Dear Alfred/Billy Batten:
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 maybe
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 S 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
at [phone] ext 502.

Dear Messrs. Batten:
Aw4 A W1:4
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form.must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on-going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 919/733-0026.

Dear Mr. Batten:
On October 10, 1995, 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 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. In addition, no manmade
pipes, ditches, or other prohibited conveyances (for the purpose of willfully
discharging wastewater) were observed. As a result, your facility was found to
be in compliance during this visit.
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.
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 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
