SUBJECT: Notice of Deficiency
Animal Feedlot Operation Compliance Inspection
Kendall Howell Farm
Facility No. 40-152
Greene County
Dear Mr. Howell:
Wiilfiam G. Ross Jr., Serxetary
Departmerd of Environment and Natural Resources
Gregory J. Thorpe, Ph.D., Acting Director
Division of Water Quality
On March 14, 1 conducted an Animal Feedlot Operation Compliance Inspection at the Kendall Howell Farm in
Greene County. A letter dated May 1, 2001 was sent to you regarding the subject facility requesting records from
your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan to complete the Compliance Inspection. The requested CAWMP
records were received by the DWQ Washington Regional Office on May 10, 2001. A copy of the revised
inspection report is attached for your review.
In general, this inspection is to determine 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 15 NCAC
2H.0217, Senate Bill 1217, the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan and the General Permit; (3) the farm
operation's waste management system is being operated property 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
deficiencies were observed during the inspection.
The vegetation around the lagoon structures needs to be removed and maintained at a manageable level.
This is a requirement of this facility's Operation & Maintenance Plan and General Permit for visual inspections
of the lagoon dike walls. This was noted in the Compliance Inspection on March 14, 2001 and also during the
Division of Soil and Water Conservation Operation Review conducted on July 11, 2001. The visual
inspections are important to monitor the integrity of the lagoon dike walls.
➢ The Operation Review conducted on July 11, 2001 also indicated that your Certified Animal Waste
Management Plan records old not include a sal analysis for 1999. In Section Ill. Monitoring and Reporting
Requirements, item number 3 of the General Permit it is a requirement that a sal analysis be collected annually
on each application field receiving animal waste. Further, Section 11. 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 infor►rration is received from your annual sal analysis.
It was also noted that the freeboard level for this facility is within compliance of greater than 19 inches, however it
should be considerably lower due to the end of growing season that is approaching and the time of the year with
possible tropical storms and hurricanes with associated heavy rainfall events.
It is very important as the owner and the Operator in Change 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.

Dear Mr. Howell:
Michael F. Easley
Governor
William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Gregory Thorpe, Acting Director
Division of Water Quality
Enclosed please find a copy of the Animal Feedlot Operation Site Inspection (as it is viewed in DWQ database)
conducted on February 13, 2002 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, this inspection included verifying that: (1) the farm is complying with requirements of the State
Rules 15 NCAC 2H.0217, Senate Sill 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 deficiencies were
noted during the inspection.
Irrigation events in June 2001 were outside of the sixty -lay requirement of the most current waste analysis. Inn
accordance with condition III, item 4 of your General Permit, an analysis of animal waste shall be conducted
as close to the time of application as practical and at least within 60 days (before or after) of date of
application- The analysis shall include the following parameters: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Zinc and Copper. It
is suggested to collect waste sample quarterly.
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 lagoomslstorage 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
cp Soil analysis is required annually
(p 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.
cp 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 ;dive almfication.
ap. In accordance with you waste utilization plan, the irrigation application events should not exceed the hydraulic
loading as specified per the soil type and in. no case should an irrigation event exceed one inch tier acre.
cp 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.
(p 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 required 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

Gregory Thorpe, Acting Director
Division of Water Quality
Enclosed please find a copy of the Animal Feedlot Operation Site inspection (as it is viewed in DWQ database)
conducted on February 13, 2002 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, 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 deficiencies were
noted during the inspection.
Irrigation events in June 2001 were outside of the sixty-day requirement of the most current waste analysis. In
accordance with condition III, item 4 of your General Permit, an analvsis of animal waste shall be conducted
as close to the time of application as practical and at least within 60 days (before or after) of date of
application. The analysis shall include the following parameters: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Zinc and Copper. It
is suggested to collect waste sample quarterly.
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:
(p ..,_The_ maximum waste level iu_lagoons/slorage 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
(p 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.
cp 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.
(p In accordance with you waste utilization plan, the irrigation application events should not exceed the hydraulic
loading as specifiedper the soil type and in no case should an irrigation event exceed one inch per acre.
(p 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.
(p The lagoon areas should be kept mowed or otherwise controlled and accessible_ Higb grass does not allow
you to conduct a thorough inspection of the lagoon area for seepage, rodent damage, etc.
cp It is suaaested not repaired to keep crop yield infonnation for future use to update your waste management
plan. You v-rill need three years of crop yield data before your plan can be updated

Animal Feedlot Operation Compliance Inspection
Kendall Howell Farm
Facility No. 40-152
Greene County
Dear Mr. Howell:
KV f�o Michae! F. Easley
Governor
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
Department of Environment and Natural Resoruoes
Gregory J_ Thorpe, Ph.D., Acting Director
Division of Water Qualtty
On March 14, 1 conducted an Animal Feedlot Operation Compliance inspection at the Kendall Howell Farm in
Greene County. A letter dated May 1, 2001 was sent to you regarding the subject facility requesting records from
your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan to complete the Compliance Inspection. The requested CAWMP
records were received by the DWQ Washington Regional Office on May 10, 2001. A copy of the revised
inspection report is attached for your review.
In general, this inspection is to determine 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 15 NCAC
2H.0217, Senate Bill 1217, the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan and the General Permit; (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, andlor runoff. The following
deficiencies were observed during the inspection.
9 The vegetation around the lagoon structures needs to be removed and maintained at a manageable level.
This is a requirement of this facility's Operation & Maintenance Plan and General Permit for visual inspections
of the lagoon dike walls. This was noted in the Compliance Inspection on March 14, 2001 and also during the
Division of Soil and Water Conservation Operation Regrew conducted on July 11, 2001. The visual
inspections are important to monitor the it degrity of the lagoon dike walls.
D The Operation Review conducted on July 11, 2001 also indicated that your Certified Animal Waste
Management Plan records old not include a soil analysis for 1999. In Section Ill. Monitoring and Reporting
Requirements, item number 3 of the General Permit it is a requirement that a soil analysis be collected annually
on each application field receiving anirrral waste_ Further, Section [I- Operation and Maintenance Requirements,
Rem number 3 requires that Gme be applied, as needed, to maintain sal pH in the optimum range for crop
production. This inkwma ion is received from your annual sal analysis.
It was also noted that the freeboard level for this facility is within compliance of greater than 19 inches, however it
should be considerably lower due to the end of growing season that is approaching and the time of the year with
possible tropical storms and hurricanes with associated heavy rainfall events.

Subject. Notice of Violation and Revocation for Nonpayment
Kendall Howell Farm
Permit Number: AWS400152
Greene County
In accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.10G, all animal operations who receive an animal
waste management system permit will be charged in each year of the term an annual permit fee. Annual permit fees are
billed following the issuance of the permit and then annually thereafter on the anniversary of that date. Your animal waste
management system permit was issued on 2/10/99.
Your annual permit fee for the period of 2/10/99 - 2/9/2000 is $150.00. Your payment was due 4/17/99. Because
this fee was not fully paid within 30 days after being billed, this letter initiates action to revoke the subject permit, pursuant
to 15 NCAC 2H .0205 (c) (4). and G.S. 143-215.1 (b) (3).
Effective 60 days from receipt of this notice, the subject permit is hereby revoked unless the required Annual
Animal Waste Management System Permit fee for your animal operation is received within that time. Operation of an
animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and is
subject to the assessment of a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day. Your payment should be sent to:
