NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY WRITTEN RESPONSE LETTER

MICHAEL MEILINGER
WILMINGTON REGIONAL OFFICE
NCDEQ
Dear Michael Meilinger,
This letter is being sent in response to a Notice of Deficiency letter issued by your office
on the above mentioned facility. This facility/farm was impacted by chronic rainfall (20
total inches from May 5 thru June 16) which saturated application fields. These
conditions did not allow for land application of waste out of lagoons in accordance with
permit requirements for a period of time. Instead of land application in a manner that
would possibly have caused there to be ponding or runoff, excessive rainfall was stored
in the lagoons. As soon as weather and field conditions allowed, land application
resumed. This farm's freeboard was back in compliance by July 7, 2018.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, feel free to contact me at 910-289-7659.
Sincerely,
Jason Cavenaugh
