Dear Ms. Fender: -
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to' Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission on
Agricultural Waste, was enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly on June 21, 1996. This bill
requires that -a certified operator be designated as the Operator in Charge by January 1, 1997, for each animal
waste management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or more -horses,
1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid animal waste management system. Our
records indicate that your facility is registered with the Division of Water Quality and meets the requirements
for designating an OIC.
A training and certification program is not yet available for animal waste management systems involving
cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry. Owners and operators of these systems will be issued temporary animal waste
management certificates by the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission
(WPCSOCC). The temporary certificates will expire December 31; 1997, and will not be renewed. To obtain
a permanent certification, you will be required to complete ten hours of training and pass an examination by
December 31, 1997. A training and certification program for operators of animal waste management systems
involving cattle, sheep, horses, and poultry is now being developed and should be available by the spring of
1997. The type of training and certification required for the operator of each system will be based on the nature
of the wastes to.be treated and the treatment process(es) primarily used to treat the animal waste.
As the owner of an animal operation with an animal waste management system, you must designate an
Operator- in Charge and must submit the enclosed designation form to the WPCSOCC. If you do not intend to
operate your animal waste management system yourself, you must designate an employee or engage a contract
operator to be the Operator in Charge. The person designated as the Operator in Charge, whether yourself or
another person, must complete the enclosed application form for temporary certification as an animal waste
management system operator. Both -the designation form and the application form -must be completed and
returned by December 31,' 1996. - - - -
If you have questions about the new requirements for animal waste management system operators, please call
Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt at 919/733-0026.
Sincerely,

Designation of Operator in Charge
Pender's Dairy
Facility Number 80--16
Rowan County
Dear Mr. Pender:
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].
