The farm is owned by Frank T. Williams, and was leased to, and operated by Northeast Carolina Farms. Mr. Williams had no control over the management of these farms. 14 Northeast Carolina Farms abandoned the farm in August 2005, essentially leaving Mr. Williams with a mess. Mr. Williams has decided to close the farm for good. He is currently dismantling the buildings and is working with Jimmy Munden, of the Camden County NRCS to close down the lagoon. Bids for the closure have been received and cost mare funds should be allocated by February 15. If this letter does not address your concerns, please contact me at 757-334-3145.

Poupart, Supervisor of the Non -Discharge Compliance and Enforcement Unit of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), make the following: I. FINDINGS OF FACT: A. Williams Farms of North Carolina, Inc. (Williams Farms) is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of North Carolina. B. Williams Farms owns and operates Belcross Farm, a swine operation in Camden County. C. Williams Farms was issued Certificate of Coverage AWS 150011 under General Permit AWG100000 for Belcross Farm on May 1, 2003, effective May 1, 2003, with an expiration date of October 1, 2004. D. Condition No. V. 3. of the General Permit states in part that "The maximum waste level in lagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). At a minimum, maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional one (1) foot of structural freeboard." E. The 25-year, 24-hour storm event for the facility's location is seven (7) inches according to National Weather Service, Technical Paper 40, Rainfall Frequency Atlas of the United States, 1961. F. Based on the 25-year, 24-hour storm event of seven (7) inches and one foot of required structural freeboard, the waste Ievel for adequate storage in the lagoon for Belcross Farm is nineteen (19) inches. G. Condition No. M. 6. e. of the General Permit requires that the permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the occurrence of failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage pond greater than or equal to that required in Condition V. 3. of the issued permit. H. Division of Soil and Water Conservation (DSWC) staff from the Washington Regional Office notified Division of Water Quality (DWQ) staff on March 8, 2004 that the waste level of the lagoon at Belcross Farm had been recorded as less than 19 inches on four (4) occasions beginning in June 2003. DWQ requested a copy of the farm's freeboard records and observed that the waste Iev_el of the lagoon was less than 19 inches on four separate occasions. The first occasion was from June 9 through July 10 of 2003 with freeboard elevations ranging from 15 to 18 inches. The second occasion occurred on November 3, 2003 with a freeboard elevation of 16 inches. The third occasion occurred on December 29, 2003 with a freeboard elevation of 18 inches. The fourth occasion occurred from January 21 through February 23 of 2004 with the freeboard elevations ranging from 14 to 18 inches. I. The Washington Regional Office did not receive notification from Belcross Farm that the waste level exceeded the level specified in the CAWMP for any of the above -mentioned time periods. J. The costs to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $217.99. Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following: H. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: A. Williams Farms is a "person" within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.6A pursuant to G.S. 143-212(4). B. A permit for an animal waste management system is required by G.S. 143-215.1. C. The above -cited failures to maintain the liquid level in the lagoon at the level specified in the CAWMP violated Condition No. V. 3. of the General Permit. D.

Dr. Fred Cunningham, President of Northeast Carolina Farms, Inc., informed the Committee that Northeast Carolina Farms, Inc. had leased the facility from Williams Farms of North Carolina, Inc. and was operating the farm at the time the violations occurred. Northeast Carolina Farms, Inc.'s request for remission was presented to the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions for consideration. The Division of Water Quality was represented by Mr. Jim Mulligan, Regional Supervisor in the Washington Regional Office, and Northeast Carolina Farms, Inc. was represented by its President, Dr. Fred Cunningham. Having considered the record and the factors set forth in N.C.G.S. § 143B-282.1(b) and (c), the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions finds the facts contained in the Director's Findings and Decision and Assessment of Civil Penalties as stipulated by Northeast Carolina Farms, Inc., that the Findings of Fact support the Conclusions of Law, and that the Director -2- properly applied the criteria set forth in N.C.G.S. §143B-282.1 in determining the amount of the civil penalties. The Committee considered the petitioner's actions to install two pumps in the lift station and to remove and replace contaminated soil after the wastewater overflow but finds that there are no G.S. §143B-282.1(c) grounds shown for remission or reduction of the penalties assessed by the Director for violation of G.S. §143-215.1 on or about October 3, 2000 by making an outlet of wastes to the waters of the State without the required permit and for violating Condition No. III. 6. b. of the General Permit by failing to report within 24 hours the failure of the animal waste treatment system. Upon duly made motion and vote, the Committee finds that the assessment of civil penalties and costs in the amount of $5,571.72 ($5,000.00 civil penalty plus $571.72 investigation costs) should be upheld. THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED: 1. That the assessment of civil penalties and costs in the amount of $5,571.72 against Northeast Carolina Farms, Inc. is AFFIRMED. 2. That this Final Decision and Order be served upon Northeast Carolina Farms,.Inc. and upon receipt hereof, the amount of $5,571.72 be paid to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources within thirty days.

We have always and routinely notified DWQ when our lagoon level entered into the storm zone. We submitted Plans of Action for the Belcross Farm in both March and April of 2003. It was my understanding that once we reported our lagoon level and submitted a Plan of Action that we were on the "watch list" until we reported that the lagoon was out of the storm zone. We have continued to battle the lagoon level and the saturated soil since October of 2002. We have not been in the "green" for any length of time during this period where we felt comfortable enough to notify the DWQ to cancel the last Plan of Action. Whenever we made progress with the lagoon level it was short lived and followed by large quantities of rain such as 4.9 inches in May, 4.3 inches in June and 6.0 inches in July. We made good progress in August but were hit with 9.0 inches of rain in September, which negated any progress we had made. The biggest problem, from which we only recently recovered, was the 9.9 inches of rain we received in December. We feel that we have notified the DWQ of the ongoing problem at Belcross and continued to operate under the Plan of Action submitted in April. We took additional steps of voluntarily lowering the inventory of the farm by more than half so that all the sows would fit into one building. We also incurred the additional expense of installing water nipples in each gestation crate in that building so that water consumption would be at a minimum. We were not trying to hide anything as we recorded our lagoon levels weekly as required. There would no advantage to us by not reporting the farm. If I misinterpreted the regulations then it is entirely my fault. We have worked very hard at this farm in the face of numerous problems and challenges to do the right thing. Please consider the efforts that we have made at this facility before you decide to 'go forward with enforcement or a fine. Sincerely, �u Fred L. Cunningham!

Director Division of Water Quality CERTIFIED MAIL JtETURMCEIP T REQUESTED 70031680 0000 5403 7253 March 9, 2004 Mr, Fred Cunningham 203 West Farm Way Gaston, North Carolina 27832 RE: Notice of Recommendation of Enforcement Belcross Farms Facility Number 15-11 Permit No. AWS 150011 Camden County Dear Mr. Cunningham: . This letter is to notify you that the Washington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality is considering sending a recommendation for enforcement action to the Director of the Division of Water Quality. The recommendation concerns violation of conditions iri your Swine Waste Operation General Permit, Certified Animal Waste Management Plan and North Carolina Administrative Code Subchapter 15A ,0217. The referenced facility, Belcross Farm, is located 1 mile east of Belcross on Hwy 158 in Camden County,North Carolina. On March 9, 2004, Mr, Martin McLawhorn of NC Division of Soil and Water notified Mr. Scott Vinson of NC Division of Water Quality of the following violations that he observed during the operational review inspection that was conducted on March 5, 2004. The lagoon level records were observed to read 18 inches in the lagoon on June 9, 2003 with the lagoon remaining in the storm zone through July. The waste level in the lagoon rose back into the storm zone noted on November 3, 2003 at 16 inches, December 9, 2003 at 18 inches, and from January 21 through February 23, 2004 ranging from 18 to 14 inches. This is a violation of condition V, item 3 of your NPDES General Permit, for failing to maintain the maximum waste level in lagoons/storage ponds as specified in the CAWMP. At a minimum, maximum waste level for waste for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain a 25 year, 24 hour storm event plus an additional foot of structural freeboard. 2. You failed to notify the Washington Regional Office DWQ staff that the lagoon level had entered back into the storm storage zone(greater than 12 inches but less than 19 inches). This is a violation of condition III, item 6(e) of your General Permit, for failing to report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office within 24 hours of first knowledge of the aforementioned violation. Please provide this office with an explanation of the violations and a copy of freeboard, irrigation, waste and soil records for 2003-2004 within five (5) working days from receipt of this Notice to: Mr. Jim Mulligan Division of Water Quality 943 Washington Square Mall Washington, North Carolina 27889 943 Washington Square Mall Washington, NC 27889 252-946-6481 (Telephone) 252-946.9215 (Fax) Page Two Belcross Farm Facility 15-11 Your explanation will be reviewed and if an enforcement action is deemed appropriate, your explanation will be forwarded to the Director with the enforcement package for his consideration.

Virginia Beach, NC 23457-1399 SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION Animal Feedlot Operation Compliance Inspection Belcross Farm Facility No. 15-11 Camden County Dear Mr. Williams: Thank you for your recent submittal of the information requested in our NOV letter dated April 16, 2003. Upon review and consideration of the information submitted, the Washington Regional Office has determined that an NOV is appropriate due to the unsatisfactory operation and maintenance of the waste treatment system. This letter is to notify you that the subject facility is in further violations of its Certified Animal Waste Management Plan, General Permit, Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, Section .0217(d) and N.C.G.S. 143-215.1. On June 26, 2003, Scott Vinson from the Washington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) conducted an Animal Feedlot Operation Compliance Inspection at the Belcross Farm in Camden County. A copy of the inspection report is attached for your review. In general, the Compliance Inspection was to determine if: (1) the farm has a Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP); (2) the farm is complying with requirements of the State Rules 15 NCAC 21-1.0217, Senate Bill 1217, and the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan; (3) the farm operation's waste management system is being operated properly under the direction of a Certified Operator; (4) the required records are being kept; and that (5) there are no signs of seepage, erosion, and/or runoff. The following violations were observed during the.inspection: ➢ The corn crop had not been planted as in accordance with the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). In accordance with condition 11, Rem 2 of your General Permit, a vegetative cover shall be maintained on all land application fields and buffers in accordance with the CAWMP. The failure to plant a corn crop has lead to the overapplication of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN). The CAWMP allows for the preapplication of waste 30 days prior to planting. There were numerous irrigation events in March, April, and May on multiple fields that did not have a crop planted. Only until July 3, 2003 when soybeans were planted was there a crop available for the uptake of PAN. All waste application events from March of 2003 until June 3, 2003 are to be considered as overapplication of PAN. There are 15 fields ranging in overapplication from 26 lbs.PAN/acre to 73 Ibs.PANlacre. Also in accordance with condition II, item 4 of your General Permit, land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land application rates exceed the Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) rate for the receiving crop or result in runoff during any give application. W Wash inaton Sauare Mail Washinaton.

B. Stroup Avery Acres, MHP, Inc. PO Box 6276 Asheville, NC 28816 Re: Violation of DMR Permits December 2001 and January 2002 Dear Mr. Oakley, On May 20' and 24'h respectively, Mr. Stroup received the above noted assessment of civil penalties. In this letter, I hope to clarify why this situation occurred and respectfully request a remission of these penalties. Mr. Stroup had, near the end of 2001, made the decision to sell the Mobile Home Park. He did not want to make it a hardship on the varied population that lived in this park, so he gave them eight months notice the beginning of December that the park had been sold and that it would be necessary for them to relocate. He also informed them that he would give them a monetary bonus if they could relocate within the next six months. From the owner's perspective, this is a fair offer. Apparently from the renter's perspective, this was a very poor opportunity. Many of the renter's live paycheck to paycheck and would be hard pressed to relocate. A few of the renter's took this as a personal blow and were focused on getting "revenge" on Mr. Stroup. It was about this time that the well flows were obviously higher than normal. We searched the park for leaks in the main lines as well as under homes. None were found. We were informed at a later time that a few of the renters had turned on the water taps inside the home as they were vacating. This obviously sent a bulk load to the wastewater facility. From information received from Mr. Alan Lee, manager of the mobile home park, this occurred an several occasions. This response was not expected nor anticipated. There were no precautions that could have been in place to deter this response. Until this point, the treatment facility had been operating very well. There were only the basic timely repairs that were necessary and were completed. Mr. Stroup has always been very receptive to any updates or repairs that'were deemed necessary to maintain compliance. This was not a repair that was ignored, nor an operational item that was overlooked. This situation was clearly beyond the control of W. Stroup and our operator, Steve Nanney. We respectfully request that you take this into consideration. Many efforts were made on the part of Mr. Nanney to overcome the problems that he was so quickly thrown into. There is not an equalization basin on site and has never been a need for one. Therefore, the vast amount of continuous flow that the facility was receiving could not be diverted to /p r another location. Alum was used to help settle the basin, and soda ash was used to maintain a happy environment for the bacteria while ensuring that the pH was stable. The time clocks were set so that the v. plant could settle as much as possible without the air lift station overflowing from the excess water. This was a difficult problem to balance. It is better to send partially treated wastewater on downstream, than to clean up a spill of untreated sewage, especially with many children present. The judgment was made to accommodate the excess flow and attempt to get the cleanest water leaving the facility. From the weekend of December 9, 2001 until the week of January 13, 2002 many corrections and considerations were made to regain control of this system. As you can see, the TSS peaked the 10 of December and began a steady decline until compliance was regained the week of January 1 P. An excess of chlorine was added during this time frame so that the water leaving would not have bacteria adding to the problem. The week of the 2e proved that the TSS was under control and it was decided to reduce the chlorine dosage so that there would not be a negative environmental impact. Unfortunately, this decision was made slightly prematurely. This unpredictable circumstance is an operating nightmare for the ORC. It is equally troubling for the owner. We apologize that it took this long to regain compliance. If this had occurred only once, compliance would have been obtained much quicker. The fact that this was a reoccurring incidence only aggravated the problem. While it is easy to empathize with the renter's predicament, it is admirable that the owner was willing to offer compensation. The decision to sell was a wise business move and the results of his proclamation are unfortunate. We hope that you will take these facts into consideration. The owner, operator, and operations firm strive diligently to preserve compliance at this and every facility. When there are extenuating circumstances it grows rather difficult rather quickly. We would appreciate your review of the two fines Case No. LV02-189 and Case No. LV02-154 in regard to the above information. We truly believe that had the situation not occurred, neither you nor I would have had to pen these letters. The facility typically operates wonderfully. If you can negate the fines, it would be most appreciated. With highest regards, we are ��QJVic� ly � m�O Harry and Juanita James Cc: Mr. HB Stroup State of North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality Michael F.

Date Gregory J. Thorpe, Ph.D. W DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY December 7, 2000 TO: Steve Lewis, Environmental Specialist DWQ Compliance and Enforcement THROUGH: Jim Mulligan, Water Quality Supervisor Washington Regional Office FROM: Carl Dunn, Environmental Engineer �.r-- Washi.ngton Regional Office SUBJECT: Enforcement Action . Belcross Farm Facility No. 15-11 Camden County INTRODUCTION: Belcross Farm is owned and operated by Williams Farms of North Carolina. The facility is located on US Highway 158 approximately one mile east of Belcross in Camden County. The facility has been permitted as a 1240 farrow to wean operation. I— *z*-ytW On September 29, 2000 the Washington Regional Office received a complaint of a possible discharge of animal waste from the Belcross facility due to a faulty lift station. Because of limited staff resources within the office aerial reconnaissance of the farm was done on October 2, 2000. The aerial surveillance showed that there was a possibility that the farm did have a problem with the lift station and that ground truth work would need to be preformed. On October 3, 2000 Carl Dunn of the Washington Regional Office conducted a site investigation with Mr. David Oldham, who was the certified operator of the facility. The site investigation revealed that the lift station located between two animal houses used to convey waste to the lagoon had indeed had a failure. A drain used to convey surface water runoff was located within three feet of the lift station. The drain was plugged at the time of the inspection with a PVC pipe. There were signs of watermarks on the Iift station and the PVC pipe that indicated that the waste level had risen above the level of the lift station indicating that the lift station had had a recent failure. Also the watermark on the PVC pipe indicated that the level of waste ponded above the drain had been approximately one foot deep. Waste was still ponded above the drain approximately three to four inches deep. The only outlet for the waste that had been ponded above the drain was to either go through the drain or be pumped.back into the now working lift station. Mr. Oldham was not aware of anyone pumping the ponded waste back into the lift statioh nor was he aware that the PVC plug had been removed from the drain_ wal Y Samples were collected froth within the drainage system and the outlet ditch for the drain. The results of the samples are in the table below.

The conclusion from the results is that the lift station had failed and the animal waste released from the failed lift station had passed through the drainage system and entered into the farm's drainage ditches.

The recommendation concerns the violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1(a)(1) for discharging animal waste in waters of the State without a permit and for the violation of Swine Waste Operation General Permit Condition IU.6. for not reporting to the DWQ Regional Office a failure of a component of your waste collection system. The Belcross Farm is located on Highway 158 approximately one mile east of Belcross in Camden County. The Belcross Farm is permitted to operate as a 1240 farrow to wean facility. An inspection of the facility was conducted on October 3, 2000 by Carl Dunn of the Washington Regional Office. Evidence was found to show that the lift station used to transfer waste from animal houses to the waste lagoon failed to operate properly resulting in a discharge of animal waste to waters of the State. If you have an explanation for these violations, as well as any corrective action taken, that you wish to present, please respond in writing to the Washington Regional Office within ten (10) days after receipt of this Notice. Your explanation will be reviewed and if an enforcement action is still deemed appropriate, your explanation will be forwarded to the Director with the enforcement package for his consideration. r7 943 Washington Square Mall, Washington, NC 27889'Telephone 252-946-6481 Fax 252-975-3716 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper =I 1f you, have any questions concerning this matter, please contact me at (252) 946-6481, ext.212 or Carl Dunn, Environmental Engineer, at (252) 946-6481, ext. 208.

DWQ 1671 Mail Service Center DEC 17 20 Raleigh, North Carolina 27699_1617 4yArE7! dilaLfiY SECTION Ncn-Discharge Compliance Ed Dear Mr. Lewis, In reference to file No. DV 00-029, farm #15-11 we are requesting remission or mitigation of the proposed fine. This problem occurred due to the failure of a pump in the lift station, which caused the lift station to overflow. The pipe that was installed at the request of the local conservation department, located next to the lift station had already been cemented shut prior to this incident This was done so if the lift station failed no waste would escape from between the buildings. Your sample indicates there was an increased Coliform count where this pipe would have entered the ditch. Since the pipe had been cemented shut we did not consider the possibility waste could reach the ditch. Since the inspec;icn we have spent over S6000.00 redesigning the lift station system. We have designed and installed a special pump that uses a boat propeller to move both wastewater and solids to the lagoon. We have installed an additional pump that series as a back up to the primary pump and is tied to an afarrn that sounds inside the buildings when the second pump turns on but before there is a problem. In addition the site between the buildings has had the too 12 inches of sail removed and ccrzpcst_d. It has t;e_n replaced with sail and sand. The farm has been inspected twice since this incident and passed with no problems. The pipe that leads tc the ditch has been dug up completely eliminating the possibility of any fLture problems. I would propose to use the money that would be due for the fire to install water ripples in the gestation building that is the primary water source for this lift station. We have done this on three farms in the Gaston. NC area at a cost cf S15.CC0. This has cut ourwater usage in half and rnade lagoon management much easier and more able to be planned. 1 have included a copy of the bill for the first set of equipment excludirg labor cost for the water nipples. I would estir-ate that it would cost S10 per gestation crate to buy and install water nipples. This building has approximately 550 gestation crates, which would make the cost SSSC0.00. The ultimate plan would be to install nippies in the breeding building, which flows directly to the lagoon, but that would require an additional 55CC0 and cash flow would not allow that at this time. I have enclosed three pictures of the area in question. Picture #1 is of the general area. You can see the primary pump, which consists, on a five horsepower electric pump that drives a shalt with a propeller attached. It is a 6-inch pipe that contains the propeller. This pump has been very effective in not getting clogged with the solid waste from the buildings. The area around the lift station is clean and dry. Picture T2 is of the primary pump. Picture #3 is of the primary pump in the lift station, along with the'back up pump in place. This pump is automatically activated if the level of the lift station exceeds the safe level of the primary pump. An alarm is also activated when this pump is energized. We certainly did not design this system but inherited it when we leased the farm. We have already invested a !ct of money on clean up and improvements so that the system can operate properly and efficiently. I hope you will let us invest additional money in improvements instead of a fine. Thank you for your ccnsideratfcrn in this matter. Sincerely,, Fred L.

Ramsey, Assistant Chief of the Non -Discharge Branch of the Water Quality Section of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), make the following: I_ FINDINGS OF FACT: A. Jimmy McKenzie owns and. operates McKenzie Farm, a swine operation in Sampson County. B. Jimmy McKenzie was issued Certificate of Coverage AWS820650 under General Permit AWG 100000 for McKenzie Farm on March 26, 1999, effective March 26, 1999, with an expiration date of April 30, 2003. C. Condition II. I. of the issued permit states "The collection, treatment, and storage facilities, and land application equipment and fields shall be maintained at all times and properly operated." D. On April 21, 1998, staff with the Division of Soil and Water Conservation (DSWC) inspected the McKenzie Farm and noted in the inspection report "Need to address spray field conditions (Water-Ponding Problem)." E. On September 3, 1998, staff with DWQ inspected the McKenzie Farm and noted in the inspection report "The spray field has a problem with standing water due to no drainage outlet. Need to consult with a drainage expert for correction action." MA W F. On or about September 14, 1998, DWQ sent a Notice of Deficiency to Jimmy McKenzie regarding the September 3rd inspection that stated in part "It was observed that the waste application field has a severe drainage problem with water ponded in approximately25 percent of the field. ... The inspection revealed that the waste application field is depressional in the center resulting in water standing approximately 12 inches in depth. ... It is strongly recommended that you contact a technical specialist for assistance concerning the deficiencies noted above." G. On April 22, 1999, DSWC staff inspected the McKenzie Farm and noted in the inspection report "After talking with Sampson Soil and Water Conservation about the field drainage problems, they stated they had no plans in the works for repairing the drainage in the spray field. This part of the field was standing in water and the fescue was non existent." H. On September 24, 1999, DSWC staff inspected the McKenzie Farm and noted in the inspection report "Spray fields have had water ponding problems for the last two or three years. Severe competition with other grasses and weeds noted in spray field. Contact NRCS for assistance with spray field issue." I. On December 30, 1999, DWQ staff inspected the McKenzie Farm and noted in the inspection report "The wet area in spray field takes up quite a few acres that can't be sprayed on." J. On February 2, 2000, DWQ staff inspected the McKenzie Farm and noted in the inspection report "Spray field was saturated in some areas." K. On July 11, 2000, DSWC staff inspected the McKenzie Farm and noted in the inspection report "Spray field has a severe drainage problem." L. On November 29, 2000, DWQ staff inspected the McKenzie Farm and noted in the inspection report "The farm has an area in the waste application field (approx. 3 to 4 acres) that has standing water year round that has not been addressed." M. On January 9, 2001, DWQ staff inspected the McKenzie Farm and noted in the inspection report "At the time of this inspection a thorough inspection of waste application field was conducted due to evidence of recent waste application. Due to difference between lagoon levels observed Jan 2 2001 and Jan 9, 2001 of approximately 3 inches which egtWs approximately 326,160 gallons. Waste was ponded in the field in several areas, in addition to a ponded area." Staff also observed wastewater in the diversion ditch between the lagoon and spray field as a result of a leak at the pump or pump connection to the subsurface system. N. On April 3, 2001, DSWC staff inspected the McKenzie Farm. It was noted in the inspection report "The irrigation hookup at the lagoon appears to be leaking during irrigation events. The waste looks to be running toward the spray field. &5 r� Make sure to repair this hookup. Waste was ponded around this area." It was also noted that "During a revisit to the farm on 4-5-01 and 4-6-01, there was waste standing in a large majority of the spray field behind the lagoon. DWQ was called and notified on 4-6-01 of the ponding waste in the spray field. ... The fescue stand was very poor due to a large majority of the spray field being under water. This has been noted for several years." O. Condition No. 1. 2. of the General Permit incorporates by reference the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) for a facility and states that any violation of the CAWMP shall be considered a violation of the general permit. P. A waste utilization plan (WUP) is a required component of an animal waste management plan in accordance with G.S. 143-215.10C(e). An approved animal waste, management plan certification including a waste utilization plan (WUP) for McKenzie Farm was received by DWQ on or about August 11, 1995. Q. The WUP for McKenzie Farm states in part "Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on land when the surface is frozen." R. On April 6, 2001, DWQ staff inspected the McKenzie Farm as a result of notification from DSWC staff. DWQ staff noted in the inspection report "Site visit to farm after Trent Allen referred farm for failure to meet on two (2) occasions for operation review. At the time of inspection an unknown individual was setting up irrigation on a saturated field. Returned at 3:30 PM to observe irrigation in process. No run-off observed. Returned at 6:30 to observe wastewater ponded over the majority of the sprayfield where irrigation occurred and wastewater was running off the sprayfield into a pond area (approx. 8 acres). This area (pond) is dammed at the property line and discharges into a canal (blue line stream). (see pictures). A walk of the waste application fields found wastewater ponded over the majority of fields. Wetland plants were observed in several areas of the sprayfields (see pictures)." S. On April 9, 2001, DWQ staff collected water samples from the area of ponded wastewater in the sprayfield and from the, wastewater runoff from the spray field to the ponded area. Laboratory analysis determined that the ponded wastewater contained 22,000 fecal coliform colonies per 100 milliliters. and the wastewater runoff sample contained 440 fecal coli form colonies per 100 milliliters. T. On or about April 18, 2001, DWQ sent -a Notice of Violation/Notice of Intent (NOV/NOI) to Jimmy McKenzie. The notice stated in part "During the follow-up inspection on January 9, 2001, the waste application fields were observed to have waste water ponding from a recent irrigation event. ... The waste application fields have been observed, over the past four (4) years, to have a Iarge area (6 to 8 acres) with ponded waste and surface water which is unsuitable for waste ,application." wza. r U. Condition No. M. 2. of the issued permit states in part "Waste lagoon and storage pond level shall be recorded weekly on forms supplied or approved by the DWQ." V. On November 29, 2000; and April 9, 2001, DWQ staff inspected the McKenzie Farm. The facility did not have weekly waste lagoon level records on appropriate forms. W. In the NOV/NOI dated April 18, 2001 (item T above), DWQ requested that a copy of the waste lagoon level records from January 1, 2000 to April 18, 2001 be submitted to the Fayetteville Regional Office before April 27, 2001. Mr. McKenzie did not respond to this request. X. Condition No. III 3. of the issued permit states "A representative Standard Soil Fertility Analysis, including pH, copper, and zinc, shall be conducted annually on each application field receiving animal waste. The results of these tests shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for a minimum of three years and shall be made available to the DWQ upon request." Y. Condition No. M. 5. of the issued permit states "Records, including land application events and removal of solids to an off -site location(s) records, shall be maintained by the Permittee in chronological and legible form for a minimum of three years. These records shall be maintained on forms provided or approved by the DWQ and shall be readily available for inspection." Z. On December 30, 1999, DWQ staff inspected the McKenzie Farm. DWQ requested copies of the waste lagoon levels, soil test results, and land application events. These records were not readily available for review. :4.A. On or about June 25, 2000, DWQ sent a letter to the McKenzie Farm requesting that copies of the facility's required records (lagoon levels, irrigation records, soil test results, etc.) be submitted to the Fayetteville Regional Office before duly 5, 2000. Mr. McKenzie did not respond to this request. BB. In the NOV/NOI dated April 18, 2001 (item T above), DWQ requested that a copy of the facility's irrigation records from January 1, 2000 to April 18, 2001 be submitted to the Fayetteville Regional Office before April 27, 2001. Mr. McKenzie did not respond to this request. CC. On October 24, 2001, DWQ staff inspected the McKenzie Farm. Waste lagoon levels and soil test results were not available. DD. Condition No. V. I of the issued permit states in part that "The maximum waste level in lagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). At a minimum, maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional one (1) foot of structural freeboard." 9-0 EE. The 25-year, 24-hour storm event for the facility's location is between six and one-half (6.5) and seven (7) inches according to National Weather Service, Vol Technical Paper 40, Rainfall Frequency Atlas of the United States, 1961. FF. Based on a 25-year, 24-hour storm event of six and one-half (6.5) inches and one foot of required structural freeboard, the waste level in the lagoon for the McKenzie Farm shall not exceed eighteen and one-half (18.5) inches. GG. DWQ staff inspected the McKenzie Fans on September 5, 2000 and January 2, 2001 and observed the waste levels of the lagoon to be 17.5 inches and 18 inches, respectively, which exceeded the level specified in the CAWMP. HH. Condition No. 1I1.6. of the issued permit states that "The Perrrtittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following events: ... e. Failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage pond greater than or equal to that required in Condition V. (3) of the issued permit." 11. The Fayetteville Regional Office had not received notification from the McKenzie Farm that the waste level exceeded the level specified in the CAWMP within 24 hours of either date noted in item FF above. JJ. Condition No. V. 2. of the issued permit states "The Permittee shall designate a certified animal waste management system operator to be in charge (OIC) of the animal waste management system. The animal waste management system shall be operated by the OIC or a person under the OIC's supervision." KK. During the inspections on April 22, 1999, December 30, 1999, July 11, 2000, and April 3 and 6, 2001, DSWC and DWQ staff noted that there was no certified OIC for the farm. LL. On or about February 21, 2001, Mr. McKenzie was notified by letter from the Technical Assistance and Certification Unit of DWQ that the designated operator for the farm was no longer certified. A response was requested by April 1, 2001. Mr. McKenzie did not respond to this request. MM. According to DWQ records, no certified operator in charge of the animal waste management system is designated at the McKenzie Farm as of April 19, 2002. NN. The costs to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $667.55. r '' Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following: II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: A. Jimmy McKenzie is a "person" within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.6A pursuant to G.S. 143-212(4). B. A permit for an animal waste management system is required by G.S. 143-215.1. C.

On October 24, 2001 staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality conducted an annual inspection of the McKenzie Farm located in Sainpson County: The inspections revealed that the lagoon levels were not being maintained weekly as required by General Permit condition 111.2. which states: "Waste lagoon and storage pond levels shall be recorded weekly on forms supplied or approved by the DWQ." In addition, soil samples need to be collected within 365 days of the previous samples; and the wettable acres determination had not been completed as required.

On November 29, 2000, January 2, 2001, January 9, 2001, April 9, 2001, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality, performed inspections of the McKenzie Farm located in Sampson County. The inspections revealed that the lagoon levels were not being maintained weekly as required by General Permit condition III.2. which states: "Waste lagoon and storage pond levels shall be recorded weekly on forms supplied or approved by the DWQ". In addition, on January 2, 2001, the lagoon level was observed to have less than the required freeboard (18 inches) for the facility by General -Permit condition III.6.e. which states: "The Permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following events: e. Failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage pond greater than or equal to that required in Condition V(3) of this Permit." Also, the lagoon design calculations and as built plans or drawings and checklist for insect, odor, and mortality were not available on the farm at the time of the annual inspection. During the follow-up inspection on January 9, 2001, the waste application fields were observed to have waste water ponding from a recent irrigation event. In addition, waste water 225 GREEN STREET - SUITE 7141 SYSTELBUILDING / FAYETTEVILLE.

The waste application fields have been observed, over the past four (4) years, to have a large area (6 to 8 acres) with ponded waste and surface water which is unsuitable for waste application. Due to the surface water ponding, this farm is anticipated to have a shortage of suitable acreage for waste application. Please conduct a wettable acres determination immediately. On April 6, 2001, the Division of Soil and Water referred your facility to the Division of Water Quality for failure to meet for an inspection and concerns observed at the time of the visit, primarily wastewater ponded in the spray fields. An irrigation event was observed on April 6, 200I, at which time wastewater was observed again ponding in the waste application field. The waste application fields were observed to have wastewater ponding in all areas of the farm and several of these areas have what appeared to be wetland plants (cattails) growing in the fields. In addition, the prevailing soil type (rains) is a clay soil with a shallow water table and is believed to be compacted as a result of cattle grazing which has exacerbated the soil infiltration problem. Also, the McKenzie Farm does not have an Operator in Charge (OIC) designated as required. The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed: 1. Contact the local NRCS agency or a private company for assistance in conducting a Wettable Acres Determination. 2. Contact the local NRCS agency for a copy of the lagoon storage calculations and as built drawings. Also, a copy of the checklist for insect, odor and mortality should be available from this agency. 3. Begin immediately recording the lagoon freeboard level weekly as required by your General Permit. 4. Submit an explanation of what occurred on April 6, 2001, that resulted in the discharge to the pond adjacent to the waste application field as required by your General Permit. 5. Submit a copy of freeboard records from January 1, 2000 to April 18, 2001, 6. Submit a copy of the irrigation records from January 1, 2000 to April 18, 2001. 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. Mr. McKenzie April 18, 2001 Page 3 You are hereby notified that based on the above information, the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality is considering forwarding recommendation to the Director for consideration of enforcement for this violation. Furthermore, the Division of Water Quality has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00 per day per violation.

TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY Enforcement costs. TOTAL AMOUNT DUE Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 14313- 28 2. 1 (b), which are: (1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violation; (2) The duration and gravity of the violation; (3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality; (4) The cost of rectifying the damage; (5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance; (6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally; (7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and (8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.

Partnership St; 2"- �; Q` A iTY SECTION We request a remission of the Civil Penalties outlined in the above Notice of Violation from Kenneth Schuster, P.E., based on the information furnished herein. Since you have not been involved in the previous penalties, correspondence, environmental committee meetings and pleadings regarding our facility, I am enclosing copies of correspondence for your review. We purchased Knightdale Estates in 1991 and had NO penalties through June 2000 except for a flow violation which occurred following the big snow storm in late January 2000. Guido Carrara operated our plant in compliance from August 1997 through June 2000 except for the one flow violation. John Boykin's Envirolink operated it from June 2000 to May 2001, ouI of compliance every month. From May 2001 to April 2002 our operators were independents, licensed by your department, but were out of compliance over 50% of the time. In May 2002 we rehired Guido Carrara, G. C. Environmental and since then the plant has been in total compliance again and we expect it will be in compliance hereafter. r •, Mr. Klimek, i cannot say that there is an error in the Notice of Violation but, as Kenneth Schuster said yesterday about the plants operation in general, there could have been a sampling error regarding the fecal. And as has been the case in all the, violations since June 2000, the operators, licensed by your department, have been negligent. Yes, you can say, as we have been told over and over, that we as the Permitee are the ones who are responsible. Please understand that we have been trying our very best to comply with all the rules and laws. But it's as if we are getting the speeding ticket when someone else is doing the driving. So, Mr. Klimek, F am asking you to remit these penalties based on all the information included here, not merely as a black and white decision but a decision based on compassion. As a small family business, we are struggling now trying to pay enormous previous penalties. Your cooperation will certainly be appreciated.

C. General Statute 143-215.1(a)(6) and NPDES Permit NC0040266 Knightdale Estates MHP Limited Partnership, WWTP Case No. LV 00-166 Wake County REQUEST FOR REMISSION Dear Ms. Sullins: We request a remission of the Civil Penalty outlined in the above Notice of Violation based on the following uncontrollable circumstances: • During the month of January a history -making record snowfall of 17.90' fell on January 25, 2000. A monthly record snowfall for January amounted to 25.80`. Also during the month of January record low temperatures occurred on January 26, 27, 28 and 29 of 13 degrees,10 degrees, 1 degree and 7 degrees respectively, and continued to fall below freezing through February 11 except for one day. • It is our understanding from our WWTP operator that the influent flow is based on a percentage of the amount of water that is actually used from the well meter. • Even though we encourage our tenants to insulate their water pipes adequately and we discourage their leaving water running to prevent frozen pipes, many of the tenants leave their faucets running without regard to our recommendation. • Please note that during the latter part of January when the heavy snow and low temperatures prevxai led, the fbow wios higher because at the beg innirig of February the tenants were still trying to protect their water pipes. After the weather and temperatures returned to normal, the flow returned to normal also. • Sheets from WRAL-TV Weather Center showing the January Climate Extremes/Records and January and February Weather Observations at RDU, as well as DEM Form MR-1 for January 2000 are enclosed for review. JdZF a 1L • Based on the 8 factors set forth on Page 3 of the Notice of Violation we offer the following responses: 1. We believe the degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violation to be none. 2. The duration of the violation was only a few days and the gravity very low. 3. There were no negative effects on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality. 4. There has been no cost to the State for rectifying the damage. 5. There was no money saved by noncompliance - our expenses for management, chemicals and electricity remained the some or they were probably higher because of the increased water flow. 6. Theviolation was definitely not committed willfully or intentionally and was merely a result of severe weather. 7. For several years our plant has been operating in compliance with our permit. B. If the Director feels it is necessary to collect the $45.84 for preparation of the hlotice of Violation letter, we will remit that amount promptly upon notification. Please also be advised that although several years ago there were some months when the WWTP was not compliant, we have worked very hard and spent many thousands of dollars to have our plant compliant urrtiI January 2000. Our operator signed the January form and gave an explanation of the non-compliance. Based on the confidence we have had in the operator in the past, when he presented the MR-1 checked "Compliant" in early March 2000 for signature, Harvey did not check the figures on the front. It is now our belief that the operator intentionally made sure that the February MR-1 was personally signed by us as both protection for himself and as a rebuke to us. The NCDOT has surveyed a portion of our mobile home park and unless major changes are made to their plans for the Highway 64 Bypass east of Raleigh, they have advised us that the highway will be taking out this treatment plant. They have recently notified us that no decision has been made as to how they are going to handle the wastewater from our community. However, we reiterate that we are diligently. working to keep this plant in compliance with NPDES Permit N00040266. We believe that the above information establishes that the violation was inadvertent and we will appreciate a remission of the Civil Penalty assessed of $1,000.00. Thank you for your consideration.

From August 1997 through May 31, 2000 we had only one violation and that violation was totally weather related: record -breaking snowfall and record -breaking freezing temperatures. We hired a new contractor to manage our wastewater facility beginning June 1, 2000 and since that date we have had several flow violations. Each month I contested to the operators that they were reading the flow wrongly. They responded to me that they sincerely hoped they'were wrong and that I was right. The operators even asked Kent Penny of Wake County to check the readings. However, after the flow_mete[jM installed and calibres, accoa ing-to-the PM meter versus the Prior reading. the recorded flow dropped drastically from the previous readinos. At this point instead of outright admitting that obviously they were in fact reading the flow wrong, the operators spent many man hours walking the property looking for ghost leaks and did not find any anywhere. It must be extremely difficult to admit that the prior readings were incorrect — the flow meter proves that point but it still seems that no one will accept that fact. Enclosed is a list of the flow meter readings since its installation to today's date. You will notice that the averaae flow is .018 MGD, well below the permit limit Following are two k4ters fmm DOT that will explain why we delayed installation of the flow meter. The DOT has already marked our treatment plant to be taken out when the 64 Bypass is constructed. You will notice that the first letter dated March 6, 2000 was an Introductory letter and included the phrase "now ready to begin right of way acquisition" and 'will accomplish the acquisition of your property". After that letter I had several meetings with Sheryl Crouse and her supervisor. At the very first meeting I was told that construction would be under way on our property by summer 2001. We received a map of the proposed roads and interchanges and were told that the DOT was trying to decide what to do about wastewater facilities for our community. 13o .A DWQ, DENR May 21, 2001 Page 2 Then after a couple of months when the DOT stopped contacting us, we spoke with Aydren Flowers and he advised us that the part of the project involving us had,been pushed back.

Upon its receipt on October 8 I requested a corrected letter from Mr. Charles Brown. More than two weeks passed before receiving a partially corrected letter. The correct name of our facility is Knightdale Estates MHP limited Partnership, NOT Knightdale, Estates, Inc. • Our new ORC was not familiar with the running of the plant and the Ammonia Nitrogen average was just slightly above 'the limit. Please be advised that _ although the June average was also elevated, the months of July, August and September have been .008, 1.29, and 3.49, all well below the limit of 4.8. • Daily flows are now being shown on the DMR, effective with the September report. • Our ORC, Dan Brisson has now started to visit our facility 8 days out of 10, 80% of the time, as per the regulation cited in your letter.

During the month of June 2001 we were still trying to recover from the mishandling of many phases of our plant by the previous operator. One of these mishandled items caused the electrical problem noted on the DMR. During the previous operator's tenure the company consistently tried to operate both blowers at the same time. During this process we burned up one blower and four 5 HP. motors. The plant is designed electrically and mechanically to run only one blower at the time. The electrical panel box had been overloaded so long and so many -times that in June it completely burned up. At that time we had an electrician to replace with new breaker boxes the entire electrical system for both blowers and there were a number of times that the electrical power would be off in shot intervals. Since the panel boxes have been replaced with new ones, new wiring, etc. there have been no more electrical problems until now and we do not anticipate any electrical problems. 139 In addition our new 4RC was still getting familiar with the running of the plant and although the June average for Ammonia Nitrogen 'was elevated, the months of July, August and September have been .008, 1.29, and 3.49, all well below the limit of 4�$.

Please review the notes on the back of the DMR for October 2001, as well as the following information. We really need these fines dismissed because apparently we have had two sets of operators, certified by the State, that cannot run the plant compliant. We as a permit holder did not cause these fines and we cannot solve the problem overnight However, we have now rehired Guido Carrera, GC Environmental, with big bucks fees but right now the plant looks totally different; it looks the way it is supposed to look. 5// La Is the DWQ interested in clean water or are you interested in fines? We are interested in clean water, we do not need any more fines. Please dismiss these fines. We have struggled with operators with no assistance from your department. All we ever got was a list of certified operators and now we have learned that at least one on that list has serious charges for willfully violating DWQ rules. We respectfully submit this Request for Remission of the $2818.93 penalty and enforcement costs.

Civil Penalty #1 - Failure to properly operate and maintain the wastewater treatment plant on or about January 26, 2001: According to our pennit we are required to employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator in responsible charge (ORC) of our wastewater treatment facility. As evidenced in the list of woladons In Me "Findings and Decisions and Assessment of Civil Penalties ; obviously the operator on or about January 26, 2001 was the party responsible for failure to properly operate and maintain Me plant. The operators were always saying die Blow was too high. We have had many fines because they were saying the flow was too high which also caused Me solids to wash out of the plant which is absolutely not true proven by flow meter records data after flow meter was installed in February 2oo1. %z/ 3 . .s. After the flow meter was installed, the next month was compliant with flow and has been each and every month. In April there were other problems such as fecal and D.O. By the first of year 2001 we realized our operators were not able to run our plant in compliance with our permit and the governmental rules We began to Cautious - look for reputable operators. That was not an easy task as there are very few certified operators interested in a small plant like ours Civil Penalty #2 - Failure to notify DWQ within 24 hours of the noncompliant event as observed on January 26, 2001: It was impossible for me to report it because the operators did not tell me about it On 1126 I happened to stop by and they had already finished cleaning the o eek and reseeding the plant Civil Penalty #3 - Permitting waste to be discharged into the waters of the State in violation of the daily maximum permitted effluent limit for Total Suspended Residue: the mason the plant was discharging solids into the creek is because of excessive wasting causing the solids to be young and fluty and would not sefiAe After the solids were seen by department personnel then the operators reseeded the plant two to three times at extra expense to us but with the reseeding of old mature solids the plant ran better for a while. Attached is a copy of a letter sent to Kenneth Schuster on May 4, 2001 replying to his letter of March 30 concerning this same event. This letter reiterates the position of Knightdale Estates and I hope you will take the information therein under advisement when considering remission. There are two questions I would like to respectfully ask: 1. On what basis were the enforcement costs of $321.10 calculated? 2. Why did it take from May 200E until February 2002 to assess penalties? Dr. Thorpe, as I have said in every letter of this nature, it has always been and continues to be our desire to be in total compliance with the laws, rules, and regulations of our country. We are just a small family business trying to make it in America and in the State of forth Carolina. We do not try to hide anything and we do the hest we can in every circumstance. I think you will agree that the State seems to strongly resist giving us assistance and at the same time works hard at assessing penalties. With that in mind, what's a poor boy to do? We appreciate that some of the previous penalties were reduced but in every case we have asked for remission, not reduction. Not once have we received remission. However, as this and previous requests for remission have shown, incompetent• operators licensed by the State caused the problems. So it is our opinion that because we have already been penalized more than adequate and many, many more charges incurred because of the operators' incompetence, we would ask for total remission of these penalties. Thank you for your consideration. Attachments Sincerely, Harvey Murphrey General Partner l(/s I 1. INTRODUCTION _ _ DWO Meeting December 13, 2001 2. We are owners and operators of Knightdale Estates Mobile Home Park which is a family partnership. We have been law-abiding citizens for 60 years right here in Wake and Johnston County. 3. For 9 years we ran the wastewater treatment facility with operators being 100% compliant excluding one month. 4. In June 2000 we hired EnviroUnk who operated the plant for 12 months, with all 12 months being non -compliant mostly because of false reading of the flow. 5. After a few months of being non -compliant we started searching for new operators. As you may or may not know, It is an extremely difficult task to find capable operators. 6. During this 12 months not only was the plant non -compliant but the operators were uneducated to the mechanical operation of the plant itself. 7. Because of their lack of knowledge 5 blower motors and 1 blower were burned up and the electrical panel which runs all the equipment literally caught fire and totally burned up which had to be replaced by a complete new panel. 8. Because of all this lack of knowledge we spent thousands of dollars in repairs. 9. Not only were we non -compliant for the 12 months, EnviroLink was paid according to written agreement on time every month as if they were operating the plant in compiance. 10.In addition to this, the wa_ sting process was multiplied many times over normal procedures which cost several more thousands of dollars during this 12-month period. 2 or 3 times we paid to re -seed the plant because the good sludge was hauled away. 11. During this same time frame State personnel came to inspect the plant and found solids flowing into the for which EnviroLink also charged us several hundred dollars for the clean-up process. 12. Many, many times while still looking for new operators we questioned what they did and how they did it and the Regional Supervisor also questioned the hows and whys of the operation of the plant and still nothing changed. 2 13.1 personally would like for there to be a policy for the licensed operators to receive the penalties for violations. I strongly believe this would create much better operators. 14. CONCLUSION 15. For 9 years managing this %duty, there was never a flow violation. 16.Our flow meter was installed and calibrated by Mike Oudaw. The flow meter immediately showed the flow averaging approximately .018 which proves the flow was never non -compliant. 17. After the flow meter was installed and calibrated, inspectors requested the flow meter to be re -calibrated — which we did and it is to this day st ll reading .017. .018 .019 million gallons per day which.is only 70 to 75% of yermitked Mgnthly aygraae. 18. Short Story 13. Without any requirement from the Public Water Supply Section we replaced the older outdated fresh water tank with a new state of the art water tank and pump house facility at a cost of over $20,000 in order to furnish our tenants with the best quality of fresh water. 20. We were advised that we needed equalization tanks at the treatment plant. We hired engineers to study and design an equalization system for the treatment plant. This cost a few more thousand dollars. 21.If approved this system will cost in excess of an additional $15,000. 22. Bottom Line 23. We ask for remission of all penalties and we ask to get approval to construct the equalization tanks so that we can spend our money in such a way that we feel strongly would help to improve water quality instead of paying penalties for false violations. 24. Thank you for your time and consideration. / K7 DWQ Meeting July 2002 Gentlemen, my name is Betty Murphrey and I will appreciate your careful attention to what I am going to say. Knightdale Estates MHP Limited Partnership is a small family partnership, with my husband Harvey and I as general partners and our son and daughter involved with the maintenance and accounting. 1. Regarding Case Number PC 01-028 please consider the following: Civil Penalty #1— According to our permit we are required to employ a wastewater treatment plant operator certified by the State. Obviously the operator in January, 2001, (EnviroUnk, Inc.) was the party responsible for failure to properly operate and maintain the plant. By this time in early 2001 we realized our operators were not able to run our plant In compliance with our permit and the governmental rules. We began to very cautiously look for reputable operators - - not an easy task since there are very few interested in a small plant like ours. We did hire another set of operators who were referred by State personnel. These two operators,.Dan Brisson and Charlie Simpson, work for the City of Raleigh fulltime and alas, although they are certified by the state, were unqualified to run our plant to the permit standards and we have had to change operators again. We have been in complete compliance since we hired our present operator in April of this year, Guido Carerra, GC Environmental. Civil Penalty #2 — It was impossible for us to report the noncompliant event because the operators did not tell us about it. On January 26, 2001 Harvey happened to stop by and the operators had already finished cleaning the creek and reseeding the plant. State personnel had already been to the plant and they did not notify us either. We have been penalized by the State for lack of reporting, yet the State nor County personnel rarely ever have the courtesy to notify us where there is a problem or when they need to visit the plant for inspections. I do not understand that as we have never, ever tried to hide anything and we always try our best to comply with all rules and regulations. Civil Penalty #3 — The reason the plant was discharging solids into the creek is because of excessive wasting — another instance of unqualified operators. l,elg We have written other letters regarding this matter — I will not bore you with reading all of them but I hope you will consider them in your decision regarding this matter. 2. Regarding Case #LV 01-390 please consider the following: During the month of June 2001 we were still trying to recover from -the mishandling of many phases of our plant by the previous operator. One of these mishandled items caused the electrical problem as noted on -the DMR. During the previous operator's tenure the company consistently tried to operate both blowers at the same time. During this process we burned up one blower and four 5 HP.motors. The plant is -designed electrically and mechanically to run only one blower at the time. The electrical panel box had been overloaded so long and so many times that in June it completely burned up. At that time we had an electrician to install new breaker boxes for both blowers and there were a number of times that the electrical power would be off in short Intervals. Since the panel boxes have been. replaced with new ones, new wiring, etc. there have been no more electrical problems until now and we do not anticipate any electrical problems. The reason we have been out of compliance is because of unqualified State certified operators. I know this sounds like a broken record but it is TRUE. The same plant that has been out of compliance several times in the past two years is now running perfectly by G C Environmental. Gentlemen, let me advise you that we are now paying $682 per month to pay off penalties of $8,186.98 previously assessed, wrongly in my opinion. And gentlemen, let me also tell you that we are a small Independent family business in times when the economy is very poor, mobile homes are being repossessed by mortgage companies and moved out of our community monthly. Again, because of the economy mobile homes are not being moved in and we are therefore very short on rental receipts. /�9 We also have mortgage payments to make, utilities to pay, workers to pay, these other fines to pay and we just simply cannot afford to pay any more fines. I am asking you and you and you and you and you and you and you to please vote to dismiss these penalties. Thank you. /.5'l9 ./ EFFLUENT ir NPDES PERMIT NO., ,`' G `f :t s� ' L DISCHARGE NO. r: o !

Director Division of Water Quality October 9, 2002 Mr. Joseph Balok Belcross Farm PO Box 416 Moyock, NC 27958 Subject: Notice of Deficiency Animal Compliance Evaluation Site Inspection Belcross Farm Facility No. 15-1 1 Dear Mr. Balok, Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Site Inspection (as viewed in the DWQ database) conducted at the referenced facility by the Division of Water Quality from the Washington Regional Office. Please read this inspection and keep it with all other documents pertaining to your animal operation for future inspections. In general, these inspections included verifying that: (1) the farm has a Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP); (2) the farm is complying with requirements of the State Rules 15 NCAC 21.1.0217, Senate Bill 1217, and the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan; (3) the farm operation's waste management system is being operated properly under the direction of a Certified Operator; (4) the required records are being kept; and (5) there are no signs of seepage, erosion, and/or runoff. The following deficiencies were noted during the inspection: The last soil samples analysis was dated year 2000, with no samples tested during the 2001 calendar year. In accordance with condition III, item 3 of your general permit, you are required to conduct an annual Standard Soil Fertility Analysis, including pH, copper and zinc. Please remember to take soil tests annually. It is also noted that the land owner is not readily forth coming with cropping activities, such as the application of possible commercial fertilizers or time applications. As noted during the inspection it may be possible that a soils test was conducted on the fields which received waste during the 2001 calendar year however any possible copy of the soils test has not been obtained for facility records. It is highly recommended that communication between the animal waste facility operators and the land operators be improved in order for this farm to stay in compliance with it's General Permit. As a reminder, please note the following comments, which are conditions of the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan and the General Permit; therefore, these items must be implemented: cp The maximum waste level in lagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the CAWMP. At a minimum, maximum waste level for waste for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain 25 year, 24 hour storm event plus an additional foot of structural freeboard. ..... ...... ...... .._........_ _.._.�.__An-analysis-ofthe-liquid-animal-waste-from-the-lagoon-shall-be-conducted-as close to the time of application -as- - practical and at least within 60 days (before or after) of the date of application. This analysis shall include the following parameters: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Zinc and Copper. cp Soil analysis is required annually. Lime is to be applied to each receiving crop as recommended by the soil analysis. cp The following records are required: off -site solids removal, maintenance, repair, waste/soil analysis and land irrigation records. These records should be maintained by the facility owner/manager in chronological and legible form for a minimum of three years. y Land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land application rates exceed the Plant Available Nitrogen &AhD rate for the receiving crop or result in nmoffduring an v given aoplication. cp All grassed waterways shall have a stable outlet with adequate capacity to prevent ponding or flooding damages. The outlet can be another vegetated channel, an earth ditch, stabilization structure, or other suitable outlets. 943 Washington Square Mall Washington, NC 27889 (252) 946-6481 (Telephone) (252) 946-9215 (Fax) Customer Service Page 2 Belcross Farm Facility No. 15-11 It is suggested, not a regukern to keep crop yield information for future use to update your waste management plan. You will need three years of crop yield data before your plan can be updated. The OTC has the duties to ensure that waste is applied in accordance with the CAWMP and General Permit by properly managing, supervising, and documenting daily operation and maintenance. The OIC also has the responsibility to certify monitoring and reporting information. The failure of an OIC to perform his/her duties can result in a letter of reprimand, suspension, of certification, or revocation of certificates. For your information, any swine facility that has a discharge to surface waters of the State will have to apply for National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit with the Division of Water Quality, effective January 1, 2001.

QUALITY SECTION Non -Discharge Compliance Enf. In reference to File No. DV 00-029, farm #15-11 we are requesting remission or mitigation of the proposed fine. This problem occurred due to the failure of a pump in the lift station, which caused the lift station to overflow. The pipe that was installed at the request of the local conservation department, located next to the lift station had already been cemented shut prior to this incident. This was done so if the lift station failed no waste would escape from between the buildings. Your sample indicates there was an increased Coliform count where this pipe would have entered the ditch. Since the pipe had been cemented shut we did not consider the possibility waste could reach the ditch. Since the inspection we have spent over $6000.00 redesigning the lift station system. We have designed and installed a special pump that uses a boat propeller to move both wastewater and solids to the lagoon- We have installed an additional pump that serves as a back up to the primary pump and is tied to an alarm that sounds inside the buildings when the second pump turns on but before there is a problem. In addition the site between the buildings has had the top 12 inches of soil removed and composted. It has been replaced with soil and sand. The farm has been inspected twice since this incident and passed with no problems. The pipe that leads to the ditch has been dug up completely eliminating the possibility of any future problems. I would propose to use the money that would be due for the fine to install water nipples in the gestation building that is the primary water source for this lift station. We have done this on three farms in the Gaston, NC area at a cost of $15,000. This has cut our water usage in half and made lagoon management much easier and more able to be planned. I have included a copy of the bill for the first set of equipment excluding labor cost for the water nipples. I would estimate that it would cost $10 per gestation crate to buy and install water nipples. This building has approximately 550 gestation crates, which would make the cost $5500.00. The ultimate plan would be to install nipples in the breeding building, which flows directly to the lagoon, but that would require an additional $5000 and cash flow would not allow that at this time. I have enclosed three pictures of the area in question. Picture #1 is of the general area. You can see the primary pump, which consists, on a five horsepower electric pump that drives a shaft with a propeller attached. It is a 6-inch pipe that contains the propeller. This pump has been very effective in not getting clogged with the solid waste from the buildings. The area around the lift station is clean and dry. Picture #2 is of the primary pump. Picture #3 is of the primary pump in the lift station, along with the back up pump in place. This pump is automatically activated if the level of the lift station exceeds the safe level of the primary pump. An alarm is also activated when this pump is energized. We certainly did not design this system but inherited it when we leased the farm. We have already invested a lot of money on clean up and improvements so that the system can operate properly and efficiently. I hope you will let us invest additional money in improvements instead of a fine. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, �ZZ �� Fred L.

Hardison Date: February 4, 2002 Mr. Cunningham failed to respond to the Notice of Intent (NOI) in a timely manner. Approximately 53 days after receipt of the NOI, this office received a response and it was explained that the problem was draining of the farm entrance road into the ditch and not the storm drainage adjacent to the lift station. It was clear from C. Dunn's inspection that the PVC pipe located in the storm drainage ditch was used to plug the outlet. The samples that were collected indicated that waste had entered into the storm drainage ditch and in the roadside ditch. It is understood that money has been spent at Belcross to improve the lift station and that is commendable, however it was not until this first penalty that Mr. Cunningham has made any adjustments. The farm continued to stock animals, which ultimately provided an income. It should be noted that during past inspections, Mr. Cunningham has been uncooperative or lacked concern for the environment. Based on the information provided and past inspections, granting remission is not suggested.

This problem occurred due to the failure of a pump in the lift station, which caused the lift station to overflow. The pipe that was installed at the request of the local conservation department, located next to the lift station had already been cemented shut prior to this incident. This was done so if the lift station failed no waste would escape from between the buildings. Your sample indicates there was an increased Coliform.count where this pipe would have entered the ditch. Since the pipe had been cemented shut we did not consider the possibility waste could reach the ditch. Since the inspection we have spent over $6000.00 redesigning the lift station system. We have designed and installed a special pump that uses a boat propeller to move both wastewater and solids to the lagoon. We have installed an additional pump that serves as a back up to the primary pump and is tied to an alarm that sounds inside the buildings when the second pump turns on but before there is a problem. In addition the site between the buildings has had the top 12 inches of soil removed and composted. It has been replaced with soil and sand. The farm has been inspected twice since this incident and passed with no problems. The pipe that leads to the ditch has been dug up completely eliminating the possibility of any future problems. I would propose to use the money that would be due for the fine to install water nipples in the gestation building that is the primary water source for this lift station. We have done this on three farms in the Gaston, NC area at a cost of $15,000. This has cut our water usage in half and made lagoon management much easier and more able to be planned. I have included a copy of the bill for the first set of equipment excluding labor cost for the water nipples. I would estimate that it would cost $10 per gestation crate to buy and install water nipples. This building has approximately 550 gestation crates, which would make the cost $5500.00. The ultimate plan would be to install nipples in the breeding building, which flows directly to the lagoon, but that would require an additional $5000 and cash flow would not allow that at this time. 1 have enclosed three pictures of the area in question. Picture #1 is of the general area. You can see the primary pump, which consists, on a five horsepower electric pump that drives a shaft with a propeller attached. It is a 6-inch pipe that contains the propeller. This pump has been very effective in not getting clogged with the solid waste from the buildings. The area around the lift station is clean and dry. Picture #2 is of the primary pump. Picture #3 is of the primary pump in the lift station, along with the back up pump in place. This pump is automatically activated if the level of the lift station exceeds the safe level of the primary pump. An alarm is also activated when this pump is energized. We certainly did not design this system but inherited it when we leased the farm. We have already invested a lot of money on clean up and improvements so that the system can operate properly and efficiently. 1 hope you will let us invest additional money in improvements instead.of a fine. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Sincerely, Fred L.

(Date) rey O. Poupart, Supervisor Non -Discharge Compliance and Enforcement Unit Division of Water Quality Moyock, Office (252) 435-6930 - Fax (252)435-2387 Jim Mulligan, Water Quality Supervisor 943 Washington Square Mall Washington, NC 27889 Dear Mr. Mulligan, 3y _Du 4, _WAFT On October 3 Mr. Carl Dunn met Mr. David Oldham at the Belcross farm for a site inspection due to an anonymous complaint on October 1, 2000. At the time we were applying waste to our fields. This application was closely monitored and there was no run off into any ditches. That same weekend I had a road retrenched along the main ditch leading to Highway 158. Our feed truck had made three long deep holes in the road. These holes retained water every time it rained and became deeper. We cut trenches from the holes to the ditch to let the water drain so that they could dry and then be filled with sand and dirt. There was a tremendous amount of water that drained quickly into this ditch. I believe Mr. Dunn found no violation due to waste application and or this road drainage. The lift station in question is in a confined area between two buildings. We have a hard time with rainwater in this area due to the presence of a surface drain 2 to 3 feet from the lift station. NRCS and Soil and Water designed this drain at the time the lift station was built. It is a very poor location but was put in with cost share money and can not be removed. To prevent any incidents we cemented the drain closed and installed a standpipe to prevent any drainage in case of a pump failure. The water surrounding the lift station was rainwater. I have no doubt that in changing pumps (three times) this year some waste has hit the ground but there has not been a general failure of the system that would have been reportable to DWQ. have checked with the farm personnel and no one has pulled the standpipe. If it had been pulled there would not have been water standing around the lift station when Mr. Dunn visited. Mr. Oldham informed me that water samples taken form a ditch may have had higher then normal coliform counts. I have received no results to confirm this. It is worth noting that the drain field for the office septic tank is in the field adjacent to the ditch in question. We have taken action since Mr. Dunn's visit. Mr. David Oldham who at the time of the inspection has written a Sludge removal plan and a contractor has been retained to remove four inches of dirt from around the lift station. A sample of the sludge has been sent to NCDA for analysis. New dirt and gravel will be installed around the lift station. The lift station has had an additional back up pump installed that will only come on in case of the failure of the first pump. An alarm has been installed to sound on the farm if the second pump operates. We are seeking permission to relocate the surface drain so that rainwater will not stand in this area. This will also be accomplished by grading the soil around the lift station. We have always tried to operate within the guidelines of our nutrient management plan. We have notified the state in every instance in the past if we had a question of a discharge or even a building leak that did not reach state waters. 1 can't help but think that the complaint on Saturday October 1 resulted from the draining of the road into the ditch. If you have any questions please let me know. I am sure you are aware that Mr. Oldham has resigned and it has taken longer than I would have liked to respond to your letter. Sincerely, Fred L. Cunningham Ms. M W1R-0 DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY December 7, 2000 TO: Steve Lewis, Environmental Specialist DWQ Compliance and Enforcement THROUGH: Jim Mulligan, Water Quality Supervisor Washington Regional Office VA FROM: Carl Dunn, Environmental Engineer Washington Regional Office SUBJECT: Enforcement Action Belcross Farm Facility No. 15-11 Camden County INTRODUCTION: Belcross Farm is owned and operated by Williams Farms of North Carolina. The facility is located on US Highway 158 approximately one mile east of Belcross in Camden County. The facility has been permitted as a 1240 farrow to wean operation. REPORT: On September 29, 2000 the Washington Regional Office received a complaint of a possible discharge of animal waste from the Belcross facility due to a faulty lift station. Because of limited staff resources within the office aerial reconnaissance of the farm was done on October 2, 2000. The aerial surveillance showed that there was a possibility that the farm did have a problem with the lift station and that ground truth work would need to be preformed. On October 3, 2000 Carl Dunn of the Washington Regional Office conducted a site investigation with Mr. David Oldham, who was the certified operator of the facility. The site investigation revealed that the lift station located between two animal houses used to convey waste to the lagoon had indeed had a failure. A drain used to convey surface water runoff was located within three feet of the lift station. The drain was plugged at the time of the inspection with a PVC pipe. There were signs of watermarks on the lift station and the PVC pipe that indicated that the waste level had risen above the level of the lift station indicating that the lift station had had a recent failure. Also -the watermark on the PVC pipe indicated that the level of waste ponded above the drain had been approximately one foot deep. Waste was still ponded above the drain approximately three to four inches deep. The only outlet for the waste that had been ponded above the drain was to either go through the drain or be pumped back into the now working lift station. Mr. Oldham was not aware of anyone pumping the ponded waste back into the lift station nor was he aware that the PVC plug had been removed from the drain. Samples were collected from within the drainage system and the outlet ditch for the drain. The results of the samples are in the table below. Drain Drainage Ditch Fecal (cold I00ml) 360,000 76,667 NH3 (mg/L) 84 81 TKN (mg/L) 92 100 NO2 plus NO3 (mg/L) 0.08 0.24 Total P (mg/L) 29 25 The results of the samples indicate a presence of animal waste within the drainage system used to carry surface water away from the area around the lift station as well as the receiving drainage ditch. The conclusion from the results is that the lift station had failed and the animal waste released from the failed lift station had passed through the drainage system and entered into the farm's drainage ditches. The drainage ditches on the farm drain to Indiantown Creek and its connecting canals, which are classified as C SW waters of the State.

P 0 Box 416 Moyock, NC 27958 A" NCDENR NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES October 18, 2000 Subject: Notice of Recommendation of Enforcement Belcross Farm Facility Number 15-11 Camden County Dear Sirs: This'ietter is to notify you that the Washington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality is considering sending a recommendation for enforcement action to the Director of the Division of Water Quality. The recommendation concerns the violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1(a)(1) for discharging animal waste in waters of the State without a permit and for the violation of Swine Waste Operation General Permit Condition III.6. for not reporting to the DWQ Regional Office a failure of a component of your waste collection system. The Belcross Farm is located on Highway 158 approximately one mile east of Belcross in Camden County. The Belcross Farm is permitted to operate as a 1240 farrow to wean facility. An inspection of the facility was conducted on October 3, 2000 by Carl Dunn of the Washington Regional Office. Evidence was found to show that the lift station used to transfer waste from animal houses to the waste lagoon failed to operate properly resulting in a discharge of animal waste to waters of the State. If you have an explanation for these violations, as well as any corrective action taken, that you wish to present, please respond in writing to the Washington Regional Office within ten (10) days after receipt of this Notice. Your explanation will be reviewed and if an enforcement action is still deemed appropriate, your explanation will be forwarded to the Director with the enforcement package for his consideration. 943 Washington Square Mall, Washington, NC 27889 Telephone 252-946-6481 Fax 252-975-3716 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Mike Nixon January 21, 2000 Page 2 1f you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact me at (252) 946-6481, ext. 212 or Carl Dunn, Environmental Engineer, at (252) 946-6481, ext. 208.

This legislation requires the owner of any animal waste management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or more horses, 1,000' or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid waste management system, to designate a properly certified Operator in Charge (OIC). 15A NCAC 8F .0201(a)(2) requires the owner of such a system to designate a new OIC within 30 days of a vacancy of the OIC position. On November 17, 2000, the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission received a letter from David Oldham stating that he resigned as OIC of your facility effective November 17, 2000. Please complete and return the enclosed Operator in Charge designation form to the WPCSOCC, 1618 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C., 27699-1618 within 30 days from the date of this letter.

Thorpe,Water Quality Supervisor Washington Regional Office FROM: Scott Jones, Environmental Technician Water Quality Section, WARO SUBJECT: Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation Mike Duncan Swine Operation - Belcross Farm Camden County INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this memo is to request that the Mike Duncan swine operation - Belcross Farm be Designated as a Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation. A summary of the investigation conducted on March 10, 1994, by Scott Jones, DEM staff, is enclosed as follows: Date of Inspection: March 10, 1994 Name of Property Owner: Mr. Mike Duncan Name of Operator: Mr. Mike Duncan Address: Post Office Box 106 Shawboro, NC 27973 Phone Number: (919) 232-2531 Description of Facility Location: The facility is located off North Carolina Highway 158 approximately one mile east of Belcross in Camden County. Type of Operation (Examples; farrow to finish, topping, dairy, swine, cattle, chickens - layers or broilers, turkey production, etc.): This facility is a swine breeding/farrowing operation incorporating flush gutter houses. Number and Type of Animals: This facility houses 600 sows and.litters. Length of Time Animals Have Been, Are, or Will Be Stabled or Confined and Fed or Maintained in any 12 Month Period: Swine are housed at the facility the entire year. Are Crops, Vegetation Forage Growth, or Post -Harvest Residues Sustained in the Normal Growing Season Over Any Portion of the Lot or Facility? Craps are gra n on adjacent acreage. Description of Other Animal Operations in Immediate Vicinity or Proximity to Same or Other Surface Waters: There are no other known operations in the vicinity. Proximity of Facility to Neighboring Houses, Wells, etc.: The nearest home is approximately 1000 feet from the operation across N.C. Highway 158. Approximate Depth of Groundwater Table in the Area of the Facility or Discharge: Seasonal high wetness condition and/or groundwater condition was estimated to vary between 0 and 36 inches over the entire site. Proximity of Facility to Surface Waters (provide name and class -of surface waters): Facility is adjacent to an unnamed tributary to Indiantown Creek which is classified C Sw within the Pasquotank River Basin. Are Pollutants Discharged into the Waters of the State?. If so, How? (directly or by man-made ditch, flushing system, or other similar man-made device): Facility was land applying waste to agricultural field in sufficient quantity to create runoff to the unnamed tributary to Indiantown Creek. Additionally, spray irrigation was occurring over two filed ditches which flowed to the same tributary. Do or Have Discharges Occurred in Response to a Storm Event of Less Than a 25- year, 24-hour Intensity (if yes, include a brief listing of incidents and suspected causes): This discharge has not occurred in response to a storm event. However, recent rainfall events have contributed to increased land application. Type of Waste Management (Examples: type of confinement - free stall barns, sheltered or limited shelter dirt lots, paved or dirt open lots, swine houses, pasture; type of waste handling - direct spreading in solid form, slotted floors with lagoon or pit, single or multi -cell lagoon, aerated lagoon, land application of liquid manure, spray irrigation, contractor disposal, etc.): The swine are housed in multiple flush gutter houses. The wastewater flows to a primary and secondary lagoon. Ultimate waste disposal is performed by spray application on adjacent crop land. condition of Waste Management Facility (rate as poor -good, no discharge, sufficient freeboard in lagoon, etc. Include weather conditions during inspection.): Mostly cloudy and showers with temperature around 600. Light winds. The overall condition of the facility was fair. Lagoons had less than one foot of freeboard at time of inspection. This farm shares its application with another animal operation. As a result application events at the two farms must be coordinated. Waste was observed discharging to an unnanmed tributary of Indiantown Creek via runoff from spray irrigation. Animal Waste Discharge including photos and witness' names, addresses, telephone numbers, and statements of fact): Please note the attached photographs for your reference. Scott Jones, DEM staff, of the Washington Regional office, (919) 946- 6481, was present at the facility and observed the discharge. Water Quality Assessment (Include description of sampling, field measurements, visual observations and slope and vegetative cover of land adjacent to water, extent of rainfall and other factors relative to the likelihood or frequency of discharge of animal wastes and process wastewaters): Discharges were pink in color and were flowing into an unnamed tributary of Indiantown Creek. No field measurements were taken. Recommendations Made to Owner/Operator: Mr. Duncan was informed at the time of inspection that any discharge was to be eliminated. He was also urged to contact Jahn Timmons with Camden County SCS office to obtain proper application rates and cost share information regarding additional application equipment. Recommendations for Further DEM Action (Re -inspect, designate, etc.): T h e Washington Regional Office recommends the Mike Duncan Swine Operation - Belcross Farm be designated as a Concentrated Animal Feeding operation. other Comments: This facility was observed spraying waste over two field ditches which flowed to an unnamed tributary of Indiantown Creek by DEM staff in the area. Mr. Duncan was not present at the facility upon arrival. A maintenance worker was informed of the reason for the inspection and immediately shut down the application equipment. Mr. Duncan was contacted and soon arrived on site. He was cooperative with DEM staff. Mr. Duncan explained that he had recently made application to expand the lagoon and spray application site with the local SCS office. Part of this site was thought to be wetlands and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was consulted. They ultimately approved the expansion. In the mean time, SCS was designated the lead agency in delineating agricultural wetlands and reversed the Corps' decision on the site in question. Mr. Duncan feels the facility's inability to expand its wastewater capabilities has led to this discharge. He is in the process of appealing the decision. On February 22, 1994, DEM staff were in this area and noticed "pink water" in the same tributary which flows to Indiantown Creek. A visit was made to Mr. Duncan's operation; however, no discharge was found. A PVC pipe which ran from the office bathroom to a nearby drainage ditch was discovered. Mr. Duncan was informed that this disposal method was illegal. Mr. Ralph Holowell with the local Health Department was contacted and visited the site. The pipe was removed and arrangements for a.subsurface system to serve the ❑ffice have been made. Scott Jones and Deborah Sawyer of the Washington Regional Office were present during the February 22"d visit.
