SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Best Usage, Settleable Solids, and Waste Storage Violations
Facility #30-24, Davie County
Dear Mr. Williams:
As you recall, Melissa Rosebrock, with the Winston-Salem Regional Office Division of Water
Quality (DWQ), conducted a site visit at your dairy on March 28, 2007. This visit was the result of a
complaint received by our office alleging that animal waste and water quality violations were occurring at
the Williams Dairy.
Observations indicated that several linear feet of an unnamed tributary (UT) to South Yadkin
River, Class "C" waters, have been impacted by (1) severe streambank erosion caused by excessive cattle
traffic, and (2) the deposition of sediment, approximately four inches in depth, in the State's surface
waters caused by unstable streambanks and denuded pastures. Staff also noted evidence of a previous
overflow (25 feet in length) from the animal waste storage pond. Photographs were also obtained to
document the stream impacts. Accordingly, the following violations of North Carolina's Environmental
Laws are confirmed:
(1)-Removal of Best Usage --The stream impacts -noted above constitute-a-violation-of1-5A NCAC-
2B .0211 (2) which states: "The waters will be suitable as a source of water supply for drinking as well as
aquatic life propagation and maintenance of biological integrity, wildlife, and secondary recreation, and
agriculture; sources of water pollution which preclude any of these uses on either a short-term or long-
term basis will be considered to be violating a water quality standard. "
(2) Settleable Solids Violation - The deposition of solids to surface waters is a violation of 15A
NCAC 2B .021'1(3) which states: "Floating solids; settleable solids; sludge deposits: only such amounts
attributable to sewage, industrial wastes or other wastes as will not make the water unsafe or unsuitable
for aquatic life and wildlife or impair the waters of any designated uses. "
(3) Storage Capacity - While the previous discharge did not appear to have reached surface
waters, the `failure to maintain adequate storage capacity in a lagoon that poses an immediate threat to
public health or the environment" is a violation of NC General Statute 143-215.10E(a)(3).

This letter is a follow-up to our visit with you on April 12, 2007. Don Redmond, Soil
Conservation Technician and I visited your farm in response to a pending notice of violation that
Melissa Rosebrock, Division of Water Quality, plans to issue. The area of concern is a loafing
area below the holding pond that is denuded and badly eroded. It is adjacent to a stream that
feeds eventually into the South Yadkin River. Concerns are erosion and resulting sedimentation
in the stream, access to the stream by cows, and runoff from the site carrying manure and other
possible contaminants into the stream. During our visit we discussed several different programs
and suggested solutions to the noted problems.
Several options are available to help correct the problems. One would be to remove the cows
from the area, grade the gullies to fill them or to make them more stable and then seed the area to
permanent vegetation. Seeding may require a temporary seeding mixture during the summer
(see enclosed seeding mixture recommendations) followed by a permanent grass seeding this fall
for the establishment of fescue, which you indicated was your desired cover. You stated that
Ms. Rosebrock said that putting the cows in an adjacent loafing area would be acceptable, with
some additional fencing to maintain a wider buffer from the stream. This would be a quick way
to get the cows off the area, then grade and seed to stabilize it.
We also discussed your desire to get the area in question in a useable condition so that you could
utilize it for hay production and I encourage you to do that. This could be done by grading the
area and addressing the runoff through a grade stabilization structure, grassed waterways and the
establishment of permanent.grass. This would enable you to use the area and remove any of the
concerns noted above. We would be glad to assist you with this endeavor if you so desire.
There are several programs that we discussed and I will briefly summarize them as follows:
Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP)-this program will restore a stream to its natural
condition and establish a minimum of a 50 foot buffer on both sides of the stream. EEP decides
whether a site meets their criteria for inclusion in this program.
Helping People Help the Land
An Equal opportunity Provider and Employer

They basically buy the development rights to the property from the landowner, but the
landowner retains ownership. A permanent easement is placed on the buffer and stream. This is
a good option if the landowner is willing to have a permanent easement on their property.
The landowner can negotiate with EEP on buffer width, access, etc.
Continuous Conservation Reserve Program (CCRP)-this program will establish a forested
riparian buffer along a stream in a pasture setting with a minimum average width of 35 feet up to
a maximum average width of 180 feet. The program is for 10 or 15 years, depending on the
landowner's preference. It pays an annual rental payment of $32/acre plus a maintenance fee of
$5 to $10/acre, depending on the practices involved. If the area is fenced and waterers installed
for the cows, the higher rate of $10 would apply. Also, there is a signing incentive of
$ 1 0/acre/year of contract, plus 90% cost -share up to established caps for certain practices. This
is a very good option and does not require a permanent commitment by the landowner.
Cost -share Programs -there are both federal and state cost -share programs that will provide either
75% or 50% cost -share for practices installed to design specifications. The State program
monies are available in the fall and the federal monies would be available next spring. Cost -
share is contingent on monies available and the federal program is a competitive program.
If cows are allowed to continue using this area I would recommend at least a 25 foot buffer, with
a 35 foot buffer being even better. The area needs extensive grading to smooth and help handle
the large flow of water. The area would need to be established in permanent vegetation.
Structures are needed to be installed to safely allow runoff water to enter the stream without
erosion. Rock check dams would need to be placed in the largest gully (farthest from the holding
pond) to help catch up sediment and help control erosion. These would have to be adequately
sized to function properly. Fencing with adequate buffers would need to be installed to keep the
cows out of any areas that carried large amounts of water.
As we discussed during our visit, if you want to grade and stabilize the area we will be glad to
assist you. There are programs available that would help provide cost -share, depending on each
programs requirements.
Please contact Don Redmond or myself if we can be of assistance on applying for a program
and/or providing assistance.

342-C Short -Term Seeding Specification Guide
When temporary vegetation is desirable to minimize erosion and pollution and permanent vegetation cannot be established due to seasons of the year, and where
a temporary seeding is needed to control erosion and water pollrttion prior to the establishment of finished grade or perennial vegetation. The temporary
measures should be coordinated with the permanent erosion control measures planned, to assure economical and effective control.
I. Site Preparation
A Excessive water run-off must be controlled by planned and installed_ needed erosion control practices, such as dosed drains, ditches, dikes, diversions,
contour ripping, sediment basins or other erosion control methods:
B. Grade where practical and feasible to permit the use of conventional equipment for seedbed preparation, seeding, mulch application and anchoring"
II. Materials
A Lime and fertilizer treatment specified will be affected by site conditions; length of time. short-term seedlings are expected to be on the site, and the
planned treatment to follow.
B. If soils are reasonably uniform, lime and fertilize according to soil test recommendations. Otherwise, apply 100 pounds of ground agricultural limestone or
equivalent per 1,000 sq. ft or 2 tons per acre and apply 12 to 16 pounds of 10 10-i 0 or similar fertilizer per 1,000 sq. ft, or 500-700 pounds per acre. on
some sites, seeding maybe done without liming or fertilizing. Nitrogen top dressing maybe applied after. grass is up if needed for.vigorous growth" time
and fertilizer shall be spread uniformly over the area to be planted.
C. Where a permanent se_ eding is to followthe:te,mporary cover, optimum land preparation should be done. When further grading is to be done before the
permanent seeding or where site conditions are favorable, mineral preparation maybe satisfactory for establishing temporary cover. For optimum results,
work lime and fertilizer into the soil to a depth of 3-4 inches usirig disks, chisels, rotary tillage equipment or other suitable equipment On sloping land, -the
final tillage operation should be,on the general contour. The adequacy of.minimum preparation is dependent upon site conditions. In general, if the soil
surface is such that the seeds of plants with high seedling vigor can be placed so as to remain in contact with moist soil, no preparation is required.
Ill'. Seeding
A Select from the following table a quick -growing grass with,high seedling vigor that is suited to the area, to the time of planting, and that will provide a
'"temporary cover which will not interfere with the plants to be sown later for permanent cover. Seedlings made in December and January will not provide
effective short-term cover. Mulch without seeding should be considered for this period.
B. Apply seed uniformly by hand, cyclone seeder, drill, cultipac ker seeder or hydraulically (slurry may include fertilizer, seed and cellulose fiber mulch). For
quickest and best results, seed should be covered from "/ to 1 inch deep except when hydroseeder is used.
C. When a hydroseeder or cultipac ker type seeder is not used, the seedbed should be firmed following seeding using such equipment as a cultipacker, roller,
or light drag; or following dry mulch application, with the mulch anchoring tool, disk harrow "set straight, or. stalk cutter. On sloping land, seeding operation
should be performed across the slope.

NOTE: All seed used in contracts shall have been tested not more than six (6) months prior to date of seeding. The specifications shall state the acceptable

IV. Mulching
Mulching should usually be specified to reduce damage from water run-off and improve moisture conditions for seedlings. Temporary vegetation can in some
cases be satisfactorily established without the use of mulch. The use of mulch is a judgment decision based on time of seeding and conditions of individual
sites.
V. Mulching Materials
A Dry unchopped, unweathered small grain straw or hay free of seeds of competing plants — Spread at the rate of 1 to 2 tons per acre, depending upon the
site and season. Evenly spread mulch over the area by hand or blower -type spreading equipment Apply mulch so that about 25% of the ground surface
is visible.
B. Local materials such as burlap and pine boughs — Cover entire area; secure in place if flowing water is involved.
C. Barnyard manure and bedding — Apply uniformly so that about 25% of the ground surface is visible.
D. Jute matting maybe used in the place of mulch orsod and has the strength to withstand waterflow. It is an accepted practice to sow half the seed before
placing the matting. Sow the -remaining half after the matting is laid. Seethe manufacturer's specifications for installing.

This letter is a follow-up to our visit with you on April 12, 2007. Don Redmond, Soil
Conservation Technician and I visited your farm in response to a pending notice of violation that
Melissa Rosebrock, Division of Water Quality, plans to issue. The area of concern is a loafing
area below the holding pond that is denuded and badly eroded. It is adjacent to a stream that
feeds eventually into the South Yadkin River. Concerns are erosion and resulting sedimentation
in the stream, access to the stream by cows, and runoff from the site carrying manure and other
possible contaminants into the stream. During our visit we discussed several different programs
and suggested solutions to the noted problems.
Several options are available to help correct the problems. One would be to remove the cows
from the area, grade the gullies to fill them or to make.them more stable and then seed the area to
permanent vegetation. Seeding may require a temporary seeding mixture during the summer
(see enclosed seeding mixture recommendations) followed by a permanent grass seeding this fall
for the establishment of fescue, which you indicated was your desired cover. You stated that
Ms. Rosebrock said that putting the cows in an adjacent loafing area would be acceptable, with
some additional fencing to maintain a wider buffer from the stream. This would be a quick way
to get the cows off the area, then grade and seed to stabilize it.
We also discussed your desire to get the area in question in a useable condition so that you could
utilize it for hay production and I encourage you to do that. This could be done by grading the
area and addressing the runoff through a grade stabilization structure, grassed waterways and the
establishment of permanent grass. This would enable you to use the area and remove any of the
concerns noted above. We would be glad to assist you with this endeavor if you so desire.
There are several programs that we discussed and I will briefly summarize them as follows:
Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP)-this program will restore a stream to its natural
condition and establish a minimum of a 50 foot buffer on both sides of the stream. EEP decides
whether a site meets their criteria for inclusion in this program.
Helping People Help the Land
An Equal Opportunity Proylder and Employer

•
•
They basically buy the development rights to the property from the landowner, but the
landowner retains ownership. A permanent easement is placed on the buffer and stream. This is
a good option if the landowner is willing to have a permanent easement on their property.
The landowner can negotiate with EEP on buffer width, access, etc.
Continuous Conservation Reserve Program (CCRP)-this program will establish a forested
riparian buffer along a stream in a pasture setting with a minimum average width of 35 feet up to
a maximum average width of 180 feet. The program is for 10 or 15 years, depending on the
landowner's preference. It pays an annual rental payment of $32/acre plus a maintenance fee of
$5 to $10/acre, depending on the practices involved. If the area is fenced and waterers installed
for the cows, the higher rate of $10 would apply. Also, there is a signing incentive of
$10/acre/year of contract, plus 90% cost -share up to established caps for certain practices. This
is a very good option and does not require a permanent commitment by the landowner.
Cost -share Programs -there are both federal and state cost -share programs that will provide either
75% or 50% cost -share for practices installed to design specifications. The State program
monies are available in the fall and the federal monies would be available next spring. Cost -
share is contingent on monies available and the federal program is a competitive program.
If cows are allowed to continue using this area I would -recommend at least a 25 foot buffer, with
a 35 foot buffer being even better. The area needs extensive grading to smooth and help handle
the large flow of water. The area would need to be established in permanent vegetation.
Structures are needed to be installed to safely allow runoff water to enter the stream without
erosion. Rock check dams would need to be placed in the largest gully (farthest from the holding
pond) to help catch up sediment and help control erosion. These would have to be adequately
sized to function properly. Fencing with adequate buffers would need to be installed to keep the
cows out of any areas that carried large amounts of water.
As we discussed during our visit, if you want to grade and stabilize the area we will be glad to
assist you. There are programs. available that would help provide cost -share, depending on each
programs requirements.
Please contact Don Redmond or myself if we can be of assistance on applying for a program
and/or providing assistance.

342-C Short -Term Seeding Specification Guide
When temporary vegetation is desirable to minimize erosion and pollution and permanent vegetation cannot be established due to seasons of the year, and where
a temporary seeding is needed to control erosion and water pollution prior to the establishment of finished grade or perennial vegetation._ The temporary
measures should be coordinated with the permanent erosion control measures planned, to assure economical and effective control.
I. Site Preparation
A Excessive water run-off must be controlled by planned and installed needed erosion control practices, such as closed drains, ditches, dikes, diversions,
contour ripping, sediment basins or other erosion control methods.
B. Grade where practical and feasible to permit the use -of conventional equipment for seedbed preparation, seeding, mulch application and anchoring.
II. Materials
A Lime and fertilizer treatment specified will be affected by site conditions, length of time, short-term seedlings are expected to be on the site, and the
planned treatment to follow
B. If soils are reasonably uniform, lime and fertilize according to soil test recommendations. Otherwise, apply 100 pounds of ground agricultural limestone or •
equivalent per 1,000 sq_ ft. or 2 tons per acre and apply 12 to 16 pounds of 10-10-10 or similar fertilizer per 1,000 sq. f., or 500-700 pounds per acre. On
some sites, seeding may be done without liming or fertilizing. Nitrogen top dressing may be applied after grass is up if needed for vigorous growth. Lime
and fertilizer shall be spread uniformly over the area to be planted.
C. Where a permanent seeding is to follow the. temporary cover, optimum land preparation should be done. When further grading is to be done before the
permanent seeding or where site conditions are favorable, mineral preparation may be satisfactory for establishing temporary cover. For optimum results,
work lime and fertilizer into the soil to a depth of 3-4 inches using disks, chisels, rotary tillage equipment or other suitable equipment On sloping land, the
final tillage operation should be on the general contour. The adequacy of minimum preparation is dependent upon site conditions. In general, if the soil
surface is such that the seeds of plants with,high seedling vigor can be placed so as to remain in contact with moist soil, no preparation is required.
III. Seeding
A Select from the following table a quick growing grass with high seedling vigor that is suited to the area, to the time of planting, and that will provide a
'.temporary cover which will not interfere with the plants to be sown later for permanent cover. Seedlings made in December and January will not provide
effective short-term cover_ Mulch without seeding should be considered for this period.
B. Apply seed uniformly by hand, cyclone seeder, drill, cultipacker seeder or hydraulically (slurry may include fertilizer, seed and cellulose fiber mulch). For
quickest and best results, seed should be covere.d.from '/ to 1 inch deep except when hydroseeder is used.
C.. When a hydroseeder or cuitipadker type.seeder is not used, the seedbed should be firmed following seeding using such equipment as a cultipacker, roller, •
or light drag; or following dry mulch application, with the mulch anchoring.tool, disk harrow set straight or. stalk cutter. On sloping land, seeding operation
should be performed across the slope.

IV. Mulching
Mulching should usually be specified to reduce damage from water run-off and improve moisture conditions for seedlings. Temporary vegetation can in some
cases be satisfactorily established without the use of mulch. The use of mulch is a judgment decision based on time of seeding and conditions of individual
sites-
V. Mulching Materials
A Dry unchopped, unweathered small grain straw or hay free of seeds of competing plants — Spread at the rate of 1 to 2 tons per acre, depending upon the
site and season. Evenly spread mulch over the area by hand or blower -type spreading equipment Apply mulch so that about 25% of the ground surface
is visible. .
B. Local materials such as burlap and pine boughs —Cover entire area; secure in place if flowing water is involved.
C. Barnyard manure and bedding -- Apply uniformly so that about 25% of the ground surface is -visible.
D_ Jute matting may be used in the place of mulch or sod and has the strength to withstand waterflow_ It is an accepted practice to sow half the seed before
placing the matting_ Sow the -remaining half after the matting is laid. Seethe manufacturer's specifications for installing.

Subject: Removal of Registration
Williams Dairy Farm
Facility Number 30-24
Davie County
This is to acknowledge receipt of your request that your facility no longer be registered as an animal waste
management system per the terms of 15A NCAC 2H .0217. The information you provided us indicated that your
Operation's animal population does not exceed the number set forth by 15A NCAC 2H .0217, and therefore does not
require registration for a certified animal waste management plan.
Under 15A NCAC 211.0217, your facility is deemed permitted if waste is properly managed and does not
reach the surface waters of the state. Any system determined to have an adverse impact on water quality may be
required to obtain a waste management plan or an individual permit. You are reminded that a discharge of wastes to
the surface waters of the state will subject you to a civil penalty up to $10,000 per day.
Should you decide to increase the number of animals housed at your facility beyond the threshold limits
listed below, you will be required to receive approval from the Division of Water Quality prior to stocking animals
to that level. Threshold numbers of animals are as follows:
Swine
250
Confined Cattle
100
Horses
75
Sheep
1,000
PoultEy with a liquid wastes stem
30,000
If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sonya Avant of our
staff at [phone] ext 571.

SUBJECT: Operation Review Notice of Referral
Williams Dairy Farm
Facility No, 30-24
Davie County
On November 5, an Operation Review was conducted of Williams Dairy Farm, Facility No.
30-24. This Review, undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-215.1 OD, is one of two visits scheduled
for all registered livestock operations during the 1998 calendar year. The Division of Water Quality
will conduct a second site inspection.
During the Review, it was noted that your waste storage pond lacked adequate freeboard and
storage capacity. Since failure to maintain adequate freeboard and storage is a violation, your
operation along with supporting documentation was referred to the Division of Water Quality for
finther investigation and possible enforcement action. G.S. 143-215.10E requires me to notify
Division of Water Quality and the owner/operator of this observed violation.
As discussed during the Review, it is imperative that this problem be eliminated as soon as
possible. 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.
Also remember that all registered livestock operations were required to obtain and implement
an approved animal waste management plan by the end of 1997, and to gain certification as an animal
waste system operator. The animal waste management plan must be certified by either a designated
technical specialist or a professional engineer. For additional assistance with the plan, please contact
your local Soil and Water Conservation District Office or local Cooperative Extension Service Office.

SUBJECT: Operation Review Notic foe foe Refcrraa�
Williams Dairy Farm
Facility No. 30-24
Davie County
Dear Mr. Williams,
On June 17, an Operation Review was conducted of Williams Dairy Farm, facility no. 30-24. This Review,
undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-215.1 OD, is one of two visits scheduled for all registered livestock
operations during the 1997 calendar year. The Division of Water Quality will conduct a second site inspection.
During the Review, it was noted that your waste storage pond lacked adequate freeboard and storage
capacity. Since failure to maintain adequate freeboard and storage is a violation, 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 Division of Water Quality and the owner/operator of
this observed violation.
As discussed during the Review, it is imperative that this problem be eliminated as soon as possible. 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.
Also remember that all registered livestock operations are required to obtain and implement an approved
animal waste management plan by the end of this year, and to gain certification as a animal waste system operator.
The animal waste management plan must be certified by either a designated technical specialist or a professional
engineer. For additional assistance with the plan, please contact your local Soil and Water Conservation District
Office or local Cooperative Extension Service Office.

SUBJECT: Notice of Violation
Designation of Operator in Charge
Williams Dairy Farm
Facility Number 30--24
Davie County
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
[phone].

for

Dear Mr. Williams:
IDF.:HNF;Z
Subject: Operator In Charge Designation
Facility: Williams Dairy Farm
Facility ID #: 30-24
Davie County
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
Operator in Charge and must submit the enclosed designation form to the WPCSOCC. If you do not intend to
operate your animal waste management system yourself, you must designate an employee or engage a contract
operator to be the Operator in Charge. The person designated as the Operator in Charge, whether yourself or
another person, must complete the enclosed application form for temporary certification as an animal waste
management system operator. Both the designation form and the application form must be completed and
returned by December 31, 1996.
If you have questions about the new requirements for animal waste management system operators, please call
Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt at 919n33-0026.
