Dear Mr. Heath,
I have taken the following action in response to your letter of January 14, 2000.
1: Water and soil samples - have been sent in to N.C.D.A.
2: Preplant requirements for sprigging Bermuda -
a. soil samples
b. apply lime and whatever else is necessary
c. spray herbicides for crabgrass and other weeds
d. till and landplane soil
e. spraying on tilled soil for Bermuda cannot begin until March 1
1. spraying allowed for 30 days before planting
2. application of total PAN is allowed but not recommended
3. nutrients should be reserved for sprigs
I have spoken to Greg Horrell ( Charles Murphy's son-in-law ) about
sprigging date. They prefer to sprig between 3115 and 4115. They will
sprig on 311 if 1 wish to. He thinks they can cut and bale hay also.
I hope to have field prepared by 311 and sprigged by 3120
( weather permitting )
3: Recordkeeping - recording of all future spraying will be listed by
individual hydrant instead of by field.
Regards,
Frank Blossom

SUBJECT: Operation Review Notice of Referral for

Facility Number 82-700
Sampson County
Dear Mr. Blossom,
On May 31, 2006, an operation review was conducted of Blossom, Inc., facility number 82-
700, in Sampson County. This review, undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-215.10D, is
one of two routine site visits scheduled for all subject animal operations in 2006. Staff from
the Division of Water Quality will conduct a separate compliance inspection.
During the operation review, the following item was noted:
• According to the irrigation records, swine waste had been applied to the bermuda spray
fields at the following rates and times:
Field 2 = 20.7 lbs. of nitrogen per acre applied between 11!8105 and 11/12/05
Field 3 = 37.8 lbs. of nitrogen per acre applied between 10/20/05 and 1118105
The receiving crop of small grain was never planted on these fields. Since the
small grain crop was never planted and these waste applications were outside of the
application window for the bermuda a notice of referral to the Division of Water Quality
is required.
It was for this reason that your operation was referred to the Division of Water Quality for
further investigation and possible enforcement action. G.S. 143-215.10E requires staff from
the Division of Soil and Water Conservation to notify the Division of Water Quality and the
owner/operator of these observed violations.
