Facility No. 11-10
Buncombe County
Dear Mr. Wells:
Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director
Division of Water Quality
r3.
On August 26, 2005 Beverly Price of the Division of Water Quality's Asheville Regional Office conducted a routine
compliance inspection of the waste handling system for the Aubrey N. Wells Farm. A copy of the inspection with
additional comments is attached for your records and review. Although the waste handling system and other farm
operations appeared in good condition, the record keeping system needs improvement.
Ms. Price noted that your waste records were not complete. Specifically, the waste pond freeboard levels are not
recorded. The waste levels should be recorded on a weekly basis. Failure to do so is a violation of your General
Permit. Please respond to this office within 15 days of receipt of this notice indicating what measures you have
taken to address this violation.
In addition, the revised State General Permit contains new documentation requirements. Please ensure that the
following items are also documented: 1) 120 Minute spray irrigation inspections, 2) Rainfall, 3) Crop yields, 4)
Stocking records, 5) Waste pond inspections after a greater than one inch rainfall event and monthly waste pond
inspections, 6) Waste application equipment should also be calibrated once within the first two years after
issuance of the COC and then at least once every two years thereafter, 7) Weather codes. A rain gauge must
also be installed. It is recommended that you contact the Buncombe County Soil & Water Conservation District for
assistance with calibration of your waste application equipment.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Beverly Price at (828) 296-
4500. Enclosed you will find copies of approved forms for your use.

Animal Waste Management Plan
Aubrey N. Wells Dairy - #11-10
Buncombe County
On April 19, 2001, I conducted a routine on-site inspection of
animal waste management system for'the Aubrey N. Wells Dairy Farm. The
inspection showed that the farm was deficient in its compliance with
the approved animal waste management pian for this farm. A copy of the
inspection report is attached for your review.
Specifically, requirements are that waste analysis be performed
within 60 days of land application so as to correctly identify and
calculate plant available nitrogen (PAN) for each crop. Your records
showed that the latest waste analysis was conducted on August 3, 2000,
with land application on at least three (3) separate occasions
following that date which were outside of the 60 day analysis window.
Nitrogen data used for plant available nitrogen (PAN) calculations were
not current to the waste being applied and consequently, PAN
determinations were inaccurate. Additionally, the inspection indicated
that commercial fertilizer used on corn was not factored into the PAN
determinations. Please take steps to correct this deficiency as soon as
possible.
