On August 26, 1976j Mr. -M..J: Noland, Eeavironment,alEngineer, 96uth'Central' '
Field Office and Mr. Mika XS uney,, Cumberide d County Agriculture Extension Aunt;
visited the site of Mr. Bob Metsh's 'swine •feedlot ,"operation: Mr. Mar ete was not
there', however'; Mr-.•' Tiauney vae • famildar with the operation and supplied •all the
necessary 'Liformation..'' '.
This feedlot'opdratioa, for topping out feeder pigs, has -approximately .. z
1,000-hogs.whLch gill raugo-iu Weight 46m,55 Co 250 pounds.•.
M The .primary method' for waste dt`spbeal'.'`is `by' land--Qpsead'in ells: '0 acres a€.
coastal 'bermuda, --rase %us`fng �= Iaoney' wagon.;' • The`waste, is stoxe:lt iu,.pita ,located
underneath the" twc open sided ;ehedd wlii,ch- Mr. Hat .eh presently `htta (sae attached -
site sketch). T'hnse Oit6 are capable of•storing,90 days'�of waste.
According .to 'criteiia--seta forth in `the NPUES short,, form'B for' ag0cultore,
there ard-approximately 400• animal units, in: this .operation.', :Although the feed-,.. ,
lot is relatively' near the Cape Fear lover, there. were rip: ift�n-•m�de channels
carrying waste,to the river and :no,,6treama flowing thtoa&h 'th'e- feedlot• into the,
river. 'i'liexe was, however; -an,'old lagoon located approximately, 100 -yards from
the-Lriver situatedon. a bank above the stream channel'. ` This las6oii'had.'n6t '
+ been used in two years. and was not discharging:. !�-

'4 On August 26, 1976, Mi. lei..• J: .iioland, Environmentgl'<Bngineer; South 'Central
Field Office and Mr'. Mike' Mn auey, :•Cumberland County• Agriculture Extension' Agent,
`s visited the site -of Mr.'Aob Marsh's'swine feedlot operation. tir,• Marsh was riot
there, however, Mr. Iiauney w�ia familiar with:the operation and .supplied,sll. the .
necessary information. x '',
This feedlot operAtioiz, fox topping -:out ;,feeder pigs, has appro'xitnately
1,000 hogs 'which will range in weight 'from 55 to 250 pounds.
The, primary method. for :waste disposal is ' by land- spreading on. 4(i acres -of
coastal bcrauda: grass using a. -honey .wagon. "The waste is stored iu pi-te _�ocated-
,,,;' .under6aath the two ,open ,sided ;sheds- which Mi,. Marsh ptdd©ntly 'has (see, attached
site sketch) .. ,Thes(i pits. axe' capable.- of storing; 90 _days.. of • waste;'
- . t• ;According to criteria set forth in ..they NODES • short : For.M ,B for, agriculture,
." 'there •are approximately 400 animal unito .in this operation.'' I Ithoui h ithe':feed-
`' . lot ' is', relativeiy ttiegr' the Cape• ,Fear -,River , there ; were no man-made .channels ,
I.~carrying waste+. to' the 'river and. nd streams .glowing through the feedlot, into the
river. There was, however, an 'old lagoon ,located `approximately 100 yards'.from.-
- the . river situated ,on a bank' above 'the 'strew channel. 'This lagoon', had not
been .used• izi two years and was -not discharging.'
' Ain` i.hspection. of the "'river and bank showed no visible -signs of rpol•lutian'
due ,to the 'feedlot operation. y
• Since these facilities have�no man-made channels carrying waste or, runoff ,.
to any surface waters-,! no streams' r6nning through the Peedloi, and are not
..noticeably afflicting the Cape Fear River, it is .recommended that this •facility:: '
riot apply for an NODES permit. ; Mr.. ,Marsh has sufficient'.larid available. to
