Jr, Environmental Specialist NC Dept Environment and Natural Resources Fayetteville Regional Office 225 Green St, Ste 714 Fayetteville, NC 28301-5043 Subject: Notice of Deficien Top Hog Farm Facility No. 82-312 Sampson County Dear Mr Hasty, REQEi'D ' L6L a f 1998 FAYEt 1 EViLLt REG. OFFICE I am responding to the letter I received on July 2, 1998 concerning the farm Number 82-312, Top Hog Farm. On ,Tune 4, 1998, ponding and runoff was noted on a follow up inspection for newly sprigged fields. This resulted from two problems dealing with excessive heat and dryness at this time period. First: We, my employees and I, were trying to keep the new fields wet enough to seed in a good established cover crop of new sprigs an sandy land. Due to the excessive heat and slight but steady breeze, we had slowed the reel down for better penetration of the soil, as well as to allow time to get back to that section of the field, due to the size of the fields being sprayed. Second: We were moving equipment from one spot to another in a more hasty manner which resulted in the second problem: damage to the equipment. The damage was a kink in the hose on the reel, which came from pulling out into the field to fast. My employees did not understand that the friction of moving water would eventually rub a hole in this type of hose, if there was a kink in it. I proceeded to explain hydraulic engineering to them so this would not be considered as a problem in the future. They said they checked the line after the kink happened and there was no leak when they ran the system. In resolving the problems, we attacked the most threating first. Due to the imminent danger, if rain came, of further run off, I contacted an excavator when was hired. By 11:00am, the day I received first notice from Scott, the problem on the ditch was handled. We removed the waste, dredged the ditch and built up a bream along the side of the ditch to protect it incase of heavy rain. We discussed coming back and leveling the field away from the ditch, once the field had dried out. This should be accomplished within the next three weeks, weather permitting. In resolving the problem of the equipment, the hose has been spliced, as should have been done on a kink and the speed of the reel has been increased to aid in preventing the possibility of runoff. If you have any questions or caments, please do not hesitate to contact me an my mobile phone at 910-596-1792. If I am not available, please leave a message, there is an answering service on it, I will return your call as soon as possible. Thank you, Jimmy D MCLamb P +y JAMES B.

The referral was due to animal waste which had ponded in the waste application field and had entered a ditch adjacent to the field. The investigation revealed that waste had been allowed to pond in a low area in the field and that said waste had run-off into the ditch. However, the waste was contained in the ditch and had not left the property. In regard to the deficiency noted during the inspection, the following action is requested. I. Irrigate in a manner so that waste does not run off the application field. 225 GREEN STREET, SUITE 714, FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 28301-5043 PHONE 910-4ae-1541 FAX 910-486-0707 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY /AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER -50% RECYCLED/10% POST -CONSUMER PAPER 1 ff ,64L Mr. McLamb 5-30-98 Page 2 Please provide a written response to this office on or before July 15, 1998, as to the actions taken or proposed to be taken to resolve this deficiency.

Mr. McLamb has consulted with our office regarding the stand of rye overseed. There has been some growth of the rye since the December visit by your office which would indicate that the winter crop was planted. We have found by site visits to various farms that the initial establishment of this year's winter crop (overseed and grain) has been below par. Nutrient levels in the soil at planting had been compromised by heavy rain. Most farmers have not been able to apply enough nitrogen via lagoon effluent to get a good start. Just as weather and field conditions began to allow some pumping, there was a long freeze along with the extra water from snow. Broadcast planting of overseed is an allowed practice and has been successful at this site prior to this season. The condition of all overseeded pasture, drilled or broadcast, is much the same everywhere. RECEIVED � �g 15 2444 FAYETTEviLLE REG.

PR/jh cc: Sonya Avant -Compliance Group Wilson Spencer -Sampson Co. NRCS Trent Allen-DSWC Fayetteville Office John Bizic-Murphy Family Farms Central Files -Raleigh 4 ,� Paul E. Rawls Regional Water Quality Supervisor April 26, 2001 Mr. Rawls, This letter is to aid you in the understanding of my decisions on my farm and wiht the calculations of the 30 -day PoA With respect to the lagoon level being at or near the 20' mark, I was trying to maintain a minimal pumping due to the exceptionally dry season. This would aid my future decision on cost $ conversions of covering my lagoon to prevent pumping rainfall compared to actual cost of pumping. Covering my lagoon is my first objective after being relieved of farm debt. This cover will reduce pumping and reduce air quality concerns. Both issues are in the publics and my interest of protecting the environment while watching cost closely. On the night of March 26, two water lines in the front right pens of two houses were found the next morning off of the water pipes. These full 314" flows of water filled my lagoon very quickly. Weather was the reason no pumping started right then. If the weather had permitted, we would have had the lagoon back down the next day. With respect to the 30 -day PoA forms you sent me, I carried them straight to the MRCS office for the conversion factors and other related numbers. My production of organic nutrients is rated in tons and your forms want it in cubic feet then gallons. At first, the form was filled out as printed, but the office and I noted discrepency in yearly, monthly, and daily numbers being crossed over each other. Thus, I broke down all numbers to daily for closer calculations to actual figures. Also on a related note, with respect to rainfall over evaporation, my barns have a greater evaporation due to the cubic foot of each animal. In my barns, the animals rush to the flush gutters getting wet, then dry off by evaporation each time the system flushes during the day. Thus, the surface area of my pigs (2400), will be added to the calculations with that of the surface area of the lagoon. This will increase the rate of water removed from my lagoon. Also, fans in the houses can increase the drying rate on the pigs surface area when they are used to cool the pig environment. If you have any questions, please call me at 910-596-1792. Thank You, Jimmy D. McLamb PS The reason for the delay in time was because of having the lagoon reanalyzed as instructed by Trent Allen, NRCS office. A*Aw.

These outside hay people don't cut as often as we use to. Thus, we now are having to change our farm practices such as spraying pesticides to meet the needs of our farm. Immediately after the cutting we will spray 2-4-D for the larger weed control. Then if money allows we will follow up with "MSMA" or "Allie" for competitive grasses. Then next spring in March preferably, we will use "Atrozeene" for pre -emergence control of the seeded weeds. Item 2: Mow Lagoon Banks - We have currently mowed the inside slope of the lagoon. We discussed this matter on the day of inspection that my side cutting bush hog needed an $18 gate valve replaced so that we would not leak out the $60 hydraulic fluids onto the ground as we cut the banks. We had addressed this problem within the week of the inspection. Also note that the outside slopes of the lagoon had been kept cut prior to the inspection with a rear mount bush hog. Item 3: Amended WUP to 100# / acre PAN for winter application - On this matter, Mr. Paul and I both could not find the supplemental plan in my file box. So 1 proceeded checking all of my recorded locations to see if the plan had been misplaced. After no success looking elsewhere. I proceeded directly to the Sampson County Agriculture office for their assistance in the amended plan. Knowing that we had in the past we had already addressed the 1001b./acre rates for the appropriate farms under my direction we looked through their files first before rewriting another plan. Without success we proceeded on the amendment. Matthew Barefoot took time out of his busy schedule to address this issue as soon as I showed him your letter. He said on our first visit weeks prior to receiving the letter that if a letter came from Paul that they would then write the amended plan and he did so as he said promptly. Closing: 1 apologize for any inconvenience that my shortcomings may have caused you. I am currently trying to address these issues ASAP to try to keep my farms in good working order. Thank you for pointing out the areas that need improvement on my farms. Sincerely, Jimmy D.
