PLANNING
DATE 71o9J�2
Purpose is to provide or improve access to forage, water, animal facilities, and improve grazing
efficiency, distribution and protect ecologically sensitive, erosive and potentially erosive sites.
• Surfacing types include compacted earth, compacted gravel or hard pavement.
• Storm water runoff control needs should be addressed, as well as any stream crossing issues.
• A survey is important for design, especially for steeper grades requiring runoff practices.
• Leave plenty of buffer from all streams, surface waters, and wetlands; in 25 feet.
• Add two (2) additional feet of filter for each percent of increase in slope. NRCS/District
personnel will assist in the layout. ,
DESIGN
• All areas disturbed in the construction process will need to be vegetated.
• Protect from grazing until the vegetation is fully established and capable of withstanding
grazing and/or trampling.
• Fencing will be needed to keep animals confined to the trail.
• Broad Based Dips are to be installed where needed to prevent excess surface runoff and
subsequent erosion.
• Formula for determining spacing of dips: 400 feet/slope + 100 feet = dip spacing
• Avoid slopes longer than 200 feet and steeper than 10% grade, otherwise use water bars as
needed.
• Design width suitable for animal and management needs.
• Gravel surfacing requires 6 inches of machine compacted NC -DOT ABC gravel.
• Nonwoven geotextile will be placed beneath the gravel on all fill areas, wet, or soft areas (see
geotextile specs).

Erosion Control measures are needed on sloping areas to control degradation of the road
surface:
Outsloping: Where the bed is cut across a slope, and no ditching is used, the bed surface should be
sloped away from the cut bank'/4 inch to 3/8 inch per foot.
Crowning: The bed should be properly crowned from the center to shed water off both sides of the
bed, even on a grade.

GEOTEXTILE
STABILITY
When geotextiles are used under gravel or rock surfaces (Stream Crossing, Heavy Use
Area Protection, Stock Trail, Access Road, or any other stabilization practice) the
functions involved in this use (stabilization) are separation, reinforcement and to a lesser
degree, filtration. Some permeability is required, but the key factor is the ability to take
tensile loads with uniform deformation, that is distribute loads over a wider area of the
subgrade. Backfill and covering procedures are also important for the geotextile to
function as intended.
Typical physical properties of a non -woven needle punch geotextile for stability are as
follows:
Tensile strength
120 lbs. minimum
Elongation at failure (%)
> 50
Puncture (pounds)
60 minimum
Apparent Opening Size (AOS)
#40 U.S. standard sieve size
maximum
U. V. Resistance
(150-hr exposure)
70% minimum (strength retained)
Permittivity sec-1
0.70 minimum
Geotextile meeting all these requirements will work well in most applications for
stability. There will be those cases where heavier and stronger geotextile material should
be used because of large loads or soft foundations.
The practice standards for stock trail, heavy use area protection and access road do not
require the use of geotextile, per se. However, it is the responsibility of the designer to
determine if geotextile is needed. For example, the heavy use area protection standard
requires that if vehicular traffic is involved the design wheel load is 4000 lbs. which
would result in specifying geotextile or a very thick compacted gravel surface. The same
would hold true for stock trail if the foundation contained shrink -swell clay or there
would be some vehicular traffic, the design should require geotextile for that specific site,
even though the standard makes no mention of geotextile.

MRCS-NC-C'FA DECEMBER 2010 Page 2

•
5. DESIGN OF THE CONCRETE MIX
The concrete shall be provided in accordance with ASTM C-94, Ready Mix Concrete.
A batch ticket shall be provided by the supplier for each load of concrete delivered to the site. The batch
ticket shall state the class of concrete and any admixtures used.
The proportions -of the aggregates shall be such as to produce a concrete mixture that will work readily into
the corners and angles of the forms and around reinforcement when consolidated, but will not segregate or
exude free water during the consolidation.
At least 10 days prior to placement of concrete, the contractor shall furnish a statement of the materials and
mix proportions (including admixtures, if any) to the approving official for approval. The statement shall
include evidence satisfactory to the approving official that the materials and proportions will produce
concrete conforming to this specification. The materials and proportions so stated shall constitute the "job
mix". After a job mix has been approved, neither the source, character or grading of the aggregates nor the
type or brand of cement or admixture shall be changed. If such changes are necessary, no concrete
containing such new or altered materials shall be placed until the project designer has approved a revised
job mix.
6. INSPECTING AND TESTING
During the course of the work, the approving official or designated representative may perform quality
assurance testing. This testing does not relieve the contractor of responsibility of performance of work
according to this specification. The testing personnel shall have free access to the work site to obtain
samples. Any tests and inspections will be conducted so as not to interfere unnecessarily with the
placement of the concrete.
Any portion of the concreting may be tested to determine uniformity, compliance with requirements for
slump and air content, and compressive strength. When a plasticizing admixture is added to the concrete at
the site, slump tests may be made both prior to and after the addition of the admixture.
7. REINFORCING STEEL
Reinforcing steel shall be free of loose rust, oil, grease, paint, or other deleterious coatings. This
may require wire brushing or sandblasting. The contractor is responsible for actual quantity
and length of steel placed. The drawings provide an estimated steel schedule ONLY.
Reinforcement shall be accurately placed and secured in position in a manner that will prevent its
displacement during the placement of concrete. In forms, this shall be accomplished by tying temperature
and shrinkage steel or special tie bars (not stress steel) to the form "snap ties" or by other methods of tying.
In slabs, steel shall be supported by precast concrete bricks, (not clay bricks) metal or plastic chairs. No
welding of either stress steel or temperature and shrinkage steel will be permitted. Except for dowel rods,
placing steel reinforcement into concrete already in place shall not be permitted.
NRCS-NC-CTA DECEMBER 2010 Page 3

The following tolerances will be allowed in the placement of reinforcing bars.
Minimum protective cover:
from formed surfaces - 2 inches
from earth surfaces - 3 inches
2 Maximum variation from indicated spacing:
1/12th of indicated spacing
Unless otherwise indicated on the drawings, splices of reinforcing bars shall provide a lap of not less than
32 diameters of the smaller bar. Bars will not be spliced by welding. Splices of sheets of welded wire
fabric shall be provided by overlapping 3 cross -wires.
8. HANDLING, MIXING, AND DELIVERY
Concrete shall be uniform and thoroughly mixed when delivered to the forms. For concrete mixed at the
site by stationary mixers, the mixing time after all cement, aggregates and water are in the mixer drum
shall be at least 1-112 minutes. When concrete is mixed in a truck mixer, the number of revolutions of the
drum or blades at mixing speed shall not be less than 70 or more than 100. Variations in slump of more
than 1 inch within a batch will be considered evidence of inadequate mixing and shall be corrected by
increasing mixing time or other means.
No mixinq water in excess of the amount called for by the iob mix shall be added to the concrete
during mixing or hauling or after arrival at the delivery point.
9. FORMS
Forms shall be of wood, plywood, steel, or other approved material and shall be mortar tight. The forms
and associated falsework shall be substantial and unyielding and shall be constructed so that the finished
concrete will conform to the specified dimensions and contours. Form surfaces shall be smooth and
essentially free of holes, dents, sags, or other irregularities.
Forms shall be coated with form oil before being set into place, Opposing forms shall be tied together with
commercially produced No. 9 wire "snap" ties for commercially built forms, job built forms, or other
approved form types.
Items to be embedded in the concrete shall be positioned accurately and anchored firmly. Weepholes in
walls or slabs shall be formed with nonferrous materials.
10. PREPARATION OF FORMS AND SUBGRADE
All concrete structures shall be set on compacted drainfill, undisturbed soil or non -yielding re -compacted
material. Drainfill, when specified, shall be placed to the neat lines shown on the drawings.
Over excavation shall be corrected as noted on the drawings or as directed by the project designer or
designated representative.
In the event unexpected water is encountered during foundation preparation, a suitable drainage system
(temporary or permanent) shall be installed as directed or approved by the project designer or designated
representative.
NRCS-NC-CTA DECEMBER 2010 _ - . Page 4

• 0
Prior to placement of drainfill as a base for the concrete structure, the subgrade shall be inspected and
approved by the project designer or designated representative. The drainfill shall be placed in uniform
layers of not more than 8 inches deep prior to compaction. Compaction of each layer of drainfill shall be
by 2 passes over the entire surface layer with a hand directed mechanically powered vibrating plate
compactor or vibratory roller or by an approved equivalent method.
Prior to placement of concrete, the forms and foundation shall be free of chips, sawdust, debris, standing
water, ice, snow, extraneous oil, mortar or other harmful substances or coatings. The temperature of all
o
surfaces, including reinforcing steel, shall be no colder than 40 F. Earth surfaces against which concrete is
to be placed shall be firm and damp. Placement of concrete on mud, dried earth or uncompacted fill or
frozen subgrade will not be permitted.
11. CONVEYING
Concrete shall be placed in the forms within 1-112 hours after the introduction of cement to the aggregate
unless an approved set -retarding admixture is used in the mix. The subgrade shall be dampened
immediately prior to concrete placement.
In hot weather or under conditions contributing to quick stiffening of the concrete, or when the temperature
Q
of the concrete is 85 F or above, the time between the introduction of the cement to the aggregates and
discharge shall not exceed 45 minutes (use of an approved set -retarder will generally restore allowable hot
weather placement time to approximately 1-1/2 hours; however, actual time limits will depend upon the type
and amount of set -retarder used and on actual weather conditions).
Superplasticized concrete can be conveyed and placed when the temperature of the concrete is below
90 F (this criterion applies only when the superplasticizer is added at the hatching„plant) and the slump
of the concrete remains within the allowable slump range specified in Section 4 above.
The project designer will allow an appropriate extension of time for concrete placement when the setting
time of the concrete is increased a corresponding amount by the addition of an approved admixture. In
any case, concrete shall be conveyed from the mixer to the forms as rapidly as practicable, by methods
that will prevent segregation of the aggregates or loss of mortar.
12. PLACING
At least 48 hours advance notification of a pendinq concrete placement shall be_girven to provide time for
inspection. Concrete shall not be placed until the subgrade, forms, and steel reinforcement have been
inspected and approved by the project designer or designated representative. No concrete shall be placed
except in the presence of the project designer or designated representative.
The concrete shall be deposited as close as possible to its final position in the forms and shall be worked
into the corners and angles of the forms and around all reinforcement and embedded items in a manner
that prevents segregation of aggregates and excessive laitance.
Concrete placed against sloping surfaces or on sloping subgrades shall start at the lowest elevation and
work upwards to the highest elevation.
Slab concrete shall be placed to design thickness in one continuous layer. Formed wall concrete shall be
placed in horizontal layers not more than 24 inches high. The maximum layer thickness shall be 5 feet if
high range water reducing agents are used. Concrete shall not be dropped more than 5 feet vertically (12
NRCS-NC-CTA DECEMBER 2010 Page 5

feet if high range water reducing agents are used) unless suitable equipment is used to prevent
segregation. Hoppers and chutes, pipes, or "elephant trunks" shall be used to reduce free fall heights.
Immediately after placement, the concrete shall be consolidated by spading and vibrating or spading
and hand tamping to ensure smooth surfaces and dense concrete. Each layer shall be consolidated to
insure monolithic bond with the preceding layer. Excessive vibration which results in segregation of
materials will not be allowed. Vibration will not be used to make the concrete flow in the forms.
If the surface of a layer of concrete in place sets to the degree that it will not flow and merge with the
succeeding layer when spaded or vibrated, the placement of concrete will be discontinued and a
construction joint will be made.
If placing is discontinued when an incomplete horizontal layer is in place, the unfinished end of the layer
shall be formed by a vertical bulkhead.
13. CONSTRUCTION JOINTS
Construction joints shall be made at the locations shown on the drawings. if construction joints are needed
which are not shown on the drawings, they shall be placed in locations approved by the project designer or
designated representative.
Steel tying and form construction adjacent to concrete in place shall not be started until the concrete has
cured at least 12 hours. Before new concrete is deposited on or against concrete that has hardened, the
forms shall be re -tightened. New concrete shall not be placed until the hardened concrete has cured at
least 12 hours.
Surfaces of construction joints shall be cleaned of all unsatisfactory concrete, laitance, coatings or debris
by washing and scrubbing with a wire brush or wire broom or by other means approved by the project
designer or designated representative.
Surfaces shall be kept moist for at least 1 hour prior to placement of the new concrete.
14. EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION JOINTS
Expansion and contraction joints shall be made only at locations shown on the drawings.
Expansion joints shall be free of mortar and concrete. Preformed expansion joint filler shall be held
firmly in the correct position as the concrete is placed. Joint filler shall be left exposed for its full length
with clean and true edges.
Contraction or "control" joints shall be formed in fresh concrete either by hand -tooling or by saw -cutting.
Joints shall be formed as soon as is practical after concrete finishing, but in no case later than 8 hours after
concrete has been placed, unless approved by the project designer. Control joints in slabs shall be formed
to a depth of 114 of the slab thickness. Control joints in walls and curbs shall be formed to a depth of 118 of
the wall thickness on each side.
If specified, horizontal and/or vertical joints shall be sealed with a suitable joint sealer after the
concrete has thoroughly hardened, according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
MRCS-NC-CTA DECEMBER 2010 Page 6

15. WATERSTOPS
Waterstops shall be held firmly in the correct position as the concrete is placed. Joints in metal water
stops shall be soldered, brazed, or welded. Joints in rubber or plastic waterstops shall be cemented,
welded, or vulcanized, as recommended by the manufacturer.
16. REMOVAL OF FORMS
Forms shall not be removed before the following minimum time intervals.
Concrete Item Time
Beam bottom forms and temporary supports 14 days

Columns 7 days
Bearing walls (with side or vertical load) 24 hrs.
Non -bearing walls (with no side or vertical load) 24 hrs.
Sides of beams and ground slabs_ 24.hrs._
Forms shall be removed in such a way as to prevent damage to the concrete. Supports shall be removed
in a manner that will permit the concrete to take the stresses due to its own weight uniformly and
gradually.
17. FINISHING FORMED SURFACES
Immediately after the removal of forms:
a. All fins and irregular projections shall be removed from the exposed concrete surfaces.
b. Where holes were produced on the surfaces by the removal of form ties, cone -bolts, or she -bolts, and
where minor areas of the concrete surface are "honeycombed," the areas shall be cleaned, wetted and filled
with a dry pack mortar consisting of 1 part portland cement, 3 parts sand that will pass a No. 16 sieve, and
just sufficient water to produce a consistency such that the filling is at the point of becoming rubbery when
the material is solidly packed.
18. FINISHING UNFORMED SURFACES
All exposed surfaces of the concrete shall be accurately screeded to grade to provide positive drainage and
to prevent "bird baths" from forming. Excessive floating or troweling of surfaces while the concrete is soft
will not be permitted.
In areas not subject to cattle or vehicular traffic, concrete surfaces shall be provided with a broom finish. In
areas subject to cattle or vehicular traffic, concrete shall be provided with a grooved finish. Grooving shall
consist of 3-5" c-c spacing x 1/2-3/4" wide x 1/4-3/8" deep grooves.
The addition of dry cement or water to the surface of screeded concrete to expedite finishing will not
be allowed. Joints and edges on surfaces that will be exposed to view shall be uniformly chamfered
or finished with a molding tool.

19. CURING
Concrete shall be prevented from drying for at least 7 days after it is placed. Exposed surfaces shall be kept
moist during this period by fog spraying or by covering with continuously moistened canvas, burlap, straw,
sand or other approved material unless the exposed surfaces are sprayed with a curing compound. Forms
left in place during the curing period shall be kept wet.
Concrete, except at construction joints, may be coated with a curing compound in lieu of continued
application of moisture. The compound shall be sprayed on moist concrete surfaces as soon as free water
has disappeared but shall not be applied to any surface until patching, repairs and finishing of that surface
are completed.
Curing compound shall be white pigmented and applied in a uniform layer over all surfaces requiring
protection at a rate of not less than 1 gallon per 150 square feet.
Curing compound shall not be applied to surfaces requiring bond to subsequently placed concrete or joint
sealer, such as construction and control joints, shear plates, reinforcing steel and other embedded items. If
control joints are formed prior to the placement of curing compound, care shall be taken not to spray
compound in the groove.
If the curing compound membrane is damaged during the curing period, including being exposed to
heavy rain or running water within 3 hours of application, the damaged area shall be re -sprayed at the
rate of application specified above.
Surfaces covered by the membrane shall not be trafficked unless protected from wear.
20. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT REPAIR
Major areas of concrete that are "honeycombed" shall be cleaned, reformed, placed and cured.
21. CONCRETING IN COLD WEATHER
Concrete shall not be mixed or placed when the daily atmospheric temperature is less than 40°F unless
facilities are provided to prevent the concrete from freezing. The use of accelerators or antifreeze
compounds will not be permitted.
The temperature of the concrete at the time of placing shall not be less than 50°F and shall be
maintained at temperatures not less than 40°F for a period of 3 days.
Concrete placement will not be permitted between November 15 and April 1 unless procedures for
cold weather concreting are provided. Such procedures include:
a. Use of warm '(50°F or more) concrete
b. Adequate protection from the weather - including the use of artificial heat to prevent the temperature of
the concrete from falling below 40°F for a period of 3 days.
Regardless, concrete placement will not be permitted when the temperature during placement and
the following 24 hours is predicted to fall below 32°F.
NRCS-NC-CTA DECEMBER 2010 Page 8

22. CONCRETING IN HOT WEATHER
The concrete supplier shall apply effective means to maintain the temperature of concrete below 90°F
during mixing and conveying. Concrete with a temperature above 90OF shall not be placed.
The Contractor shall keep the subgrade (if exposed) and reinforcement cool and damp by fog spray or other
means prior to concrete placement.
Placement times for concreting in hot weather shall be reduced as shown in Section 11.
After concrete placement, exposed surfaces shall be continuously moistened by means of fog spray or
otherwise protected from drying during the time between placement and finishing and after finishing. If
concrete is placed during hot and windy weather, the project designer may require use of an Evaporation
Retardant prior to finishing and curing.
During periods of hot weather, the Contractor shall schedule concrete placement early in the day and/or
reduce placement sizes, to avoid concrete placement in the mid -day heat, and to possibly avoid some of
the special requirements listed above.
23. BACKFILLING NEW CONCRETE WALLS
Backfilling and compaction of fill adjacent to new concrete walls shall not begin in less than 14 days after
placement of the concrete. If backfilling,can be accomplished on both sides of the wall simultaneously,
then it shall not begin in less than 7 days after placement of the concrete.
Heavy equipment will not be allowed within 3 feet of a new concrete wall. Provide Compaction within 3
feet of the wall by means of hand tamping or small hand directed power equipment.
The backfill material shall meet the requirements and gradation as shown on the drawings or as specified
in Section 26. The backfill shall be placed in uniform layers of not more than 8 inches deep prior to
compaction. Compaction of each layer of backfill shall be by 2 passes over the entire surface layer with a
vibrating plate manually directed power compactor or by an approved equivalent method.
24. STRUCTURES INSTALLED ACCORDING TO STANDARD DETAIL DRAWINGS PREPARED BY OTHERS
Structures shall be installed exactly as shown on the Standard Detail Drawings approved by NRCS. Two
copies of the drawings and specifications for each project shall be provided to NRCS prior to construction.
All materials furnished and installed shall conform to the quality and grade noted on the drawings and

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 30-22
Davie County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. MR], IRR2, DRY], DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571.

Additional Information Request
Blackwelder Farms
Animal Waste Operation
Davie County
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application. Additional
information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by November 4, 1999:
1. The WUP submitted calculates the amount of nitrogen produced in one year. However, it appears that the
WUP uses a two-year crop rotation on some fields (corn -small grain -soybeans). Your WUP should be
revised so that the nitrogen produced and the nitrogen utilized by crops is calculated for the same time
period. Some options for revising the WUP include: calculating the amount of nitrogen produced for a two-
year period of time; revising your WUP to show waste utilization for Year One and Year Two of the two-
year rotation in separate tables; or showing a two- year crop rotation with corn and soybeans on half the
acreage from each field. Please contact your technical specialist for help with this.
2. Best Management Practices (BMPs) that are to be implemented at this facility should be identified (check
the appropriate BMPs) on the Insect Control Checklist and on the Odor Control Checklist (enclosed).
Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. Please
reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be signed,
sealed, and submitted in duplicate'to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this letter must be
submitted on or before November 4, 1999 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A
N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit.
Please be advised that operation of the subject animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and will subject you to the enforcement authority of the Environmental Management
Commission.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please call me at [phone], extension 364.

SUBJECT: Notice of Violation
Designation of Operator in Charge
Blackwelder Farms
Facility Number 30--22
Davie County
You were notified by letter dated December 5, 1996, that you were required to designate a certified animal waste
management system operator as Operator in Charge for the subject facility by January 1, 1997. Enclosed with that
letter was an Operator in Charge Designation Form specifically for your" facility, Instructions for Completing
Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator, and an Application for
Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator. Our records indicate that these
completed Forms have not yet been returned to our office.
As was explained in the previous letter, a training and certification program is not yet available for animal waste
management systems involving cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry (with a liquid waste system). Therefore owners of
these systems were allowed to request that they be issued temporary certifications until December 31, 1997. All that
was required to receive this temporary certification was the completion of the Application Form.
For you convenience, we are sending you additional copies of the Operator in Charge Designation Form specifically
foryouur faci_lity,_Instructions_for. Completing .Application -for Temporary .Certification -as an Animal Waste
Management System Operator, and an Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management
System Operator. Please return this completed Form to this office as soon as possible but in no case later than April
25, 1997. This office maintains a list of certified operators in your area if you need assistance in locating a certified
operator.
Please note that failure to designate an Operator in Charge of your animal waste management system, is a violation
of N.C.G.S. 90A-47,2 and you will be assessed a civil penalty unless an appropriately certified operator is designated.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as absolving you of the responsibility and liability for
any past or future violations for your failure to designate an appropriate Operator in Charge by January 1, 1997.
If you have questions concerning this matter, please contact our Technical Assistance and Certification Group at
[phone].

I.

Davie County
In accordance with State Regulations (15A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1)(E)) adopted by the Environmental
Management Conunission on February 1, 1993, the owner of the subject facility was required to submit a
Certification Form for the facility's animal waste management system by December 31, 1997.
,This letter is to advise you that this office has no record of having received the required Certification for
the subject facility. Please provide this office with an explanation as to why this Certification was not -
subnvtted as required. This explanation must be received within 30 days following the receipt of this letter.
Any existing facility owner which did not submit the required certification by the deadline is no longer
deemed permitted to operate their animal waste management system. Therefore, if the certification was not
submitted as required and the facility is still in operation, this facility is being operated without a valid
permit. N.C.G.S. 143-215.6(b) allows the Secretary of the'Department of Environment and Natural
Resources to take appropriate enforcement actions for this violation for as long as the violation continues.
As per Senate Bill-1217, which was ratified on June 21-1996—tile Environmental -Management
Commission (EMC) may enter into a special agreement with facilities that did not meet the December 31,
1997 deadline. These special agreements can only be issued to facility owners which signed up for assistance
with their local Soil and Water Conservation District Office by September 1, 1996 and which can
demonstrate that they made a good faith effort to meet the December 31, 1997 deadline. The special
agreement, if issued, would contain a specific schedule for the facility to follow to develop and/or implement
an approved animal waste management plan. Attached is an application for a special agreement between the
EMC and the subject facility. If you can demonstrate that this facility can meet the conditions for a special

Subject: Operator In Charge Designation
Facility: Blackwelder Farms
Facility ID M 30-22
Davie County
Dear Mr. Blackwelder:
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_Buffmgton or_Barry_Huneycutt at.9191.733-0026.
Sincerely,
