Advance NC 27006
LOCATION: From I-40 exit NC hwy 801 north two tenths of a mile to Yadkin
Valley road on the right. Continue approximately 3 miles to Double A Trail
on the left. Farm is at end of drive. Farm is located along Sheek Creek
which flows to the Yadkin River.
GENERAL
The closed dairy is located in the Yadkin Valley community of Davie County.
The dairy was closed in 1997. The waste storage pond was constructed in
August, 1982 for 100 dairy cows. The farm has not received a notice of
violation from DWQ.
VOLUME TO BE REMOVED
The WSP measures 106' x 48' inside bottom dimensions with depth average
of 8' and top dimension 138' x 80' (25 ac.) Approximately 6' (200,000
gallons) of liquid and solids remain in wsp that will be removed by agitating
and pumping into honey wagon.
Gilmer has received two estimates from contractors for land application of the
waste.

•
NOTE: NRCS or SWCD personnel must be onsits while waste storage
pond is being closed for them to certify the proper closure of the
structure.
SPECIFICATIONS:
The waste storage pond will be agitated, waste pumped into honey wagon
and broadcast onto hayland/pastureland/cropland. An accumulation of
sludge in bottom will be agitated thoroughly by adding water if needed and
pumped. All sludge left in bottom will be removed with a tracked equipment.
The sludge will be removed to a depth as determined at the site by technical
specialist (approximately 0.5' — 2.0') and 3" to 4" inches of clay soil will be
removed. The sludge will be applied with box type spreader.
Once waste storage pond is declared "clean", there are three options for
closing the pond. A pipe can be installed, using no steeper than 1.5:1 side
slopes, backfilled with compacted clay, all disturbed areas vegetated to meet
all requirements of NRCS Standard 378 for Ponds. Or the dam can be taken
down, the pool area filled in and area seeded to permanent vegetation. A
third option would be to breach the dam using 3:1 sideslopes and all
disturbed area vegetated.
Waste storage pond dam will be breeched..
Closure of this operation must be done without any runoff of waste
water. Do not land apply while raining or when ground is saturated.
Avoid applying prior to predicted rain.
It is against the law to allow a discharge into the surface waters of the
state.
All disturbed areas will be vegetated according to NRCS Standards. Seeding
rates:
2 tons lime/acre
1000 Ibs 10-10-10/acre or equivalent
60 Ibs fescue/acre
1 bushel/acre small grain
75% ground cover with small grain mulch
All pipes feeding into waste storage pond will be removed prior to
certification.

LAND APPLICATION OF WASTE
The waste storage pond will be emptied and closed between February and
April 2001. The waste will be applied to cropland/pasturland/hayland. The
application rate will not exceed 24 pounds of nitrogen per acre.
A 25 ft. buffer will be left around fields.
Waste analysis = 2 lbs. PAN/ton (Plant Available Nitrogen)
(See attached waste analysis report dated 10-26-00)

Subject: Rating of Potential Risk
Inactive Waste Lagoons and Storage Ponds
Gilmer Allen
Facility Number 30-13
Davie County
Dear Gilmer Allen;
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 0.27 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].

Larry Coble

Subject: Removal of Registration
Facility Number 30-13
Davie County
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.

SUBJECT: Operation Review Summary
Gilmer Allen Farm W i n s t o n - S a l e m
Facility No.30-13 Regional Office
Davie County
Dear Mr. Allen,
On June 19, an Operation Review was conducted of Gilmer Allen Farm, facility no. 30-13. This Review,
undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-215.1OD, is one of two visits scheduled for all registered livestock
operations during the 1997 calendar year. The Division of Water Quality will conduct a second site inspection.
It was determined that no corrective actions are necessary as the result of this Review, since waste was =
being discharged to the waters of the State, and the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and disposal systems
were maintained and operated under the responsible charge of a designated operator.
Please remember that you are required to obtain and implement an approved animal waste management
plan by the end of this year, and have a certified operator. The plan must be certified by either a designated
technical specialist or a professional engineer. For additional assistance with the plan or the operator certification
course, please contact your local Soil and Water Conservation District Office or local Cooperative Extension
Service Office.
The Division of Soil and Water Conservation appreciates your cooperation with this Operation Review.
Please do not hesitate to call me at 704/663-1699 ext. 277 if you have any questions, concerns or need additional
information. 1 have passed your request for removal on to the Division of Water Quality in Raleigh.

Gilmer Allen
Facility Number 30--13
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 far 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 cornpletion of the Application Form.
For you convenience, we are sending you additional copies of the 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. 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

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 01C.
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 Buffington or Barry Huneycutt at 919n33-0026.
