Bain Bain & McRae P.O. Box 99 Lillington, NC 27546 RE: C.W. Gelder, 96 EHR 0415 Dear Mr. Bain: In a letter dated January 3, 1996, a civil penalty was assessed against your client C.W. Gelder in the amount of $3,282.16. A finding of fact in that civil penalty assessment, that your client owns a hog facility located on State Road 1391, 0.3 road miles south of the junction with SR 1386 in Franklin County, North Carolina, was in error. In fact, your client's hog facility is located in Wake County. Accordingly, it is my belief that my client will rescind that civil penalty. It is further my understanding that another civil penalty will thereafter be issued naming the correct county. Once you receive the order rescinding the civil penalty, I hope that you will withdraw your petition. Thank you for your consideration. c: Honorable Beecher R. Gray Harlan K.

Squires Homes 3701 National Drive, Suite 101 Raleigh, North Carolina 27612 Subject: Geldder Farm -Lagoon -Closure Wake-C- nu ty Dear Mr. Abernathie: The Raleigh Regional Office has reviewed the closeout documentation for the G.W. Gelder farm in Wake County. On March 24, 2000, Mr. Charles Alvarez, from the Raleigh Regional Office visited the old Gelder Hog Farm with you to do a closure inspection. The facility was a 150 hog farrow to finish operation located off Mann's Loop Road in southern Wake County. The facility was operated by Lynwood Carroll and the last hogs were removed from the site sometime in 1994. Mr. Alvarez's site visit confirmed that no residual solids from the hog farm operation were located in the bottom of the lagoon. One end of the lagoon structure had been breached and runoff from a upstream pond was flowing through a low area of the lagoon and onto an unnamed tributary to Middle Creek. The Raleigh Regional Office concurs with your closure report that the lagoon structure has been cleared of any animal waste and that the lagoon structure can be considered closed. The sample reports provided by you in your letter and visual inspection by Mr. Alvarez show that all waste material has been removed from the bottom and sides of the lagoon. If you have any questions regarding this inspection please call Mr. Charles Alvarez at (919) 571-4700. Sincerely, 2 Ken ZScE.

Eng., Raleigh Regional Office SUBJECT : Gelders Pond Lagoon Closure, Wake County On February, 21, 2000, Mr. Sean Abernathie of the Squires Homes Company, brought in a letter concerning a lagoon closure at Gelders Farm in Wake County. The farm had been a hog facility that was closed out in the 1995 or 1996 time frame. Mr. Abernathie has been in contact with me about what information was needed to consider the lagoon closed so Squires Homes would not need to be concerned about any Iiabilities. associated with the closed farm operation. I told Mr. Abernathie that without a closure plan the best thing that was possible was to get an engineering firm to sample the soil at the sight and see if any sludge was left in the lagoon depression. Mr. Abernathie is a Professional Engineer registered in North Carolina and therefore qualifies as a technical specialist for lagoon plans and I assume for lagoon closures. Please provide me guidance as to what other requirements, if any, Mr. Abernathie needs to provide to prove closure of the lagoon. I am attaching the letter and sample reports that were sent in by Mr. Abernathie. Please note that there is not a site map or sampling location included with this letter. If you would like me to go with Mr. Abernathie to do a farm inspection, let me know and I will provide pictures of the location and my opinion of the state of the lagoon area. The company's intention is to leave the lagoon area as a green area for the subdivision. If you have any questions, please call me at 919 571-4700. • A Homes CmnEunv QUIRES February 18, 2000 Mr. Charles Alvarez North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources 3800 Barrett Drive.

Alvarez: Included for your revie,.v, is a copy of the soils report conducted by �Ir, Kent Messick from the North Carolina Department of Agriculture. Agronomic Division. The report was Generated from four soil samples taken at different locations in the bottom of the old lagoon at an approximate depth of 6' from existing around. The method of collection was as directed by Mr. Messick in a telephone conversation. To date I have witnessed the draining of the old lagoon, personally conducted onsite visual test holes in the adjacent fields and had the remaining lagoon soils tested for residual chemical content. In my various site inspections I have not seen any evidence of residual animal waste. It is my intention to fill any areas of the lagoon not listed as wetlands by the ACOE with topsoil from the adjacent proposed subdivision and utilize the area as open space. In order to Finalize the DEHNR status of the lagoon I am requesting this site be taken off the inactive list and listed as closed. Please review the enclosed test and contact me with you department's decision at your earliest convenience. If you require additional information or would like to conduct a site visit please contact me at 418-9492. Thank you for your time and interest in this old site. Since Sean Abernathie, P.E.

May 4, 1999� ' Re: fielder's Pond —Request for hog lagoon closure information Dear Mr. Abernathie: This letter is in response to your April 20, 1999 request for information from the NRCSIWake Soil and Water Conservation District files regarding the hog lagoon on the above referenced property. Specifically, you requested "access to the Conservation District office files on this property to see if the hog pond (lagoon) was properly disposed of and signed off in accordance with the applicable regulations". Additionally, you were "interested in what kind of disposal liability comes with purchase of this property". First, your letter did not make reference to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), but we view this as an FOIA request and are responding accordingly. Secondly, we understand the current owner is McGregor Development Company and not Mr. Gelder, the original landowner to whom NRCS provided technical assistance. Therefore, the Conservation District office files are maintained under the jurisdiction of a previous private landowner and are therefore subject to the FOIA and the Privacy Act. By copy of this letter, I am advising that the local NRCS/District office may only release the following: 1.) the lagoon closure plan, and 2.) the cleanup report prepared by the District office and provided to the NC Division of Water Quality and the Wake County Health Department. Since these documents are already a matter of public information with the other agencies, I am requesting our NRCS District Conservationist, Mr. Steve Woodruff, to send these two documents to you directly. All other file materials and documents should be protected from any public disclosure. Regarding the "liability question" with regards to purchase of the property, NRCS is unable to comment or advise you on any liability issues. I trust this response and copies of the information provided by Mr. Woodruff will satisfy your needs. If you question the adequacy of this FOIA response, you may appeal in writing within 45 days of this letter. Your appeal should be ' addressed to: Mr. Pearlie Reed, Chief, USDA-NRCS, P.O. Box 2890, Washington, DC 20013. Please write "FOIA Appeal" on the outside of the envelope. Sincerely, George L.

NC Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources P. O. Box 29535 Raleigh, NC 27626-0535 Re: Notice of violation per 15A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1) Dear Mr. Howard: ��6� D MAY 191g?5 DEHNR RALEIGO REGIONAL OFFICE I have received your letter dated April 27, 1995. A copy of that letter is attached hereto for clarification. I wish to advise that I was not responsible for operating any production of hogs on my farm located in Wake County,'NC. The farming operation was carried on exclusively by Lynwood Carroll who leased the premises from me. Mr. Lynwood Carroll is the gentleman who constructed the lagoon located on my land and such lagoon was placed on my land without any specific permission from me and without advising me that the lagoon was being constructed. You will note that I am a non-resident landowner. Mr. Lynwood Carroll advised me in the middle of 1994 that he was going out of the hog business and that he would not be leasing from me after the end of December, 1994. I went to the farm in January of•1995 and I noted that the lagoon itself had no real water located in it and the sludge bed, however, was wet. At that time, I thought it practical to endeavor to get, the sludge bed dry so that machinery could be used to clean up the lagoon and properly dispose of the sludge that was located in the bottom of the lagoon. Unfortunately, while the drainage was taking place, very heavy rains came on March 8 and 9 and a great deal of water got into the lagoon and escaped through the trench. At the time that I was trying to get the lagoon -in shape to be cleaned, I was not aware that the trench violated any regulations. I am not a farmer and I am not aware of environmental health regulations. I have been, in the construction business prior to my retirement and I was doing what.I thought was practical in connection with making a permanent solution to a problem that I recognized. It has been a long time since I have been involved in any farming operation and the rearing of hogs which most recently took place on the farm was done by Lynwood Carroll. I am not going to lease the farm to anybody else to raise swine on the farm and I do not need a continuation of the deemed permit for the elimination of waste and no application is being made at this time. Page Two Mr. A. Preston Howard, Jr., P.E. May 17, 1995 I am interested in getting a plan to close out the facility and to clean up the problem. Yesterday, May 16, 1995, I met with Judy Garrett and Danny Smith in the Regional Office in Raleigh. I discussed your letter with them and outlined for them the same things that are enumerated in this letter. I have also met on the farm with Larry Petrovick who is with the Wake Soil and Water Conservation District relative to providing me with a plan to clean up the lagoon and the environmental problem. As soon as this plan has been completed, a copy will be sent to you for your approval prior to the time that the work is done. In the meantime, I wish to advise that the trench in the lagoon has been stopped up and there is no further seepage coming through the dam and there is no further discharge from the lagoon. I have constructed diversion ditches around the lagoon so that no additional run off water will go into the lagoon that will cause a problem. In your letter, you want to know when the trench was dug in the lagoon and the length of time that it was in place. I do not know exactly since I was in Florida, but it was sometime after the middle of January, 1995 that the trench was dug in the dam and it was made deeper from time to time over a period of about six weeks. The trench in the lagoon was stopped up and the discharge was discontinued immediately on March 10 after notification by Mr. Danny Smith. Lime was also applied on any areas where any of the discharge had gone upon any adjacent lands at the direction of Danny Smith. In every instance I have tried to cooperate in this matter and I wish to advise that I will continue to do everything possible to aid you in connection with this. Very truly ours, C. W.

On May 12, 1995 you contacted me for technical assistance in developing a waste management plan for waste utilization and a plan for closure of the abandoned treatment lagoon. Frank Evans, (NRCS) Peggy Redmond, (Wake Co. Health Dept.) and I met with you at the lagoon site to discuss ideas for cleanup. I have talked with you by phone a number of times in regards to the sludge disposal alternatives, etc. Attached is your copy of the "Waste Management Plan for Waste Utilization and Closure of the Abandoned C. W. Gelder Waste Treatment Lagoon". It was developed based upon your planned method of sludge removal and waste receiving fields you supplied us with, waste application at agronomic rates, NCDA Waste and Soil Reports, existiin crops, sludge and waste water estimates, and acceptable standards and specifications agreeetom by USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and the North Carolina Department of Health and Natural Resources Division of Environmental Management. This plan will remain valid as long as it is followed as written. Not following the plan may result in action from the Division of Environmental Management. The acreage of waste receiving fields and crop was not adequate to spread the waste according to agronomic rates during a one year time frame. Hence, it will take from fourteen to twenty-one months to distribute the waste over the limited acreage at agronomic rates. Today I made arrangements with you, Danny Smith of DEM, Frank Evans of NRCS, Peggy Redmond of Wake Co. Health Dept. to meet with me at 9:30 a. m., Wednesday, June 28, 1995. 1 also invited John and Danny Matthews via their phone answering machine. The purpose of the meeting is to review, clarify, and discuss the plan, obtain signatures, and provide copies of the plan to the above meeting participants. Please call me if you have questions. -.

W. Gelder Waste Treatment Lagoon (Design Capacity). No Animals are present. The waste from your an'_.^ial facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally sa=e manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under OEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to.avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution,,the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based.on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find informat'_on on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.' 1 ATT a C 1E.0 A to 2-Ile--:�p LAST and CIosure- +ke A-b-1 -id coc<< C'.4),6-eIder GrI<,sf-r Tr_C17-r e,,t Amount of Waste Produced Per Year(gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) See 4#-ad7ment D for C'alculot ffe)JI-, 1C1 animals X -- (amt.') waste/animal/year = -- (amt.) waste/year.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, marr..ade conveyances, d'_=ect application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil, penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. Z. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder thac the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide MRCS with a copy of a w-ritten agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable prox:.mitp, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste utilization Plan when.there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RES) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers'' required by DF-M. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Steins and Standard 390 (Interin) - Riparian Forest Buffers.]' 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. - 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorrarated on conventionally tilled cropland. then applied to ccnservaticn tided crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Vacher and Cl pate in North Carolina" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) W • C. ". A-STE. UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (Condnaoe) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No pending should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with'a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied.in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by aver - spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that 'discharge directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided the application causes no runoff or drift from the site.

W. Gelder Waste Treatment Lagoon The followin,9 items are an integral part of the "Waste Management Plan for Waste Utilization and Closure of the Abandoned C. W. Gelder Waste Treatment Lagoon". 1. The breach shall be repaired to the original shape of existing dam and planted with permanent vegetation. 2. Existing buildings will be removed according to Wake Co. Health Dept. and Wake Co. Solid Waste regulations. 3. Landowner plans to dip out sludge and stockpile on areas adjacent to waste treatment lagoon so that the sludge will dry out. The sludge will be land applied, at agronomic rates by a manure spreader. All sludge liquids will be diverted back into the existing lagoon until the sludge is land applied. Diversions will be installed around the sludge drying and storage area to divert clean water runoff away from the sludge stockpile and lagoon. 4. The sludge is to be applied on Mr. John T. Matthews land according to the agronomic rates specified on Attachment A, page 3, Table 2 of the "Waste Management Plan for Waste Utilization and Closure of the Abandoned C. W. Gelder Waste Treatment Lagoon". The lagoon water Is to be applied on Gelder's fields by Irrigation according to rates indicated on Attachment A, page 2 Table 1, and page 4, Table 3 of the above plan. 5. The water level In the lagoon shall be kept such that a minimum.of two feet of freeboard exists at all times. 6. According to the sludge estimate, NCDA Waste and Soil Reports, the land available, present crop, NRCS and DFM standards and specifications, it will take tuQ_c1LQw_Lng seasons to roe land apply all of the sludge. For example: If the sludges inAugust 15 to December 1, 1995, at the agronomic rates shown on Attachment A, Table 2, the second application would be applied no sooner than August 15 to December 1, 1996. If the sludge is applied February 1 to May 1, 1996, then the second application would be February 1 to May 1, 1997. • Attachment C - C. W. Gelder Waste Mgt. Plan (continued) page 2 7. Once all the stockpiled sludge has been applied, the lagoon Is to be pumped completely dry and any remaining sludge in the lagoon will be removed and land applied at agronomic rates. Once this has been completed, the dam can be breached and the material in the dam can be spread over the lagoon area. All disturbed areas will be permanently vegetated. Contact MRCS for vegetation recommendations. 8. If sludge is stockpiled off Gelder's site, surface water shall be diverted away from the sludge stockpile and the stockpile shall be covered and kept dry. This is to avoid waste water runoff into the surface waters which Is not allowed under Division of Environmental Management regulations. 9. Any waste that is hauled on public roads should be hauled such that no waste will fall on the roads or adjacent areas. 10. If conditions develop in the application of this plan such that the plan must be changed, contact DEM to get their approval before the change has started. a, ��/f• S c� o� mac' 4� �~'���9�8�� t-Ule CL,, ZCO Irwr/& d e4 ,6 Z e b � (,P/f &d ehZ-)(te bItL/-bt1) -.7�H/f. -/ ,�Jd� te" fW _ ram/ _ /s- a �4Wn7 B� QN —I v s z-)L'z z ru o11 e5) ! r �e-2 bg L PA4 .FUN-16-1995 15:17 FROM DEM [DATER QUALITY SECTION TO RRO P.01/03 Wake Soil and Water Conservation District Agiculm-Al S'crvices Building W I Carya Drive, Suite D - Raleigh.

Matthews would accept the sludge to apply on his fescue. 1 told Gelder according to our calculations he d need about 125 ac. of improved coastal bermuda, in order to get rid of the -waste at one time, right now. This amount and type of land Is not available in the area. "there are quite a number of houses nearby the site and no acceptable available fields. On June 1. 1995 Mr. Matthews Invited me to check out his place for sludge application. He hod about 60 acres available. Miriam Gardner NRCS District Conserve lonist and I checked the Matthews site out. On ,tune 13, 1995, Mr. Gelder called me. He was very Interested in getting his waste management plan as soon as possible. He told me that he had Matthews strengthen the breech pact of the dam and that some of the building demolition was underway.

NC Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources P. O. Box 29535 Raleigh, NC 27626-0535 Re: Notice of violation per 15A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1) Dear Mr. Howard: �uu gar 19 DENNR RAiE1GH REG10NAi OFFICE I have received your letter dated April 27, 1995. A copy of that letter is attached hereto for clarification. I wish to advise that I was not responsible for operating any production of hogs on my farm located in Wake County, NC. The farming operation was carried on exclusively by Lynwood Carroll who leased the premises from me. Mr. Lynwood Carroll is the gentleman who constructed the lagoon located on my land and such lagoon was placed on my land without any specific permission from me and without advising me that the lagoon was being constructed. You will note that I am a non-resident landowner. Mr. Lynwood Carroll advised me in the middle of 1994 that he was going out of the hog business and that he would not be leasing from me after the end of December, 1994. I went to the farm in January of 1995 and I noted that the lagoon itself had no real water located in it and the sludge bed, however, was wet. At that time, I thought it practical to endeavor to get the sludge bed dry so that machinery could be used to clean up the lagoon and properly dispose of the sludge that was located in the bottom of the lagoon. Unfortunately, while the drainage was taking place, very.heavy rains came on March S and 9 and a great deal of water got into the lagoon and escaped through the trench. At the time that I was trying to get the lagoon in shape to be cleaned, I was not aware that the trench violated any regulations. I am not a farmer and I am not aware of environmental health regulations. I have been in the construction business prior to my retirement and I was doing what I thought was practical in connection with making a permanent solution to a problem that I recognized. It has been a long time since I have been involved in any farming operation and the rearing of hogs which most recently took place on the farm was done by Lynwood Carroll. I am not going to lease the farm to anybody else to raise swine on the farm and I do not need a continuation of the deemed permit for the elimination of waste and no application is being made at this time. Page Two Mr. A. Preston Howard, May 17, 1995 I am interested in getting a plan to close out the facility and to clean up the problem. Yesterday, May 16, 1995, I met with Judy Garrett and Danny Smith in the Regional Office in Raleigh. I discussed your letter with them and outlined for them the same things that are enumerated in this letter. I have also met on the farm with Larry Petrovick who is with the Wake Soil and Water Conservation District relative to providing me with a plan to clean up the lagoon and the environmental problem. As soon as this plan has been completed, a copy will be sent to you for your approval prior to the time that the work is done. In the meantime, I wish to advise that the trench in the lagoon has been stopped up and there is no further seepage coming through the dam and there is no further discharge from the lagoon. I have constructed diversion ditches around the lagoon so that no additional run off water will go into the lagoon that will cause a problem. In your letter, you want to know when the trench was dug in the lagoon and the length of time that it was in place. I do not know exactly since I was in Florida, but it was sometime after the middle of January, 199S that the trench was dug in the dam and it was made deeper from time to time over a period of about six weeks. The trench in the lagoon was stopped up and the discharge was discontinued immediately on March 10 after notification by Mr. Danny Smith. Lime was also applied on any areas where any of the discharge had gone upon any adjacent lands at the direction of -Danny Smith. In every instance I have tried to cooperate in this matter and I wish to advise that I will continue to do everything possible to aid you in connection with this. Very jtruly ours, -WW• //• C. W.

Gelder in the amount of $3,282.16. A finding of fact in that civil penalty assessment, that your client owns a hog facility located on State Road 1391, 0.3 road miles south of the junction with SR 1386 in Franklin County, North Carolina, was in error. In fact, your client's hog facility is located in Wake County. Accordingly, it is my belief that my client will rescind that civil penalty. It is further my understanding that another civil penalty will thereafter be issued naming the correct county. Once you receive the order rescinding the civil penalty, I hope that you will withdraw your petition. Thank you for your consideration. c: Honorable Beecher R. Gray Harlan K.

Gelder 2853 SW Lakemont Place Palm City, FL 34990 Subject: LOSS OF DEEMED PERMITTED STATUS NOTICE OF VIOLATION NOV 95-14 As Per 15A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1) Gelder Hog Facility Wake County Dear Mr. Gelder: Animal Operations in the State have been deemed permitted by the Division of Environmental Management in accordance with Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, 2H, Rule .0217. An individual nondischarge permit is not required if certain criteria are met. A major requirement to be deemed permitted is that there must not be a discharge of my wastewater from the operation to the waters of the State. On March 10, 1995, Danny Smith from the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a site inspection of the subject facility due to a citizen's complaint. Mr. Smith observed an illegal discharge of wastewater from your lagoon flowing at an estimated rate of 4 gallons per minute to an unnamed tributary of Middle Creek (class C-NSW waters in the Neuse River basin). The cause of the discharge was a man-made trench which emptied the contents of the lagoon, some accumulated solids and storm event water from the lagoon. Mr. Snzdth contacted Mr: Clyde Marsh, who explained a trench had been dug into the lagoon berm by a backhoe in order to reduce the water level in the lagoon. This letter serves as •a Notice of Violation and notification that your animal operation has been found discharging wastewater to the surface waters of the State and is therefore no longer deemed permitted as a nondischarge facility under 15A NCAC 2H .0217. Therefore the existing wastewater treatment system serving your animal operation is currently being operated without a permit as required by North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1. P.O.

This form and a copy of your plan must be returned to: Division of Environmental Management Water Quality Section Planning Branch P.O. Box 29535 Raleigh, NC 27626-0535 Your approved animal waste management plan must explain how you will collect, store, treat and land apply your animal waste to the land in an environmentally acceptable manner. To assist you in the development of this plan and to provide the required certification that the plan is acceptable, you should contact your local agricultural agencies such as the Soil and Water Conservation District, the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service, or the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service. If you choose to close out this facility, you will also be required to submit a plan explaining how this will be accomplished. If we have not received the requested certification within 60 days of receipt of this letter or if there are additional discharges to the surface water, a civil penalty of up to $10,000 may be assessed and you may be required to apply for an individual non discharge permit from the Division. This permit, if issued, will contain monitoring and reporting requirements determined to be necessary by the Division. In addition to the receipt of your waste management plan, this office will require a written response to this Notice of Violation within 30 days of its receipt. Your response should discuss the elements of your waste management plan (including equipment, availability of land for waste application) and any repairs made to your facility. Your response mustalso specifically explain why the trench was placed in the lagoon berm and the length of time it was in place. Please send this correspondence to the attention of Judy Garrett at the Raleigh Regional Office, 3800 Barnett Drive, Suite 101, Raleigh., NC 27609. Please carefully address each of the aforementioned issues in your responses. These and other violations of North Carolina General Statutes may result in an assessment of civil penalties of up to $10, 000 per day.

Groundwater depth: unknown 19. Proximity of facility to surface waters: approximately 50 ft. 20. Was an Animal Waste Discharge occurring during the inspection.: yes, attached are photographs. The remaining photos will accompany a forthcoming Enforcement Action pending RRO's receipt 21. Are Pol. Yes, a order to "drain some of the water out of the lagoon". This man-- made conveyance was initiated during November 1994. The above information was provided to me by Mr. Clyde Marsh. Mr. Marsh'A&--. Gelder Page -3- routinely works with/for Mr. Gelder and has been the RRO's contact person thus far. It is important to understand that during the winter Mr. Gelder's residence is in Florida and during the time of the investigation he was .on vacation traveling in a Winabago in Arizona (as per Mr. Clyde Marsh). Due to Mr. Gelder not being readily available, Mr. Marsh repaired the breach in the lagoon. (I have currently not talked with Mr. Gelder) During the inspection tilie lagoon was discharging wastewater at rate of approximately 4 gal/minute to an Unnamed Tributary to Middle Creek (Class C NSW). This is a deliberate man-made conveyance. Note: I saw this discharge, and the trench that was clearly made by a back --hoe, I photographed the discharge, the trench, and the wastewater reaching surface waters. Also, Mr. Marsh admitted that the trench was placed in the lagoon berm in order to drain the lagoon (during a March 10, 1995 telephone conversation). Nutrient samples were collected by Wake's Health Department. However, neither water samples or parametric stream data was collected by RRO staff (I determined that this data was not necessary for regulatory purposes). Please call Danny Smith if you. have any questions.... 22. Was the subject discharge caused by a 25yr/24 hr storm event: The discharge was not caused by a 25yr/24hr storm event- it was man-made. Assessment Factors (1-12) 1. The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violation: Mr. C.W. Gelder owns a hog facility in Wake County on SR 1391, 0.3 road miles south junction SR 1385. Discharges of wastewater have occurred from this facility as noted in the April 1, 1991, inspection (which resulted in this facility receiving a CAFO Designation) and during the subject inspection (March 10, 1995). During the March 10, 1995, inspection, due to a man-made conveyance, wastewater containing nutrients and pathogens, were discharged in undetermined amounts to the waters of the State (Unnamed Tributary to Middle Creek - Class C NSW). Gelder Page -4- 2. The duration and gravity of the violation: During a telephone conversation on March 10, 1995, Mr. Clyde Marsh explained that the subject trench was initially placed in the lagoon berm during November 1994 in order to the reduce level of water in the lagoon. This allowed wastewater, solids that have accumulated in the lagoon, and stormwater to be discharged in undetermined amounts to the waters of the state (a Unnamed Tributary to Middle Creek). 3. The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality: The effect on water quality as a result of past discharges includes excessive additions of nutrients, particularly through nitrogen loading, and the increased potential of toxic effects from ammonia. However, due to the few compliance inspection data points, it is unclear how frequent or common such discharges were. It is the Raleigh Regional Office's belief that the occurrences of illegal discharges were in fact more frequent than indicated by the limited number of site inspections. Also, the impact to water quality is further manifested by the fact that this watershed is nutrient sensitive. 4. The cost of rectifying the damage: Correcting historic nutrient loading, dissolved oxygen demands on stream biota, contamination. of surface water with fecal coliform bacteria, and toxic impositions from ammonia is not currently possible. As a result, the unnamed tributary to Middle Creek (Class C NSW) and the stream biota therein, have to endure the increased stress associated with the receipt of poorly treated and illegally discharged wastewater. S. The amount of money saved by noncompliance: It is the RRO's belief that this facility's waste management has been a chronic problem. Effective wastewater treatment and facility stewardship is a responsibility of every animal facility. The man-made conveyance which emptied the contents of this facility's lagoon definitively indicates that Mr. Gelder, has incurred very little overhead cost regarding equipment and labor necessary for a waste management program (which Mr. Gelder's competitors endured as normal operation costs). Gelder Page --5- 6. Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally: Yes, this discharge was intentional. Mr. Gelder's business associate admitted the trench was dug in the lagoon berm in order to -lower the level of water in the lagoon. 7. The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority: April 1, 1991. - site inspection - Facility was observed to be discharging through a pipe to surface waters. June 21, 1991 - Facility received CAFO Designation July 23, 1991 Response from Mr. Jerry L. Carroll to CAFO Designation December 2, 1992 - Facility was found to be compliant March 10, 1995 - Facility observed to be discharging through trench dug by a back -hoe. 8. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures: Has not been determined at this time. 9. Type of violator and general nature of business (i.e. Individual vs. large corporation): Mr. C.W. Gelder.owns this hog facility. 10. Violators degree of cooperation (including efforts to prevent or restore) or -recalcitrance: To date I have not talked with Mr. Gelder. However, Mr. Clyde Marsh (acting for Mr. Gelder) repaired the trench in 'the lagoon berm on March 10, 1995. As per Wake County's Health Department: He will also lime and remove some accumulated solids that impacted the property of an adjoining neighbor, Mr. Walter Lasater. 11. Mitigating Circumstances: I have no mitigating comments to offer..... Gelder Page -6- 12. Assessment Factors: a) IWC: unknown b) Receiving Stream: Middle Creek Class C - NSW c) SOC/JOC status/negotiations: NA' d) Copy of MP Screen: NA e) Copy of Limits Page in Permit: NA f) Damage: y/n. Conclusion:1-4 1. Include copy of any Designation letter signed by the Director: see attached 2. Recommendations Made to Operator: Stop any and all discharges, repair the lagoon berm -- 3. Recommendation for Further DEM Action: NOV and losses of Deemed Permitted status, RRO will require receipt of subject NOV response, will likely pursue Enforcement Action, and will re -inspect. NOTE: in this attached Loss of Deemed Permitted status letter the RRO will require a the submission of waste utilization 'plan and/or a closeout plan. 4. Other Comments: If this inspection report is not clear or you need more information call Danny Smith at RRO....

The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violation: Mr. C.W. Gelder owns a hog facility in Wake County on SR 1391, 0.3 road miles south junction SR 1386. Discharges of wastewater have occurred from this facility as noted in the April 1, 1991, inspection (which resulted in this facility receiving a CAFO Designation) and during the subject inspection (March 10, 1995). During the March 10, 1995 inspection, due to a man-made conveyance, wastewater containing nutrients and pathogens, were discharged in undetermined amounts to the waters of the State (Unnamed Tributary to Middle Creek - Class C NSW). The effect on water quality as a result of this discharge includes excessive additions of nutrients, particularly through nitrogen loading, and the increased potential of toxic effects from ammonia to stream biota. In addition, this discharge is also a pathogen vector to the unnamed tributary to Middle Creek. The impact to the natural resources of the State is further manifested by the fact that this watershed is nutrient sensitive. 2. The duration and gravity of the violation: Mr. Gelder had a trench dug with a back -hoe in the lagoon berm in order to "drain some of the water out of the lagoon". As per Mr. Gelder, this man-made conveyance was initiated during mid January 1995. Assessment Factors Page -2- During the March 10, 1995 inspection the lagoon was observed to be discharging wastewater at rate of approximately 4 gal/minute to an Unnamed Tributary to Middle Creek (Class C NSW). This deliberate mah7made conveyance allowed wastewater, solids that have accumulated in the lagoon, and stormwater from the lagoon to be discharged in undetermined amounts to the waters of the state (an unnamed tributary to Middle Creek). It should be noted that as a result of the initial April 1, 1991 inspection, this facility was designated as a Concentrated Animal Feed Lot (CAFO) for a discharge through a permanently installed concrete pipe. Though not discharging, this pipe was still in place during the March 10, 1995 inspection. 3. The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality: The effect on water quality as a result of past discharges includes excessive additions of nutrients, particularly through nitrogen loading, and the increased potential of toxic effects from ammonia. However, due to the few compliance inspection data points, it is unclear how frequent or common such discharges were. It is the Raleigh Regional office's belief that the occurrences of illegal discharges were in fact more frequent than indicated by the limited number of site inspections. Also, it should be noted operation since middle of 1994. the lagoon was no longer receiving event water. that this facility was not in The animals had been removed and additional water other than rain 4. The cost of rectifying the damage: Correcting historic nutrient loading, dissolved oxygen demands on stream biota, contamination of surface water with fecal coliform bacteria, and toxic impositions from ammonia is not currently possible. As a result, the unnamed tributary to Middle Creek (Class C NSW) and the stream biota therein, have to endure the increased stress associated with the receipt of poorly treated and illegally discharged wastewater. 5. The amount of money saved by noncompliance: It is the RRO's belief that this facility's waste management has been a chronic problem. Effective wastewater treatment and facility stewardship is a responsibility of endured by every facility. The man-made conveyance which resulted in the discharge of wastewater and sludge the from the lagoon definitively indicates Assessment Factors Page -3- that Mr. Gelder initially incurred very little overhead cost regarding equipment and labor necessary for a waste management program (which Mr. Gelder's competitors endured as normal operation costs). 5. Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally: Yes, this discharge was intentional. Mr. Gelder stated in both a meeting at the RRO and in a written correspondence to the RRO (attached) that he intentionally breached the lagoon for the purpose of lowering the water (drying out the lagoon) in order.to close out the lagoon. In addition during the subject site visit Danny Smith saw the cut in the lagoon berm, observed wastewater and solids from the lagoon entering to waters of the state, and photographed the violation (see attached photos). 7. The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority: April 1, 1991 - site inspection - Facility was observed to be discharging through a pipe to surface waters. June 21, 1991 - Facility received CAFO Designation July 23, 1991 - Response from Mr. Jerry L. Carroll to CAFO Designation December 2, 1992 - Facility was found to be compliant March 10, 1995 - Facility observed to be discharging through trench dug by a back -hoe.

Costs $100.00 Total Cost $282.16 9. Type of violator and general nature of business: The violator, Mr. Gelder, is retired from the construction business and is a non-resident landowner. Mr. Gelder had leased the subject hog operation to Mr. Lynwood Carroll who notified him during the middle of 1994 that he was going out of the hog business. 10. Violators degree of cooperation or recalcitrance: Generally, Mr. Gelder and his associate Mr. Marsh were very forthcoming and helpful to regional investigators. 11. Mitigating Circumstances: -After receiving the Loss of Deemed Permitted Status letter Mr. Gelder met with Judy Garrett and Danny Smith at the RRO on May 16, 1995. During this meeting Mr. Gelder explained that the purpose for backhoe dug hole in the lagoon was to allow the water from the lagoon to drain in order to dry out the sludge in the lagoon. However, subsequent rain events further eroded the trench and allowed solids to be pushed out of the lagoon. -Also, Mr. Gelder contention is that he is not a farmer and was not aware that he was breaking any regulations. He was simply trying to fix a problem that he recognized. -Mr. Gelder is currently developing a closeout plan for the facility. 12. Assessment Factors: a. IWC: N/A b. Receiving Stream: Class C NSW C. SOC/JOC Status: N/A d. MP Screen: N/A e. Limits Page: N/A f. Damage: impacts to water quality and degradation at discharge location. II.

You stated that the lagoon had been cleaned up and that you would like some documentation saying that the cleanup had been done properly. As I mentioned to you, I was not able to schedule a visit to the site until December 4, 1995. Frank Evans, NRCS, and I visited the site as scheduled. Following is a summary of our findings and other important information. 1. The soil on the lagoon dam near the old breach point had been recently disturbed. Little vegetation was present at the old breach site. 2. Water from the upper fresh water pond had recently been diverted into the old lagoon site. This water could overtop the old lagoon site if it is not controlled. No apparent water control device or spillway was seen on the old lagoon dam. 3. We are not able to determine if the entire lagoon basin had been cleaned out properly, since water covered most of the lagoon bottom during the time of our visit. 4. It appears that sludge solids were applied to field 5. Indications of grading and chunks of sludge were present on field 5. The land had been disced at some point. Other indications include a dark soil color that was formerly AgB2. The plan stated that field 5 was to be used for applying wastewater only on existing ryegrass and native vegetation. 5. We have not received word from you, your agent or DEM as to the need to make changes in your plan after our plan presentation meeting on June 28, 1995. 6. We are not able to determine if the sludge and or wastewater was applied to the appropriate planned application sites at agronomic rates. We do not have complete information as to where the sludge is stockpiled or applied. 7. The approved waste utilization and closure plan indicates that the duration of waste disposal should take from fourteen to twenty-one months. You Indicated that the cleanup was completed In mid - November 1995. We presented the "Waste Management Plan for Waste Utilization and Closure of the C. W. Gelder Waste Treatment Lagoon" (the plan) on June 28, 1995, less than five months earlier. 50% Total Recovered Fiber/25% Posr-Consumer January 11, 1996, Letter from Larry Petrovick--page2 The plan that we presented to you, John Matthews, Danny Matthews, Danny Smith and Peggy Redmond on June 28, 1995 was the plan that you agreed to apply. Hence, Frank Evans and I cannot certify the actual waste utilization and lagoon closure was implemented according to the "Waste Management Plan for Waste Utilization and Closure of the C. W. Gelder Waste Treatment Lagoon". Sincerely, Larry Petrovick Natural Resource Conservationist cc: Frank Evans, Miriam Goner, Rick Bailey, Peggy Redmond, Edwin K.

R Page Two Mr. A. Preston Howard, Jr., P.F. May 17, 1995 I am interested in getting a plan to close out the facility and to clean up the problem. Yesterday, May 16, 1995, I met with Judy Garrett and Danny Smith in the Regional Office in Raleigh. I discussed your letter with them and outlined for them the same things that are enumerated in this letter. I have also met on the farm with Larry Petrovick who is with the Wake Soil and Water Conservation District relative to providing me with a plan to clean up the lagoon, and the environmental problem. As soon as this plan has been completed, a copy will be sent to you for your approval prior to the time that the work is done. In the meantime, I wish to advise that the trench in the lagoon has been stopped up and there is no further seepage coming through the dam and there is no further discharge from the lagoon. I have constructed diversion ditches around the lagoon so that no additional run off water will go into the lagoon that will cause a problem. In your letter, you want to know when the trench was dug in the lagoon and the length of time that it was in place. I do not know exactly since I was in Florida, but it was sometime after the middle of January, 1995 that the trench was dug in the dam and it was made deeper from time to time over a period of about six weeks. The trench in the lagoon was stopped up and the discharge was discontinued immediately on March 10 after notification by Mr. Danny Smith. Lime was also applied on any areas where any of the discharge had gone upon any adjacent lands at the direction of Danny Smith. In every instance I have tried to cooperate in this matter and I wish to advise that I will continue to do everything possible to aid you in connection with this. Very j�trruuly ours, -1[er- f C. W.

Hunt, Jr., Governor Jonathan B. Howes, Secretary A. Preston Howard, Jr., P.E., Director Mr. C. W. Gelder 2853 SW Lakernont Place Palm City, FL 34990 'V 1� C)EHNF=1 April 27, 1995 Subject: LOSS OF DEEMED PERNff= STATUS NOTICE OF VIOLATION NOV 95-14 As Per 15A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1) Gelder Hog Facility Wake County Dear Mr. Gelder. Animal Operations in the State have been deemed permitted by the Division of Environmental Management in accordance with Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, 2H, Rule .0217. An individual nondischarge permit is not required if certain criteria are met. A major requirement to be deemed permitted is that there must not be a discharge of wastewater from the operation to the waters of the State. On March 10, 1995, Danny Smith from the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a site inspection of the subject facility due to a citizen's complaint. Mr. Smith observed an illegal discharge of wastewater froin your lagoon flowing at an estimated rate of 4 gallons per minute to an unnamed tributary of Middle Creek (class C-NSW waters in the Neuse River basin). The cause of the discharge was a man-made trench which emptied the contents of the lagoon, some accumulated solids and storm event water from the lagoon. Mr. Smith contacted Mr. Clyde Marsh, who explained a trench had been dug into the lagoon berm by a backhoe in order to reduce the water level in the lagoon. This letter serves as a Notice of Violation and notification that your animal operation has been found discharging wastewater to the surface waters of the State and is therefore no longer deemed permitted as a nondischarge facility under 15A NCAC 2H .0217. Therefore the existing wastewater treatment system serving your animal operation is currently being operated without a permit as required by North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1. P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 Telephone 919-733-5083 FAX 919-733-9919 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/ 100% post -consumer paper If you wish to be reconsidered for coverage by the deemed permitted provision of the Rule, you must: I)immediately eliminate the discharge of wastewater; 2)make any modifications needed to ensure there will be no future discharges; 3)send in an approved animal waste management plan by completing the attached certification form. This form and a copy of your plan must be returned to: Division of Environmental Management Water Quality Section Planning Branch P.O. Box 29535 Raleigh, NC 27626-0535 Your approved animal waste management plan must explain how you will collect, store, treat and land apply your animal waste to the land in an environmentally acceptable manner. To assist you in the development of this plan and to provide the required certification that the plan is acceptable, you should contact your local agricultural agencies such as the Soil and Water Conservation District, the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service, or the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service. If you choose to close out this facility, you will also be required to submit a plan explaining how this will be accomplished. If we have not received the requested certification within 60 days of receipt of this letter or if there are additional discharges to the surface water, a civil penalty of up to $10,000 may be assessed and you may be required to apply for an individual non discharge permit from. the Division. This permit, if issued, will contain monitoring and reporting requirements determined to be necessary by the Division. In addition to the receipt of your waste management plan, this office will require a written response to this Notice of Violation within 30 days of its receipt. Your response should discuss the elements of your waste management plan (including equipment, availability of land for waste application) and any repairs made to your facility. Your response must also specifically explain why the trenberm and was placed in the lagoon berand the length of time it was in place. Please send this correspondence to the attention of Judy Garrett at the Raleigh Regional Office, 3800 Barrett Drive, Suite 101, Raleigh, NC 27609. Please carefully address each of the aforementioned issues in your responses. These and other violations of North Carolina General Statutes may result in an assessment of civil penalties of up to $10, 000 per day. If -you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact either Judy Garrett, Water Quality Supervisor for our Raleigh Regional Office at (919) 571- 4700 or Dianne Williams Wilburn of our Central Office staff at (919) 733-5083, ext. 232.

Therefore. this measure defines the soil's capaaty 10 hold basic cations such as calcium, magnesium and potassium as with as hydrogen, aluminum, Lien and manganese. The standard measure is termed milfequivalents (meal.) per 100 cubic centimeters (CMJ Of Sell. TheCEC at our soils may range from a high a1 =0 or more in clay and organic sills to a low of 2 or less in same sandy soils- A nigh CEC is desirable because leaching of fertilizer nutrients is less likely and hghef reserve quantities can be maintained thus assuring an adequate supply throughout the growing season. The CEC is not a fixed value but will vary from time to time as the pH changes and as organic matter is added or decdmpasss.

The higher the base saturation the higher the plant nutrient supply and the less acidity present to interfere with plant growth. Ac - !Acidity-meti.000cmi): This is the quanti- lative portion of the CEC occupied by acidity factors, mostly hydrogen and aluminum. The unit of measure is the same as that used in the CEC and is used to calculate the amount of lime needed.

Values greater than 166 will be indicated as 166+. K-I fPoM55ya] fnrWxl. This value. like that for P. is an index. However. in Wntrost to P. the index may exceed 166- Values greater man t00 generally are of little concern in gauging the rate of potassium fertilizer needed but the total quantity contributes to the CEC and SS values- Ca- (Calcium-, of CECP Calcium is an essential plant nutrient but. because calcium is the primary ingredient of limestone which is used to control acil it will seldom be low enough In most sells to cause a deficiency. Since calcium is usually present in large quantities, it occupies a larger percentage of the CEC Yuan does magnesium and potassium. Consequently, the calcium detemdnation is essential in order to establish the CEC as well as the relationship between calcium and the other nutrient cations. i a-% Wacnesium-% of CEC(: The magnesium level is expressed as a percentage of the CEC. The amount of magnesium found by sill test relative to the amount of calcium, potassium and the acid fraction of the CEC influences the actual quantity of magnesium needed.
