In addition to the aforementioned deficiencies, 'it is important that you determine the wetted
acreage in each irrigation pull and map these patterns out in relationship to your waste
management plan. The IRR-2 records can be kept by irrigation pull and the computations
completed by wetted acres.
It is very important as the owner and the Operator in Charge that you resolve these
aforementioned deficiencies and any other problems that may arise, as soon as possible. For
additional assistance, please contact your Technical Specialist. Nothing in this letter should be
taken as absolving this facility of the responsibility and liability of any violations that have
resulted or may result from these deficiencies. Failure to comply with your Certified Animal
Waste Management Plan and General Permit could result in civil penalty assessment and/or
revocation of your General Permit.
