SUBJECT: Waste Storage Pond Closure
William F. Seats Dairy, #30-30
Forsyth County
Dear Mr. Allen:
Our office has received and reviewed the results of an inactive waste storage pond evaluation performed by the
Davie County NRCS/SWCD on the structure once owned by the late William F. Seats. This evaluation was performed at
your request to determine if any animal waste remained in the bottom of the waste storage pond after closure.
As discussed during our site visit of March 28, 2002, the proper procedure for closure of an animal waste storage
structure should include the following steps: 1.) Obtaining a "Closure Plan" written by a technical specialist, which
outlines in detail, how the closure is to be completed according to the NRCS standard (4360); 2.) Removal of the liquid
and solid waste from the structure; 3.) Land application of the nutrient containing waste to a receiving crop at an
agronomic rate; 4.) Verification of the application rate through a waste analysis and application records: 5.) Inspection of
the site for adequate removal of waste from the bottom of the structure; 6.) Filling the pit, grading, and seeding the
disturbed areas of land; and 7.) Submittal of a completed closure form to the Division of Water Quality.
One of the purposes for closing a structure according to NRCS standards is to protect the quality of surface water
and groundwater resources. The objective is "to remove waste materials, to the maximum extent practical, from a
structure prior to closure." While the evaluation data shows that not all the waste material was removed (hole #3), it is our
determination that most of the material was removed prior to closure. Per discussion with Non -Discharge Compliance and
Enforcement staff in Raleigh, and in light of your unique ownership situation, it is the Division's decision not to pursue
enforcement action regarding closure of the waste storage structure in question.
The Winston-Salem Regional office also appreciates your willingness to cooperate with us on our investigation
and your timeliness in requesting the waste storage pond evaluation from the Davie County NRCS/SWCD. Should you
have additional questions regarding this matter, please contact me at 336.771.4600.

Regional OffiCe
Mr. Allen,
On April 10, 2002 you received a letter from Division of Water Quality, Winston
Salem Regional Office and contacted. our office for assistance with the inactive waste
storage pond of the late William F. Seats. On May 9, 2002 Don Redmond, NRCS Soil
Conservation Technician, and I visited the farm to field investigate if any animal waste
remained on the bottom of the storage pond.
After reviewing Mr. Seat's design of the waste storage pond (wsp) we determined
location and depth of wsp. The wsp was constructed and completed September 1984,
with a constructed bottom elevation of 88.0 and did not meet plans and specifications.
During our field investigation using the wsp drawing we relocated the bottom. We
bored three (3) holes with a soils auger to determine if any waste remained on the
bottom.,. See attached drawing for location of wsp and auger boring. Our findings are as
follows:
Hole #1--Depth 90.0 boring was difficult because of rock, broken concrete and small
pieces of wood. We did not get to bottom because material in auger hole.
Hole #2--Depth 88.3 we'were able to get to constructed elevation (88.0) with no
evidence of animal waste.
Hole #3--Depth 87.4 we were able to get 0.3 below constructed bottom (88.0). There
was approximately 6 inches of dried animal waste near the bottom.
We appreciate the opportunity to assist you. Thanks for taking the time to meet with
us at the farm. If you have any questions, give us a call.
Sincerely,
Timothy R. Latham

SUBJECT: Inactive Lagoon Evaluation Follow-up
William Seats Farm, #30-30
Davie County
Dear Mr. And Mrs. Allen:
Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross Jr.. Secretary
North Carolina Dent of Environment and Natural Resources
Gregory J. Thorpe, Ph.D.
Acting Director
Division of Water Quality
April 9, 2002
The purpose of this letter is to summarize the findings of a compliance inspection performed March 28,
2002 at the dairy farm once owned by Mr. William Seats. Staff of the Division of Water Quality -Winston-
Salem Regional Office (DWQ-WSRO), along with the Davie Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD)
performed an inspection at your farm as a follow-up to an "Inactive Lagoon Evaluation" inspection conducted
in 1997. A copy of the 2002 inspection report is enclosed for your review.
On the date of the inspection, DWQ Staff observed that the waste storage pond had been filled in,
graded level, and seeded with fescue. While there were no obvious water quality impacts on the date of the
inspection, our office is concerned that the waste storage pond may not have been properly closed out per
Article 21 of the North Carolina General Statutes. Our files indicate that a "Closure Plan" was not followed nor
was the removal and land application of the waste liquids and sludge at agronomic rates verified by a Technical
Specialist. Inforination gathered during the March 2002 inspection, however, suggests that waste from the waste
storage pond was indeed agitated and land applied on fescue pasture grass. The solids were reportedly scraped -
out later and also land applied onto the fescue crop. Closure of the structure was completed in 2001 (see
attached inspection form).
While no written or photographic verification appears to exist regarding the proper closure of this
structure, you may wish to contact the Davie SWCD regarding possible field techniques to test and/or document
the removal of waste solids from the area. We encourage you to contact their office at 336.751.5011 for further
technical assistance. If you have any questions regarding this correspondence, please contact me at
336, 771.4600.

Melissa,
During round one of the inactives, I looked at a William Seats WSP in
Davie County (30-30). At the time, there were beef cows on the lot so I
left it on the active list. I was checking with the FO today about the
new list and some of the repeats and was told that Mr. Seats died in the
last and someone has closed that WSP. It was recommended that someone
check into it as there was no assistance requested of the FO. Harold
Seats is Mr. Seats son and could probably tell you who owns that land
now.

Dear William Seats:
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
PoultrX with a liquid waste system 30,000
If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sue Homewood of our staff

SUBJECT: Notice of Violation
Designation of Operator in Charge
William Seats Farm
Facility Number 30--30
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
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

Subject: Operator In Charge Designation
Facility: William Seats Farm
Facility ID #: 30-30
Davie County
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 Buffington or Barry Huneycutt at 91gn33-0026.
Sincerely,
