Subject: Animal Compliance Inspection
Year 2001
William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Kerr T. Stevens
Division of Water Quality
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 2110217, 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.
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 lagoonststorage 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
4p An analysis of the 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.
(p Land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case hall land application rates exceed the Plant
Available Nitrogen (PAN) rate for the receiving crop or result in runoff during anv given am )hcation.
(p 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.
cp 1t is suggested, not a requirantent, 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.
For your information, any swine facility that has a discharge to surface waters of the State will have to apply for a National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit with the Division of Water Quality, effective January 1, 2001.
'shank you for your assistance and cooperation during the inspection. If you have any questions, please contact me at 252-946-

Facility No. #46-3
Hertford County
Dear Mr. Merritt:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Animal Feedlot Operation Site Inspection (as it'is
viewed in DWQ database) conducted at the referenced facility by the Division of Water
Quality fromthe 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
It is suggested to contact your Technical Specialist for assistance on the following: 1)
Have your waste plan revised to match your irrigation design and to. make sure there are
enough acres under this design that will accommodate the amount of nitrogen generated
on this farm. This will verify if the waste plan will meet the wetted acre requirements. 2)
Check the accuracy of the lagoon marker in comparison to the lagoon wall:

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:
. The maximum waste level in lagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in
the CAWMP "Af a�minimum` maximuim waste level for waste for.Iagoons/stoiage" .
ponds must notexceed the -level that provides adequate storage to contain 25 year, 24
hoots storm event phis an.additianal foot .o€structural freeboard.
tp . An analysis of the ligtud `animal waste from the lagoon shall be conducted yas close to.
the time of application as practical and at least within 60 days (before or after) ofthe
date of application: This analysis shall include the following parameters: Nitrogen,
Phosphorus, Zinc and Copper.
cp _ Soil analysis is required annually
cp ` The %llowing records are required: ramfaIi and 'lagoon level data, off -site solids
removal, maenance, repair, waste/sod .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 crop
or result in runoff during anv Give alication. .
q) 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.
cp 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.
(p 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.
Thank you for your assistance and cooperation during the inspection. Ifyou have any
questions, please contact me at 252/946-6481, ext. 318 or your Technical Specialist.

Producer may need to look at lagoon agitation to pick up additional nutrients or consider adding aupplemental nitrogen to pastures. It
appears that even with a good pumping schedule the amount of nitrogen being applied is less that the crop can use. This is a decision
at the producer can make. No additional nitrogen is required, however it is suggested that the grass or hay produced be monitored to
help get a handle on possible deficiencies.
Suggest to start pumping immediately if weather permits.
