ATTACHMENT A - FREEDMAN FARMS, INC. WE APOLOGIZE FOR OUR ENVIRONMENTAL VIOLATION
On July 6, 2011, Freedman Farms, Inc. entered into a Plea Agreement in U.S. District Court to violating the Clean Water Act, including the unlawful discharge of liquifed hog waste at its Columbus County operation in Clarkton, North Carolina. Beginning on or about December 13, 2007, and continuing through December 19, 2007, the company acting through its employee(s), discharged approximately 324,000 gallons of liqui- fed hog waste from one of the farm’s waste treatment lagoons into Browder’s Branch. Through the cooperation of the farm, State and Federal authorities were able to coordinate the contain- ment and recovery of approximately 169,000 gallons of the waste which was later properly disposed of according to the law and regulations. The stream travels through the Freedman Farm’s hog farm operations and is known as Browder’s Branch, a Water of the United States. Browder’s Branch is a tributary of the Wacca- maw River. At the time of the violation, Barry Freedman was the princi- pal owner/operator of the Freedman Farms, Inc. Freedman Farms raises hogs under a contract with Murphy Brown, LLC. Freedman Farms regrets that the environmental violation oc- curred. The Farm intends to take all steps necessary to ensure that all federal and state laws are respected in the future.
