Randolph County
Dear Mr. Wall:
This letter hereby rescinds Certificate of Coverage (COC) Number AWS760039, issued November 10, 2000. This
COC was issued in error. We are rescinding the COC in accordance with 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 coverage under the Swine Waste Operation General Permit.
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 $25,000 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 receive approval (new COC or individual permit) from the Division of Water Quality prior to
stocking animals to that level. Threshold numbers of animals are as follows:
Swine
250
Confined Cattle
100
Horses
75
Sheep
1,000
Poultry with a liquid wastes stem
30,000
If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sue Homewood of our staff at

Sonya,
Mr. Wall from Fac # 76-39 says he sent a 'request to be removed' for his
farm through Don Friday. I checked the Compliance DB and it has the
request to be removed checkbox checked. The confirmation box is not
checked. Mr. Wall got the annual bill from Fran which has Mr. Wall
worried. He wants to know what he has to do to get off the list
completely. Could you please call him at 336-622-4810 to clarify this
matter.
Thank you in advance.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 76-39
Randolph County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
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.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRRI, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. 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.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571. —

Subject: Second request for Status Update '
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan
Athena Farms
Facility Number: 76-24
Randolph County
In accordance with State Regulations (15A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1)(E)) adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission on February 1, 1993, the owner of the subject facility was required to submit a
Certification Form for the facility's animal waste management system by December 31, 1997.
In a letter dated February 11, 1998, received by you on February 20, 1998, this office advised you that
we had no record of having received the required Certification for the subject facility. Our letter further
requested that you provide this office with an explanation as to why this Certification was not submitted as
required. This explanation was due by March 22, 1998. To date we have received no response from you.
Any existing facility owner which did not submit the required certification by the deadline is no longer
deemed permitted to operate their animal waste management system. Therefore, if the certification was not
submitted as required and the facility is still in operation, this facility is being operated without a valid
permit. N.C.G.S. 143-215.6(b) allows the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources to take appropriate enforcement actions for this violation for as long as the violation continues.
As per Senate Bill 1217, which was ratified on June 21, 1996, the Environmental Management
Commission (EMC) may enter into a special agreement with facilities that did not meet the December 31,
1997 deadline. These special agreements can only be issued to facility owners which signed up for assistance
with their local Soil and Water Conservation District Office by September 1, 1996 and which can
demonstrate that they made a good faith effort to meet the December 31, 1997 deadline. The special
agreement, if issued, would contain a specific schedule for the facility to follow to develop and/or implement
an approved animal waste management plan. Attached is an application for a special agreement between the
EMC and the subject facility. If you can demonstrate that this facility can meet the conditions for a special
agreement, you may send this request along with your explanation as to why the plan has not been developed
and implemented.
