TED CARTER W SEC. - TREASURER Mr. Church: DR. BILL H. DAvls, JR. MEMBER Staff from the Wilkes Soil and Water Conservation District visited your property on January 16, 2008 to discuss the location of the 100 year floodplain as designated by the Federal DwAMEMM R ERS Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) maps. The site is located next to a tributary of Naked Creek (see attached map). After review, it is our opinion that the location of the proposed poultry houses do not fall within this designated area. This determination was based on information contained on the Wilkes County FEMA maps, Community Panel Number: 370256 0150 B, Effective Date: May 15, 1991 and from calculations performed in consultation with USDA-NRCS Engineer. There is no guarantee of the accuracy of this statement either expressed or implied. You can complete an "Elevation Certificate" and submit it to FEMA for review and determination if you wish to certify any of these findings. Additional information is available on FEMA's web site. There are no regulations, to the best of my knowledge, prohibiting you from building on your proposed site. I would, however, like to express an opinion on the site from a soils standpoint. The proposed area contains the soil series Toccoa with the soil type being ToA. This soil has limitations such as: 1. Potential for flooding - "Flooding" is the temporary inundation of an area caused by overflowing streams, by runoff from adjacent slopes, or by tides. Water standing for short periods after rainfall or snowmelt is not considered flooding. 2. Slow surface runoff of water resulting in ponding etc. "Ponding" is standing water in a closed depression. Unless a drainage system is installed, the water is removed only by percolation, transpiration, or evaporation. 3. Shallow depth to water table- "Water table" refers to a saturated zone in the soil. The proximity to the stream bank causes some concern as well. Sloughing of the bank could lead to problems with the poultry house foundation. Debris that collects in the stream could clog culverts and result in water damage. It would be our recommendation that an alternate site be selected, if available. If we may be of other assistance to you in the future, do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, L.

This table shows the degree and kind of soil limitations that affect dwellings and small commercial buildings. The ratings in the table are both verbal and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent to which the soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect building site development. "Not limited" indicates that the soil has features that are very favorable for the specified use. Good performance and very low maintenance can be expected. "Somewhat limited" indicates that the soil has features that are moderately favorable for the specified use. The limitations can�be overcome or minimized by special planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and moderate maintenance can be expected. "Very limited" indicates that the soil has one or more features that are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations generally cannot be overcome without major soil reclamation, special design, or.expensive installation procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance can be expected. Numerical ratings in the table indicate the severity of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They indicate -gradations between the point at which a soil feature has the greatest negative impact on the use (1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a limitation (0.00). "Dwellings" are single-family houses of three stories or less. For dwellings without basements, the foundation is assumed to consist of spread footings of reinforced concrete built on undisturbed soil at a depth of 2 feet or at the depth of maximum frost penetration, whichever is deeper. For dwellings with basements, the foundation is assumed to consist of spread footings of reinforced concrete built on undisturbed soil at a depth of about 7 feet. The ratings for dwellings are based on the soil properties that affect the capacity of the soil to support a load without movement and on the properties that affect excavation and construction costs. The properties that affect the load -supporting capacity include depth to a water table, ponding, flooding, subsidence, linear extensibility (shrink -swell potential), and compressibility. Compressibility is inferred from the Unified classification, The properties that affect the ease and amount of excavation include depth to a water table, ponding, flooding, slope, depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, hardness of bedrock or a cemented pan, and the amount and size of rock fragments. . "Small commercial buildings" are structures that are less than three stories high and do not have basements. The foundation is assumed to consist of spread footings of reinforced concrete built on undisturbed soil at a depth of 2 feet or at the depth of maximum frost penetration, whichever is deeper. The ratings are based on the soil properties that affect the capacity of the soil to support a load without movement and on the properties that affect excavation and construction costs. The properties that affect the load -supporting capacity include depth to a water table, ponding, flooding, subsidence, linear extensibility (shrink -swell potential), and compressibility (which is inferred from the Unified classification). The properties that affect the ease and amount of excavation include flooding, depth to a water table, ponding, slope, depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, hardness of bedrock or a cemented pan, and the amount and size of rock fragments. Information in this table.is intended for land use planning, for evaluating land use alternatives, and for planning site investigations prior to design and construction, The information, however, has limitations. For example, estimates and other data generally apply only to that part of the soil between the surface and a depth of 5 to 7 feet. Because of the map scale, small areas of different soils may be included within the mapped areas of a specific soil. The Information is not site specific and does not eliminate the need for onsite investigation of the soils or for testing and analysis by personnel experienced in the design and construction of engineering works. Government ordinances and regulations that restrict certain land uses or impose specific design criteria were not considered In preparing the information in this table. Local ordinances and regulations should be considered in planning, in site selection, and in design.

Page 1 of 2 Map Unit Description Detailed Soil Map Units The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions in this report, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. A map unit delineation_ on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils: Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever; can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic Gasses other than those of the major soils. Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description, Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps. The contrasting components are mentioned in the map unit descriptions. A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical tdmake enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape. The presence of minor components Ina map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each description indicates the composition of the map unit and selected properties of the components of the unit. Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a "soil series." Except for differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement. Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into "soil phases." Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase -commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series. Some map units are made up of two or more major lolls or miscellaneous areas. These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups. A "complex" consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all areas. Alpha -Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example. An "association" is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha -Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. An "undifferentiated group" is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar]nterpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. Some surveys include "miscellaneous areas." Such areas have little or no soil material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example. Additional information about the map units described in this report is available in other Soil Data Mart reports, which give properties of the soils and the limitations, capabilities, and potentials for many uses. Also, the narratives that accompany the Soil Data Mart reports define some of the properties included in the map unit descriptions.

Thorpe. Ph.D. Acting Director Division of Water Duality March 21, 2002 On March 15, 2002 staff from the Division of Water Quality's Winston-Salem Regional Office (DWQ- WSRO) responded to a written complaint received by our office on March 11, 2002. The complaint alleged that animal waste was "running into the creek" from a hay ring on pasture owned by you on Dr. Miles Road (Tract- 9881, Field-2). This Notice is to summarize the water duality concerns noted during the inspection. A copy of the completed inspection form is also enclosed for your review. Specifically, staff. observed evidence of animal waste run-off coming from the cattle feed ring, located only 16 feet uphill, from Naked Creek (Class C Waters of the State). Approximately 17 inches of sediment and feed contaminated with cattle waste was noted extending four to five feet into the creek. The current situation allows for a continued discharge to surface waters of the State, especially during rain events. Increased algal growth was also noted in the creek at the site of impact, indicating nutrients in the water. A slight decline in dissolved oxygen was also measured in the stream between the impacted area and 108 feet downstream. These situations also allow for a probable water quality violation of water quality standards (fecal coliform, biological oxygen demand, turbidity, nutrients, dissolved oxygen, etc.), particularly if conditions deteriorate and/or as the water temperature rises. Please be advised that the non -permitted discharge of any type of wastewater to the waters of the State is illegal as per NCGS 143-215.1 and could subject you to criminal and civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day per violation. Per recommendations from the Seventh Guidance Memo (Implementing the Environmental Management Commission's Regulations for Animal Waste Management) we strongly urge you to permanently move the feed ring back at least 100 feet from the creek. This "buffer area" will serve as a filter for cattle waste and nutrients between the feed area and surface water. The contaminated soil and feed should also be removed from the area and land applied to the nearby pasture. Per conversation between DWQ-WSRO staff and Mr. Joel Church (co-owner of cattle), it is our understanding that this is to be accomplished as soon as possible. It is suggested that another feed ring, approximately t/4 mile back towards Champion -Mt. Pleasant Rd. also be moved away from the creek. rrw'",� . �rf_i EN,--:.

On the date of this inspection, approximately 17 inches of manure and sediment and feed contaminated by cattle manure was observed + :xtending four to five feet into Naked Creek (Class C Waters of the State). The impact appeared to be as a result of cattle being fed at a `feed ring" only 16 feet from waters of the State. Algal and aquatic plant growth was noted in the stream at the site of impact. Slight 3ecline in dissolved oxygen measured in stream between impact area and 108 feet downstream.

C. 27102-2241 Gentlemen: N.C. Dept. Ot-EHNP 74AR 11 2002 Winston-Salem fle9ional Offices I am writing concerning a situation near my home that needs immediate attention from someone. According to the office of Environmental Health that I visited recently, your office is the one I need to contact. (W 1 1 k r s b ­-o , N There is a man in the community who has a large number of cattle. He has a hay ring located right against his fence so he can just roll his hay off his truck into the ring without having to drive into his pasture. The ring is no where near big enough for all the cattle to get around and some have to stand back and wait to get a bite if there is any left. The cattle are standing in manure up to theirknees and it is so soupy it is running into the creek which is right below the ring. The mess is half way across the creek already and pretty soon will be-all the way across it: It is terrible to look at and no doubt is a hazard to the cattle and to any humans who consume the beef when the cattle are slaughtered. It also appeared he had dumped a truck load of some kind Of litter (probably chicken litter) next to the ring for the cattle to eat and this has made the problem even worse. The problem is on Road # 1152 off the Champion Mt. Pleasant Road in Ferguson, N. C. The man who owns the cattle is Joel Church, 176 Carroll Town Road, Ferguson, N. C. 28624 and phone number is 336-973-5167. Please have someone from your office to look into this terrible situation before it gets worse. If he would just move his hay ring to another location not so close to the creek it would solve the problem or at least keep it from becoming worse. I do not know how the mess that is already there can be fixed, but something definitely needs to be done and right away. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, A very concerned citizen.
