    Complaint Description and Writeup

    The Columbia EFO received a voicemail from Milton Beard on Saturday, November 5, 2016, informing them that a discharge had occurred. JCA contacted Mr. Beard on Monday, November 7, 2016, and arranged a site visit.

    JCA and DAL arrived at the site around 2pm. The location of the discharge was Field 5C on Gordon Lawrence Road. A hose had ruptured during the spreading of waste onto the field. An unknown amount of waste had soaked into the ground around the rupture site, and a small amount of waste had made it to the roadside ditch where it travelled approximately 100 feet.

    Mr. Beard was informed that because the discharge was not from a waste retention structure, and because the waste had not reached a waterbody, he was not required to notify our office, nor was he required to collect samples.
