Dear Randy Thigpen:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) received your sludge survey information on August 23,
2011. With the survey results. you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement for
the two lagoons at the Thigpen's Pig Pens facility. Due to the amount of treatment volume
available, the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed until 2014 for both lagoons.
The next sludge survey at this facility should be performed before December 31, 2014. Thank
you for your attention to this matter. Please call me at [phone] if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Miressa D. Garoma

Dear Randy L Thigpen:
In accordance with your application received on 26-Jan-07, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Randy L Thigpen, authorizing the operation of the subject
animal waste management system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000.
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 the Thigpen's Pig Pens, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than the following swine annual averages:
Wean to Finish: 0 Feeder to Finish: 5832 Boar/Stud: 0
Wean to Feeder: 0 Farrow to Wean: 0 Gilts: 0
Farrow to Finish: 0 Farrow to Feeder: 0
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows.
Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows
may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009 and replaces the NPDES
COC issued to this facility with an expiration date of July 1, 2007. You are required to continue
conducting annual surveys of sludge accumulation in all lagoons at your facility; the one-year extension
in .Condition 111.19 does not apply.
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 carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Enclosed for yourconvenience is
a package containing the new and revised fortes used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay
careful attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit.

If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site -specific information, careful evaluation ,
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
r ' 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.
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation t_o the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility. -
Per 15A NCAC 02T .0111(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100-foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .1306, any containment basin, such as a lagoon or waste storage structure, shall
continue to be subject to the conditions and requirements of the facility's permit until- closed to NRCS
standards and the permit is rescinded by the Division.
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.

General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
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 staff member listed below for information on this
process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of
cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be gown, their nutrient requirements,
and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount tieing supplied by manure or
other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in
order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is
included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation,

�Tlw following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilimon table provides an estimate of the number of awes needed for
sludge utilization for the indicated aoa mutation period- These estimates are based on average nitrogen
concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates
shown in the second colurm

Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatrrlat and application) of the effluent. At
mean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and allied at agronotuic rates. In most cases, the
priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since
nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied
Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for slute applicatim Ideally, effluent splay fields should not be
used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load dMhent application fields with
highs amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied On sites vulnerable to surtace water
moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a can ma Sobs condtiwing very high phosphorous levels may also be a
concern.

the Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage
capacity available at the end of each month of the plan Available storage capacity is calculated as the
design storage capacity in clays minus the nurser of days of net stowage volunhe accumLlaWd. The start
date is a value entered by the user and is domed as the date prior to applying nutrienu to the first crop in
the plan at which storage volume in the lam or holding pond is equal to zero.
Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design
storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage rapacity is greater than the design storage capacity,
thus indicates that the plan calls for the application ofnutrie is that have not yet accurnulated. If available
storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accurradated waste exceeds the design storage volume
of the structure~ Etdxr of these shumons indicates that the piamwd application interval in the waste
utilization plan is inconsisteal with the sUixtuares temparahy storage capacity.

0 Reanired Specifications For Animal Waste Management
I. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff drift,
manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during
operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reach's surface
water is prohibited.
Z. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly
apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly
dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a
landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use
of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management
Plan when there is a change in the opmtion, increase in the number of
animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs
for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical
data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are
regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
s -
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per
year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are
installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, MRCS ]Field Office
Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips.
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by dishing after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is dander of drift from
the land application field.
6. When animal waste is -to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will
be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is
applied to conservation tilled crops or grate, the waste may be
broadcast provided the application dues not occur during a season prone to
flooding {see "Weather and Climate in North Carotins" for guidance.
S-_ _736829 Database Version 3,1 Bate Prmied 3n5MV � SvecifiCation Page I

7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil iriffltiratiton rate
such that runoff does not occur ofisite or to surface waters and in a method
which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding
should occur in order to control odor and flies
S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events,
or when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner
that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth.
The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted
crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Wastetnutrient loading
rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a sable winter cover
crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more
than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1,1995 shall comply with
the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is
applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least
• 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste,
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1,1995, shall
not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be annlied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner_
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public
right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or
wetlands by a discharge or by over -sprayer Animal waste maybe applied
to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a
land application site by a "technical specialist'. Animal waste shall not be
applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses,
and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates
in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.

16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets,
sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management
system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all
disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall
be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees,
shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered
appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms
and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion,
leakage, or discharge.
18. H animal.production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the
owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan"
which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and
19. Waste handling structures, Pipes pumps, reels, etc, should be inspected on
a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular
maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
• 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other
crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on
crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant
with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste
treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level
between the markets. A marker will be required to mark the maximum
storage volume for waste storage ponds.

Dear Randy Thigpen:
Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director
Division of Water Quality
This letter is to notify you that the subject facility is in violation of its General Permit
NCA231034 Condition I1I.16.
Your NPDES Permit Number NCA231034 Condition 111.16 states:
"All facilities, which are issued a COC to operate under this permit, shall conduct a
survey of the sludge accumulation in all lagoons within one (1) year of receiving the
COC and every year thereafter. This survey shall include but not be limited to a sketch
showing the depth of sludge in the various locations within each lagoon. This survey
shall be submitted as part of the facility's annual report in the year it was conducted.
This survey frequency may be reduced if it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the
Division that the rate of sludge accumulation does not warrant an annual survey.
If the sludge accumulation is such that it is greater than the volume for which the lagoon
was designed or reduces the minimum treatment volume to less than the volume for
which the lagoon was designed, a plan must be submitted to the Division's Central Office
within ninety (90) days of this determination which documents removal and waste
utilization procedures to be used."
Our records indicate that the Division has not received the sludge survey results for the year
2004 from your facility. The form was due March 1, 2005. To avoid possible enforcement
action for a violation of your permit, please submit the results within thirty (30) days to the
following address:

Subject: Response to Yout Letter Dated October 10, 2002 Concerning
Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement
Randy Thigpen
Thigpen's Pig Pens
Facility Number: 31-34
Duplin County '
Dear Mr. Burrows:
Thank you for your letter dated October 10, 2002, in which you respond to the Notice of Violation
and Recommendation for Enforcement issued to Mr. Randy Thigpen. This letter attempts to address the
issues that you raised in your October 10th letter.
In the second paragraph of your letter, you say that staff did not address the alleged failure of Mr.
Thigpen to properly maintain his irrigation equipment, and you wondered why. l am not aware that staff
observed any equipment failure. If there was, however, please explain it to us. I think the issue here is that
there was a cause (or causes) for the over application and consequent runoff into waters of the state, and
we request that your client explain it.
In the third paragraph, you say that "Mr. Thigpen does not agree that any violation occurred, in that
no discharge of waste into the waters of the state occurred." The evidence collected by staff shows
otherwise, so it's obvious that there is a factual disagreement on this issue that will not be resolved in this
or future correspondence.
In the fourth paragraph, you say that the application was within the parameters of the CAWMP, in
that no excessive amounts of nitrogen was applied to the fields or area in question. You go on to say that
the irrigation reports provided to us supports this contention. Since the notice was issued for runoff and
PAN violations, you may be correct that we cannot yet document a PAN violation, although there is no
question about the runoff violation. However; the irrigation reports submitted to us were incomplete, in that
the amount of nitrogen applied to the fields in question cannot yet be calculated because your client does
not have a valid waste analysis for the irrigation events in question. If your client will provide us complete
reports, we will be glad to reconsider the issue of the PAN violation, and amend the record accordingly if one
did not occur.

Mr. Richard L. Burrows
October 18, 2002
Page 2 of 3
In the sixth paragraph, you acknowledge that waste ran off of the field but estimate that only 300
gallons ran off. We believe, however, that the evidence suggests that the amount of runoff probably
exceeds a 1000 gallons. Given the difficulties in estimating runoff, we decided to give your client the benefit
of the doubt, so for the record we called the runoff less than a 1000 gallons, thereby relieving your client of
the obligation to make public notice. Your client did pump 1400 gallons of wastewater and water from the
wetland area on September 18th, so I think we can agree that the amount of the release was quite
significant. Having said that, I recognize that the amount released is a factual dispute that will not be
resolved in this or future correspondence, so I'll leave it at that. In this paragraph, you reiterate that no
discharge to surface waters occurred, we disagree, so please refer to paragraph three of this letter.
In the seventh paragraph, you say that Mr. Thigpen immediately and voluntarily of his own initiative
pumped the wastewater from the wetlands. However, the wastewater discharge was discovered on
September 17, 2002, and Mr. Thigpen did not pump out the wastewater from the wetland until September
18, 2002, and he did it only after Mr. Chester Cobb asked him to do so. You further say that you could see
no evidence of residue or damage to the environment, and you say that there was no plant life, fish, or other
wildlife in the wetlands. I don't believe that you visited the impacted wetlands until some time after the
discharge occurred, and sometime after your client pumped as much. of the wastewater as feasible, so I'm
not sure that you saw the impacts right after the event. I won't argue this point because neither your client
nor the Division conducted scientific investigations to assess the extent of damage to the wetlands, so I'll
acknowledge that damage to the environment was apparently minimal.
In the eighth and ninth paragraphs, you say that Mr. Thigpen will no longer spray upon the area in
question that could result in a runoff, and so will amend his CAWMP accordingly. Please remember that
this will result in adjustments to the rest of his plan that will require amendments as well.
We will be glad to provide you access to Mr. Thigpen's file if you will make arrangements 24 hours
in advance with Ms. Beverly Rivenbark at the number below. If you let us know in advance of your visit, we
will make extra copies of the photographs, if you will be kind enough to pay for the extra set.
Concerning the questions that you asked in your next to the last paragraph, I will try to give you
satisfactory answers. This violation was discovered during a flyover of Mr. Thigpen's farm on September
17th. When the plane landed, Mr. Stenberg called Mr. Mathis to report this runoff incident. Mr. Mathis and
Mr. Cobb arrived at the farm at about 5:30 p.m., and it is true that Mr. Thigpen denied access to Mr. Mathis
but did allow access to Mr. Cobb. Admittedly, the issue of denial of access to Mr. Mathis is a concern to me
and I hope your client will share his reasons with me so that I may address his complaints, if justifiable. Two
inspectors were sent because there are safety issues when investigating the metes and bounds of a
discharge in wooded terrain, and our safety plan requires use of the "buddy" system in cases like this. Also,
your client's somewhat questionable behavior to our inspectors in the past gives us reason to be concerned
about the safety of our inspectors, so that was.another reason to send two inspectors out to investigate this
incident. Your letter refers to three inspectors investigating the incident but I believe that there were no more
than two inspectors at the site at any given time.

Mr. Richard L. Burrows
October 18, 2002
Page 3 of 3
I read your complaints about Mr. Stoney Mathis and admit that I am concerned that the industry
perceives him in the way you portray it. I have known him for three years and believe that he is one of the
most capable and competent professionals that I have met in my 29 years with the state, so I have quite a
different opinion on this matter. However, Stoney and I would be more than happy to meet with you and
discuss the complaints that you raise in your October 10th letter. If justifiable, I will be more than happy to
address the issues that concern you.
If you have any questions concerning this matter please do not hesitate to contact me or Mr. Gale
Stenberg or Mr. Chester Cobb of our Wilmington Regional Office at [phone].

This Notice of Violation is issued on this date to Mr. Randy Thigpen, owner/operatorof the Thigpen's
Pig Pens covered under Certificate of Coverage AWS 310034. This Certificate of Coverage was issued by
the State of North Carolina under Swine Waste General Permit AWG100000.
On September 17 and 18, 2002, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality performed inspections of your facility.
Violations found are listed as follows:
1. It was discovered during these inspections that the land` application equipment and fields were not

waste.
This is in violation of Part 11 Operation and Maintenance Requirements, Section 1 of the General
Permitthat states, "The collection, treatment, and storage facilities, and land application equipment
and fields shall be maintained at all times and properly operated."
This is also in violation of Part III Monitoring and Reporting Requirements, Section 1 of the General
Permit that states, "An inspection of the waste collection, treatment, storage structures and runoff
control measures shall be conducted at a frequency to insure proper operation but at least monthly
and after storm events."
2. It was discovered during these inspections that the improper land application of animal waste
resulted in a discharge of this waste into waters of the State.
This is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 that states that no person shall make
an outlet into the waters of the State without having obtained and abided by the appropriate permit.

Thank you for your extension of time within which this response could be filed. I appreciate your
courtesy.
Please treat this letter as Thigpen's course of action with respect to the alleged spill and ensuing
investigation by your department.
The field in question was recently cleared and converted into a spray field.
Immediately after the inspection Mr. Thigpen contacted representatives of the Farm Service Agency,
as well as his technical specialist, and has engaged them to make recommendations with reevaluating that
portion of the field in question, and providing suggested alternatives. They are in the process of doing that
evaluation, and he intends to implement their recommendations.
In the meantime, and as a further precaution, he will stop the traveler short of the designed pull at
that end of the field in order to avoid spraying over the break of the hill, and install some temporary small
berms at the bottom of the hill to avoid any potential runoff.
If you wish, we will provide you with an update of what actions are taken as they are implemented.
Please advise if you wish any additional information.

Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Thigpen's Pig Pens
Facility Number 31-34
Duplin County
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Brian Wrenn/Stoney Mathis on 2/2/99 was made to review the actual number of acres
at your facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded
one of the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X"_
Category 1:
❑ The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Stoney Mathis the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Stoney Mathis, at 127 Cardinal Drive
Extension, Wilmington, NC 28405-3845, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you
have any questions please contact Stoney Mathis at [phone]. If within 90 days you
are unable to provide Stoney Mathis with the information you are automatically
required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2
below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter.

Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Page 2
Category 2:
Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next
180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the foram is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our
Central Office staff at [phone] ext. 571.

Re: Thigpen's Pigpens

Duplin County, N. C.
Dear Mr. Shiver:
P
�jJOCT 112002 1

TELEPHONE [phone]
FACSIMILE [phone]
As I have formerly advised you, we represent Mr. Thigpen in
connection with the alleged water quality violation that you
referred to in your Notice of violation letter dated October 4,
2002, and this constitutes Mr. Thigpen's formal response to that
letter.
In that paragraph 1 of your Notice states that land
application equipment and fields were not properly maintained and
operated, this response does not address the alleged failure to
properly maintain his irrigation equipment, in that none of the
reports which were provided by the inspection team contained any
reference to equipment, and, in fact, no equipment was inspected
by your personnel.
Mr. Thigpen does not agree that any violation occurred, in
that no discharge of waste into the waters of the state occurred.
The field runoff, while minimal in extent, was contained just off
of the field in an area where a tree had been turned over by
hurricane winds, leaving a depression in the former root ball
area.
With regard to the field in question, the area in question

I
Mr. Rick Shiver
October 10, 2002
Page Two
is at the foot of a hilly portion of the field. The application
was within the parameters of his CAWMP, in that no excessive
amounts of nitrogen was applied upon the fields or area in
question. The irrigation reports which have been voluntarily
provided to you clearly demonstrate that that conclusion on your
part is not supported by competent evidence.
Although your requested plan of action is premised upon the
conclusion that a water quality violation occurred, and
essentially requires an admission of such a violation, in order
to comply with the request as fully as possible, the following
plan of action is provided in your requested format, but is not
to be interpreted or construed in any manner as an admission of
any such violation:
a. Field Runoff. An estimated 300 gallons of waste ran off
of the edge of the field in one area, which was essentially a low
area in edge of the field at the foot of a hill located within
the field. The wastewater was fully contained in a depression
caused by tree being uprooted and which left a hole where the
tree root structure had been formerly located. The principal
depression covered a circular area of approximately 8 to 10 feet
in diameter. No wastewater went into any waters of the state.
b. As your personnel was then, and is now aware, Mr.
Thigpen immediately pumped both rainwater and small amount of
included wastewater out of the rootball area, and pumped that
water into his lagoon. He voluntarily implemented this procedure
before your inspection team even completed their inspection, and
on his own initiative. That task was completed that evening. I
have personally viewed the area in question, and could see no
evidence of any residue or damage to the environment. There was
no plant life in the root hole, and certainly no fish or other
wildlife.
C. The permittee adopted and immediately implemented a plan
whereby he will, if deemed necessary by the Farm Service Agency
Technical Specialist he has already consulted with, amend his
CAWMP, whereby he will remove the questionable portion of the end
of the field in question from his CAWMP. Further, he will no
longer spray upon the area of the hill in question that could
result in a runoff. His CAWMP already contains sufficient areas

Mr. Rick Shiver
October 10, 2002
Page Three
to spray upon, some of which had previously been underutilized,
which will now be used.
d. Thigpen has implemented the alternative spray pattern
set out in subparagraph c above, and will amend his CAWMP as soon
as the Technical Specialist determines that an amendment is
necessary.
While I understand that both you and Stoney Mathis were
somewhat displeased with Mr. Thigpen's refusal to permit Mr.
Mathis on his farm at the event in question, it should be
remembered that, without reservation, Mr. Thigpen immediately
welcomed the other two inspectors at the same time. The question
is immediately raised as to why three inspectors went to the
site, when one could have done the job adequately, especially in
view of the fact that you contend your department is underfunded
and understaffed. In any event, I would hope and expect that
that Mr. Thigpen's refusal to permit Mr. Mathis upon his farm
would not be a factor either in your recommendations or potential
assessment, if any, of civil penalties in this case. It it more
than adequately documented that Mr. Mathis' approach to every
inspection is clearly excessive, and that, for want of a better
term, he has, through his personality traits, antagonized and
generated a lot of mistrust among the farming community.
If you have any further questions about Mr. Thigpen's "Plan
of Action", please advise, and I will try to assist him in
addressing them.
I am,
Ver u y yours,
Richard L. Burrows

Dear Rick:

By Telefax: [phone]
Tliank you for your extension of time Nvitlun which this response could be filed. I appreciate your
courtesv.
Please treat this letter as Thigpen's course of action with respect to the alleged spill and ensuing
investigation by your department.
The field in question was recently cleared and converted into a spray field.
Invttediately after the inspection Mr. Thigpen contacted representatives of the Farm Service: Agency, -
as well as his technical specialist, and has engaged them to make recorrLmendations with reevaluating tliat
portion oftlie field in question, and providing suggestc;d alternatives. They are in the process of doing that
evaluation, and he intends to implement their recommendations.
In the meantime, and as a further precaution, he will stop the traveler short of the designed pull at
that end of the field in order to avoid spraying over the break of the hill, and install some temporary small
berms at the bottom of the hill to avoid any potential runoff.
If you wish, we will provide you Avith an update of what actions are taken as they are implemented.
Please advise if you wish any additional information.

Dear Mr. Thigpen:
On October, 18, 2000, Mr. Dean Hunkele with the Division -of Water Quality from the Wilmington
Regional Office performed your annual compliance inspection. During that visit, it was indicated by you
that the two lagoons at this facility are connected via a pipe in the permanent liquid storage area of the
structures.
This design feature is a cause of concern to DWQ'because it has the potential to contaminate
the groundwater by potential leakage at the connection points with the dike wall and/or degradation of the
material along its path beneath the ground surface.
Therefore, we ask that you either have a Professional Engineer examine the situation and
remove the pipe under. his supervision or install groundwater monitoring at the site under the supervision
of the Division's Groundwater Section.
Please submit a Plan of Action to the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality that describes the actions to be taken to address this situation including a timetable for
implementation.
The proposed written plan of action must be received by this office within thirty (30) working days
of the receipt of this notice. Upon approval and implementation of the plan, you must notify this office
when the Corrective actions are complete. Contact your Service Company, county Soil 81 Water district
office, or county extension office for any assistance they may be able to provide.

Dear Bruce:
In light of the response we received concerning the connection of the lagoons at each of these sites, I am
making a referral to your Section. I have provided you a copy of their response to our inquiry and
Groundwater was previously copied on our original inquiries. We do not see any advantage or reason for
these lagoons to be connected in this manner.
I will leave further investigation of this matter to the Groundwater Section. Based on what we do know, I
think thismalrants a site visit for further investigation and may put one or -both of these facilities Into a
higher risk category for possible groundwater contamination.
Please feel free to contact me for further information or assistance.

Dear Randy Thigpen_
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Brian Wrenn on 2/2J99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility
that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility.has yielded.one of the
following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X"-
Category 1:
❑ The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Stoney Mathis the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Stoney Mathis, at 127 Cardinal Drive
Extension, Wilmington, NC 28405-3845, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you
have any questions please contact Stoney Mathis at [phone]. ff within 90 days you
are unable to provide Stoney Mathis with the information you are automatically
required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2
below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter.

Category 2:
Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be_exceeding.the,allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and. Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next
180 days, If the needed modifications are not made and if the foram is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of -Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this Ietter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our

waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next
180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and. if the form is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your -facility. DWQ'and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our
Central Office staff at [phone] ext. 571.

This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. 1RR1, IR.R2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.

Duplin County
Dear Mr. Thigpen:
On September 1, 1998, staff from the Wilmington. Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality inspected your swine farm and the lagoons serving this operation. During the inspection,
it was discovered that waste was applied to Tract 5241 on Pulls 4B & 4C as a pre -plant application
for cucumbers. The certified Animal Waste Management Plan governing your farm calls for
summer and winter annuals to be rotated in this tract which does not include cucumbers_ As a
permitted facility, the certified Animal Waste Management Plan must be followed to the letter;
otherwise it is a violation of your General Permit.
I believe that this tract of land is under a special agreement with another owner. In the
future, if the farmer wishes to plant something not listed in your waste plan, then he needs to give
you advanced notice so that you can obtain a letter from a technical specialist (like Bryan Spell
with Dogwood Farms) permitting such action. The specialist needs to insure that you have
adequate acreage with such a change to meet your waste removal needs; whether or not you plan
to spray waste to these areas. If this change doesn't pose a problem, then he will provide you with
pertinent application information including the rate of application and amount of Nitrogen (PAN)
that can be applied to the desired crop. Your certified waste plan does not need to be permanently
amended to allow this practice, but it can be. However, I believe the use of a letter will better
meet both your needs in the event that he wishes to -Plant something other than cucumbers in the
future. - -- - - - -

V WASTE UTILIZATION PLA,_,/
June 21, 1995
PRODUCER: Randy Thigpen
LOCATION: PO Box 748
Beulaville NC 28518
TELEPHONE: [phone]
TYPE OPERATION: Feeder to Finish Swine
NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 5832 hogs design capacity
The waste from your animal facility must, be land applied at a specified
rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant
nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where waste
is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses, nitrogen as the
limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application
cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always
apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can
utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infilit ration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available
water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land
eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre-
cautions, waste may be applied to landl�eroding at up to 10 tons per
acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is
raining, -or when the surface is frozen'.'; Either of these conditions
may result in runoff to surface waters'which is not allowed under DEM
regulations. Wind conditions should also be -considered to avoid drift
and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients
for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution,' the
waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground
not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage require.
meets should be based on the waste analysis eport from your waste
management facility. Attached you will find information on proper
sampling terchniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to
the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.

AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR '(gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
5832 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 11080.8 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
5832 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 13413.6 lbs. PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time
and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

acres in the fields listed will be more than the acres shown in
the tables.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic
land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be
nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent
over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production
facility will produce approximately 4548.96 pounds of plant
available.nitrogen per year in the sludge that will need to be
removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting
-he sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land,.as well
Special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.
;ee attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
caste water.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
he irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of
he soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs.
his rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure,
oil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application
nount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the
Dil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen
?plied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLA:.__,/ PAGE 5
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage
and -the -temporary storage must be removed on the average' bf._ once Every
6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in
your'structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report
for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper
application rate prior to applying the waste.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN` PAGE 6
Plans and Specifications
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff,
drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or.direct discharge
during operation or. land application. Any discharge of waste which
reaches surface water is prohibited. illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division
of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that
the producer either has owns or has long term access to adequate
land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not owri_
adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS
with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within
a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for';
waste application for the life expectancy of the production
facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility
to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is
a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals,
method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,..
available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that
restrict the rate of application for other' nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has .a Resource
Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System
(ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater
than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips
will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter
strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM.
(See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter'Strips and Standard 390
Interim Riparian Forest Buffers).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste application. Waste should not be applied when the
wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally
tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops
or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the
application does not occur during a season prone to~
flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina') in
the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.
Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or
to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur:'
in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies
and to provide uniformity of application.

WASTE UTILIZATION 'PLA,�
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated.soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.'
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in•
such a manner that no more than 20.to'25 percent of the leaf
area is covered..
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for
spring planted crops on soils with.a high potential for
leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these -soils
should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover
crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall
not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting'of a
crop on bare soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to
surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that
are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips
are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Straps)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of
dwellings other than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other
property and public right -of ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be &scharged into surface wasters,
drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site
by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be
applied on grassed waterways that discharge into water
courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the
application causes no runoff or;drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into
the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures
must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate
storage for a 25-year, 24--'_'_our storm event in addition to
one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be
established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments,
berths, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation
shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as
necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as
trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to
areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon. areas should be
kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures
should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage
or discharge.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAT, PAGE 8
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or
` terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and imple-
menting a "closure plan" which, will eliminate the possibility
of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should
be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks,
and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept
on site.

✓ The installed irrigation system has not been evaluated concerning nozzle size, spray pattern, spacing, pump size, pipe size,
etc. It is the responsibility of the producer to operate the system with the propel components and to supply the required
maintenance to assure that no runoff occurs. The producer is encouraged to have an irrigation specialist, possibly the dealer
where the system was purchased, prepare an operation and maintenance plan for the irrigation system so that the producer
knows how to operate the equipment to meet the non -discharge requirements: t
The waste management.plan' for this operation is based upon yields higher than what is now recommended by MRCS; .
however, these yields $re obtainable under high levels of management. This increase in projected yields is necessary since
the MRCS plan prepared for this operation at the time -.of construction was based upon these higher yields and the producer
oHowed NRCS guidelines when building this operation.
"' Because of limited acres for land application, and because the original NRCS waste utilization plan did not require
additional acres for buffers and irrigation inefficiency, it may be necessary for the producer to operate half sprinklers, on
solid set systems, along field edges and ditches. Also for traveling irrigation systems, a pull directly adjacent to the ditch with
only a 180 degree pumping radius may be needed to irrigate the entire field. Extreme caution should be exercised whin
applying waste close to ditches and wetlands to avoid any discharge.
CERTIFICATION FOR EXISTING FEEDLOTS
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERTIFICATION OF APPROVED ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR EXISTING ANIMAL
WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS SERVING FEEDLOTS
REQUIREMENTSIPURPOSE
In order to be deemed permitted by the Division of Environmental Management (DEM), the owner of any existing animal waste
management system constructed and operational before January 1, 1994 which is designed to serve greater than or equal to the animal
populations listed below is required to submit a signed certification form to DEM before January 1, 1998. Pasture operations are exempt
from the requirement to be certified.
100 head of cattle
75 horses
250 swine 4
1,000 sheep i
30,000 birds with a liquid waste system
The certification must be signed by the owner of the f2edlot (and manager if different from.the owner) and by any technical specialist";
designated by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission pursuant to 15A NCAC 6F .0001-.0005. The technical specialist must verify
that all applicable operation and maintenance standards and specifications can be met. Existing systems are not required to meet design,
and construction standards and specifications.
Although the actual number of animals on the facility may vary from time to time, the design capacity of the waste handling system should
be used to determine if a farm is subject to the certification requirement. For example, if the waste system for a feedlot is designed to
handle 300 hogs but the average population will be 200 hogs, then the waste management system requires a certification.
This certification is required by regulations governing animal waste management systems adopted by the Environmental Management
Commission (EMC) on December 10, 1992 (Ti tle.ISA NCAC 2H .0217).
CERTIFICATION FORM
On the reverse side of this page is the certification form which must be submitted to DEM before January 1, 1998. Assistance in
completing the form can be obtained from one of the local agricultural agencies such as the Soil and Water Conservation District, the
USDA -Soil Conservation Service, or the N.C.. Cooperative Extension Service. The Completed form should be sent to:

Dear Mr. Thigpen:
Enclosed is your animal waste management plan certification for the 5832 head finishing swine
operation on your farm. This certification is required by the Division of Environmental
Management in order for your operation to be "deemed permitted" by the state. TO
COMPLETE THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS, YOU MUST MAIL THE
CERTIFICATION FORM AND A COPY OF A COUNTY ROAD MAP ONLY, TO THE
ADDRESS ON THE BACK OF THE FORM. FAILURE TO MAIL THE FORM TO
THE DEM BEFORE DECEMBER 31, 1997 WILL RESULT IN YOUR OPERATION
NOT BEING DEEMED PERMITTED BY THE STATE.
You should read your entire plan very carefully -- all of the narrative information as well as
the fields that will receive the waste. Notice the crops to be grown, the months to apply the
waste, the yield required, and the amount of nitrogen to be applied. Also pay particular
attention to the twenty specifications at the back of the plan. This plan is a contract which you
have signed indicating how you plan to manage your swine operation to comply with state
laws. When DEM checks your operation, they will evaluate if you are following this plan
(contract). If you are not, they may issue you a notice of violation and assess penalties for the
non compliance. The plan should always be available at the farm -- not at an offsite location.
If you want to change your plan, please contact us and we will assist you in revising the plan
so that it will still meet state criteria. Also if 'you change the number of animals on the farm
or buy or sell a swine operation, you should be sure that you have properly notified the DEM
to avoid any possibilities of a violation.
Please be aware that this plan is only a written outline of how you plan to manage you animal
waste in order to comply with state laws. In order to actually comply with the laws, you must
implement the plan and manage your operation according to the plan to avoid having a
discharge. This management will involve pumping the lagoon at the right times at the proper
rates and amounts. You will need to plan ahead to be sure that you have enough storage in the
lagoon to carry you through the months when your crops are not actively growing. I also
recommend that you get waste samples each season before you start pumping so you will know
the nitrogen concentration of the waste and then can calculate the gallons of lagoon effluent
needed to supply the nitrogen demands of your crop. When you get your waste analysis, we
will help you calculate rates if you desire.
When you apply waste to your crops, I recommend that you keep a log of the day you pump,
hours pumped, the fields that you irrigate, the crop receiving the waste, the nitrogen
concentration of your lagoon effluent, and the yield you actually harvest on each field that
receives animal waste. This information will help you and others know that you are following

your waste management plan. Included with your waste plan are some field worksheets that
can be used to record information concerning waste applications. You are not required to use
these forms but they are provided for your use if you choose.
If you have any questions about your plan, please contact us and we will try to answer your
questions. Please remember that this office is not regulatory and will not determine violations,
penalties, etc. We are a technical agency with the expertise to help you comply with the state
law. At times, DEM may ask us to help them interpret your plan and you may even want us
to assist you in explaining your plan to DEM if they visit your farm. We will provide this
service to you upon request. Our primary goal is to encourage and educate producers to
properly manage animal waste. We hope this plan helps you accomplish 'this task.

TYPE OPERATION: Feeder to Finish Swine
NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 5832 hogs design capacity
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified
rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant
nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where waste
is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the
limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application
cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always
apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can
utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infilitration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available
water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land
eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre-
cautions; waste may be applied to 1and'eroding at up to 10 tons per
acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is
raining,.or when the surface is frozen`. Either of these conditions
may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM
regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift
and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients
for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the
waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground
not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems":-.._
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage require-
ments should be based on the waste analysis eport from your waste
management facility. Attached you will find information on proper
sampling terchniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to
the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements.
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2I4.0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed will be more than the acres shown in
the tables.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic
land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be
nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent
over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production
facility will produce approximately 4548.96 pounds of plant
available nitrogen per year in the sludge that will need to be
removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting
the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well
special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
waste water.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of
the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs.
This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure,
soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the
soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen
applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLt PAGE 5
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage
and ,the temporary storage must be removed on the average'of once every
6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in
your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure',.
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report
for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper
application rate prior to applying the waste.

Plans and Specifications
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff,
drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge
during operation or -land application. Any discharge of waste which
reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division
of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that
the producer either has owns or has long term access to adequate
land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own
adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS
with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within
a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application for the life expectancy of the production
facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility
to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is
a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals,
method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that
restrict the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource
Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System
(ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater
than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips
will be used where runoff leaves the field. These -filter
strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM.
(See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter'Strips and Standard 390
Interim Riparian Forest Buffers).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking.after
waste application. Waste should not be applied when the
wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally
tilled cropland. When appl'led to conservation tilled crops
or grassland,"the waste may be broadcast provided the
application does not occur during a season prone to
flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in
the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or
to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur
in order to control conditions conducive to odor or, flies
and to provide uniformity of application.

WASTE UTILIZATION'P' N PAGE 7
8. - Animal waste shall not be,applied to saturated.soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in
such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf
area is covered.
10. Waste nutrients shall,not be applied in fall or winter for
spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for
leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils
should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover
crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall
not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a
crop on bare soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to
surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that
are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips a,
are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells:
t
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of
dwellings other than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other
property and public right -of ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be d_Lscharged into surface.wasters,
drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site
by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be
applied on grassed waterways that discharge.into water
courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the
application causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into
the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures
must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate
storage for a 25-year, 24-1hour storm event in addition to
one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be
established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments,
berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation
shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as
necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetatioii••such as
trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to
areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be
kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures
should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage
or discharge.

WASTE UTILIZATION PI PAGE 8
19.- If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or
terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and imple-
menting a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility
of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should
be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks,
and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept
on site.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
----------------------------------------------------------
rCLEARING:
All trees and brush shall be removed from the construction area
before any excavating or fill is started. Stumps will be
removed within the area of the foundation of the embankment and
fill areas and all excavated areas. All stumps and roots exceeding
one (1) inch in diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of
one (1) foot. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all
debris. The foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before
placement of embankment material. Lagoon site (and pad site if
needed) to be stripped of topsoil (311) and stockpiled for use on dike
and pad slopes (2-3"). The topsoiling quantity is in excess of
amounts specified on page one (1).
C&t-off Trench:
--------------
A cut-off trench (when specified) shall be installed as shown in A.
the plans.
Construction:
------------
Construction of excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed
to the neat lines and grades as planned. Deviations from this will
require prior approval of the SCS. Earthfill shall be placed in
max. of b" lifts and not placed in standing water. Compaction
shall be performed by the construction equipment or sheeps-foot roller
during placement. The embankment.,of the lagoon shall be installed
using the more impervious materials. Construction of fill
heights shall include ten (10) percent for settlement. To
protect against seepage, when areas of unsuitable material are
encountered, they will need to be excavated a minimum of one (1) foot
below grade and backfilled and compacted with a SCS approved
material (i.e.-CL,SC,CH). Refer to the soil investigation
information in the plans for special considerations. Precautions
should be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion
and sedimentation.
vegetation:
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be
seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible
after construction according to seeding specifications sheet.

S-
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) with
minimum odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level
to be reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to
flushing operations and the amount of fresh water to be added to the
system.
The designed 6 months temporary storage is an estimated volume
based on : 1) waste from animals; 2) excess rainfall after
evaporation; and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day) rainfall,that
occurs on the average of once every 25 years. The volume of
waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly
constant throughout the year and from year to year. This
estimate is based on 7 inches of excess rainfall which is
equal to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in a year.
The average annual excess rainfall is approximately 8 inches.
Therefore, an average of 8 inches of excess rainfall will
need to be pumped each year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a
factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage
volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is
determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually
the outlet invert of pipe(s) from building(s). If the outlet
pipe is not installed on the elevation to begin pumping, a
permanent marker must be installed on this elevation to
indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be
established to stop pumping to maintain minimum treatment depth
(6 feet). Pumping can be started or stopped any time between
these two elevations for operating convenience as site
conditions permit (weather, soils, crop, and equipment to apply
waste without runoff or leaching)_
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set,
center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should
be taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field
or damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended tha the treatment lagoon be pre -
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids
should be covered with effluent at all times. When pre -
charging is completed, flush buildings with recycled lagoon
liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after
initial filling.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed.
This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see
Attachment B) before land application.

3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva-
tion 58.30 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump -out
when the fluid level reaches elevation 55.50 or before
fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of
favorable bacteria), The d-esign temporary storage, less 25 year 7
storm is 98057 cubic feet or 733463 gallons. As stated`.
before, this volume will vary considerably from year to year.
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one
(1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.4
inches per hour.
5. Keep vegetation on embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon
mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to
maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to
stable outlets.
8. Keep a minimum of 100 feet cropland buffer or 25 feet of grass
vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields, particularly adjacent
to ponds, lakes, streams, open ditches, etc. Do not pump within
300 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ-
mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

LIVESTOCK WASTE SAMPLING, ANALYSIS, AND CALCULATION OF LAND APPLICATION RATES
I. SAMPLE COLLECTION
A. Liquid Manure Slurry
1. Under -slotted -floor pit
a. Use a length of 1/2" conduit open on one end and that can be
easily sealed on the other end (e.g., by placing one's thumb
over the end of the conduit).
b. With both ends of the conduit open, extend -it into the manure
to the pit floor.
c. Seal the upper end of 'the conduit trapping the manure that has
entered"the lower end, remove and empty into a bucket or container.
c. Collect samples from at least 5 locations or at least enbugh
for a total of 1 quart of slurry.
e. Thoroughly mi.x this slurry and empty approximately 1/2 pint
into sampie container.
2. Exterior storage basin or tank
a. Make sure the manure has been well mixed or homogenized with a
liquid manure chopper -agitator. pump or propeller agitator.
b. Take samples from approximately 5 locations in the pit, from .the
agitator pump, or from the manure spreader and place.in a bucket.
c. Thoroughly mix and empty 1/2 pint into sample container.
II. SAMPLE PREPARATION AND TRANSFER
A. Place the sample for analysis into a flexible or expandable container that
can be sealed. The container should be rinsed clean with water and free
of any residues but should not be chlorinated or treated in any other way.
Dry litter may also be placed in a sealed plastic bag such as a freezer. bag.
B. The sample should- be refrigerated, iced or cooled, if possible, or trans-
ferred to the lab immediately.
C. Eland -delivery is the most reliable way of sample transfer, but it can also
be mailed.
D. If mailed, sample container should first be protected with a packing materia',
such as newspaper; then boxed or packaged with wrapping paper and taped.
E. The NCDA Plant Analysis Lab provides this service -for a nominal fee of
-$3-per sample which, should be forwarded along with the sample.

All dams built with technical assistance from the Soil Conservation Service
must have a hazard classification assigned by the person responsible for
approving the design. Most farm ponds, except in borderline cases, can
be classified. after a complete field investigation without assuming failure
and making breach studies. This data sheet is to be used for recording
the information obtained through field studies and for documenting the
hazard classification. Where there is a possibility for loss of life or
major property damage from a dam failure, an approved breach routing
procedure is to be used. (Consult with the area engineer.)
Hazard classifications of -dams are made by evaluating the possibility
for loss of life and the extent of damage that would result if the dam
should suddenly breach --that is --a section of the dam be suddenly and
completely washed out. It is to be assumed that a wall of water will be
released equal to the height of the dam. This flood wave will be reduced
in height as it moves down the flood plain. The wave height (depth of
flooding) should be evaluated for a sufficient distance downstream until
the estimated flood level will not cause significant damage to improvements,
such as homes, buildings, roads, utilities, reservoirs, etc.. The breach
flood level will be reduced depending on the valley -storage, slope, and
openess of the flood plain; however, in a narrow steep valley. slopes
steeper than 10% should be given special consideration. One method of
evaluation is to compare available valley storage (under flood conditions)
to impoundment storage (figured to the top of the dam) for each reach
evaluated with a judgment estimate made of the flood wave height at all
.critical points downstream,
Should there be any questions about the hazard classification for a dam,
the area engineer should be consulted before making design commitments.

delineated and labelled as "W". The other area labelled with
"NW" is non wetland and can be cleared.
I Have enclosed an application fore for a Converted Wetland for -
Non -Agricultural Use determination. This determination is
available if the area will not have any fill aiaterial placed in
the wetland area and all the excavation will be to+:en nut the
wetland area. To receive this determination, complete this form
and send it back- to me_ 1 will then review it and try to grant
the CWNA determination. If you do not need to clear the small
wetland area in order to complete your plans, then this form does
not need to be submitted. you can just wore;: around the wetland
area.
Please be aware that even if thr= C14NA deterfrtination -is granted.,
you will still need to get approval from the US Army Corp of
Engineers and the NC Division o� Environmental r''Eanageme-nt .
Again, if you do not alter the wetland area,, no additional
permits are required to work in the non -wetland area.
If you do not agree with this determination, you have the;%right
to appeal. To appeal send me a brit-_-F letter explaining why You
believe this determination is incorrect. Please be specific and

Dear ii 1 i
{
Enclosed is your copy of a wetland determination for tract(O�_ on which you
indicated your intent to clear some land. The attached map has been delineated
to show the area(s) in question. Each area to be cleared has been identified
with a symbol to denote its classification. Below is an explanation of the
various symbols that may pertain to your map.
W - Wetland - Area is a wetland and should not be cleared
if you wish to remain eligible for USDA programs..,
W - Wetland that can be Farmed - Area was cleared and
drained prior to 12/23/85 and area can be farmed
as long as no additional drainage is installed.
` Existing drainage, as shown on map, can be maintained.
+_ NW - Non wetland — Area is non wetland and can be cleared
and planted without violating Farm Bill.
NW -,Non wetland - Area has hydric soils but is non wetland
due to hydrology modification prior to 12/23/85. May
need to check with the US 'Army Corp of Engineers or
i
the NC DEM to determine if: additional permits are
necessary.
CW - Converted Wetland - Area was cleared after 12/23/85.
Can be used for grass production but cannot be used
for annual crop production without losing eligibility
for USDA programs.
CW _ - Converted Wetland after 11/28/90 - Area was cleared
after 11/28/9e and is a converted wetland. Clearing
constitutes a violation of the 1990 Farm Bill. In
order to regain eligibility for USDA programs, area
must be restored. Consult with the SCS about an
approved restoration plan before beginning any
restoration.
I have tried to make this determination as fairly as possible. However if you
believe this determination is incorrect, you have the right to appeal. To
appeal send me a brief letter explaining why you believe this determination is
incorrect. Send the letter to the address on the letterhead. This letter
should be received within 45 days of your receipt of this letter.

_ Kind of Operation o
Type. of Waste Facility
Your animal waste management facility has been designed for a
given storage capaciy . When the waste reaches the designed
level, it must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or ground water. The plant nutrients
in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
.commercial -fertilizer required for the crops on the°fields
where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan
uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be
analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests
are encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for
realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste a
utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of
the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an `
environmentally safe manner. Always'apply waste based on the
needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the
waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates and leaching potental. Waste shall not be applied to
land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. Do not
apply waste on saturated soils or on land when the surface is
frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to.
surface waters. Wind conditions should also be considered to
avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value.
of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or
not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste
or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical
nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements may be more or less based on the waste analysis
report from your waste management facility.
The design of your waste management facility is based on the
following:
Amount of Waste Produced Per Year:
36 7 2- animals x waste /animal/yr = 6 �77 A-vi total waste
1 produced.

" rage 1
` =Amount o N tro en V.3zmdu- 'etl Per, Year:
animals x lbs N/animal/yr = % D�� total •'N r
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You.• shoAd
plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the wastd.in
a timely manner, Your facility is designed for days of
storage. Therefore, it will need to be pumped every /p` -
months.
The Following acreage for waste application will be needed
based on the crop to be grown and surface application:

Dear Mr. Thigpen:
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 919/733-0026.

Dear Mr. Thigpen:
This is to inform you that your completed registration form required by the recently
modified nondischarge rule has been received by the Division of Environmental Management
(DEW, Water Quality Section.
On December 10, 1992 the Environmental Management Commission adopted a water
quality rule which governs animal waste management systems. The goal of the rule is for
animal operations to be managed such that animal waste is not discharged to surface waters
of the state. The rule allows animal waste systems to be "deemed permitted" if certain
minimum criteria are met (15A NCAC 2H .0217). By submitting this registration you have
met one of the criteria for being deemed permitted.
We would like to remind you that existing feedlots which meet the size thresholds
listed in the rule, and any new or expanded feedlots constructed between February 1, 1993
and December 31, 1993 must submit a signed certification form (copy enclosed) to DEM by
December 31,1997. New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must
obtain signed certification before animals are stocked on the faun. Certification of an
approved animal waste management plan can be obtained after the Soil and Water
Conservation Commission adopts rules later this year.
We appreciate you providing us with this information. If you have any question about
the new nondischarge rule, please contact David Harding at [phone].
