Dear Thurman Cook;
During the 1999 session, the North Carolina General Assembly passed a law directing the North
Carolina Department of Environment of Natural Resources (DENR) to develop an inventory and
ranking of all inactive lagoons and storage ponds in the State. In order to meet this directive, a
representative of DENR has recently evaluated the inactive lagoon(s) and/or storage pond(s) on your
property. Inactive lagoons and storage ponds were defined by the Statute as structures which were
previously used to store animal waste but have not received waste for at least one year.
The information collected on your property is contained in the attached field data sheets. Using
this field data, staff ranked your inactive waste structures as high, medium or low according to its
potential risk for polluting surface and/or groundwater. Your waste structure(s) was ranked as
follows:
Structure Number Surface Area (Acres) Rankin
1 0.16 Medium
This ranking is based in part on the conditions existing on the day of the site visit. Changes in
these conditions or the collection and evaluation of additional data may modify the ranking of your
waste structure(s) in the future.
Information on your facility along with over 1000 others contained in the inventory has been
provided to the General Assembly. During this year's session, the General Assembly will consider
additional requirements for future management of these structures which may include requiring
proper closure of inactive lagoons and storage ponds according to current or alternative standards.

Inactive Waste Lagoons and Storage Ponds
Animal Waste Management System
Page 2
Regardless of their ranking, owners of all waste lagoons and storage ponds have certain
management responsibilities. These include taking appropriate actions to eliminate current
discharges, prevent future discharges and to insure the stability of their structures. Staff of the
Division of Water Quality will be in contact with owners of all inactive structures that have been
determined to pose a serious environmental risk, based on its ranking and/or additional field data
collected by the Department.
All liquids and waste removed from these structures must be land applied at a rate not to exceed
the agronomic needs of the receiving crops. Any major modifications made to the dike walls or
structure must be done in accordance with current standards and under the direction of a technical
specialist designated for structural design. Your local Soil and Water Conservation District is an
excellent source for information and guidance related to proper waste.application practices, structure
operation and maintenance, and other related animal waste management standards and/or
requirements.
Nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility and liability for
any past or future discharges from your lagoon(s)'and/or storage pond(s) or for any violations of
surface water or groundwater quality standards.
Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in this process. If you have questions concerning
your inactive structures, please contact the staff of either in the Division of Water Quality or the
Division of Soil and Water,Conservation in the Winston-Salem Regional Office at [phone].
Sincerely,
Larry Coble

SUBJECT: Notice of Violation
Inactive Animal Waste Storage Evaluation
Thurman Cook Farm #17-9001
Caswell County
Dear Mr. Cook:
The purpose of this letter is to summarize the findings of your inactive swine
lagoon evaluation on January 24, 2000. The evaluation was performed by Warren
Mincey of the Caswell Soil and Water Conservation District and Daphne Cartner of the
Division of Soil and Water Conservation.
On the date of the evaluation it was found that the lagoon had inadequate
freeboard and was in fact was spilling over. This poses an immediate threat to the
environment due to the potential for discharge to surface waters of the State. Please
note that, in this region of the state, you must have a minimum of 18 inches of extra
storage in your lagoon at all times.
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(a)
and could subject you to civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day per violation. This
means that you could be subject to this penalty even if the waste storage structure is
inactive or the farm is below certifiable threshold numbers.
A follow-up inspection is to be performed by the Division of Water Quality in
several weeks to assure that the waste liquid has been reduced to an acceptable level.
Should you be interested in closing out your lagoon, please contact Warren Mincey at
[phone].
The Winston-Salem Regional Office appreciates your cooperation in this
matter. If you have questions regarding this Notice, please contact Melissa Rosebrock
or myself at (336) 77I-4608.
Sincerely,
Larry D. Coble
Water Quality Supervisor

The guy with the one flowing Monday is Thurman Cook 5704 NC Hwy 86
South, Yanceyville, NC 27379 336-694-4868. The farm is at the end of
Cook Rd off 86.
The one that was close was Ronald Daniel 215 Daniel's Dairy Rd, Blanch
NC 27212---the farm is off Crumpton Rd. It is back of the road there is
another just off Crumpton Rd that has a little more free board.
Have fun with them.
