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 $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 which require certified animal waste management plans are as follows:
Swine 250
Confined Cattle 100
Horses 75
Sheep 1,000
IL 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

Re: H.D. Cornelius - Logan Creek Farms
I am writing to request technical assistance with the waste
storage pond closure on the HD Cornelius Farm in Yadkin County.
The Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Division of Soil
and Water Conservation have provided technical assistance on March
10th, llth, and 12th to provide printout drawings of the elevations and
distances on the site for preliminary volume calculations for waste
effluent and soil removal.
The Division of Water Quality will have to sign off on the activity and
determine when enough of the sludge has been removed. We have
called DWQ in Winston-Salem requesting an appointment to review
the planned activity to find out specifically what it is that will be
required before we begin this process.
Please call our office so that we can make appointment to review this
planned activity together.
Sincerely,
Jason Walker
District Resource Technician

DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL

SUBJECT: Animal Waste Operation Inspection
Logan Creek Farm
Yadkin County
Dear Mr. Cornelius
An inspection of the animal waste handling facilities at your
swine operation was conducted by Bill Justice and David Russell of
this Office on July 28, 1995. Specifically, the inspection was
conducted to determine the status of your compliance with Title 15
A, North Carolina Administrative Code 2H .0200 regulations, which
govern wastewater disposal systems which do not discharge to
surface waters of the State.
Animal waste management systems which comply with the .0200
regulations are "deemed permitted" by the Division, and thus, are,
not required to apply for individual permits for operation. The
primary factor in assessing compliance with the regulations is
whether or not a discharge of pollutants occurs from the facilities
(in your case a lagoon) during any rain event less severe than a 25
year storm. A 25 year storm is a storm of such severity, that it
can statistically be expected to recur once every 25 years. A 25
year storm in Yadkin County would amount to any rainfall 6 inches
or greater within a 24 hour period. You should be aware, however,
that because the weather data used to compile what is a 25 year
storm covers many years, it is possible to experience 25 year
storms on two consecutive days. Likewise, you could receive 5
inches of rain one day, and 5 inches the next, and neither would
constitute a 25 year storm, so you would need at least 10 inches of
freeboard to prevent a discharge.
The freeboard level of your lagoon was noted to be
approximately 1 foot at the time of the inspection. The
appropriate freeboard level is at least 18 inches (1 foot plus the
6 inches from the 25 year storm). Also, during the inspection it
was noted that a plastic corrugated pipe had been placed in the dam
and ran down the back slope of the dam into the neighboring woods.

Please be aware that the construction of manmade pipes, ditches, or
other conveyances for the purpose of willfully discharging
pollutants to the waters of the State may result in the immediate
imposition of civil penalties of up to $5,000.00 for the first
offense. This pipe needs to be removed and you should take all
precautionary measures to prevent any discharge from your
operation. Should a discharge from your lagoon or pits occur, you
could lose your "deemed permitted" status, requiring submittal of
an individual nondischarge permit application to DEM, or requiring
you to get an approved animal waste management plan prior to the
mandatory December 31, 1997 deadline for animal waste management
plans.
Should you require technical assistance on how to handle the
wastewater generated from your operation, contact your local
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) office at (910) 697-
8052.
If you have any comments or questions regarding this matter,
please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Bill Justice or me at (910)
