On August 22, 1991, the WSRO received a complaint of dead
fish in a creek near Sam Wilson's Dairy Farm. The Wilson's
spray liquid manure on their fields. On August 20, 1991,
manure entered the stream. Mr. Wilson was aware of the manure
entering the stream but he failed to notify the Division.
The Wildlife Resources Commission was called to perform a
"pick up". The fish replacement costs totalled $175.90.
All water quality samples were sent chain of custody.
Instantaneous D.O. was violated at the downstream site.
Attached are two copies of the enforcement checklists
detailing the violations. It is recommended that Mr. Sam
Wilson be subject to enforcement action as deemed appropriate.

CIVIL PENALTY ASSESSMENT FACTORS FOR WATER QUALITY CASES
Each factor must be addressed in detail even though other
parts of the report may include this information. If
unknown, state why. If not applicable, state why.
a.
b.
On August 22, 1991, the WSRO was notified that the
stream at Sam Wilson's Dairy Farm was black with
manure. Immediately, inspectors left for the site.
The inspectors met with Danny Wilson, son of Sam
Wilson. Danny indicated that they were spraying liquid
manure on the fields all day on August 20, 1991. The
spray nozzle can send 600 gallons per minute on the
fields. The spray head is moved every hour with a
tractor. On August 20, 1991, the Wilsons' observed
that there was runoff. A disc was taken to the
soil/manure in an attempt to prevent the manure from
reaching the stream.
This violation could have been prevented if more
attention was paid to the spray fields. The nozzle is
moved and left alone for the hour before returning to
move it again. Therefore, the cause of the violation
was within the violator's control.
It is noteworthy that on October 7, 1986, Mr. Wilson
was designated as a Concentrated Animal Feedlot.
According to the September 18, 1986 Designation
Memorandum to Dr. George Everett, "This has occurred
numerous times in the past and has been documented by
the Winston-Salem Regional Office on four different
occasions since 1977."
(State how you arrived at your conclusion.) Mr.
Michael Mickey and Mr. Eric Galamb from the WSRO
arrived at the downstream sampling point at
approximately 1:05 p.m. on August 22, 1991.
Approximately 30 dead fish were observed in the
downstream reach at SR 2126. The D.O. was 3.8 mg/l.
This is a violation of the minimum instantaneous value of
4.0 mg/l. Please note that the spill occurred two days
prior to the investigation. The five day BOD was 8.0
mg/1 at the downstream site.
The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission (Ms. Sherri L.
Bryant) was asked to make a fish -kill investigation.
Their report is in Attachment A.
The runoff of the manure caused the dissolved oxygen to
be reduced to a level that resulted in a fish kill.

C. Duration of the violation. The violation occurred
while spray irrigating on August 20, 1991. The
duration of the violation is unknown.
d.

Attachment A). The affected stream is an U.T. to Haw
Creek, a WS III NSW watershed.

taken. After the runoff was noticed, Mr. Wilson took
a disc to prevent the manure from entering the stream.
Mr. Wilson had previously constructed a "catch basin"
at the toe of the drainage area per the guidance of the
Orange Soil Water Conservation District as a result of
previous fish kills. This "catch basin" was primarily
full of solids and Mr. Sam Wilson indicated that he
needed to excavate the catch basin once again. Dr.
James Baker with the Agriculture Extension Service
suggested on November 4, 1986, that Mr. Wilson add an
auxiliary engine to the traveller so it would propel
itself through the field. Mr. Wilson reported that he
is using a tractor to move the spray head. Either the
advice was not taken or the auxiliary engine no longer
functions.
The violator has taken the minimum steps to try to
achieve compliance with environmental laws.
f.
cleanup costs. The fish replacement costs are the
minimum costs to rectify the damage. The fish
replacement cost is $175.90.
q. The alleged violator's previous record of compliance or
noncompliance (list other enforcement actions, civil
penalties assessed, NOVs, NONs.) The DEM has responded
five times now to problems resulting from Mr. Wilson's
Dairy Farm.
h.

mitigating or aggravating factors.

state why you believe the fish were killed. The fish
were killed as a result of manure, an oxygen demanding
substance, being introduced into the stream. The
manure caused the dissolved oxygen in the stream to be
reduced to a point where the fish suffocated. Two days
after the spill, DEM took an instantaneous D.O. sample
which measured 3.8 mg/l. This is below the water

BIOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF FISH -KILL
WATERS INVOLVED: Small tributary to Haw Creek
COUNTY: Alamance.
DATE(S): 22 August to 23 August 1991
A. OBSERVATIONS REPORTED:
Eric Galamb from DEN contacted me at 1500 h. on 22 August 1991
and informed me there had been a fish kill on a small tributary to Haw
Creek near Mebane. He requested a fish pick up at that time.
Brad Hammers and myself proceeded to the site at about 1600 h.
We observed approximately 20 fish in a small pool below SR-2128, we
did not observe any fish above this road crossing. We proceeded along
the creek about 300 yards and observed another 10-15 fish. We then
went downstream to a bridge crossing on SR-1007. We did not observe
any dead fish below or above this bridge crossing. We concluded that
the kill took place somewhere between these two bridges. On a map, it
appeared that the distance was approximately 1/3 of a mile. We
decided a total pick up would be feasible.
At 0900h. on 23 August 1991 Brad and myself proceeded to the
site. We picked up all fish located between SR-2128 and SR-1007 (see
map). All fish were classified to species and measured. Fish
collection concluded about 1230 h. A summation of the data is
attached.

Subject: Notice of Designation
Wilson Dairy Farm
Alamance County,
North Carolina
Dear Mr. Wilson:
This letter is to notify you that the Wilson Dairy Farm in Alamance
County has been designated by the Director, Division of Environmental
Management, a concentrated animal feeding operation and should submit
applications for an NPDES Discharge Permit in accordance with Title 15,
North Carolina Administrative Code 2H 0123 and adopted Federal Regula-
tions 40 CFR 124.82 (a)(2)(ii). Attached for your information is a copy
of the Director's designation.
An evaluation of your Dairy Operation conducted August 11, 1986,
and September 8, 1986, by members of the staff of the Water Quality
Section, indicated that your Dairy Operation is a concentrated animal
feeding operation. This designation was made based on the following
considerations:
The location of the feedlot relative to the surface waters of the State;
2. The direct discharge of animal waste to the State's surface waters;
and
3. Indication of dissolved oxygen and fecal coliform violations in an
unnamed tributary to Haw Creek, thereby requiring the submission
of applications for an NPDES Discharge Permit.

If you can permanently eliminate the discharge of wastewater to the
surface waters of the State, by such minor changes as can be effected
within sixty (60) days from receipt of this notice to submit permit
applications (such as, but not limited to, diversion of outside drainage
from pen areas, modifications to lagoons, closing off drainage ditches).
a permit application will not be required. If, however, modifications
necessary to permanently eliminate the discharge of wastewater to the
surface waters of the State cannot, or are not completed within sixty
(60) days of receipt of this notice, a permit application must be
submitted.
For your information, the following items are enclosed:
1. One copy of the Federal Register - Concentrated Animal Feeding
Operations 40 CFR 124.
2. Three copies of NPDES Discharge Permit Application - Short Form
B.
If you cannot permanently eliminate the discharge within sixty
(60) days, the permit applications will be processed. Said permit will
contain a time schedule leading to the completion of construction of

MEMORANDUM

FROM: Wally Sanford (,r %
Jim Greer!- l
SUBJECT: Fish Ki1T of Mid -July at Sam Wilson's Farm
Alamance/Orange County
In response to questions raised as to the origin of fatal stress on
these fish, Mr. Greer and I agree that upstream of Mr. Wilson's feed lot
fish were not in distress, water appeared clear, and dissolved oxygen was
repeatedly measured at adequate levels. Downstream there was 100% fish
kill, floating solids, and measured anaerobic conditions. Jessica Howells
took samples that should document our observations.
Therefore, in our opinion, the necessary and sufficient condition for
the subject fish kill was clearly the runoff of lagoon waste from Mr. Wil-
son's farm and not low flow or dissolved oxygen.
We recommend assessment of DEM and Wildlife expenses, but no civil
penalty.

Dear Mr. Wilms:

,. QU of End ron7 *nw um
I)a`a;a1Eh. M 4
This is written on behalf of Mr. Sam Wilson, Route 6, Box 43, Mebane,
North Carolina, a dairy farmer.
It is my understanding that a large number of fish died in the Haw
Creek in mid —July, and that State authorities investigating the kill,
notified Mr. Wilson that manure —laden water he used from his lagoon to water
his parched corn field was the probable cause for the kill.
Our concern centers around whether the NRCD has the capability of
determining if the fish died from the spill into the creek or if they died
as a result of the drought. If Mr. Wilson is held completely responsible
for the kill, he will be charged for the investigation and the replacement
value of the fish. The figure totals approximately $950, according to
information obtained from the Fish Division.
As with all farmers, Mr. Wilson is struggling. I trust it will be
possible to determine the cause of the kill, and to ensure that if Mr.
Wilson is held liable for the investigation and the replacement value, that
his liability will only be assessed on the basis of the number of fish which
actually died as a result of anything he may have caused.
Your attention to this matter will be greatly appreciated. Please
advise me about the disposition of this matter.

SUBJECT: Concentrated Animal Feedlot Designation
Sam Wilson Dairy farm
Alamance County, North Carolina
Attached is a Report of Investigation conducted on August 11, 1986
and September 8, 1986 by the staff of the Winston-Salem Regional Office
concerning Sam Wilson's Dairy Farm. Also attached are a suggested memoran-
dum of designation as a feedlot for the Director's signature, letter of
designation with a copy of the appropriate Federal Register, three copies
of Short Form B Application for NPDES Permit, one copy of supplementary
instructions for the Section Chief's signature and a copy of a Report
of Investigation conducted on January 14, 1986.
It is our recommendation, as indicated by the report, that the owner
of the subject operation be required either to cease any discharge of
wastewaters to the surface waters of the State or to submit applications
for a permit to discharge wastewater to the surface waters until an
animal waste management system can be constructed which will assure
that discharges to surface waters do not occur. It should be noted
that Mr. Wilson has both the means and the knowledge to properly conduct
his dairy operation so as to prevent any discharge by using land application
techniques. Because he has demonstrated that he cannot consistently
operate without a direct discharge, it is felt by WSRO that Mr. Wilson's
dairy operation in Alamance County should be designated a concentrated
animal feedlot operation.

Sam Wilson Dairy Farm
Concentrated Animal Feedlot Designation
Alamance County
Report:
On July 17, 1986 the Raleigh Regional Office received a report of a
fish kill on Haw Creek on SR1007 in Alamance County. Mr. Wally Sanford
investigated and found that the fish kill had resulted from the discharge
of a large amount of animal waste to an unnamed tributary to Haw Creek
from Mr. Samuel A. Wilson's dairy farm. Mr. Sanford discussed regulations
and clean-up techniques with Mr. Wilson; Mr. Wilson indicated that he
would pump out the solids and remove the dead fish.
The following day, July 18, 1986, Messrs. Greer and Daniel with the
Raleigh Regional Office supervised the clean-up. I also went to the site
as Mr. Wilson's farm is in Alamance County (which is the responsibility
of the Winston-Salem Regional Office). I took dissolved oxygen (D.O.)
readings. The D.O. downstream from Mr. Wilson's dairy at SR1007 was
0.6 mg/l; the D.O. at Mr. Wilson's dairy farm at SR2128 (where there
was a large amount of solids) was 0.6 mg/l; the D.O. upstream from Mr.
Wilson's dairy at SR2187 (Wilson Road) was 6.8 mg/l. Photographs were
also taken at these locations. North Carolina Division of Inland Fisheries
Staff conducting a count of fish killed estimated the number of dead fish
at 800 to 900. Mr. Wilson and his son, Danny Wilson, were pumping solids
out of the creek. Mr. Wilson estimated that 21,000 gallons of liquid
were pumped from the creek that day. Mr. Wilson also indicated that
only 2000 to 3000 gallons of manure was discharged to the creek. He said
that they had been spray irrigating their corn fields approximately three
days before the fish kill and, when the hose was pulled too tightly,
a junction between two hoses began to leak. This ran off the field
and to the stream. When he saw the stream turning black he told Danny
to turn off the pump; however, he did not pump the manure from the stream
nor did he notify our Office.
Mr. Wilson installed two waste lagoons in July, 1977, as a result
of complaints concerning animal waste from his dairy being discharged to
the stream. The Orange County Soil Conservation Service designed the lagoons
and the North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service assisted in funding
the installation. Only one lagoon is currently used as an animal waste
lagoon; the other lagoon is being used as a fresh water pond.
On May 15, 1983 a complaint investigation by staff of the Winston-
Salem Regional Office again found animal waste from Mr. Wilson's dairy
farm being discharged to surface waters. During the investigation it
was found that the lagoon was overflowing at a low point on the far side
of the lagoon. Mr. Wilson was told to build up the earth wall of the
n

d
Page Two
lagoon to better contain waste and to inspect the lagoon on a regular basis.
I also conducted a complaint investigation concerning Haw Creek on
March 19, 1986. I took D.O. readings (13.2 mg/1) and BOD, COD, residue,
ammonia, and metals samples. At the time of the investigation Mr. Wilson's
animal waste maintenance system appeared well maintained and I saw no
sign of a discharge. Mr. Wilson admitted that there had been an accidental
spill at this spray irrigation site when one location was overloaded.
However, he indicated that approximately 10,000 gallons of manure were
lost and, because of the high D.O. in the stream, I thought that this
quantity was unlikely. Sample results did indicate numerous water quality
violations. The fecal coliform level was 3100/100 ml; total dissolved
solids were 1200 mg/l; manganese was 8300 ug/l; copper was 130 ug/l;
and zinc was 270 ug/l. Water quality limitations for WS-III waters (Haw
Creek is Class WS-III) are 1000/100 ml for fecal coliform, 500 mg/l
total dissolved solids, 200 ug/l manganese, and action levels of 15 ug/l
and 50 ug/l for copper and zinc respectively. Mr. Wilson said that he
would be more cautious in the future.
Due to the number of times that waste from Mr. Wilson's farm has
gained access to the surface waters of the State, I conducted investigations
on August 11, 1986 and September 8, 1986 to determine if the Wilson
dairy farm met the criteria needed to be designated as a concentrated
animal feedlot. It was determined that Mr. Wilson has approximately
450 Holstein cattle that he feeds and milks in a covered area with a
concrete floor. The cows stay in this area overnight, are driven to
fields during the day, and are gathered up again in the evenings. As
such they are contained in the feeding and milking area for more than
45 days during the year. Waste from this area is scraped and hosed down
the sloping floor of the feeding area to a ditch which carries the waste
to the lagoon. Mr. Wilson said that the feeding and milking area is cleaned
every other day. He estimated that this area was approximately two acres
in size. The feeding area itself consisted of two lanes 300 feet by
14 feet in size, as well as a third feeding area that was approximately
50,000 square feet. Mr. Wilson said that his lagoon holds approximately
1,000,000 gallons and the waste is land applied about three days out of
every week. The application area is Mr. Wilson's feed corn crop and border
areas. After the July 17, 1986 fish kill, Mr. Wilson dug three pits
at the low points in the pasture below the application area to catch
runoff. One pit was full of rainwater during the investigation. The
pits would hold approximately 1000 gallons each. When spray irrigating
Mr. Wilson said that they check the sprayer every hour and move it to
a different location if necessary.

Page Three
During the August 11, 1986 investigation D.O. and pH, readings were
again taken as were fecal coliform samples. The D.O. was:3.2 mg/I, the
pH was 6.7 S.U., and fecal coliform was 240/100 ml downstream from the
dairy•at SR1007. At the dairy at SR2128, the D.O. was 3.4 mg/l, the
pH was 6.9 S.U., and fecal coliform was 43,000/100 ml. Upstream from the
dairy at SR2187 the D.O. was 7.4 mg/l, the pH was 7.0 S.U., and fecal coliform
was 40/100 ml. Water quality standards for D.O. and fecal coliform
are 4.0 mg/l (minimum instantaneous value) and 1000/100ml, respectively.
Due to the documented water quality violations in Haw Creek and in
an unnamed tributary to Haw Creek and to unpermitted discharges of waste-
water to the unnamed tributary it is recommended that Sam Wilson's dairy
be designated a Concentrated Animal feeding Operation. It is also recom-
mended that sufficient actions be taken to prevent further discharges
to waters of the State.

the Director's designation.
An evaluation of your Dairy Operation conducted August 11, 1986,
and September 8, 1986, by members of the staff of the Water Quality
Section, indicated that your Dairy Operation is a concentrated animal
feeding operation. This designation was made based on the following
considerations:
1. The location of the feedlot relative to the surface waters of the State;
The direct discharge of animal waste to the State's surface waters;
and
3. Indication of dissolved oxygen and fecal coliform violations in an
unnamed tributary to Haw Creek, thereby requiring the submission
of applications for an NPDES Discharge Permit.

If you can permanently eliminate the discharge of wastewater to the surface
waters of the State, by such minor changes as can be effected within
sixty (60) days from receipt of this notice to submit permit applications
(such as, but not limited to, diversion of outside drainage from pen areas,
modifications to lagoons, closing off drainage ditches), a permit applica-
tion will not be required. If, however, modifications necessary to
permanently eliminate the discharge of wastewater to the surface waters
of the State cannot, or are not completed within sixty (60) days of receipt
of this notice, a permit application must be submitted.
For your information, the following items are enclosed:
1. One copy of the Federal Register - Concentrated Animal Feeding
Operations 40 CFR 124.
Three copies of NPDES Discharge Permit Application - Short Form B.
If you cannot permanently eliminate the discharge within sixty (60)

MEMORANDUM
TO: George Everett, Chief
Water Quality Section
FROM: R. Paul Wilms, Director
Division of Environmental Management
SUBJECT: Designation of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation
Sam Wilson's Dairy Farm
Alamance County, North Carolina
On August 11, 1986, and September 8, 1986, Jessica Howells,.Environ-
mental Technician V in the Winston-Salem Regional Office, conducted an
inspection of Sam Wilson's Dairy Farm for the purpose of making a determi-
nation as to whether or not the dairy should be designated a concentrated
animal feeding operation. During the course of the inspection, the
following determinations were made:
1. Animals are confined for more than 45 days in a 12-month period;
2. Forage is not sustained in the areas of confinement;
3. Approximately 450 mature dairy cattle are maintained in the area
of confinement north of SR2128 in Alamance County;
4. Due to inadequate animal waste management techniques animal waste
is allowed to enter the State's surface waters by the malfunction
of land application equipment, the overloading of waste and resultant
runoff from an application area, or the discharge of animal waste
from Mr. Wilson's lagoon. This has occurred numerous times in the
past and has been documented by the Winston-Salem Regional Office
on four different occasions since 1977.
5. Samples taken of the U.T. to Haw Creek on July 18, 1986 revealed
a dissolved oxygen (D.O.) level upstream from Wilson's dairy (SR1140)
of 6.8 mg/l. At Wilson's dairy (SR2128) the D.O. was 0.6 mg/l.
Downstream from Wilson's dairy on SR1007 the D.O. was 0.6 mg/l.
There were 800 to 900 fish that died as a result of this D.O.
depletion, according to the N.C. Division of Fisheries. Samples

George Everett

September 18, 1986
were also taken on August 11, 1986. Upstream from Wilson's dairy at
SR1140 the 0.0. was 7.4 mg/l and the fecal coliform level was 40/100 mi.
At Wilson's dairy at SR2146 the D.O. of the U.T. was 3.4 mg/l and the
fecal coliform level was 43,000/100 mi. Downstream from Wilson's dairy
at SR1007 the D.O. was 3.2 mg/l and the fecal coliform level was 240/100 mi.
In consideration of the determinations made during the August 11,
1986, and September 8, 1986, inspections, and in compliance with the
requirements of Title.15, North Carolina Administrative Code 2H .0123, and
40 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 124.82, I am hereby designating
the Sam Wilson Dairy Farm as a concentrated animal feeding operation.
Notice should be given to Mr. Wilson to make application for an NPDES
Discharge Permit in accordance with the requirements set forth in Title
15, North Carolina Administrative Code 2H .0123..

This letter is about the latest violations in .the water -quality
of our creek which runs in to the Haw River.
We want for you to understand that this grossy violations of the
enviroment dobe by Mr.Sam Wilson is not new. In your records is
my first complaint, nine years ago, which your office investigated.
Year after year because nobody is doing nothing to really stop the
manure to be dumped -NOT ACCIDENTALLY - in the creek, he just will
tell the next inspector or neighbord in line 11 I AM SORRY" This was
and accident and I will he more carefull in the future. Because he is
our neighbord, so many people in tgis area do not want to take actions
against him. I talked twice with Mr. Wilson and he gave me the same
empty words that we are hearing today. When my lawyer told him that
he was ready to go to court to make him to,clean the creek, he came
with some of the money to do the cleaning. At that time we took 150
truck loads of manure out of the cree. Some kind of accident ..I
Our neigbords are angry. People can not do any fishing and we have
to live with the decomposed odors from the manure. Why do we have to
live, year after year, with this unpleasent situation.?
Your Agency must fine this man and gave him the FINAL NOTICE. NO MORE
MANURE IN THE CREEK. PERIOD .
Mr. Wilms. Twelve years ago my wife and myself bought this peace of
land. We develop our subdivision which is called Fork Creek.When we
bought it was beatiful/ The creek water was qualified by the Alamance
County Healt.dept. almost drinkable. We have done a lot of improvementf
along the creek and clean the stream twice for trash and foreign mate-
rials. We want our creek back as it was before.We hope that this time
you have more than enough evidences to impose a stiff penalty on Mr.
Wilson so he will learn that he can not play with people health and
the enviroment.We expect,from your Agency,periodically checks on this
matter because every year, in the summer when the water is low, we
notice the MjnRE runing down the stream.
Please let us #now about the outcome of this investigatbn.
Sincerely yours., E //��

f am forwarding my comments and recommendations regarding wante var,agement et
your dairy farm as a follow-up to our visit on Cctober 29, 19P.6.
Regarding lagoon managemenr, 1 have two suggestions. I would try to put the
manure solids separator back into operation to reduce the amount of manure
solids entering the laguon. 'this would reduce the frequency of solids clean -
out from the lagoon and reduce the amount of solids pumped through the
irrigation system. Secondly, I would pump the lagoon and lower it as much as
possible during the dryer periods when field conditions would allow a higher
intiltration rate in order to provide more storage during the rainy periods.
Otherwise, after evaluating the alternatives, I believe the ayatew that you
have is as manageable at any, both from a cost still labor standpoint.
The first thing I would do regarding. irrigation would be to add the auxiliary
engine to the traveller eo it would propel itself throug.n till field. T'hii
would allow a more uniform application rate reducing, the likelihood of runoff during irrigation. .41so the faster the traveller forward speed, the lower the application rate would be. Liihter applications would be necessary for wetter
soil conditions. If a field application is an ahynlute must to preyed lal:onn overflow when soil moisture conditions are near saturation, (lien I U-ould probably only irrigate onto the upper half of the field at very 1ipl,t rates.
As discussed during our visit, SCS advice should be sought on whethg,r or riot
contoured terracing of the field being irrigated would be feaxible. he have found at other land application sites that contour terraces with nir,imal slope
to a grassed waterway nutlet sirnificently reducFs the amount of rainfall
runoff from the lower edge of the field. These terraces provide tomporary
storage of a significant angoact of runoff tiger otherwise would leave the. :-field, They also provide filterinr, it: caniunctior, with the grassed outlet, of tro
sediment and manure solids it: tfre u ruofi, Construction of these terrace; uot;ld be eliKible for cost —sharing under the I:urth Carolina .Ap.riculturel Cu>r -'•nAr ,Prorra.n. e

I believe that these refinement* along with diligent attention to the
management of your existing system would go a long ways toward eliminating the
potential for direct stream discharge of wastes from your dairy oneration.
Should you have questions about these recommendations, or if I can be of
further assistance, please contact me.

Dear Mr. Coble:
I am forwarding my comments and recommendations regarding Sam Wilson's
dairy farm in Mebane, N. C. Mr. Wilson and I visited on November 24, 1986
on the farm and agree to several possible solutions that should help
eliminate his problems with the handling of waste from his livestock.
Mr. Wilson has purchased the auxiliary engine that Dr. James Barker
recommended in his November 4 letter to Mr. Wilson. This engine would
be added to the irrigation traveller so it can propel itself through
the field. Mr. Wilson also plans to use the manure solids separator as
recommended. The existing diversions around the lagoon will be cleaned out
to allow proper drainage, therefore, diverting some of the excess rainfall
run-off from entering the lagoon. The use of the separator and the de-
crease in excess rainfall into the lagoon will lessen the total liquid
that must be irrigated.
During my visit with Mr. Wilson, we discussed the possibility of terracing
the field that is being irrigated. I feel as large as the field is and with
its rolling landscape, it would not be feasible to terrace on the contour
and still be farmable. Nay recommendations, and Mr. Wilson agrees, is to
use field striperopping with two or three natural draws being seeded as
grassed waterways. The striperopping pattern would lay across the general
contour of the field with 108 feet wide strips. These strips will have
an alternating pattern of grass and cultivated crop throughout the field.
The grass strips will be maintained for hayland, therefore, these strips
could be irrigated more frequently than the crop strip, plus the grass will
act as a filter should run-off begin in a crop strip.
Mr. Wilson has excavated three "catch basins" at the toe of each pre-
dominate natural drain. I feel these basins are an excellent way to collect
any accidental run-off of waste before it reaches the stream. Mr. Wilson
and I also discussed the need for some "fine tuning" of these basins such
as sizing, seeding vegetation around the edges, fencing cows out, etc. The
pasture that these basins are in will be reseeded and the number of
cattle on the pasture will be decreased so a good stand of grass can be
maintained.
CONSERVATION - DEVELOPMENT - SELF-GOVERNMENT Vol
�

Mr. Larry Coble -2- December 1, 1986
I feel this combination of striperopping, grassed waterways in
the natural depressions, and the catch basins will be the most
effective ways to prevent any future problems. Mr. Wilson,
having installed the basins on his own, is eager to cooperate
and willing to do all of the recommended plans on the field.
Due to the time of year, we are limited in how much progress
can be made. We must wait until spring for suitable weather
conditions and seeding time for the striperopping system but I
feel the catch basins will be suitable during this short period
of time.
If you have any questions concerning may recommendations, please
feel free to call.
Sincerely,

REMISSION
A request for remission or mitigation is not the proper method for
contesting the attached civil penalty assessment. Because a remission request
forecloses the opV.pn of an administrative hearing, the request must be
accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrntive hearing and a
stipulation that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute. You must sign
and return the attached waiver and stipulation form to this office. Finally, your
detailed justification should include any relevant documentation, and state a case
that:
-one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1(b)
were wrongly applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
-continuing environmental damage resulting damage resulting from the
violation was promptly abated;
-the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
-the violator has not been assessed civil penalties for any previous
violations;
-payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining
necessary remedial actions.
APPEAL
If you file a contested case petition, it must be in writing and in the
form prescribed by N.C. Gen. Stat. § 15013-23. File the original petition and
one copy with OAH, Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina
27611-7447. Any questions about filing a petition may be directed to the Clerk
of OAH by telephoning [phone]. You must serve DEHNR by mailing a
copy of the petition to:
Mr. John C. hunter
Registered Agent and General Counsel
Post Office Box 27687
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611
To negotiate a settlement of this assessment, present your offer to
Associate Attorney General Gelblum who may be contacted by telephone at (919)
733-7247. Settlement offers do not extend the 30-day deadline for responding to
this assessment. Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement
action against you for any continuing or new violation.

CIVIL PENALTY ASSESSMENT
Acting pursuant to North Carolina General Statute (G.S.)
143-215.6A, I George T. Everett, Director of the Division of
Environmental Management (DEM), make the following:
I. FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. On August 22, 1991, DEM was notified that the stream at
Sam Wilson's Dairy Farm (on SR 2126 in Alamance County) was
black with manure. The subject stream is an unnamed
tributary to Haw Creek and is classified "WS III -Nutrient
Sensitive Waters.$ Inspectors left immediately for the
site.
B. The inspectors met with Danny Wilson, son of Sam
Wilson. Danny Wilson indicated that liquid manure had been
sprayed on the fields all day on August 20, 1991. The
Wilsons' nozzle can spray 600 gallons per minute on the
fields. 'The spray head is moved every hour with a tractor.
According to Danny Wilson, the Wilsons observed that there
was runoff on August 20th, at which point a disc was taken
to the soil/manure in an attempt to prevent the manure from
reaching the stream.
C. The discharge of manure to the subject stream killed
574 fish by Wildlife Resources Commission estimate; recovery
of the costs involved is being sought separately.
D. Pursuant to prior fish kills and numerous reports of
manure discharges to the stream (four of which were
documented since 1977), the Wilson Dairy Farm was designated
as a Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation on October 7,
1986.
E. In the interim, Mr. Sam Wilson had constructed a "catch
basin" at the toe of the drainage area per guidance of the

-2-
Orange Soil Water Conservation District. At the time of
this incident said "catch basin" was primarily full of
solids and Mr. Sam Wilson indicated that it needed
excavation. Also, by letter dated November 4, 1986, Dr.
James Barker of the Agricultural Extension Service suggested
that Mr. Wilson add an auxiliary engine to the traveller so
it would propel itself through the field. As noted above,
Mr. Wilson is using a tractor to move the spray head.
F. DEM sampling of the subject stream on August 22, 1991
reflected the following results:

totalled $ 860.32.
Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following:
II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: -
A. Sam Wilson is a "person" within the meaning of G.S.
143-215.6A pursuant to G.S. 143-212(4).
B. Sam Wilson operated a disposal system within the State
for purposes of G.S. 143-213(10), for which a permit is
required by G.S. 143-215.1.
C. The 3.8 mg/l downstream dissolved oxygen value
reflected in Finding of Fact F. above constituted a
violation of the 4.0 mg/l minimum instantaneous value
standard for dissolved oxygen found at 15A NCAC 2B
.0211(b)(3)(B), and established and adopted by the
Environmental Management Commission pursuant to G.S.
143-214.1.
D. Sam Wilson may be assessed civil penalties pursuant to
G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(1) & (2), which provide that a civil
penalty of not more than ten thousand dollars per violation
may be assessed against a person who, respectively, is
required but fails to apply for or to secure a permit
required by G.S. 143-215.1 or violates any standard
established pursuant to G.S. 143-214.1.
E. The cost to the State of investigation, inspections
monitoring surveys and enforcement procedures in this matter
may be assessed against Sam Wilson pursuant to G.S.
143-215.3(a)(9) and G.S. 143B-282.1(b)(8).

0 -3- 0
F. The Director, Division of Environmental Management,
pursuant to delegation provided for by G.S. 143-215.6A(h),
has the authority to assess civil penalties in this matter.
Based upon the above Findings of Fact and Conclusions of
Law, I make the following:
III. DECISION•
Sam Wilson is hereby assessed a civil penalty of:
$ 6200 for operating a disposal system
within the State without a permit.
$ (0 00 for violating the minimum
instantaneous value water quality
standard for dissolved oxygen found
at 15A NCAC 2B .0211(b)(3)(B).
$ 5Doo TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY, which is

authorized by G.S. 143-215.6A
$ 860.32 Cost to the State of investigation,
inspections, monitoring surveys and
enforcement procedures
$ 0 3 a TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of
the penalty I considered the factors set out in G.S.

site.
B. The inspectors met with Danny Wilson, son of Sam
Wilson. Danny Wilson indicated that liquid manure had been
sprayed on the fields all day on August 20, 1991. The
Wilsons' nozzle can spray 600 gallons per minute on the
fields. The spray head is moved every hour with a tractor.
According to Danny Wilson, the Wilsons observed that there
was runoff on August 20th, at which point a disc was taken
to the soil/manure in an attempt to prevent the manure from
reaching the stream.
C. The discharge of manure
574 fish by Wildlife Resources
of the costs involved is being
to the subject stream killed
Commission estimate; recovery
sought separately.
D. Pursuant to prior fish kills and numerous reports of
manure discharges to the stream (four of which were
documented since 1977), the Wilson Dairy Farm was designated
as a Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation on October 7,
1986.
E. In the interim, Mr. Sam Wilson had constructed a "catch
basin" at the toe of the drainage area per guidance of the

-2-
II.
Orange Soil Water Conservation District. At the time of
this incident said "catch basin" was primarily full of
solids and Mr. Sam Wilson indicated that it needed
excavation. Also, by letter dated November 4, 1986, Dr.
James Barker of the Agricultural Extension Service suggested
that Mr. Wilson add an auxiliary engine to the traveller so
it would propel itself through the field. As noted above,
Mr. Wilson is using a tractor to move the spray head.

BIOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF FISH -KILL
WATERS INVOLVED: Small tributary to Haw Creek
COUNTY: Alamance
DATE(S): 22 August to 23 August 1991
A. OBSERVATIONS REPORTED:
Eric Galamb from DEH contacted me at 1500 h. on 22 August 1991
and informed me there had been a fish kill on a small tributary to Haw
Creek near Mebane. He requested a fish pick up at that time.
Brad Hammers and myself proceeded to the site at about 1600 h.
We observed approximately 20 fish in a small pool below SR-2128, we
did not observe any fish above this road crossing. We proceeded along
the creek about 300 yards and observed another 10-15 fish. We then
went downstream to a bridge crossing on SR-1007. We did not observe
any dead fish below or above this bridge crossing. We concluded that
the kill took place somewhere between these two bridges. On a map, it
appeared that the distance was approximately 1/3 of a mile. We
decided a total pick up would be feasible.
At 0900h. on 23 August 1991 Brad and myself proceeded to the
site. We picked up all fish located between SR-2128 and SR-1007 (see
map). All fish were classified to species and measured. Fish
collection concluded about 1230 h. A summation of the data is
attached.
