Dear Ingrid Volk:
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
[phone] ext 502.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Volk:
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 forst 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 9191733-0026.
Sincerely,
FOR

Dear Ms. Volk:
On November 20, 1995, Mr. Danny Smith 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 potential problems associated with
animal waste disposal systems.
At the time of Mr. Smith's site visit, it was determined that wastewater
from your facility was not discharging to the surface waters of the State. In
addition, no manmade pipes, ditches, or other prohibited conveyances (for the
purpose of willfully discharging wastewater) were observed.
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 and may also
result in the loss of deemed permitted status, requiring immediate submission of
a waste management plan. It should be further noted that surface waters of the
state pursuant to North Carolina General Statue 143-212(6) include: "any stream,
river, brook, swamp, lake, sound, tidal estuary, bay, creek, reservoir, waterway,
or other body or accumulation of water, whether surface or underground, public
or private, or natural or artificial, that is contained in, flows through, or
borders upon any portion of this State". If your cattle have access to waters
meeting these aforementioned criteria you may want to consider fencing them out.
Cost share money may be available for livestock fencing and erosion control
(for high animal traffic areas) through your local NRCS office. Please contact
the Franklin County office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
at 496-3137 for additional information.
The Raleigh Regional Office appreciates your cooperation in this matter.
If you have any questions regarding your inspection please call Danny Smith at
