Skvada, I II Secretary December 31, 2014 Subject: Compliance Inspection Animal Waste Handling System Small Acres Dairy — Facility # 45-7 Haywood County On December 17, 2014, I conducted a routine Compliance Inspection of the animal waste handling system for the Small Acres Dairy. The records were in good order with the exception of not having any lease agreements. Signed lease agreements should be acquired and submitted to this office. The pump system installed in the drop box at the upper end of the facility near the silage pit cannot handle Large volumes of water when rain storms occur. Also, debris can get caught in the pump mechanism causing it to fail. Currently you are milking 350 cows, but about 410 are in the CAFO contributing to a high volume of waste. This office sent you a letter dated December 12, 2014 discussing the high levels of bacteria, ammonia, nitrates, and phosphorous in samples taken below your dairy. A requirement of that letter is that you hire an environmental consultant to determine where the contaminants are originating and a plan of action to rectify the problem.. Thank you for your assistance during the inspection. If you have any questions regarding this inspection or need assistance of any kind, please do not hesitate to contact me at (828) 2964500. Please review the Inspection Report for additional comments/observations.

The pump system installed in the drop box at the'upper end of the facility near the silage pit cannot handle large volumes when rain storms occur. Also, debris can get caught in the pump mechanism causing it to fail. Currently milking 350 cows, but about 410 are in the CAFO contributing to high volume of waste. As part of the 2012 settlement agreement, quarterly samples are required to be taken upstream and downstream of the small tributary draining the farm property. Results from all samples taken since 2012 show very elevated level of bacteria, ammonia, nitrates, and phosphorous. page: 1 Permit: NCA345007 Owner - Facility : Michael R Com Facility Number: 450007 Inspection Date: 12117/14 Inpsection Type: Compliance Inspection Reason for Visit: Routine Regulated Operations Design Capacity Current promotions Cattle Q�aWelk Cow 250 350 Total Design Capacity: 250 Total SSLW: 350,000 Waste Structures Disignated Observed Type Identifier Closed Date Start Date Freeboard Freeboard Waste Pond LIQUIDS WSP 21.60 38.00 Waste Pond SOLIDS WSP 19.50 page: 2 • Pennif: NCA345007 Owner - Facility : Michael R Com Facility Number. 450007 Inspection Date: 12/17/14 Inpsection Type: Compliance Inspection Reason for Visit: Routine Discharges & Stream Impacts Yes No Ka No 1.

Your record keeping needs improvement. Outlined below are some of the deficiencies observed in the record keeping. 1. Your waste application records were not complete. Specifically, the SLUR -2 PAN balances have not been calculated. 2. The crop yields form was not flied out 3. The stocking form was not filled out 4. You need a waste analysis to cover all application events. Waste samples can be collected 60 days prior to or 60 days after application. The liquids pond is close to being within storm storage level. There is approximately 10" freeboard before pond overflows spillway. Since more rain is expected, a follow-up visit will be conducted during the week of January 4, 2009. Whenever the pond goes into storm storage level (when the level goes above the staff gage marker) this office roust be notified immediately. In order to minimize the amount of rainwater entering the liquid storage pond, efforts should be made such as guttering to divert rainwater away from pond. It is recommended that you contact the Buncombe County Soil and Water Conservation District for technical assistance. A copy of the inspection report with additional comments is attached for your records and review. Thank -you for your assistance during the inspection.

H. Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality On November 25, 2008, 1 conducted a routine compliance inspection of the Small Acres Dairy. Although the record keeping system continues to improve, you still have several issues that need to be addressed. 1- Your waste application records were not complete. Specifically, the IRR -2 and SLUR -2 PAN balances have not been calculated. 2. A waste level marker should be installed in the solids/slurry pond. 3. Waste application equipment has not been calibrated. 4. You need a waste analysis to cover all application events. Waste samples can be collected 60 days prior to or 60 days after application. A small amount of milky colored water was observed in a drainage ditch adjacent to the calf barn. Although the discharge did not reach surface waters, it should be investigated and stopped to prevent possible discharge to surface waters. The improvements that you have made to the spray irrigation field are greatly appreciated and the field looks the best that it has in a number of years. Thank you for your efforts.

Sullins, Director Division of Water duality Subject: Complaint Investigation Animal Waste Handling System Small Acres Dairy — Facility # 45-7 Henderson County This letter is to summarize the results of a complaint investigation that I conducted on June 20, 2008. The investigation was the result of a complaint received by our office alleging inadequate buffers with regard to land application of animal waste on a field adjacent to River Oak subdivision The distance I measured from the application area to the closest residence was 70 feet. Your permit requires you to maintain a 200 foot buffer from the application area to residences. I would recommend that in the future you put out pin flags to ensure that you do not encroach on the required buffers due to the close proximity of neighbors. Please disk in or apply lime to the section of application area that encroached on the residence as soon as possible. Please respond within 15 days of the receipt of this letter, outlining the steps you are taking to correct this problem. Refer to the attached inspection report (inspection Summary Page 2) for additional comments.

We appreciate the time and effort you are investing in managing animal waste generated at Small Acres Dairy. We did observe that a liquid level gauge has been installed in the liquid storage pond. Thanks! You need to sample and analyze both animal waste applied to the fields and soil taken from those fields. Additionally you need to maintain waste application records. In order to position yourself to pump waste from your ponds I suggest that you go ahead and fill in the low areas in the spray field below your animal waste ponds and remove the accumulated debris. I am telling you the obvious when I suggest that you make arrangements to make use of land across Jeffress Road as a spray field. 2090 U& Highway 70, Swannanoa, North Carolina 28778 Telephone 828-2964500 FAX 828-299-7043 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper June 30, 2004 Mr. Mike Corn Page 2 If plans for reorganization proceed, your contact after July 3 of this year, with the Division of Water Quality will be Beverly Price.

You are doing a fine job of managing the animal waste generated on your farm. You are keeping the waste out of the streams and making beneficial use of the waste as a nutrient and soil conditioner. I appreciate you attempting to remove the groundhogs, which have gotten into the dikes creating your animal waste lagoons. I may be worried about nothing but I can't help but visualize a dike failing as a result of a groundhog burrow reaching from one face to the other. You are not maintaining waste application records. Neither are you sampling waste or soil for analysis. Yours would be a perfect animal waste management program if you were in compliance with the record keeping requirements of your Certificate of Coverage. I appreciate you taking the time to accompany me on my inspection. If you need to talk about any of the issues raised in this letter please call me at 828-251-6208. pnScerely, y avis Environmental Engineer Enclosure xc: Bob Carter Jeff Young of Visit , p Compliance Inspection p Operation Review p forvsit p Routine p Complaint p Follow up p Emergency Notification p Other 13 Denied Access Facility !Number Date of Visit: 41181-2002 'Time: 1 4900 p Not Operwa-MG-n-aT-0 HelowThresho E Permitted ■ Certified p Conditionally Certified p Registered Date Last Operated or Above Threshold:. ....................

You are doing a good job of managing the - animal waste generated on your farm. Likewise, I very much appreciate the fine job you are doing in terms of record keeping. Like everyone else I am talking to, the unusually cold winter we are experiencing is causing you all kinds of problems. You indicated that some of the fields you apply animal waste to in the summer do not appear on your Waste Utilization. Plan. I have spoken to Bob Carter regarding updating your Plan: He is more than willing to help you but you must request hzs'assistance. I encourage you to go ahead and take care of your plan modification before summer. I understand that Waste Utilization Plans prepared after May of 2001 must be prepared to meet a different nutrient requirement than your present Plan. This may be another reason to go ahead immediately with Plan modification. I am particularly concerned about the numerous ground hog burrows we saw on the face of the dike forming your two animal waste lagoons. Loss of either dike would be devastating to your dairy not to mention nearby surface waters. You have several options to removing the ground hogs. This time of year, while the animals are dormant, about all you can do to remove them �A NCDENR Water Quality Section, 50 Woodfin Place Asheville, NC 28809-2414 Telephone: 8281251-5208 Customer Service Fax: 8281259-6452 9 80013237748 t .. Mike Corn January 16, 2 0 O 1 Page Two would be to use exhaust gasses from an internal combustion Engine. Later in the spring when they emerge, you have other options including live trapping. You need to move immediately to come up with a plan to remove the animals now or as soon as they become active in the spring. Ron Lance at the North Carolina Arboretum is very knowledgeable in these matters and would be willing to advise you. Ron may be reached at 828-665- 2492_ I encourage you to give Ron a call According to our records you have not yet paid the annual fee required to secure renewal of your Operator's Certification. If you have not already done so, please submit a check in the amount of $10.0 0 made out to the WPCSOCC to WPCSOCC, 1618 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699--1618. Please show your Certification Number B 20934 on your check. I appreciate you taking the time to accompany me on my inspection_ If you need to talk about any of the issues raised in this letter please call me at 828-251-6208. Sincerely, Roy M.

You are doing an excellent job of managing the animal waste generated by the Small Acres herd in such a way as to prevent animal waste from entering State's surface waters and to make beneficial use of nutrients. l really appreciate what you are doing. You are doing a fine job of record keeping. I noticed that the fields across Jeffress Road identified as WAR -1, WAR -2, WAR - 3, WAR -4, WAR -5 and WAR -6 and the pasture behind Overlook Farm do not appear in the Waste Utilization Plan. It would be in order to seek modification of your approved Waste Utilization Plan to incorporate these additional fields. Additionally, soil from the Research Station field and soil from the pasture behind Overlook farm have not been sampled. Please remember to -record all forms of nitrogen applied to fields which are approved for animal waste disposal in your Waste Utilization Plan and not just nitrogen from animal waste. 59 Woodfn Place, Asheville North Carolina 28801 Telephone 528-251-6208 FAX 87S-251-6452 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/I0% post -consumer paper Mike Corn October 9, 2000 Page Two Again, thank you for the job you .are doing managing the animal waste generated at Small Acres.

Fletcher, North Carolina 26732 Dear Mr. Corn, MOORESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE Division of Soil and Water ConseWqtion November 19, 1999 p Np�,� SUBJECT: Operation Review Notice of Small Acres Dairy Facility No. 45-7 Henderson County On November 16, an Operation Review was conducted of Small Acres Dairy, facility no. 45-7. This Review, undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-215.1OD, is one of two visits scheduled for all registered livestock operations during the 1999 calendar year. During the Review, it was noted that the waste storage pond was within the structural freeboard. Since 1 =` failure to maintain adequate storage and freeboard in waste holding ponds is illegal, your operation along with supporting documentation was referred to the Division of Water Quality for further investigation and possible enforcement action. G. S. 143-215.1Oh requires me to notify the Division of �- Water Quality and the owner/operator of this observed violation. It is imperative that this problem be eliminated immediately. You are strongly encouraged to contact =`y_R your certified technical specialist for help. You may also want to contact your local Soil and Water ` Conservation District Office since they may be able to provide you with additional technical and/or financial assistance to implement corrective best management practices. - Please remember that in order for your facility to be in compliance with environmental regulations, animal waste cannot be discharged into the waters of the State, and the animal waste collection, x treatment, storage and disposal systems must be properly sized, maintained and operated under the J responsible charge of a certified operator. The Division of Soil and Water Conservation appreciates your cooperation with this Operation Review. - Please do not hesitate to call me at 704/663-1699 ext. 276 if you have any questions, concerns or need r additional information.

I concluded that you are doing a"good job of managing the animal waste being generated by your dairy. Beneficial use is being made of the animal waste in that it is being applied to agricultural land for utilization of the nutrients. It was however noted during the inspection that soil and waste are not being sampled and analyzed and records of waste application are not being kept. The Waste Utilization Plan for the Small Acres Farm recommends both the sampling and analysis of waste and the maintenance of application records. These activities must be performed if information is to be available to allow avoiding over application of animal waste. I would like for you to go ahead and install liquid level marker stakes in the two lagoons. Technical assistance is available to assist you in establishing the various liquid levels.

All of you are doing a good job of managing the animal waste being generated on your farms. You have built good systems capable of keeping animal waste out of streams on your property; you are making beneficial use of the water and nutrients resulting from operation of your systems; and the land receiving water/nutrients is being managed in such a way that it will continue to serve over the long term. Given that I have just inspected the animal waste management system on your farm I will probably not be back on your place for a few months unless I receive a call from you or am just in the area. There are a few things that I would like to encourage all of you to do in preparation for my next visit. Have a copy of your Waste Utilization Plan available, know the certification number of your Certified Operator, test your soil and waste in accordance with your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan and have the results of those analyses available. I know how you guys hate messing with paper but you have done all the hard work, so all I am asking you to do is tie up a few loose ends. Some of you have done some testing of your animal waste and soil. If you are not testing the soil and animal waste in accordance with your Waste Utilization Plan, you do not know whether you are applying too much, too little or just the right amount of nutrients. Principles of good fiscal management make it necessary for you to do this testing in order to optimize crop production on the one hand and on the other to insure that you are not INTERCHANGE BUILDINO, ES WOOa FIN PLACE, ASHEVILLE, NC 28601-2414 PONE 928-251-6209 FAX 628-253-6452 AN EQUAL OPPO"I p4gTY/AFFIRMATIV; ACTION EMPLOYER - 509E RECTCLED/10% POST-CONiUMER PAP[R c- William Johnston November 24, 1998 Page Two wasting nutrients through application in excess of crop needs. If you make it a practice to apply commercial fertilizers on the same land which receives your animal waste, then it becomes doubly necessary that you test both soil and animal waste to insure that you are not buying unnecessary nutrients. Lastly, if you are applying nutrients in excess of crop needs then you could be contaminating groundwater with those nutrients applied in excess. Nitrates would be the nutrient of primary concern in this instance. Attached is a copy of the report resulting from my recent inspection. I appreciate your time and I enjoyed meeting all of you. If you need to discuss any facet of your animal waste management program I encourage you to call me at 828 -251 -6208 - Sincerely, 1 Roy M. avis Environmental Engineer Enclosure TAPROOTL.98 Division of hod and Wr Louservation - Uperation Keviewv 13 Division of Soil and Water Conservation - Compliance Inspection 9 Division of Water Quality - Compliance Inspection p Other Agency - Operation Review :. p :: p O 0 .... .... . ...... . ..... . __ . s :aii.' :; ; 1,3; . .. , ® 24 hr.
