I. Introduction
The purpose of this report is to show that the Rusty Barber Pork farm of
Clinton, Sampson County, willfully and knowingly discharged wastewater from
a waste stabilization lagoon serving an animal feed lot into the state's
surface waters without the appropriate permit. This discharge occurred
after the facility has been designated a concentrated animal feeding
operation on May 31, 1985 (see Attachment B). This report will show that
an enforcement action is warranted.
The subject discharge was actually observed on 1-20--86. Samples of the dis-
charge and photographs were taken on this date. This office has in the past
been notified by local citizens of discharges from this facility due to
various reasons. During the investigation Mr. Ray Barber, the owner's son,
could give no reason for the discharge. He stated that he had only been
working for his father for several months and that he assumed the lagoon
was being pumped onto adjacent farmland.
The total environmental impact resulting from this discharge cannot be
readily determined at this time. It appeared that the discharge had been
going on for some time due to information given to the State by the com-
plainant. There was no indication of land applying wastewater with an
irrigation system, and there was a very defined trail leading from the
discharge pipe into the surface waters.
II. Conclusion
It has been determined that Rusty Barber Fork Farm operated in noncompliance
with N.C. General Statute 143-215.1(a)(1) when wastewater continued to be
discharged once the facility was designated as a concentrated animal feeding
operation on May 31, 1985. (See Attachment H.)
III. Recommendation
It is recommended that Barber Pork Farm owned by Jasper Ray Barber be
assessed a civil penalty for the violation of M.C. G5 143-215.1(a)(1)
which reads as follows:
143-215.1. Control of sources of water_ pollution;
permits_ required. - (a) No person shall do any of the
following things or carry out any of the following activi-
ties until or unless such person shall have applied for
and shall have received from the Environmental Management
Commission a permit therefor and shall have complied with
such conditions, if any, as are prescribed by such permit:
(1) Make any outlets into the waters of the State;
It is felt that this assessment will alert Mr. Barber of our concern on
this matter and hopefully prevent future similar occurrences. Prior visits
to the Barber Farm by Fayetteville Regional Office staff and the designa-
tion dated May 31, 1985 have not impressed upon Mr. Barber the need to
properly handle the wastewater.
IV. Report - Ruses Barber Pork Farm, Clinton, Sampson County
Background Information: The Fayetteville Regional Office was first made
aware of the Rusty Barber Pork Farm during a complaint inspection performed
by Mr. Ricky Revels on January 4, 1983. During this inspection no waste-
water was being discharged from the waste handling lagoon. Mr. Revels
attempted to contact Mr. Barber on several occasions to discuss waste
handling practices but Mr. Barber made no attempt to contact the Fayetteville
Regional Office regarding this matter.
On February 21, 19$3 the original complainant again called the Fayetteville
Regional Office regarding runoff from the Barber hog lagoon and on Friday,
February 25, 1983 the facility was investigated by Mr. Grady Dobson,
Environmental Engineer, Fayetteville Regional Office. Mr. Dobson observed
that loads of fill material had been placed in the area of the lagoon to
divert surface runoff around'the lagoon. Also, it was observed that the
lagoon's liquid level was level with the top of the dike and to.the
point of overtopping. It appeared that the facility had on hand the necessary
equipment (spray irrigation system) to land apply the lagoon's wastewater
and there would be little difficulty disposing of the hog waste by land
application. Mr. Dobson was also unable to make contact with Mr. Barber
to discuss the animal waste handling practices at this facility. Since
Mr. Barber has a contract with Carrolls of Warsaw to grow feeder pigs,
Mr. Greg Brown, manager of swine operations for Carrolls of Warsaw, was
advised of the situation. Mr. Brown notified the Fayetteville Regional
Office by telephone that he had personally contacted Mr. Barber and that
wastewater was now being land applied on adjacent farmland. Mr. Barber
was notified of our investigation by letter on March 2, 1983 (see Attach-
ment A). During the fall (October, 1983) and spring (April, 1984) the
Barber Hog Farm was observed by various members of the Fayetteville Regional
Office and the facility appeared to be in compliance by land applying the
wastewater.
On April 1, 1985 as the result of another complaint from a local Sampson
County resident, the Barber Hog Farm was again investigated. During this
investigation a ditch was observed in the dike which allowed wastewater to
flow overland into Gillmore Swamp "Class C Swamp" and eventually into Six
Runs' Creek "Class C Swamp" CFRB. Mr. Barber was advised to close the ditch
and cease all discharge. On May 31, 1985 (see Attachment B) the Rusty
Barber Pork Farm was designated as a concentrated animal feeding operation.
Mr. Barber was advised by telephone how the designation would affect him if
the discharge continued,and it was the opinion of Mr. Dobson who talked with
Mr. Barber that he did indeed understand the designation process.
On December 3, 1985 Mr. Grady Dobson, Environmental Engineer, was contacted
by Mr. Miles Fowler, attorney on behalf of his client --a local Sampson County
resident, regarding the discharge of wastewater from the Barber Hog Farm.
IV. Report - Rusty Barber Pork Farm (continued)
Mr. Dobson explained the Animal Feedlot Regulation to Mr. Fowler and on
December 5, 1985 personally inspected the Barber Pork Farm waste lagoon.
Mr. Dobson investigated the lagoon and found no discharge. However, since
the last inspection on April 1985, a 4 inch 20 foot long aluminum irrigation
pipe had been installed in the lagoon dike wall. The pipe was capped with
a standard irrigation end plug and there was no discharge from the pipe.
Mr. Dobson advised Mr. Barber of the consequences if a discharge was ob-
served, and Mr. Barber stated that he planned to pump the wastewater onto
adjacent farmland once the soybean crop was harvested. Mr. Neal Andrews,
Vice President - Carrolls of Warsaw, was notified on December 5, 1985 of
the situation at the Barber Hog Farm and he stated that he would have his
staff contact Mr. Barber to advise him of proper animal waste handling pro-
cedures. Mr. Andrews notified Mr. Dobson on December 6, 1985 that Mr. Barber
had been contacted and waste management was discussed.
On Monday, January 20, 1986, a Sampson County resident notified the Fayette-
ville Regional Office that the wastewater lagoon at the Rusty Barber Pork
Farm was discharging wastewater. This complaint was investigated on the
same date by Mr. Grady Dobson, Environmental Engineer,and Mr. Ricky Revels,
Environmental Technician, Fayetteville Regional Office. The investigation
revealed that the facility did indeed have a discharge from the lagoon from
a manmade conveyance (4 inch irrigation pipe which had been observed on the
previous inspection on December 5, 1985) into the headwaters of Gillmore
Swamp "Class C Swamp" (see Attachment C) which eventually flows into Six
Runs' Creek "Class C Swamp" CFRB. Samples at the discharge pipe were taken
(see Attachment D), photographs of the discharge pipe and the entire facility
were taken (see Attachment E), and issuance of a Notice of Noncompliance
Ticket was given (see Attachment F) to the assistant operator, Mr. Ray Barber.
The. end plug appeared to be intentionally removed from the pipe. The plug
was located above the pipe on the lagoon dike approximately 10 feet from
the discharge point. Mr. Ray Barber was advised that the discharge should
cease immediately and that the pipe must be removed from the dike. Mr. Ray
Barber agreed to remove the pipe and eliminate the discharge. On January 22,
1986 the lagoon was again inspected by Mr. Grady Dobson, Environmental
Engineer, and Mr. Ricky Revels, Environmental Technician, Fayetteville
Regional Office. The aluminum pipe was still in place and a discharge of
approximately 1/2 gallon/minute was observed. Although the end plug had
been installed it was not perfectly sealed and wastewater was discharging
slightly. The wastewater had a reddish wine like color (likely due to algae)
which could be observed in Gillmore Swamp and Six Runs' Creek downstream
from the hog lagoon discharge. There was no reddish color observed in Six
Runs' Creek upstream of the lagoon discharge.
Since there were no stream samples collected on the January 20, 1986 inves-
tigation, a follow-up inspection was conducted on January 22, 1986 to evaluate
the impact on the receiving stream. Stream samples were collected on

January 22, 1986 for the purpose of showing that the discharge was impacting
surface water; however, the sampling did not establish a water quality
violation since five days of sampling would have been necessary to do that.
The first sample was taken approximately 150 feet behind the lagoon in the
headwaters of Gillmore Swamp downstream of the lagoon and sample two (2)
was taken approximately 1000 feet downstream at a location where the main
run of Gillmore Swamp becomes Six Runs' Creek "C Swamp", CFRB. The reddish -
wine like color was observed at both sampling locations but not upstream in
Six Runs' Creek. D.O. readings at sample point one (1) and two (2) were 4.0
mg/l at 5'C and 8.5 mg/l respectfully. The instream D.O. at point two (2)
was in compliance with water quality standards for a class "C Swamp" stream;
however, with a water temperature of 5*C, a D.O. of greater than 8.5 mg/1
would have likely occurred without the presence of the wastewater. Sample
analysis for samples collected on January 20, 1986 and January 22, 1986
revealed the following: (See Attachment C for sampling locations.)

On February 3, 1986, the Rusty Barber Pork Farm was inspected by Mr. Grady
Dobson, Environmental Engineer, and Mr. Paul Rawls, Monitoring Technician,
Fayetteville Regional Office. The 4 inch aluminum pipe had been removed
from the lagoon dike and all discharge had ceased. The water level in the
lagoon appeared to be approximately one foot lower than on the January 22,
1986 inspection. There was no evidence that adjacent farmland was utilized
to dispose of the wastewater nor was it observed that there was a pump or
other irrigation equipment in place to land apply wastewater. The complainant
stated that when the pipe was removed from the dike, some wastewater drained
through this opening; thus resulting in a lowering of the lagoon. The fact,
however, cannot be documented or confirmed by the owner.
Additional stream samples were taken on February 3, 1986 to measure the
impact on the receiving stream (Attachment D). As was previously observed,
the reddish -wine like color was still present in the receiving stream below
the lagoon; however, the color was not as defined as on previous inspections.
Two (2) downstream samples and one (1) upstream sample were taken, revealing
the following results: (See Attachment C for sampling locations.)
Fecal Coliform Bacteria
7,400/100 ml
380/100 ml
L 10/100 ml
The analysis above indicates the presence of wastewater and shows that the
discharge is impacting Gillmore Swamp and Six Runs' Creek. The results
show that there were no elevated fecal coliform counts in Six Runs' Creek
upstream of the Barber hog lagoon.
During the course of the investigation, a copy of the deed from Mr. Barber's
farm was obtained from the Sampson County Register of Deeds' Office. (See

V. Assessment Factors
VIOLATOR: Rusty Barber Pork Farm
IDENTIFICATION NUEBER:
REGIONAL OFFICE: Fayetteville
1. Degree and extent of harm and risk of harm caused by the violation(s):
The lab, analysis from this wastewater discharge documents the presence
of wastewater and indicates that the continuation of this discharge
could cause serious surface water problems in the future and could
result in a fish kill.
2. Number of violations:
(Total - 1) Discharge of wastewater without the appropriate permit.
3. Duration of violation(s):
The discharge was actually observed on 1-20-86 and 1-22-86. Prior to
designation of the subject swine facility, it is believed that waste-
water from this facility has been discharging on and off since our
initial investigation on 1-4-83.
.11 4. Degree and extent of violation(s):
Rusty Barber Pork Farm'.s discharge of wastewater from an animal waste
lagoon constitutes a violation of N.C. GS 143-215.1(a)(1) concerning
discharging to the States surface waters. Prior to this violation the
facility was designated as a concentrated animal feedlot due to the
discharge of wastewater.
5. Cause of violation(s) -- (intentional,. negligence, or otherwise):
Mr. Barber was advised on numerous occasions in person, by letter, and
by telephone of the importance of animal waste management. Apparently,
Mr. Barber intentionally neglected our recommendations and allowed the
wastewater to discharge from the wastewater lagoon.
6. Economic benefit gained by violator by noncompliance:
It appears that the only economic benefit he would have received would
be the actual pumping costs'of land applying the wastewater onto adjacent
farmland. Past conversations and observations of the facility revealed
that the spray irrigation equipment is readily available.
V. Assessment Factors (continued)
7. Type -of violation and ge_n_eral nature of business (i.e., individual vs.
large corporation):
Mr. Barber is an independent grower of swine contracted with Carrolls
of Warsaw and no other income is known.
8. Violator's history of compliance or noncompliance:
Since the first inspection of the Rusty Barber Pork Farm on January 4,
1983. wastewater discharge from the wastewater lagoon was suspected.
Not until April 1, 1985 was a discharge actually observed. After the
designation process was completed Mr. Barber apparently continued the
wastewater discharge intermittently and on January 20. 1986 the waste-
water discharge was again observed from this facility.
9. Violator's degree of cooperation (including efforts to prevent or restore).
Mr. Barber's cooperation has been poor. He was advised on several
occasions to better manage the wastewater handling -practices at his
facility and has apparently ignored all recommendations by the Division
of Environmental Management. Mr. Barber has failed to provide infor-
mation regarding wastewater management practices and apparently chooses
not to comply with N.C. GS 143-215(a)(1).
10. Costs of detecting violation, defining its extent, and bringing enforce-
ment action:
STATE FUNDS EXPENDED FOR INVESTIGATION
Name of Investigators Time Spent Rate per Hour Cost
Grady Dobson 38 hours $15.88 $603.44
Ricky Revels 10 hours 11.63 116.30
Paul Rawls 5 hours 10.66 53.30
Analytical Cost
Laboratory Analysis 108.00
Film and Photograph Developing 24.65
Transportation Miles Rate per Mile
State vehicle 281 20� 56.20
TOTAL COST OF INVESTIGATION $961.89
V. Assessment Factors (continued)
11. _Mitigating circumstances, such as noncompliance attributable to government
or factors beyond violator's control:
There does not appear to be mitigating circumstances. Rusty Barber is
aware the state law (NCGS) prohibits the discharge of wastewater into
the State's surface waters without the appropriate permit and he inten-
tionally ignored the law. Also, due to the "unseasonable dry weather",
Mr. Barber has no reason to say that the wastewater could not be land
applied due to weather conditions.

Operation
Clinton, North Carolina
Sampson County
Dear Mr. Barber:
An investigation by the Fayetteville Regional Office was conducted
on January 21, 1988 in response to a complaint regarding your hog waste
stabilization lagoon. During the investigation a spray irrigation system
was observed operating thus, lowering the lagoon's liquid level. It
appeared that the lagoon had overtopped at some time in the past due to
evidence of a washout, but during our inspection there was no hog waste
discharge.
Should the lagoon overtop resulting in a waste discharge to the
State's surface waters, your facility will be in direct violation of N.
C. General. Statute 143-215.1 (a)(1) can result in an assessment of a
civil penalty. Since you have been assessed a Civil Penalty in the
past, the Division would consider this a very serious violation subject
to further civil penalty assessment.
Since it appeared that your operation had on hand the necessary
equipment (Spray Irrigation System) to land apply the lagoon's
wastewater, there should be little difficulty in properly disposing of
the hog waste by land application. It is recommended that a freeboard
level of at least 2 feet be maintained in the waste stabilization
lagoon at all times.

Dear Mr. Barber:
You are hereby notified that, having been deemed permitted to have a
non discharge permit for the subject animawaste disposal system pursuant
to 15A NCAC 2H .0217, you have been found to be in violation of your 2H
.0217 Permit.
On August 4, 1998, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the
Division of Water Qality conducted an inspection of your swine farm
located off Pope Road in Sampson County. The inspection revealed that
the lagoon freeboard at the time of the inspection was approximately (12)
inches. At the time of the inspection the irrigation pump was broken which
resulted in the high freeboard condition. In addition, the required piping
under the highway (Pope Road) for the irrigation system had not been
installed to allow waste application on the six acre field. The bermuda grass
sprayfield adjacent to the facility has competition with other grasses and
needs improvement. The existing lagoon marker does not identify the low
point in the lagoon dike resulting in the inspector attempting to make a
rough guess of the remaining freeboard.

required in the General Permit for this facility. Failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage pond
greater than or equal to that required is a violation of your General Permit.
The Division of Water Quality requests that the follow -Ing item(s) be addressed:
1. Maintain lagoon freeboard at or below the compliance boundary of 19 inches.
2. Continue to work on weed control in the irrigation fields.
3. Record freeboard levels weekly and keep with the farm paperwork.

SUBJECT: Warning Letter
Jasper (Rusty) Barber SR 1904 Hog
Operation
Clinton, North Carolina
Sampson County
Dear Mr. Barber:
An investigation by the Fayetteville Regional Office was conducted
on January 21, 1988 in response to a complaint regarding your hog waste
stabilization lagoon. During the investigation a spray irrigation system
was observed operating thus, lowering the lagoon's liquid level. It
appeared that the lagoon had overtopped at some time in the past due to
evidence of a washout, but during our inspection there was no hog waste
discharge.
Should the lagoon overtop resulting in a waste discharge to the
State's surface waters, your facility will be in direct violation of N.
C. General Statute 143-215.1 (a)(1) can result in an assessment of a
civil penalty. Since you have been assessed a Civil Penalty in the
past, the Division would consider this a very serious violation subject
to further civil penalty assessment.
Since it appeared that your operation had on hand the necessary
equipment (Spray Irrigation System) to land apply the lagoon's
wastewater, there should be little difficulty in properly disposing of
the hog waste by .land application. It is recommended that a freeboard
level of at least 2 feet be maintained in the waste stabilization
lagoon at all times.

143-215.1, Control of Sources of Water
Pollution; Permits Required, Jasper Ray
Barber, Sampson County, W 86-11
Dear Mr. Barber:
This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty
assessed against Jasper Ray Barber in the amount of
$4274.39.
Attached is a copy of the assessment document
explaining this penalty. This action was taken by the
Director, Division of Environmental Management, under the
authority vested in him by North Carolina General Statute(s)
143-215.6. Any continuing violation(s) may be the subject of
a new enforcement action, including an additional penalty.
Within 30 days of receipt of this notice, you must:
(1) Submit payment of the penalty; or
(2) Submit a written request for remission or
mitigation, including a detailed justification for
such request; or

(3) Submit a written request for an administrative
hearing.
Additional information about your options is as
follows:
(1) Payment should be made directly to this office.
Payment of the penalty will not foreclose
further enforcement action for any continuing or
new violation(s).
(2) A request for remission or mitigation is limited
to consideration of the reasonableness of the
amount of the penalty and is not the proper
procedure for contesting the accuracy of any of
the statements contained in the attached
assessment document. Because a remission request
forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a
waiver of your right to an administrative hearing
and a stipulation that there are no factual or
legal issues in dispute. You must execute and
return the attached waiver and stipulation form to
this office. Finally, your detailed justification
should include any additional facts which should
have been considered by the Director prior to
assessment, as well as any documentation relevant
to your inability to pay the penalty.
(3) If you wish to contest any statements in the
attached assessment document, you must request an
administrative hearing. This request must be in
the form of a written petition, conforming to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General
Statutes, and filed with the Office of
Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 11665,
Raleigh, North Carolina 27604. A copy of the
petition should be filed with this office.
If you wish to have the hearing before a Hearing

IN THE MATTER OF:
JASPER RAY BARBER, SAMPSON
COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
FOR VIOLATIONS OF G.S. 143-
215.1, CONTROL OF SOURCES OF
WATER POLLUTION; PERMITS
REQUIRED, JANUARY, 1986
BEFORE THE NORTH CAROLINA
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COMMISSION
(FILE NO. W 86-11)
FINDINGS AND DECISION OF THE
DIRECTOR, DIVISION OF
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
1
)
Acting pursuant to North Carolina General Statutes (G.S.)
143-215.6 and North Carolina Environmental Management Commission
(Commission) Regulation Title 15 North Carolina Administrative
Code (NCAC) 2J .0003, I make the following:
I. FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. gasper Ray (Rusty) Barber does business as Rusty Barber
Pork Farm in Sampson County on SR 1904 where his hog
farm operations were situated. The farm raised feeder
pigs/hogs for sale to area pork dealers.
B. On May 31, 1985, under Commission regulation 15 NCAC 2H
.0122 - .0123, Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation
and Requirements, the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management ("DEM") designated the hog
farm a "concentrated animal feeding operation."
C. Following designation, any further discharges of waste
from the farm were allowed only after permit(s) had
been applied for and issued by the Commission pursuant
to G.S. 143-215.1.
D. Situated near the hog farm were the headwaters of
Gillmore Swamp, Class C waters of the State which flow
into Six Runs Creek, also Class C waters located in the
Cape Fear River Basin.
E. On Monday, January 20, 1986, the Fayetteville Regional
Office of the DEM ("staff") inspected the hog farm
including its waste storage lagoons. Waste (reddish in
color) was observed flowing from a lagoon through a
four (4) inch, twenty (20) foot long aluminum
irrigation pipe into the headwaters of Gillmore Swamp.
(The pipe had been installed in the lagoon's dike wall
-2 -
on or before December 5, 1985, when it was first
observed during an inspection on that date. On December
5th, the pipe was capped with a standard irrigation end
plug preventing any discharge of waste from the
lagoon). No permit had been issued by the Commission
allowing construction or operation of the pipe.
F. On the 20th staff collected effluent samples, took
photographs of the facility and issued a Notice of
Noncompliance to a Ray Barber, an assistant operator at
the hog farm. Mr. Barber was advised to immediately
cease the waste discharge into the swamp.
G. During follow-up inspection on January 22nd, staff
collected samples of the water in the swamp and creek
to determine the impacts from the waste discharges
(Appendix A). The end plug imperfectly in place on the
irrigation pipe allowed lagoon waste to discharge into
the swamp at a rate of about one-half (J) gallon per
minute. Waste was observed in Six Runs Creek downstream
of the discharge point while no waste was found at
upstream locations.
H. On February 3, 1986, inspection of the hog farm showed
the aluminum pipe to have been removed from the lagoon
dike walls and no waste discharge was observed. The
water level in the lagoon was approximately one (1)
foot lower than its level on January 22nd. Staff found
no evidence that lagoon waste had been applied to
adjacent farm land nor were any pumps, piping or other
spray irrigation equipment in place at the lagoon.
I. since its first inspection of the Barber hog farm on
January 4, 1983, staff experienced difficulty
persuading the owner to improve his animal waste
management practices. During a February 25, 1983,
inspection, staff found the lagoon near capacity and
spray irrigation equipment on site (although not in
operation) but was unable to contact the owner. An
investigation of the farm on April 1, 1985, revealed
waste flowing overland into Gillmore Swamp as a result
of a ditch (or cut) excavated in the dike wall of the
lagoon.
J. Staff costs related to detecting the violations,
defining their extent and nature and bringing the
enforcement action including Office of Legal Affairs
costs totalled $1274.39.

Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following:
II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
A. Jasper Ray Barber is a "person" within the meaning of
G.S. 143-215.6 pursuant to G.S. 143-213 (14).
B. On January 20, 1986, Jasper Ray Barber violated G.S.
143-215.1 (a)(1) and (2) by making an outlet into the
waters of the State and constructing or operating a
sewer or disposal system or treatment works in the
State without a permit when waste from his lagoon
flowed through an aluminum pipe and into nearby class C
swamp and creek waters of the State as described in
paragraphs I. E and F above.
C. On January 22, 1986, Jasper Ray Barber violated G.S.
143-215.1 (a)(1) and (2) by making an outlet into the
waters of the State and constructing or operating a
sewer or disposal system or treatment works in the
State without a permit when waste from his lagoon
flowed through an aluminum pipe and into nearby class C
swamp and creek waters of the State as described in
paragraph I. G above.
D. General Statute 143-215.6 provides that a civil penalty
of not more than ten thousand dollars may be assessed
against a person who is required but failed to apply
for or to secure a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1.
E. General Statute 143-215.3 (9) provides that the
reasonable costs of any investigation, inspection or
monitoring survey may be assessed against a person who
violates any regulations, standards, or limitations
adopted by the Environmental Management Commission or
violates any terms or conditions of any permit issued
pursuant to G.S. 143-215.1.
F. The Director, Division of Environmental Management,
pursuant to Regulation 15 NCAC 2J .0003, has the
authority to assess civil penalties.
Based upon the above Findings of Fact and Conclusions of
Law, I make the following:
III. DECISION:
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6 and 15 NCAC 2J .0006, in
determining the amount of the penalty, I have taken into
-4 -
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and
considered the degree and extent of harm caused by the
violation, and the cost of rectifying the damage.
Accordingly, Jasper Ray Barber shall be, and hereby is,
assessed a civil penalty of:
$ /494�V•VQ for violation of G.S. 143-215.1 (a)(1) and
(2) on January 20, 1986;
$ i14000- tV for violation of G. S. 143-215.1 (a) (1) and
(2) on January 22, 1986; and
$1274.39 for costs of the i��nl1ves�tri�/gatioon.
The total penalty assessed is $ T.� ♦ 7 + .?
IV. TRANSMITTAL:
The Office of Legal Affairs is directed to transmit
these Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Decision
Jasper Ray Barber in accordance with Regulation 15 NCAC

1. Introduction
The purpose of this report is to show that the Rusty Barber Pork Farm of
Clinton, Sampson County, willfully and knowingly discharged wastewater from
a waste stabilization lagoon serving an animal feed lot into the state's
surface waters without the appropriate permit. This discharge occurred
after the facility has been designated a concentrated animal feeding
operation on May 31, 1985 (see Attachment B). This report will show that
an enforcement action is warranted.
The subject discharge was actually observed on 1-20-86. Samples of the dis-
charge and photographs were taken on this date. This office has in the past
been notified by local citizens of discharges. from this facility due to
various reasons. During the investigation Mr. Ray Barber, the owner's son,
could give no reason for the discharge. He stated that he had only been
working for his father for several months and that he assumed the lagoon
was being pumped onto adjacent farmland.
The total environmental impact resulting from this discharge cannot be
readily determined at this time. It appeared that the discharge had been
going on for some time due to information given to the State by the com-
plainant. There was no indication of land applying wastewater with an
irrigation system, and there was a very defined trail leading from the
discharge pipe into the surface waters.
II. Conclusion
It has been determined that Rusty Barber Rork Farm operated in noncompliance
with N.C. General Statute 143-215.1(a)(1) when wastewater continued to be
discharged once the facility was designated as a concentrated animal feeding
operation on May 31, 1985. (See Attachment H.)
III. Recommendation
It is recommended that Barber Pork Farm owned by Jasper Ray Barber be
assessed a civil penalty for the violation of N.C. GS 143-215.1(a)(1)
which reads as follows:
143--215.1. Control of sources of water pollution;
Permits required: (a) No person shall do any of the
following things or carry out any of the following activi-
ties until or unless such person shall have applied for
and shall have received from the Environmental Management
Commission a permit therefor and shall have complied with
such conditions, if any, as are prescribed by such permit:
(1) Make any outlets into the waters of the State;
It is felt that this assessment will alert Mr. Barber of our concern on
this matter and hopefully prevent future similar occurrences. Prior visits
to the Barber Farm by Fayetteville Regional Office staff and the designa-
tion dated May 31, 1985 have not impressed upon Mr. Barber the need to
properly handle the wastewater.
ft
IV. Report - Rusty Barber Pork Farm, Clinton, Sampson Count
Background Information: The Fayetteville Regional Office was first made
aware of the Rusty Barber Pork Farm during a complaint inspection performed
by Mr. Ricky Revels on January 4, 1983. During this inspection no waste-
water was being discharged from the waste handling lagoon. Mr. Revels
attempted to contact Mr. Barber on several occasions to discuss waste
handling practices but Mr. Barber made no attempt to contact the Fayetteville
Regional Office regarding this matter.
On February 21, 1983 the original complainant again called the Fayetteville
Regional Office regarding runoff from the Barber hog lagoon and on Friday,
February 25, 1983 the facility was investigated by Mr. Grady Dobson,
Environmental Engineer, Fayetteville Regional Office." Mr. Dobson observed
that loads of fill material had been placed in the area of the lagoon to
divert surface runoff around the lagoon. Also, it was observed that the
lagoon's liquid level was level with the top of the dike and tb.the
point of overtopping. It appeared that the'facility had on hand the necessary
equipment (spray irrigation system) to land apply the lagoon`s wastewater
and there would be little difficulty disposing of the hog waste by land
application. Mr. Dobson was also unable to make contact with Mr. Barber
to discuss the animal waste handling practices at this facility. Since
Mr. Barber has a contract with Carrolls of Warsaw to grow feeder pigs,
Mr. Greg Brown, manager of swine operations for Carrolls of Warsaw, was
advised of the situation. Mr. Brown notified the Fayetteville Regional
Office by telephone that he had personally contacted Mr. Barber and that
wastewater was now being land applied on adjacent farmland. Mr. Barber
was notified of our investigation by letter on March 2, 1983 (see Attach-
ment A). During the fall (October, 1983) and spring (April, 1984) the
Barber Hog Farm was observed by various members of the Fayetteville Regional
Office and the facility appeared to be in compliance by land applying the
wastewater.
On April 1, 1985 as the result of another complaint from a local Sampson
County resident, the Barber Hog Farm was again investigated. During this
investigation a ditch was observed in the dike which allowed wastewater to
flow overland into Gillmore Swamp "Class C Swamp" and eventually into Six
Runs' Creek "Class C Swamp" CFRB. Mr. Barber was advised to close the ditch
and cease all discharge. On May 31, 1985 (see Attachment B) the Rusty
Barber Pork Farm was designated as a concentrated animal feeding operation.
Mr. Barber was advised by telephone how the designation would affect him if
the discharge continued, and it was the opinion of Mr. Dobson who talked with
Mr. Barber that he did indeed understand the designation process.
On December 3, 1985 Mr. Grady Dobson, Environmental Engineer, was contacted
by Mr. Miles Fowler, attorney on behalf of his client --a local Sampson County
resident, regarding the discharge of wastewater from the Barber Hog Farm.
IV. Report - Rusty Barber Pork Farm (continued)
Mr. Dobson explained the Animal Feedlot Regulation to Mr. Fowler and on
December 5, 1985 personally inspected the Barber Pork Farm waste lagoon.
Mr. Dobson investigated the lagoon and found no discharge. However, since
the last inspection on April 1985, a 4 inch 20 foot long aluminum irrigation
pipe had been installed in the lagoon dike wall. The pipe was capped with
a standard irrigation end plug and there was no discharge from the pipe.
Mr. Dobson advised Mr. Barber of the consequences if a discharge was ob-
served, and Mr. Barber stated that he planned to pump the wastewater onto
adjacent farmland once the soybean crop was harvested. Mr. Neal Andrews,
Vice President - Carrolls of Warsaw, was notified on December 5, 1985 of
the situation at the Barber Rog Farm and he stated that he would have his
staff contact Mr. Barber to advise hila of proper animal waste handling pro-
cedures. Mr. Andrews notified Mr. Dobson on December 6, 1985 that Mr. Barber
had been contacted and waste management was discussed.
On Monday, January 20, 1986, a Sampson County resident notified the Fayette-
ville Regional Office that the wastewater lagoon at the Rusty Barber Pork
Farm was discharging wastewater. This complaint was investigated on the
same date by Mr. Grady Dobson, Environmental Engineer,and Mr. Ricky Revels,
Environmental Technician, Fayetteville Regional Office. The investigation
revealed that the facility did indeed have a discharge from the lagoon from
a manmade conveyance (4 inch irrigation pipe which had been observed on the
previous inspection on December 5, 1985) into the headwaters of Gillmore
Swamp "Class C Swamp" (see Attachment G) which eventually flows into Six
Runs' Creek "Class C Swamp" CFRB. Samples at the discharge pipe were taken
(see Attachment D), photographs of the discharge pipe and the entire facility
were taken (see Attachment E), and issuance of a Notice of Noncompliance
Ticket was given (see Attachment F) to the assistant operator, Mr. Ray Barber.
The end plug appeared to be intentionally removed from the pipe. The plug
was located above the pipe on the lagoon dike approximately 10 feet from
the discharge point. Mr. Ray Barber was advised that the discharge should
cease immediately and that the pipe must be removed from the dike. Mr. Ray
Barber agreed to remove the pipe and eliminate the discharge. On January 22,
1986 the lagoon was again inspected by Mr. Grady Dobson, Environmental
Engineer, and Mr. Ricky Revels, Environmental Technician, Fayetteville
Regional Office. The aluminum pipe was still in place and a discharge of
approximately 1/2 gallon/minute was observed. Although the end plug had
been installed it was not perfectly sealed and wastewater was discharging
slightly. The wastewater had a reddish -wine like color (likely due to algae)
which could be observed in Gillmore Swamp and Six Runs' Creek downstream
from the hog lagoon discharge. There was no reddish color observed in Six
Runs' Creek upstream of the lagoon discharge.
Since there were no stream samples collected on the January 20, 1986 inves-
tigation, a follow-up inspection was conducted on January 22, 1986 to evaluate
the impact on the receiving stream. Stream samples were collected on
IV. Report - Rusty Barber Pork Farm (continued)
January 22, 1986 for the purpose of showing that the discharge was impacting
surface water; however, the sampling did not establish a water quality
violation since five days of sampling would have been necessary to do that.
The first sample was taken approximately 150 feet behind the lagoon in the
headwaters of Gillmore Swamp downstream of the lagoon, and sample two (2)
was taken approximately 1000 feet downstream at a location where the main
run of Gillmore Swamp becomes Six Runs' Creek "C Swamp", CFRB. The reddish -
wine like color was observed at both sampling locations but not upstream in
Six Runs' Creek. D.O. readings at sample point one (1) and two (2) were 4.0
mg/l at S*C and 8.5 mg/1 respectfully. The instream D.Q. at point two (2)
was in compliance with water quality standards for a class "C Swamp" stream;
however, with a water temperature of 5'C, a D.O. of greater than 8.5 mg/1
would have likely occurred without the presence of the wastewater. Sample
analysis for samples collected on January 20, 1986 and January 22, 1986
revealed the following: (See Attachment C for sampling locations.)

On February 3, 1986, the Rusty Barber Pork Farm was inspected by Mr. Grady
Dobson, Environmental Engineer, and Mr. Paul Rawls, Monitoring Technician,
Fayetteville Regional Office. The 4 inch aluminum pipe had been removed
from the lagoon dike and all discharge had ceased. The water level in the
lagoon appeared to be approximately one foot lower than on the January 22,
1986 inspection. There was no evidence that adjacent farmland was utilized
to dispose of the wastewater nor was it observed that there was a pump or
other irrigation equipment in place to land apply wastewater. The complainant
stated that when the pipe was removed from the dike, some wastewater drained
through this opening; thus resulting in a lowering of the lagoon. The fact,
however, cannot be documented or confirmed by the owner.
Additional stream samples were taken on February 3, 1986 to measure the
impact on the receiving stream (Attachment D). As was previously observed,
the reddish -wine like color was still present in the receiving stream below
the lagoon; however, the color was not as defined as on previous inspections.
Two (2) downstream samples and one (1) upstream sample were taken, revealing
the following results: (See Attachment C for sampling locations.)
Fecal Coliform Bacteria
7,400/100 m1

The analysis above indicates the presence of wastewater and shows that the
discharge is impacting Gillmore Swamp and Six Runs' Creek. The results
show that there were no elevated fecal coliform counts in Six Runs' Creek
upstream of the Barber hog lagoon.
During the course of tate investigation, a copy of the deed from Mr. Barber's
farm was obtained from the Sampson County Register of Deeds' Office. (See

V. Assessment Factors
VIOLATOR: Rusty Barber Pork Farm
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER:
REGIONAL OFFICE: Fayetteville
1. Degree and extent of harm and risk of harm caused by -the violation(s):
The lab analysis from this wastewater discharge documents the presence
of wastewater and indicates that the continuation of this discharge
could cause serious surface water problems in the future and could
result in a fish kill.
2. Number of violations:
(Total = 1) Discharge of wastewater without the appropriate permit.
3. Duration of violation(s):
The discharge was actually observed on 1-20-86 and 1-22-86. Prior to
designation of the subject swine facility, it is believed that waste-
water from this facility has been discharging on and off since our
Initial investigation on 1-4-83.
4. Degree and extent of violation(s):
Rusty Barber Pork Farm'.s discharge of wastewater from an animal waste
lagoon constitutes a violation of N.C. GS 143-215.1(a)(1) concerning
discharging to the state's surface waters. Prior to this violation the
facility was designated as a concentrated animal feedlot due to the
discharge of wastewater.
5. Cause of violation(s) -- (intentional, ne li ence, or otherwise):
Mr. Barber was advised on numerous occasions in person, by letter, and
by telephone of the importance of animal waste management. Apparently,
Mr. Barber intentionally neglected our recommendations and allowed the
wastewater to discharge from the wastewater lagoon.
6. Economic benefit gained by violator by noncompliance:
It appears that the only economic benefit he would have received would
be the actual pumping costs'of land applying the wastewater onto adjacent
farmland. Past conversations and observations of the facility revealed
that the spray irrigation equipment is readily available.
V. Assessment Factors (continued)
7. Type of violation and general nature of business (i.e., individual vs.
oration):
Mr. Barber is an independent grower of swine contracted with Carrolls
of Warsaw and no other income is known.
8. Violators history of compliance or noncompliance:
Since the first inspection of the Rusty Barber Pork Farm on January 4,
1983, wastewater discharge from the wastewater lagoon was suspected.
Not until April 1, 1985 was a discharge actually observed. After the
designation process was completed Mr. Barber apparently continued the
wastewater discharge intermittently and on January 20, 1986 the waste-
water discharge was again observed from this facility.
9. Violator's degree of cooperation (including efforts to prevent or restore):
Mr. Barber's cooperation has been poor. He was advised on several
occasions to better manage the wastewater handling practices at his
facility and has apparently ignored all recommendations by the Division
of Environmental Management. Mr. Barber has failed to provide infor-
mation regarding wastewater management practices and apparently chooses
not to comply with N.C. GS 143--215(a)(1).
10. Costs of detecting violation, defining its extent, and bringing enforce-
ment action:
STATE FUNDS EXPENDED FOR INVESTIGATION
Name of Investigators Time Spent Rate per Hour Cost
Grady Dobson 38 hours $15.88 $603.44
Ricky Revels 10 hours 11.63 116.30
Paul Rawls 5 hours 10.66 53.30
Analytical Cost
Laboratory Analysis 108-00
Film and Photograph Developing 24.65
Transportation Miles Rate per Mile
State vehicle 281 20G 56.20
TOTAL COST OF INVESTIGATION $961•89
V. Assessment Factors (continued)
11. _Mitigating circumstances, such as noncompliance attributable to government_
or factors be and violator's control:
There does not appear to be mitigating circumstances. Rusty Barber is
aware the state law (NCGS) prohibits the discharge of wastewater into
the State's surface waters without the appropriate permit and'he inten-
tionally ignored the law. Also, due to the "unseasonable dry weather",
Mr. Barber has no reason to say that the wastewater could not be land
applied due to weather conditions.
