On January 26, 2000, you or staff from your farm notified the Fayetteville Regional Office
of the Division of Water Quality, as required by General Permit condition 111.6.e, that the freeboard
level of the lagoon was less than the minimum required by the General Permit. The liquid level of
the lagoon was reported as 27 inches. General Permit condition V.3 states that "The maximum

adequate storage to contain the 25 -year, 24-hour storm event plus as additional 1 foot of structural

essential in determining if the lagoon was lowered within the specified time frame in which the Plan
