Inspection Summary:
Melissa Joyner and Tim LaBounty met with Mr. Lankford Ruffin, Corporate Environmental Manager, Juan Juarbe, Facility
Manager and Wanda Richardson, Parts and Environmental Supervisor at the Butterball, LLC - Raeford facility. The facility had
been previously owned by House of Raeford Farms, Inc. and was sold to Butterball, LLC in February 2015, The Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) was reviewed. It appeared well -developed and organized. In 2016, there was no annual
certification in the SPPP that the outfall on the site had been evaluated for the presence of non-stormwater discharges. An
annually updated list of significant spills or leaks or the notation that no spills have occurred is also required. The SPPP
needs to be reviewed and recertified annually. If there are construction projects which have occurred on the site (e.g. the
dock construction project in 2016), this should be noted in the SPPP. Section E in the General Permit NCG060000 is not
applicable to this facility and therefore not required.
The Qualitative and Analytical Monitoring forms were reviewed. Fecal Coliform benchmark values were initially exceeded in
9/2015. Additional high Fecal Coliform values resulted in subsequent monthly monitoring. The installation of a bird monitoring
system, grass in front of the building and the removal of Bradford pear trees resulted in April 2017 with Fecal Coliform no
longer exceeding the benchmark values. Total Suspended Solid values were also high from 3/2016 to early 2017 due to a
dock construction project, but decreased when the project was completed.
A tour was conducted of the site. The grounds were orderly in appearance. The secondary containment area was observed.
Ms. Richardson explained that any discharge from this location is first pumped through a drainage bag. In the diversion ditch
and swale leading to the outfall, erosion and sink holes were noted. A site improvement project is scheduled to
address/stabilize the erosion and sinkholes. The single outfall on the site was reviewed with no issues noted except for
some minor erosion near the rock protection associated with the outfall.

Subject: RE: NCG060360 - Butterball plant @ House of Raeford Farms
Rick,
I made contact today with Chris Murray who is the Environmental Manager for House of Raeford. He confirmed that the
Kill Plant has ceased operations and asked about rescinding their permit coverage under NCG060334. i will e-mail him a
copy of the Rescission Request Form to be completed and sent to your office. This should simplify things regarding the
two facilities.
As far as the NO1 from Butterball for the Further Processing Facility, I recommend we go ahead and issue permit
coverage under COC NCG060360.
If you need any additional information from me, please let me know.
Thanks,
Mike

Mike,
Sorry I missed your call late yesterday. i will make a note in the file and put a copy of the letter from Butterball in the
Raeford permit file that explains the purchase and separation.
We need to suggest to the House of Raeford, maybe during a site visit, that they need to modify their SWWP to reflect
the split of the operation. Also, it would benefit the House of Raeford to apply for a resection of permit NCG060334 if
they are no longer in operation at the other facility or they could just keep it inactive for the portion that they retain.
Butterball stated in their application that they would amend the existing SWPPP and implement it within 60 days of
acquiring the facility.

Thanks

Subject: RE: NCG060360 - Butterball plant @ House of Raeford Farms
Rick,
Did they provide any information that this facility is currently covered under NCG060334 as part of the House of Raeford
Complex? The House of Raeford had two facilities, a Kill Plant and this Further Processing Facility, that were covered
under one COC. My understanding is that the Kill Plant shut down some time ago and the Further Processing Facility was
recently purchased by Butterball. There shouldn't be an issue with issuing a new COC to Butterball for the Further
Processing Facility, but do we need to somehow modify House of Raeford's COC (NCG060334) to reflect that it only
covers the Kill Plant?

Mike Lawyer,
Good morning. Please review the attached NOI application and respond to me with any recommendations to for the
permit. I recognize that you may not visit each new permittee during this NOI review, but it affords you the opportunity
to log the permit into your regional database and add the facility to a future monitoring and compliance visit
schedule. Therefore, your recommendation now to issue the permit serves as your acknowledgement that (1) the
facility is located in your region, (2) that there are no current complaints outstanding about the facility that have not
been dealt with, and (3) that the facility may ultimately be inspected by the regional staff. I've also attached a scanned
copy of the NOI and a location map for your review.

If you need any more info, give me a call. If you could send me a recommendation to issue the permit by 04/13/2015,
I'd appreciate it, so I can issue their COC. I cannot issue the permit until the respective regional office reviews and
comments back to me with a recommendation to issue the permit.
Thank you.
