Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Compliance Inspection
Notla Dairy
Facility No. 20-1
Cherokee County
Dear Mr. Shields:
On October 27, 2004, Bev Price of the Division of Water Quality's Asheville Regional Office conducted a routine
compliance inspection of the waste handling system for the Notla Dairy. Although the waste handling system
appeared to be in excellent condition, the record keeping system needs improvement.
The waste pond freeboard levels are not being recorded. This is a violation of the General Permit. The waste levels
should be recorded on a weekly basis. Please respond to this office within 15 days of receipt of this notice
indicating what measures you have taken to address this violation.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Bev Price at (828) 296-
4500.
Sincerely
G Landon Davidson P.G.
Regional Aquifer Protection Supervisor
