Sophia NC :?3 o Winston-Salem Regional Office Subject. Removai of Registration tEacility Nurnber_76-55= llntiuua�ii �.uuuiy� Dear Warren Robbins: This is to acknowledge receipt of your request that your facility no longer be registered as an active 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 ISA 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 S 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 that require certified animal waste management plans are as follows: Swine 250 Confined Cattle 100 Horses 75 Sheep 1,000 Poultry 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 at (919) 733-5083 ext 502.

Hunt, Jr., Governor Wayne McDevitt, Secretary Steve W. Tedder, Chairman Warren L. Robbins 5825 Branson Davis Road Sophia NC 27350 Dear Mr. Robbins : November 6, 1997 Subject: Operator In Charge Designation RECEWED N.C. Dept. calCHNR NOV 1 0 1997 Winston-Salem ,eeionai Office -Senate Bill 1217, An Act to -Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission on Agricultural Waste, was ratified by the North Carolina General Assembly on June 21, 1996. This bill required that a properly certified operator be designated as the Operator in Charge 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. The deadline for designating an Operator in Charge for animal waste management systems involving cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry was January 1, 1997. Because a training and certification program was not yet available for these systems, you were allowed to apply for and were issued a temporary animal waste management certificate from the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC). Because you applied for and were issued a temporary certificate, you were allowed to be designated as the Operator in Charge of an animal waste management system. Your temporary certificate expires December 31, 1997, and is not renewable. Our records indicate that you have not obtained a permanent animal 'waste management system operator certification. If you intend to remain the Operator in Charge of the facility for which you were designated, you must obtain a permanent animal waste management system operator certification of the appropriate type before your temporary certification expires on December 31, 1997. To obtain a permanent certification, you must be 18 years of age, complete ten hours of approved training, and pass an examination. If you do not intend to remain the Operator in Charge, a properly certified animal waste management system operator must be designated as Operator in Charge of the facility prior to the expiration of your temporary certification. This year's final training program for both Type A and Type B animal waste management systems is scheduled for December 10 and 11, 1997, at the Hunt Horse Complex in Raleigh. If you would like information about this training program, please contact your local cooperative extension agent or call Dee Ann Cooper at 919/515-6968. For those enrolled in this training and registering with Ms. Cooper prior to December 1, an exam will be offered at the Hunt Horse Complex on December 11, beginning at 1:00 pm.
