Evangeline Enterprises, L.L.C. / Evangeline Training Center Inspection Date 07/06/2016
Section I - INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE OF THE INSPECTION
EPA Region 6 inspectors, Juan Ibarra and Abu Senkayi, arrived at the Evangeline Enterprises, L.L.C./Evangeline Training Center (facility) at 0847 hours on July 6, 2016, for an unannounced inspection. Abu Senkayi and I presented our credentials to the Security Staff at the front gate to gain site access, and then to Mr. A.J. Credeur/General Manager when he arrived at the facility office. We informed Mr. Credeur that we would be conducting an EPA inspection to determine compliance with the facility's previously issued EPA Administrative Orders, and the Clean Water Act (CWA). The scope of the inspection was a full compliance evaluation (FCE) which included an evaluation of the facility's physical site and operational conditions. Mr. Credeur accompanied the inspectors during a portion of the site inspection that involved the demolition of six horse barns, but was not available for the end of the site inspection.
The facility was initially inspected by EPA on June 26, 2013. Subsequently, a Cease and Desist Order (CWA-06-2013-1861) was issued on July 29, 2013. The Order required the facility to cease and desist all discharges of pollutants from the production area, and submit a plan summarizing the activities implemented to stop the unpermitted discharges. The facility submitted a response dated September 11, 2013, but it did not provide a plan to eliminate the discharges. A second Administrative Order (CWA06-2014-1852) was issued to the facility on November 17, 2014, again requesting a plan and schedule to construct a properly designed wastewater retention structure, and collect process wastewater samples from the three outfalls during rainfall events greater than 0.5".
A second EPA/LDEQ inspection was conducted January 15, 2015, to follow up on the facility's compliance with the previously issued Administrative Orders. Aside from removing the washing machines from the horse barns, no operational changes were made to eliminate the discharge of horse wash rack process wastewater and manure contaminated storm water runoff. An Administrative Complaint (Penalty Order CWA-06-2015-1717) was issued to the facility on February 9, 2015. However, the Penalty Order was withdrawn on August 27, 2015 because EPA decided to refer the facility to the Department of Justice for further action including injunctive relief. As of the day of this inspection, the facility had not eliminated their unpermitted discharges (thru the three outfalls), and had not begun the design work to construct a proper wastewater retention structure.
The purpose of this inspection was to document the operating conditions at the facility, and determine if any changes had occurred to the operation since the four previous EPA inspections conducted on June 26, 2013, January 15, 2015, September 22, 2015, and January 28-29, 2016. We completed the inspection at 1532, and exited the facility without being able to hold a Closing Conference with Mr. Credeur.

FACILITY DESCRIPTION
As described in the initial EPA inspection (conducted on June 26, 2013) the facility was a large unpermitted CAFO with 28 horse barns and 520 horses at the time of the inspection (the number of horse barns has now changed as described below). The total capacity during the first inspection was 1260 horses, however, at the time of this inspection there were approximately 279 stabled horses. Each horse barn had four wash racks that discharge off property thru a series of manmade ditches that run parallel to the barns. Also, the facility has a Receiving Barn and small Pony Barn that provide stalls to horses that have come to the facility to work out on the track for a few hours, but not stay overnight.
The production area had three outfalls which discharge commingled process wastewater and contaminated storm water runoff. The facility experienced unpermitted discharges of process wastewater from the production area during both wet and dry weather periods thru these outfalls. Process wastewater consists of horse wash rack water, horse pool back-wash water, and contaminated storm water from the horse stable production area (including manure bins, walkers and walkway areas).
Production area (contaminated) storm water included runoff from the manure and waste bedding concrete storage bins, the pasture manure storage area, exposed raw materials storage areas, walkers and walkway areas. Non-contact storm water commingled with the other wastewaters and consisted of barn roof runoff. All storm water commingled with process wastewater became process wastewater.
An additional unpermitted point of discharge developed when the facility began using a pasture manure storage area located about 120' west of the Unnamed Tributary of Francois Coulee, and approximately 350' east of the horse barns (See Appendix I Photograph Log, photos 31-35). This manure storage area was first documented during the January 28-29, 2016, inspection report Photograph Log which showed that the storage pile had discharged (prior to the inspection) nutrient laden storm water runoff into the Unnamed Tributary of Francois Coulee. This storage process did not constitute composting management, but rather improper disposal. Furthermore, manure composting operations must be done within the watershed of a lagoon which contains the runoff from the 25-yr/24-hr rain event.
As described in Section II Observations - Facility Housekeeping and Unpermitted Discharges, and Potential for Unpermitted Discharges from C&D Waste/Pasture Manure Storage below, the facility recently (since the previous January 28-29, 2016 EPA inspection) excavated an unpermitted (on-site) Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste landfill located between the Unnamed Tributary of Francois Coulee and the pasture manure storage area. The C&D landfill had the potential to contribute pollutants to the Unnamed Tributary of Francois Coulee (in the same area of the creek as the pasture storage area) should the excavation pit fill with storm water.
The facility also had a 4.5 acre sanitary sewage oxidation pond and lift station located in the center of the practice track. The pond received gravity flow sanitary wastewater from the production area's four barn restrooms (located in Barns D, J, M, and P), the new restroom and shower building that housed four sets of restrooms, and the laundry area. The oxidation pond once served the grandstands, which no longer exist, when the facility used to hold racing events. This oxidation pond was designed as a "no discharge" sanitary sewage treatment unit.

Section II - OBSERVATIONS
Unpermitted Discharges and Discharge Routes into the Vermilion River
The EPA inspection reports from the June 26, 2013 and January 28-29, 2016 inspections document the route of the southeast (SE), west (W), and northeast (NE) outfalls into the Vermilion River. At the time of this inspection, the facility was experiencing an unpermitted discharge of process wastewater from the W and SE outfalls (no samples were taken), but there was no discharge from the NE outfall at that time. The SE outfall discharged into the Unnamed Tributary of Francois Coulee, which then merged with Francois Coulee, thence into the Vermilion River, a Water of the U.S. The W outfall discharged into a drainage ditch which crosses under I-49 and enters Francois Coulee, thence the Vermilion River.
Facility Housekeeping and Unpermitted Discharges
During the inspection, we found most of the same repeat sources of process wastewater and commingled contaminated storm water discharges as those described in the four previous EPA inspections conducted on June 26, 2013, January 15, 2015, September 22, 2015, and January 28-29, 2016. The sources of unpermitted contaminated process wastewater discharges (thru the three facility outfalls) continued to include unabated discharges from the horse wash racks into the facility's manmade drainage channels, contaminated storm water runoff from the manure waste storage bins (photos 24, 26-29), and storm water runoff from the horse walker/walkway areas. Additionally, a pair of sand filters, used to back-wash water at the horse swimming ring (not mentioned in the previous EPA inspection reports) also discharged process wastewater into the manmade drainage channels that would discharge thru the SE outfall (photos 17-19).
The pasture manure storage area continued to have runoff potential into the Unnamed Tributary of Francois Coulee, even though a catch basin had been excavated to reduce runoff discharges (had about a foot of freeboard). However, a new potential source of runoff (not seen during prior inspections, but documented within this inspection report) was an excavated pit for C&D waste, located between the pasture manure storage pile and the Unnamed Tributary of Francois Coulee.
Manure Bin Management
The Photograph Log (photos 24-30) documents that the manure bins continued to have unabated storm water exposure, spillage and track out that would generate contaminated runoff into the drainage channels during rainfall events. This issue, which was documented in the previous EPA inspection reports, includes frequently seen spillage over the back wall of the manure bins. Additionally, according to the facility's submitted response (to EPA Administrative Order CWA-06-2014-1861) dated September 11, 2013, the facility stated that they would begin using tarps to cover the manure bins to minimize exposure to storm water. However, none of the manure storage bins were covered at the time of the inspection. The tarps were observed laying against the back side of the bins. Additionally, it was noted that each of the manure bins had a slight slope toward the adjacent concrete wash rack ditch to help channel contaminated storm water runoff into the ditch collection system.

Potential for Unpermitted Discharges from C&D Waste/Pasture Manure Storage
The facility had recently excavated a C&D waste storage pit (an unpermitted landfill containing waste from the barn demolition) situated about 60' from the Unnamed Tributary of Francois Coulee, and located immediately east of the pasture manure storage area. Additionally, a storm water collection pit was excavated at the northeast side of the pasture manure storage area to capture storm water runoff from the manure storage area prior to discharging into the Unnamed Tributary of Francois Coulee. Neither the C&D pit, nor the pasture manure storage area pit were discharging at the time of the inspection. The manure storage pit had about a foot of freeboard, and the C&D pit appeared to have several feet of freeboard.
It appeared that the pasture manure storage pile had not changed since the prior EPA inspection conducted January 28-29, 2016 (with the exception of the storm water pit). As such, the facility was not complying with the composting design submitted by the facility to LDAF in January 2007, but rather was dumping the manure in large piles. This storage process did not constitute composting management, but rather improper disposal. Furthermore, manure composting operations must be done within the watershed of a lagoon which contains the runoff from the 25-yr/24-hr rain event.
Mr. Credeur stated that the manure was currently given to a farmer named Phillip Melancon to whom the facility hauls manure, a composting operation (owned by Ken Arceneaux) that sold the material as "Poo-Yie" at a local businesses (Lafayette Materials), and to a wholesale nursery named Live Oak Gardens (in New Iberia). However, Mr. Credeur did not maintain manure disposal records.
Demolition of Six Horse Barns and Other Closures
At the time of the inspection, the facility had demolished six horse barns (E thru H, V and W) which included the restrooms that were located in Barns G and V. Mr. Credeur had earlier stated that the C&D waste was being sent to the Livonia, Louisiana landfill operated by Waste Management, however, some of the C&D waste was found in the on-site unpermitted landfill. Mr. Credeur was not available at the end of the day/inspection to discuss the source of the waste material in the on-site landfill. Mr. Credeur also stated that he was preparing to demolish Barns T and U, and that R and S would follow. Mr. Credeur said that the owner, Mr. Castille, had indicated that he intended to take down a total of 15 barns, however, Mr. Credeur did not know which of the remaining barns would constitute the last five of the 15 total barn demolitions.
At the locations where barns had been demolished, the horse walkers had been removed, and the facility planned to sell them. At this point in time, 15 horse walkers had been taken down. Also, some of the manure storage bins had been removed. Mr. Credeur also said that some of the barns (G and H) were so termite infested that the wooden structures crumbled like powder.
Also, Mr. Credeur stated that he thought that a year from now, it was possible that Evangeline Training Center may not exist. The facility had also closed the kitchen about two months prior to the inspection, sold the Chaplain's building, and planned to sell the kitchen building as well.

Horse Boarding and Water Use Records
During the inspection, records were collected to document horse stall lease billing, a blank stall lease agreement, examples of weekly horse barn counts, and water usage billings. Following the inspection we received (by email) monthly summary information on horse stall billing records dating back to January 2013. Appendix 2 contains the horse stall billing records for total horse numbers, excluding the horses that the owner, Mr. Castille, had within Barn X (recently as many as 35-36 horses in May and June of 2016).
Within Appendix 3 are two sample invoices for the month of June for horse barns A and L (billed 6/4/16), and the examples of how the facility conducts its weekly horse counts for the weeks of 5/24/16, 5/31/16, and 6/7/16. Appendix 4 contains the blank Stall Lease Agreement.
The City of Carencro provides the water used in the production area. Production area water is used for horse wash racks, horse drinking water, and trainer water needs such as restrooms. The Evangeline Training Center receives a monthly water bill, for water used thru the 15th of each month. A summary of water usage (generally a little more than two million gallons per month, but sometimes less) from 11/15/2014 to 11/15/2015 were as follow:
11/15/14 to 12/15/15 - 1,699,500

Section III - AREAS OF CONCERN
The following Areas of Concern were documented during the inspection:
x As detailed in Section I, the facility has not complied with the two previously issued Administrative Orders to cease the unpermitted discharge of production area process wastewater.
x The facility had unpermitted discharges of production area process wastewater from the facility's W and SE outfalls into Francois Coulee and the Unnamed Tributary of Francois Coulee (respectively), thence the Vermilion River.
x Best Management Practices were not implemented to properly manage manure and waste bedding at the concrete manure bins, resulting in significant amounts of spillage and washout/track-out on the pavement and the barn ditch drainage system.
x The C&D waste pit, and the pasture manure storage area and pit were located within approximately 60' to 120' (respectively) of the Unnamed Tributary of Francois Coulee. Both areas had the potential to discharge contaminated storm water into the Unnamed Tributary of Francois Coulee, and both activities were unpermitted waste disposal methods.
x The facility was not composting manure and waste bedding according to the LDAF permit requirements. Additionally, any manure composting operations must be done within the watershed of a lagoon which contains the runoff from the 25-yr/24-hr rain event.
x Unpermitted contaminated process wastewater discharges (thru the three facility outfalls) continued to include unabated discharges from the horse wash racks into the facility's manmade drainage channels, contaminated storm water runoff from the manure waste storage bins, and storm water runoff from the horse walker/walkway areas. Additionally, a pair of sand filters, used to back-wash water at the horse swimming ring, also discharges into the ditch leading to the SE outfall.
Section IV - FOLLOW UP
EPA will address the Areas of Concern with appropriate enforcement actions.
