On November 28, 2016, the Director of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) assessed a civil

Garland McCollum agrees to pay the civil penalty and overdue annual fees totaling $933.00
according to the schedule below as full settlement of Case No. PC-2016-0076.
Garland McCollum understands that any default in payment or failure to submit payment by the
day of the month in which payment is due will result in the immediate referral of this case to the Attorney
General's Office for collection through the courts. Garland McCollum also acknowledges that DWR
reserves the right to take enforcement action for future violations within its authority should they occur.

Subject: RE: Permit Renewal for AWI760065 Randolph Packing
Great, I will draft a payment plan, $180/month. I have discussed the case with Christine and JR. The reason the farm was not
allowed to change to zero animal permit was because of the unpaid fee issue. Once he sign and return the payment plan
with his first payment, we can grant him zero animal permit. This has to be done as soon as possible because the next bill
will be in May.

Regarding the McCollum farm, I propose putting him on a schedule to pay the $900 owed in fees. After that, the zero animal
permit can be drafted. Miressa, would you facilitate the "payment" plan for the $900? If so, I will call Mr. McCollum and let
his know what the process will be.

Melissa,
1. Have them fill out this application and include a summary statement as to how they dispose of the waste and
whether they still have the fields listed on the permit available. Yes, they did submit a plan in 2002. They can attest
that nothing has changed. I will include that plan with this package then.
2. 1 still have a couple of incomplete/waiting packages form WSRO. Cole-Gaige Farm sent a waste plan with expanded
numbers but no application or request to do so. I email Leigh Calloway with the blank application. But nothing is
here yet.
3. 1 have a waste structure plan from Sam Bingham for the Shady Grove Farm ( 99-12) expansion but no application or
waste plan yet. I have been waiting for this for a long time...
4. I guess you already are working with Miressa on the garland McCollum Farm. I think the consensus at the time of
the site visit you, Christine, and I did was to have them pay back fees before we could consider the zero animal
permit ? I have heard anything from them or anyone else. I will be glad to draft a permit once I get a go ahead.
Too many items for you today but just wanted to summarize for both you and I ...

Miressa,
See the attached documents regarding Mr. Mc Collum's request and my emails to CO. I think Christine sent him an Individual
Permit application but that did not apply to him in my opinion. Just to reiterate, Mr. Mc Collum stated to that he would pay
the $900 due for unpaid permit fees if he could make monthly payments. Your assistance would be appreciated.

Massey Creek Farms
Re: Zero Animal Permit
Ms. Watts:
I am requesting a zero animal permit for Massey Creek Farms (79-2). We have not operated this
facility since 2oo8. Two of the 6 buildings are destroyed, the other 4 have been repurposed for hay
storage, shelter and fodder production. Flush tanks have been removed and flush pits and pipes to
the first stage lagoon have been sealed. Lagoons still exist and are monitored, but nothing other than
the rain that falls has entered them since 2oo8 and nothing has been pumped out during that time
period. I still have the ability to apply if needed, but that has not been an issue so far. The last water
sample was N=.017, taken in 2oo8. There are currently no funds available to close these lagoons even
with cost sharing. My only option is to continue to monitor. The lagoons themselves are in good
shape and are being maintained.
Sincerely,
Garland McCollum

C and J,
I need help with this one. He's in personal bankruptcy but the farm is tied in as well. Continuing to send NOVs for failure
to pay permit fee and OIC fee will not solve anything. Permit and OIC certification have lapsed a few years ago. Has not
been above threshold nor had any waste going into the lagoons since February 2009. Zero animal permit? He'd have to
meet NRCS standards if he came back now anyway. Individual permit? He raises about 25 pigs on pasture/lots (plus
sheep and chickens/eggs) for niche markets (restaurants mostly). Suggestions on proceeding? See attached inspection.
Thanks,
Melissa

On November 28, 2016, the Director of Division of Water Resources (DWR) assessed a civil penalty

the assessment. The Division has the certified mail green card that shows you received the Final Agency
Decision on December 17, 2016.
This letter serves as final notice that the Division will proceed to refer your case to the North Carolina
Attorney General's Office unless payment of this civil penalty and fees are received within 10 days of
your receipt of this notice, the North Carolina Attorney General's Office will seek collection through the
courts.

Thanks, Melissa, for organizing the tour. It was very beneficial to be out there on the site Friday.
Enclosed please find a copy of the " State Individual Permit" application. Mr. McCollum will need to fill this out and
submit along with his waste utilization plan written by a technical specialist for the correct animal numbers and
operation type of his facility.
There is no annual fee for an operations smaller than 38,500 Ibs steady state live weight (SSLW).
The following table can be used to determine the operation type and animal numbers.

C and 1,
I need help with this one. He's in personal bankruptcy but the farm is tied in as well. Continuing to send NOVs for failure
to pay permit fee and OIC fee will not solve anything. Permit and OIC certification have lapsed a few years ago. Has not
been above threshold nor had any waste going into the lagoons since February 2009. Zero animal permit? He'd have to
meet NRCS standards if he came back now anyway. Individual permit? He raises about 25 pigs on pasture/lots (plus
sheep and chickens/eggs) for niche markets (restaurants mostly). Suggestions on proceeding? See attached inspection.
Thanks,
Melissa

Massey Creek Farms
Re: Zero Animal Permit
Ms. Watts:
I am requesting a zero animal permit for Massey Creek Farms (79-2). We have not operated this
facility since 2oo8. Two of the 6 buildings are destroyed, the other 4 have been repurposed for hay
storage, shelter and fodder production. Flush tanks have been removed and flush pits and pipes to
the first stage lagoon have been sealed. Lagoons still exist and are monitored, but nothing other than
the rain that falls has entered them since 2oo8 and nothing has been pumped out during that time
period. I still have the ability to apply if needed, but that has not been an issue so far. The last water
sample was N=.017, taken in 20o8. There are currently no funds available to close these lagoons even
with cost sharing. My only option is to continue to monitor. The lagoons themselves are in good
shape and are being maintained.
Sincerely,
Garland McCollum

Re: Notice of Deficiency- NOD-2014-OP-0022
Failure to Apply for Renewal of Expiring State General Permit
Permit #: AWS790002
Rockingham County
Dear Garland McCollum:
Your facility was approved for operation under one of the Animal Waste Operation State Non -Discharge
General Permits, which expired on September 30, 2014.
The State Non -Discharge General Permit, Condition V.9 states:
`If the Permittee wishes to continue an activity regulated by this General Permit after the
expiration date of this General Permit, the Permittee must apply for and obtain a new COC.
Renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the General
Permit.'
In order to assure your continued coverage under the State Non -Discharge General Permits, the Division
of Water Resources (DWR) sent you a reminder to submit an application for permit coverage to the
Division in a letter written on March 3, 2014. However, our records indicate that the Division has not
received an application form from your facility. The form was due April 1, 2014. To avoid possible
enforcement action for a violation of your permit, please submit your application within thirty (30) days
of receipt of this letter to the following address:
NCDENR—DWR
Animal Feeding Operations Program
1636 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1636
Telephone number: [phone]
Enclosed you will find a "Request for Certificate of Coverage Facility Currently Covered by an Expiring
State Non -Discharge General Permit." The application form must be completed, signed and returned to
DWR with one (1) copy of your most recent Waste Utilization Plan along with the field maps.

1. If your facility Oer built, please indicate so on the ap*n and request to be removed
from the permitted list.
2. If your facility is depopulated and you are waiting to close the lagoon, please send a separate
letter requesting a "zero animals" permit until such time as the lagoons are properly closed
according to the NRCS standards and the permit is rescinded.
Failure to request renewal of your coverage under a general permit within the time period specified may
result in a civil penalty. Operation of your facility without coverage under a valid general permit would
constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessments of civil penalties of up to
$25,000 per day.
If you have any questions about the State Non -Discharge General Permits, the enclosed application, or
any related matter please feel free to contact the Animal Feeding Operations Program staff at 919-807-

If your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) has been developed based on site -specific information, careful
evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current WUP is inaccurate
you will need to have a new WUP developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Per 15A NCAC 2T .0105(h) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100-foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the
General Permit, then an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual permit by contacting the Animal Feeding Operations Unit for information on this
process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.
In accordance with Condition II.22 of the General Permit, waste application shall cease within four (4)
hours of the time that the National Weather Service issues a Hurricane Warning, Tropical Storm Warning,
or a Flood Watch associated with a tropical system for the county in which the facility is located. You
may find detailed watch/warning information for your county by calling the Blacksburg/Roanoke, VA

Ninth Senate Bill (SB) 1217 Interagency Group Guidance Document
September 25, 2009
In an effort to address questions from technical specialists and provide uniform interpretations to
technical specialists regarding the requirements of the animal waste management rules, the 1996 session
of the General Assembly created an interagency committee. The SB 1217 Interagency Group consists of
two (2) representatives from each of the following agencies: the Division of Soil and Water
Conservation (DSWC); the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), the Department of Agriculture
(NCDA&CS); and Cooperative Extension Service (NCCES), and the Natural Resources Conservation
Service (MRCS), United States Department of Agriculture.
The foundation for this Guidance Document is the previous Guidance Documents developed by the
agencies represented on SB 1217 dated June 20, 1995, May 3, 1996, August 9, 1996, January 2, 1997,
May 21, 1997, August 18, 1997, the Sixth Guidance Memo, Revision One (January 8, 1998), Revision
Two (August 25, 1998), Revision Three (October 29, 1998), Revision Four (April 12, 1998), Revision
Five (January 12, 2000), the Seventh Guidance Memo (January 9, 2001), Revision One (March 26,
2003), Revision Two (June 30, 2003), and the Eighth Guidance Memo (April 20, 2007). The committee
adopted these documents as the foundation for this and future guidance documents. Outdated items
were deleted or brought to current status. While much of the guidance provided was contained in
previous Guidance Documents, the new guidance is noted by bold type and underlined.
This guidance is intended to address the common issues involved in implementing the animal waste
management rules and statutes. Additional guidance will be provided as necessary to continue to clarify
the issues contained in this memorandum as well as new issues that may arise. The nature of the rules
will require judgment on the part of technical specialists.
Guidance developed by the SB 1217 Interagency Group represent guidelines to address questions from
technical specialists and provides uniform interpretations regardingrequirements of animal waste
management rules. However, for areas where no standards exist, DWQ acknowledges these guidelines as
acceptable criteria to base a Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). Any requested
deviations from this guidance must be considered by D WQ on a case-bv case basis to insure that the
proposal provides equal or better protection. These guidelines may also be incorporated by DWQ as
permit conditions for an operation's individual permit or general permit.

Only a technical specialist who has been designated under the SWCC rules can certify items on the form.
In order to sign for an item, the technical specialist must have the corresponding category of designation
(Appendix 2.513).
Proper calibration of irrigation equipment shall be documented. The field calibration must show
accurate rates of application. For irrigation equipment, application rates must be measured at several
locations in the application area. For calibration information see NC Publication Field Calibration
Procedures for Stationary AG-553-1, Traveler AG-553-2, and Center Pivots & Linear AG-553-3.
New "non -irrigation" waste application equipment does not require certification by an irrigation (I)
technical specialist designation under 11 D, of the CAWMP Certification form. A WUP may certify
manure spreader and honey wagon equipment.
With the requirements of regulations, it is very important to track the dates each part of the certification
process was completed. The certification form was modified to document the date the activity was
completed. The current date should continue to be the date the form is signed.
0* 2.6 Abandonment
If a facility is abandoned or unused for four years or more, regardless of its certification or permit status,
the farm will be considered a "new" facility for permitting purposes and the operation would have to
meet all permitting requirements before it could be restocked.
Questions regarding active registration by producers who depopulated usually involve distinction
between "existing" and "new" systems. 15A NCAC 2T .1302(3) (formerly 2H. 0203(21)) defines a
"new" animal waste management system as follows:
...animal waste management systems which are constructed and operated at a site where
no feedlot existed previously or where a system serving a feedlot has been abandoned or
unused for a period of four years or more and is then put back into service. (For
purposes of this referenced rule, "abandoned" and "unused" are interchangeable, meaning
ceasing to exist.)
Therefore, an operation will lose its "existing" status and be considered a "new" operation if unused for
four or more years. In order to determine the proper categorization as an "existing" or ` new arm,
DWQ uses the following operating guideline of 10% of the registered number (capacity) in making this
determination, and the rule is being applied as follows:
`Unused' means less than 10% of the registered number of animals or less than 10% of
the number of animals at system capacity have been on site. Furthermore, consistent with
the EPA definition of an "animal feeding operation", the requisite number of animals
must be shown by the operator to have been on site for a total 45 days or more within any
12-month period, or the feedlot will be considered unused for that year.
lumber less than 10% is a de minimis attempted use which would not be generally covered by the
or intent of t e ru e; owever, a producer is a owe to Teri to DWQ that his system a een
in or er ore am a opera on's "existing" status.
2-3

N N
For swine farms located within the 100 year floodplain, those swine farms which applied for the first or
second phase of the 100 year floodplain swine farm buyout conducted by the DENR Division of Soil and
Water Conservation shall not begin to be considered to be "unused" until the farm has been informed
that its applications for buyout were denied, provided the farm maintained the required permits.
If an operator needs to verify the farm's "existing" status or correct his/her registration number in the
state database, he or she must submit a written request to DWQ for the correction including justification
for the change. The producer must also submit documentation of the existing herd numbers and dates the
animals were housed at the facility as found through market or production records and/or verification by
a government agency official familiar with the operation.
Questions should be directed to the DWQ Animal Feeding Operations Unit at [phone], with
correction requests submitted to the Division of Water Quality - Animal Feeding Operations Unit, 1636
Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1636.
2.7 Separate Ownership with Common Waste Facilities
Operations shall not share common spray fields and/or waste management systems (other than land
application equipment) unless they are certified and permitted as one operation under the same
ownership.
2.8 Irrigation Systems for New or Expanding Operations
Effective September 1, 1996 NRCS standards require irrigation design plans as part of the waste
utilization standard for new and expanding systems. Detailed irrigation plans such as size of nozzles,
operating pressures, etc, shall be part of the certification process. While this same level of design is not
required for existing systems, the waste utilization standard does require the waste to be applied
uniformly at approved rates and volumes to prevent runoff. It is the responsibility of the owner to
provide a system to meet these conditions and to verify the availability of the equipment, land and
vegetation.
2.9 Irrigation Certification of Existing Systems
Even though a technical specialist did not design the irrigation system, a technical specialist shall certify
that the existing equipment is capable of applying waste to meet requirements of the CAWMP
certification form (Appendix 2.5A - Section II D.), and the equipment is available to use on site
(Appendix 2.5A - Section III D.).
2.10 Application and Handling Equipment Certification
A producer must own, have access to, lease or otherwise have a written agreement with a custom
applicator for waste application equipment to obtain a CAWMP.

SUBJECT: Swine Regulations
Facility #79-02, Permit Number AWS790002
Rockingham County
Dear Mr. McCollum:
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
This letter is to outline, per your request, some of the North Carolina regulations associated with your
Swine Waste Management System General Permit. Specifically, I will try to address your questions
regarding change of ownership, lagoon closure requirements, and issues regarding an inactive versus
active facility. For additional requirements please refer to your permit.
Certificate of Covera eg (COC), General Permit (permit) and Certified Animal Waste Mana eg ment
Plan (CAWMP)
The COC and CAWMP are incorporated by reference into the permit. Any violation of the COC or the
CAWMP is considered a violation of the permit (Section I.3.). Please note that anyone who fails to act
in accordance with the permit is also in violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A(a)(2).
Additionally, the owner of an animal waste management system is subject to all permit requirements
until the lagoon is closed per Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) standards. After
closure, the Permittee may request, in writing, to have their permit rescinded. The Division must
receive notification at least 24 hours prior to starting closure activities (Section V.3.).
The COC is not transferable. If there is a change of ownership, a Notification of Change of Ownership
Form (attached) must be submitted to the Division, including documentation from the parties involved
and any other supporting materials as may be appropriate. The request is to be submitted within 60
days of change of ownership. The request is considered on its own merits and may or may not be
approved (Section V.7.). However, in my experience, this has not been a problem. '
The answer to your question regarding an active versus inactive farm is found in 15A North Carolina
Administrative Code 02T .1302(3) which states that a "New animal waste management system means
animal waste management systems which are constructed and operated at a site where no feedlot
existed previously or where a system serving a feedlot has been abandoned or unused for a period of
four years or more and is then put back into service." A new system would have to meet current

NRCS standards before animals could be re -stocked. Currently new swine farms are only permitted as
utilizing an innovative design.
And from items 1 and 2 of Section V.I.: "The failure to abide by the conditions and limitations
contained in the permit, COC, CAWMP, and/or applicable state law may subject the Permittee to an
enforcement action. Additionally, the Permittee must comply with all conditions of this General.
permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of state law and is grounds for enforcement
action...."
Operator in Charge (OIC)
"The Permittee shall designate a certified animal waste management system operator with a valid
certification to be in charge of the animal waste management system. The waste management system
shall be operated by the OIC or a person under the OIC's supervision." Section II.16.
Handling of Waste
"The facility must have at least one of the following items at all times: (a) adequate animal waste
application and handling equipment, (b) a lease, or other written agreement, for the use of the
necessary equipment, or (c) a contract with a third party applicator capable of providing adequate
waste application." Section II 15.
Swine on Lots
"The swine may not be confined within 100 feet of an adjacent surface water or a seasonally —flooded
area." Section I.9.
Thank you for the opportunity to be of assistance. Should you have questions or need further
explanation, please feel free to contact me at melissa.rosebrock(a,ncdenr.gov or [phone].

Kevin,
If I'm reading the Gra-Mac design correctly, Pulls 2 and 5 are only 75 feet from surface waters (Massy Creek -class WSIV).
This water body is a water supply ... which in my mind makes it an environmental risk. Info regarding the dam height on
the secondary lagoon may also increase the risk, however, our files do not contain the lagoon design data. Do you have
it Kevin? Michelle, what other kinds of info would you need?
From our web page:
Water Supply IV (WS-IV)
Waters used as sources of water supply for drinking, culinary, or food processing purposes where a WS-I, II or III
classification is not feasible. These waters are also protected for Class C uses. WS-IV waters are generally in
moderately to highly developed watersheds or Protected Areas. More information: Water Supply Watershed
Protection Program Homepage
Class C

N 00 ,
Waters protected for uses such as secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish consumption, aquatic life incl68ing
propagation, survival and maintenance of biological integrity, and agriculture. Secondary recreation includes
wading, boating, and other uses involving human body contact with water where such activities take place in an
infrequent:, unorganized, or incidental manner.

Hey Melissa and Kevin,
From the Foundation's perspective we will fund a lagoon if it is an environmental risk and ranks high. It does not matter
who paid to install it. Right now our project requests are about equal with funds available, so we have not turned any
projects away in recent years. Some projects have not been completed because the finances did not work or for some
other technical issue.
We only pay up to 75% of actual costs based on receipt not to exceed $50,000 per lagoon. In some instances the
Foundation Board has considered a higher cap, but it has to be an extreme environmental situation such as being
located in a water supply watershed, in the 100 year flood plain, or an older lagoon suspected of leaching into the
groundwater. It would bean even rarer situation when they would consider funding more than 75% of the actual cost.
know of one situation where the wife was terminally ill and the husband was disabled, the Foundation Board allowed a
90% cost share in that situation. I am not sure they would view bankruptcy in a similar manner. Depending on the cost
of the project and the structure of the business, this may need to be part of the bankruptcy settlement and there may
not be enough time to fold in the cost.
Since funding is an issue in this situation I also want to bring to your attention that it takes 60 to 90 days to process a
payment (if District submits by 1" of month) because there are several internal steps on the funder's end that have to
occur prior to releasing funds.
If this is a project that the board can support and other funds are used to cover at least 25% of the actual costs, the
Foundation will consider the project. I would want the District Board to make sure they have strong assurances, likely in
writing, that the owner will follow through on their end of the closure costs. If the owner is in a position of being able to
do part of the closure activities on their own, they may be able to come up with the 25% cost through in -kind
contributions. Without knowing more details I can't determine if in -kind work is a realistic possibility.

Our Current request for proposa*February 14, but we can accept appli"at any point. We do a call for
proposals to spur on submittal of projects from the districts. I can work on the timing end with Kevin if the District
Board decides to move forward.
Let me know if you need more information at this time. Melissa, feel free to let landowners know that this is another
avenue to help fund closure costs and that their point of contact for applying for these funds should be their local
district. We have funds on hand until 2016 at this point.

Melissa,
I have adivsed Garland (in times past) about our services to close if desired. I do remember some caviat about
if the lagoons were cost shared for construction then no money would be avail. for taking down. That would
have been the ag cost share program at the time.
What do you think Michelle? We cost shared for both lagoons on this farm for construction +10 years ago.

It would go through the county district office similar to the cost -share program, and it still has the 25% match

Hey folks:
I'm sending a copy of the most recent inspection in the hopes that you/we can work together to find a solution
to this situation.
The farm was originally permitted as a confined swine operation for 1205 farrow to wean. Since 2009, swine
numbers have ranged 30-90 (various sizes).
Somewhere around 2009 the farm got out of the confined pig business (did not part on good terms w/ the
integrator -lawsuit) and started raising pastured pigs, goats, layers (eggs), and sheep. They now deliver to select
grocery stores and restaurants in the Triad.
The business is doing ok but Mr. McCollum (himself) is now in Ch. 12 bankruptcy which is expected to take 18
months. There was a court date scheduled for December that got moved to January.
There has been no waste entering the lagoons since about 2009 since all animals are on lots ---with no on -site
environmental issues that I can find. There are several other concerns however:
1) The permit fee has not been paid for 2011, 2012, and 2013
2) Mr. McCollum's OIC designation was voided in 2011 and the farm has not had a valid OIC
since that time. He did attend a 6 hour renewal training in 2012 however.
3) He has had to sell 225 acres to raise some cash. Some of this 225 acres is land that is in his
WUP (set aside for slurry tank and/or sludge ), but NOT land that is used for irrigation.

Are any of you aware of ANY sourc`ey'I6r closing the two lagoons? Mr. M11% may not be able to come -tip
with his 25%... but I'm just guessing. Christine ---please advise how to proceed with this one from a compliance
standpoint.
Thanks for your input and assistance,
Melissa

Subject: RE: New Year, New Overdue List !
Hello All,
Enclosed please find the latest fee overdue list. As before, I would like your help in getting these invoices paid.
A few things to remember:
1. These lists are being produced monthly now. The next list will be pulled May 1".
2. Only the facilities with fees overdue for> 60 days will be included in these lists. Hence, the shorter list this time.
3. Since these facilities have already gotten two letters (initial invoice and a reminder letter), we will start issuing NOVs
right away. I plan to wait at least two weeks before actually issuing the NOVs. Would definitely appreciate your help in
shortening the NOV list.
4. Questions about these invoices/payments should be directed to:

Please ignore those that are expired and those that may have been double billed (ex: AW1510016). Also, please let me

Dear Mr. McCollum:
Resources
Dee Freeman
Secretary
This Notice is to follow-up on a routine compliance inspection conducted by Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) staff on June 16, 2010. While most animal waste management activities
and records were in good condition, there remain various concerns and violations that warrant
your attention and action.
As discussed during the compliance inspection, permit condition III. #19 of the Swine
Waste Management System General Permit requires that a sludge survey be conducted within
two years of receiving the permit and every year thereafter. A review of the on -site records
indicates that a sludge survey was not completed for the upper (primary) lagoon in 2009. A
reminder, that the annual sludge survey is required for this lagoon by October 2010.
It was also noted that monthly stocking records had not been maintained for the last
several months (Permit Condition III. 8). As discussed with staff, these documents are still
required even if the total swine population is below the 250 animal -threshold.
Additionally, the farm's Certificate of Coverage (COC) and General Permit were not
readily available during the inspection (Permit Condition III. 11). Please notify our office if
you are unable to locate these documents and need another copy for your records.

-Alt Una Points and corresponding sludge layer tmcimesses must oe mown on a sKetcn attacned to this sludge
Survey Data Sheet.
See Appendix 4 for conversion from inches to tenths of a foot.

Appendix 3. Sludge Volume Worksheet.
The average thickness of the sludge layer is determined from information on the Lagoon Sludge
Survey Form. In this example, the average sludge layer thickness is 2.5 feet. The dimensions of
the lagoon and the side slope are needed for calculations. If the lagoon is a standard geometric
shape, the volume of sludge in the lagoon can then be estimated by using standard equations. For
rectangular lagoons and constant side slope, calculate length and width at the midpoint of the
sludge layer, and multiply by sludge layer thickness to calculate sludge layer volume, as shown in
the example. For irregular shapes, convert the total surface area to a square shape.

SUBJECT: Notice of Violation - Compliance Inspection
»� Massey Creek Farms, #79-2
Rockingham County
Dear Mr. Mc Collum:
On January 30, 2004 Melissa Rosebrock of the Division of Water Quality`s Winston-
Salem Regional Office (DWQ-WSRO) performed a compliance inspection at your swine farm in
Rockingham County. While most animal waste operations appeared to be in order, there is a
recordkeeping concern that require'§ your attention.
Specifically, Ms. RosebrocQorth
ed that a soil analysis had not been obtained for those
fields receiving animal waste in. As discussed during the inspection, failure to have
complete records is a violation Carolina General Statute 143-215.10C and your
Animal Waste Management Permit. Please be advised that North Carolina General
Statutes provide for penalties of up to S25,000 per day per violation as well as criminal
penalties for violations of state environmental laws and regulations.
A reminder that a representative Standard Soil and Fertility Analysis, including pH,
copper, and zinc, still needs to be obtained for those fields receiving animal waste during 2004.
Per the swine waste permit, the results of the soil tests are to be maintained for three years.
The WSRO appreciates your prompt attention to the violation described above. If you
have any questions concerning this Notice, please contact Melissa Rosebrock or me at (336) 771-
4600.

SUBJECT: Notice of Violation
Compliance Inspection
Massey Creek Farms #79-02
Rockingham County
Dear Mr. McCollum:
On February 23, 2001 Melissa Rosebrock of the Division of Water Quality's Winston-Salem
Regional Office performed a compliance inspection at Massey Creek Farms. While the farm operations
appeared to be in excellent condition and record keeping was improved over last year, there are continued
concerns related to proper waste sampling.
Specifically, Ms. Rosebro tis.
that wa to samples were taken as much as 90 days from the
November and December 2000 aplicatio . As you are aware, waste samples are to be taken
within 60 days of all waste applica Fail a to have complete records is a violation of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.10C and your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. While
the waste sampling frequency was improved this year, please note that this same violation was also
` mentioned during your compliance inspection last year. As discussed during the 2/23/01 inspection, your
intentions to go to a quarterly sampling schedule should eliminate this deficiency in the future.
The Winston-Salem Regional Office appreciates your cooperation in this matter. If you have any
questions concerning this Notice, please contact Melissa Rosebrock or me at [phone].

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 79-2
Rockingham County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRRI, IRR2, DRYI, DRY2, DRY3, SLURI, SLUR2,
SLDI, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571.
