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 with a liquid waste system 30,000
If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sue Homewood of our staff

Subject: Operator In Charge Designation
Facility: H.L. Pike Farm
Facility ID #: 42-46

Dear Mr. Pike:
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 Bang Huneycutt at 919n33-0026.
Sincerely,

Dear. Mr. Pike:
On September 13, 1995, Mr. Buster Towell from the Raleigh
Regional Office conducted a compliance inspection of the subject
animal facility. This inspection is a part of the Division's
effort to determine potential problems associated with animal waste
disposal systems.
Mr'. Towell'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
deficiencies were observed:
Your open range feed lot houses approximately 100 swine and is
devoid of any ground cover vegetation other than large trees. The
lot itself is eroded and sloped towards a_ small intermittent
stream, which your animals have access to. During wet weather
conditions discharges would occur from this facility.
In addition to continued facility waste 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 issues
within 30 days of receipt of this letter. You should specifically
address how you plan to correct this problem and submit a schedule
(with 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 to surface waters of the State are
subject to 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.
This office would also like to take the opportunity to remind
you that you are required to have an approved animal waste
management plan 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 Buster Towell at [phone].
