Dear Mr. Strowd:
on, February 5, 2002, Mr. John Hunt from the Raleigh Regional
Office conducted an evaluation of the holding pond for the animal
peration. This evaluation is conducted as a part of the Division's
effort to determine compliance with the State's Animal Waste
Management Regulations. As a result of the visit the following
violations were observed:
Animal operations with waste lagoons and/or holding ponds are
required to maintain sufficient freeboard that the maximum liquid
level must be far enough below the spillway to allow for containment
of all the rainwater that would reach the holding pond during the 25-
year, 24-hours storm. This includes the rain that falls into the
holding pond as well as all rainwater that drains into the holding
pond. This effluent should never be in the volume set aside for the
25-year, 24-hour storm storage unless the 25-year, 24-hour storm has
occurred. on February 5, 2002 the liquid was observed at the crest
of the spillway, but was not actively discharging during the visit.
Also, Mr. Bunt observed cattle that were in the unnamed
tributary to Pokeberry Creek. Animal access to stream may result in
a water quality standards violation due to the wastes and/or sediment
from animal activity. Animal feedlots should be located as far as
practical from downslope drainage ways, perennial streams, or ponds.
No direct discharge as a result of a rainfall less severe than the 25-
year, 24-hour storm event is permitted from confined or concentrated
cattle feedlots.

of the state from the large stockpile of uncovered solid wastes would
also constitute a violation of N.C. General Statue 143-215.1(a).

Dear Mr. Strowd:
On November 10, 1997, Terri Hollingsworth from the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a compliance
inspection of the subject animal facility. This inspection is part of the Division's efforts to determine compliance
with the State's animal waste nondischarge rules.
The inspection determined that the cattle operation was not discharging wastewater into waters of the State at
the time of the inspection. However, conditions exists that require your immediate attention to prevent an illegal
discharge which is subject to civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day, per violation. The amount of freeboard
in your holding pond was inadequate. Animal waste holding ponds are required to maintain enough freeboard
(19 inches) so that no discharge of wastewater will occur during any rainfall event less severe than a 25 year124
hour storm. Please respond in writing to this office, within 14 days of receipt of this letter, outlining your plans
to correct this condition.
The Raleigh Regional Office appreciates your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions regarding
this inspection please call Terri Hollingsworth at [phone].

Dear Strowd Bros. Dairy,
This is to acknowledge receipt of your request that your facility no longer be registered as an active animal
waste management system per the terms of 15A NCAC 214.0217. The information you provided us indicated that your
operation's animal population does not exceed the number set forth by 15A NCAC 2H .0217, and therefore does not
require registration for a certified animal waste management plan.
Under 15A NCAC 2H .0217, your facility is deemed permitted if waste is properly managed and does not
reach the surface waters of the state. Any system determined to have an adverse impact on water quality may be
required to obtain a waste management plan or an individual permit. You are reminded that a discharge of wastes to the
surface waters of the state will subject you to a civil penalty up to $10,000 per day.
Should you decide to increase the number of animals housed at your facility beyond the threshold limits listed
below, you will be required to obtain and implement a certified animal waste management plan and notify the Division
of Water Quality prior to stocking animals to that level. Threshold numbers of animals that require certified animal
waste management plans are as follows:
Swine 250
Confined Cattle 100
Horses 75
Sheep I,000
,,--PoultrX with a liquid wastes tem 30,000
If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sue Homewood of our staff
at [phone] ext 502.

Subject: Operator In Charge Designation
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission
on Agricultural Waste, was ratified by the North Carolina General Assembly on June 21, 1996.
This bill required that a properly certified operator be designated as the Operator in Charge for each
animal waste management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or
more horses, 1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid animal waste
management system.
The deadline for designating an Operator in Charge for animal waste management systems
involving cattle, horses, sheep, 'or poultry was January 1, 1997. Because a training and
certification program was not yet available for these systems, you were allowed to apply for and
were issued a temporary animal waste management certificate from the Water Pollution Control
System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC). Because you applied for and were
issued a temporary certificate, you were allowed to be designated as the Operator in Charge of an
animal waste management system.
Your temporary certificate expires December 31, 1997, and is not renewable. Our records indicate
that you have not obtained a permanent animal waste management system operator certification. If
you intend to remain the Operator in Charge of the facility for which you were designated, you must
obtain a permanent animal waste management system operator certification of the appropriate type
before your temporary certification expires on December 31, 1997. To obtain a permanent
certification, you must be 18 years of age, complete ten hours of approved training, and pass an
examination. If you do not intend to remain the Operator in Charge, a properly certified animal
waste management system operator must be designated as Operator in Charge of the facility prior to
the expiration of your temporary certification.
This year's final training program for both Type A and Type B animal waste management systems
is scheduled for December 10 and 11, 1997, at the Hunt Horse Complex in Raleigh. If you would
like information about this training program, please contact your local cooperative extension agent
or call Dee Ann Cooper at 919/515-6968. For those enrolled in this training and registering with
Ms. Cooper prior to December 1, an exam will be offered at the Hunt Horse Complex on December
11, beginning at 1:00 pm.

In addition to the training and testing at the Hunt Horse Complex, examinations for permanent
certification will be offered on December 11, 1997, in Williamston, Kenansville, Raleigh
(Wake Tech), Wentworth, Salisbury and Morganton. This examination date will be the last
opportunity to obtain permanent certification before your temporary certification expires. If you
need additional information or have questions concerning the examinations for certification, please
call Beth Buffington at 919/733-0026. For additional information about other training
opportunities, please contact your local cooperative extension agent or call David Crouse at

Strowd Bros. Dairy Operation
Chatham County
Dear Mr. Strowd:
On August 24, 1995, Mr. Ted Cashion from this office conducted a compliance
inspection of the subject facility. This inspection is a part of the Division's
efforts to determine potential problems associated with waste disposal systems.
Mr. Cashion's site visit determined that wastewater from this facility was
not discharging to the surface waters of the State. No manmade pipes, ditches,
or other prohibited conveyances (for the purpose of willfully discharging
wastewater) were observed. The facility appeared well operated and maintained.
Effective wastewater treatment and facility stewardship are a
responsibility of all animal facility operators. The Division of Environmental
Management is required to enforce water quality regulations in order to protect
the natural resources of the State.
This office also reminds you that, if not already accomplished, an approved
animal waste management plan must be incorporated by December 1997. This plan
must be certified by a designated technical specialist or a professional
engineer. For a listing of certified technical specialists or assistance with
your waste management plan you should contact your local Soil and Water
Conservation District.
The Raleigh Regional Office appreciates your cooperation in this matter.
If you have any questions regarding your inspection please call Mr. Cashion at
919-571-4700.
Sincerely,
�A aiv�

Dear Farm Owner:
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission on
Agricultural Waste, was enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly on June 21, 1996. This bill
requires that a certified operator be designated as the Operator in Charge by January 1, 1997, for each animal
waste management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or more horses,
1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid animal waste management system. Our
records indicate that your facility is registered with the Division of Water Quality and meets the requirements
for designating an OIC.
A training and certification program is not yet available for animal waste management systems involving
cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry. Owners and operators of these systems will be issued temporary animal waste
management certificates by the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission
(WPCSOCC). The temporary certificates will expire December 31, 1997, and will not be renewed. To obtain
a permanent certification, you will be required to complete ten hours of training and pass an examination by
December 31, 1997. A training and certification program for operators of animal waste management systems
involving cattle, sheep, horses, and poultry is now being developed and should be available by the spring of
1997. The type of training and certification required for the operator of each system will be based on the nature
of the wastes to be treated and the treatment process(es) primarily used to treat the animal waste.
As the owner of an animal operation with an animal waste management system, you must designate an
Operator in Charge and must submit the enclosed designation form to the WPCSOCC. If you do not intend to
operate your animal waste management system yourself, you must designate an employee or engage a contract
operator to be the Operator in Charge. The person designated as the Operator in Charge, whether yourself or
another person, must complete the enclosed application form for temporary certification as an animal waste
management system operator. Both the designation form and the application form must be completed and
returned by December 31, 1996.
If you have questions about the new requirements for animal waste management system operators, please call
Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt at 919/733-0026.
Sincerely,
FOR Steve . Tedder
