Dear Ms. Knight,
I am writing in response to your letter dated September 23, 2013, in regard to our waste pit overflow due to excessive
rainfall. Our rainfall totals for 2013 are as follows:

The first overflow lasted about 48 hours approximately 5760 gallons, the second overflow which occurred the middle
of August also lasted about 48 hours which would be another 5760 gallons. And then when the spillway was opened to
relieve the pressure the flow lasted for about 4 days. The total gallons of waste discharged is estimated at 23,040
gallons. The waste analysis has been faxed to your office.
Our milking herd has decreased and we have been buying baby calves from Morning Star Dairy in Ohio. Cows and
heifers are constantly being moved from one pasture to another due to their current status, our current herd count as of
October 30, 2013 is as follows:

Our labor force has been reduced. One factor is that my wife, who has always worked full time at the dairy barn, had
to have both knees and one hip totally replace this year. Also our current financial lender is unwilling to extend our
mortgage from 2 years to 15 or 20 to reduce our monthly payment. We are currently trying to refinance with another
ri

l►
bank to free up funds to hire more lab'P
We are in the process of removing the stockpiled solid animal waste. Our
current manure spreader truck holds on average 5 tons and are trying to buy another one. We estimate it to be around
320 tons.
We are in contact with Guilford-SWCD and will fence off the described portion of the pasture below the pond
embankment and reseed the area with grass. I have spoken with Millie Langley in regard to repairing the spillway and the
waste markers. And have also discussed what could be done to remedy the runoff around the silos. Thank you for your
consideration in this matter and I will be in touch with Stephen Berry about further improvements.
Sincerely
Jefferson T. Hopkins

North Carolina General Statute Violation
Certificate of Coverage #AWC410013, Facility #41-13
Guilford County
Dear Mr. Hopkins:
John E, Skvarla, Ill
Secretary
On July 16, 2013, you notified the North Carolina Division of Water Resources, Winston-Salem
Regional office (DWR) that freeboard in both waste storage ponds (WSP's) was less than
specified in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) dated November 26,
2007. Specifically, you reported 18 inches of freeboard in the upper (`A') WSP and 10-12
inches of freeboard in the lower (`B') WSP.
On August 9, 2013, Stephen Berry of DWR spoke with you via telephone regarding waste levels
in the WSP's. You stated that an earthen berm was placed in the spillway but that waste was
starting to "seep over at another point" on the WSP `B' embankment.
On August 13, 19 and September 9, 2013, Mr. Berry conducted structural evaluations of both
WSP's. Through conversations with yourself, Mrs. Mary Ann Hopkins, Mr_ Jason Hopkins,
Millie Langley of Guilford County Soil and Water Conservation District (Guilford-SWCD) and
Melissa Rosebrock (DWR), it was determined that:
1) The exceptional amount of rainfall this past spring and summer has impeded your ability
to enter fields, to harvest crops and/or apply waste; but that you have been able to apply a
minimal amount of waste to Tract # 6494, Fields 1 and 2 in your Waste Utilization Plan

(Thomas Jones Farm ##7630) the weeks of 8/12 and 8/19/13, and additional tracts
thereafter.
2) Stormwater runoff from `the barn' portion of feed lot is contributing to the amount of
slurry waste entering WSP `B'; additionally, the gutter end of the feed trough portion is
open and may also contribute stormwater to the WSP.
It is understood that diverting this stormwater away from the WSP requires considerable
investment (e.g., installation of gutters and drain pipe).
3) Approximately ten days prior to August 13, 2013, discharge of animal waste over the
WSP `B' embankment was observed by Mr. Jason Hopkins flowing into the fresh water
pond, but that the discharge from WSP `B' ceased approximately 48 hours later.
4) On August 13, 2013, an estimated flow of 2-3 gallons per minute (gpm) was observed by
Mr. Berry from both WSP `B' and the freshwater (stormwater retention) pond; the flow
observed out of freshwater pond was equal to that discharging from WSP `B'.
You indicated to staff that there is little to no flow out of the fresh water pond in summer
months of normal precipitation years.
5) The week of August 19, 2013, Mr. Jason Hopkins took corrective action to divert and
slow the waste from entering the fresh water pond by digging shallow pits and installing
berms.
6) In late August, Millie Langley of Guilford-SWCD advised you to remove the earthen
berm from the spillway of WSP `B', in order to relieve pressure off the embankment and
that this earthen material has since been removed.
But that removal of fill material from the spillway subsequently diverted the discharge;
an undetermined amount of liquid animal waste discharged from WSP `B' spillway and
flowed into the pasture adjacent to the freshwater pond. This waste has ponded below the
fresh water pond.
Violations
The unpermitted discharge cited above violates the following conditions of the Cattle Waste
Management System General Permit:
Permit Condition I. 1. - Failure to operate the facility as a non -discharge system and
prevent a discharge of waste that reaches surface water, wetlands, or by other means of
conveyance that drains to surface water or wetlands.
Permit Condition II. 11. - Unless accounted for in temporary storage volume, all
uncontaminated runoff from the surrounding property and buildings shall be diverted

On the week of August 5th Jeff called the water quality office in Winston-Salem to inform
them that the back manure pit was in the freeboard area. Due to constant excessive rainfall this
summer the ground was so saturated that the farm equipment could not get into the fields to
plant, harvest or spread manure.
On the weekend of August 11 `h we received one inch and a half which overflowed the back
pit. The overflow stopped within 24 hours. Ditches and berms were put in to direct the overflow
through an area of vegetation to act as a filter. We borrowed a manure pump and we pumped out
40,000 gallons that week.
On the weekend of August 17`h we receive two more inches of rain which overflowed the
back pit again. We continued to pump and apply the manure per our waste utilization plan until
Grassy Knob Farm was able to pump with their large equipment.
We are in contact with Millie Langley of Guilford Soil Conservation who is planning to
consult with her engineers to put in safeguards to prevent future problems. Both ponds are
pumped down to safe levels and the excessive rainfall has returned to normal levels.

Dear Ms. Knight,
I am writing in response to the notice of violations that were found during our November
2010 inspection.
Due to harvesting the tobacco, corn, hay and cutting silage our workforce was behind in
spreading the stockpiled animal waste. We had experienced heavy downfalls from storms and
were unaware of the leakage into surface water or we would have reported it to Melissa as we
did once before.
As per Melissa's instructions a dirt embankment was placed on the lower side of the
stockpiled manure immediately to stop any more leakage. Plastic was also placed on the upper
side of the embankment. Two thirds of the pile has been removed and spread on fields. The
entire stockpile will be spread within two weeks.
In the future, the solid animal waste will be stockpiled on higher ground and a dirt
embankment will be placed on the lower side of the stockpile. We will be sure that the waste
analysis will be within the sixty day range of the application in the future.
:Si:npcerly,
Jeff Hopkins

Dear Mr, Hopkins;
Resources
Dee Freeman
Secretary
During the Fall or Winter of 2009-2010, a representative of your animal operation informed the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Winston-Salem Regional Office that there was inadequate freeboard in
the waste pond(s) or lagoon(s) serving the facility. The Animal Waste Management Permit (Section III. No.
13) states that the "Permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Division Regional Office as soon
as possible, but in no case more than twenty-four (24) hours following first knowledge of the ... failure to
maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage pond greater than or equal to that required in ... this General
Permit." We appreciate the fact that you reported the problem of high waste level as required by your
permit and have worked with our staff to manage the problem once it occurred.
While we recognize the extraordinary weather conditions existing at the time, the lack of adequate
freeboard reported to our office still represents non-compliance with the Certificate of Coverage issued to
your facility. As you are aware, this non-compliance is subject to appropriate enforcement action by DWQ.
The factors that lead to non-compliance, efforts to notify DWQ of the problem, efforts made to resolve the
problem once identified, and efforts proposed to prevent future problems have all been factors in our
decision regarding enforcement. Upon review and consideration of the information submitted and/or
discussed with DWQ staff, the Winston-Salem Regional Office has determined that a Notice of Deficiency
(NOD) is appropriate and that no further compliancelenforcement actions will be taken by the Division for
the high waste levels occurring between October 2009 and March 2010.
In the future, please continue to evaluate ways to maintain freeboard levels in the required range.
This may include, but is not limited to, water conservation practices, adding additional application sites,
updating your cropping systems, adding additional and / or more flexible application equipment, and main-

<Melissa. [e-mail]>
Nolan, this AM Jerry Trammel (Env. Hlth. Specialist, Guilford Co. Animal Control)
and I went to the large area where the fly complaints originated in Guilford
County. This area is northeast of Greensboro and just north of Mcheansville.
Jerry told me that complaints came from all over the area (several square miles)
and they started just after the warm spell we had in January, continued through
February, and now appear to have diminished. We did not see any flies except for
several house flies stuck to a fly strip on the outside porch at the home of the
original complainer. There are no chicken houses in this area, and no cattle
(beef) farms. Also, I saw no evidence of the flies that parasitize earthworms.
However, there is a dairy farm in the area owned by Jeff Hopkins with about 300
head and two large lagoons from which they distribute and spread manure over many
fields in the area where the complaints are coming from. The original complainer
is living right by one of the fields that received manure last fall. Jerry
mentioned that he has seen some fields where the manure was put out at a heavy
rate. One problem is this area is developing rapidly with many new homes coming
in. The Dairy farmer is finding fewer and fewer fields to use for manure
distribution.
Jerry and I also investigated the cut area that was mentioned (in the e-mail
message you sent to me) by Don Howard as an area that they suggested was producing
millions of flies. This is an old forest area that was clear-cut and.planted in
pines several months ago. There are many tire ruts and excessive wood chips laying
on the ground. I saw no evidence of fly maggots or flies in the area, nor would I
expect to. This area is not conducive to fly production as it is almost pure wood
chips which are leaching in stained water that is highly acid in pools in the tire
ruts. From my experience this type habitat does not rear flies (or mosquitoes) for
about 1-2 years as the water is too acid and mosquitoes will not oviposit there.
Regarding flies, there was not any organic matter for maggots to feed on like you
might find in a rich mulch. So, I do not put any credence in considering the
cut -over area a source of the fly production. Besides this site would not have
produced the widespread fly complaints, while the spreading of manure from the
dairy farm is distributed over the whole area of complaints.
Jerry knows the owner of the Dairy Farm and said that he will talk to him about
adhering to the regulations about the allowable rates for manure disposal on
fields. Also, I discussed this with Joe Briscoe, our regional milk specialist here
in the WSRO. Joe mentioned that he has visited the Hopkins dairy farm and advised
the owner that he needs to clean up better around the feed bins and the dairy
facilities, in general, to reduce flies.
At this point, I suspect most of the fly problems in the complaint area are behind
us now for a while. However, unless more care is taken in the proper distribution
(probably twice per year) of manure from the dairy lagoons on the designated fields
this year, this problem will reoccur. Jerry pointed out many homes (new and old) in
the complaint area that are adjacent to the fields where Mr. Hopkins distributes
manure for his lagoons. I will be discussing this issue with Melissa Rosebrock
(DWQ) in our regional office. Bruce H. '

until the PLAT was run. So that doesn't help me very much. But I can
send in the other paper work and we can get going on the construction

Millie,
Good to hear from you.
As I said on the phone, we can issue him a conditional permit in which he will be
required to run PLAT *before* stocking any additional animals. That way, he can at
least start construction once he gets the new COC. For this, we will need:
1. Completed application for new or expanding facilities
2. Completed animal waste management System Certification for the new capacity
3. A revised waste plan for the new capacity.
Hope this helps.

Hi JR,
I am working with a dairy farmer wishing to expand from 400 milk cows to 600. We
are working on his holding pond enlargement design, waste plan revision and
permit to expand. I will be revising the waste plan to include more cows, but I
do not foresee having to add any new fields. He had extra land already.
Will PLAT have to be run on these existing fields before plan is sent in? This
will take a long time (there are lots of fields in this plan.)
I appreciate any help and advice you can give me.

Whitecedar Dairy
Permit Number: AWC410013
Guilford 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 4/29/2002.
Your annual permit fee for the period of 4/29/2003 - 4/28/2004 is $150.00. Your payment was due 6/8/2003.
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:

Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 41-13

This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agrononuc loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the

Facility No. 41-13
Guilford Countv
On May 20, an Operation Review was conducted of Jeff Hopkins Dairy, facility no. 41-13. This
Review, undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-215.1OD, is one of two visits scheduled for all
registered livestock operations during the 1999 calendar year.
During the Review, it was noted that there was inadequate storage in the waste holding pond. Since
failure to maintain adequate storage and freeboard in waste holding ponds is a violation of animal waste
regualations, your operation along with supporting documentation was referred to the Division of Water
Quality for further investigation and possible enforcement action. G.S. 143-215.10E requires me to
notify the Division of Water Quality and the owner/operator of this observed violation.
It is imperative that this problem be eliminated immediately. You are strongly encouraged to contact
your certified technical specialist for help. You may also want to contact your local Soil and Water
Conservation District Office since they may be able to provide you with additional technical and/or
financial assistance to implement corrective best management practices.
Please remember that in order for your facility to be in compliance with environmental regulations,
animal waste cannot be discharged into the waters of the State, and the animal waste collection,
treatment, storage and disposal systems must be properly sized, maintained and operated under the
responsible charge of a certified operator.
The Division of Soil and Water Conservation appreciates your cooperation with this Operation Review.
Please do not hesitate to call me at 704/663-1699 ext. 276 if you have any questions, concerns or need
additional information.

In accordance with State Regulations (15A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1)(E)) adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission on February 1, 1993, the owner of the subject facility was required to submit a
Certification Form for the facility's animal waste management system by December 31, 1997.
This letter is to advise you that this office has no record of having received the required Certification for
the subject facility. Please provide this office with an explanation as to why this Certification was not
submitted as required. This explanation must be received within 30 days following the receipt of this letter.
Any existing facility owner which did not submit the required certification by the deadline is no longer
deemed permitted to operate their animal waste management system, Therefore, if the certification was not
submitted as required and the facility is still in operation, this facility is being operated without a valid
permit. N.C.G.S. 143-215.6(b) allows the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources to take appropriate enforcement actions for this violation for as long as the violation continues.
As per Senate Bill 1217, which was ratified on June 21, 1996, the Environmental Management
Commission (EMC) may enter into a special agreement with facilities that did not meet the December 31,
1997 deadline. These special agreements can only be issued to facility owners which signed up for assistance
with their local Soil and Water Conservation District Office by September 1, 1996 and which can
demonstrate that they made a good faith effort to meet the December 31, 1997 deadline. The special
agreement, if issued, would contain a specific schedule for the facility to follow to develop and/or implement
an approved animal waste management plan. Attached is an application for a special agreement between the
EMC and the subject facility. If you can demonstrate that this facility can meet the conditions for a special
agreement, you may send this request along with your explanation as to why the plan has not been developed
and implemented. This request would also be due within 30 days from receipt of this letter.

Subject: Operator In Charge Designation
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission
on Agricultural Waste, was ratified by the North Carolina General Assembly on June 21, 1996.
This bill required that a properly certified operator be designated as the Operator in Charge for each
animal waste management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or
more horses, 1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid animal waste
management system.
The deadline for designating an Operator in Charge for animal waste management systems
involving cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry was January 1, 1997. Because a training and
certification program was not yet available for these systems, you were allowed to apply for and
were issued a temporary animal waste management certificate from the Water Pollution Control
System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC)• Because you applied for and were
issued a temporary certificate, you were allowed to be designated as the Operator in Charge of an
animal waste management system.
Your temporary certificate expires December 31, 1997, and is not renewable. Our records indicate
that you have not obtained a permanent animal waste management system operator certification. If
you intend to remain the Operator in Charge of the facility for which you were designated, you must
obtain a permanent animal waste management system operator certification of the appropriate type
before your temporary certification expires on December 31, 1997. To obtain a permanent
certification, you must be 18 years of age, complete ten hours of approved training, and pass an
examination. If you do not intend to remain the Operator in Charge, a properly certified animal
waste management system operator must be designated as Operator in Charge of the facility prior to
the expiration of your temporary certification.
This year's final training program for both Type A and Type B animal waste management systems
is scheduled for December 10 and 11, 1997, at the Hunt Horse Complex in Raleigh. If you would
like information about this training program, please contact your local cooperative extension agent
or call Dee Ann Cooper at 919/515-6968. For those enrolled in this training and registering with
Ms. Cooper prior to December 1, an exam will be offered at the Hunt Horse Complex on December
11, beginning at 1:00 pm.

certification will be offered on December 11, 1997, in Williamston, Kenansville, Raleigh
(Wake Tech), Wentworth, Salisbury and Morganton. This examination date will be the last
opportunity to obtain permanent certification before your temporary certification expires. If you
need additional information or have questions concerning the examinations for certification, please
call Beth Buffington at 919/733-0026. For additional information about other training
opportunities, please contact your local cooperative extension agent or call David Crouse at

Dear Mr. Hopkins:
You were notified by letter dated December 5, 1996, that you were required to designate a certified animal waste
management system operator as Operator in Charge for the subject facility by January 1, 1997. Enclosed with that
letter was an Operator in Charge Designation Form specifically for your facility, Instructions for Completing
Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator, and an Application for
Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator. Our records indicate that these
completed Forms have not yet been returned to our office.
As was explained in the previous letter, a training and certification program is not yet available for animal waste
management systems involving cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry (with a liquid waste system). Therefore owners of
these systems were allowed to request that they be issued temporary certifications until December 31, 1997. All that
was required to receive this temporary certification was the completion of the Application Form.
For you convenience, we are sending you additional copies of the Operator in Charge Designation Form specifically
for your facility, Instructions for Completing Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste
Management System Operator, and an Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management
System Operator. Please return this completed Form to this office as soon as possible but in no case later than April
25, 1997. This office maintains a list of certified operators in your area if you need assistance in locating a certified
operator.
Please note that failure to designate an Operator in Charge of your animal waste management system, is a violation
of N.C.G.S. 90A-47.2 and you will be assessed a civil penalty unless an appropriately certified operator is designated.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as absolving you of the responsibility and liability for
any past or future violations for your failure to designate an appropriate Operator in Charge by January 1, 1997.
If you have questions concerning this matter, please contact our Technical Assistance and Certification Group at

D E C 12 1936
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission on
Agricultural Waste, was enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly on June 21, 1996. This bill
requires that a certified operator be designated as the Operator in Charge by January 1, 1997, for each animal
waste• management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or more horses,
1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid animal waste management system. Our
records indicate that your facility is registered with the Division of Water Quality and meets the requirements
for designating an OIC.
A training and certification program is not yet available for animal waste management systems involving
cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry. Owners and operators of these systems will be issued temporary animal waste
management certificates by the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission
(WPCSOCC). The temporary certificates will expire December 31, 1997, and will not be renewed. To obtain
a permanent certification, you will be required to complete ten hours of training and pass an examination by
December 31, 1997. A training and certification program for operators of animal waste management systems
involving cattle, sheep, horses, and poultry is now being developed and should be available by the spring of
1997. The type of training and certification required for the operator of each system will be based on the nature
of the wastes to be treated and the treatment process(es) primarily used to treat the animal waste.
As the owner of an animal operation with an animal waste management system, you must designate an

Re: white Oak Dairy - Jefferson T. Hopkins
Dear Mr Coble:
This letter follows up our telephone conversation of this morning
concerning the complaints set out in your letter of May 10, 1996.
As I explained this morning I have been engaged by Mr. Hopkins to
represent him in this matter.:
As I understand the history of this matter, a small portion of
the loafing area adjacent to Mr Hopkins milk parlor is not served
by the lagoon built initially to handle this waste. It is
anticipated that a second lagoon be constructed to permanently
handle the run off from this area. Mr Hopkins has made
application to Guilford County office of the Natural Resources
Conservation Services. This application has received local
approval and is awaiting processing at the beginning of the new
fiscal year. I am informed that Mr Andrews has provided you with
a copy of that application. It is presently anticipated this will
permit construction of this new, permanent lagoon in the fall of
1996.
In an effort to exhibit his good faith desire for complete
compliance with waste water regulations, Mr. Hopkins has
constructed a temporary facility to catch waste water from this
location. It is in reference to this temporary facility that your
letter of May 10,1996, is directed. At the request of Mr Ron
Linville of your office certain changes have been made to that
facility. This was the removal of an overflow pipe. It is my
understanding that in mid April 1996, your personel inspected the

Page 2
Larry D. Coble
May 19, 1996
temporary facility and found waste water had been discharged onto
the surrounding ground from it. However, it is my further
understanding that none of this waste water was observed reaching
the waters of or being discharged into Candy Creek or any of the
other waters of the State of North Carolina. This was during a
period of wet conditions and normal high water table. If I
understand the problem, it is there exists a potential that waste
water could reach Candy Creek. I am sure however that we can all
agree that with the advent of warmer weather, the normal dry
spells of summer, the natural lowering of the ground water level
and the use of ground water by growing plants the probability of
this potential contamination, is made even more remote.
You have demanded that a Show Cause Hearing be held on this
alleged second violation of waste water regulation. In your
letter you do not refer to any specific violation by reason of
discharge of waste into the waters of the State of North
Carolina.
It is my understanding this meeting can occur in Guilford County
either at the Agricultural Center, white Cedar Farm or even my
office. Mr Mauney, of your office, has requested the meeting
a occur in Winston Salem. Despite the fact this is in the middle of
the'busy spring planting season, Mr Hopkins, will meet with you,
as you have requested, in Winston Salem. I am in the process of
f contacting Mr Hopkins and will confirm the time and date of this
meeting by telephone tomorrow.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Yours very truly,
qJoT. Weigel, Jr

Dear Mr. Hopkins:
On April 16, 1996 Mr. Ron Linville of this office in conjunction with Mr.
John Andrews, District NRCS Conservationist visited your animal operation. A
determination was made that wastewater from your dairy operation had discharged
overland in such a manner that wastewater can be intermixed with waters of the
State. The previously noticed overflow pipe had been removed; however,
wastewater was discharging from the lagoon and travelling in a ditch towards
Candy Creek (Class C-NSW),
Since this is your second Notice of Violation it is. necessary that you
contact this office to schedule a Show Cause Hearina by Mav 24. 1996 to discuss
whether or not this office should proceed with revoking your deemed permit or an
enforcement action for these activities. By copy of this letter, Mr. John
Andrews is also being advised of this meeting and our concerns. Any activities
undertaken by you to reduce the potential for future discharges should be
discussed during the hearing. These and subsequent wastewater discharges subject
the farm to fines and civil penalties of up to $10,000.00 per day per violation.
This notice does not preclude further actions by this Division for this and any
additional water quality violations. Please contact Mr. Ron Linville or Steve
Maunev, Water Quality Supervisor to arrange the _meeting in our office at (910)

RECEIVED

Regional Office
I am writing in response to your letter concerning
violations you found during your inspection of my dairy farm.
After receiving your letter, I met with John Andrews and Millie
Langley on November 30, 1995. We discussed the violations stated
in your letter, and I explained that I wanted to continue
operating my dairy and would do whatever was necessary to correct
the violations.
In regard to the first violation of inadequate freeboard,
I was unaware of the 19 inch minimum that must be maintained.
Normally it is our practice to pump the lagoon after we finish
cutting silage and before we begin harvesting corn. However,
this fall it was too wet to haul the manure by truck. I have
80 acres of cropland close enough to the lagoon that I can use
my irrigation pump and reel to pump off some of the manure.
I was using this irrigation system to keep the lagoon from
overflowing since it was too wet to haul the manure by truck.
I told Mr. Andrews that I would pump the lagoon down to a 24"
freeboard and keep it at this level until it was dry enough
to begin hauling again.
For the second violation stated in your letter, Mr. Andrews
• explained that this violation concerned the second lagoon which
I had built on my own. I told Mr. Andrews I would remove the
pipe from the dam and fix the dam back. I had built the second
lagoon to catch any runoff from the corner of the feedlot that
was not draining into the first lagoon. This second lagoon
is not really big enough for this purpose. I talked with
John Andrews and Millie Langley about any financial assistance
from the state to build a larger second lagoon. They said they
thought I may be able to receive some funds in the spring, so
I filed a-ft application for this assistance.
I hope from this letter that you see that I am trying to
bring my operation into compliance. If you have any questions
or comments please contact me at the above address or phone
number.
Sincerely,
