Dear Mr.. Coley:

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

waste management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or moreconfined cattle, 75 or more horses,

a permanent certification, you will be required to complete ten hours of training and pass, an examination by ,

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. •
