He did not breech the dam. He went in from the side. He stockpiled all the sand/soil/manure from the bottom, in an area adjacent to the holding pond. This area used to be part of his stock trail to the pasture. So it is high and dry. I told him to cover it, which will keep rain from washing it off. (He plans on selling this stuff.) What can I do, to help them out? Mr. Keck doesn't need any more problems. Should I write a closure plan and begin the -Closure Report form? There may a little more they can get out. But is looked pretty good to me. It was down to clay with just a little left on the north and west side slopes. I will be in meetings on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.

While most of the farm's operations appeared to be in excellent condition and record keeping was improved over last year, there continues to be a concern regarding the waste analysis records. Specifically, Ms. Rosebrock noted that a waste analysis was not performed within 60 days of the June 2001 waste applications. As you are aware, waste samples are to be submitted for analysis within 60 days of all animal waste applications. A review of the waste records also indicates that 2001 soil test analyses have not yet been performed for those fields that received animal waste. These soil samples need to be taken by the end of the calendar year. Please note that waste and soil analysis, once obtained, should be kept for a minimum of three years. Failure to have complete records is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.10C and your Animal Waste Management Permit. The Winston-Salem Regional Office appreciates your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions concerning this Notice, please contact Melissa Rosebrock or me at (336) 771-4600.

Effective 60 days from receipt of this notice, the subject permit is hereby revoked unless the required Annual Animal %Vaste Management System Permit fee for your animal operation is received within that time.

STEVENS Guilford County DIRECTOR Dear Mr, Keck: Melissa Rosebrock of this Office conducted a site inspection at your facility on September 11, 2000, Although the waste handling system and other farm operations appeared in excellent condition, the record keeping system needs improvement. Staff noted that the information in your waste application records was not complete. Specifically, there were no soil analysis records for 1999. Please note that waste and soil records, once obtained, must be kept for a minimum of five years. Additionally, freeboard readings must be taken each week rather than every 15 days. Failure to have the above components available and complete is a violation of your Animal Waste Management Permit. As you know, waste applications should be applied during the time the crop can utilize the nutrients in the waste. In general, waste should be applied no earlier than 30 days prior to planting. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Melissa Rosebrock or myself at (336) 771-4600. �Sincerely, CIA Larry D.

In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.

The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an appropriate enforcement action. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting requirement.

Facility ID #: 41-8 Guilford County t ;rn R 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 Bang Huneycutt at 919/733-0026. Sincerely, FOR Steve W.
