Subject: Removal of Registration Winston-Salem
Facility Number 34-6 Regional Office
Forsyth 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 .02I7, 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
Poulta
30,000
If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sue Homewood of our staff at
[phone] ext 502.

Dear Mr. Snyder:

Subject: Operator In Charge Designation
Facility: Lary Snyder Farm
Facility ID #: 34-6
Forsyth County
N.C.CAC: ca EHNRI
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.

was then observed to be entering the South Fork of Muddy Creek. Photographs and samples were
taken to document the discharge.
In accordance with the requirements of NCAC 2H .0213, you are hereby given notice that sixty
(60) days following your receipt of this letter, the Division of Environmental Management intends
to revoke your permit unless the following conditions are completed:
1. immediately eliminate the'. discharge of wastewater or correct the violation.

land apply your animal waste in an environmentally acceptable manner. To assist you in the
development of this plan and to provide the required certification that the plan is acceptable, yot
should contact your local agricultural agencies such as the Soil and Water Conservation Distric:
the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service, the North Carolina Cooperative Extension
Service or a technical specialist designated pursuant to the rules adopted by the Soil and Water

SUBJECT: Revocation of Deemed Permitted Status
Larry Snyder Dairy Farm
Facility No. 34--6
Forsyth County
Attached is a Notice of Intent to Revoke Deemed Permit Status letter for the Directors
signature (Attachment No. 11 from the animal operations shell documents). An inspection of
the Snyder dairy was conducted on November 6, 1995. The inspection found a direct discharge
of animal waste into the surface waters (See attached photographs). Manure scraped from the
holding pen area was flowing like a glacier off the concrete storage pad and into the adjacent
ditch. Discharges from this dairy cannot be prevented without significant improvements to the
dilapidated facility, Prior to running Allan Smith and me off the scrape pad with his tractor, Mr.
Snyder indicated that he would be going out of business a year from now.
Please advise if WSRO should go ahead and prepare a fast track enforcement report for
this illegal discharge (DD or attachment No. 13) or wait 60 days (after the Notice of Violation
Ietter is received) to reevaluate the facility and see if compliance with the animal regulations is
achieved.
Give me a call if you have any questions.
