The IRR-2 form indicates that waste was applied to 9 acres on Tract-1008 Field-CB2. The waste plan includes Tract 1088, but I could not locate Field CB-2 or even a field within the tract which has 9 acres. I am referencing the most recent waste plan for the beef cattle operation, which is dated 4-15-2015 and was completed by Joe Hudyncia. Please correct the IRR-2 form and resubmit to our office. Additionally, please indicate on the revised IRR-2 form whether the receiving crop was 'born grain" or "corn silage." Thank you for your attention to these matters.

A copy of the inspection report is attached for your review. Accordingly, the following observations and violations were noted: 1. Animal waste was observed in a grassed waterway and in the ditch on the permitted property, in the culvert near and under the road, and on a neighboring property not owned by the permittee. Animal waste was also observed puddled in several places in the yard and in a ravine on the neighboring property leading to surface waters. Animal waste was not actively discharging during our investigation. The application of waste which results in excessive ponding or any run-off is a violation of permit condition 11.5. 2. Per the most recent Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP), dated April 15, 2015, animal waste may only be applied using a broadcast application method. The application of waste resulting in run-off into the ditch and onto a neighboring property was applied using an irrigation reel and gun. Failure to abide by the CAWMP is a violation of permit condition 1.3. State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality 450 W.

The freshwater storage tanks located next to the roofed cattle barn/waste pit failed, causing fresh water to inundate the waste pit located beneath the permitted cattle barn. The excess water caused the waste level in the pit to rise near the top of the slatted floor of the barn. Our records indicate that the permittee notified his technical specialist of the high freeboard on the morning of May 2, 2017. The technical specialist contacted the WSRO on the afternoon of May 2, 2017 to notify the Division that he had received a complaint regarding run-off of animal waste from an application field at Double E Farms. The permittee, however, failed to notify DWR staff of the high waste level in the manure pit and the subsequent run-off of waste from the application field. Failure of Double E Farms to notify the DWR regional office within 24 fours following first knowledge of the failure of the waste treatment and disposal system, and the application of waste resulting in run-off, is a violation of permit condition 111.13. Required Response: Accordingly, you are directed to respond in writing within ten (10) calendar days following receipt of this Notice. Your response should be sent to my attention at the letterhead address and must include specific plans and timeline for permanently addressing the following: 1. Please submit all 2017 records related to the application of waste to the field(s) from which the run-off occurred. The submittal should include completed waste application form(s) with inspection initials, waste analysis, calibration of equipment, freeboard records, 1" rainfall checks, rainfall, stocking, and weather codes. 2. Immediately address the problem which allowed freshwater to inundate the waste pit located beneath the roofed cattle barn. Describe in detail how the issue has been, or will be, permanently corrected. 3. Explain how emergency situations might be anticipated and prevented in the future. Also, outline how Double E Farm's staff will communicate animal waste concerns to the operator in charge (OIC) and to the Division. Additionally, it is strongly recommended that Double E Farms designate a back-up operator. A designation form is attached. This Office is considering sending a recommendation for enforcement to the Director of the Division of Water Resources regarding these issues and any future/continued violations that may be encountered. Our office requires that the violations, as detailed above, be abated immediately and properly resolved. Pursuant to G.S.143-215.6A, these violations and any future violations are subject to a civil penalty assessment of up to a maximum of $25,000.00 per day for each violation. Your above -mentioned response to this correspondence, the degree and extent of harm to the environment and the duration and gravity of the violation(s) will be considered in any civil penalty 11111111111111111IN1111111111 First -Class Mail mental partm ge &Fees Paid ft eceived ennit o.

Knight, P.E. — Regional Supervisor Water Quality Regional Operations Section 450 W. Hanes Mill Road, Suite 300 Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27105 Dear Ms. Knight: We are submitting all 2017 records relating to the application of waste to the field(s) from which the runoff occurred. In response to your Item 2, the issue of freshwater inundating the waste pit. We had an unusually high amount of rainfall. We experienced 7" of rainfall from the 22ntl to the 26'^ with 5" of it happening at once. Due to the excess of extreme rainfall at that time, the rain hit the freshwater holding tanks, then ricocheted back under the roof (these tanks are only used during warm weather). That problem has been addressed and corrected by grading the property around those tanks. The water has been redirected off the landscaped area of the building. At that time, I thought it was better to irrigate because broadcasting would have been impossible! The land was already planted in corn and near water -holding capacity. The pit was completely full and irrigation was for a very short time with the rain water that had gone into the holding facility. The sample tested 1.67 Ibs of N per 1000 gal of solution. There have been no animals in this facility since July of 2014. At that time, it was pumped down as much as mechanically possible after removal of animals. And Item 3, in the event an emergency situation arises again, we will contact DWQ directly at first concern. will respond according to their recommendation for appropriate action. Due to the fact that we could not get on the field, I contacted technician Tony Davis and advised him of our circumstances. He in turn contacted DWQ and both he and DWQ were on site within 24 hours. Staff communication has been re-emphasized to contact Operator In Charge (OIC) and a designation of backup OIC has been assigned. Please accept my apology for any and all errors made and I will do my best to avoid any problems in the future. We would appreciate any consideration you could give us in waiving any and all fines or penalties for this incident. I had surgery on the 215' and was recovering during the heavy rainfall and probably wasn't at my best. In the near future, I hope to have an additional Backup Certified Waste Applicator.

Permanent fence types are designed to be in place for a period of many years with minimal maintenance requirements. Therefore, components are designed for a life span of 15 — 25 years. Permanent fences are used for exterior (boundary) fencing of property and for specific land uses. Temporary, or moveable fences, are usually single wire and designed to be in place for short periods of time. Temporary fences are best used as subdivision fences for frequent movement or control of animals and where the exact location of the fence may not be the same from time to time. Wire type should be flexible enough to allow frequent movement without undue kinking or breaking, or stress on the operator. Temporary or moveable fences have to control the animals in the same manner as the permanent fence, but there is more risk of animals breaching the fence. Fence type or style Barbed wire fences are usually multiple wires used as permanent fences for perimeter or subdivision purposes. They may be used for most type of animals, but are not preferred for horses and small animals. Woven, Net and Mesh wire fences are used as permanent fences for perimeter and subdivision purposes. The 382 - 1 configuration of the wire spacing and height varies depending on the type of animal being controlled. High tensile smooth wire fences are usually multiple wires used as permanent fences for perimeter or subdivision purposes. They may be used for all types of animals if properly spaced. Smooth wire may be steel or aluminum and it may be electrified or non electrified. Electric fences may be permanent or temporary. Electric power is from 110 or 220 electrical current or battery; the battery may be recharged by solar or electrical current. The fences may be of smooth steel, aluminum, or metal woven with polyethylene or polypropylene fiber. Livestock must be trained to respect electric fences. Board fences are usually wood or some type of composition board used for permanent fence for perimeter or subdivision purposes. Board fence is used primarily where aesthetics or animal safety is of concern. They are most often used for control of horses and for working facilities. Other fence types include chain link, pipe, vinyl, galvanized panel, and cable fences. They are generally used around corrals and homesteads. They may be used to restrict access to unsafe areas such as lagoons, abandoned mines, and other unsafe or sensitive areas. Special or non -conventional fencing Common Sense Fence Systems and Electra -braid are acceptable when installed Conservation practice standards are reviewed periodically and updated If needed. To obtain the current version of this standard, contact your Natural Resources Conservation Service State Office or visit the electronic Field Office Technical Guide. NRCS, North Carolina February 2008 0 382 - 2', to manufacturer's recommendation. These and other fence systems are often applicable for horses and other animals having) special needs. MATERIALS SPECIFICATIONS Acceptable fence criteria for various management needs may be found in Table 1. The materials used in construction of the chosen fence type must be in accordance with and meet or exceed size, strength, durability and lifespan of the requirements listed in Tables 2-8 of this document. The Tables present all of the specifications needed to select appropriate materials to meet the Standard 382. Variations of what is presented in this document may be approved if alternatives will meet or exceed current specifications. Documentation should be provided to the Assistant State Conservationist for Technology. CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS Fence -Line Clearina Prior to construction, the fence line shall be cleared of any obstruction that would hinder fence placement and operation. The soil surface along the fence line shall be relatively smooth such that placement of the bottom wire does not exceed the specified maximum wire spacing from the soil surface. Setting posts All post: shall be set and maintained in a vertical position or leaning slightly (1-2" off vertical) away from direction of wire tension. Posts in curves may be set up to 4" off vertical). Posts set on slopes greater than 21 % may be constructed. Posts set with a driver in an auger -drilled pilot hole have about 5 times the holding strength of hand- set posts. If hand set, holes should be at least 6" larger than the diameter of the posts and all backfilled material shall be thoroughly tamped in layers no thicker than NRCS, North Carolina February 2008 4 inches. The post hole shall be filled to the ground surface. Concrete backfill is not necessary when posts are driven or hand set with proper tamping; however, if used it shall be rodded into place in layers not thicker than 12 inches and shall completely fill the post hole to the ground surface. No stress shall be applied to posts set in concrete for 24 hours. Line Posts Specifications of line posts are found in Table 3. Spacing of line posts is found in Table 1 and will be the same for all types of posts. Spacing may vary somewhat depending on terrain and pressure from livestock. Installation shall ensure that adequate fence height is maintained based on its purpose (Table 1). Line Posts — Stream Crossing Anchor posts are required on both sides of a stream crossing. For crossings less than 16 feet wide, standard line posts set on both sides will be adequate. For crossings wider than 16 feet, or when non -electrified heavy flood gate is used, a single H-brace assembly or other suitable brace shall be used. Where needed, flood gates will be attached below bottom wire and will be designed to allow water and debris to pass and still control livestock. Some type of hinged or breakaway floodgate works best. Posts that are set in low areas or gullies may need to be weighted or anchored to prevent lifting out. Stays or battens between line post Stays or wire spacers or battens may be used to maintain desired wire spacing between line posts; note that specifications for post spacing differs with and without stays (Table 1). Stays shall be secured sufficiently to remain in position along wire line. 0 Post Bracina Bracing of anchor (pull) posts is required at all corners, gates, fence ends and at definite slope and alignment changes in the fence line. See Tables 4, 5 and 6 for selection criteria and design specifications of single and double brace assemblies. Corner braces are required at all points where the fence alignment has a change of 20 degrees or more and the pull is from two directions. (In an 8-foot long section, 20 degrees is approx. 3 ft off the straight line). End braces are required where fence ends and on both sides of gate openings and has pull from only one direction. In —line pull post assemblies are located in straight sections of the fence line and where there are sudden changes in elevations, such as at the bottom and top of slopes. Posts that are set in low areas or gullies may need to be weighted or anchored to prevent lifting out. Single post braces may be used with less than 4 HT electrical wire fence (Table 6). Horizontal Compression Braces. Refer to Table 5 for Compression Brace Criteria and Specifications. • Placement of horizontal brace will be between the top two wires or a minimum 3 feet above ground and 8 inches from top of post. • The brace post and anchor posts should be fastened to the compression brace using screws, nails, or steel dowel pin (drilled through vertical post and into end of horizontal brace, 2 inches deep). • Do not notch vertical posts (wood) for stabilizing horizontal brace support as this will increase chance of wood rot. Tension of Brace (Guy) Wires • Two complete loops of 12 '/z gage HT wire or barbed wire or one loop of 9- guage wire. 382 - 3 • For horizontal braces, brace wire will be double wrapped and stapled to brace post at height of 4-6 inches above brace member and to the anchor (pull) post at a point 4 inches above the ground level. • Brace (Guy) wire will be twisted to provide moderate tension using a twist stick of 18-24" and will remain in place approximately midway along brace wire. Another suitable method is to use a fence wire tightener or strainer. Trees as posts Trees may not be used as posts, except on areas too difficult to erect conventional posts, such as rocky areas or frequently flooded areas. The tree should be of durable wood type, relatively straight and free of rot and knots. Trees must be of sufficient size to minimize swaying. Swaying trees could potentially cause the fence to sag or stretch, thus adversely affecting function of the fence. Frequent observation and maintenance will be critical to the continued success of fence that uses trees for posts. Fence wire or insulators shall be stapled into a 2"x4" treated board secured to the tree by wrapping wire around 4 to 6 2"x4" boards and the tree. Alternately, secure the boards to the tree using nails long enough to penetrate the sapwood. Trees shall only be used in situations where the use of posts is technically infeasible. INSTALLATION OF WIRE Fence wire will be stretched to sufficient tension prior to being fastened to posts. Temperature variations must be considered (wire will tighten in cold weather and expand in hot weather). Tensionina the wire Woven Wire - In warm weather, wire shall be stretched until '% of the height of the "tension curve" is removed. In cold weather, remove '/z of the tension curve. Fixed -Knot Woven Wire- The tension crimp should be''/z the size of an un-tensioned crimp. NRCS, North Carolina February 2008 r 0 382 - 4 Barbed Wire - In warm weather, a 100 ft stretch of wire should sag no more than 4 inches in the middle and 2 inches in cold weather. High Tensile Wire - Tension of wires should be sufficient to maintain the proper average height of the fence wires. Tension should be 200 Ibs for cattle, horses and 300 Ibs for goats and sheep. Tension springs In -line wire spring-tensioners are designed to indicate Ibs of tension on the line, assuming placement within the line is appropriate. On most fences the use of one tensioner per pull will provide sufficient indication of the tension on adjacent wires. Springs offer only 3-6 inches of elasticity therefore are of little benefit when something like a tree falls on the wire. Staples and fasteners Staples should be installed into post to allow free slippage of wire. Staples shall be driven diagonally across the grain of the wood and at a slight downward angle (except in dips of landscape) and shall not be driven so tightly as to bind the wire against the post. Electrically charged smooth wires must be attached to conductive posts with appropriate UV resistant HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) or HDPP (High Density Polypropylene) plastic insulators. For steel line posts, the fencing shall be fastened with either 2 turns of 14 gauge galvanized steel wire or the post manufacturer's special wire clips. For all other types of posts, attach as specified by manufacturer. Tie off of wire or insulators: HT wire is tied off using the "thread through method" (a half hitch and 3 wraps) or with compression sleeves. A length of high tensile wire is fastened around the groove of the insulator then looped around the post and stapled on opposite side of post. An alternative is the tubular plastic insulator equipped with an NRCS, North Carolina February 2008 internal metal strip to prevent damage to the plastic tube. All insulators must be rated for use with high tensile fence. Wire attachment to posts Attaching Fence Wire to Anchor (Pull) Post: For Barbed and HT wire fences, wires will be attached to anchor (pull) post by two complete wraps around post, stapled (wood posts) or wired (steel posts) and ends tightly twisted around stretched wire at least six times. Compression sleeves may be used to connect ends of brace wire. For Woven or Mesh wire, determine amount of wire needed to fully wrap around post twice then remove enough vertical stays to provide that length. The wire ends are then attached as described in previous paragraph. Fixed -knot woven fence shall be stapled to wood post or fastened to steel post at every horizontal wire using manufacturer's special wire clips. Post side wire placement: the wire shall be placed on the livestock side of line posts and on the outside of corners and bends, or suspended from the inside of posts in corners and bends using ceramic donuts or appropriate UV resistant HDPE or HDPP plastic insulators. High Tensile wire may be suspended from the inside of posts in corners and bends using ceramic donuts or appropriate UV resistant HDPE or HDPP plastic insulators. Barbed wire shall be attached at each post with 1.5 inch stables driven to allow slippage. Woven wire fencing shall be attached at a minimum to alternate horizontal strands. Staples shall allow slippage. Wire Splicina There are four basic ways to splice wire: 1. Figure 8 knot 2. Western Union splice 3. Reef knot 4. Crimping sleeve 0 of Barbed wire and woven wire shall be spliced by means of a western union splice or by suitable compression sleeves applied with a tool designed for the purpose. All wires on electrical fence should have positive electrical charge In NC climatic and soil environments, all wires on electrical fences should be electrified to provide the maximum electrical conductivity and animal behavior modification. If heavy vegetation grows over the bottom wire, it should be fitted to allow it to be switched to a ground wire during that season. Gates Gates weighing less than 100 Ibs may be hung from single end post properly installed. Heavy metal or wood gates more than 6" wide shall best be attached to the pull post of an H-brace. Stream Crossings -off switch and flood gate controller. Non- electric flood gates should be suspended 6" above normal water level and be hinged such that gate will swing with the rising water during storm events. An electrified flood gate may be used to minimize debris problems on stream crossings. The electrified flood gate is constructed by stretching an electrified wire across the drainage above high water flow level. Attach, with compression sleeves, hanging galvanized chains or wire to the electrified wire at a spacing of 6 inches for goats, hogs and sheep or 12 inches for cattle and horses. Hanging gate should terminate approximately 6 inches above average normal water level. It is advisable to connect the gate to electric fence with double insulated cable through a cut Stream Bank Protection Permanent fencing will be placed at least 10 feet from the top of the stream bank and should allow for more area in meanders to minimize corner bracing and in areas with bank erosion. Safety 382 - 5 Fencing operations can result in painful and serious injury. Wear heavy gauntlet leather gloves to protect hands and wrists, and boots or high -top shoes to protect legs and ankles. Tough, close fitting clothing will reduce risks of catching on wire. When stretching woven, fixed -knot, or barbed wire, stand on the opposite side of the post from the wire and stretcher unit. It is dangerous to use a tractor to stretch wire fencing because of potential breaking of the wire resulting in serious injury from the recoil of the clamp bar, chain, or wire. Keep chains and wire stretching clamps in good condition. Carry staples, nails, or other fasteners in a metal container or in an apron and not in your trouser pockets. Do not hold fasteners in your mouth which is a common but extremely dangerous habit. If you handle preservative treated posts, do not rub your hands or gloves on your skin. Minimize the inhaling of sawdust. Electrical fences should be clearly labeled or identified with the appropriate warning signs. Considerations and helpful hints in construction 1. Woven wire for sheep and goats should have vertical wire wide enough (9" to 12") or narrow enough (<4") to minimize catching their heads. Otherwise use an electric offset wire to keep animals away from woven wire that might "entangle" them. 2. Never use household electrical wire for any part of an electrified fence. Splicing wires of different metals often results in oxidation and corrosion which causes short circuits and poor conductivity. 3. A digital voltmeter is essential to monitoring and maintaining electrical power fences. 4. Avoid placing electrical fences parallel with telephone or commercial power lines since static field can sometimes be created. NRCS, North Carolina February 2008 0 382 - 6 5. It is recommended that fences be located 20 feet or more from streams with a maintenance gate to allow for one -day "flash grazing" when soil is dry enough to minimize trampling damage. This distance can also lessen fence maintenance by reducing flood damage. Temporary fencing may be used to protect streambanks while using forage adjacent to the stream. REFERENCES Turner„ J.

As we discussed, it is our understanding that Ecologic Engineering/Construction will prepare and submit a restoration plan within 60 days for stabilization of the illegally constructed channel. Copies of this plan should be sent to Danny Smith, Wetlands/401 Unit Central Office, Division of Water Quality, 2321 Crabtree Boulevard, Parkview Building, Raleigh, NC 27604-2260 and to Daryl Lamb, DWQ, Winston-Salem Regional Office, 585 Waughtown Street, Winston-Salem, NC 27107. Additionally, please note that our office has yet to receive a monitoring plan for your previous restoration project on Hodges Mill Road (Parcel I.D. #4978-00-00-0421). This plan was a requirement of our February 3, 2006 letter that approved the restoration plan submitted by Buck Engineering. The monitoring plan, due back in March 2006, should be submitted to this office on or before November 30, 2006. Per Item 6(d) of the above February 3 approval letter, your first written annual report for the Hodges Mill Road site is due in March 2001. At this time, the assessment of any civil penalties for both violation sites will be held in abeyance until all of the required restoration and monitoring activities are satisfactorily completed.

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, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR], SLUR2, SLD1, 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.

Dept. of EHNR JUN1998 TO: Jenny Rankin Winston-Salem of Water Quality — WSRO Regional Office FROM: Sonya Avant Xvla Division of Water Quality SUBJECT: Recommendations for Revision to Animal Facility Inspection Form It is time to give our old animal inspection forms a facelift. I am asking all Regional Inspectors to take time and review the old inspection form and make recommendations for a new revised form. Base your recommendations on what you think needs to evaluated on -site at the animal facilities. If there is something on the form that you feel is unnecessary let me know. I will be working with Soil and Water to revise the form. This is the time for your input so don't hold back. Please respond to me with any recommendations by June 19, 1998. I have been informed that there are some concerns with which box(s) to check on the inspection form for certain violations. If you have any recommendations for modifying the instruction form to help clarify this issue pleased provide me with your recommendations. We will then draft new instructions for your review. Hopefully this will help provide more consistency in the way violations are recorded across the state. To help me with the Quarterly Reports I need your help. The database as well as the inspection form has freeboard measured in feet. This is not a problem except for those who record the freeboard in inches. When running the total number of facilities with a freeboard less than one foot, "8 inches" listed in the blank reads as 8 feet. To be a little more consistent and to make the Quarterly Report numbers as accurate as possible, please comment on how you would like the measurement reported. I am open for suggestions. Inches or Feet, either is acceptable but we must be consistent. Please send all comments concerning this memo to me by mail, fax (919) 715-6048 or by e-mail at sonya_avant@h2o.enr.state.ne.us. cc: Water Quality Regional Supervisors P.O.

This bill requires that a certified operator be designated as the Operator in Charge by January 1, 1997, for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or more horses, 1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid animal waste management system. Our records indicate that your facility is registered with the Division of Water Quality and meets the requirements for designating an OIC. A training and certification program is not yet available for animal waste management systems involving cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry. Owners and operators of these systems will be issued temporary animal waste management certificates by the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC). The temporary certificates will expire December 31, 1997, and will not be renewed. To obtain a permanent certification, you will be required to complete ten hours of training and pass an examination by December 31, 1997. A training and certification program for operators of animal waste management systems involving cattle, sheep, horses, and poultry is now being developed and should be available by the spring of 1997. The type of training and certification required for the operator of each system will be based on the stature of the wastes to be treated and the treatment process(es) primarily used to treat the animal waste. As the owner of an animal operation with an animal waste management system, you must designate an Operator in Charge and must submit the enclosed designation form to the WPCSOCC. If you do not intend to operate your animal waste management system yourself, you must designate an employee or engage a contract operator to be the Operator in Charge. The person designated as the Operator in Charge, whether yourself or another person, must complete the enclosed application form for temporary certification as an animal waste management system operator. Both the designation form and the application form must be completed and returned by December 31, 1996. If you have questions about the new requirements for animal waste management system operators, please call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt at 91gn33-0026. Sincerely, FOR Steve W.
