"I1OREtVItL[ REGIONAL OFFICE
In accordance with House Bill 1160, our Divisions have been directed by the Department to develop an
inventory and ranking for all inactive lagoons in the state.
As you are aware, a draft list of inactive facilities has been compiled and submitted to you for review.
Please complete your review as quickly as possible and fax the updated list to Sonya Avant. Our central
office staff will be sending a copy of the attached letter to each of these facilities to advise them of your
pending site visits. After the initial mailing, the DWQ staff in each Regional Office will be responsible
for mailing out a copy of this Certified letter to the owners of any additional facilities that are identified
by either of our staffs.
Prior to your going to one of these sites, you must make an effort to contact the landowner or the
producer. If we have a phone number for the owner or operator, you must attempt to contact them
before you do the site visit. If contact is made, you should try to schedule a time that is acceptable to
them.
If contact cannot be made by DWQ staff or they are unable to work out a reasonable inspection schedule
with the landowner or producer, the DWQ staff should proceed to enter the site to conduct the site
review in accordance with House Bill 1160. All effort to contact the landowner or producer must be
documented.
The Division of Soil and Water Conservation {DS&WC} staff can only enter sites with the permission of
the owners or when accompanied by a DWQ staff member. If contact can not be made or approval can
not be obtained, the DS&WC staff must refer these sites to the DWQ Regional Supervisor. The
DS&WC staff will provide documentation of all effort to make contact and receive approval for a site
visit from the landowner or producer. The DWQ Regional Supervisor will then either arrange for a
DWQ staff person to accompany the DS&WC staff person during the site visit or arrange for the site to
be evaluated by DWQ staff.

Procedures for Visits to Inactive lagoon Sites
Page 2
Once DWQ and/or DS&WC staff gets to "a site (whether or no'. you were able to previously contact the
landowner or producer), you must always attempt to contact the landowner, the producer or some onsite
representative. If contact is made, you should show -them your identification and give thena a copy of the
attached letter to explain the purpose of your visit. The contacted person should be encouraged to
accompany you during the visit.
You should always proceed very carefully during site visits due to the fact that the sites will often have
high vegetation and low visibility. All staff is encouraged to work in pairs on these sites due to potential
hazards and potential for confrontations.
If the site is posted with "No Trespassing" signs neither the DWQ staff nor the DS&WC staff may go on
the site without approval. You should continue your efforts to make contact with the landowner or the
producer to gain permission to enter the site. You can hopefully do this either at the site by phone or by
contacting people at nearby homes. You can also do this by phone after you return to the office. if there
are signs of major problems with a lagoon, your should contact the Central Office staff for further
guidance. For sites with major problems, the next step could be for DWQ staff or DS&WC staff to
obtain an administrative search warrant to enter the site.
If someone confronts you during your site visit, you should show him or her your identification and
attempt to explain the reason that you are on the site. Explain to them the efforts you made to contact
someone before the visit and show them a copy of the attached letter. If they still ask you to leave the
site, please do so immediately. Please do not argue with them or cause any kind of conflict. Once you
are off the site, please contact the Central Office staff and a plan for future action will be developed.
Please also leave the site immediately if a facility representative who is accompanying you during the
site visit becomes confrontational.
We are also attaching a copy of the forms to be used to conduct these evaluations along with instruction
sheets. With your help we have been able to make needed updates from the initial drafts and we now
have a form that should serve us will during this process. We are currently working on modifications to
the FileMake Pro database that will allow you to enter the results of your evaluations directly into the
tracking systems in the same way you currently do your regular visits to active sites. We will let you
know as soon as the database modifications are complete. Until then, please keep all completed forms in
the region office.
We greatly appreciate your efforts to accomplish this new legislative initiative and hope that the above
guidance will be helpful to you. If there is a need for any additional information or clarification, please
do not hesitate to contact Carroll Pierce, Dennis R. Ramsey or us.
