Tony,
Thanks for your email. I don't think there will be a problem with the second sample being a few days
outside of the 60-day application window. For me, personally,. as long as it's only out by 1-2 weeks I'm
ok. Rocky, how about you?

Hey Folks, This is a follow-up to a conversation with Melissa on Monday, The waste sample for
Mountain View Dairy may miss the sixty day window by a few days when it is checked. There was a
sample taken before Melissa came as noted in her report, Jerry called me about this because he had not
heard from it. I can not find the sample anywhere, my advice was to get another sample taken and as
you know it has been no weather to agitate and pump until this week and the pond has been agitated
well and we know that this sample has been sent to the correct place. I hope that this is not a problem
and that you know we could have taken a sample without agitation but it would have not been
accurate. Please advise me if there should be any other action or if I can be of assistance to you. Tony

Subject: Notice of Violation
Animal Operation Site Inspection
Mountain View Dairy, Facility # 86-18
Surry County
ar Mr. Lawrence:
DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY
WINSTON-SALEM REGIONAL OFFICE
Melissa Rosebrock of this Office conducted a site inspection at your facility on
A 10, 2000. Tony Davis of the Surry Soil and Water Conservation District was also
ent for the inspection. AIthough the'storage capacity in the pond was adequate on
date, there are other concerns that warrant your attention.
Staff noted that the information in your records was not complete. Specifically, a
soil analysis was not performed for year1999. In addition, a waste analysis was not
performed within 60 days of land application during October 1999. Please note that
waste and soil analysis, once obtained, should be kept for a minimum of five years.
Failure to have complete records is a violation of North Carolina General Statute
143-215.10C.
Additionally, a small tree needs to be cut off the dam of the storage pond. While the
presence of vegetative growth was not causing an immediate threat to the environment,
its continued growth could eventually compromise the integrity of the dam. Finally,
several groundhog holes were also noted on the south side of the dam. These need to be
repaired as soon as possible so that the integrity of the dam, again, is not compromised.
Should you have questions concerning this matter, please contact Melissa
Rosebrock or myself at [phone].

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 86-18
Surry 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. IRR1, IRR2, DRY], 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.

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.
This letter is to advise you that this office has no record of having received the required Certification for
the subject facility. Please provide this office with an explanation as to why this Certification was not
submitted as required. This explanation must be received within 30 days following the receipt of this letter.
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
subnutted 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. This request would also be due within 30 days from receipt of this letter.

Dear Mr. Lawrence:
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 919n33-0026.
Sincerely,
FOR

Farm Waste Management Systems
Discharge of Wastewater Without A Permit
Facility Number 86-18
Surry County
Dear Mr. Lawrence:
On November 14, 1995, Allan Smith of the Division of Environmental Management
(DEM) inspected your farm's animal waste facilities, accompanied by a representative of the
Surry County Natural Resources Conservation Service. The inspection was conducted in
order to determine the waste handling capabilities of your cattle operation.
During the inspection it was noted that the lagoon was losing animal wastes over the
top of the lagoon dam at its low -point. The lagoon needs to be pumped down or emptied. It
is understood that the farm tries to empty the lagoon at least twice per year but pumps out
wastes whenever it is feasible. Emptying waste from the lagoon should be incorporated into
your farm's management plant so that at least 18 inches of freeboard is kept on a regular
basis. This amount of freeboard will protect you from the 25 year-24 hour storm event which
could cause an overflow if adequate lagoon storage is not available.
