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

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 [phone].

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

. 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.
