SUBJECT: NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY
Mark Barefoot Farm
Facility No. 82 - 521
Sampson County
Dear Mr. Barefoot:
On January 25, 1999, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality conducted a follow-up visit to the Mark Barefoot Farm to check on the
freeboard levels of the lagoon. The lagoon contained only 12 inches of freeboard, and
the some of the spray fields contained standing storm water., Inspectors contacted Mr.
Barefoot to inform him that a visit was made to the farm and the lagoon contained only
12 inches of freeboard. Inspectors met with Mr. Barefoot the following day to advise
him on what areas could be utilized for waste application to prevent runoff. A routine
inspection was conducted on this facility on March 9, 1999. It was observed that the
lagoon was stili in the emergency storage level (18 inches) and the discharge pipes,
entering the Iagoon from the buildings, had eroded portions of the inside slope. It was
also noted that the lagoon had accumulated substantial amounts of sludge. The facility
was utilizing portable aluminum pipe along with a stationary gun for means of irrigation.
The aluminum pipe appeared to leak at approximately every joint when waste was being
applied. One of the pipe joints, at the time of the inspection, was Iocated less than five
feet from a ditch which leaves the property.
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be performed:
1. Lower the lagoon level to the required freeboard on a suitable waste application field
as weather permits and per the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
2. Extend the discharge pipes from the buildings to the lagoon in order to prevent
erosion of the inside slopes. Also need to place soil back in the areas around the
discharge pipes, where the erosion has occurred, and establish a suitable grass cover to
prevent future erosion.

3. Consult with a technical specialist for assistance in determining how the sludge accumulation in the
lagoon will be removed and where the material will be land applied once removed.
4. Please do not locate the aluminum irrigation pipe adjacent to the ditch in order to prevent any wastewater
from entering the ditch as a result of the joints leaking. Conduct a through inspection of the irrigation
equipment before and during an irrigation event to prevent any wastewater from leaving the field.
Please notify this office in writing on or before March 26, 1999 at the letterhead address as to the actions
taken or proposed to be taken to resolve these deficiencies. Nothing in this letter should be taken as
absolving this facility of the responsibility and liability of any violations that have or may result from these
deficiencies. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please call Jeffery Brown, at [phone].

negative impacts on water quality.
Requirement No. 7 states that flush tanks should be covered or the fill pipes should be extended below
the surface of the wastewater of the tank From personai observation, I feel that these tanks and the
way that they fill are not a significant source of odor on a swine farm. By covering or extending the fill
pipes the farm operator will not be able to observe the rate at which the recycle rater fills the tank
This is critical because the tanks are often set up to dump periodically with a timer. if the tanks dump
before they are fined the result is insufficient, water to completely wove the manure out of the pit thus
creating more odors from the building. Conversely, if the tank fills before it is time to dump, you risk a
spill via a blocked overflow pipe.
Dear Sir or Madam:
I atn 'Wfitif g you per instructions received in a letter from Mr. Alan Klimeck dated May 27, 1999
concerarng temporary odor rules for swine farms. In his letter W. Klimeck stated that if i believed
tliai"i<isyematic for you to comply with any of these required management practices please send
written documentation by August 1,1999," We believe that it is problematic for our farms to comply
vnth,!equirement No. 7. In addition we also question the effectiveness of requirement No. 1 and
believe that both of these rules will have a negligible or adverse effect on odor and could produce
negative impacts on water quality.
Requirement No. 7 states that flush tanks should be covered or the fill pipes should be extended below
the surface of the wastewater of the tank From personai observation, I feel that these tanks and the
way that they fill are not a significant source of odor on a swine farm. By covering or extending the fill
pipes the farm operator will not be able to observe the rate at which the recycle rater fills the tank
This is critical because the tanks are often set up to dump periodically with a timer. if the tanks dump
before they are fined the result is insufficient, water to completely wove the manure out of the pit thus
creating more odors from the building. Conversely, if the tank fills before it is time to dump, you risk a
spill via a blocked overflow pipe.

Requirement No. 1 states that the discharge point of the pipe from the buildings shall enter below the
surface of animal wastewater lagoons. This requirement will make it impossible for the operator to
observe what is being discharged from the buildings. A pipe that becomes clogged may go undetected
leading to a back up of recycle water in the pit with the potential to spill out of the building The
operator also will not be able to detect any unusual discharge such as fresh water from a leak or
malfunction. The added turn in the pipe needed to direct the flow under the lagoon surface could also
increase the chance of a blockage.
Because of these concerns we have not covered or extended the fill pipes on the dump tanks at any of
the farms that we own or manage. We have extended our discharge lines under the surface of the
lagoons. We have advised our growers to extend their discharge lines but have given them their choice
on how to handle the flush tanks. Most have opted to leave them as is. l have included a list of farms
associated with TDM in your region_ This includes farms, which we own, manage, or grow hogs on
Contract for us.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and if you have any questions please feet flee to contact me.
Sincerely,
Doug Niemond
