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 .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 $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 he required to receive approval 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
