Subject: Animal Compliance Inspection
Year 2002
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Site Inspection (as viewed in the DWQ database) conducted at the referenced facility
by the Division of Water Quality from the Washington Regional Office. Please read this inspection and keep it with all other
documents pertaining to your animal operation for future inspections.
In general, these inspections included verifying that; (1) the farm has a Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP); (2) the
farm is complying with requirements ofthe State Rules 15 NCAC 2H0217, Senate Sill 1217, and the Certified Animal Waste
Management Plan; (3) the farm operation's waste management system is being operated properly under the direction of a Certified
Operator; (4) the required records are being kept; and (5) there are no signs of seepage, erosion, and/or nmof -
As a reminder, please note the following comments, which are conditions of the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan and the
General Permit; therefore, these items must be implemented:
q) The maximum waste level in lagoom/storageponds shall not exceed that specified in the CAWMP. At a minimum, maximum waste
level for waste for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain 25 year, 24 hour storm
event plus an additional foot of structural freeboard
q) An analysis of the liquid animal waste from the lagoon shall be conducted as close to the time of application as practical and at least
within 60 days (before or after) of the date of application. This analysis shall include the following parameters: Nitrogen,
Phosphorus, Zinc and Copper.
(p Soil analysis is required annually. Lime is to be applied to each receiving crop as recommended by the soil analysis.
(p The following records are required: off -site solids removal, maintenance, repair, wastelsoil analysis and land irrigation records.
These records should be maintained by the facility owner/manager in chronological and legible form for a minimum of three years.
cp Land application rates shall be m accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land application rates exceed the Plant Available
Nitroiren (PAN) rate for the receiving crop or result in runoff during any given application.
(p All grassed waterways shall have a stable outlet with adequate capacity to prevent ponding or flooding damages. The outlet can be
another vegetated du mel, an earth ditch, stabilization structure, or other suitable outlets.
y It is Mgmted, not a requirement. to keep crop yield information for future use to update your waste management plan. You will
need three years of crop yield data before your plan can be updated
For your information, any swine facility that has a discharge to surface waters of the State will have to apply for a National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit with the Division of Water Quality, effective January 1, 2001.
'hank you for your assistance and won during the inspection. If you have any questions, please contact me at 252-946-6491, eat.

Subject: Application No. AWS250029
Additional Information Request
Douglas E. Cowan Farms
Animal Waste Operation
Craven County
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application. Additional
information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by January 28, 1999:
The lagoon capacity documentation that was submitted with the general permit application was for a 240
sow Farrow to Feeder operation. The certified animal capacity for the facility is 720 Farrow to Wean sows.
It appears that the lagoon volume is inadequate for the number of certified animals at the facility. Please
provide lagoon volume calculations for this animal capacity and as built lagoon dimensions.
Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. Please
reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be signed,
sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this letter must be
submitted on or before January 28, 1999 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A
N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit.
Please be advised that operation of the subject animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and will subject you to the enforcement authority of the Environmental Management
Commission.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please call me at [phone], extension 546.
Sincerely,
/.(,o
