Mr. Stan Delaney
REPORT: On June 28, 1996, Mr. Roberto'L. Scheller of this
office conducted an investigation of an animal complaint located
off Hwy 84 in Weddington, North Carolina. The investigation was
in response to a complaint received in this Office on June'26,
1996. The complainant reported that cattle were wading in.a
spring head area causing water quality problems.
An inspection of the spring•head area revealed that cattle
have been congregating or lounging in this area to. drink water
and cool off. The area was very muddy from cattle traffic and
the water discharging from the spring was of low quality. Field
readings of stream quality at the time of the investigation
revealed the following data:

- Dissolved Oxygen (DO) 2.4 mg/1
- Temperature 20.0° Celsius
- pH 6.49 standard units (s.u.)
- Conductivity 85 pmohs
The low dissolved oxygen reading (2.4 mg/1) taken at the
time of the investigation is a violation of the Fresh Surface
Water Standards. According to 15A North Carolina Administrative
Code (NCAC) 2B .0211, (a), (B), the dissolved oxygen level should
not be less than;adaily average of 5.0 mg/1 with a minimum
instantaneous value of not less than 4.0 mg/1.
In a phone conversation with Mr. Delaney he was advised to
contact the Union County Natural Resource Conversation Service

development for livestock watering and fencing requirements.
A certifier letter will be sent to Mr. Delaney informing him
of the environmental laws and requirements regarding animal
