Dear Mr. Jones:
On May 26, 2000,1 conducted an Animal Feedlot Operation Compliance Inspection at the J & J Swine
Farm in Greene County. A copy of the inspection report is attached for your review.
In general, this inspection included verifying that: (1) the farm has a Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CAWMP) and the General Permit; (2) the farm is complying with requirements of the State Rules IS
NCAC 2H 0217, Senate Bill 1217, the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan and the General Permit;
(3) the farnf operation's waste management system is being operated properly under the direction of a
s ; i
Certified Operator; (4) the required records are being kept; (5) there are no signs of seepage, erosion,
and/or.runoEE The following deficiencies were observed during the inspection.
➢ Your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan records did not include a soil analysis for 1999. In
Section III. Monitoring and Reporting Requirements, item number 3 of the General Permit it is a
=,, ":',,.i
requirement that a soil analysis be collected annually on each application field receiving animal waste.
-.^--..•I
Further, Section ff. Operation and Maintenance Requirements, item number 3 requires that lime be
applied, as needed, to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production. This information is
.
received from your annual soil analysis.
➢ The freeboard level records of the CAWMP were incomplete. Freeboard levels were not maintained
weekly from October 1999 through December 1999. As a requirement of your General Permit,
weekly freeboard levels must be maintained at all times.
-
It is very important as the owner and the Operator in Charge that you resolve these aforementioned
deficiencies and any other problems that may arise, as soon as possible. Nothing in this letter should be
taken as absolving this facility of the responsibility and liability of any violations that have resulted or
_- - - - - -
may result from these deficiencies.

Thank you for your cooperation and assistance during the inspection. Should you have further questions
or comments regarding this inspection, do not hesitate to call at [phone], ext. 321.
