Dear Mr. Joyner:
You are hereby notified that, having been deemed permitted to have a non -discharge permit for the
subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217, you have been found to be in
violation of your 2H.0217 Permit.
On May 29, 2001, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Soil and Water
conducted an operational review of your dairy farm located off Fenny Tew Mill Road in Sampson
County. During that routine inspection, it was noted that the freeboard in the old holding pond was 2
inches or less. This is less than the 19 inches required by your Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CAWMP).
On May 31, 20Q1, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality and
the Division of Soil and Water conducted a follow-up evaluation of the holding ponds freeboard.
During that follow-up evaluation, it was noted that the freeboard in the old holding pond had been
reduced to 12 inches. Water from the old holding pond had been transferred to the new holding pond.
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed:
1. Maintain freeboard levels at or below the required 19 inches.
2. At the end of the current growing season, removed solids from old holding pond.
3. Maintain operation of solids settlement basin to prevent additional build-up in holding ponds.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Koopman,
I enjoyed seeing your dairy on October 16 and on the whole was pleased with the inspection and your
continuing efforts at pouring cement, which should lessen the potential for water quality impacts from the barn
and silage areas. However, while driving out, I noticed some of your cows, presumably replacement heifers,
pastured between the access road and a creek. The soil in the wooded area between the pasture and the creek
looks quite trampled and has potential for eroding into the creek when it rains. Water quality protection best
management practices for pastured cattle can include fencing cows out of the creek and providing alternate
water sources, if necessary. The creek is unnamed but still considered a "blue -line" or perennial stream. Even
though you own the pond immediately downstream, the stream borders the Ervin Jackson property, and since
water leaves your property via the pond outlet (perhaps only in really wet weather), is still a state waterway.
The generally accepted agricultural best management practices are usually the easiest method of addressing
water quality issues. effectively. We will check on this issue during our next regular DWQ Compliance
Inspection, around October 2013, and hope to see substantial progress_

I am attaching a Cooperative Extension publication and the most relevant 1217 Guidance Document
pages. The Guidance Document covers practices which are considered regulatory but too detailed to be covered
in the permit. These call for a minimum buffer of 25 feet measured horizontally from the top of the stream bank,
if vegetative cover is maintained, but NRCS standards for Riparian Forest Buffers (##391) recommend a
minimum of 35 feet, with more being better. This could lengthen the life of your pond, and may result in
healthier cows. If other streams or Little Coharie Creek have muddy banks or upslope areas with pastures you
may need to take similar action there also. Fencing should be sufficient as vegetation will regrow fairly quickly
on its own.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,
I ft-L-
