Subject: Compliance Inspection
B.G. Looper & Sons
Facility 4,140003
Caldwell County
Dear Mr. Looper:
On August 20, 2015 I -conducted a routine compliance inspection of the waste handling system for the B.G. Looper &
Sons Farm. The facility was found to be in compliance with the permit. Overall, the waste handling system appeared to
be in good condition and well maintained
You are required to maintain lease agreements for all leased fields. There are still 3 fields that do not have lease
agreements.
As a reminder, soils analyses are now required every 3 years. Any fields sampled in 2013 will be due again in 2016.
Additionally, your calibrations are due by December 31, 2015.
Please refer to the attached inspection report for additional comments. Your and Wesley's assistance was appreciated
during the inspection. If you have any questions, please contact me at (828)2964685.
Sincerely,
Beverly P

Caldwell County
Dear Mr. Looper:
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
On August 12, 2014 1 conducted a routine compliance inspection of the waste handling system for the
B.G. Looper & Sons Farm. The facility was found to be in compliance with the permit. Overall, the
waste handling system appeared to be in good condition and well maintained.
However, there are a few issues that should be addressed:
1. The Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) was updated in March 2014 but rye grass was not included in
the crop rotation. Please update the WUP.
2. You are required to rdaintain lease agreements for all leased fields.
3. Tract 2117 Field 43 had an over application of PAN by 12 pounds. Although this was a one- time
occurrence, you should ensure that nitrogen applications adhere to the requirements in the WUP.
As a reminder, you are required to keeps records for 3 years. Soils analyses are required every 3 years.
Fields samples collected in 2012 will be due again in 2015.
Please refer to the attached inspection report for additional comments
concerning this Notice, please contact me at [phone].

Dear Mr. Looper:
On June 26, 2008, Ed Williams and I conducted a routine compliance inspection of the waste handling system for
the B.G. Looper & Sons Farm. Overall, the waste handling system appeared to be in good condition and well
maintained.
Your application equipment was last calibrated in November 2005. Your permit requires calibration every two
years. Please ensure that you get your equipment calibrated before the end of this year.
Your assistance and that of Wesley & Dixie Looper was greatly appreciated during the inspection. Please see the
enclosed inspection report (inspection Summary Page 1) for additional comments and observations. If I can be of
any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me at (828) 296 -4685 -
Sincerely,
Beverly Price

B.G. Looper & Sons
Facility No. 14-3
Caldwell County
Dear Mr. Looper:
On June 20, 2007, 1 conducted a routine compliance inspection of the waste handling system for the B.G. Looper &
Sons Farm. Overall, the waste handling system appeared to be in good condition and well maintained.
Trees, shrubs and weeds should be removed from lagoon/settling basin embankments and a protective vegetative
cover should be established and maintained. Vegetative cover for dam embankments should consist of a suitable
growth of grass. Bare embankment slopes are susceptible to erosion. Tree and brush growth on embankments is
also undesirable, as it provides cover for burrowing animals; prevents a thorough inspection of the embankment;
provides an avenue for seepage as roots decay; and if trees tip over during windstorms, the loss of soil around the
root mass can compromise the integrity of the embankment.
We request that a technical specialist conduct an evaluation of the above referenced issues. Please submit the
findings of this evaluation to the Regional Office. For technical assistance, contact the Caldwell County Soil and
Water Conservation District at 828/758-1111.
Your assistance and that of Wesley & Dixie Looper was greatly appreciated during the inspection. Please see the
enclosed inspection report (inspection Summary Page 2) for additional comments and observations. If I can be of
any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,,

conducted a routine compliance inspection of the waste handling system for the B.G. Looper & Sons Farm.
Overall, the waste handling system appeared to be in good condition and well maintained.
Trees, shrubs and other woody vegetation should be removed from lagoon/storage pond embankments and a
protective vegetative cover should be established and maintained. Vegetative cover for dam embankments should
consist of a suitable growth of grass. Bare embankment slopes are susceptible to erosion. Tree and brush growth
on embankments is also undesirable, as it provides cover for burrowing animals; prevents a thorough inspection of
the embankment; provides an avenue for seepage as roots decay; and if trees tip over during windstorms, the loss
of soil around the root mass can compromise the integrity of the embankment. For technical assistance, contact
the Caldwell County Soil and Water Conservation District at 828/758-1111.
The assistance of Wesley Looper was greatly appreciated during the inspection. Please see the enclosed
inspection report for additional comments and observations. If I can be of any assistance to you, please do not
hesitate to contact me at [phone].
Sincerely, ,
Beverly Price

Dear Mr. Looper:
On August 9, 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 S.G. Looper & Sons Farm. Although the waste
handling system appeared to be in good condition, the record keeping system needs improvement.
Your IRR -1 and SLUR -1 data is recorded but it should be documented on the IRR -1 and SLUR -1 forms. The
following items also require documentation: 1) 120 minute spray irrigation inspections, 2) Weather codes for
application events, 3) Waste pond inspections after a 1" rainfall and monthly waste pond inspections, 4) Stocking
records 5) Calibration of waste application equipment, 6) Sludge survey.
The assistance of Wesley Looper was greatly appreciated during the inspection. A copy of the inspection report is
enclosed. If I can be of any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,,

Dear Mr. Looper:
On July 30, 2012 1 conducted a routine compliance inspection of the waste handling system for the B.G. Looper & Sons
Farm. The facility was found to be in compliance with the permit. Overall, the waste handling system appeared to be in good
condition and well maintained.
As a reminder, your application equipment is due for calibration before the end of the year as the last calibration was
conducted in 2010. Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) should be updated to reflect the current crop rotations and the removal of
tobacco from the plan.
Your assistance and that of John Looper was greatly appreciated during the inspection. Please see the enclosed inspection report
(Inspection summary Page 2) for additional comments and observations. If I can be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to
contact me at (828) 2964685.
Sincerely,
Beverly Price
