Medford Farm Facility No. 44-58 Haywood County Dear Mr. Medford: On December 7, 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 Frank D. Medford Farm. The farm appeared to be well maintained but record keeping issues remain. The inspection revealed no waste analyses have been collected so far in 2005. This is a violation of your certified animal waste management plan and the General Permit #AWG200000 (Condition 111.5.). The waste application records were not complete. Specifically, the IRR -2 and SLD -2 forms were not completed and therefore did not include Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) calculations. This is a violation of General Permit #AWG200000 (Condition III -6.) Please respond to this office within 15 days of receipt of this notice indicating what measures you have taken to address this violation. As a reminder, the State General Permit revised and reissued in 2004 includes the following documentation requirements: 1) weather conditions at time of application, 2) 120 minute spray irrigation inspections, 3) rainfall events, 4) waste pond inspections after a greater than one inch rainfall and monthly, 5) monthly stocking records, 6) calibration of waste application equipment. It is recommended that you contact the Haywood County Soil & Water Conservation District for assistance with calibration of waste application equipment. t4" Carolina urldly North Carolina Division of Water Quality — Asheville Regional Office 2090 U.S. Highway 70 Swarmanoa, NC 28776 Phone (828) 296-4500 Aguifct Protection Section FAX (828) 299-7043 Customer Service 1-877-623-6748 Internet h2o.enr.state.nc us An Equal OpportundylAffumative Action Employer— 50% Regcled/10% Post Consumer Paper Mr. Medford December 22, 2005 Page 2 If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Beverly Price at (828) 296-4500.
