Appendix 8. Work~ for sludge volume and treabnent vokwe Revised
August 2008
the average thrcrmess of the sludge layer elms the thickne= of the existing liquid (sl%Klge-tree) treatment zone are determined
from the information on the Lagoon Sludge Survey Form ( Iten-a O and P, respectively). In ttds example. the average sludge
layer thickness is 2.5 feet and the existing I* ld treatment zone is 3.5 feet. ll the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume,
see notes at encl of the wotksheet. The 4lmensfons of the lagoon as measured and the side slope are needed
for caltuhdons of sludge volume and of total treatment volume. It the lagoon Is a standard geometric shape, the sludge
volume and the treatment volume In the lagoon can be estimated by using standard equations. For approximate volumes
of rectangular lagoons with constantt side slope, cakwtate length and width at the midpoint of the layer. and multiply by layer
thickness to calculate layer volume, as shown in the example. For irregular shapes, convert the total surface area to a square
or rectangular shape. For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the "Prismoidal Equations" may be used.

Tart Farm
Animal Waste Management System
Duplin County
In accordance with your application received on 22-Jan-07, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to O R Blizzard, 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 Tart Farm, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no greater than
the following swine annual averages:
Wean to Finish: 0 Feeder to Finish: 4410 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 your convenience is
a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay
careful attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit.

This WUP has been revised to reflect installation of a center Pivot irrigation system, installed by
RainMan Irrigation.
Pulls iL and 2 remaim the same as in the Previous WUP. Pull 3 has been reduced to account for
overlap from the Pivot system. These Pulls may be irrigated using either a Traveling Gun or
AerWay System.
When using an AerWay System pulls iBuf and 2Buf will be included to maximize system

The Waste ization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan This operation. This plan provides an estinate 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 grown, 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 being 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.

The Ntitrient Management Recommendations table shown below proNides an annual aim man- of the ntflrient
management plan developed for this operation. This table proNides a nutrient balance for the listed fields and crops
for each rear of the plan. Required nutrients are based on the realistic Melds of the crops to be grown. their nutrient
requirements and soil test results. The quantity of nutrient supplied by each source is also identified.
The total gtiantity of nitrogen applied to each crop should not exceed the required amount. However, the quantity of
other nutrients applied may exceed their required amounts. This most commonly occurs when manure or other
in -products are utilized to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop. Nutrient management plans may require that the
application of animal waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this
nutrient are detected in a field. In such situations, additional nitrogen applications from nonorganic sources ma}- be
requiredtostlpply the recommended amounts of nitrogen.

The Required Soil Test Values shown in the following table provide a summary of recommended actions that should betaken if soil tests indicate
excessive levels of copper or zinc. Fields that receive manure must have an annual soil analysis forthese elements. High levels of zinc and copper can
adversely affect plant growth. Alternative crop sites must be used when the concentration of these metals approach excessive levels. Site life can be
estimated by dividing the amount of copper and zinc to be applied in lbs/acre by 0.036 and 0,071, respectively and multiplying the result by o.85. By
adding this quantity to the current soil index for copper or zinc, we can predict life of the site for waste disposal.
In addition to copper and zinc indices, this table also provides a summary of lime recommendations for each crop based on the most recent soil sample.
Application of lime at recommended rates is necessary to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production.

The folloMng Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen utilization table proNides an estimate of the number of acres needed for
sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen
concentrations for each source. the number of animals in the facilih- and the plant available nitrogen application
rates shown in the second column.
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At
clean out, this material mELst be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic 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 sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray- fields should not be
used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care sho«Id be. taken not to load effluent application fields x�ith
high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to siurface i%-ater
moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing 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 capaciiy
mailable at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage capacity- is calculated as the design
storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a
value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan
at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero.
Ak ailable 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 capacity- is greater than the design storage capacity,
this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If
available storage capacity- is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design
storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application inten-al
in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

�enuired SiDecifications For Animal Waste Manamernent
t. 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 reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. 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 operation, increase in
the number of animals, method of application, receiving
crop type, or available land.
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.
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
io tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are
installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS
Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
i. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking
after waste application. Waste should not be applied when
there is danger of drift from the land application field.
464549 Database Version Date Printed: 1/21/2oo6 Specification Page i
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 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" 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 odor and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen.
g. 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. 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 3o days prior to planting of the crop
or forages breaking dormancy.
n. 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 5o feet from
any residential property boundary and canal. Animal
waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or
after October i, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet
to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 10o feet to wells
464.r-,94 Database Version :,�.i Date Printed: ii2l/2006 Suecification Pave 2
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than Zoo 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 -spraying. Animal waste may be 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. if 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 erosion.
464.sgc) Database Version ^.1 Date Printed::/2i/2oo6 SL)ecification Pa<,e
iq. 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.
2o. 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 markers.
A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage
volume for waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 6o days of utilization and soil
shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste
products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the
rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions
require waste to be applied based on other nutrients,
resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based
rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored
and alternative crop'sites shall be used when these metals
approach excessive levels, pH shall be adjusted and
maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste
analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years.
Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained
for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be
maintained for five (5) years.
2a. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets
North Carolina regulations.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-92
Duplin County
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. IRR1, IRR2, 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.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at (919) 733-5083 ext. 571.

Dear Mr. Blizzard, Jr.:
North Carolina General Statute 90 A-47.2 requires the owner of each animal waste
management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or
more horses, 1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid
animal waste management system, to designate a properly certified operator as the
Operator in Charge (OIC). Our records indicate that the OIC you previously
designated is no longer a certified animal waste management system operator.
As the owner of a registered animal operation with an animal waste management
system, you must designate a certified animal waste management system operator as
the Operator in Charge. Enclosed is an Operator in Charge Designation Form
specifically for your facility. Please return this completed form to this office by
June 12, 1998. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as
absolving you of the responsibility and liability for any past or future violations for
your failure to designate an appropriate Operator in Charge.
If you have any questions regarding the certification of an operator, or need assistance
in locating a certified operator in your area, please contact
Cindy Dudley with the Technical Assistance and Certification Unit at

Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface water 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 the 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:
1. 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.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching
potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding
capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre
per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre
annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate
filter strips are established.
4. 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.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
r
Page: 1
Ai:iMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
6. 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 not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking
dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce
odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to
change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different
application methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to,apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient
content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste
analysis report and volume of waste from your waste management facility. In some
cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to
be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to
accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to
maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production.
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.)
4410 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = B379 bons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
4410 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 10143 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.

Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or winter annuals follow
summer annuals.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing,
hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed
when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle
should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four
inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed
for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small
grain to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced
yields and less nitrogen- being utilized. Rather than
cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as
is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small
grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or
silage two to three times during the season, depending on
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small -grain, etc, is late
September or early October. Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a
height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

SLUDGE APPLICATION:
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 1631.7 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
- -- - -- - - - — --- - -----Page: 6
AN.MAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 8158.5
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 27.195 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need G5.268 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 2511 depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods. ,
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.
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.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application
rates and amounts.

* This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil
.assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over
applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot
be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil
conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180.00 days of temporary storage and the temporary
storage must be removed on the average of once every 6.00 months. In no instance
should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24
hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour
storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader
equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to 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.
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED 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.
2. 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 waste,
he/she shall provide a cppy 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 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, climatic
conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the
rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year.
Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10
tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves
the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
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" 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 odor or flies.
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 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. 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 the crop or forages breaking dormancy.

Dear Mr. Tart:
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 91gn33-0026.
