This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessed against Stan Bowles in the amount of $4750.00, and
$865.01 in investigative costs, for a total of $5615.01. Attached is a copy of the assessment document
explaining this penalty.
This action was taken under the authority vested in me by delegation provided by the Secretary of the

action, including an additional penalty.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environmental Quality (do not
include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement action for any

2. Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below, as
they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is
not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the
factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request
forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your
right to an-,4dministrative'hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in
dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In determining
whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b) were
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the violator;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator has been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial
actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in
writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you
of their decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding
the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee).
Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original
remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a
complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of Civil
Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30)
days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Resources also requests that you complete and submit
the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should be submitted to the following

FINDING AND DECISION
AND ASSESSMENT OF
CIVIL PENALTIES
Acting pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environmental Quality
and the Director of the Division of Water Resources (DWR), I, Jon Risgaard, Chief of the Water Quality
Regional Operations Section of the DWR, make the following:
I. FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. Stan Bowles owns and operates Bowles & Sons Farm Inc Farm 2, a permitted swine operation
in Duplin County.
B. Stan Bowles was issued Certificate of Coverage AWS310152 by the Division of Water
Resources, under General Permit AWG 100000 for Bowles & Sons Farm Inc Farm 2 on
October 1, 2014, effective upon issuance, with an expiration date of September 30, 2019.
C. G.S. 143-215.1(a) states that "No person shall do the following things or carry out any of the
following activities unless that person has received a permit from the Commission and has
complied with all conditions set forth in the permit: make any outlets into the waters of the
State".
D. Condition No. 1. 1, of General Permit AWG 100000 states in part that "Any discharge of waste
which reaches surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as otherwise provided in this
General Permit and associated statutory and regulatory provisions. Waste shall not reach
surface waters or wetlands by runoff, drift manmade conveyance, direct application, and direct
discharge or through ditches not otherwise classified as State waters,"
E. Condition No. III. 13.a of General Permit AWG100000 states in part that "the Permittee shall
report by telephone to the appropriate Division Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no
case more than twenty-four (24) hours following first knowledge of the occurrence of the
following event: Any discharge to ditches, surface waters or wetlands."
F. On June 29, 2015, DWR staff from the Wilmington Regional Office (WIRO) received a
complaint regarding animal waste discharge at Bowles & Sons Farm Inc Farm 2. Staff from
WIRO inspected the farm and found that a discharge of approximately 5,000 gallons of animal
waste into an unnamed tributary to Stocking Head Creek. The unnamed tributary is Class C,
Sw waters of the State within the Cape Fear River Basin. DWR staff confirmed that animal

waste reached the unnamed tributary directly south of the hog houses and bordering irrigation
fields, which led directly to Stocking Head Creek. The discharge occurred as a result of a hog
house pit that had been stopped up, creating a discharge.
G. DWR staff from the WLRO had not received any notification of the discharge prior to the June
. 29, 2015 inspection.
H. Stan Bowles had no valid permit for the above -described activity.
On August 17, 2015, the Division issued a Notice of Violation/Notice of Intent to Enforce
(NOVINOI) to Stan Bowles identifying violations of N.C.G.S. 143-215.1 and General Permit
No. AWG100000.
J. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $865.01
Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following:
Il. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
A. Stan Bowles is a "person" within the meaning of N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A pursuant to N.C.G.S.
143-212(4).
B. Unnamed tributary to Stocking Head Creek constitutes waters of the State within the meaning
of N.C.G.S. 143-215.1 pursuant to G.S. 143-212(6).
C. A permit to operate an animal waste management system is required by N.C.G.S. 143-215.1.
D. The above -cited discharge constituted making an outlet to waters of the State for purposes of
N.C.G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1), for which N.C.G.S. 143-215.1 requires a permit. The discharge also
violated Condition I.1 of General Permit AWG100000.
E. The above -cited failure to provide notification to the regional office violated Condition No.
I11.13.a of the General Permit AWG100000.
F. N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2) provides that a civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00 may be
assessed against a person who fails to apply for or to secure a permit required by N.C.G.S.
143-215.1, or who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or
requirements of a permit required by N.C.G.S. 143-215.L
G. N.C.G.S. 143-215.3(a)(9) and N.C.G.S. 143B-282.1(b)(8) provides that the reasonable costs
of any investigation, inspection or monitoring survey may be assessed against a person who
violates any regulations; standards, or limitations adopted by the Environmental Management
Commission or violates any terms or conditions of any permit issued pursuant to N.C.G.S.
143-215.1, or special order or other document issued pursuant to N.C.G.S. 143-215.2.
H. The Chief of the Water Quality Regional Operations Section, Division of Water Resources,
pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environmental Quality
and the Director of the Division of Water Resources, has the authority to assess civil penalties
in this matter.

Based upon the above Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, I make the following:

These Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Decision shall be transmitted to Stan Bowles, in
accordance with N.C.G.S. 143-215.6(A)(d).

CIVIL PENALTY ASSESSMENT FACTORS
Violator: Stan Bowles
County: D_ uplin
Case Number: DV-2015-0039
Permit Number: AWS310152
ASSESSMENT FACTORS
1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation;
The extent of harm cannot be easily determined. Typically waste discharge into a receiving stream is
found to have very high levels of pathogens as indicated by fecal coliform bacteria. In addition, high
levels of ammonia, nutrients and other organic matter which can lead to the depletion of dissolved
oxygen. An estimated 5,000 gallons of animal waste discharged to surface waters.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
The approximate time it would have taken the recycle pump to discharge the estimated 5000 gallons.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
An estimated 5, 000 gallons of animal waste discharged to surface waters. The effects to groundwater and
air were not determined. There is potential for eutrophication to occur and affect the environment and
disrupt natural ecosystem.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost to rectify cannot be easily determined. Typical waste discharge into a receiving stream is found
to have very high levels ofpathogens (i.e. Fecal Coliform bacteria), ammonia and nutrients. Damage to
aquatic life, ecosystem and downstream surface water users is unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved is not known. Items to consider: Time clocks installed totaling $125.00.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
The discharge seem to not be intentional. In the response sent by a representative, for Stan Bowles, they
discovered a stopped up pit, in which it overflowed and ran under the back door and out of the hog house,
which resulted in a discharge.
7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the
Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority;
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.

I am writing this letter for Tres Bowles response to an inspection by John Farnell dated
6/29/201 S. This inspection war. conducted because of a complaint about a possible discharge
unknown to me until advised by Mr. FarnelI. The following comments are what is known by the
grower and the steps taken to prevent any further occurrence.
A. There aro 3 full time employees at Bowles and Sons Farms 11 Facili --15
Dobson Chapel Rd. Magnolia, NC. On June 29" alter DWQ left our act ity, tray
omployees and 1 invcatigated the problem to further discover that there waa a hog house
pit that had been stopped up, therefore creating a discharge. The discharge backed up
into the hog house and ran out underneath the back door of the hog -house. There is a
waterway approximately 20 feet directly behind the hog house that the spillage ran into
and then follows approximately 100 feet into a ditch, from this ditch it flows into
another ditch about 60 yards away. This ditch leads into Stocking Head Creek.
B. As part of our farms regular maintenance and routine on Sundays we do AM and PM
checks of inside the houses and flush pits. On Sunday, Junc 28' at approximately 4
PM, these checks were made and everything waa normal, there were no issues.
C. between 4 PM June 2P and lunch time June 20'11 there was a back up in the pit
creating a spillage.
D. To prevent reoccurrence the grower has: From June 29" to July I' the, breaker that
Affects the recycle pump has been rut off every time we leave the farm, On July 21Ld,
time clocks will be installed in order to prevent the recycle pumps from running when
employees are not present on the farms. This will be donc on ALL our farms. Also, a
secondary holding Station will be ingtalled at this site that would catch any
unforeseeable spillage prior to entering any ditchcs. Sincc this event, we have made it
mandatory that employees check all pits each day prior to leaving the farm.
E. A waste analysis has been taken and submitted to Envirochem for analysis. The results
will be provided to your office upon complction.
If there are any further questions or concerns, please feel free to call me at (910) 293

I am writing this letter for Tres Bowles response to an inspection by John Farnell dated
6/24/201 S. This inspection waF conducted be"ure of a complaint about a po"ible discharge -
unknown to me until advised by Mr. Farnell. The following comments are what is known by the
grower and the steps taken to prevent any further occurrence.
A. There aro 3 full time employees at Bowles and Sons Farms 11 Facility 31-152, on
Dobson Chapel Rd. Magnolia, NC. Ou June 29" alter DWQ left our facility, my
omployees and I inveatigawd the problem to further discover that there was a hog house
pit that had been stopped up, therefore creating a discharge. The discharge backed up
into the hog house and ran out underneath the back door of the hog -house. There is a
waterway approximately 20 feet directly behind the hog house that the spillage ran into
and then follows approximately 100 feet into a ditch. From this ditch it flows into
another ditch about 60 yards away. This ditch, leads into Stocking Head Creek.
8. As part of our farms regular maintenance and routine on Sundays we do AM and PM
checks of inside the houses and flush pits. On Sunday, Juna 28' at approximately 4
PM, these cheoks were made and everything was normal, there were no issues.
C. 13etween 4 PM June 22"1 and lunch time June 20'I'there wag a (sack up in the pit
creating a spillage.
D. To prevent reoccurrence the ga-ower has: From June 29" to July I' the breaker that
aff+ = the recycle pump has been cut off every time we leave the farm, On July 2"s,
time clocks will be Installed in order to prevent the recycle pumps from running when
employees are not present on the farms. This will be done on ALL our farms. Also, a
secondary holding station will be in5tailed at this site that would catch any
unforeseeable spillage prior to entering arty ditches. Since this event, we have made it
mandatory that employees check all pits each day prior to leaving the farm.
L A waste analysis has been taken and submitted to Evivirochem for analysis. The results
will be providedto your office upon completion.
If therc arc any further quostions or concems, please feel free to call me. at (910) 293

Mrs. Lawson,
l am writing this letter for Tres Bowles response to an inspection by John Farrell dated
6/29/2015. This inspection was conducted because of a complaint about a possible discharge
unknown to me until advised by Mr. Farrell. The following comments are what is known by the
grower and the steps taken to prevent any further occurrence.
A. There are 3 full time employees at Bowles and Sons Farms II Facility 31-152, on
Dobson Chapel Rd. Magnolia, NC. On June 291s after DWQ left our facility, my
employees and I investigated the problem to further discover that there was a hog house
pit that had been stopped up, therefore creating a discharge. The discharge backed up
into the hog house and ran out underneath the back door of the hog house. There is a
waterway approximately 20 feet directly behind the hog house that the spillage ran into
and then follows approximately 100 feet into a ditch. From this ditch it flows into
another ditch about 60 yards away. This ditch leads into Stocking Head Creek.
B. As part of our farms regular maintenance and routine on Sundays we do AM and PM
checks of inside the houses and flush pits. On Sunday, June 28" at approximately 4
PM, these checks were made and everything was normal, there were no issues.
C. Between 4 PM June 281' and lunch time June 20 there was a backup in the pit creating
a spillage.
D. To prevent reoccurrence the grower has: From June 291s to July I n the breaker that
affects the recycle pump has been cut off every time we leave the faun. On July Zed,
time clocks will be installed in order to prevent the recycle pumps from running when
employees are not present on the farms. This will be done on ALL our farms. Also, a
secondary holding station will be installed at this site that would catch any
unforeseeable spillage prior to entering any ditches. Since this event, we have made it
mandatory that employees check all pits each day prior to leaving the farm.
E. A waste analysis has been taken and submitted to Envirochem for analysis. The results
will be provided to your office upon completion.
If there are any further questions or concerns, please feel free to call me at (910) 293
5334.
Sincerely,
Toni W. King

The waste from your,animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface 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 stFogly encourage --"hat all
plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
APR 0 6 11JU9
Several factors are important in implementing your waste ublizatTgWplan=ire=order to-niaximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe
manner. 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. Soil types
important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange
capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land
eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be
applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. 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 DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be
considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for
crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a
growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the
waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for
this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the tab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate
equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner

applied, they must be accounted for. N must be based on realistic yield Wectation.
NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N
requirements. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in some
eastern counties of North Caroline to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients.
This plan only addresses Nitrogen.

Narrative of operation:
Acres shown are wetted acres. PAN generation figures based on actual records from 1998-2000.
An accounting of these records is included as a part of this plan.
Wetted acres revised in April 2003 to include a center pivot in field 1A rather than reel pulls.
An additional field has been added under a pumping agreement with an adjacent landowner.
This field will be Wetted' using an aerway applicator, with all application being made pre -plant.
Any of the crops listed may be used for applications.
SB515 setbacks apply to this newly added field. These include: 75' from property line, 100'
from well, 200' from residence not under ownership, and 75' from public right_of way.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2 - There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to property dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of
an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the
use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to
secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation,
increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop
yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level
of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste
may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per
year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the Meld. (See FOTG
Standard 393 - Filter Strip).
5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated
on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland,
the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season
prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen_
Page 5

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage
from animal waste should also be considered.
10 Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a
high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste
shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking
dormancy.
11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal
waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be
applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist".
Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a
manner that courses no runoff or drift from the site.
16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to
protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc.,
are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed
and accessible. Berms and structures should ' be inspected regularly for evidence of
erosion, leakage or discharge.
18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan' which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19 Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on site.
20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct
human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications animal waste
during the crop season.
21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be
managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to
mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually
at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites
shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five years. Poultry dry_ waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
23
Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Dear Sir or Madam:
On March 21, 2003, a representative of your animal operation informed the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) that there was inadequate freeboard in the lagoon(s) serving this facility.
This lack of adequate freeboard is in non-compliance with the Certificate of Coverage
issued to this facility on July 7, 1997. In addition to this Notice of Violation (NOV), this non-
compliance is subject to an appropriate enforcement action by DWQ. This action can consist of
one or more of the following. a civil or criminal enforcement action; an injunction; and/or a
requirement to apply for coverage under an individual permit. The action chosen will be based
on complete evaluation of all factors that resulted in the inadequate freeboard; the actions taken
to restore the needed freeboard; and the actions being proposed to prevent the problem from
reoccurring.
To assist us in our review, please provide the Wilmington Regional Office with an
evaluation of the reasons for the freeboard violation(s) and a strategy to prevent future freeboard
violation(s). This evaluation and strategy must include but is not limited to the following:
Current Freeboard level(s)
Freeboard level records in the lagoon(s) for the past 12 months up to the date of submittal
Spraying records for the past 12 months up to the date of submittal

Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Bowles & Sons Farm Inc Farm 2
Facility Number 31-152
Duplin County
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Dean Hunkele on 1 1/15/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your
facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of
the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X".
Category 1:
The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Dean Hunkele the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Dean Hunkele, at 127 Cardinal Drive
Extension, Wilmington, NC 28404, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have
any questions please contact Dean Hunkele at [phone]. If within 90 days you are
unable to provide Dean Hunkele with the information you are automatically required
to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within
180 days of receipt of this letter.

Category 2:
❑ Your facility has been identified by th a Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that may have overestirnated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Nlanagerrient'Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact.a designated Technical Specialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification mast be returned to DWQ within the next
180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination docurnentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by -
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-152
Duplin County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRYS, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571.

AFFILIATION: DWQ-WQS
ABSTRACT OF INVESTIGATION:
I went with Mr. Wrenn to the subject site for the purposes of collecting a shallow groundwater sample immediately
downgradient of a seep that was occurring just downgradient of a hog lagoon (on Mr. Stan Bowles farm) on Mr.
Brown's farm property. There was some concern that the seep might be originating from a suspected underdrain that
exists beneath the lagoon and ground surface and possibly extends onto Mr. Brown's property. The water seep
breaks out and runs by surface drainage for approximately 100 yards and collects in a muddy depression which Mr.
Brown's free range cattle utilize. Downgradient from the depression is a stream.
I installed the hand augered boring and constructed the piezometer as illustrated on the attached drawing. After the
well appeared reasonably stabilized, I collected a groundwater measurement. I then removed three volumes of water
from the piezometer (approximately 1.3 gallons) with a clean disposable bailer. Groundwater samples were collected
at 14:20 and included pH and'fecal coliform (which were analyzed by EnviroChem, Inc.), and TKN, Total P, NH3,
N031 NO2, silica, specific conductance, TDS, sulfate, and some specific metals (K, Zn, Cu, Na, Fe). The samples
were all placed on ice immediately after sample collection and preserved, as required, by laboratory methods. The
samples which were not analyzed by EnviroChem, Inc. were kept under ice and chain of custody seal until their
shipment to the State's DWQ Chemistry Laboratory on 1/11/99. None of the holding times were exceeded.
The installation area is a cattle field but the piezometer was placed in an area that appeared less frequented by the
cattle and was free of excrement at the ground surface. The piezometer location was roughly 3 feet down gradient of
the seep and 82 feet from the fence line that divides Mr. Brown's cattle field from Mr. Bowles property and hog
waste lagoon. After sampling, the piezometer was abandoned with dry bentorute chips and sand (hydrated with
distilled water). All materials used to install the piezometer and collect samples were removed from the site upon
completion of site activities.

Permit #: AWS310152
File No. DV 97-015
This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessed against Stan Bowles in the amount
of $4,758.24 including $758.24 in investigative costs.
Attached is a copy of the assessment document explaining this penalty. This action was
taken under the authority vested in me by delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department
of Environment and Natural Resources. Any continuing violation(s) may be the subject of a new
enforcement action, including an additional penalty.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of
Environment, and Natural Resources (do not include waiver farm).
Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement action for
any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:

2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a
detailed justification for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the
reasonableness of the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure
for contesting the accuracy of any of the statements contained in the
assessment letter. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an
administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of
your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation that there are no
factual or legal issues in dispute. You must execute and return to this
office the attached waiver and stipulation form and a detailed statement
which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-
282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the
petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage
resulting from the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous
violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the
remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:

factual or legal issues in dispute. You must execute and return to this
office the attached waiver and stipulation form and a detailed statement
which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-
282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the
petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage
resulting from the violation;

Dear Mr. Bowles:
On July 28, 1998, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was observed
that matua is planted in a spray field designated for Bermuda by the Certified Animal Waste
Management Plan (CAWMP).
The CAWMP should be revised to include the crops presently in the spray field, or the
appropriate crop should be planted in the spray field to reflect the current CAWMP. In addition,
bare areas on the dike wall of lagoon #2 should be re -vegetated. The spray records should be kept
by the spray pull number and the field number, using the correct wetted acreage for each pull
when calculating the nitrogen balances. We suggest that you contact your service company, local
NRCS or Soil and Water District office for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct
the situation.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, you must notify this office in writing within
fourteen (14) days of the receipt of this notice, what actions will be taken to comply with your waste
management plan. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status,
requiring it to obtain an individual non discharge permit.

- - - ENFORCEMENT -CASE -ASSESSMENT FACTORS -
Type: (DV)
Violator: Stan Bowles Farms
Address: 607 Curtis Road
Warsaw, North Carolina 28398
Regional Office: Wilmington
1. The degree and extent -of harm to the natural resources
of the State, to the public health, or to private
property resulting from the violation:
In stream samples taken from the unnamed tributary of
Stockinghead Creek and the adjoining property displayed
fecal coliform bacteria levels of up to 100,000
colonies per 100 ml. This represents levels greater
than 500 times the assigned stream standard. Levels of
other constituents found were as follows:
Ammonia Nitrogen, NH3-N 511 mg/L
TKN 521 mg/L
NO3 + NO2 0.21 mg/L
Total P 88.5 mg/L
2. The duration and gravity of the violation:
The evidence indicates that the drain the was not
properly removed during the construction of the lagoon
structure three years ago. Wastewater was observed
ponding on the adjoining property some 75 yards from
the the outlet. The intervening wooded area was
thoroughly saturated with waste leading to an unnamed
tributary of Stockinghead Creek. Flow rate from the
the was estimated at 2.5 gallons per minute or 3,600
gallons per day. Due to the location of the tile
outlet, the Division cannot confirm that the discharge
was not occurring as early as the January 16, 1997
inspection.
3. The effect on ground or surface water quantity or
quality or on air quality:
The effects to groundwater and air were not documented.
Water quality was impacted as determined by water
quality analysis.

4.
5.
NP.
The cost of rectifying the damage:
-The- cost --to- rectify the- environmental damage 'eannot -be
easily estimated. Removal of the drain the may have
required several thousand dollars. The ponded waste on
adjacent property was left to naturally attenuate.
Stockinghead Creek is classified as "C-Swamp" waters of
the State. Animal waste discharged into a receiving
stream will degrade water quality due to very high
levels of pathogens (ie. fecal coliform bacteria),
ammonia, nutrients and other dissolved oxygen reducing
constituents.
. 0
The amount of money saved by noncompliance:
The amount of money saved by noncompliance is not
known. However, properly trenching the area prior to
the lagoon construction does require significant cost.
Whether the violation was committed willfully or
intentionally:
There is no indication that the drain the was
intentionally left in -situ during construction.
However, it would appear that the appropriate care was
not taken in assuring that all of the drain tile was
removed from the site prior to construction.
7. The prior record of the violator in complying or
failing to comply with programs over which the
Environmental Management Commission has regulatory
authority:
The Wilmington office has answered several complaints
involving this facility in the past two years. These
complaints ranged from strong odors to suspicion of
animal waste in a watercourse. Stan Bowles received a
Notice of Violation on December 18, 1996 due to over
application of animal waste.
8. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures:
The State's enforcement costs totaled $758.24, as
follows:
Staff
Holsinger, 12.0 hrs.
Wrenn, 3.0 hrs.
Mileage (126 miles@ $0.28 per mile)
Photography (film & Development)
Laboratory costs
Administrative costs
$261.36
$ 53.10
$ 35.28
$ 14.50
$294 . 00
$100.00

9. Type of violator and general nature of business (i.e.
-Individual vs. large corporation) -:-- Individual._ - -
10. Violators degree of cooperation (including efforts to
prevent or restore) or recalcitrance:
Upon the discovery of the discharge, Mr. Bowles
contacted Dr. Garth Boyd of Murphy Farms. Under advise
of the Division's inspector, Mr. Bowles dug a holding
pond adjacent to the tile outlet in order to limit
further discharge of wastewater. In addition, this
provided a collection basin for the wastewater to be
pumped back into the lagoon structure. Dr. Boyd
brought in equipment to remove the drain tile and
permanently cease the discharge. A cofferdam was
constructed inside the lagoon and the tile was removed
on October 11, 1997. Dr. Boyd contacted the
inspector to inform him of the progress made to that
point and confirm the termination of activities for the
day. On Monday October 13, 1997, Mr. Brian Wrenn
conducted a follow-up inspection to verify the
completion of the work and to provide any further
assistance needed. No effort was made to clean up the
waste ponded on the adjacent property due to the dense
vegetative cover of most of the area.
11. Mitigating Circumstances:
None.
12. Owner of property where the discharge occurred:
Stan Bowles Farms, Inc.
13. Pictures of violation:
Included (attached)

Dear Mr. Shiver:
In response to your certified letter #Z 312 6036 665 of October 31, 1997 issuing a notice of
violation, the following is the sequence of events that occurred beginning on Saturday, October
13, 1997:
1 1:45 AM Dave Holsinger and I observed a small amount of liquid bubbling out
from under a dense mat of vegetation in the tree line below the lagoon
of Stan Bowles Farm #2. Immediately called Garth Boyd at Murphy
Family Farms.
NOON Garth Boyd arrived and we bush -hogged the area to better identify the
source of the problem.
1:30 PM Several other MFF personnel, track hoe and pump arrived and within
ten (10) minutes a containment ditch was dug, which exposed the
plastic drain tile that had caused the problem. Pumping of the lagoon
effluent back into the lagoon began immediately.
2-4:OOPM Murphy Family Farms engineers and track hoe operator determined
the origination of drainage file under the lagoon by digging an obser-
vation ditch at several points toward the lagoon.
4:00 PM Tile found in base of lagoon near the wall. Tile dug out and area
back -filled with four (4) yards of concrete, special ordered from S U W
Concrete, Clinton, NC.
Discharge ceased and sealed.
5:00 PM Garth Boyd called Dave Holsinger at home and informed him of the
sequence of events and that the problem had been rectified.

Monday, October 13, 6:30 AM - 3:00 PM
Murphy Family Farms delivered seventeen (17) tandem dump truck
loads of approved clay (1.25 x 10-6 permeability rating). Each load
was packed in the hole with a MFF bulldozer. Entire disturbed area
was graded, disced, seeded and mulched. Brian Wrenn, DWQ inspects
repair efforts while in progress.
Mr. Shiver, I hope you can get a sense of how importantly and urgently we take environmental
issues associated with pig production. On a beautiful Saturday afternoon when people had other
plans, a significant emergency response team of ten (10) people and three (3) pieces of heavy
equipment were assembled and the problem was rectified within five (5) hours of learning of the
problem. From my observation, there was very minimal impact to Stocking Head Creek. Though I
have not yet received a bill from Murphy Family Farms for all the heavy equipment operation, it
will easily total in the thousands of dollars.
If you need further information or documentation, give me a call.
Sincerely,
Az��Stv��l
Stan Bowles

Dear Mr. Bowles -

E>EHIV R
You are hereby notified that Stan Bowies Farm, which has been deemed permitted to
have a nondischarge permit for an animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217,
has been found to be in violation of its 2H .0217 Permit.
On October 14, 1996, Staff from the Wilmington Office of the Division of Water
Quality inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. Ponding of waste
and evidence of recent runoff from the spray field was observed. Evidence indicates that a stalled
spray gun had eroded an area of the spray field resulting in runoff to Elder Creek a tributary of the
Northeast Cape Fear River. While no discharge of waste was observed to waters of the state at the
time of inspection, the incident is a violation of your certified waste management plan -
The Division of Water Quality will may proceed to revoke Stan Bowles Farm's permit
unless the following conditions are completed:
1. Immediately eliminate the discharge of wastewater and/or list actions to correct the noted
violation.
2. Make any modifications needed to ensure there will be no future discharges.

- Mr.. Stan.Bowles-
--Page 2 _ - - - - -- - - -- --- - —
To remain a deemed permitted facility, all corrective actions must be made within fourteen (14)
days. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status, requiring a new
certified waste management plan and certification form for the facility to be submitted, and/or being
required to obtain an individual non discharge permit for the facility.
Failure to comply with the above conditions will cause the existing animal waste management
system serving your animal operation to be Considered in operation without a permit as required by
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1.
Please be advised that this assessment does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking
enforcement actions for this violation or any past or future violations.
When the required corrective actions are complete, please notify this office in writing. If you
have any questions concerning this matter please do not hesitate to contact either Mr. David
Holsinger, of our Wilmington Office at (910)-395-3900 or Mr. Shannon Langley at [phone],

SUBJECT: Operation Review Notice of Referral
Bowles & Sons Farm Inc. Farm 2, Facility Number 31-152
Duplin County
Dear Mr. Bowles,
On November 3, 1997, an Operation Review was conducted of Bowies & Sons Farm
Inc. Farm 2, Facility Number 31-152, This Review, undertaken in accordance with G.S.
143-215.1 OD, is one of two visits scheduled for all registered livestock operations during
the 1997 calendar year.
During the Review, it was determined that the lagoon #1 liquid level exceeded the
maximum temporary storage level, with a combined 25 yeaN24 hour stone and
structural freeboard of.1.5 feet (18 inches). G.S. 143-215.10E requires me to notify
Division of Water Quality and the owner/operator of this observed violation.
It is imperative that you maintain the lagoon level such that adequate storage for a 25
year/24 hour storm event (7-8 inches) and structural integrity (12 inches) is available at
all times. As discussed during the Review, you have agreed to pump and land apply
the waste at agronomic rates as soon as weather and soil conditions permit.
I have enclosed a copy of the final report for this facility and for Farm 3, facility number
31-812. Please review both reports, particularly the comment section on pages 2 and 3
for additional comments, concerns and recommendations.
In order for your facility to be in compliance with environmental regulations, animal
waste cannot be discharged into the waters of the State, and the animal waste
collection, treatment, storage and disposal systems must be properly sized, maintained
and operated under the responsible charge of a certified operator.

Dear Mr. Bowles:
This letter is to notify you that the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality is
considering submittal of a recommendation for enforcement action to the Director of the Division of
Water Quality. The recommendation concerns the violation of Title 15A of the North Carolina
Administrative Code, Chapter 2, Subchapter 2H, Section .0217(d). On October 11, 1997, animal waste
was observed flowing from a drain tile located in the rear lagoon dike wall leading to the nearby tree line.
This resulted in a discharge of animal waste to adjacent property and to Stockinghead Creek, a tributary of
the Northeast Cape Fear River. This incident is a violation of your animal waste permit number:
AWS310152.
If you have an explanation for this violation that you wish to present, please respond in writing to
me within ten (10) days after receipt of this Notice. 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.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Mr. David Holsinger, or myself at
the Wilmington Regional Office at [phone].

Failure to Follow or Implement Waste Management Plan
As Per 15A NCAC 2H .0217(d)
WP 96-
Facility Number 31-152
Duplin County
Dear Bowles:
This letter transmits a Notice of Civil Penalty Assessment of $ . for failing to follow or implement
your approved animal waste management plan. This failure is a violation of Title 15A of the North
Carolina Administrative Code, Chapter 2, Subchapter 211, Section .0217(d)-
This assessment and notice is based on the following facts: On October 14, 1996, Staff from the
Wilmington Office of the Division of Water Quality inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s)
serving this operation. Excessive ponding of waste and evidence of recent runoff from the spray field
was observed. The evidence indicated that a stalled spray gun had resulted in an eroded area of the spray
field, ponding and runoff of wastewater to Elder Creek, a tributary of the Northeast Cape Fear River.
While no discharge of waste was ocurring to waters of the state at the time of inspection, these activities
are a violation of your certified waste management plan.
Therefore, I conclude, Stan Bowles Farm violated or failed to act in accordance with the requirements
of 15A NCAC 2H .0217(d) and is subject to a civil penalty pursuant to N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(6).
Therefore, I hereby assess Stan Bowles a $ civil penalty for this violation pursuant to G.S. 143-
215.6A(h).

a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute, You
must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and
a detailed statement which you believe establishes whether:

were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting
from the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;

ENFORCEMENT CASE ASSESSMENT FACTORS
Type: (wp)
Violator: Stan Bowles Farms, Inc.
Address: 607 Curtis Road
Warsaw, North Carolina 28398
Regional Office: Wilmington
1. The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources
of the State, to the public health, or to private
property resulting from the violation:
The extent of harm cannot be easily determined.
Excessive application and resulting runoff of wastes
adversely affect surface water, groundwater, air and
animal resources. Typically waste discharged into a
receiving stream is found to have very high levels of
pathogens as indicated by fecal coliform bacteria. In
addition, high levels of ammonia, nutrients and other
organic matter which can lead to the depletion of
dissolved oxygen.
2. The duration and gravity of the violation:
The evidence indicates that the stalled gun had run for
quite some time. The depth of the erosion due to the
wastewater stream from the gun is estimated at six to
eight inches. wastewater was observed ponded in
various areas around the spray field. In addition, a
small gully leading to Elder Creek was saturated and
ponded with wastewater.
3. The effect on ground or surface water quantity or
quality or on air quality:
The effects to groundwater and air were not documented.
water quality was impacted as determined by evidence of
excessive application of wastewater and of runoff to
surface waters.

,ti
4. The cast of rectifying the. damage:
D AFT
The cost to rectify cannot be easily estimated. Elder
Creek is classified as "C-Swamp" waters of the State.
Typically waste discharged into a receiving stream is
found to have very high levels of pathogens (ie. fecal
coliform bacteria), ammonia and nutrients.
5. The amount of money saved by noncompliance:
The amount of money saved by noncompliance is not
known. However, proper waste application techniques
require a minimum expenditure of the operators time.
Land is available for irrigation. An acceptable cover
crop was observed at the time. Over all the facility
appeared well maintained.
6. Whether the violation was committed willfully or
intentionally:
Due to the amount of erosion from the waste stream and
the ponded wastewater, the evidence indicates that the
violation was the result of a lack of management. No
evidence of third party intervention or vandalism was
observed.
7. The prior record of the violator in complying or
failing to comply with programs over which the
Environmental Management Commission has regulatory
authority:
This office has received several complaints concerning
runoff from this operation over the past four months.
This is the first violation observed by staff on this
facility.
8. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures:
The State's enforcement costs totaled $484.16, as
follows:
Staff
Holsinger, 11.0 hrs. $239.58
Mileage (126 miles@ $0.28 per mile) $ 35.28
Photography (film & Development) $ 9.30
Laboratory costs $ 00.00
Administrative costs $100.00

URAFT
9. Type of violator and general nature of business (i.e.
Individual vs. large corporation): Individual.
10. Violators degree of cooperation (including efforts to
prevent or restore) or recalcitrance:
Mr. Bowles has contacted this office and outlined the
the modifications he has implemented to ensure there
will be no future discharges. These include:
- Grading/filling the eroded area and gully creating
a grassed waterway.
- Planted fescue in various areas of the operation.

Dear Mr. Bowles:
On November 5, 1997, Staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was
observed that lagoon #1 has insufficient freeboard.
USDA-NRCS guidelines require a minimum. of one foot and seven inches of freeboard.
This is based on the amount of storage space needed to contain a 25-year, 24 hour design storm
event without a discharge. NRCS requirements also specify that animal waste shall be applied on
actively growing crops. And that waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these
soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released
nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil.
The level of your waste lagoon needs to be lowered and maintained in accordance with the
NRCS guidelines and the state 2H .0200 rules governing animal waste management systems. We
suggest that you contact your service company, local NRCS or Soil and Water District office for
any assistance they may be able to provide to correct the situation.

143-215.10D, is one of two visits scheduled for all registered livestock operations during
the 1997 calendar year.
During the Review, it was determined that the lagoon #1 liquid level exceeded the
maximum temporary storage level, with a combined 25 year124 hour storm and
structural freeboard of 1.5 feet (18 inches). G.S. 143-215.10E requires me to notify
Division of Water Quality and the ownerloperator of this observed violation.
It is imperative that you maintain the lagoon level such that adequate storage for a 25

all times. As discussed during the Review, you have agreed to pump and land apply
the waste at agronomic rates as soon as weather and soil conditions permit.
I have enclosed a copy of the final report for this facility and for Farm 3, facility number
31-812. Please review both reports, particularly the comment section on pages 2 and 3
for additional comments, concerns and recommendations.
In order for your facility to be in compliance with environmental regulations, animal

Stan Bowles Farm
Chinquapin, N.C.
Duplin County
Dear Mr. Bowles:
This letter is to notify you that the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality is
considering submittal of a recommendation for enforcement action to the Director of the Division of
Water Quality. The recommendation concerns the -6olation of Title 15A of the North Carolina
Administrative Code; Chapter 2, Subchapter 2H, Section .0217(d). On October 11, 1997, animal waste
was observed flowing from a drain tile located in the rear lagoon dike wall leading to the nearby tree line.
This resulted in a discharge of animal waste to adjacent property and to Stockinghead Creek, a tributary of
the Northeast Cape Fear River. This incident is a violation of your animal waste permit number:
AWS310152.
If you have an explanation for this violation that you wish to present, please respond in writing to
me within ten (10) days after receipt of this Notice. 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.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Mr. David Holsinger, or myself at
the Wilmington Regional Office at [phone].
Sincerely,
Rick Shiver, P.G.

Dear Mr. Shiver:
NOV I 0 697
In response to your certified letter #Z 312 6036 665 of October 31, 1997 issuing a notice of
violation, the following is the sequence of events that occurred beginning on Saturday, October
13, 1997:
1 1:45 AM Dave Holsinger and I observed a small amount of liquid bubbling out
from under a dense mat of vegetation in the tree line below the lagoon
of Stan Bowles Farm #2. Immediately called Garth Boyd at Murphy
Family Fame.
NOON Garth Boyd arrived and we bush -hogged the area to better identify the
source of the problem.
1:30 PM Several other MFF personnel, track hoe and pump arrived and within
ten (10) minutes a containment ditch was dug, which exposed the
plastic drain tile that had caused the problem. Pumping of the lagoon
effluent back into the lagoon began immediately.
2-4:OOPM Murphy Family Farms engineers and track hoe operator determined
the origination of drainage file under the lagoon by digging an obser-
vation ditch at several points toward the lagoon.
4:00 PM Tile found in base of lagoon near the wall. Tile dug out and area
back -filled with four (4) yards of concrete, special ordered from S 81 W
Concrete, Clinton, NC.
Discharge ceased and sealed.
5:00 PM Garth Boyd called Dave Holsinger at home and informed him of the
sequence of events and that the problem had been rectified.

Monday, October 13, 6:30 AM - 3:00 PM
Murphy Family Farms delivered seventeen (17) tandem dump truck
loads of approved clay (1.25 x 10-6 permeability rating). Each load
was packed in the hole with a MFF bulldozer. Entire disturbed area
was graded, disced, seeded and mulched. Brian Wrenn, DWQ inspects
repair efforts while in progress.
Mr. Shiver, I hope you can get a sense of how importantly and urgently we take environmental
issues associated with pig production. On a beautiful Saturday afternoon when people had other
plans, a significant emergency response team of ten (10) people and three (3) pieces of heavy
equipment were assembled and the problem was rectified within five (5) hours of learning of the
problem. From my observation, there was very minimal impact to Stocking Head Creek. Though I
have not yet received a bill from Murphy Family Farms for all the heavy equipment operation, it
will easily total in the thousands of dollars.
If you need further information or documentation, give me a call.
Sincerely,
Stan Bowles

Mr. Shiver,
DEC
On October 25, 1996 I visited Stan Bowles' operation (Farm Number: 31-152) to provide
technical assistance as requested by Mr. Tres Bowles. Mr. Bowies indicated that he had been visited by
your agency on the 14th and that problems were found in his waste management system. Although I was
not involved with the development of his original animal waste management plan, I reviewed the system
with Mr_ Bowles and developed an action plan to remedy current and future concerns.
The following actions have been taken since your October 14th visit:
1. The area eroded by the malfunctioning irrigation reel has been reworked with dirt hauled
in from another area This area was also reseeded to prevent any subsequent erosion.
2. All waterways in fields receiving waste have been re -shaped and re -seeded to prevent
channeling of storm water runoff.
3. A ten foot wide permanent fescue buffer strip has been seeded downslope of all sprayfields
and along all ditches. These areas will not be irrigated on but will be maintained to filter any
possible lateral movement of nutrients from sprayfields to watercourses.
4. A solid set irrigation system has been installed in the small field to the right of the path
leading to the facilities. This irrigation system will allow for a lower application rate and better
coverage of these smaller, sloping fields than the reel system that was being used.
5. Mr. Tres Bowles voluntarily took the Environmental Assurance Course offered by the NCPP
and passed, receiving his certificate of completion.
In my professional opinion, the Bowles' have not only fixed the problems found during your visit, but
have gone one step farther in order to prevent any future problems. They welcome any follow up visit by
your agency. I would ask that the Bowles Farm remain a deemed permitted facility under its original
waste management plan and certification. If you need any further information please contact me at 1(910)

Dear Mr. Bowles:
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 919/733-0026.

Dear Mr. Bowles:
You are hereby notified that Stan Bowies Farm, which has been deemed permitted to
have a nondischarge permit for an animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217,
has been found to be in violation of its 2H .0217 Permit.
On October 14, 1996, Staff from the Wilmington Office of the Division of Water
Quality inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. Ponding of waste
and evidence of recent runoff from the spray field was observed. Evidence indicates that a stalled
spray gun had eroded an area of the spray field resulting in runoff to Elder Creek a tributary of the
Northeast Cape Fear River. While no discharge of waste was observed to waters of the state at the
time of inspection, the incident is a violation of your certified waste management plan.
The Division of Water Quality will may proceed to revoke Stan Bowles Farm's permit
unless the following conditions are completed:
1. Immediately eliminate the discharge of wastewater and/or list actions to correct the noted
violation.
2. Make any modifications needed to ensure there will be no future discharges.

To remain a deemed permitted facility, all corrective actions must be made within fourteen (14)
days. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status, requiring a new
certified waste management plan and certification form for the facility to be submitted, and/or being
required to obtain an individual non discharge permit for the facility.
Failure to comply with the above conditions will cause the existing animal waste management
system serving your animal operation to be considered in operation without a permit as required by
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1.
Please be advised that this assessment does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking
enforcement actions for this violation or any past or future violations.
When the required corrective actions are complete, please notify this office in writing. If you
have any questions concerning this matter please do not hesitate to contact either Mr. David
Holsinger, of our Wilmington Office at (910)-395-3900 or Mr. Shannon Langley at [phone],
