2.2 Walkthrough of the Facility
Ben Atkinson and Cheryl Burdett (EPA), James Salscheider, WDNR, and Aaron and Todd Augustian, Susan LaCrosse, and Nicholas Cordy (Augustian Farm Representatives) referred to as "We". We started the walk-through at northwest side of the facility at the Dry Cow and Heifer Barn, which is identified as Pen 10 and Pen 9. EPA observed the Manure Collection Pit. EPA observed feed pushed from the barn and feed areas of the Dry Cow Barn and Heifer Barn. EPA observed that the areas outside the Dry Cow Barn and Heifer Barn and the designed feed area are sloped to drain precipitation away from those areas to the grassed waterway.
11
Augustian Farms, LLC November 9, 2022
EPA continued along the north side of the Pen 9 and Pen 10 to the west to the concrete path on the northwest side of Pen 9 Heifer Barn. We walked north to the Old Haylage Pad. EPA walked to the east on the south side of the Old Haylage Pad where EPA observed the open front face of the Haylage. At the time of the inspection EPA did not observe process wastewater discharging from the pad. However, the Old Haylage Pad is sloped toward the grassed waterway that flows into a waterway that flows through the center of the Facility. The Owner/Operator stated that once the Haylage is used up by the cows, this pad will no longer store feed. The Owner/Operator estimated that the cows would have it all eaten up by January. EPA walked around the West Steer Barn. We continued to the east side of the Center Access Road. We walked around the 2018 Silage Pad and then to the Leachate Pond. EPA continued to the Northeast Steer Ban and then to the Southeast Steer Barn. EPA observed feed and manure pushed from the Northeast and Southeast Steer Barns and from the attached open feedlots. EPA observed feed and bedding on the grassed area to the east of the Southeast and Northeast Steer Barns. The area to the east is sloped toward the unnamed tributary (locally known as Sandy Bay Creek) to the east of the facility that flows south into Lake Michigan.
We continued the walk around to the south side of the 2021 Silage Pad. EPA observed that there were several wet pathways across the access road and small pools of water on the berm of the waterway that flows through the center of the Facility. EPA also observed pathways indicative of runoff originating from the 2021 Silage Pad across the access road going down the berm EPA observed matted vegetation all the way to edge of the waterway flowing through the center of the Facility.
We continued the walk around down the Center Access Road. We walked between the Milking Parlor and the Large Freestall Barn. We continued along the north side of the Large Freestall Barn to the east. EPA observed the well northeast of the Large Freestall Barn and continued to walk south on the east side of the Large Freestall Barn. EPA observed a clean pile of sand on the concrete pad on the south side of the Large Freestall Barn, no runoff was observed from the clean sand at the time of the inspection.
We continued to walk around the Earthen Manure Storage Structure. EPA observed the PVC Freeboard Marker at the northeast corner of the Earthen Manure Storage Structure. We continued to walk around the entire Earthen Manure Storage Structure and continued to the northwest toward the south side of the Large Freestall Barn.
We continued along the south side of the Large and Small Freestall Barns and then along the west side of the Small Freestall Barn. EPA observed a stormwater ditch along the west side of the Small Freestall Barn. EPA completed the walk-through and went into the office within the Milking Parlor building to go through the closing conference with WDNR and the Facility Representatives.

3. AREAS OF CONCERN
EPA explained during the closing conference that they had concerns about the following areas:
1. EPA observed pathways originating from the covered silage on the 2021 Silage Pad to the waterway that flows through the center of the Facility. This waterway flows east into the unnamed tributary (lknown locally as Sandy Bay Creek) that flows into Lake Michigan. (WPDES WI-0063274 Section 3.6)
2. EPA observed uncontained feed ouside on the east side of the Dry Cow Barn and the attached feed area on the north side on the concrete pad. (WPDES WI-0063274 Section 3.6)
3. EPA observed uncontained feed to the west and north of the West Steer Barn. The concrete where the uncontained feed was observed was sloped toward the grassed waterway. (WPDES WI-0063274 Section 3.6)
4. EPA observed that the east opening of the haylage was not covered and the feed was tracked across the Old Haylage Pad at the open end of the haylage. EPA observed that the pad is sloped toward the concrete and compacted area to the east which is sloped to the north toward the grassed waterway. (WPDES WI-0063274 Section 3.6)

Augustian Farms, LLC November 9, 2022
5. EPA observed used feed and bedding on the concrete pad to the south outside the Northeast Steer Barn and the attached feedlot. The concete pad around the Northeast Steer Barn and attached open feedlot is sloped to the east to a grassed area that slopes toward an unnamed tributary (locally know as Sandy Bay Creek) to the east of the Facility that flows south and then east again into Lake Michigan. ((WPDES Permit WI0063274 Section 3.2)
6. EPA observed uncontained used feed and bedding outside the Southeast Steer Barn and attached feed lot. There was also a gutter from the roof on the east side of the Southeast Steer Barn that is designed to take water from the roof into this area where uncontained feed and bedding was observerd. This area is sloped to the east toward a unnamed tributary (locally known as Sandy Bay Creek) that flows directly to the Lake Michigan. (WPDES WI-0063274 Section 3.6)
