Wood: A4•• a � �� IDGrAF=t December 27, 1996 D ,BAN 21997 DEHNR RA1 EIGH R�Al_ OFFICE Subject: Removal of Registration Facility Number 35-21 Franklin County This is to acknowledge receipt of your request that your facility no longer be registered as an animal waste management system per the terms of 15A NCAC 2H .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 a certified animal waste management plan prior to stocking animals to that level. Threshold numbers of animals which require certified animal waste management plans are as follows: Swine 250 Confined Cattle 100 Horses 75 Sheep 1,000 Poultry 30,000 If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sue Homewood of our staff at (919) 733-5083 ext 502.

Hwy. 58 Castalia, North Carolina 27816 Subject:Compliance Evaluation Inspection Facility # 35-21 Bill Wood Farm Franklin County Dear Mr. Wood: On June 13, 1997, Mr. Buster Towell 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 your animal operation was not discharging wastewater into waters of the State and that the waste lagoon had the required amount of freeboard. As a result of the inspection the facility was found to be in compliance with the State's animal nondischarge regulations. This office would also like to take this opportunity to remind you that you are required to have an approved animal waste management plan by December 31, 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 office. The Raleigh Regional Office appreciates your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions regarding this inspection please call Mr. Buster Towell at (919) 571-4700.

Regional Manager 1::�oEHNR Division of Environmental Management August 31, 1995 Mr. Bill Wood Route 1, Box 209 Castalia, NC 27816 Subject: Management Deficiency Notification Hog Operation Highway 58 Franklin County Dear Mr. Wood: On July 24, 1995, Mr. Danny Smith from the Raleigh Regional office conducted a compliance inspection of the subject animal facility. This inspection is a part of the Division's efforts to determine potential problems associated with liquid waste disposal systems. Mr. Smith's site visit determined that wastewater from your facility was not discharging to the surface waters of the state. Nor were any manmade pipes, ditches, or other prohibited conveyances (for the purpose of willfully discharging wastewater) observed. However, as a result of the inspection, the following management deficiencies were observed: - Although your second lagoon had sufficient freeboard, your first lagoon had little freeboard, less than 12 inches in some areas. This problem should receive prompt attention in order to prevent a future discharge or a lagoon breach. A properly functioning lagoon should have at least 19 inches of freeboard. There is concern that the connection between your first lagoon and your second lagoon is blocked preventing waste flow. This seemed likely due to the clear signs of previous overflows from your first lagoon. In addition to continued waste facility management, these deficiencies must be immediately addressed to help prevent the possibility of an illegal discharge. The Raleigh Regional Office will require a written response to the aforementioned issue within 30 days of receipt of this letter. You should specifically address how you plan to correct this problem and submit a schedule (with 3800 Barrett Drive, Suite 101, Raleigh, North Carolina 27609 Telephone 919-571-4700 FAX 919-571-4718 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50%recycled/ 10%post-consumer paper Mr. Wood Page -2- dates) stating when these management deficiencies will be corrected. . Effective wastewater treatment and facility stewardship are a responsibility of all animal facilities. The Division of Environmental Management is required to enforce water quality regulations in order to protect the natural resources of the State. Accordingly, illegal discharges of wastewater to surface waters of the State are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day, and may also result in the loss of deemed permitted status, requiring immediate submission of a waste management plan.
