Sullins, Deputy Director Division of Water Quality December 15, 2003 CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Mr. Curtis Ludlum 806 Village Street Bladenboro, NC 28320 Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION/NOTICE OF INTENT Administrative Code 'l 5A NCAC 2H .0217 Curtis Ludlum Farm Facility No. 09-44 Bladen County Dear Mr. Ludlum: You are hereby notified that, having been permitted to have a non -discharge permit for the subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217, you have been found to be in violation of your 2H.0217 Permit. On December 2, 2003 staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality visited your swine farm located in Bladen County. That visit was in response to a complaint this office received from an adjacent neighbor. The complaint stated that drift from your application equipment was coming onto the neighbors' property. Upon arrival DWQ staff' discovered that in the field behind the neighbors' house an application event was taking place. Staff did not observe drift onto the neighbors' property and according to the complainant the wind had shifted. However, staff did observe ponding in the area along the property boundary. The spray gun apparently had moved from this low-lying area near the neighbors' property line further out in the field and was continuing to run. Its' position on the raised portion of the field added to wastewater already ponded below. Later you stated that Charles Hyatt, a farm employee, had arrived early that day and had pulled the gun cart out to far. This resulted in wastewater collecting in the field corner and then exiting through a field tile drain into a canal. This waterway is an un-named tributary of Nance's Mill Pond and the Big Swamp within the Lumber River Basin. Please be advised that applications that result in excessive ponding and more seriously the discharge of wastewater to Waters of the State are inconsistent with your Waste Utilization Plan and violate your NPDES Permit. These violations of the permit are the reasons this office will recommend enforcement to the Central Office. N. C. Division of Water Quality 225 Green Street Fayetteville, North Carolina 28301-5043 (910) 486-1541 Fax (910) 486-0707 Customer Service 1-877-623-6748 Mr. Ludlum 12-15-03 Page 2 The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed: 1. Do not apply wastewater in a method that will result in a discharge to Waters of the State. 2. Actively monitor all spray events for discharges and report them as required by the Permit. 3. Review with farm employees' wastewater application responsibilities and pump only when proper conditions exist. 4. Submit copies of your current CA WMP and irrigation records for the past 12 months. 5. Write an explanation of how the discharge occurred and your corrective measures to help prevent future incidence. Failure to comply with the above conditions may result in the facility losing its General Permit and being required to obtain an individual non -discharge permit for the facility. Please be advised that this notice does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking enforcement actions for this violation or any past or future violation.

On 12-02-03 Larry Baxley and Hughie White visited the Curtiss Ludlum farm in response to a complaint from neighbor, Mickey Barfield Mr. Barfield stated that Mr. Ludlum was conducting a wastewater application and drift was cumin onto his property. At the time of DWQ _ staffs arrival the wind was not blowing onto the Barfield property, but there was excessive ponding and wastewater was leaving the sprayfield and entering a canal. The canal connects to a blue line UT ofNance's Millpond and then to Big Swamp within the Lumber River Basin. Staff advised Mr. Ludlum to dike the exiting wastewater and pump it back onto a CAWMP field or his lagoon. It was also suggested to pump water out ofthe canal in the area arotmd the field pipe. k rr iLa'�r/Bazlc Reviewer/Inspector Name "� � 1 3Y; =' Hii hfickWhyte ReviewerAnspector Signature: Date: 'ti+•',rL, ,! t ., t,{'etl f '+7 ,n.^.r.,t I,;y,. kt is ill .;•>, #," ram�// •r -y�r1.1 S s ♦1+H 7 i �I 1: a- t{ i r d { ♦g. 4 tl r a e' e it �+ yr�3. k �-r d¢r r i ;S ♦ tt � �� .Iy eir� •^L a� >~v M 3 .sr��.x � "C` �N's•i''�Fj`r`9 fr F�Y.'. t�,�� 1.-.lS" '�"�+..

The spill occurred when Mr. Ludlum's employee, Chtsrlcs Hyatt, pulled the rccl out too far toward the edge of the field. When he turned on the pump, effluent was applied in ace area of the Field whcro a field drain had been constructed to re rove excess rainwater; this allowed a small amount of effluent to move into the ditch Mr. Ludlum immediately tamed ofl'the pump and returned to the site with a front-end loader and shovels. The loader was used to pile soil at the mouth of the field drain preventing any further liquid from leaving the field. Effluent that had pooled in the held was removed by using 5 gallon buckets to transfer the liquid io the bucket on the front-end loader which was then spread on the spray f old site. if furthcr information is needed, or if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at 910- 048-2938.

For clarity, the items you requested be addressed in your December 15, 2003 letter will be presented in tic stuita order. 1. Wastewater application- a. The application of wastewater that accidentally left the field by way of the the drain and reached the canal was a result of the gun cart being pulled out too far. This problem has been remedied by placing a permanent flag to mark the correct placement of the cart. b. During irrigation events, the system is cheekod approximately every 90 minutes. c. The pull/field being used for land application, as well as the rest of the collection, treatment and storage structures, will be inspected after storm events as required by the general permit. 2. Monitoring of spray events: a. As stated in lb above, the system is checked every 90 minutes. b. Any discharge discovered by me or my employee(s) will be reported according to the NPDES permit. U 39Vd NvsnQ AHIV>I ZZZZ£Zti916 TE:BT aeeUetifto 3. Wastewater application reponsibilities: a. Mr. Hyatt is now aware of the upprupriate location for the gun cart on the pull i.ia question and will be very careful to check with me about any concerns or questions he has prior to the system being started. b. Mr. Myatt and I are aware of the concerns about ponding and we will both increase our inspections of the spray fields to observe any potential problems. 4.. Copies of the current CAWW and past 12 months of irrigation records are attached 5. Explanation of how the incident occurred and corrective measures: a. The application of wastewater that twuidcutully left the field by way of the tile drain and reached the canal was a result of the gun cart being pulled out a few feet too far. The effluent sprayed a little too for, pnnling in a lnw area that contains a tile drain into the adjacent canal, b. once we were aware of the situation, the pump was -turned off, The estimate of wastewater lost into the canal was 150-200 gallons. c. The discharged liquid that remained was contained in the low area by shoveling dirt in front of the tile drain opening. This liquid was then scooped up with buckets and put into the bucket of a front end loader to be distributed across the field. d. As stated in la above, a permanent flag has been placed to prevent any future problems with pulling the gun cart ont tno far- e. The site has been inspected on a regular basis for any other problems. I have taken every remediation measure suggested and feel that the accidental spill was contained in as fait and effective way as possible. If further information is needed, or if you have any questions or concerns, please reel free to contact me at 910-863-4265.

The plant nutrients In the animal waste should be used to roduoa the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Wasto should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant F -nutrients can big balanced for realiatic yields of the crop to be grown. Saveral factors are important In implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based an the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of thw waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capecities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally Waste shall be applied to land eroding at leas than 6 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but lase than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which Is not allowed under DWQ regulations. S. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor Page: 1 VO 3Jdd Ntona h iVA ZIZZEZVOIG tE:81 b66Z/OZ/Z6 problerns, 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied nut more then 30 dwis prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. if you choose to change methods In the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The catimated acres nestled to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Llme must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC ZH .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR ( gallons, ft3, tons, etc.): 7040 animals X 986 gallanimai/year = 6,937,920 gallons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (lbs): 7040 animals X 2.30 lWanimaVyear = 16,192.00 Ibs Applying the 2bove amount of waste is s Ng job_ You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste In a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type, and surface application.

A positive number means additional acreage is required to utilize the nitrogen produced by the farm. NOTE: This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above. The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to hAve a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, Interseeded in bermuda), forage rhust be removed through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nino inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, can: should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late In the season (i.e. . April or May). Shading may result R small grain gets too high and this will definaitely interfere with stand of bermudagress. This loss of stand will result In seduced yields and less nitrogen ,,e^ being utillzW. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is Page: 3 90 39Vd NVonG AHiVA ZTZZEZOO16 iE:8T POOZ/Oti/ta �i the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain ea er. a consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the time small graln is planted- In the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, Is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over bmadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of about two Inches before drilling for best results.

See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land appllcation of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 0.36 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year in the sludge based on the application method listed earlier. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 12672.00 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the r�- Page: 4 L0 39bd NvonG hHIVA ZTZZEZb0T6 TE--8T beez/eT/TO rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 42.24 acres of Tana. n yvu aNtny the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 101.38 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements /•-,could vary by 20% depenUing an your sludge woets analysie, sail types, realistic ylelds, and applications. Mw- APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION: The Irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of Irrtgation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content,- soil structure, sod texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer.to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly inigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and artiounts of nitrogen shown in the tebleo may make this plan invalid. The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

Attached is a copy of the assessment document explaining this penalty. This action was taken under the authority vested in me by delegation pursuant to N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A(h). Any continuing violation(s) may be the subject of a new enforcement action, including an additional penalty. Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following: 1. Submit payment of the penalty: Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).

Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for such request: Please, be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered: (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282. I (b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the violator; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) whether the violator has been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions. Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission. In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should be submitted to the following address: Keith Larick Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 OR 3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings: If you wish to contest any statement in the attached assessment document you must file a petition for an administrative hearing.
