Unpermitted Discharge of Animal Waste

Dear Mr. Lindsay:
This is to advise you that an inspection was conducted of your swine farm on February
13, 1996. The inspection revealed an unpermitted discharge of waste from the application fields.
The discharge allowed waste to enter the headwaters of Doctors Creek, Class C Waters.
By allowing this discharge to take place without the appropriate permit you are in
violation of at least NC General Statute 143-215.1(a)(1) which states in part that:
"No person shall do any of the following things or carry out any of the following
activities until or unless such person shall have applied for and shall have received from
the 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;'
The purpose of this letter is to advise you, (1) To immediately cease all unpermitted
discharges of waste from this facility, (2) Take immediate action(s) to prevent discharges in the
future, (3) That a report is already being prepared for our Enforcement and Compliance Group
with recommendations for enforcement actions.

During the above inspection, regional staff observed that the irrigation hydrant caps had
been removed and waste from the lagoon was being applied in extremely high concentrations on
the application fields via the uncapped hydrants. This action resulted in severe ponding of waste
water which subsequently led to excessive runoff from the fields into adjacent drainage ditches.
These conduits were visually traced by regional staff and it was confirmed that they drained into
the surface waters of the State. In addition, findings from a follow up inspection on 2116196
revealed that the surface waters of the State had been adversely impacted by the discharge from
the spray fields. It was also noted that no active cover crop was present on the spray fields and
waste was clearly not applied at agronomic rates. The existing vegetative cover consisted of
voluntary plant growth and various wetland plant species.
It is requested that you forward to this office, at the address on the bottom of the previous
page, on or before March 18, 1996 a written statement indicating the future plans for the farm
and how you intend to prevent further discharges. It is strongly recommended that you contact
Mr. Wilson Spencer at [phone] for advice concerning a closure plan or certification for
continued operation. Again, if a closure plan procedure is followed, it must be accomplished
in a manner that does not allow for any further discharges to the surface waters of the State.
It is recommended that you contact this office upon receipt of this letter if you have any
questions. Please do not hesitate to contact either Mr. Ed Buchan, Environmental Engineer, or
Michael Wicker Water Quality Regional Supervisor, at (910) 4W1541.

Any approved animal waste management plan must explain how you will collect, store, treat and
land apply your animal waste to the land in an environmentally acceptable manner. To assist you

Keith Lindsey failed to designate an appropriately certified wastewater treatment operator
in responsible charge of the subject animal waste management system, in accordance with
15A NCAC 8F.0201 (a).
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Keith Lindsey violated or
failed to act in accordance with the requirements of N.C.G.S. 90 A-47.2 and 15A NCAC 8F
.0201. A civil penalty of not more than $1,000 per day may be assessed against a person who is
required but fails to designate an appropriately certified wastewater treatment operator as
required by N.C.G.S. 90 A-47.5 and 15A NCAC 8F.0500.
Based upon the above facts and conclusions of law, I hereby assess Keith Lindsey a
$500.00 civil penalty for this violation of N.C.G.S. 90 A-47.2 and 15A NCAC 817.0201 pursuant
to the authority delegated to me by N.C.G.S. 90 A-47.2 and 15A NCAC 8F .0201.

2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed
justification for such request:
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 assessment letter.
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 to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and a
detailed statement which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 14313-282.1(b)
were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting
from the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;

necessary remedial actions.
