate the spill at that time.
Mr. Heath returned the next morning and I assisted him in obtaining samples from the ditch at the point of
entry of the waste water and both upstream and down stream from the spill. Mr Heath stated that the spill was less
than 1,000 gallons and that I should dam up the ditch upstream and downstream from the point of entry of the spill
and pump the water and effluent from the ditch, which I did. Mr. Heath advised me that he would be in touch
regarding the results of the samples and that this completed his investigation at this point. Mr Heath also advised
me to switch the .97 nozzle in my irrigation gun to a smaller one. 1 have installed a .86 nozzle and am currently
using it.
Further investigation has revealed that there were some problems found with the irrigation gun on the system.
It was found that the waste water that entered the ditch form whe gun was caused by a stop on the gun that had
moved during operation because it was cracked when it was moved to set the limits on the gun before starting the
system. This had allowed the edge of the gun's rotation to be at the edge of the ditch.
The second problem found was that although the irrigation gun was rotating during operation the movement of
the gun had become slower that normal. The gun was removed and taken to Rainman Irrigation for testing and
repair. The testing revealed that the bearings in the gun were defective. This caused the slow rotation of the gun
which caused the ponding in the field..
I am enclosing copies of the repair bills and a photograph of the defective stops.
In reply to the specific questions in your letter (1-3) :
1. There was no runoff from the field. The runoff was caused by the defective stop on the gun moving and
allowing the edge of the gun to spray to the edge of the ditch. ( see above explanation.) The bearings and stop on
the gun failed during operation.

2. The system has been thoroughly tested and the above mentioned repairs made. The system is never left alone
when in operation, and is checked regularly before and during operation. A more frequent schedule has been
implemented while the system is in operation.
3. The system has been thoroughly evaluated by professional repair personnel and works properly.
This is the first and only discharge or violation from this facility and it was due to mechanical failure.
My operation has a good clean environmental record and we are working hard to prevent any discharges and to
keep this record.
While there was a discharge of less than 1000 gallons, there were mitigating circumstances that caused this to
happen. 1 do hope you will take them into consideration when making your decision.
Sincerely,
Travis Register

Dear Mr. Register :
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 February 29, 2000, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the
Division of Water Quality performed a routine fly -over of the Travis Register Farrel
in Sampson County. During the fly -over, it was observed that the facility was
irrigating and wastewater was ponding and appeared to be entering a canal ditch
and leaving the spray field. After the fly -over, a site visit was made to the facility
to confirm the findings from the flight. An inspector arrived at the facility and
observed wastewater discharging into the canal ditch an unnamed tributary of Mill
Run, which is Class "C SW" waters. The inspector notified you of the discharge,
and requested that the irrigation be curtailed and that an earthen berm be
constructed in the canal ditch to prevent additional wastewater from entering the
stream.
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed:
Provide a detailed explanation as to why the runoff from the application field
occurred.

SUBJECT: Notice of Recommendation
For Enforcement
S & T/Travis Register
Farm #: 82-303
Sampson County
This letter is to notify you that the Division of Water Quality is considering enforcement action
against the subject facility. The action concerns the violation of NCAC 15A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1)(H)(vh)
for expanding an animal operation without first obtaining an updated certified animal waste management
plan -
A registration form for this facility was received on November 3, 1993 that listed the design
capacity for the subject farm as 2448 finishing hogs. A certification form for the subject facility was
received by the Division on December 18, 1997 for 4896 finishing hogs. This certification form states that
the facility was expanded in 1994. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1)(H)(vii) the subject
facility was required to develop and implement an appropriate animal waste management plan and submit
certification of that plan before additional animals were stocked at the subject facility.
If you have an explanation for this violation that you wish to present, please respond in writing, to
the Non Discharge Compbance/Enforcement Unit within ten (10) days of your receipt of this Notice.
Please submit your response to the following address:
Attn: Dennis R. Ramsey

Division of Water Quality
P.O. Box 29535
Raleigh, NC 27626-0535
Your explanation will be reviewed and if an enforcement action is still deemed appropriate, your
explanation will be forwarded to the Director with the enforcement package for his consideration.
