Dear Gene Perry;
During the 1999 session, the North Carolina General Assembly passed a law directing the North
Carolina Department of Environment of Natural Resources (DENR) to develop an inventory and
ranking of all inactive lagoons and storage ponds in the State. In order to meet this directive, a
representative of DENR has recently evaluated the inactive lagoon(s) and/or storage pond(s) on your
property. Inactive lagoons and storage ponds were defined by the Statute as structures which were
previously used to store animal waste but have not received waste for at least one year.
The information collected on your property is contained in the attached field data sheets. Using
this field data, staff ranked your inactive waste structures as, high, medium or low according to its
potential risk for polluting surface and/or groundwater. Your waste structure(s) was ranked as
follows:
Structure Number
1
Surface Area (Acres) Ranking
0.06 Medium
This ranking is based in part on the conditions existing on the day of the site visit. Changes in
these conditions or the collection and evaluation of additional data may modify the ranking of your
waste structure(s) in the future.
Information on your facility along with over 1000 others contained in the inventory has been
provided to the General Assembly. During this year's session, the General Assembly will consider
additional requirements for future management of these structures which may include requiring
proper closure of inactive lagoons and storage ponds according to current or alternative standards.

Animal Waste Management System
Page 2
Regardless of their ranking, owners of all waste lagoons and storage ponds have certain
management responsibilities. These include taking appropriate actions to eliminate current
discharges, prevent future discharges and to insure the stability of their structures. Staff of the
Division of Water Quality will be in contact with owners of all inactive structures that have been
detdrmined to pose a serious environmental risk, based on its ranking and/or additional field data
collected by the Department.
All liquids and waste removed from these structures must be land applied at a rate not to exceed
the agronomic needs of the receiving crops. Any major modifications made to the dike walls or
structure must be done in accordance with current standards and under the direction of a technical
specialist designated for structural design. Your local Soil and Water Conservation District is an
excellent source for information and guidance related to proper waste application practices, structure
operation and maintenance, and other related animal waste management standards and/or
requirements.
Nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility and liability for
any past or future discharges from your lagoon(s) and/or storage pond(s) or for any violations of
surface water or groundwater quality standards.
Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in this process. If you have questions concerning
your inactive structures, please contact the staff of either in the Division of Water Quality or the
Division of Soil and Water Conservation in the Washington'Regional Office at [phone].
Sincerely,

Subject: Animal Waste Lagoons
Facility No. 72-26
Perquimans County
Dear Mr. Perry:
On November 16, 1995 staff from the Washington Regional Office of the Division of
Environmental Management inspected the lagoons serving your animal feeding operations. It was
observed that your lagoon had an insufficient amount of freeboard, water level in relation to the
lowest point of your dike wall. You should maintain a minimum of nineteen inches of freeboard
in the Iagoon. This letter is written to bring your attention to this situation and to ask you to,
begin spray irrigating wastewater or take the appropriate action necessary to reduce the level of
your lagoon(s) immediately. Please note that a buffer of twenty-five feet must be maintained
while spray irrigating from any drainage system (ditch, swale, canal, stream, etc.).
Please be aware that it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge
wastewater to the surface waters (farm ditches, creeks streams, etc) of the State without a
permit. The Division of Environmental Management has the authority to levy a fine of not more
than $10,000 per day for the unpermitted discharge of wastewater into the surface waters of the
State. At some point in the future, staff will reinspect your facility. Lagoon dikes should be kept
mowed so they can be visually inspected.
If you have any questions in regard to this letter I can be contacted at [phone].
Sincerely,
Lyn Hardison
