r,Wilkes-_County,
Dear Mr, Wood,
Dee Freeman
Secretary
As you know, Division of Water Quality (DWQ) staff from the Winston-Salem Regional Office visited your livestock
facility on June 9, 2009 in response to a complaint alleging violations of the State's permitted animal threshold level and
water quality concerns due to cattle traffic in and around Elkin Creek. This letter is to summarize the water quality
concerns noted during our investigation,
Staff took photographs of the stream, including the two sample sites, and collected stream samples for the
analysis of dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, specific conductance, and fecal coliform. Laboratory findings for the downstream
sample conclude that the fecal coliform bacteria concentration was 3800 colonies1100mL while the upstream
concentration was 130 coloniesl100mL. Please be aware that the downstream result exceeds the current North
Carolina water quality standard of 200 coloniesl100mL (maximum) and increases the likelihood for future
violations of the fecal coliform standard. There were no violations of the State's water quality standard for DO or pH.
Note that there is currently no water quality standard for specific conductance.
The section of Elkin Creek in question is classified as WS-II HQW (high quality) waters of the State. NC
Administrative Codes require that this section of the stream be protected for secondary recreation, fishing, aquatic life
including propagation and survival, and wildlife. The WS-Il classification also means that the stream is to be protected as
a water supply and that control of non -point sources and stormwater pollution shall be required.
Therefore, to avoid further action by this office, the Division strongly recommends that vegetated buffers be
established along the stream and that cattle be excluded from these areas as soon as possible. We urge you to contact the
Wilkes County Soil and Water Conservation District/Natural Resources Conservation Service office at [phone] for
any technical and/or financial assistance you may need in implementing these measures.
The Division requests that you respond in writing to this office within thirty (30) days of receipt of this Notice to
•tthe address contained in this letterhead. Your response should describe of the corrective actions you have taken or plan to

Please be aware that any future violations could be subject to a civil penalty assessment of up to $25,000
per day, per each violation.

Facility Number 97-25
Dear Randy Wood:
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 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 $ 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 li uid 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 [phone] ext 502.
Sincerely,
A. Preston Howard, Jr., P.E.
