RECEIVED
JUL 13 M
a 1p-FAYEMILLEiiEG� ONALOWE
Dear Mr. Barnhardt:
This letter is the follow up to the letter Murphy Brown LLC, Kenansville Division sent to the
Division of Water Quality on June 3, 2005, which outlined a plan of corrective action. Secondly, this
letter is in response to a letter received from the Division of Water Quality dated June 6,2005.
The plan submitted on 613105 to correct the problems identified from this accidental
discharge is as follows:
1) The 12 -hour countdown timer will have a secure cover over it to prevent unauthorized
individuals from starting the system. We will add an operational indicator light that
remains on when the system is operating to add visibility to the system for earlier
detection.
2) Install an 8-4nch discharge pipe made of schedule 40 PVC that matches the size of the
knife gate and eliminates the reducer with the seal that failed. This action will be
completed in the next week.
The work outlined within the June 3'd letter has been completed. The PVC pipe was
installed as outlined in the letter. After several heavy rainfall events some additional work was
done to ensure performance of the system.
On June 8,2005 as part of our EMS training a review of operation and maintenance of
secondary containment structures was done with all complex managers in the Kenansville
Division. This action was not outlined in our initial response but was deemed appropriate to
our EMS program.
In response to the letter of NOVINOI sent from the Division dated June 6,2005, 1 would
submit that the tributary of Mill Swamp is not a blue line stream and the accidental discharge
did not reach Mill Swamp. The discharge was contained and completely recovered.
I believe that I have answered for our proposed POA and the request from the Division of
Water Quality.
I feel that Murphy -Brown LLC Kenansville Division has responded in an appropriate and
responsible manner to the requirements of our permit. If I can be of any further assistance,
please contact me.

Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director
Division of Water Quality
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.
Violation 1: Discharge of waste that reached surface waters (Permit No. AWS820340 Section 1.1.)
On May 31, 2005, a clog in the flush system caused the discharge of waste from one of the houses. The waste
flowed to a containment basin, but a faulty seal at the basin's knife -gate valve allowed the further release of waste.
The waste traveled approximately 100 feet and reached surface waters, an unnamed tributary of Mill Swamp_
From the point of entry, the tributary flows approximately 1250 feet to its confluence with Mill Swamp.
Required Corrective Action for Violation 1:
Complete the proposed actions outlined in your letter, dated June 3, 2005, and make any operation and
maintenance enhancements to minimize the chances of another such violation.
Please be advised that this notice does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking enforcement actions
for this violation or any past or future violation. Furthermore, the Division of Water Quality has the authority to levy
a civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00 per day per violation_
If you do not believe that enforcement is appropriate for this violation, please submit a detailed, written justification
of why you feel that this office should not proceed with a recommendation for enforcement. This office should
receive your response on or before June 27, 2005. Information submitted to this office will be reviewed and, if
enforcement is still deemed appropriate, will be forwarded to the Director with the enforcement package for his
consideration.

� RECE-IvFfl

ORR- A"1tER
OSCE
Dear Mr. Baxley:
This letter is the follow up to an accidental discharge on Farm 31111 reported to the Division
on May 31, 2005. The sequence of events on 5131105 is:
1) The farm manager found an on going discharge from the gestation building upon arrival to
work on the morning of May 31, 2005. The farm staff took immediate action to stop the
source of the flow and containment of the water on the ground. They also noted the LNM
complex to respond to the accidental discharge. The combined group effort focused on
total containment of the flow and notification of management.
2) The complex manager notified the LNM Specialist and LNM Manager. After a quick site
evaluation establishing what had occurred, all appropriate parties were notified. Initially,
there was no visual evidence that the flow went beyond established temporary
containment dams. The remediation efforts were immediately initiated, which included
containment beyond visible signs of the flow to ensure a thorough cleanup. An outside
contractor was brought in with a vacuum truck to assist in remediation in addition to our
own resources in pumping and hauling back to the lagoon.
3) Remediation was carried on througthout the day into the evening. Containment dams
were left in place over night to contain any additional seepage. On Wednesday, June 1,
2005 the additional water that had accumulated over night was pumped up and put in the
lagoon.
4) With the help of Murphy Brown LLC Technical Services and Compliance Department, it
was determined that containment occurred prior to entering a blue lined stream. See map
provided.
5) Root Cause: A clogged discharge line from the gestation building caused water to back
up in the house and exit the building.
What is known about the time leading up to finding the accidental discharge:
1) Secondary containment had been holding runoff from rain events.
2) Farm did not run the recycle system on 5130105.
3) Farm personnel left farm from 1:00 PM or shortly after on 5130105. Manager checked
recycle pump as he was leaving the farm site. The count down timer was in the off position
and the recycle pump was not running.

• Page 2
Assumptions:
June 3, 2005
1) Discharge line plugged sometime on Sunday, May 29, 2005. This could mean up to 48 hrs
of water usage by the animals could have impacted the pit holding capacity.
2) Sometime around 8:00 PM, someone started the recycle system. The timer (12 hr.) had
approximately 2 hours or slightly less left to run when the farm manager shut off the
system on 5130105.
Estimate of the discharge:
A) Fresh water usage by the animals in the gestation building based on seasonal
adjusted water usage goal and actual percent usage for the past 4 weeks: 16,177
gallons (8.56 gaVhd/day x 900 hd. X 104.6% of goal x 2 days). This is assuming
that all water went through the animals into the pit and nothing was lost to
evaporation and respiration.
B) Water going into the pit from the recycle system: 67,200 gallons (4 flush tanks x
800 gallons / tank x 2 flushes / hr./tank x 10.5 hrs). This volume represents half of
the flow of the recycle system since the breeding barn also has 4 flush tanks with
mercury floats.
C) The gestation building is a deep pit flush building that can hold: 81,188 gallons
(length 335 ft x max. depth 2.7 ft x width 24 ft x (triangle area) 0.5 x 7.48 gaVcu ft)
D) Estimated water lost from the building: 2,189 gallons (83,377 gallons into the pit —
81,188 gallons pit capacity) The estimated amount that escaped the secondary
containment was 300 gallons or less. Most of the water was recovered from the
building yard (low areas and waterways) and the secondary containment.
The secondary containment did slow down and contained the discharge. The reason
100% containment of the discharge was not achieved was due to the failure of a gasket type
seal used to connect the knife gate to the discharge pipe. Though not achieving the desired
effect, the secondary containment structure did lessen the impact of the event versus not
having a structure in place at all.
The lagoon level on 5/31/05 was 43 inches. The last lagoon level reading was 39
inches taken on 5/27105. There were pumping events after the reading on 5/27/05 and
5128/05 that totaled 339,750 gallons that would have dropped the lagoon level roughly 3.53
inches. The staff gauge reading would have been 42.5 inches prior to the recycle pump filling
the building. By the staff gauge reading, the lagoon level drop would have been roughly
48,000 gallons. All readings on the staff gauge are visual, but would tend to back up the
assumption on how much water was pumped into the pit (variance would be 1/5h of an inch
on the staff gauge).
Remediation efforts past the secondary containment involved the recovery of 14,000
gallons by the contractor with a vacuum truck and 12,000 gallons with company equipment.
All water was hauled back to the lagoon. The 26,000 gallons represent the 300 gallons lost
from the secondary containment, fresh water found in pockets from previous rain events, and
water used to flush the remnants of the flow to a final collection point.
The plan to correct the problems identified from this accidental discharge are to:
1) The 12 -hour countdown timer will have a secure cover over it to prevent unauthorized
individuals from starting the system. Adding an operational indicator light that remains on
when the system is operating to add visibility to the system for earlier detection.

• Page 3 June 3, 2005
2) Install an 8 -inch discharge pipe made of schedule 40 PVC that matches the size of the
knife gate and eliminates the reducer with the seal that failed. This action will be
completed in the next week.
Included with this letter is a copy of the most current waste analysis as required by the
permit.
I have outlined what information I have available as they relate to this accidental
discharge. I feel that Murphy -Brown LLC Kenansville Division has responded in an
appropriate and responsible manner to the conditions of the permit.
The Environmental Management System (EMS) proved its' effectiveness by providing
the structure and protocol that all parties involved in the response, did so in a timely and
effective manner.
If I can be of any further assistance, please feel free to contact me.

Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than
30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
1 of 8

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

Mr. Paul Rawls,
MAY 22002
Brown's of Carolina Farm 3111 reported an accidental wastewater discharge
on March 24, 2002, resulting in wastewater entering an unnamed tributary of Mill
Swamp. A report of this incident was sent to the Division of Water Quality on March
25, 2002 (see attached copy).
A root cause analysis of this incident revealed the following information: 1) the
farm manager noticed reduced flow of recycled water going into the flush tanks, 2)
this information was reported to our maintenance department, 3) the maintenance
department investigated and determined that some of the plumbing appeared to
have a salt buildup inside the lines, 4) the maintenance department conducted de-
salting of the lines on March 20, 21, and 23, 5) during the days prior to the de -salting
operation and during the period of reduced flow to the tanks and building there was
some accumulation of solids below the slats, 6) once the lines had been de -salted
normal flow of water returned, 7) accumulated solids were broken loose by returned
water flow and this material was the apparent source of obstruction, and ultimately
the discharge, 8) once this material was discovered and removed the system
returned to normal operating mode.
The corrective actions taken in this instance should prevent reoccurrence
of this unfortunate event.
A work order was submitted on March 25, 2002 to Murphy -Brown LLC
engineering and heavy equipment department to design and install permanent
secondary containment basins for the surface water discharge lines. The
containment basins will be installed on or before April 30, 2002.
Immediately after the spill event, temporary containment dams were
placed with the last one being ahead of the wastewater flow in the branch. If any

wastewater escaped, it would be due to seepage and not a direct flow.
Laboratory analysis of the samples Brown's of Carolina took, immediately after
the event, at the upstream sample, of the source, of the midstream and the
downstream sample indicate that the accidental discharge was contained (see
attached copy; dated April 8, 2002).
To the best of our knowledge, Brown's of Carolina has complied with all of
the provisions of our permit for Farm 3111. The response, remediation, root
cause analysis, and appropriate correct action is a testament to the effectiveness
of our Environmental Management System. If I can be of any further help,

Re: Accidental discharge on 3/2412002
BOC Farm 3111
Facility # 82-340
Sampson County
Mr. Bob Heath,
Brown's of Carolina Farm 3111 had an accidental wastewater discharge on
March 24, 2002, resulting in wastewater entering an unnamed tributary of Mill
Swamp. This spill was caused by a clogged discharge line leading from the
gestation building.
The recycle pump timer is set to run from 6:15 am to 5 pm. The farm
manager found a discharge occurring at 7:00 am on her farm inspection. She
immediately stopped the recycle pump and initiated containment. She followed EMS
protocol and began notifying responsible parties to begin immediate remediation and
proper notification.
From the time the recycle pump started until the pump was shut off,
approximately 1800 gallons was dumped into the house. How much was
contained by the house could not be determined. A significant portion was
contained between the houses on site and pumped into another discharge line.
Approximately 600 gallons escaped into a surface drain that helped facilitate the
flow into the tributary of Mill Swamp.
The tributary was dammed at 3 pants to contain the wastewater and fresh
water. A fourth dam was established upstream to help minimize the addition of
fresh water to the contained spill. Approximately 133,080 gallons was contained
and either pumped or hauled by tank to the lagoon. Work was not stopped until
the maximum amount of remediation possible was accomplished after
remediation had been completed and temporary dams were removed.
Murphy Brown LLC engineering & heavy equipment departments have
been given a work order to design and install containment basins on this site for
the surface water discharge lines. This work will take place in the near future.

Re: Accidental discharge on 3/24/2002
BOC Farm 3111
Facility # 82-340
Sampson County
Mr. Bob Heath,
[AM 20
Brown's of Carolina Farm 3111 had an accidental wastewater discharge on
March 24, 2002, resulting in wastewater entering an unnamed tributary of Mill
Swamp. This spill was caused by a dogged discharge line leading from the
gestation building.
The recycle pump timer is set to run from 6:15 am to 5 pm. The farm
manager found a discharge occurring at 7:00 am on her farm inspection. She
immediately stopped the recycle pump and initiated containment. She followed EMS
protocol and began notifying responsible parties to begin immediate remediation and
proper notification.
From the time the recycle pump started until the pump was shut off,
approximately 1800 gallons was dumped into the house. How much was
contained by the house could not be determined. A significant portion was
contained between the houses on site and pumped into another discharge line.
Approximately 600 gallons escaped into a surface drain that helped facilitate the
flow into the tributary of Mill Swamp.
The tributary was dammed at 3 points to contain the wastewater and fresh
water. A fourth dam was established upstream to help minimize the addition of
fresh water to the contained spill. Approximately 133,080 gallons was contained
and either pumped or hauled by tank to the lagoon. Work was not stopped until
the maximum amount of remediation possible was accomplished after
remediation had been completed and temporary dams were removed.
Murphy Brown LLC engineering & heavy equipment departments have
been given a work order to design and install containment basins on this site for
the surface water discharge lines. This work will take place in the near future.

Permit No. AWS820340
Sampson County
Dear Mr. Nordin:
William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary
Gregory J. Thorpe, Ph.D.
Acting Director
Division of Water Quality
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 March 24, 2002, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality performed an inspection of BOC Farm 3111 in Sampson County as a result of a reported
accidental discharge. The inspection revealed that the spill occurred due to a clogged discharge
line from the gestation building resulting in approximately 600 gallons more or less entering the
surface water drainage system. The surface water drainage system discharged into the woods
approximately 100 feet from a tributary of Mill Swamp (Class C Sw waters). The stream was
dammed in several locations and approximately 133,000 gallons was pumped back into the
lagoon. An unknown volume of wastewater flowed beyond the tempory containment dams prior
to their construction.
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following item(s) be addressed:
1. Implement the proposed construction of the containment basins to prevent future
discharges of this nature.

RE: Notice of Deficiency, Brown's of Carolina 3111, Facility #82-340
Dear Paul,
I am responding to the NOD resulting from the referral, from the Division of Soil and Water Conservation
dated July 12, 2001. The three issues are:
Avoid over application of nitrogen either agronomically or hydraulically.
• The Irr. 2 showed an acreage that was incorrect. The Irr. 2 showed 2.11 acres and
the irrigation map and WUP. Indicated 7.59 acres. (see enclosed corrected Irr. 2).
2. Over application shall be reported to the Division of Water Quality as required by the
General Permit.
The records used by the OIC's had not shown an over application. The lagoon
analysis was not properly utilized (i.e.: 60 days before or after a sample date) and
when I backed the analysis into the system the over application was verified. The
checks against WUP and records were on going when the inspection occurred.
3. The soil sample shall be taken in a timely manner every 12 months.
• The soil sample was last taken November 23, 1999 for the 2000 crop year. The
problem has been addressed. (please see attached soil sample analysis).
It is our intent to follow conditions of our General Permit and Waste Utilization plan. I would be happy to
provide any further information or answer questions (910) 296-18W ext. 217.

Permit.
On June I9, 2001,, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Sol] and Water performed an
operation review of Farm #13 in Sampson County. The inspection revealed that the PAN rate for wheat had been
exceeded by 2, 13, and 14 pounds, per the CAWMP for this facility, on pulls #8, 7, and 6, respectively. Also
noted during this inspection was a hydraulic overapplication on pull #4 where 1.34 inches/acre was applied. This
is a violation of the General Permit issued to this facility under Section 11., Operation and Maintenance
Requirements, Number 4., which states: "Land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no
case shall land application rates exceed the Plant Available Nitrogen rate for the receiving crop or result in runoff
during any given application." This inspection also revealed that the last soil test for this farm was taken in 1999.
Th,e Division of Water Quality requests that the following item(s) be addressed:
1. Avoid overapplication of nitrogen either agronomically or hydraulically.
2. Overapplication shall be reported to the Division of Water Quality as required by the General Permit.
3. Soil samples shall be taken in a timely manner every 12 months.
Failure to comply with the above conditions may result in the facility losing its General Permit and being

This letter is to notify DWQ of the discharge that occurred at BOC # 11, facility # 82-340 on
Monday, December 19, 2000 around 8:00 AM.
This discharge occurred at a broken recycle line that supplies wastewater to a flush tank near the
farrowing building. When the recycle pump started Monday morning, it pumped wastewater onto
the ground instead of into the tank. The wastewater made its way to a nearby surface water drain
that empties near the edge of the field beside the lagoon. From this point, the wastewater flowed
into a low wooded area and eventually made its way into a small (1-2' wide) intermittent ditch
that leads to Mill Swamp. The pump started around 6:00 AM and the farm manager found the
leak around 8:30 AM and immediately shut down the pump. It is estimated that approximately
900 gallons of wastewater was discharged onto the ground at the tank. It is estimated that
approximately half this amount may have entered the ditch. This is based on the distance from
the drain outlet to the ditch and the low wooded area that the wastewater had to cross before it
could enter the ditch.
As required by Brown's of Carolina, Inc. operating procedures, once the pump was shut down,
recovery efforts were started. Brown's of Carolina, Inc. staff worked to contain the wastewater
on site by placing earthen dams in the ditch. The dams were placed on either side of the tile
under the farm path. Once the wastewater was contained, pumps were used to pump the
wastewater and the existing freshwater out of the ditch and into an adjacent spray field. Water
was pumped until the remaining water in the ditch appeared clear. DWQ was notified around
noon and again around 4:00 PM Monday afternoon. The recovery of this wastewater was
difficult as the wastewater mixed with the existing freshwater in the ditch. The dams were
removed from the ditch around 9:00 AM Tuesday.
It is believed that the strong whipping winds on Sunday contributed to the recycle line breaking.
To ensure that this problem does not recur, the broken line was replaced with a new line. Also,
additional supports were installed to aid in holding the line in place so that any movement is
minimized.

It is unfortunate that this incident occurred; however everything possible to contain and recover
the wastewater was done, thus minimizing any potential impact to the environment. With this in
mind, much consideration is warranted prior to the issuance of a Notice.

On February 8, 1999, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the
Division of Water Quality inspected the Browns of Carolina # I 1 Company
swine facility. It was observed that the lagoon freeboard was less than the

required minimum according to the lagoon level indicator and that the
backslope of the lagoon dike needed a suitable cover grass established to
control erosion. In regard to the deficiencies noted during the inspection,
the following actions are requested:
