In general, this inspection included verifying that: (1) the farm is complying with requirements of the State Rules 15 NCAC 2H.0217, Senate Bill 1217, the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan and/or General Permit; (2) determine whether the waste utilization plan is based on total or actual wetted acres; (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; (5) there are no signs of seepage, erosion, and/or runoff. The following deficiency was noted during the inspection. tP In accordance with condition Ili, item 3 of your general permit, you are required to conduct an annual Standard Soil Fertility Analysis, including pH, copper and zinc. Could not locate a soil analysis for year 2000 during the inspection or on the NCDA website. Make sure to have the results of the soil analysis available for future inspections. As a reminder, please note the following 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 hours storm event plus an additional foot of structural freeboard. [p Soil analysis is required annually to The following records are required: rainfall and lagoon level data, off -site solids removal, maintenance, repair, wastelsoil 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. T 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 crgp Or result in runoff during any give application, tP Keep lagoons/storage ponds free of foreign debris including, but not limited to tires, bottles, plastic products, light bulbs, gloves, syringes or any other solids waste. 9 The lagoon areas should be kept mowed or otherwise controlled and accessible. High grass does not allow you to conduct a thorough inspection of the lagoon area for seepage, rodent damage, etc. cp It is suggested not r uired to keep crop yield information for future use to update your waste management plan. You will need three years of crap yield data before your plan can be updated. 943 Washington Square Mall Washington, NC 27889 252-946-6481 (Telephone) 252-946-9215 (Fax) Page Two Chris Murphy Swine Farm # 40-62 Thank you for your assistance and cooperation during the inspection.
