In order to meet this directive, a representative of DENR has recently evaluated the inactive lagoon(s) and/or storage pond(s) on your property. Inactive lagoons and storage ponds were defined by the Statute as structures which were previously used to store animal waste but have not received waste for at least one year. The information collected on your property is contained in the attached field data sheets. Using this field data, staff ranked your inactive waste structures as high, medium or low according to its potential risk for polluting surface and/or groundwater. Your waste structure(s) was ranked as follows: Structure Number Surface Area (Acres) Rankinsl 1 0.26 Medium This ranking is based in part on the conditions existing on the day of the site visit. Changes in these conditions or the collection and evaluation of additional data may modify the ranking of your waste structure(s) in the future. Information on your facility along with over 1000 others contained in the inventory has been provided to the General Assembly. During this year's session, the General Assembly will consider additional requirements for future management of these structures which may include requiring proper closure of inactive lagoons and storage ponds according to current or alternative standards. 225 Green Street, Suite 714, Fayetteville, North Carolina 28301 Telephone (910) 486-1541 Fax (910) 486-0707 An Equal Opportunity Aftinative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Rating of Potential Risk Inactive Waste Lagoons and Storage Ponds Animal Waste Management System Page 2 Regardless of their ranking, owners of all waste lagoons and storage, ponds have certain management responsibilities. These include taking appropriate actions to eliminate current discharges, prevent future discharges and to insure the stability of their structures. Staff of the Division of Water Quality will be in contact with owners of all inactive structures that have been determined to pose a serious environmental risk, based on its ranking and/or additional field data collected by the Department. All liquids and waste removed from these structures must be land applied at a rate not to exceed the agronomic needs of the receiving crops. Any major modifications made to the dike walls or structure must'be done in accordance with current standards and under the direction of a technical specialist designated for structural design. Your local Soil and Water Conservation District is an excellent source for information and guidance related to proper waste application practices, structure operation and maintenance, and other related - animal waste management standards and/or requirements. . Nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility and liability for any pastor future discharges from your lagoon(s) and/or storage pond(s) or for any violations of surface water or- groundwater quality standards. Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in this process. If you have questions concerning your inactive structures, please contact the staff of either in the Division of Water Quality or the Division of Soil and Water Conservation in the Fayetteville Regional Office at (910) 486-1541.

State of North Carolina • Department of Envlronment, r Health and Natural Resources 4 • • Fayetteville Regional Office James B. Hunt, Jr., Governor Jonathan B, Howes, Secretary Andrew McCall, Regional Manager DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT November 2, .1995 Dear Mr.: Jackson: I . I would like to extend my thanks for allowing me to visit your swine, operation on November 1, 1995, Overall, the .site was in good condition and I do not see any potential problems. However, I feel it necessary to make a few recommendations for your benefit. First, please register your farm with the DEM, if you have not already done soyas soon as possible. Also, do not confine any animals in or around a creek or gully so as to prevent any waste from running off site. It is also strongly recommended that the animals are not fed in the same vicinity over a long period due to the high waste accumulation. As a precautionary measure, do not confine any animals in a concentrated area (less than a 1/4 acre) for more than 45 days a year. Otherwise, the area will be considered a "feed lot" and consequently require a certified waste management plan. If you have any question, please contact your local extension agent or call me at (910) 4$6-1541. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Ed Buchan Environmental Engineer I EB/zlt Wachovia Building, Suite 714, Fayetteville, North Carolina 28301-5043 Telephone 910.4861541 FAX 910-486.0707 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper V a cnIF c0�N gg 9 i✓•� �a 3 � �� o� 1 G Nivw15 b 'I,APK-V 8 :v `�'..ti -„ d'R:.:��Y .mac � r;y •,_`': EMEDI of B 8 `�'A'h0'�4M p t i• Q• � .:33rM '�4Cr � 'l1 t, C • w "AEZ: - d' CAM ��� ��T •+• D�•��`�`'L:•f t�-'� n:rrr�-�?"' + it ■ �+ •�:�: Cyt _j,, Y �� .
