During the 1999 session, the North Carolina General Assembly passed a law directing the
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural -Resources (DENR) to develop an
inventory and ranking of all inactive lagoon's 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 0.51 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 Iagoons and storage,ponds according to current or alternative
standards. 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
