SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Animal Waste Operation Inspection
Carter Dairy
Alamance County
Dear Mr. Carter:
An inspection of the animal waste handling facilities at your
dairy operation was conducted by Jim Johnston of this Office, and
Bill Woods of NRCS, on May 8, 1996. 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 Alamance 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.
At the time of the inspection, it was noted that your lagoon
was full and that seepage was occurring at the emergency spillway.
There was evidence that the lagoon in the past had gone over the
spillway and into the pond bellow. You need to lower the level in

to request a reinspection from this office. The general
recommendation for lagoon operators is to maintain at least 18
inches of freeboard in a lagoon (1 foot plus the 6 inches, from the
25 year storm).
Should a discharge from your lagoon occur, you could have
fines imposed upon you in the amount of $10,000.00 per day for each
day the discharge occurs. 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) 226-
0477.
If you have any comments or questions regarding, this matter,
please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Jim Johnston or Mr. Mauney at
[phone].

point of voutstructure.
Should a discharge from your lagoon occur, you could have fines
imposed upon you in the amount of $10,000.00 per day for each day
the discharge occurs. 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.
On the day of the inspection the lagoon was full of solids and
weeds. Water was seeping into your spillway. Immediate attention
is needed at this site.

wastewater generated from your operation, contact your local
