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 tin uid waste s tern 30,000
If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sue Homewood of our staff

From: Steve Mitchell
Subject: Loss Of Deemed Permitted Status
Hawkins Swine Farm
Facility 93-3
The enclosed information includes a Notice Of intent to Revoke Deemed Permitted Status and a Notice
Of Viol ationllntent to Recommend Enforcement for the subject facility.
When this facility was first inspected, the hogs were free-range, the lagoon had been breached leaving
it with no retention, and there was a serious problem with trees on the dam. Since the initial management
deficiency letter, the animals have been confined but the other problems have not been addressed.
In addition, the land that the animals were free -ranged upon is not owned by the farmer as was assumed.
The woman that owns the property was unaware that the pigs were on her land and only became apprised
of the situation when she was informed that the trees could not be harvested due to the lack of vegetation
and the subsequent shortage of buffering growth.

Dear Mr. Hawkins:
On July 31, 1995, Mr. Steve Mitchell, 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. Mitchell's site visit determined that wastewater from your facility was not discharging to the surface
waters of the state. No manmade pipes, ditches, or other prohibited conveyances (for the purpose of
willfully discharging wastewater) were observed.
However, as a result of the inspection, the following management deficiencies were observed:
—Your lagoon has 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 breech.
—It was noted that a significant number of large trees are growing along the toe of the lagoon
slope. Trees can compromise lagoons and cause them to seep wastewater. All trees six inches
or less in diameter and thick undergrowth should be removed and the lagoon berm stabilized.
—The north east corner of the lagoon has been eroded away by a significant discharge several
years ago and needs immediate repair. This problem must be permanently corrected.
--In addition, approximately seventy pigs have been allowed to roam free in the woods around the
facility. These hogs have been confined in and allowed direct access to an area that encompasses
the headwaters of Hubquarter Creek. The waste from these animals is not treated and flows down
hill into natural conveyances toward Lake Gaston. This creek constitutes surface waters of the
State and is classified as Class C. This discharge of waste from these animals to the surface
waters of the State must be eliminated. If you can eliminate this discharge by implementing
changes in your operation within thirty (30) days of your receipt of this letter, no discharge permit

will be required. This can be accomplished by, but not limited to, the removal of the animals from
the woods, and/or fencing them off to allow the construction of a berm to collect the waste
generated and then transport it to the lagoon for correct treatment and disposal.
Mr. Mitchell, with the assistance of Mr. Larry West (Warren County Soil and Water Conservation)
reinspected this facility on April 3, 1996. This inspection is part of the Division's efforts to reinspect
facilities that were determined to have potential problems with liquid waste disposal systems.
In your response received by this Office on November 15, 1995, the free ranging hogs were the only item
attended to. The other management deficiencies detected in July still exist. There is no freeboard in the
lagoon due to the large breech in the north east corner and there are still a significant number of trees
growing along the toe slope. Now that the animals have been confined to the hog houses, the lack of
freeboard has become paramount in its need of attention.
In accordance with the requirements of NCAC 2H.0213, you are hereby given notice that sixty (60) days
following your receipt of this letter, the Division of Environmental Management intends to revoke your
permit unless the following conditions are met:
1. Repair of the breech in the lagoon wall. This will increase the freeboard to the required 19
inches.
2. Removal of all trees six inches or less in diameter and thick undergrowth in conjunction with
the lagoon stabilization.
3. Submittal of an approved animal waste management plan and have the attached form
completed. One copy of the plan must be sent to the Warren County Soil and Water Conservation
District. The certification form and two (2) copies of the plan must be returned to:
Division of Environmental Management
Water Quality Section Operations Branch
Post Office Box 29535
Raleigh, N.C. 27626-0535
Failure to comply with the above conditions will result in your permit revocation and therefore, the existing
waste management system serving this animal operation will be in use without a permit as required by
North Carolina General Statute 1 a3-215.1..
This approved animal waste management plan must explain how the waste will be collected, stored,
treated, and land applied in an environmentally safe and acceptable manner. For assistance in the
development of this plan you should contact your local agricultural agencies. 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.
If the Division has not received the requested plan and certification within the allotted sixty days, or if there
are discharges to the surface waters of the State, a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day may be assessed
and you may be required to apply for an individual non -discharge permit from the Division. This permit,
if issued, will contain monitoring and reporting requirements determined to be necessary by the Division.

Please see the attached letter and disregard the letter that I mailed
earlier to you. As a result of recent information, the letter was
revised.
Recently, Jeff Hawkins, a local producer requested a farm plan for his
outdoor swine project and a letter of support. Jeff along with another
producer are participating in a grant funded experimental project to
compare the results of hogs raised outdoors vs. confinement. As I
understand, this particular grant allows the producer to create their
own approach to the operation and management of outdoor swine production
without government and university technical planning guidance. The grant
is administered by Operation Spring Plant, Inc and not through the local
field office.
As you all know, NRCS requires conservation plans to be based on
developed technical standards and planning policy. Currently, NRCS does
not have any technical guidance to develop a conservation plan simply
based on a producer's own plans. However, NRCS technical and planning
staff are reviewing the producer's proposed production system to
determine if any of his ideas can meet any of the existing technical
guidance for conservation planning of outdoor swine. NRCS may provide
technical assistance to plan only for practices that will mitigate water
quality impacts (exclusion -type fencing, buffer practices, surface
runoff management) if the production system does not meet the
conservation planning guidelines for outdoor swine operations.
Below is the producer's plans in regards to the operation and management
of his outdoor swine operation.
The operation will utilize three existing hog houses and lagoon. The
first house consists of 40 to 60 sows for breeding purposes. According
to Jeff, each sow will average 10 to 15 pigs. The second house is where
the pigs are born and will stay till they reach 60 lbs (max); which
takes about one month and then they will be moved to the third house. At
the third house, the pigs will stay till they reach 100 lbs (max) at
which 1/2 of the population will be moved to the outdoor paddocks and
the other 1/2 will remain in the house till they are sold at 240 lbs.
Approximately, 100 to 150 pigs will all be placed in the first outdoor
paddock where they will remain till they reach 240 lbs (max) which takes
about 3 months. Then the next batch of pigs will be place in the second
paddock and stay till sold. Once all the pigs have been sold in the
third paddock, then a new batch of pigs will rotate back to the first
paddock and the process starts all over. According to Jeff, it takes
approximately 5 1/2 months from birth to market.

.,
Jeff's production goals are to sale 100 finishing hog (tops) per month.
In regards to the outdoor paddocks, currently, Jeff has thinned an
existing hardwood forest on steep slopes. He plans to construct three
(3) fenced paddocks (161' x 600). Each paddock will have a 81x 8'
concrete pad located at the top of the hill where sweet potatoes will be
feed to the hogs. The paddocks will have scattered hardwood trees
throughout for shade and acorns for food. No vegetation is planned to be
established. A fence is planned to be installed approx 30 feet above a
main drainage way which is located at the toe of the slope of the
paddocks. within the 30 ft buffer, a 15 ft wide path is to be located
for access to the paddocks.

Dear Mr. Hawkins:
Robert Brown, District Conservationist
Phone: [phone], ext 3
Fax: [phone]
It was a pleasure meeting with you today. As I understand, you'll need to contact Mr. Jacob Crandall,
Assistant State Conservationist for Water Resources for the letter of support from NRCS as you requested.
Mr. Crandail serves as the NRCS technical contact for Operation Spring Plant CIG grant in which you are
participating. You may reach Mr. Crandall at 919-873-2103.
On December 7, 2007, you requested assistance regarding a conservation plan for your outdoor swine
operation. Without proper stocking rates, vegetative cover, buffers, and nutrient removal, outdoor swine
facilities may potentially cause severe environmental degradation. NRCS requires conservation plans to be
based on developed technical standards and planning policy. NRCS technical guidance regarding outdoor
swine production does not recommend woodland as a permanent rotational portion (only for shade) of an
outdoor swine production facility because of the potential for excessive nutrient loading, erosion, and tree
damage. Current NRCS technical guidelines on outdoor swine facilities require either a pasture -based system
for vegetative maintenance or a system of dry lot rotation with crops planted for removal of generated nutrients.
At this time, NRCS technical and planning staff is reviewing your proposed production system to determine if
any of your ideas can meet any of the existing technical guidance for conservation planning of outdoor swine.
NRCS may provide technical assistance to plan only for practices that will mitigate water quality impacts
(exclusion -type fencing, buffer practices, surface runoff management) if your production system does not meet
conservation planning guidelines for outdoor swine operations.
As a reminder, a 100 ft wide vegetative buffer is mandatory along all drainage ways, springs, wetlands,
streams, creeks, ponds and other water bodies (see attached Conservation Planning Guidelines for Outdoor
Swine Operations; Summary of NC Tech Note; 8/20/07). 1 strongly recommend that you contact the NC
Department of Environmental and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality regarding permits for swine
operation at 919-733-7015. North Carolina law (Senate Bill 1217) states, if there are 250 or more total swine
on your farm (includes in house and outdoor together), then your facility will need to apply for a permit from the
Division of Water Quality and a confined lagoon system will be required to have a nutrient management plan
for land application of waste materials. This would also be a required part of any NRCS conservation plan. If
you have any questions, please contact our office at 252-257-3836, ext 3.

Buster, got your message this morning, and thought I would send you this
to let you know what our understanding of what is going on out on this
farm. Read Robert's summary of this 'proposed' operation at the bottom
of this message, and my response just below this.
Apparently, this guy already has some hogs in a confined situation
{don't know how many) with a lagoon. I don't see at all how he can get
around having a state permit, waste plan, etc. With his objectives of
having 50 sows or so, he would clearly be over 250. I've never visited
the operation, so I haven't seen any of it.
obviously, there are some really big problems with what is being
implemented/proposed. You may want to contact Robert for more info.

Subject: CIG Outdoor Swine Operation in Warren County
I see some huge problems with what Robert describes:
(1) This project was apparently 'approved' by Operation Spring Plant as
a 'pine fertilization project', yet there is no mention of that --this is
for production purposes only, and there certainly is no component of
this that is adaptable for EQIP, as is required by us for CIG grant'
money.
(2)_-So=HawkinsrSAY9=he-can-operate=an=operation=,,without_governmentzando
tuniversYty'=planning=guidance-because-t_his-ia-a-'reasearch-experimenh'?
Does this mean state laws don't apply? I believe I would need something
in writing from DWQ on that. With 40 to 60 sows in the initial
confinement portion of this operation, this obviously would exceed the
250 number that is applicable for state permitting purposes. Hard for
me to believe that he could operate this potential environmental
disaster without DWQ oversight.
(3) Even if he can operate this without a state permit, still our
planning assistance would require a nutrient management plan, and
actually a CNMP (Lane, do you agree since this is technically EQIP
money?) as well. Does he have land to apply lagoon effluent on? Are
the lagoons properly sized? Lots of questions here...
(4) For the outdoor management part of this production system: (a) his
'rotation' paddocks are going to be in the woods, we have no technical
guidance for managing an entire production system in the woods, (b) he
is planning to create permanent feeding areas with concrete pads,
something our technical note specifically says shouldn't be done, (c)
he's going to have 100-150 finishing hogs on (by my math) a little over
2 acres (actually a third of this for 90 days), thus he couldn't rotate
these animals (too many) as in our dry lot scenario even he was going to
Plant crops for nutrient uptake, (d) no vegetation establishment is
planned, thus ruling out both our pasture and dry lot
systems --vegetation establishment wouldn't be possible anyway because
this outdoor operation is going to be in the woods, (e) nutrient loading
in the woods by this number of pigs could be really high, with no
rotational system for uptake
The questions for us are: (1) if this is the production system, then
should CIG be actually funding this with the potential severe
environmental consequences??? (2) what guidance do we need to give
Robert in providing assistance with this operation --obviously he can't
plan using anything but our technical guidelines and practice standards,
(3) is there anything that can be done to make this system an acceptable
demonstration for EQIP/CIG, if not, what action needs to be taken?
Lane, please take a look, give it some thought, and think about how NRCS
should proceed in this situation. JOSH

t±W: CIG Outdoor Swine Operation in Warren County
To: Spencer, Josh - Raleigh, NC
Subject: outdoor Swine Operation
Josh,
Recently, I was asked by Jeff Brown Hawkins to develop a farm plan for
his proposed outdoor swine operation. In order to provide sound
technical assistance to Jeffs request, I am seeking your assistance
regarding conservation planning of Jeff Hawkins' outdoor swine
operation.
According to Jeff, Mr. Yarborough Williams and himself are participating
in an experimental project utilizing grant monies which will compare the
results of hogs raised outdoors (Jeff Hawkins) versus confinement
(Yarborough Williams). As I understand, the grant is administered by Ms
➢orathy Barker, Director of Operation Spring Plant, Inc and not through
the Warrenton Field office. In an earlier office visit in Sept 2007, I
had provided Jeff with NRCS technical guidance regarding outdoor swine
production and informed Jeff to stay at or below 249 total animals due
to the State's Swine Moratorium. Jeff informed me that Operation Spring
Plant and A&T University are working with Jeff Hawkins and Yarborough
Williams as a research experiment, allowing the individual producers to
manage their farming operation without government and university
technical planning guidance.
Below is Jeff's plans regarding the layout and operation of his outdoor
swine operation including an attached sketch.
The operation will utilize three existing hog houses and lagoon. The
first house consists of 40 to 60 sows for breeding purposes. According
to Jeff, each sow will average 10 to 15 pigs. The second house is where
the pigs are born and will stay till they reach 60 lbs (max); which
takes about one month and then they will be moved to the third house. At
'the third house, the pigs will stay till they reach 100 lbs (max) at
which 1/2 of the population will be moved to the outdoor paddocks and
the other 1/2 will remain in the house till they are sold at 240 lbs.
Approximately, 100 to 150 pigs will all be placed in the first outdoor
paddock where they will remain till they reach 240 lbs (max) which takes
about 3 months. Then the next batch of pigs will be place in the second
paddock and stay till sold. Once all the pigs have been sold in the
third paddock, then a new batch of pigs will rotate back to the first
paddock and the process starts all over. According to Jeff, it takes
approximately 5 1/2 months from birth to market.
Jeff's production goals are to sale 100 finishing hog (tope) per month.
In regards to the outdoor paddocks, currently, Jeff has thinned an
existing hardwood forest on steep slopes. He plans to construct three
(3) fenced paddocks (161' x 600). Each paddock will have a S'x B'
concrete pad located at the top of the hill where sweet potatoes will be
feed to the hogs. The paddocks will have scattered hardwood trees
throughout for shade and acorns for food. No vegetation is planned to be
established. A fence is planned to be installed approx 30 feet above a
main drainage way which is located at the toe of the slope of the
paddocks. Within the 30 ft buffer, a 15 ft wide path is to be located
for access to the paddocks.
I look forward to your suggestions and recommendations regarding Jeff
Hawkins swine operation. Please feel free to make a field visit if
necessary.
Thanks:

Jacob, Lane, Carol, Buster and Larry,
Please see the attached letter and disregard the letter that I mailed
earlier to you. As a result of recent information, the letter was
revised.
Recently, Jeff Hawkins, a local producer requested a farm plan for his
outdoor swine project and a letter of support. ,Jeff along with another
producer are participating in a grant funded experimental project to
compare the results of hogs raised outdoors vs. confinement. 1As=1=4

is administered by Operation Spring Plant, Inc and not through the local
field office.
As you all know, MRCS requires conservation plans to be based on
developed technical standards and planning policy. Currently, NRCS does
not have any technical guidance to develop a conservation plan simply
based on a producer's own plans. However, NRCS technical and planning
staff are reviewing the producer's proposed production system to
determine if any of his ideas can meet any of the existing technical
guidance for conservation planning of outdoor swine. NRCS may provide
technical assistance to plan only for practices that will mitigate water
quality impacts (exclusion -type fencing, buffer practices, surface
runoff management) if the production system does not meet the
conservation planning guidelines for outdoor swine operations.
Below is the producer's plans in regards to the operation and management
of his outdoor swine operation.
The operation will utilize three existing hog houses and lagoon. The
first house consists of 40 to 60 sows for breeding purposes. According
to Jeff, each sow will average 10 to 15 pigs. The second house is where
the pigs are born and will stay till they reach 60 lbs (max); which
takes about one month and then they will be moved to the third house. At
the third house, the pigs will stay till• they reach-100 lbs (max) at
which 1/2 of the population will be moved to the outdoor paddocks and
the other 1/2 will remain in the house till they are sold at 240 lbs.
Approximately, 100 to 150 pigs will all be placed in the first outdoor
paddock where they will remain till they reach 240 lbs (max) which takes
about 3 months. Then the next batch of pigs will be place in the second
paddock and stay till sold. Once all the pigs have been sold in the
third paddock, then a new batch of pigs will rotate back to the first
paddock and the process starts all over. According to Jeff, it takes
approximately 5 1/2 months from birth to market.

Hawkins Farm
Secondary Road 1335
Warren County
Dear Mr. Hawkins:
On July 31, 1995, Mr. Steve Mitchell, 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. Mitchell's site visit determined that wastewater from your facility was not discharging to the surface
waters of the state. No manmade pipes, ditches, or other prohibited conveyances (for the purpose of
willfully discharging wastewater) were observed.
However, as a result of the inspection, the following management deficiencies were observed:
1. —Your lagoon has 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 breech.
2. —It was noted that a significant number of large trees are growing along the toe of the lagoon
slope. Trees can compromise lagoons and cause them to seep wastewater., All. trees six inches
or less in diameter and thick undergrowth should be removed and the lagoon berm stabilized.
3. —The north east corner of the lagoon has been eroded away by a significant discharge several
. years ago and needs immediate repair. This problem must be permanently corrected.
4. —in addition, approximately seventy pigs have been allowed to roam free in the woods around the
facility. These hogs have been confined in and allowed direct access to an area that encompasses
the headwaters of Hubquarter Creek. The waste from these animals is not treated and flows down
hill into natural conveyances. toward Lake Gaston. This creek constitutes surface waters of the
State and. is classified as Class C. This discharge of waste from these animals to the surface
waters of the State must be eliminated or permitted. If you can eliminate this discharge by
implementing changes in -your operation within thirty (30) days of your receipt of this letter, no
discharge permit will be required. This can be accomplished by, but not limited to, the removal
of the animals from the woods, and/or fencing them off to allow the construction of a berm to
collect the waste generated and then transport it to the lagoon for correct treatment and disposal.
To continue to manage the waste generated by this facility, these deficiencies must be immediately

addressed to help prevent the possibility of an illegal discharge. Please submit a written response to the
aforementioned issues within 30 days of receipt of this letter. You should.specifically address how you
pdn to correct -these problems- 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.Environ mental 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.
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 Steve Mitchell at [phone].

Dear Mr. Hawkins:
This letter is to notify you that the Raleigh Regional Office is considering making a recommendation to
revoke this facility's deemed permitted status and a recommendation for an enforcement action to the
Director of the Division of Environmental Management. Both recommendations concern the violation of
North Carolina General Statute 143.215.1(a)(1) which makes it illegal for anyone to "Make any outlets into
the waters of the State,"
Mr. Steve Mitchell, from the Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) conducted the initial inspection of the subject
animal facility on July 31, 1996. This inspection was a part of the Division's efforts to determine potential
problems associated with liquid waste disposal systems.
Mr. Mitchell's site visit determined that wastewater from your facility was not discharging to the surface

In the woods around the facility. You were notified of these management deficiencies in a letter from this
Office dated October 11, 1995.
Mr. Mitchell reinspected this facility on April 3, 1996. This was accomplished to determine if the problems
detected earlier with the liquid waste disposal system had been corrected. The other management

detected In July still exist. There is no freeboard in the lagoon due to the large breech in the north east
corner and there are still a significant number of trees growing along the toe slope. Now that the animals
have been confined to the hog houses, the lack of freeboard has become paramount in its need of
attention.
If you have justification that these violations were caused by events beyond your control, you must reply
in writing to the Raleigh Regional Office within ten (10) days after the receipt of this Notice. Your
justification will be reviewed and forwarded to the Director for his consideration. In the absence of such
justification, the Director shall proceed with the enforcement.
For assistance in the development of the management plan you should contact your local agricultural
agencies. 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.

SUBJECT: Operator In Charge Designation

Dear Mr. Hawkins:
[DIEHNFRZ
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.
