Dear J. Allen Norris:
In accordance with your application received on August 25, 2017, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to J. Allen Norris, authorizing the operation of the subject animal
waste management system in accordance with NPDES General Permit NCA200000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan
(CAWMP) for the Norris Farm #2, located in Bladen County, with an animal capacity of no greater than
the following cattle annual averages:
Wean to Finish: Feeder to Finish: 5,880
Wean to Feeder: Farrow to Wean:
Farrow to Finish: Farrow to Feeder:
Boar/Stud:
Gilts:
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows.
Where boars are unnecessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows
may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows.
The COC shall be effective from November 3, 2017 until June 30, 2022 and replaces the COC No.
AWS090165 dated October 1, 2014.
Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the
conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An
adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information
must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design
capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a
modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either
wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please pay careful attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit. The
Animal Facility Annual Certification Form must be completed and returned to the Division of Water
Resources by no later than March 1st of each year.

If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site -specific information, careful evaluation of
future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is inaccurate
you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.

wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100-foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a spray
field.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.
