This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until January 31, 2017 and shall be subject to the
following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The animal waste management system operated under this Permit shall be effectively
maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the discharge of pollutants
to surface waters, wetlands, or ditches. Application of waste to terraces and grassed
waterways is acceptable as long as it is applied in accordance with Natural Resources
Conservation Service (MRCS) Standards and does not result in a discharge of waste to
surface waters, wetlands, or ditches. If the Facility has a discharge of waste that reaches
surface waters or wetlands resulting from a storm event more severe than a 25-year, 24-
hour storm, it will not be considered to be in violation of this Permit, as long as the
Facility is in compliance with its CAWMP and this Permit.
2. No discharge of waste shall result in a violation of the water quality standards established
for receiving waters as per Title 15A, Subchapter 213, Section .0200 of the North Carolina
Administrative Code (NCAC) and Title ISA, Subchapter 2L of the NCAC.
The facility's CAWMP is hereby incorporated by reference into this Permit. The
CAWMP must be consistent with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances, and standards
(federal, state and local) in effect at the time of siting, design, and certification of the
Facility.
4. Any proposed increase or modification to the annual average that exceeds the thresholds
set by North Carolina General Statues (NCGS) 143-215.1013(1) will require a
modification to the CAWMP and the Permit prior to modification of the Facility.
5. Animal waste shall not be applied within one hundred (100) feet of any well, with the
exception of monitoring wells. The allowable distance to monitoring wells shall be

production.
4. Land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land
application rates exceed the agronomic rate of the nutrient of concern for the receiving
crop. In no case shall land application rates result in excessive ponding or any runoff
during any given application event.
5. If manure or sludges are applied on conventionally tilled, bare soil, the waste shall be
incorporated into the soil within two (2) days after application on the land. This
requirement does not apply to no -till fields, pastures, or fields where crops are actively

Hi Melissa,
Here is the spreader calibration. It is done with excel. Please let me know if you get it ok or if I need to resend it or send it
another way. Will I need to send the bullet points to you so you can pass them on one of the ones you sent copies of your
email to or just contact one of them? Also because there will be changes on my farm for the next several years that may affect a
waste plan, who'might be best to handle changes? Hope you know what I mean.
Thank you

Melissa,
Loflin: we've planned thru EQTP w/ him to release that water out into a
system that will be similar to that of a "septic system" Graveled areas
will be larger 1 think that traditional systems for septic. The milk
"clogging"..well, who knows. Don't think we will be dealing w/ PURE mile.
This is in the early stages of our "design".. time will tell.

Hey Barton,
Wayne told me yesterday that he is installing a septic system to handle
the milk -bottle wash waste, is this correct? You may have mentioned
this to me but my memory failed met Does he need approval from the
county health dept. ?? Seems like the milk waste would clog the tail
lines??

Dear Mr. Loflin:
On April 17, 2003, you were sent a Notice of Violation for having high freeboard in your

actually had more than nineteen inches, this Notice of Violation is hereby retracted and has been

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you. If you have any questions, please

and/or a requirement to apply for coverage under an individual permit. The action chosen will
be based on complete evaluation of all factors that resulted in the inadequate freeboard; the
actions taken to restore the needed freeboard; and the actions being proposed to prevent the
problem from reoccurring.
To assistus in our review, please provide the Winston-Salem Regional Office with an
evaluation of the reasons for the freeboard violation(s) and a strategy to prevent future freeboard
violation(s). This evaluation and strategy must include but is not limited to the following:

Additional Information Request
Loflin Dairy
Animal Waste Operation
Randolph County
Dear Mr. Loflin:
After completing a preliminary engineering review of your application in early September, I
contacted your technical specialist Mr. Barton Roberson at NRCS regarding an amendment to your
current waste utilization plan, in that call he stated that he would make the plan change and mail it to me.
Later, in a phone call dated September 13, 2000, Mr. Roberson said that he had completed the
amendment and would have you sign the corrected waste utilization plan. However, I have not received
this amended waste utilization plan. This additional information is required before we can continue our
review.
In order to assure that you are personally contacted regarding this minor correction to your
current waste utilization,plan, I am sending you this additional information request. Could you please
address the following by January 19, 2001:
The initial issue brought up to Mr. Roberson, was that your manure was described as a
solid in Tons, rather than as a liquid, in gallons. This discrepancy appeared to be
important since you apply the manure with a honeywagon, and not a spreader. This was
going to be corrected by Mr. Roberson when we spoke earlier. Can you please verify
whether this was done?
The following items are deficiencies noted as I continued my review:
2. Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) states that you have 180 days of temporary storage
this appears incorrect, since your supporting waste storage tank documents and certified
storage volume show that you have 124,580 cubic feet of storage available. In order to
have 180 days of storage, our calculations show that you would need to provide 161,471
cubic feet of storage. Please have your technical specialist review your WUP and address
this issue.

3. Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) is missing the required specifications numbered 10
through 23. It appears that you did not copy those pages. Please review your farm copy
to find these missing pages. The required specifications begins on page 9 of your current
WUP.
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 January 19, 2001 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.

SUBJECT: Notice of Violation
Compliance Inspection
Loflin Dairy, #76-23
Randolph County
Dear Mr. Loflin:
WINSTON-SALEM REGIONAL OFFICE
I
The purpose of this letter is to summarize the findings of your compliance
inspection conducted November 7, 2000. Melissa Rosebrock of the Division of Water
Quality Winston-Salem Regional Office performed the inspection. While the storage
capacity in your waste storage pond is more than adequate and the waste application
records were excellent, there is another issue that warrants your attention.
On the date of the inspection, Ms. Rosebrock noted a 2 to 3 inch PVC pipe
coming from the area of the upright silo next to the barn and discharging into a drainage
ditch. There was past evidence of wash water or "gray water" in the ditch, which was
confirmed to have come from the washing machine and a sink in the home. This drainage
ditch, containing domestic and silage wastewater, ultimately discharges in Bob Branch,
Class WS-ZV* waters, of the Cape Fear River Basin. Although on the date of the
inspection there was no discharge flowing, the current situation allows for the potential
discharge to surface waters of the State. Please be advised that the non -permitted
discharge of any type of wastewater to the waters of the State is illegal as per North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and could subject you to civil penalties of up to
$25,000 per day per violation. Should you have questions regarding how to initiate the
connection of the wash and sink water to a septic system, please contact the Randolph
County Health Department at (336) 318-6261 for assistance. For assistance regarding the
control of the silage wastewater discharge, please contact the Randolph County Soil and
Water Conservation District office at (336) 318-6490.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 76-23
Randolph 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.
