(Date) Kerr T. Stevens, Director Division of Water Quality DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY ENFORCEMENT CASE ASSESSMENT FACTORS Type: (V) Violator: Randall Stoecker Address: 2802 Half Branch School Road, Ivanhoe, North Carolina 28441 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: No direct harm was observed because of the violation. However, runoff due to excessive hydraulic loading creates a large potential for harm to natural resources and to public health. 2. The duration and gravity of the violations: Waste was applied on Pull #9 from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on August 15, 2000. A total of 36,000 gallons was applied. Large areas of ponded waste were observed at the edge of the spray pull and in the wooded area adjacent to the spray field. Waste was applied on Pull #35 from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on August 15, 2000. A total of 35,000 gallons was applied. A significant amount of waste had runoff into a small drainage area adjacent to the spray field. Although there was no discharge to waters of the State, the ponding and runoff in both cases could have been avoided by showing due care during the application events. 3. The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality: No effects on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality were documented. 4. The cost of rectifying the damage: The cost of the clean up procedures was minimal. All pumps, hoses, sprinklers, and dirt moving equipment were already on site and available for use. 5. The amount of money saved by noncompliance: It is difficult to determine the amount of money saved by noncompliance. Time and labor costs were saved by not adequately monitoring the application events. 6. Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally: It is the opinion of the inspector that the violations were not willful or intentional. 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 facility was issued a Notice of Deficiency on May 12, 1997 for excessive ponding of animal waste in the spray fields. The facility was issued a Notice of Violation on September 28, 1998 for excessive ponding and runoff of animal waste in the spray field, insufficient freeboard, and failure to properly notify of insufficient freeboard. The facility was issued a Notice of Deficiency for erosion on the lagoon dike wall and for the poor condition of the cover crop. ' 8. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures: The cost of the enforcement procedures totaled $363.37. Stonewall Mathis 6 hours @ $24.09/hour $144.54 Brian Wrenn 5 hours @ $19.20/hour $96.00 Mileage 70 miles @ $0.23/mile $16.10 Photography (film and developing) $6.73 Administrative Costs $100.00 9. Violators degree of cooperation (including efforts to prevent or restore) or recalcitrance: The runoff of animal waste was blocked at both spray pulls. At Pull #9, the ponded waste in the field and in the woods was pumped back on to drier areas of the adjacent field using - - - a small pump and sprinkler.- -The ponded area was then disked to enhance infiltrati6n and evaporation of any remaining waste. At Pull #35, the ponded waste in the field and in the drainage area was pumped back on to drier areas of the spray field using a small pump and sprinkler. 10.

Wilmington, NC 28405-3845 FAX: 910.350.2004 Dear Mr. Mathis: On Tuesday, August 15, 2000, at approximately 10:30 a.m., Stonewall Mathis of NCDENR, visited Pender I and II Sow Farms, and made us aware of ponding and run-off of lagoon water being applied to spray fields. Two irrigation -traveling guns had been operating that morning — one at Pender I, the other at Pender II — but had just. been shut off due to a leaking hydrant. The ponding and run-off from the spray field at Pender II appeared to be the result of too much effluent being applied on soil that was not adequately dried from, recent rains. This particular area of run-off also has steeper slopes than the rest of the field, which accelerated the run-off. The effluent that ran off of this spray field was contained in a filed ditch next to the spray. The ponding and run-off from the spray field at Pender I has been determined to be due to a malfunction of a drive chain on the reel. This was not determined until Thursday, August 17, 2000, when we attempted to re -start this irrigation reel. Our operator — Michael Creech — had checked this reel after it was started and observed that the turbine was functioning and the meter that shows speed of travel was operating in a normal range. What he didn't notice was that the final drive chain that turns the reel was too loose and not turning the reel properly. As a result, the irrigation did not move at the speed indicated by the RPM meter. a =MMti HAu*c� aK Post Office Box 759, Rose Hill, North Carolina 28458, (910) 289-2111, FAX (910) 289-6400 lugust 18, 2000 'age 2 .orrective Actions: Is soon as we became aware of the run-off problems, we used a front-end loader to close )ff the field ditch at Pender II to contain the effluent in the field ditch. A small pump with small sprinklers and 200 feet of hose was used to apply the effluent to an area of the bean field not normally well covered by irrigation. After ponded water and excess ditch water was applied to crops, the ditch bank was disked to incorporate any moist soil. At the Pender I site the flow of effluent to the woods was stopped at the woods with dirt. The ponded water, which also included some rainwater, was applied to the growing soybean crop. Later the small pump was used to remove ponded effluent from the woods and supplied to the adjoining cropland. The area of run-off and ponding was then disked to incorporate the remaining moist soil. The next step (in the next 10 days) will be to reseed the disked areas. No irrigation water left our property or did it reach any waters to the state. Plans to Prevent Future Run -Off Problems: -Insist that operator observes the field where irrigation is being done. -Operator must make sure the reel is turning at all times. -Increase frequency of monitoring irrigation process.

It was observed that mild erosion is occurring on the lagoon at Pender 1 and the Bermuda field needs to be improved. These items are violations of your General Permit and certified animal waste management plan. The erosion on the lagoon at Pender #1 should be appropriately repaired and vegetation established on this area and the other large area lacking vegetative cover. Correcting this problem now will avoid continued degradation of the structure. Lime and top soil may need to be used to aid in establishing vegetation on the duce wall. The bermuda spray field needs substantial improvement to improve its ability to utilize the waste applied. It has a considerable weed problem and a large lime requirement according to most recent soil analysis. Lime should be applied to all spray fields when the recommended application is 1.0 ton/ac or more. This field may need to be re -sprigged in areas to improve the amount of vegetative cover. Contact your local Extension office or NCDA agronomist for suggestions to improve this field -- burning this field may be an option. To remain a 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 permitted status, requiring it to obtain an individual non discharge permit. 127 Cardinal Drive Ext., Wilmington, North Carolina 29405 Telephone 910-395-3900 FAX 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Aandall Stoecker Page 2 March 24, 1999 Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge wastewater to the surface'waters of the State without a permit. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day per violation. If you need assistance with addressing these items, please contact your service company, the Pender County Extension or Soil & Water office. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please call Dean Hunkele or Brian Wrenn at 910-395-3900. Sincerely, Dean A.

Hunkele Environmental Specialist Wilmington Regional Office 127 Cardinal Drive Ext. Wilmington, NC 18405 Mr. HunkeIe, I am writing on behalf of the Pender 1&2 Farm, Fac. # 71-70, in response to the NOD issued by your office on March 24, 1999. To address the items listed, i discuss the corrective steps that have been taken since your visit in the same order that they appear in your March 24th letter. 1. On 415199, the erosion areas on the Pender 1 lagoon were filled and re -graded. On the same date, this area, as well as the bare area noted, were seeded per NRCS recommendations. We will continue to monitor the growth of the cover on these areas to insure that an adequate stand of grass is realized. 2. The bermuda sprayfield was sprayed on 4/2/99 for broadleaf weeds. Also, lime was ordered for these fields and will be spread at the recommended rate when it arrives. As the bermuda emerges, we will evaluate the stand for areas that may need improvement. Keep in mind that the cropland on this farm will receive the lions share of effluent in dry years, and that this may cause a shortage of nitrogen for the bermuda, thus hindering efforts aimed at having a quality stand during these time periods. Bermuda is very forgiving in this respect, allowing the stand to remain viable until nitrogen is added to promote growth.

After talking with the farm manager and reviewing the letter written by Kraig Westerbeek, dated June 30, 1998, several factors became apparent that could have resulted in the deficeincies listed in the Notice of Violation letter. First, at the time of the inspection on 2/19/98, we were receiving record amounts of rainfall. Due to this fact, the spray fields were saturated and some ponding may have occurred in the low spots. This also caused the lagoon levels to rise. Second, on the day of the inspection, one of the crates had broken and several pig carcasses were ' flushed into the lagoon. These were removed from the lagoon the same day. Third, rye grass was planted in the field that was designated for a corn, wheat and soybean rotation because it was too late to plant the wheat and rye was better than no crop at all. To correct the problems that were mentioned, the lagoon levels have been lowered, spray fields have been cleaned and leveled where possible to help prevent ponding, and all fields are planted according to the waste utilization plan. Also, a Land and Nutrient Manager has been hired to oversee the management of the lagoons and spray fields. Both the farm managers and the Land and Nutrient Manager plan to reread the permit to better understand the requirements therein. Post Office Box 759, Rose Hill, North Carolina 28458, (910) 289-2111, FAX (910) 289-6400 Please note that the corrective actions,have been completed. Due to the fact that no discharge to Waters of the State occurred, I ask that you reconsider the issuance of this notice as a Notice of Deficiency rather than a Notice of Violation.

It was observed at this time that them were a large amount of low areas in the spray fields. These areas contained no cover crop and and in some places there was excessive ponding of waste and rain water While no discharge of waste to waters of the State was observed at this time, 15A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1) prohibits the application of waste such that runoff from the application site occurs. USDA-NRCS requirements specify that animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances or direct application. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not exceeding the soil infiltration rate such that excessive ponding and/or runoff of wastewater does not occur offsite or to surface waters. As I discussed with you during the inspection, extreme care should be taken during the application of waste to prevent excessive ponding. The low areas in the spray fields should be filled, graded and reseeded or the entire field graded and reseeded to prevent future ponding and to reduce the risk of runoff. Best management practices should be implemented to ensure that future discharges of waste will not occur. I would suggest utilizing all of the available acreage in your waste application rotation. In addition, all leaky hydrants should be fixed and the bare spots and erosion areas on the lagoon walls should be filled and reseeded. 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, N.C. 234OS-3345 a Telephone 910-395-3900 a Fax 9IG-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Randy Stoecker May 12, 1997 Page 2.

These documents shall be kept in good condition and records shall be maintained in an orderly fashion. 5. For all new and expanding operations, no collection or storage facilities may be constructed in a 100-year flood plain. :.;..-.. 6. Existing swine dry lots may remain in wetlands as long as the wetlands uses are not removed or degraded as a result of the swine. The swine however may not be confined within 100 feet of an adjacent stream or a seasonally -flooded area. The swine also must not cause a loss of more than 10% of the existing tree canopy. Where trees do not exist, the area must be managed to include crop rotation. II, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE_ REQUIREMENTS 1. The collection, treatment, and storage facilities, and land application equipment and fields shall be maintained at all times and properly operated. 2... A vegetative cover shall be maintained on all Iand application _fields- and buffers in accordance with the CAWMP. No waste may be applied upon fields not included in the CAWMP. 3. Lime must be applied, as needed, to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production. 4. 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. S. Application of animal waste onto land which is used to grow crops for direct human consumption (e.g., strawberries, melons, Iettuce, cabbage, apples, etc.) shall not occur following the planting of the crop or at any time during the growing season, or in the case of fruit bearing trees, following breaking dormancy. Application of animal wastes shall not occur within 30 days of the harvesting of fiber and food crops for direct human consumption that undergo further processing. 6.

This requirement does not, apply to no -till fields, pasture, or fields where crops are actively growing. 7. Domestic and/or industrial wastewater from showers, toilets, sinks, etc. shall not be discharged into the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and application system. Washdown of stock trailers, owned by and used to transport animals to and from this farm only, will be permissible as long as the system can accommodate the additional volume. Only those detergents and disinfectants that are labeled by the manufacturer as readily biodegradable may be utilized. 8. Disposal of dead animals shall be done in accordance with the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDACS) Veterinary Division's regulations. 0 9. Unless accounted for in temporary storage volume, all uncontaminated runoff from the surrounding property and buildings shall be diverted away from the animal waste lagoons and storage ponds to prevent any unnecessary addition to the liquid volume in the structures. 10. A protective vegetative cover shall be established and maintained on all lagoon/storage pond embankments (outside toe of embankment to maximum pumping elevation), berms, pipe runs, and surface water diversions. Trees, shrubs, and other woody vegetation shall not be allowed to grow on the lagoon/waste storage pond embankments. All trees shall be removed in accordance with good engineering practices.

An inspection of the waste collection, treatment, and storage structures and runoff control measures shall be conducted at a frequency to insure proper operation but at least monthly and after storm events. For example, lagoons, storage ponds, and other structures should be inspected for evidence of erosion, leakage, damage by animals or discharge. Any major structural repairs .(to lagoons or waste storage ponds) must have written documentation from a technical specialist certifying' proper design and installation. However, if a piece of equipment is being replaced with a piece of equipment of the identical specifications, no technical specialist approval is necessary [i.e. piping, reels, valves, pumps (if the GPM capacity is not being increased or decreased), etc.]. 7 2. If not already installed at this facility, a waste -level gauge to monitor waste levels shall be installed within 60 days of issuance of the COC under this general permit. This gauge shall have readily visible permanent markings indicating the maximum liquid level at the top of the temporary liquid storage volume, minimum liquid level at the bottom of the temporary liquid storage volume, top of the dam elevations. Where storage ponds are utilized, only a gauge indicating the maximum liquid level at the top of the temporary liquid storage volume and top of dam elevations need be installed. Caution must be taken not to damage the integrity of the liner when installing the gauge. Waste lagoon and storage pond levels shall be recorded weekly on forms supplied or approved by the DWQ. For level gauges already installed, the gauge shall have at a minimum: readily visible permanent markings indicating the maximum liquid level at the top of the _temporary _ liquid storage volume .and .-minimum liquid -level. at the bottom of the temporary liquid storage volume. 3.. A representative Standard Soil Fertility Analysis, including pH, copper, and zinc, shall be conducted annually on each application field receiving animal waste. The results of these tests shall be maintained on fie by the Permittee for a minimum of three years and shall be made available to the DWQ upon request. 4. An analysis of the animal waste shall be conducted as close to the time of application as practical and at least within 60 days (before or after) of the date of application. This analysis shall include the following parameters: Nitrogen' Zinc Phosphorous Copper S. Records, including land application event(s) and removal of solids to an off -site location(s) records, shall be maintained by the Permittee in chronological and Iegible form for a minimum of three years. These records shall be maintained on forms provided or approved by the DWQ and shall be readily available for inspection. 6. Regional Notification: The Permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following events: a. Failure of any- component of the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system resulting in a discharge to surface waters. b. Any failure of the animal waste treatment and disposal system that renders the facility incapable of adequately receiving, treating or storing the animal waste and/or sludge. c. A spill or discharge from a vehicle transporting animal waste or sludge to the land application field which results in, a discharge to surface waters or an event that poses a serious threat to surface waters. d. Any deterioration or leak in a lagoordstorage pond that poses an immediate threat to the environment. 4 e. Failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage greater than or equal to that required in Condition V (3) of this General Permit. f. Overapplying animal waste either in excess of the limits set out in the CAWMP or where runoff enters surface waters. g. Any discharge that bypasses a lagoon/storage pond resulting in a discharge to surface waters or that poses a serious threat to the environment. For any emergency which requires immediate reporting after'normal business hours, please contact the Division of Emergency Management at 1-800.858-0368. The Permittee shall also file a written report to the appropriate DWQ Regional Office of the occurrence within 5 calendar days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This - - report shall outline the actions taken or proposed to be taken to correct the problem and to ensure that the problem does not recur. The requirement to file a written report may not be waived by the DWQ Regional Office. IV. INSPECTIONS Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the DWQ may, upon presentation of credentials and in accordance with reasonable and appropriate biosecurity measures, enter and inspect any property, premises or place on or related to the collection, treatment, storage and land application system at any reasonable time for the purpose of determining compliance with this permit; may inspect and obtain a copy of any records that must be kept under the terms and conditions of this permit; and may obtain -samples of the animal waste, groundwater, soil, plant tissue, or surface water. Z'. GENERAL CONDITIONS The issuance of a COC under this permit shall - not relieve the Perminee of the responsibility for damages to surface waters or ground waters resulting from the animal operation. 2. The Permittee shall designate a certified animal waste management system operator to be in charge (OIC) of the animal waste management system. The animal waste management system shall be operated by the OIC or a person under the OIC's supervision. 3. The maximum waste level in lagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the CAWMP. At a minimum, maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional 1 foot of structural freeboard. In addition to the above requirements, for new and expanding farms with Iagoon designs completed after September 1, 1996, storage must also be provided for the heavy rainfall factor for lagoons without an outside drainage area. In the case of lagoons/storage ponds in series that are gravity fed, the 25-year, 24-hour storm event and/or the heavy rainfall factor storage rcquirements for the system may be designed into the lowest lagoon/storage pond in the system. However, adequate freeboard must be designed into each of the upper lagoons/storage ponds to allow sufficient storage to prevent the waste level from raising into the structural freeboard while the storm water is draining into the lowest lagoon in the system. 5 , 4 4. Should the DWQ have good reason to believe that any activities conducted pursuant to ' this permit may cause or contribute any waste, directly or indirectly, to be intermixed with the waters of the State, the DWQ may require any monitoring (including but not limited to groundwater, surface water, animal waste, sludge, soil and plant tissue) necessary to determine the source, quantity, quality, and effect of such waste upon the waters of the State. Such monitoring, including its scope, frequency, duration and any sampling, testing, and reporting systems, shall meet all applicable Environmental Management Commission requirements. "Good Reason" may be based on the findings of a related Federal, State, Commission or DENR authorized study or report, or other evidence showing that violations of State water quality standards or other applicable environmental standards have occurred or may occur. 5.. Failure to abide by -the conditions and limitations contained in this permit, the facility's CAWMP and/or.any.000 issued under this permit may subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the DWQ in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes and may include the requirement to obtain an individual non -discharge permit and/or the modification of the animal waste management system b. The issuance of a COC under this permit does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, or 'ordinances (local, state, and federal). 7. If animal production ceases, the Permittee shall close the lagoons/storage ponds in accordance with Natural Resource Conservation Service (MRCS) Iagoon/storage pond closure standards or develop and implement an animal waste management plan in accordance with NRCS standards. Closure shall also include notifying the DWQ and submittal of the Animal Waste Storage Pond and Lagoon Closure Report Form to DWQ- Water Quality Section- Non -Discharge Branch within 15 days of completion of closure. 8. The annual permit fee shall be paid by the Permittee within thirty (30) days after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee accordingly constitutes grounds for revocation of the COC granting coverage under this General Permit. 9. FaiIure of the Permittee to maintain, in full force and effect, lessee and landowner agreements which are required in the CAWNIP, shall constitute grounds for revocation of the COC granting coverage under this General Permit. 10. This permit allows for the distribution of manure up to 4 cubic yards per visit to individuals for personal use. 2 11. The Groundwater Compliance Boundary for the disposal system constructed after December 31, 1983, is established at either (1) 250 feet from the waste structures and from the waste disposal area, or (2) 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste structures and the waste disposal area. If this facility was constructed prior to December 31, 1983', the Compliance Boundary is established at either (1) 500 feet from the waste disposal area, or (2) at the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste disposal area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2L and the Division in addition to the penalty provisions applicable under the North Carolina General Statutes.
