Inspection Report
Shadow Lane Farm, Facility #: 90-32
Union County, NC
Dear Mr. Porter:
A site inspection of your facility was conducted on August 5, 1997 by Mr. Alan Johnson of
this Office. It was observed that a small amount of seepage was discharging from a plugged pipe in
the lagoon adjacent to the buildings. This needs to be addressed by the technician developing your
farm plan. The trees and shrubs on the sides of the lagoons also need to be cut.
You should expect another operation review within the next month or two to be performed by
the Division of Soil and Water. The shrubs and overgrowth should be cut prior to this review so that
a proper inspection can be performed.
Any further correspondence related to the subject inspection will be sent under separate
cover. Also, please be advised that North Carolina General Statutes provide for penalties of up to
$10,000 per day per violation as well as criminal penalties for violations of state environmental laws
and regulations. If you have any questions concerning this report, please do not hesitate to contact
Mr. Johnson or me at [phone].

Re: Animal Waste Management Certification Renewal
Certificate Holder: Joseph H. Porter
County: Union
Dear Mr. Porter:
NCDENR
Senate Bill 1217, enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1996, states "a certificate holder who fails to
renew their certificate and pay the renewal fee within 30 days of its expiration shall be required to take and pass the
examination for certification in order to renew the certificate".
You were mailed an invoice in October 2000 notifying you that your certificate would expire December 31, 2000, and
that a $10.00 annual renewal payment was due by that date. The 30-day grace period ended January 30, 2001. Since
your payment was not received, your certificate expired effective December 31, 2000. Therefore, you do not possess a
valid animal waste management certificate. Please note that without a valid certificate, law prohibits you from
performing the duties of an Operator in Charge of an animal waste management system.
The next available opportunity to retake the Animal Waste Management System Operators certification examination
will be June 14, 2001. An examination application is enclosed for your use. Please note that a completed examination
application must be postmarked 30 days prior to the examination that you wish to take. If you did not intend to renew
your animal waste management certificate or do not wish to get recertified, you may disregard this letter and your
animal waste management system operators certification will remain invalid.
Please call Beth Buffington at 919-733-0026, extension 313, if you have any questions regarding this matter.

This is to acknowledge receipt of your request that your facility no longer be registered as an animal waste
management system per the terms of 15A NCAC 2H .0217. The information you provided us indicated that your
operation's animal population does not exceed the number set forth by 15A NCAC 2H .0217, and therefore does not
require registration for a certified animal waste management plan.
Under 15A NCAC 2H .0217, your facility is deemed permitted if waste is properly managed and does not
reach the surface waters of the state. Any system determined to have an adverse impact on water quality may be
required to obtain a waste management plan or an individual permit. You are reminded that a discharge of wastes to
the surface waters of the state will subject you to a civil penalty up to $10,000 per day.
Should you decide to increase the number of animals housed at your facility beyond the threshold limits
listed below, you will be required to receive approval from the Division of Water Quality prior to stocking animals
to that level. Threshold numbers of animals are as follows:
Swine
250
Confined Cattle
100
Horses
75
Sheep
1,000
Poultry with a liquid wastes stem
30,000

Subject: Site Inspection
Shadow Lane Farm, Facility #: 90-32
Union County, NC
Dear Mr. Porter:
Mr. Alan Johnson of this office has been asked on several occasions about the
appropriate time and proper method to take soil and waste samples. Also, during his
inspections, he has noticed that while the storage capacity may be adequate in the
storage pond/lagoon, in some cases it was not at the level set forth in the waste
utilization plan. Mr. Johnson has also noted that some animal operations using
hay/pasture systems do not appear to be properly managing the hay crop in the waste
application fields. This letter is to highlight some concerns and provide some
general guidance for the animal facilities regarding the management of the storage
pond/lagoon and waste application fields. For more specific/detailed information,
please contact your technical specialist or your local agricultural extension service.
Be advised that should a farm be found violating its farm plan and/or have an
unpermitted discharge, besides facing civil penalties, the facility could be required to
apply for an individual permit. Currently, most farms are operating under a general
permit.
t•• mAe applicati2ns
Just as you manage the animals at your facility, proper management of the
waste (lagoon/storage pond level) is important. The waste must be pumped from the
ponds at the correct time and provide for maximum utilization of the nutrients by the
crop. Remember, waste application rates in your farm plan are based on agronomic
principles, and assumes the waste will be applied when the nutrients are required
(e.g., applying waste to corn at tasseling or bermuda grass in November is of little
use for the uptake of nitrogen). Also, the established application rate assumes that
the previous crop has been removed from the field.

Face 2
Grass and small grain crops grown for hay should be harvested in a timely manner. To
maximize nutrient uptake, as indicated in the waste utilization plan, and for highest quality, the
crop should be harvested at early boot stage (generally every 4 to 5 weeks). Small gain for
silage can be harvested in the soft dough stage when direct cut. Contact your agricultural
extension agent or technical specialist for proper guidance.
eneral Recommendations f r Nitrogen A lication for Common Crops:
• Small Grains: One-third (1/3) N at planting and remainder in late February or early
March.
• Corn/Sorghum: For facilities that pump and haul, N should be applied prior to planting.
For those facilities that irrigate, a split application with half at planting and the remainder
when the corn is 18 inches high.
• Fescue/Orchardgrass: Apply one-half (1/2) of the N in mid -February to March and one-
half (1/2) in mid -August to September.
• Bermuda grass: Establishing: 30 to 40 lbs N/ac at planting and 30 to 601bs N/ac when
runners appear (6 -8 wk. after planting). Maintaining: 50 to 60 lbs N/ac in April and the
remainder of the recommended amount in equal increments in June and July or after each
cutting.
Finally, there have been instances where the amount of waste pumped (as shown in the
waste application records) from the lagoon/storage pond does not appear to agree with the
amount of waste produced by the animals. One would expect on an annual basis that the amount
pumped would be approximately equal to the amount being produced. For example, if a dairy is
generating 453,000 gaE/yr in waste, then approximately 453,000 gallons of waste should be
accounted for in the waste application records over a year. However, there may be some
difference due to how low the storage pond was pumped, the number of cows being held in the
facility, or the amount of rainfall.
Soil analysis (FREE)
Fifteen to twenty (15 to 20) soil samples per field (20 acres or less) is desirable. The
samples should be thoroughly mixed and sent in as one sample. Each sample should be pulled 4
inches deep for pastures and no -till systems and 8 inches deep for conventional tillage systems.
Taking samples during the fall is advisable_ The state lab is not as busy at that time and
can provide a more timely twin around with the results. This is also a good time to apply lime if
recommended by the soil test. When liming is necessary, it is important that it be applied as
suggested. Maintaining proper soil pH is as important (if not more so) than fertilizing to
maximize crop production.

Page 3
Waste sam s anal sis ($4/sample)
The state lab now has the capability to conduct analyses and provide the results within
two working days via the internet. Through the US Postal service allow seven days. Take
samples in a timely manner such that waste application rates can be based on the most recent
sample results.
Six to eight (6 to 8) samples should be taken around the edge of the Iagoon/storage pond,
approximately 6 feet from the edge and 12 inches below the surface. These can be mixed to
make one sample. The sample should be refrigerated if it is not going to be shipped the same
day. Always mail waste samples in plastic containers.
For farmers who do not have to agitate the lagoon/storage pond prior to application, it is
strongly suggested that waste samples be taken prior to waste application. This will'prevent the
producer from having to go back and complete the waste application record at a later date.
For farmers who apply waste to hay fields and pastures, it is strongly suggested that
waste samples be taken quarterly if the waste is applied anytime during the growing season.
If you have questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Johnson
or me at [phone].

I am confirming in this letter our intent as it was discussed with you at the
farm on your last visit. We are fencing the lagoon areas and preparing to have total
removal of shrubs and briars from the lagoon dams so as to only have grass covering
them.
I am also preparing to empty or substantially lower the levels in the lagoons
this fall. These plans implemented should bring our farm into complete compliance
with our farm plan per our conversation.
Thanks for your patience as we implement these changes.

Animal Operation Site Inspection
NCGS I43-215.1 (a)
Shadow Lane Farm, Facility #: 90-32
Union County, NC
Dear Mr. Porter:
Mr. Alan Johnson of this Office conducted a site inspection of your facility on August
18, 1998. Based on the observations made during the inspection, this report is being issued as
a Notice of Violation (NOV) due to failing to maintain your lagoons.
Specifically, Mr. Johnson observed various shrubs, briars, and tree saplings on the
lagoon embankments. The excessive growth on the lagoons prevent the proper inspection of
the structure. Also, the liquid level in the main lagoon was less than the 18 inches required
by your farm plan for structural freeboard and a 25-yr/24-hr storm event. In light of your
deemed permitted status, the noted problems are a violation of North Carolina General Statute
143-215.1 (a) and Administrative Code Section 15A NCAC 2H .0217.
It is requested that a written response be submitted to this office by September 5, 1998,
indicating the action taken to address the noted violations. In responding, please address your
comments to the attention of Mr. Johnson. Be advised, a follow up inspection may be
performed. For technical assistance please contact your local Soil and Water District
representative.
This notice does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking enforcement
actions for this or any other violations. If you have any questions concerning this matter,
please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Johnson or me at [phone].

Inspection Report
Shadow Lane Farm, Facility #: 90-32
Union County, NC
A site inspection of your facility was conducted on August 5, 1997 by Mr. Alan Johnson of
this Office. It was observed that a small amount of seepage was discharging from a plugged pipe in
the lagoon adjacent to the buildings. This needs to be addressed by the technician developing your
farm plan. The trees and shrubs on the sides of the lagoons also need to be cut.
You should expect another operation review within the next month or two to be performed by
the Division of Soil and Water. The shrubs and overgrowth should be cut prior to this review so that
a proper inspection can be performed.
Any further correspondence related to the subject inspection will be sent under separate
cover. Also, please be advised that North Carolina General Statutes provide for penalties of up to
$10,000 per day per violation as well as criminal penalties for violations of state environmental laws
and regulations. If you have any questions concerning this report, please do not hesitate to contact
Mr. Johnson or me at [phone].

Dear Mr. Thomas:
The deadline for the certified waste management plan to be implemented is December 31, 1997,
and there will be no extension of the deadline. With this in mind, this letter will touch on some of the
general components and issues that are of concern during an inspection.
As a certified, or soon to be certified, farm your files at a minimum must contain the following
information, and need to be available for review during the inspection:
Certification forms
Site diagram - showing fencing, streams, buffer zones
Waste application records/forms
Maps of acreage and irrigated fields
Waste utilization plan
Waste and soil analysis records
Emergency action plan and mortality & odor control checklist
Regarding waste application records, all information should be recorded. This includes (but is
not limited to) the field used, total minutes waste was applied (if required), the amount of waste irrigated/
hauled, the amount of nitrogen applied and the crop nitrogen balance. The crops and fields that are being
utilized for waste application must be specified in the certified waste management plan. For those
facilities that grow hay, the date when the hay is harvested should be recorded. If you feel the plan does
not allow you the flexibility you need, contact a technical specialist to have the farm plan modified.
For lagoons/storage ponds, remember that a freeboard of 12 inches plus an additional 5 - 9
inches (depending on location) for a 25 year/24 hour rain event must be maintained from the top of the
storage pond/lagoon. If there is an emergency spillway/pipe, then the level must be maintained to
compensate for a 25 yr/24 hr storm. A pumping marker must also be installed. This may be a pipe or
other structure that is already in the lagoon. Whatever the marker is, it must be prominently identified.

The question often comes up as to what warrants a Notice of Violation (NOV). An NOV may
be issued for the following instances, among others:
a) inadequate freeboard,
b) inadequate land for waste application,
c) application on an unapproved crop/acreage,
d) discharge of waste from lagoon/facility,
e) excessive vegetation on the sidesiopes of a lagoon/pond, or
f) other minor deficiencies.
Examples of a deficiency would be the waste or soil analysis forms not being up to date or the
application records not being filled out properly.'
Please note, failure to submit the certification form by December 31, 1997, does not exclude you
from the responsibility of maintaining your storage pond/lagoon levels and waste application records.
Also, please be advised that North Carolina General Statutes provide for penalties of up to $10,000 per
day per violation as well as criminal penalties for violations of state environmental laws and regulations.

Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please

Mr. Joe Porter
REPORT:
On December 9, 1992, Mr. Joe Crabb of this Office
investigated a complaint concerning an overflowing lagoon at Mr.
Joe Porter's swine farm on Lander Benton Road (SR 1531).
During the investigation it was found that a waste lagoon
had overflowed for a brief period on December 4, 1992. The
discharge occurred due to a broken pump which is used to transfer
wastewater from the first stage lagoon to a second stage lagoon.
The volume of wastewater which entered a nearby stream could not
be determined; however, no environmental damage was noted.
Mr. Porter's employee was advised to maintain a lower water
level in the first lagoon to avoid overflows.

Dear Mr. Porter:
Please find enclosed a copy of the Complaint Investigation
Report for the investigation conducted at your swine operation on
December 9, 1992 by Mr. Joe Crabb Of this Office.
A concern noted in the Report involves the discharge of
wastewater on December 4, 1992. The discharge is a violation of
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1, which prohibits the
unpermitted discharge of wastewater into the waters of the state.
Any person who violates provisions of this regulation may be
assessed a civil penalty of not more than ten thousand dollars
($10,000) per day per violation by the Environmental Management
Commission.
This Office requests that you modify your operation to
minimize the chance of a discharge. Mr. Crabb suggested that you
maintain a lower water level in the first lagoon. It is also
recommended that you check the lagoon for accumulated solids and
pump out the lagoon if necessary.
Your cooperation with this Office is greatly appreciated.

This letter is to notify you that the Shadow Lane Farm -
Joseph H. Porter, swine operation, is hereby designated a
concentrated animal feeding operation in accordance with Title 15A,
North Carolina Administrative Code 2H .0123, and adopted Federal
Regulations 40 CFR 122.23. The designation of your swine operation
was based on inspections conducted on December 9, 1992 and March
19, 1993 by members of the staff of the Mooresville Regional
Office. These inspections showed that you had established a
concentrated animal feeding operation requiring such designation
based upon the following facts:
1. Swine waste and wastewater is discharged into an unnamed
tributary to Crooked Creek which is Class C waters of the
State of North Carolina.
2. The operation contains approximately 120 to 200 animal

Animal Operations Inspection Form
Date of Inspection: March 17, 1993
Name of Owner of Property (Check Register of Deeds or Tax
Office): Joseph H. porter
Name of Operator: Joseph H. Porter
Address: Shadow Lane Farms
5612 Lander Benton Road
Monroe, NC 28110
Phone Number: (Work) 704/283-8137 (Home) 704/283-4428
Description of Facility Location (State Road Nos., etc.):
Located at above address. From Hwy 601 at Bentons Crossroads
turn West onto Lawyers Road (5R 1004), travel approx. 0.3 mile,
turn South onto Lander Benton Road (SR 1531), travel approx. 0.9
mile, turn East onto Gravel Drive beside brick house, parlors can
be seen from road approx. 500 feet.
Type of Operation (Examples: farrow to finish, topping, dairy,
swine, cattle, chickens -layers or broilers, turkey production,
etc.): Swine gestation, growing and finishing parlors producing
feeder pigs and top hogs.
Number and Type of Animals or Animal Units: Approximately 120 to
200 animal units of swine (300 to 500 animals).
Length of Time Animals Have Been, Are, or Will be Stabled, or
Confined and Fed or Maintained in Any 12-Month Period: Parlors
are used on a continuous basis except during rotation.
Are Crops, Vegetation Forage Growth, or Post -Harvest Residues
Sustained in the Normal Growing Season Over Any Portion of the
Lot or Facility? Not Applicable
Description of Other Animal Operations in Irmnediate Vicinity and
Proximity to Same or Other Surface Waters: one swine operation
was noted approximately 2000 feet upstream. Approximately 7
poultry producers and 3 swine operations are within a 1 mile
radius.
Proximity of Facility to Neighboring Houses, Wells, etc.: None
within 1,000 feet. Owners residence approximately 1,200 feet.
Approximate Depth of Groundwater Table in the Area of the
Facility or Discharge: Estimated at 25 to 30 feet.

Proximity of Facility to Surface Waters (provide name and class
of surface waters): Waste storage lagoons are located 100 to 150
feet from an unnamed tributary to Crooked Creek, Class C. waters.
Are Pollutants Discharged into the Waters of the State? if so,
How? (directly or by man-made ditch, flushing system, or other
similar man-made device): Wastewater was observed overflowing
the earthen berm of the Number one wastewater storage lagoon.
The overflow entered an unnamed tributary which was approximately
100 feet downhill.
Do or Have Discharges Occurred in Response to Storm Event of Less
than 25-Year, 24-Hour Intensity? (If yes, include a brief
listing of incidents and suspected causes.): Yes. Evidence of a
discharge (pools of wastewater and accumulated solids) from the
Number one lagoon (#1-L.) was documented by this Office on
December 9, 1992. Another discharge occurred from the same
lagoon on March 19, 1993. No 25-year, 24-hour intensity storm
event, which is 6.2 inches for union County, was reported in the
area. The first discharge was reportedly due to a broken pump
(pump is used to move wastewater from Number one lagoon to Number
Two lagoon). The second discharge occurred when the manager
failed to turn on the pump. Approximately 3 days prior to the
discharge the area received 2 to 4 inches of rainfall.
Type of Waste Management (Examples: type of confinement -free
stall barns, sheltered or limited shelter dirt lots, paved or
dirt open lots, swine houses, pasture; type of waste handling -
direct spreading in solid form, slotted floor with lagoon or pit,
single or multi -cell lagoon, aerated lagoon, land application of
liquid manure, spray irrigation, contractor disposal, etc.): Two
of the three swine houses appear to be constructed of concrete
floors with flush water systems. One parlor has a concrete floor
with gutters. Manure is flushed from the houses into the Number
One waste storage lagoon (.25 to .5 acre surface area).
Wastewater is pumped from Number One lagoon into Number Two
lagoon (1.5 to 2 acres surface area). Number Two lagoon
wastewater is pumped into a small holding pit (approx. 400 square
feet surface area) and is used to fill the flush tanks of each
house. Once each day, flush tank water flushes manure into the
Number One lagoon for recycling.
Condition of Waste Management Facility (rate as poor -good, no
discharge, sufficient freeboard in lagoon, etc. Include weather
conditions during inspection): The condition of the facility was
fair. The condition of the Number One lagoon was rated poor; it
appeared to contained excessive solids, had no freeboard and was
discharging wastewater into the adjacent stream.
Animal Waste Discharge (including photos and witness's names,
addresses, telephone numbers and statements of fact): Joseph
Crabb (Inspector- Division of Environmental Management,
Mooresville Regional Office) observed an overflow discharge from
the Number One lagoon on March 17, 1993. Downstream sampling

CC
resulted in a 26,000/100 ml Fecal Coliform (FC) count and
Dissolved Oxygen (Do) concentration of 9.4 ppm; while upstream
sampling resulted in 1,200/100 ml FC count and DO concentration
of 9.4 ppm. A sample collected directly from the discharge
produced a FC count of >600,000/100 ml (see attached results).
Water Quality Assessment: (Include description of sampling, field
measurements, visual observations and slope and vegetative cover
of land adjacent to Water, extent of rainfall and other factors
relative to the likelihood or frequency of discharge of animal
wastes and process Wastewaters): Visual observations revealed
solids accumulations on grass, weeds, and rocks where the
overflow was occurring. Due to excessive turbidity upstream and
downstream; the receiving stream could not be evaluated. With no
freeboard in the Number One lagoon it is likely that an overflow
would occur during a minor rainfall event (especially if the pump
is not maintained).
Recommendations Made to Owner/Operator: Immediately cease the
discharge. Maintain adequate freeboard in all lagoons (i.e.
installation of automatic level controls, alarms, surface water
diversions, etc.). Contact Union County SCS and Extension Agency
for waste management recommendations.
Recommendations for Further DEM Action: (Re -inspect, designate,
etc.) Designation ❑f Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation
followed by semi-annual or annual re -inspections for compliance.
Other Comments: Recommend enforcement action if non -compliant on
re -inspection.

JREASON FOR VISIT: Overflowing Waste Storage Lagoon
COPIES TO: Union County Health Department
REPORT:
On March 19, 1993, Mr. Joe Crabb of this Office conducted a
follow --up investigation of a complaint concerning an overflowing
lagoon at Mr. Joseph Porter's swine farm on Lander Benton Road
(SR 1531).
During the investigation it was found that a waste lagoon
was overflowing. The discharge was occurring due to no freeboard
in the Number One waste storage lagoon. Mr. Porter's employee
turned on the pump which transfers wastewater to the Number Two
lagoon. After several minuets of pumping the water level was
lowered and the discharge ceased. The volume of wastewater which
entered a nearby stream could not be determined. Stream samples
collected that day indicate that Fecal Coliform levels exceeded
stream standards both upstream and downstream. Water quality
violations were not documented.
Designation of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation has.
been recommended by this Office. Recommend enforcement action if
non -compliant after sixty (60) days from designation.

PERSONS CONTACTED: Mr. Joseph H. Porter
REASON FOR VISIT: Overflowing Waste Storage Lagoon
COPIES TO: Union -County Health Department
REPORT:
On March 19, 1993, Mr. Joe Crabb of this Office conducted a
follow-up,investigation of a complaint concerning an overflowing
lagoon at.Mr. Joseph Porter's swine farm on Lander Benton Road
(SR 1531).
During the investigation it was found that a waste lagoon
was overflowing. The discharge was occurring due to no.freeboard
in the Number One waste storage lagoon. Mr. Porter's employee
turned on the pump which transfers wastewater to the Number Two
lagoon. After several minuets of pumping the water level was
lowered and the discharge ceased. The volume of wastewater which
entered a nearby stream could not be determined. Stream samples
collected that day indicate that Fecal Coliform levels exceeded
stream standards both upstream and downstream. Water quality
violations were not documented.
Designation of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation has
been recommended by this Office. Recommend enforcement action if
non -compliant after sixty (60) days from designation.

Dear Mr. Howard:
This letter is in response to your certified letter dated
May 5, 1993. Please be hereby notified that Shadow Lane Farm
no longer has any discharge from its swine waste lagoons. This
was due to excessive precipation, both from rain and snow. It
is not our intent ever to allow any discharge from the lagoons.
We have now emptied the primary lagoon and applied it to
nearby crop land.
If you should have any further questions concerning this
matter, please feel free to call me at 704-283-7253.
