9/27/2024	In the evening of September 26, 2024 and the morning of September 27, 2024, Field Office 6 staff and Mr. Lasack exchanged emails. See the attachment titled, "Email_Brad_Lasack_Complaint_34102_09272024". Mr. Lasack is informed of the possibility of referral to the Department's Legal Services Bureau if the manure flows into the tile inlet and has committed to apply the manure, in accordance to IAC, to his crop fields after harvest and to take managerial action to keep manure from discharging from his property.

9/26/2024	On September 26, 2024, Field Office 6 staff received a phone call from Mr. Lasack. Mr. Lasack was aware manure was in the ditch. Mr. Lasack was informed of the existence of the tile inlet, west of his property, and the culvert that directed the storm water entering the ditch into the tile inlet. Mr. Lasack was informed that manure entering the tile inlet could result in water quality violation and that it is in his, his neighbors, the county's, and the Department's best interest to keep that from happening. Staff proposed different management activities that could aid in keeping the manure from discharging from his property such as a berm. Staff discouraged using hay bales to contain manure as rain events could create process waste water that could enter the tile inlet. Mr. Lasak committed to applying the manure to his crop fields and to send an email to staff explaining measures he would take to contain manure on the property.	JEREMIAH KAUFMANN
9/26/2024	On September 26, 2024, Field Office 6 staff, documented cattle manure and processed waste water, from broken round bales, discharging from Mr. Lasack's property into the adjacent southern ditch. Flow could travel ~700 feet west to a culvert that directs flow into a tile inlet that has obstructions behind it to funnel as much stormwater flow into the tile as possible. Staff then took pictures from the road of the cattle operation which includes structures that may or may not be confinement buildings or partially roofed animal feeding operations. Field Office 6 staff then went to Mr. Lasacks residence, nobody was home, and left two door hangers with a request to contact the DNR staff.	JEREMIAH KAUFMANN
