Dear Mr. Wilson:
Enclosed you will find a copy of the Animal Waste Storage Pond and
Lagoon Closure Report form.
on March 26, 1998, you contacted a certified operator and began hauling
waste from your lagoon to start the process of closure. our office
monitored your progress throughout the process and feel confident that
all measures were taken to ensure proper application rates and clean -out
procedures were followed.
I visited the farm on April 30, 1998 and observed that the lagoon had
been cleaned of all sludge and bulldozers had graded the area to natural
conditions. Also, you were on the site preparing to seed all of the
disturbed (denuded) areas with fescue.
At this time, you have completed all of the required procedures for
closing the lagoon as stated in the last section of the attached -Report
Form."
As required by the Waste Management Plan, the fields that did not have
permanent vegetation (grasses) will be planted in corn. Please notify
our office when you have completed planting your crop so we can process
your request for cost -share funds.
Thank you for your cooperation on this matter. Please call if you have
any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Gail M. Hughes

Winston -Saner
Regional Office
The Orange Soil and Water Conservation District Board met on
May 21, 1996.
The Board discussed your request for cost -share assistance to
close your lagoon. As we have not had any previous requests
of this nature, the District wanted more information on how to
proceed on the actual closing of a lagoon. At the present
time, the District does not have funds available to share in
the cost of closing the lagoon. (We are at the end of our
fiscal year - June 30, 1996). More funds should be available
in late August or early September.
I encourage you to come by the office and sign an application
requesting cost -share assistance. The District staff and
Board will then be able to request additional funding for the
new fiscal year.
Meanwhile, the staff will be gathering information on how to
proceed with the closure of a lagoon.
Please keep in mind, until the lagoon can be pumped out and
properly closed, you are responsible for maintaining the
maximum liquid levels in the lagoon. It is our understanding
that if the lagoon overflows, the Division of Enviromental
Management (DEM) can find you in violation of water quality
standards.

Mr. Sam Wilson -2- 5/29/96
If you have any questions, you can reach me by calling the
District office - 732-8181, Ext. 2753.

SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Animal Waste Operation Inspection
Wilson Del Farm
Alamance County
Dear Mr. Wilson:
An inspection of the animal waste handling facilities at your
dairy operation was conducted by Jim Johnston, Beth Mortan and
Daphne Cartner of this Office on October 30, 1995. Specifically,
the inspection was conducted to determine the status of. your
compliance with Title 15 A, North Carolina Administrative Code 2H
.0200 regulations, which govern wastewater disposal systems which
do not discharge to surface waters of the State.
Animal waste management systems which comply with the .0200
regulations are "deemed permitted" by the Division, and thus, are
not required to apply for individual permits for operation. The
primary factor in assessing compliance with the regulations is
whether or not a discharge of pollutants occurs from the facilities
(in your case a lagoon) during any rain event less severe than a 25
year storm. A 25 year storm is a storm of such severity, that it
can statistically be expected to recur once every 25 years. A 25
year storm in Alamance County would amount to any rainfall 6 inches
or greater within a 24 hour period. You should be aware, however,
that because the weather data used to compile what is a 25 year
storm covers many years, it is possible to experience 25 year
storms on two consecutive days. Likewise, you could receive 5
inches of rain one day, and 5 inches the next, and neither would
constitute a 25 year storm, so you would -need at least 10 inches of
freeboard to prevent a discharge.
At the time of the inspection, it was noted that your lagoon
was full and spilling over the emergency spillway. The general
recommendation for lagoon operators is to maintain at least 18
inches of freeboard in a lagoon (1 foot plus the 6 inches from the
25 year storm). Thus, you should attempt to pump your lagoon

immediately since the liquid level is spilling over the low point
of your structure. In the future, steps should be taken to prevent
waste from building up to a point that it spills over.
Should you require technical assistance on how to handle the
wastewater generated from your operation, contact your local
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) office at (910) 226-
0477.
Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General
Statutes and Rules to discharge wastewater to the surface waters of
the State without a permit and/or to fail to follow a certified
waste management plan. The Division of Environmental Management
has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000
per day per violation.
Please respond to this Notice of Violation, in writing , no
later than January 9, 1996, as to what steps have been taken to
correct the above deficiency.

Sam Wilson Dairy Farm-Alamance County
A site visit on October 22. 1992 Indicated that this facility
appeared to be in compliance with BMPs and that no discharges were
evident at the farm. Mr. Wilson indicated that all pumping of animal
waste is continually manned. The lagoon had approximately 15" of
freeboard. Mr. Wilson was aware that it was time to pump the
lagoon before any spillage occurred. The lagoon was protected from
heavy rainfall inflow by berming along the edges. Generally, this
operation appeared to be very clean for a dairy operation.

MEMORANDUM
TO: R.W. Van Tilburg
FROM: Wally Sanford i
Jim Greer l /
SUBJECT: Fish Kill 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.

Raleigh, North Carolina 27611
Dear Mr. Wilms:
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.

BIOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF FISH -KILL
(Waters Involved) Haw Creek
County(ies) Alamance & Oran
Date(s): From 7/18 To 7/19/86
A. OBSERVATIONS REPORTED: I received notification of a fish kill in Haw Creek off
Mebane Oaks Road(SR-1007) near the 1�lamance and Orange County line from
Doug Flake, Area Sergeant for the Wildlife Resources Commission's District
5 area at 2115 hours on 17 July, 1986. Mr. Flake indicated that a variety
of fish species were observed dead by Mr. "_'ommv Hicks who lives next to
the creek. At.2130 hours, I called Mr. R.W. Van Tilburg whose with the
Raleigh Regional Office of Environmental 1`lanagement and informed him of
the kill. Mr. Tilburg informed me that Mr. Wally Sanford with the Water
Quality Section of Environmental `'anagement would inspect the kill site
during the night and. contact me the next morning.
I arrived at Haw Creek on 18 July, 1986 at 0830 hours and met with Mr.
Flake and Mr. Hicks. I then inspected the creek for 4 mile stretch above
SR-1007 and a mile stretch below. The creek was very turbid(black) and
appeared to be contaminated with livestock sewage(a poignant odor was
prevalent). Dead fish were mainly confined to a stretch of the creek
approximately 290-300 yards above and below the SR-1007 road crossing.
I then contacted Wally Sanford by phone to rerort my findings and to
learn if a fish pick-up would he required. After consultation with the
Winston-Salem Regional Office, Mr. Sanford. informed me that it nTould be
advisable to conduct a pick-up.
I then contacted Shari Lunardini, Assistant Fishery Biologist in District
5 and requested. that she bring the necessary equipment needed for the
fish kill assessment. A total fish plck-up was conducted by 4 Commission
personnel over a 2 hour period. Fish were then classified as to species,
inched classed and weighed. The dead fish were then transported .by
Commission personnel to the Alamance County landfill. The majority of
dead fish collected were bream and catfish species. Because fish were
still in distress downstream of SR-1007, I inspected Fp,aT Creek on 19 July,
1986 to see if an additional pick-up mould be necessary. I observed
approximately 40 more dead fish along a i mile stretch below the previous
dav's sample area. I included these fish in the data repo-ted based upon tY
known number and webight percentages from the Initial pick-up. I also
observed increased stream floe in the creek which was helping the water
quality. Apparently, Environmental Xar.agement had requested that frPsh-
wat,er be. romped into the tributary to increase dis^olvPd oxvaen levels.

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. My 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

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.

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. My 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.

Dear Sam:
I,am,forwaTding.* comments, and recommendations regarding'waete"management at,.
your' dairy farm.As..,a• follow up to,.our'yisit on October 29,, 1986.,
Regarding lagoon:management, I have two _auggeetions I would try:to put. the' .
manure so ids -separator back into operation to reduce .the amount of manure
solid e'entering ''the lagoon. This}would reduce ,the frequency,of.solids clean '
out.from-the lagoon 'and`reduce._th'e amount of -solids pumped`;through the `
irrigation'system. Secondly;. h would.;pump -the .,lagoon end;Jowei .it as, much as `
possible' -during the dryer periods when'f,ield conditions would .allow a higher
infiltration rate,in order to 'provide, more ;storage during ahe:rainy .peiioda.''
%:Otherwise, after evaluating, the alternatives', I believes'the 'system that you
have: is a manageable as any, both from a cost..and labor. standpoint.
Ttie'first thirivl'would do -regarding irrigation.would'be to Add the auxiliary'-,
engine to. th_ a traveller. :so it .would propel' itself throughthe :field'. This, . .
'wouldaliow a. more uniforiiapplication•rate, reducing *the likelihood of:rdnoff
during irrig4t•ign. 'Also the faster the traveller;forward 'speed, the•lower th'e it
application rate would be'. Lighter applications;would:-be„necessary forGwetter
soil'" -conditions. -'-If a• field appi'icition' ie an.'axbeolute must •'to. prevent' lagoon : s
over 164.'when soil moisture conditions are: near'satdretion, then I would`
prot+elily only irrigate onto -the. upper�haltf,of the field s[ fiery `light'ratee
As discussed during our, visit, SCS advice' should,,be sough,i'on whether ,or. not
contoured terracing of'the field••being.icrigatedywould b'a-feaeible. We have r
found', at -,other Land; app,: i:catton. ,si•tes' that';coneour terraces with minimal elope
`-to a'=grassed: waterway outlet.significantly'reducea;the'amount"of reinfahl
runoff from the lower edge.of the field.-.These-terracea provide temporary
storage'.of 'a significant amount of.-runoffotherwise:would `leave that field..
They also provide filtering;: in conjunction.with the grassed outlet,, of the
sediment and menace solids in.ihe.runoff.':Construction.of these'terraces would'' '•
be'e�lig'ible'.-for coat-sha'ring-under the North Carolius',AgricuItural Cost -Share

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:
1. 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:
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
an animal waste management system which will assure that discharges to
the surface waters do not occur. We know from past experience that
excellent advice with regards to managing animal waste may be obtained
from the North Carolina State University's Department of Biological and
Agricultural Engineering at [phone]. If you need any technical
assistance in this matter, I strongly suggest that you contact the
Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering.
Permit applications should be submitted, in duplicate, to the
Director, Division of Environmental Management, Post Office Box 27687,
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611. Assistance, if desired, can be obtained
by contacting Mr. Larry Coble, Regional Supervisor, North Carolina Depart-
ment of Environmental Management, Water Quality Section, 8025 North
Point Boulevard, Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27106, telephone (919)
761-2351. The applications should be accompanied by construction plans
for the non -discharging animal waste management system.

PREPARED BY: Jessica Moss Howell s
Environmental Technician V
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.

Concentrated Animal
Alamance
Report:
Dairy Farm
Feedlot Designation
County.
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

E
40
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.

P
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/l, 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.

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/1.
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

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

Dear Mx. Wils
Investigation Haw Creek
Alamance County . Mrs. Jessica Howels.
July 18th. 1986
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 " I AM SORRY" This was
and accident and I will tie 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 improvements
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 WRE runing down the stream.
Please let us #now about the outcome of this investigation.
Sincerely yours.,

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.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Millicovsky:
This is in response to your letter of July 18, 1986,
concerning a discharge of wastewater from a Dairy Farm operated by
Mr. Sam Wilson and located in your neighborhood. Our Raleigh
Regional Office is completing an investigation into the latest
incident of wastewater discharge. In addition, the Winston-Salem
Regional Office is developing the necessary administrative actions
to assure that Mr. Wilson installs adequate wastewater handling
facilities -to serve his dairy. As these modifications to the
waste handling facilities are put in place you. should see some
improvement in the operating methods of Mr. Wilson and a
significant reduction in the impact of his dairy farm operation on
Fork Creek. In order for you to keep abreast of our activities
with Mr. Wilson, I would recommend that you contact Mr. Larry
Coble from time to time at 919/761-2351 in Winston-Salem.
Thank you for your lett

Enclosed is a letter sent to you re-

that something should be done to prevent these
so-called accidents that seem to occur on a

Complaints against Mr. Wilson have been

We truly hope that this latest incident of

Thank you for your interest and attention

Enclosed Is a copy of data from samplas,colloctsd during an Investigation
performed by Jessica Hovellst, a Chemical Analyst with the Winston-Salem
Regional Office, an March 191, 1963. This data reveals water 4uslity violations
for fecal coliform as wall as extremely high values for Biochemical Oxygen
Demand (ROD) (despite tha high leval of Dlesolved Oxygen (D.O.) in the
water), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), total and 'suspended residue, aluminum,
mangansee, and mine.
Mrs. Howells spoke with Mr._ Sam Wilson".'who ague the dairy farm upstream
from the sampling site. He stated that, during the,operstion of hie spry
Irrigation system for'manure. approximately 10,000 gallons of tha,manure
solution accidently gained access to the creek. This occurred approximately
1 vVsk before the Investigation. This was very'probably the source of the
water quality violations In the creak. However, during the inspection
Of Mr. Wiisoa'm lagoon system and .waste handling operation, no runoff or
potential problems were observed by Mrs. Howells. At the time, it appeared
to be a well -maintained system. Mr. Wilson stated that the msnurw ran off
of Lis land while he was not watching the spray system. Re said that he
would be more cautious In the future..
We will closely monitor the stroaa and the dairy operation over the
forthcoming sentbo and will take appropriate action If it Is necessary.

Subject: lion -concentrated Designation
The Wilson Farm
Also mae County
This correspondence is in reform=* to a complaint concerning the Wilson
Farm in Alamance County which was received at the Borth Piedmont Piald Office
on April 12, 1977. The complaint concerned animl waste in a street.
Your facility was inspected by a member of my staff on April 12, 1977.
Your dairy operation has been designated as a non -concentrated aaimsl
feeding operation by the Director. Division of Environmental Management. An
such, a permit is not required.
The daalgnation of non -co neontrated animal feeding operation pertains to
the strum which boarders your property to the vast. The stream is an un-
named tributary to Haw Creek and parallels the Orange-Alaaance County line.
Our investigation show that holding lagoons have been installed to catch
any pollutant runoff from the ear's lounging area. The facilities seam to
have boon aimed to insure a non-disabarging system should the lagoons be
operated and maintained properly.
In order to achieve and maintain a eon -discharging system, it is re-
commended that the water level in year lagoon be lowered through controlled
irrigation each year before the ommet of inclement weather. Such action will
allow you to maintain at least two (2) fat of frooburd in the lagoon.

REPORT
Mr. M. W. Puette
Mr. Durwood Laughinghouse
Mr. Paul Traina
NC Agricultural Extension Services
In response to a complaint from a downstream property owner, an investigation was
conducted to determine the source of animal waste floating in a stream in Alamance
County. Subsequent investigations were necessary to prove a water quality violation
in that the Wilson Farm could not be classified as a concentrated animal feed lot operation.
The following information pertains to the investigations:
Part I. INSPECTION OF ANIMAL FEED LOT OPERATION
1. Directions to Site:
Direction to site where solids are in the stream -
I-85 to Mebane Oaks Exit. South on SR 1007 approximately 1.5 miles
to stream. The site is 600 feet upstream of the SR 1007 bridge over
the stream.
Direction to Wilson Brothers Farm -
I-85 to Mebane Oaks Exit. South on SR 1007 to SR 2128, east (left) on
SR 2128 for 1200 feet. The farm is located on the left.

Name: Raw Creek
Classification: Class "A -II"
Drainage Area: Greater than five square miles (field estimate)
Average Discharge: 2.8 CFS (field estimate)

Name: Tributary to Haw Creek
Classification: Class "A -II"
Drainage Area: Approximately 2.4 square miles
Average Discharge: 2.2 CFS
7Q10: 0.0 CFS
3. Discharge Coordinates:
Wilson Brothers Farm - Longitude: 79 15' 56"
Latitude: 36 03' 46"
Elevation: 578 feet
4. Topography:
Reference is made to the: Alamance County - Soil Survey
Series 1956, No. 9
United States Dept. of Agriculture
Soil Conservation Service - In cooperation
with the North Carolina Agricultural
Experiment Station
The majority of the land is classified D.6B - Davidson clay loam,
greatly sloping phase (2 - to 6 - percent slope) —
This soil occurs on smooth upland flats, normally between stream
breaks.
The surface soil is dark reddish -brown, friable clay loam that
has a moderate, fine, granular structure. The subsoil is dark -red,
firm clay with a medium to fine, subangular blocky structure.
Throughout the profile are black or brown concretions about 0.1
inch in diameter. In some areas the lower subsoil is somewhat
firmer than in other areas and resembles the lower subsoil of the
Mecklenburg soils. The horizons are barely discernible because of
their uniform texture and color. The depth of the soil over bed-
rock ranges from 4 to 20 feet.
Included with this soil are small, nearly level areas, which total
about 190 acres, and small, eroded gently sloping areas. These
inclusions are small and are similar to this soil. They are not
shown separately on the soil map.

F
This soil is moderately permeable and high in available water -holding
capacity. It contains a medium to high amount of organic matter and
has a medium to high capacity for storing plant food.
Use and management. -- Most of this soil is used for small grain,
pasture, hay, corn, soybeans, and vegetables. It is well suited to
these crops, but early vegetables grow slowly because this soil
warms late in spring. It is the best soil in the county for clover
or alfalfa. Because it is not susceptible to serve erosion, this soil
does not need exacting management. Crops should be grown in rotations
that have some close -growing crops. The soil needs to be cultivated on
the contour and limed and fertilized according to the results of soil
tests.
5. Farm Site:
A. The majority of the Wilson Farm utilized as a "feeding area" is
located 500 feet from the nearest flowing water. There is no
vegetation in the feed lot area whenever the animals are confined.
B. The area between the feeding area and the stream is heavy woods
and ground cover. The exception to the ground cover lies in the
extreme bottomland. Heavy rains have flushed animal waste to
the bottomland covering several hundred square feet. Slight
vegetation exists in this low -land area.
C. The milking parlor, lounging area, and feeding area are located
atop a gently sloping hill. Ample area exists for the installation
of holding -and hauling -facilities for the animal waste.
D. Mr. Wilson is presently milking 186 cows daily. During the site
evaluation, several cows and calves were noticed on the concreted
slat adjacent to the milking operation. --The total number of -
mature dairy cattle would not exceed 200 at the Wilson Brothers
Farm.
E. According to Mr. Sam Wilson, he has been engaged in gathering in-
formation on various types of solutions to the discharge. The
Orange County Soil Conservation Service has been requested by
Mr. Wilson, to aid in the design of a holding lagoon. Mr. Wilson
stated the holding lagoon could be installed within a 60-to-90
day period if conditions are favorable.
F. The Wilson'Brothers Farm has 45 acres located in Alamance County.
Adjacent to this is 200 acres in Orange County. The milking
operation and Mr. Sam Wilson's residence is located in Alamance
County while the majority of the pasture and farmland is located
in Orange County. Mr. Wilson has stated that, his agricultural
assistance, for the most part, is out of Orange County.

G. During the first week in June, 1977, Mr. Wilson had a contractor
perform considerable land clearing. The work was done in the
area between the milking parlor complex and the receiving stream.
6. Climatology:
The nearest location of collected data was the Burlington Filter Plant,
not more than 10 miles away. The following data are the yearly averages
from 1951 through 1960:

Part II DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED TREATMENT FACILITIES
Although definite plans and specifications are non-existent,
Mr. Wilson stated on April 27, 1977, his interest in installing a
solids storage area, a pre -settling basin, and a large liquid holding
pond.
The solids holding area would be of adequate size for a minimum of
7 days storage. The pre -settling basin would be constructed of
concrete to allow farm machinery to enter and remove the solids. A
plug would be installed to the lower base to allow for drainage, should
the need arrive. The liquid holding facility would have a capacity
around 300,000 gallons.
In checking with the "Dam Safety Act of 1967", the proposed liquid
holding lagoon might be of such magnitude that a Permit from the
Division of Earth Resources, would be required. A letter to this
extent along with a copy of the " Dam Safety Act of 1967", and Title
15 NCAC Chapter 2, Subchapter 2H, Section .0700 - Dam Safety Approvals-,
were forwarded to Mr. Wilson on May 4, 1977.
In a phone conversation with Mr. Wilson on May 5, 1977, the writer
learned the Orange County Soil Conservation Service would be designing
the holding lagoon for Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson also stated he did not
think the proposed lagoon would fall in the specifications requiring
a Permit. However, proper procedures would be followed.
The following few pages are the results gathered from the stream study
preformed on May 19, June 9, 13, and 17, 1977.
As a preliminary indicator and while in the area on routine sampling
inspection, Mr. Wilbur Christmas collected water samples at the Wilson
Farm on May 19, 1977. The results were as follows:
Location _ _D._.0. Fecal-Coliform
Upstream 7.2 510
Downstream 5.2 1100
SR2128
In that the Wilson Farm could not be designated a "concentrated animal
feeding operation" with respect to the stream in question, a study to
determine whether or not a water quality violation existed'due to the
discharge was necessary. The preliminary grab samples of May 19, 1977
indicated the possibility of a water quality violation. The results of
the additional studies follow.

m
�j

Part III Evaluation:
There are two streams which flow into the reservoir which
Mr. Millicovsky has constructed. The first parallels the Alamance-
Orange County line in Alamance County. The second stream originates
in Orange County and flows approximately 2000 feet in Alamance County
before entering the reservoir.
The stream which parallels the county line in Alamance County is
the stream in which the Wilson Dairy Farm has been discharging.
The discharge has occurred mainly during high intensity - or long
duration - rains.
The milking parlor and the concreted lounging area drains to the north
and then eastward across a 500 feet land mass, and then into the stream.
During heavy rains, animal waste particles are flushed into the stream.
The rapidly flowing waters wash the solids downstream to the headwaters
of Mr. Millicovsky's Reservoir.
Due to the lower velocity of the flowing waters in the reservoir,
the solids have a chance to settle out As the intensity of the water
flow through the reservoirs decreases, reduced oxygen transfer along
with accumulation of solids increases the degradation of the water
quality. The reduced water quality is in the form of lower dissolved
oxygen concentrations and higher floating solids. Fecal coliform
counts are also high at times.
The drainage basin for the stream under study was surveyed on June 9,
1977. There are no farming operations discharging to the stream.
Above the Wilson Dairy Farm are several housing developments, a golf
course, and wooded land.
Downstream of the "old" discharge point from the Wilson Dairy Farm and
below SR 2128 bridge is a tract of land which was used to pasture two
black angus.--The stream -distance from the "old" discharge point to
SR 2128 bridge is approximately 800 feet with no point source of
discharge. From the SR 2128 bridge to the headwaters of the reservoir
is approximately 1000 feet with no point source of discharge.
It can stated beyond any questionable doubt that the animal waste
entering the stream that parallels the Alamance-Orange County line in
Alamance County came from the dairy operation complex on the Wilson
Farm.
On or around the first of June, 1977, Mr. Wilson had a considerable
amount of land cleared. The cleared land existed between the milking
parlor complex and the receiving stream. In doing so, one of the
results was the water course from the milking parlor to the stream was
eliminated. However, a defined route will be re-established once
heavy rainfall reoccurs in the area.

According to the USGS Map (C 21 SE), the name of the stream network
is known as Haw Creek. Cross referencing several streams in that
area with the States -Stream Classification Index (Title 15 NCAC,
Chapter 2, Subchapter 2B, Section .0311, April 1, 1977), the Haw
Creek has a classification of Class A -II.
Title 15 NCAC, Chapter 2, Subchapter 2B, Section .0211 (c) (3) out-
lines the water quality characteristics pertinent to Class A -II
waters. Sub -section (A) and (G) of the stated guideline is hereby
quoted: "
(A) floating solids; settleable solids; sludge deposits:
only such amounts attributable to sewage, industrial
wastes or other wastes as will not, after reasonable
opportunity for dilution and mixture of same with the
receiving waters, make the waters unsafe or unsuitable
as a source of water supply for drinking, culinary, or
food -processing purposes, injurious to fish and wildlife,
or impair the waters for any other best usage established
for this class.
(G) dissolved oxygen: not less than 6.0 mg/l for trout waters;
for non -trout waters, not less than a daily average of 5.0
mg/l with a minimum instantaneous value of not less than
4.0 mg/l; swamp waters may have lower values if caused by
natural conditions.
As it has been shown in this report and through the slides taken,
severe water quality conditions exist at times in the reservoir.
However, the water quality violations do not start at the upper
headwaters of the reservoir. The dissolved oxygen concentrations
start to drop immediately below the 'old" discharge point. The full
impact of the discharge is felt in the reservoir.
It -seems to the writer -that the only way to protect the water quality
in the stream under consideration is to eliminate any discharge coming
from the Wilson Dairy Operation Complex.
From the site visit, the discharge can be eliminated in one of two
ways.
First: Provide a complete shelter for the lounging area with
all the rainfall diverted away from the contact of any
animal waste.
Secondly: Install a holding lagoon which would provide adequate
storage for the rainfall runoff.
Each system would require special attention and considerations. The
final decision as to what system to utilize, or another consideration
not mentioned, would rest upon the responsible parties for the Wilson
Dairy Farm.

In a phone conversation with Mrs. Wilson on July 15, 1977, the
writer learned that a farm pond has been installed between the
milking parlor complex and the stream which has been under study.
According to Mrs. Wilson, the contractor completed the project and
pulled off the job site the first part of the week. (The week of
July 10, 1977)
An inspection of the site and retaining pond has been set for July 25,
at 3 p.m.

SUBJECT: Wilson Farm, Alamance County
North Piedmont Field Office
June 20, 1977
Another inspection was conducted on that portion of tributary paralleling
the Alamance-Orange County line in Alamance County where the Wilson Farm dis-
charges. This insotction was done on June 17, 1977 under the instruction of
Russell Radford.
I had a considerable amount of trouble with the D.O. meter. Therefore,
all D.O.'s were performed using the Winkler Method.
Readings were as follows:
100 ft. upstream of "old" discharge point @ 8*6 P.P.M.
100 ft. downstream of "old" discharge point @ 7*2 P.P.M.
SR # 2128 Bridge @ 5.4 P.P.M.
Headwaters of Millicovsky's Reservoir @ 02 P.P.M.
The segment of stream of Millicovsky's Reservoir was completely covered with
solids for a length greater than 100 feet. However, there has been no discharge
from the Wilson Farm in over 3 weeks.
From all appearances, the solids on the bottom are starting to break down rapidly.
Solids are being brought to the surface through gas production.
There has been no significant rainfall in the area for over 3 weeks.

Farm, operation and in determining a.,metho4'for resolving the :problem: Mr. Russell"Rad-
ford's letter to you dated June 39-1977, provided you with a'haii6 outline of the
General Statutes-under.which this agency,may proceed in.this matter. i From a legal
standpoint, the Wilson Brothers Farm cannot be constituted as a "concentrated animal
feeding lot" under either North Carolina or Federal regulations since there are less
than 300 animal units located on the farm and therp,js,,,no,,direct discharge through a
manmade conveyance to the surface waters' On the other Hand; as pd ift6d out-i h-
Mr. Radford's notes to file concerning Wilson Farms Alamance County, enclosed herewith,
it has been definitely established that water quality standards are being violated as
a result of present and past discharges from the Wilson Brothers Fam.,operation. There
is, therefore* a basis for requiring corrective action at this location. As you pointed
out in your letter to Mr. Radford dated May 20 1977, Mr. Sam Wilson was advised on the
initial visit that adequate pollution control measures would have to be taken to insure
that water quality standards not be violated. On that occasion and according to
.".Mr. Radford on occasions since that time, Mr. Wilson has exhibited a very cooperative
attitude and.-haklIndicated that he is proceeding to take such actions as are necessary
to prevent fur - ther discharges to the surface waters. Mr. Wilson does states however#
that a sufficient period of time to allow construction is needed.

!Mr. Millicovsky
/ 'Page Two
June 15, 1977
In Mr. Radford's letter to you, dated June 3, 1977. he advised that additional
stream monitoring work would be conducted and a formal report concerning this matter
would be prepared. It is doubtful that this report will be available before the
middle or latter part of July since the field works laboratory work, and report
preparation will require at least forty-five (45) days. In the meantime, staff mem-
bers of the North .Piedmont Field Office will continue to work closely with Mr. Wilson
to assure that reasonable progress is made toward eliminating'the problem.
In reviewing Mr. Radford's notes to file concerning'Wilson Farm''you will see
that substantial sludge deposits apparently, as a result of animal waste discharges.
have settled in the bottom of the creek and in the upper portion of your reservoir.
Even with no additional wastewater being discharged to the reservoirs a reasonable
amount of time will be required for these materials to stabilize and for your.reser-
voir to return to norr•;al.
While I cannot give you an exact date by which the problem will be completely
resolved. I.have been advised that I1r. Nilson has moved the livestock to another area
of his farming operation and that this may result in some immediate improvement.
Please be'assured that vie have not taken your complaint concerning this matter
lightly. As previously stated, a considerable amount of time has been spent in
measuring the extent of the problem and in trying to effect a sollution to the.pro-
blem. We will continue to pursue this clatter until a satisfactory result is accom-
plished. My personal apologies to you for failure of our staff members to keep you
adequately informed with respect to the status oi' the investigation. By copy of this
letter, I am directing that Mr. Radford provide you with frequent informal reports of
the status and to provide you with basic data as it becomes availahle.
If you need further explanation concerning this natter, do not hesitate to con-
tact me.

8MMCT1 Status Report on the Millicovsky Complaint
Alamsnce County
The North Piedmont Field Office (la'PO) became aware of Mr. Milliaovsky's
problem between 8 and 10 a.m. the morning of April 12. 1977. Mr. MillicovsiW
called Mr. Russell Radford, Regional Engineer. NPPO, and stated large amounts of
animal waste solids were entering his newly constructed reservoir by way of the
Wilson Dairy Farm.
While on his way to Raleigh for an afternoon conference, Mr. Dick Caspar
of the NPFO, stopped by Mr. Millicovsky's residence to make a preliminary site
Investigation. Mr. J. Wilson was also contacted and the dairy operation rapidly
reviewed.
Two phone calls were placed to the Millicovoky residence to inform him of the
programs being made by the NPFO. The first on April 20, 1977 and the second
around April 25, 1977. Both times Mr. Millicovsky was not at home. A message was
left on the latter date.
On April 27, 1977, the Wilson farm was revisited by Mr. Caspar and the Alamence
County Agricultural Extension Agent, Mr. Howard Dolton. During this visit, the
operation was observed in greater detail. Mr. Sam Wilson, co-owner of the farm,
stated his plans and intensions on eliminating the descharge.
A latter was received at the NPPO on May 3. 1977 from Mr. Millicovsky re-
questing the status on his problem with regards to our office. A reply was for-
warded on May 9. 1977. In short the reply letter to Mr. Millicovsky stated that
our investigation was completed and that he (Mr. Millicovsky) should be receiving
a copy of our findings within tan (10) days. However, it was discovered that the
Federal Register's discription of a "concentrated animal feeding operation" was
misiaterpmsted by the investigating engineer. This fact was brought to light by
the regiooal engineer after the report was prepared for shipment to Raleigh.

Sample.results on fecal coliform taken on May 19, 1977, were learned by the
staff of the NPFO on May 26. 1977, the sas day Mr. Millicovsky called Mr. Radford.
The results showed a definate water quality violation. Therefore, an intensive
survey of the stream was scheduled for the week of June 7, 1977. Due to an
emergency episode, the survey was not initiated until June 9, 1977. The stream
survey included the followings
Fecal Coliform
Dissolved Oxygen
Pictures
Visual Observations
Fecal coliform samples were also taken on June 13, 1977, on the stream@
polluting the Millicovsky Reservoir.
_._._.._:_A..Einai-report will be prepared and forwarded as soon as all the data can be
collected and analysed concerning the water quality of the stream entering
Mr. Millicovsky's reservoir. The primary time factor in the report will be
dependent upon the sample analysis results being returned from the laboratory.

Dear Mr. Millicovsky:
This letter is to inform you of the, status of our investigation on the Wilson

(i) "poll.iit�nts .ai.acliared directly into navi.:•shla waters which

come into direct contact with the animals confined in the operation.
The definition of "mnn-made" as defined in 41 C717 (Code of Federal Register)
124, Section 124.32 (a)(4) means "constructed by man and used for the purpose of
transporting wastes." The discharge from the Wilson Farm is not made to the stream
by way of a man-made ditch, flushing system or other similar man-made devices.
Condition "b" is non -applicable due to the fact the nearbv stream does not come
into direct contact with the animals confined in the operation.
Therefore, according to State- and Federal -regulations concerning animal
feeding operations and concentrated animal feeding operation, the Wilson Farm
cannot be brought under permitting requirements. However, the receiving stream's
water quality standards must be maintained.
