Atraining 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.

The facility was in good shape. However, though not a regulatory requirement at this time, it is recommended that you divert the runoff from your silage into the storage pond to reduce the potential of a negative impact to the stream below the facility. Because you_ are below the threshold of 100 animals, enclosed is a form which can be filled out to remove your facility from the state registry. Please send it to the attention of Sue Homewood. The address can be found at the bottom of the form. If you do decide to come off the register, it is to your benefit that you still obtain a certified farm plan. Any further correspondence related to the subject inspection will be sent under separate cover. Also, please be advised that North Carolina General Statutes provide -for -penalties of up to $10,000 per day per violation as well as criminal penalties for violations of state environmental laws and regulations.
