As owner/operator, I regret and am very sorry this violation occurred. This was an error that occurred due to misinterpretation of dates. I mistakenly used a waste sample for 90 days out front instead of the allowable 60 days. The waste sample that I should have been using for the 615` thru 90t' day had higher nitrogen rate/1000 gallons. This caused my facility to over apply. I realize the importance of not exceeding the PAN on wettable acres. I will strive to not let this misinterpretation of waste analysis samples occur again. Also, I did have other acres that this over application amount could have been applyed to and would have kept us in compliance with the CAWMP. In order to have my records accurate for the next inspection, I have deducted the over applied amount from the next crop which is Coastal Bermuda. If this is not correct, I would appreciate correspondence by letter to inform me of the correct procedure to keep facility #96-57 records correct. I have recently sprigged seven (7) additional acres of Coastal Bermuda to be used as wettable acres. I have contacted my local SWCD and a new waste utilization plan has been completed, which included these additional acres. Again, the importance of water quality on our farm is taken seriously. As past records reflect, we keep a neat facility with no problems for the past five years. Hopefully no more mistakes will be made in the future Sincerely, r'04 , k Carl G.
