FINDINGS OF FACT: A. Seacoast Group, LLC is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of North Carolina. B. Seacoast Group, LLC owns and operates Sampson Sow Farm, a swine animal feeding operation in Sampson County. C. Seacoast Group, LLC was issued Certificate of Coverage AWS820478 by DWR, under General Permit AWG100000 for Sampson Sow Farm on October 1, 2014, effective upon issuance, with an expiration date of September 30, 2019. D. Condition V.2. of General Permit AWG100000 states that "the maximum waste level in lagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the facility's CAWMP. At a minimum, maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain the 25 year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional one (1) foot of structural freeboard except that there shall be no violation of this condition if: (a) there is a storm event more severe than a 25-year, 24-how event, (b) the Permittee is in compliance with its CAWMP, and (c) there is at least one (1) foot of structural freeboard." E. The CAWMP for Seacoast Group, LLC requires that the waste level in the lagoon does not exceed twenty-six (26) inches in lagoon A and nineteen and one half (19.5) inches in lagoon B below the top of the lagoon wall. F. DWR staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office (FRO) inspected Sampson Sow Farm on July 28, 2016 and observed when examining FRBD-1 lagoon level and rainfall records that there were several non -reported high freeboard events.

This the day of ADDRESS TELEPHONE Signature WIN DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES CIVIL PENALTY ASSESSMENT FACTORS Violator: Seacoast Group, LLC County: Sampson Case Number. PC-2016-0054 Permit Number: AWS820478 ASSESSMENT FACTORS 1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violation; In reference to the cited violation, no harm to the natural resources of the State was observed, to the public health, or to private property was documented. With no on farm waste application records or waste analysis DWR/WQROS is unable to determine if waste was applied above agronomic rates, when it was applied or if any runoff of applied waste occurred. 2) The duration and gravity of the violation; A compliance inspection was completed on July 28, 2016 and documented that the farm was in compliance except that the farm failed to notify DEQ/WQROS of high freeboard situation from December 14, 2015 through March 14, 2016 ?u„Js A- ' ±, ,sJ I a, d kw' Ae 1 6 re ro.f fL+, os --,IL 3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality; The effect on groundwater quality could not be measured. 4) The cost of rectifying the damage; This factor cannot be determined because there is no evidence of a discharge to the waters, of the State. 5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance; Cost of noncompliance did not save the farm any money because the effluent still had to be pumped somewhere. Possibly, pump and haul or loss of hogs could have entailed the loss of several tens of thousands of dollars, both in direct costs and loss of income. Considering the area of the lagoons in question to be about 2 acres, dividing by 2 to accountfor slope inside the lagoon banks and multiplying by the inches of liquid to be removed at an average of 14 inches would yield 14 acre inches or 380,128 gallons to be removed minimum. (27,152 gallons per acre inch) This pretty much coincides with the amount of pumping done to get the farm in compliance when the contribution of the hogs present and rainfall are considered. This would cost about $0.02 per gallon to move if a place close by could be found that could receive the lagoon water. If all the parameters could be met the cost to pump and haul would have likely been a minimum of $7600.00. Conversely, with 1100 sows and an average of 25 weaned pigs per year, and income of $12/weaned pig, removal of the hogs for the time the farm was in structure would have been calculated this way: 1100 sows X 25 weaned pigslyear divided by 365 dayslyear = 75 pigs per day. One or more of the lagoons was in structure from February 3 until March 11 or 37 days. $12/pig X 75 pigs/day X 37 days = $33, 300.00. These numbers were furnished by Mr. Curtis Barwick as a solid estimate. 6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally; The 01C and permittee both know that reporting high freeboard and subsequent POA are required by the permit. 7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and There has only been one previously reported freeboard violation under this ownership. 8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures. $489, 58 l --�4 4l�� Date J Risgaard rev 1.0 - 8.31.09 Violator: Farm Name: Contact Person: Address: Facility #: Regional Office: Inspector: Report Prepared by: Date: Case Narrative: DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES ANIMAL OPERATIONS ENFORCEMENT CASE REPORT Seacoast Group, LLC Sampson Sow Farm Mr. Joe Szaloky 5205 Masonboro Drive, AWS820478 Fayetteville Bill Dunlap Bill Dunlap January 12, 2017 Wilmington, NC 28409 On July 28, 2016 during a routine compliance inspection by staff of the NC Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), Water Quality Regional Operations Section (WQROS) It was discovered that the farm lagoons had been in high freeboard for most of December, January and February of 2015/2016.

Mr. Szaloky replied promptly by email on August 10, 2016. Prior to preparing the enforcement case some errors were noted on the original NOV and an Amended NOV was sent on September 16, 2016, Mr. Szaloky responded by email on September 16, 2016. Mr. Tim Autry was very forthcoming with information regarding the records and his efforts to reduce the freeboard during a period of difficult weather. Fish kill observed? Y/N If vcs, include report from WRC: No fish kill was observed.. Mitiga. tine Circumstances: According to statements provided by Mr. Tim Autry and Mr. Szaloky, all the farms under his direction or management report high freeboard to Ms. Toni King, who notifies DEQ/WQROS for the other farms because they are mostly managed by individuals with a language barrier problem. Ms King also prepares the flan of Action for the farms, and forwards them to DEQ/WQROS. Mr. Autry assumed she was doing the same for him. While the other 6 farms in a similar situation did report, this one did not. Fully reporting on other farms does not excuse failure to report on this one. Recommendation: The Fayetteville Regional Office is recommending assessment of civil penalties pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A. Assessment Factors required to be considered by G.S. 143B-282.1(b): The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from violation: In reference to the cited violation, no harm to the natural resources of the State was observed, to the public health, or to private property was documented. With no on farm waste application records or waste analysis DWR/WQROS is unable to determine if waste was applied above agronomic rates, when it was applied or if any runoff of applied waste occurred. The duration and gravity of the violation: A compliance inspection was completed on July 28, 2016 and documented that the farm was in compliance except that the fann failed to advise DEQ/WQROS of high freeboard situation from December 14. 2015 through March 14, 2016. The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality: The effect on groundwater quality could not be measured. The cost of rectifying the damage: This factor cannot be determined because there is no evidence of a discharge to the waters of the State. The amount of money saved by noncompliance: Cost of noncompliance did not save the farm any money because the effluent still had to be pumped somewhere. Possibly, pump and haul or loss of hogs could have entailed the loss of several tens of thousands of -dollars, both in direct costs and loss of income. Considering the area of the lagoons in question to be about 2 acres, dividing by 2 to account for slope inside the lagoon banks and multiplying by the inches of liquid to be removed at an average of 14 inches would yield 14 acre inches or 380,128 gallons to be removed, minimum. (27.152 gallons per acre inch) This pretty much coincides with the amount of pumping done to get the farm in compliance when the contribution of the hogs present and rainfall are considered. This would cost about $0.02 per gallon to move if a place close by could be found that could receive the lagoon water. If all the parameters could be met the cost to pump and haul would have likely been a minimum of $7600.00. Conversely, with l 100 sows and an average of 25 weaned pigs per year, and income of'$12/weaned pig, removal of the hogs for the time the farm was in structure would have been calculated this way:I 100 sows X 25 weaned pigs/year divided by 365 days/year = 75 pigs per day. One or more of the lagoons was in structure from February 3 until March 1 1 or 37 days. $12/pig X 75 pigs/day X 37 days = $33,300.00. These numbers were furnished by Mr. Curtis Barwick as a solid estimate. Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally: The O1C and permittee both know that reporting high freeboard and subsequent POA are required by the permit. The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority: There has only been one previously reported freeboard violation under this ownership.

The violation was my mistake. however it was not intentional. The violation occurred as a result of having to clean my gutters out in my farrowing rooms. I had been conserving and not completely cleaning them since the hurricanes of 1999. The weeks prior April 04, 20001 had to clean the gutters to avoid the high potential for disease that was threatening my herd_ In order to get the gutters cleaned it took fresh water in both pressure and volume. Therefore that added to the liquid level in the lagoon. A second problem is with the design of my lagoons_ That is my lagoons were constructed with no spillway between them. This was one of my concerns with having the two lagoons as they are. This is a problem because two of my farrowing rooms had to be re-routed to discharge in the newly constructed lagoon. Yet the two rooms are flushed from the old lagoon, so when these rooms are flushed the water is transferred from the old to the new lagoons through these Farrowing rooms. The old lagoon is the lagoon in which my irrigation systems are set up to pump out of, so in effect I have to pump back and forth between the two lagoons in order to regulate my levels, and sometimes in weather as we have had it is very difficult to manage. Records should show that l was back in compliance on April 6, 2000 and 1 notified Robert Heath in Fayetteville on the morning of April 7, 2000 that the lagoon was back into compliance and that my hay was cut. Also I was confused with the calling in time, because of the 12" we had in the hurricane season. I have never had to call in until last fall. In error I assumed that 12" was the point to call. I have reviewed my laws and books and also questioned Mr. Heath on my violation date and realize that I was in error, and know now that I am supposed to call in if my level is less than 19". I sincerely apologize for my mistake and will keep up with the changes better in order to maintain the clean record I had before this incident. Thank you for taking the time to read my response and taking it into consideration. Sincerely, oel L_ Faircloth Jr. Sec.ITrea.

CAW MP — see attachment 6.) Summary of actions taken to bring the freeboard back to compliance levels: a.) No restocking occurred when the lagoon freeboard level dropped to less than 19 inches. b.) Used the nutrient management program as it was designed to contain waste water in the lagoon until the LNM could safely apply to sprayfields as outlined in the CAWMP. The system protected waters of the state, the environment, and allowed us to utilize the nutrients in a cropping program at an appropriate time. c.) When lagoon levels reached 21 inches, the lagoons were monitored daily by production and LNM (production monitors daily and LNM weekly under normal operations per the EMS program). 7.) Description of water conservation measures in use> - The farm had water nipples for the sows when the farm was purchased on 1 /16/2003. The watering system was inspected, upgraded for improved conservation and wasteful leaks repaired. BM P's for water conservation were used. 8.) Lagoon level still in violation of the permit. — No, reported in compliance on 4/23/03. 9.) Detailed description of the actions taken or proposed to be taken to insure that there are no further freeboard violations at this facility. — The facility and system worked as it was designed to protect the environment. BMP's will be used to manage the system. The Murphy Brown LLC Environmental Management Systems goal of continual improvement will drive the goal for compliance. The internal audit system will identify areas for improvement as we move forward. This farm was purchased on 1/16103 and is being managed by Rose Hill Production and Kenansville LNM. At the present time we have been waiting for a road bore permit to add additional spray field (the land is already leased). Areas around the facility were graded to 1 • Page 2 May 5, 2003 prevent surface water from draining into the buildings and impacting the lagoon freeboard. The farm will operate under water goals for production type and be monitored the same as any other farm in the EMS System. The Murphy Brown LLC, Kenansville Division has submitted the information requested with this letter. I respectfully request to be involved with the review process of this NOV and answer any questions that you may have.. The frequency of rainfall during the winter impacted the ability to land apply nutrients in an environmentally safe manner as much as the actual rainfall amount itself.
