This inspection is part of the Division's efforts to determine compliance with the State's animal waste nondischarge rules. The inspection determined that the swine operation was not discharging wastewater into waters of the State and that the waste lagoons had the required amount of freeboard. As a result of the inspection the facility was found to be in compliance with the State's animal nondischarge regulations. Effective wastewater treatment and facility stewardship are an important responsibility of all animal waste producers. The Division of Water Quality has the responsibility to enforce water quality regulations in order to protect the natural resources of the State. Accordingly, illegal discharges of wastewater to surface waters of the State are subject to the assessment of civil penalties and may also result in the loss of deemed permitted status, requiring immediate submission of a waste management plan. This office would also like to take this opportunity to remind you that you are required to have an approved animal waste management plan by December 31, 1997. This plan must be Certified by a designated technical specialist or a professional engineer.

This inspection is a part of the Division's effort to determine potential problems associated with animal waste disposal systems. Mr. Towell's site visit determined that wastewater from your swine facility was not discharging to the surface waters of the state, nor were any manmade pipes, ditches, or other prohibited conveyances (for the purpose of willfully discharging wastewater) observed. However, as a result of the inspection, the following deficiencies were observed: Several cattle had access to a ditch that is a conveyance to the adjacent swamp. This problem can be corrected by moving the feeding/watering station -from this location and by the possible addition of fencing. Your local Soil and Water Conservation District has the capability to help you correct this problem. In addition to continued facility waste management, these deficiencies must be immediately addressed to help prevent illegal discharges. The Raleigh Regional Office will require a written response to the aforementioned issues within 30 days of receipt of this letter.
