Subject: August 2, 2007 Notices of Violation
Failure to Provide Sludge Survey Reports
Farms 310078, 310165 & 310683
Dear Mr. Bell:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Through conversations and correspondence with Clark Wright, an attorney representing Bell
Enterprises, the Division of Water Quality has learned of your concern over the Notices of Violation
sent to your company during August 2007 for failure to submit sludge survey reports for your three
farms in Duplin County. Additional correspondence, recently provided by Mr. Wright's office, which
was prepared by your"consultant, Rainman Environmental, attests that the sludge surveys were
conducted and reports were sent to the Division. Although the Division has no record of receiving the
reports, I can only believe that they were sent in good faith. Also, I was pleased to hear that recent
compliance visits to your farms during the past year found everything in order and all documentation in
place.
In consideration of the correspondence and staff s recent observations, I am, with this letter,
retracting the three notices of violation, however, the paper copy of the original notices in our files must
be retained as a matter of record. Please contact me should you have additional questions about this
matter.
Yours very trul ,

Dear Patrick Bell:
RECEIVED
AU 6 0 LUUh
BY:
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your sludge survey information on June
21, 2005. With your results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement for #1
Primary lagoon at the Bell Enterprises IV farm. Due to the amount of treatment volume
available, DWQ agrees that a sludge survey is not needed until 2007. The result of the 2007
sludge survey is to be submitted with the Annual Certification Form that will be due on March 1,
2008. Please be advised that the extension applies to the #1 Primary lagoon only.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please call me at
[phone].
