IN THE MATTER OF
William H. McLean, Jr.
Trumpeter Creek Farms #1 and #2
PO Box 151
Rocky Point, N.C. 28451
Respondent
f
Administrative Compliance Order
Section 309(a) of the Clean Water Act
Docket No. CWA-AO-99-019
ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLIANCE ORDER
1. STATUTORY AUTHORITY
1. The following FINDINGS are made and ORDER is issued under the authority
vested in the Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by .
Sections 308 and 309(a) of the Clean Water Act (herein "the Act"), 33 U.S.C. §§ 1318 and
1319(a). The Administrator of EPA has delegated the authority to issue this Order to the
Regional Administrator of EPA Region 4, who has further delegated this authority to the Director
of the Water Management Division
2. William H. McLean, Jr., is an individual doing business as Trumpeter Creek Farms
#1 and #2 (herein "the Respondent") and as such, the Respondent is a "person" as that term is
defined at section 502(5) of the Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1362(5), and 40 C.F.R. § 122.2.
3. At all times relevant to this Order, the Respondent owned or operated a swine
finishing facility located in Pender County, North Carolina (herein "the facility"), and was

therefore an "owner or operator" within the meaning of 40 C.F.R. § 122.2.
4. The facility is an "animal feeding operation' as defined in 40 C.F.R. § 122.23(b)
because:
i. Animals are stabled or confined, and fed or maintained for a total of 45 days or
more in any 12 month period; and,
ii. Crops, vegetation forage growth, or post harvest residues are not sustained in the
normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility.
5. The facility has in excess of 8000 head of swine when in operation, which equals
3200 animal units as set out in 40 C.F.R. Part 122, Appendix B.
6. Agricultural wastes (including animal manure) is included in the definition of
"pollutants" set out in section 502(6) of the Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1362(6) and 40 C.F.R. § 122.2
7. The facility constitutes a "concentrated animal feeding operation" (CAFO) under
40 C.F.R. Part 122, Appendix B, because it has over 1000 animal units. The facility has also
discharged pollutants in other than a 25 year, 24 hour storm event.
8. A CAFO is a point source as defined in section 502(14) of the Act, 33 U.S.C.
§1362(14).
9. On May 21, 1998, representatives of the EPA, Region 4, and the State of North
Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources conducted an on -site
inspection of this facility.
10. During the May 21, 1998 inspection of the facility, evidence of 'a discharge of
pollutants to waters of the U.S. within the meaning of 40 C.F.R § 122.2, from a point source was
observed. Swine waste from a lagoon located at the facility was sprayed from a spray riser at an
irrigation site (spray field), and was observed running off of the field channelizing into a ditch
adjacent to the spray field, and entering waters of the U.S.

11. Under section 301 of the Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1311, it is unlawful for any person to
discharge any pollutant from a point source to waters of the United States except with the
authorization of, and in compliance with, an NPDES permit issued pursuant to section 402 of the
Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1342.
12. Section 402(a) of the Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1342(a), provides that the Administrator of
EPA may issue permits under the NPDES program for the discharge of pollutants from point
sources to waters of the U.S. Any such discharge is subject to such specific terms and conditions
as are prescribed in the applicable permit.
13. The State of North Carolina is a state approved under Section 402(b) of the Act,
33 U.S.C. § 1342(b), to administer the NPDES permit program, including the -issuance of permits.
for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations.
14. The Respondent has not obtained NPDES permit coverage from an individual
permit for discharges from the facility.
15. The facility, therefore, is in violation of section 301(a) of the Act for discharging
pollutants through a point source into waters of the U.S. without an NPDES permit.
In ORDER
16. Based on the foregoing Findings and pursuant to the -authority of sections 308
and 309 of the Act, 33 U.S.C. §§ 1318 and 1319, EPA hereby ORDERS the Respondent to take
the following action:
A. The Respondent must immediately tape all necessary measures to prevent any

of the discharge, action taken to prevent recurrence of a discharge, and the size of any
precipitation event during the discharge. If any discharge is observed, a sample of this discharge
shall be taken and the sample shall be analyzed for fecal coliform pursuant to 40 C.F.R. 136
sampling and analytical methods. This visual inspection program shall be on -going until the
facility receives an NPDES permit from the State of North Carolina.
C. Within 30 days of the effective date of this Order, the Respondent shall submit the
Mowing information concerning any discharges of pollutants to waters of the U.S. within the last

Dear Mr. Mclean:
On September 4,1998 in response to your request, I visited your animal operation and the
lagoon serving this operation. It was observed that the lagoon had 2.4 feet of freeboard. At this
time there is no indication of waste seepage through the dike walls in the areas of concern. It was
also noted however, that the spray fields were saturated and the cover crops are in need of
improvement. While two of the fields are in the process of being improved and replanted, the
remaining fields are in need of cutting and further weed control. Application of animal waste to
any field without an appropriate cover crop is not consistent with best management practices and
may be a violation of the animal waste rules.
In order for this office to agree with your request to stock your operation to full capacity.
You must complete the planned improvements to your spray fields and maintain the appropriate
crop and acreage rotation required by USDA-NRCS requirements. USDA--NRCS requirements
specify that animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops. And that waste nutrients
shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for
leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable
winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30
days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil.
Please notify this office when the required actions have been completed to comply with
your waste management plan and a stocking date has been set. Failure to do §o may result in the
facility losing it's deemed permitted status and being required to obtain an individual non
discharge permit for the facility.

Mr. McLean:
I have not received any response from Murphy Farms or from you concerning the dates which
Trumpeter Creek Farm would have the spray fields planted and the lagoon freeboard level down
to the permanent pool level for inspection. As I recall, in February when we met, the beginning
of June was given as a reasonable time to complete these tasks. On May 21, 1998, during a
follow-up inspection the early June date appeared to be feasible. I asked Mr. Elkin again in mid -
June when completion was expected and have not been given a date. Therefore, after a
conversation with Mr. Dan Sams this morning, I am setting a deadline of August 2, 1998. Dan
and I will conduct a follow-up inspection on or about August 3, 1998, to confirm the condition of
the inner lagoon liner and the completion of the spray field establishment. If you have any
further questions, I can be reached at the number below.

This is a violation of Part III. Monitoring and Reporting Requirements, Section 6(e) of your
permit.
In addition, the debris pile in spray field un4 should be removed. The appropriate cover crop
must be re -seeded. Erosion areas on the outer dike wall of the lagoon should be filled with a
suitable clay material, compacted and re -seeded with an appropriate vegetative cover. The waste
application records should be kept by pull number and field number, using the correct wetted
acreage. The coastal Bermuda crop in fields un2 and un3 must be established.
The Division of Water Quality may proceed to revoke Trumpeter Creek Farms #1 and #2's
permit unless the following conditions are completed:
1. Immediately eliminate the discharge of wastewater and/or list actions to correct the noted
violations.
2. Make any modifications needed to ensure there will be no future discharges.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, you must notify this office in writing within seven (7)
days of the receipt of this notice, what actions will be taken to comply with your permit. Failure
to do so may result in the facility losing its permitted status and being required to obtain an
individual nondischarge permit.
Please be advised that this assessment does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from
taking enforcement actions for this violation or any past or future violations.
When the required corrective actions are complete, please notify this office in writing. If you
have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Brian Wrenn or Dave Holsinger at 910-

Dave,
I apologize for the lateness of this reply. Apparently your letter of May 8, 1998 was mis-directed
somewhere along the line.
I visited the site on Thursday, May 22nd. The lagoon freeboard was observed to be roughly three
feet. In addition, some work has been done on two sections of the dike wall structure. I could
not see any liquid exiting the dike walls at the time of this visit. However, there is an obvious
change in the vegetative cover in the areas where the seeps have occurred. This may indicate that
while there is an absence of visible flow, some transmission of liquid continues to occur,
although greatly reduced because of the pool level.
I have consulted with Mr. Dan Sams, P.E. with the Land Quality Section. In his opinion:
"Unless the water level is brought down and the leak source points are found, this or any other
theory is just that. Mr. Elkin may be correct or there could be larger problems. Regardless, I
remain concerned that this problem will return if and when the operator allows the water level to
raise into what should be the freeboard level." I have asked Dan to re -visit the site when he has
time to see if there is any indication to lessen our concerns.
At this time, we feel that the lagoon will need to have the pool level
lowered to a point at which we all are comfortable that all of the possible
sources of seepage are found and appropriately repaired. # �►

I visited Trumpeter Creek Farm owned by William Mclean on May 6 1998. The liquid
level in the lagoon was at 30 inches. The irrigation reel was running while I was on site
and the seepage has completely stopped.
There are no signs to indicate a point where seepage initiated or exited the dike. It
appears that the seepage started through small cracks due to the desiccation of the upper
portion of the exposed clay liner in isolated areas.
Within the next 10 days the repairs to the lagoon will be started. The areas on the inside
slope of the dike above the flagged seepage points will be scraped from the top to near the
water surface. The liner will then be compacted and clay added as needed to reach the
required 1.5' clay liner thickness. 'Additionally, concrete collars will be poured around
the two force mains in the dike to prevent piping along those penetrations. Upon
completion of this work animals will be placed in this facility.
If you have any questions, please call me at 910-289-6439 ext. 4529.

Dave Holsinger, Division of Water Quality
Trumpeter Creek Farm
Hampstead, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Sams:
I am in receipt of'the referenced memorandum to ,Mr. Holsinger relative to your review of the
S&ME, Inc. Geotechnical Report associated with an evaluation of swine waste lagoon
embankments at the Trumpeter Creek Farm near Hampstead, North Carolina. I must admit that I
ani disappointed at the comments in your memorandum and must take exception to the contents
of this document.
The memorandum was apparently prepared without proper technical review of the Geotechnical
Report, prepared based upon misinterpretation of geotechnical engineering data, and/or prepared
under the influence of both of the previous factors. Had a proper review of the report been made,
the issues raised concerning elevations at boring locations and the modeled phreatic surface
within the embankments would not have been raised.
Both pages 1 and 2 of the report indicate that topographic survey data collected by S&ME
personnel were utilized to develop embankment eross-sections. These surveydata' were based
upon an established temporary benchmark so that the indicated relative differences in elevations

between borings and embankment sections were determined and used to model the geometry of
critical sections.
Measured water levels in piezometers did indicate the presence of a "depressed" seepage line,
likely warped by the presence of cleaner sands in the lower portion of the embankment. These
conditions were readily apparent during the review provided by the author of this letter. As such,
an elevated phreatic surface was recommended and utilized in the slope stability analyses for the
two critical sections. The elevated phreatic surfaces used in analyses are clearly shown in
Figures 5 and 6 of the Geotechnical Report.
The author of this report recommends that you contact S&ME, Inc. in the future if you have
questions concerning the technical contents and/or data in a published S&ME report before
issuing statements such as, "We have the above stated skepticism of the S&ME report.`_" in a
public document. A quick phone call to Mike Behen and/or the author of this letter would have
clarified any questions you might have had and prevented a disturbing situation involving
misinterpretation of information.

SUBJECT: Lagoon Failure
Trumpeter Creek Farm
Pender County
On February 24, 1998, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality inspected the Trumpeter Creek Farm. At the time of this inspection, the lagoon
had insufficient freeboard of 6 inches and seepage through the embankments was found in
several different locations along the entire dike wall structure. Upon further inspection on
February 24, the seepage appeared to be severe in at least three locations (see attached sheet.)
The color, chemistry and consistency of the liquid discharging from the structure indicates that
a direct flow of waste is exiting through the embankment. Mr. Dan Sams, P.E., DENR Land
Quality Section, was asked to provide a further technical evaluation and recommendations for
the appropriate actions needed.
In discussions with Mr. Mclean and representatives of Murphy Family Farms (MFF), it
was agreed that several actions were warranted as follows:
Remove all animals from site.
2. immediately begin the lower the lagoon pool level in an acceptable manner.
3. The location and extent of the seepage areas were flagged and noted. Any enlargement
of the existing seepage areas and/or the development of new seeps could be easily
monitored.

3. Retain a qualified Professional Engineer to properly evaluate the structural stability and
the integrity of the lagoons containment.
4. Implement any repair or renovation required for the structure prior to the facility
being able to resume operating.
On February 25, 1998, two additional seeps were noted on the lagoon embankments.
However, the existing seepage areas appeared to have remained unchanged. By February 28,
several more seepage areas had appeared in spite of the efforts of Mr. Mclean and MU to
lower the lagoon pool level. At this time seepage areas were apparent on all but one side of
the lagoons structure.
On March 18, 1998, a follow-up site visit was performed. It was found that the lagoon
level had been lowered to approximately sixteen inches. All of the additional equipment that
MFF had mobilized to remove waste from the lagoon had been removed leaving Mr. Mclean
with his single Rain Reel to continue to lower the pool level.
On March 20, 1998, I received a copy of the subject evaluation report from S&ME. I
forwarded a copy of this report to Mr. Dan Sams for his review.
On March 24, 1998, I contacted Mr. Dave Elkin of MFF. At this time I re -iterated that
the lagoon level needed to be Iowered as soon as possible. And that although we continued to
review the provided report, the lagoon was still seeping waste through the embankment
structure. If Mr. Mclean and/or MFF were not able to comply with the actions stated above,
the Division would pursue other options to handle the situation. Mr. Elkin agreed that the
lagoon level needs to be lowered regardless. If Mr. Mclean could not get it done, they (MFF)
may have to step in.
On March 30, 1998, I received a memorandum from Mr. Dan Sams providing his
review and comment of the provided evaluation report (attached.) This office agrees and
supports Mr. Sams comments, questions and conclusions concerning the structures stability
issue. In addition, the continued seepage of waste water from this structure is completely
unacceptable. Solids transport through the structure would indicate significant "void" space as
well as movement and loss of material from the embankments. I would recommend that a
detailed renovation plan be submitted, approved and completed prior to facility being able to
resume operating.
If you have any further questions, please contact me at 910-395-3900.

RECEDED
MEMORANDUM MAR 0 3 1998
BY:
TO: Dave Holsinger, Division of Water Quality
FROM: Dan Sams, Land Quality Section 4P�
RE: Trumpeter Creek Farm, Hampstead, NC
Our section has reviewed the report for the above mentioned farm prepared and
submitted by S&ME and reviewed by Dan Marks of that company. It is critical to note that
S&ME prepared this report for a stability evaluation of the Trumpeter Creek Farm hog
lagoon only, and did not evaluate the dam's ability to contain water. It is possible, given
certain soil types and conditions, for a dam to remain stable for years and still allow the
transmutation of water through its containment structure.
Regarding the accuracy of the stability evaluation, it appears certain assumptions
have been made that would have to be proven accurate for the report to be considered
accurate as well. The elevation differences of the dam at various test borings locations are
shown to be similar, although a field inspection may prove that not to be the case. For
example, visual observation would suggest that the elevation differential between borings
B-1 and B-2 are more substantial than between B-5 and B-fi, although the report's given
elevations indicate that they are essentially the same. Of more critical note, is the
"measured phreatic surfaces" postulated from two boring readings. Given the fact that the
subsurface water differential in the two oggered holes dug during our inspection were very
substantial despite a linear distance of approximately 18 inches, it is extremely likely that
the phreatic surface line is not uniform throughout the area of the dam structure near
borings B-1 and B-2. If that is the case, the critical failure surface factor of safety is
probably incorrect. Evidence of that assumption is the amount of subsurface water still
present in the oggered holes, which is much higher than the line provided as the measured
phreatic surface line, i.e. within the fill structure of the dam on the outside slope of the dam.
Even if our observations prove incorrect and the report's assumptions are accurate,
the report only addresses dam stability. The dam continues to leech untreated waste water
through it, albeit less amounts now that some freeboard has been restored and that the
weather has turned dryer. Our staff would not presume to know what amounts of
untreated waste water are acceptable through the dam, therefore, we defer that
determination to you. We have the above stated skepticism of the S&ME report regarding
the accuracy of the phreatic surface lines, but again the determination of whether to accept
the report's conclusions are deferred to your office staff.
We hope this addresses some of your concerns and helps you make a better
informed decision. If we can answer further questions, please let us know.
