NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY
Carroll's Farm 2526
Facility No. 82 - 469
Sampson County
On August 4, 1999, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality conducted a routine inspection of the Carroll's Farm 2526 swine facility located in
Sampson County. A review of the irrigation records indicated that the Plant Available
Nitrogen (PAN) rate for the coastal bermuda in crop year 1998 had been exceeded by 15
pounds, the millet PAN rate had been exceeded by 28 pounds, and the small grain
overseed PAN rates for the 1996-99 growing season had been exceeded by five pounds.
General Permit condition 111.6.E states that "The Permittee shall report by telephone to the
appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours
following first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following events: (f) Overapplying
animal waste either in excess of the limits set out in the CAWMP or where runoff enters
surface waters.". Wastewater was observed in the farm path and an area adjacent to the
lagoon, however it was in the process of being returned to the lagoon at the time of the
inspection. Wastewater had left the waste management system due to a malfunctioning
flush tank, but was contained on-site, and did not leave the farm property.
A review of the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) indicated that
the plan did not accurately reflect the amount of PAN being generated at the facility. The
amount of PAN actually generated is more than what the CAWMP is written for.
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be performed -
1 -
erformed:
1. Comply with the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) and the General
Permit when applying waste using the correct PAN rates as specified for each crop.

Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
2526
Facility Number 82469
Sampson County
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Scott Faircloth on 2117199 was made to review the actual number of acres at your
facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of
the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X".
Category I:
The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Scott Faircloth the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Scott Faircloth, at 225 Green Street, Suite
714, Fayetteville, NC 28301, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any
questions please contact Scott Faircloth at [phone]. If within 90 days you are
unable to provide Scott Faircloth with the information you are automatically required
to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within
180 days of receipt of this letter.

Category 2:
j� Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWO within the next
180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWO and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that it you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
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 Sonya Avant of our
Central Office staff at [phone] ext. 571.
