Alexander County, NC
Enclosed is a copy of the Animal Operation Site Inspection report for the inspection conducted
by Mr. Alan Johnson of this Office at your dairy on February 26, 1997. The report should be self-
explanatory.
Mr. Johnson observed a mixture of waste and water leaving the paved area of your facility. This
wastewaterbypassed your lagoon on both sides, eventually discharging into a streambelow the
dairy. This discharge is a violation of the deemed permitted status pursuant to North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1 (a) and Administrative Code Section 15A NCAC 2H .0217.
It is requested that a written response be submitted to this office by March 17, 1997 indicating the
actions taken to correct the noted problem. Please address your response to Mr. Johnson.
Be advised that this notice does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking
enforcement actions for this or any other violations. Also, be advised that North Carolina General
Statutes provide for penalties of up to $10,000 per day per violation for noncompliance with state
environmental laws and regulations.

Designation of Operator in Charge
Frank Beckham Dairy Farm
Facility Number 02--10
Alexander County
You were notified by letter dated December 5, 1996, that you were required to designate a certified animal waste
management system operator as Operator in Charge for the subject facility by January 1, 1997. Enclosed with that
letter was an Operator in Charge Designation Form specifically for your facility, Instructions for Completing
Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator, and an Application for
Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator. Our records indicate that these
completed Forms have not yet been returned to our office.
As was explained in the previous letter, a training and certification program is not yet available for animal waste
management systems involving cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry (with a liquid waste system). Therefore owners of
these systems were allowed to request that they be issued temporary certifications until December 31, 1997. All that
was required to receive this temporary certification was the completion of the Application Form.
For you convenience, we are sending you additional copies of the Operator in Charge Designation Form specifically
for your facility, Instructions for Completing Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste
Management System Operator, and an Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management
System Operator. Please return this completed Form to this office as soon as possible but in no case later than April
25, 1997. This office maintains a list of certified operators in your area if you need assistance in locating a certified
operator.
Please note that failure to designate an Operator in Charge of your animal waste management system, is a violation
of N.C.G.S. 90A-47.2 and you will be assessed a civil penalty unless an appropriately certified operator is designated.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as absolving you of the responsibility and liability for
any past or future violations for your failure to designate an appropriate Operator in Charge by January 1, 1997.
If you have questions concerning this matter, please contact our Technical Assistance and Certification Group at
[phone].
