Dear White Rock Farms LLC:
In accordance with your renewal request, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage
(COC) issued to White Rock Farms LLC, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste
management system in accordance with General Permit AWG200000. Please read this COC and the
enclosed State General Permit carefully.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan
(CAWMP) for White Rock Farms Dairy Inc, located in Anson County, with an animal capacity of no greater
than the following annual averages:
Dairy Calf: Dry Cow: Beef Brood Cow:
Dairy Heifer: Beef Stocker Calf: Other:
Milk Cow: 700 Beef Feeder:
This COC shall be effective from October 1, 2019 until September 30, 2024 and shall hereby void
Certificate of Coverage Number AWC040036 that was previously issued to this facility. Pursuant to this
COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and
limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system
for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established
for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in
number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP
and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please pay careful attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit. Stocking and
Mortality Form (STOCK-1) has been updated; all other record keeping forms are unchanged with this
General Permit. Please use the most current record keeping forms.

If your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) has been developed based on site -specific information, careful
evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current WUP is inaccurate
you will need to have a new WUP developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .1304 and NRCS standards a 100-foot separation shall be maintained between water
supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any land application of waste.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual permit by contacting the Animal Feeding Operations Program for information on
this process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.
In accordance with Condition 1123 of the General Permit, waste application shall cease within twelve (12)
hours of the time that the National Weather Service issues a Hurricane Warning, Tropical Storm Warning,
or a Flood Watch/Flash Flood Watch associated with a tropical system for the county in which the facility
is located. You may find detailed watch/warning information for your county by calling the Raleigh, NC
National Weather Service office at [phone], or by visiting their website at: www.weather.gov/rah/
This facility is located in a county covered by our Fayetteville Regional Office. The Regional Office staff

Permit, please contact the Animal Feeding Operations Program staff at [phone].
