Re: Waste Utilization Plan Revision
Dear Mr. Cobb,
On December 12, 2005, you visited the River Road farm in Duplin County for its annual
inspection. As you are aware, we are in the process of closing that farm and ,lagoon. At
the time of your visit, I explained that we were applying the sludge as a preplant
application to a wheat crop. I also stated that we were considering using annual ryegrass
as the crop instead of planting the wheat. We did decide to use the ryegrass. With that
said, please find attached a revised WUP reflecting the ryegrass as the crop. If you
should have any questions, please call me at my office 910-289-7298 ext. 203 or on my
mobile at 910-284-2813.
Sincerely,,
Kevin Pope-

NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 1200 ..
(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 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. 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, 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 precautions, waste may be
applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons 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 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 requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, 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
21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission_

THIS TABLE IS NOT NEEDED IF WASTE IS NOT BEING APPLIED BY IRRIGATION, HOWEVER A SIMILAR TABLE
WILL BE NEEDED FOR DRY LITTER OR SLURRY.
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 exceed Elevation 'see lagoon staff gauge.
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or
Sail and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for
assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application .rate prior to
applying the waste.
Narrative of operation:
This plan is written in order to close the
removing the sludge with a dredge and
system. Part of the sludge has already been removed from the lagoon and utilized according _
to the previous waste utilization plan.
The sludge analysis was used to formulate PAN was from an actual sample of sludge taken
from the lagoon. - _

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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 copy 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).
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.)
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.
Page 5

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
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.
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 from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal
waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be
applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
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 discharged into surface waters, 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 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 courses 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.
Page 6

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
17 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.
18 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.
19 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 propellant with no further applications animal waste
during the crop season.
20 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.
21 Waste shall be tested within 69 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
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites
shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
22 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

As a follow up to my phone call on Friday, December 12th, that day the farm
had a discharge pipe clean -out pit stop up and spill approximately 200
gallons of flush water. All was contained in a low area between the
clean -out and the spray field and pumped onto a mobile tank and returned to
the lagoon the same day. The cause of the blockage was a piece of metal
from inside the house which was removed. If you have any questions, please

Dear Murfam Enterprises, L.L.C.:
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management PIans 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 Dean Hunkele on 1 1/18/99 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 Dean Hunkele the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Dean Hunkele, 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 Dean Hunkele at [phone]. If within 90 days you
are unable to provide Dean Hunkele 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 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 irrigafion system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
PIease 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

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 ail 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.

Dear Mr. Shiver:
RE,CEIVED
MAR 10 1998
BY:
Since your February 2nd visit to the farms, the following actions have been taken:
1) The irrigation event in question was performed to gain freeboard in
preparation for a forecast of a five to six inch rainfall in the coming days.
The irrigation volume attempted was approximately six -tenths of an inch
and was ceased immediately upon significant ponding occurring and the
area bermed to ensure containment.
2) In previous weeks, Murphy Family Farms has improved on the crop fields
extensively through heavy land planing and field ditch improvement and
addition. This work continues to improve the irrigatability of the site.
3) The site will be subsoiled to improve the infiltration rate by July 1st.
Factors including high -above -average winter rainfall, a high water table, and crop
immaturity have lessened the soils normal ability to absorb water. We will
continue to take this into account and closely monitor applications. We
respectfully request this action to be considered a Notice of Deficiency.

Subject: NOV for River Road Sow Farm, Facility 31-110
On February 1 Oth, 1998, the inspector from your office reviewed our irrigation
records, and noted that applications on four spray runs exceeded that of the limit in the
nutrient utilization plan.
Please consider the following facts. Hurricane Fran and Tropical Storm Josephine
filled lagoons in the fall of 1996. Although wheat was planted in November 1996, we
could not begin nutrient applications until the end of January 1997 and at that point had
only 21 inches of freeboard on this large lagoon.
Also, the Technical Specialist had no choice but to write the Nutrient Utilization
Plan for 30 bushels/ acre yield of wheat (72 lb. N/acre), but actual yield for 1997 on this
site was 50 bushels/acre (120 lb. N/acre), as noted on the records forms. Taking actual
crop removal into account, only two spray runs were slightly over -fertilized by 9 lbs.
N/acre and 16 lbs. N/acre, respectively.
We believe nutrient application should match nutrient removal and farmers should
have the freedom to produce the best yield they can without harm to our environment.
We keep all of our records faithfully and honestly, and we do not feel that they should be a
tool to punish the grower, if changes must be made we are always willing to accept
whatever your agency recommends or requires.
Please reconsider the issuance of the NOV in light of these facts.

arrived. Since your visit, we dug down in the sunken area and found an old drain tile
which we repaired. No further problems are anticipated.
If you have any question, please call John Bizic at 910-289-6439.

Subject; NOV for River Road Sow Farm, Facility 3 l -1 l0
On February 1 Oth, 1998, the inspector from your office reviewed our irrigation
records, and noted that applications on four spray runs exceeded that of the limit in the
nutrient utilization plan.
Please consider the following facts. Hurricane Fran and Tropical Storm Josephine
Red lagoons in the fall of 19%. Although wheat was planted in November 1996, we
could not begin nutrient applications until the end of January 1997 and at that point had
only 21 inches of freeboard on this large lagoon.
Also, the Technical Specialist had no choice but to write the Nutrient Utilization
Plan for 30 bushels/ acre yield of wheat (72 lb. N/acre), but actual yield for 1997 on this
site was 50 bushels/acre (120 lb. Nlacre), as noted on the records forms. Taking actual
crop removal into account, only two spray runs were slightly over -fertilized by 9 lbs.
N/acre and 16 lbs. Mere, respectively.
We believe nutrient application should match nutrient removal and farmers should
have the freedom to produce the best yield thcy can without harm to our environment.
We keep all of our records raithfully and honestly, and we do not feel that they should be a
toot to punish the grower. If changes must be made we arc always willing to accept
whatever your agency recommends or requires.
Pieaao reconsider the lssaanee of the NOV in light of these facts.

Dear Mr. Bizic:

NORTH CAROWNA QEPARTME.IVT OF
ENVIRONMENT AND NauRAL REsbuRCEs
You are hereby notified that the River Road Sow Farm, which has been deemed
permitted to have a nondischarge permit for an animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A
NCAC 2H .0217, has been found to be in violation of its 2H .0217 Permit.
On February 10, 1998, staff from the Wilmington Office of the Division of Water
Quality, inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. The waste
application records for spray runs 1-4 indicated an over application of nitrogen to the wheat
crop in 1997. The waste utilization plan limits the application rate for wheat in spray runs 1-4
at 72 lbs of nitrogen per acre (lbs N/ac); however, 86.7 lbs N/ac, 129.3 lbs N/ac,136 lbs N/ac,
and 130.7 lbs N/ac were applied to spray runs 1-4, respectively. The total over application
rate was 194.7 lbs N/ac. This is a violation of your certified animal waste management plan.
The Division of Water Quality will proceed to revoke River Road Sow Farm's permit unless
the following conditions are completed:
1. Immediately eliminate the discharge of wastewater and/or list actions to correct the noted
violation.
2. Make any modifications needed to ensure there will be no future discharges.

To remain a deemed permitted facility, you must notify this office in writing within
fourteen (7) days of the receipt of this notice, what actions will be taken to comply with your
waste management plan. Failure to comply with the above conditions will cause the existing
animal waste management system serving your animal operation to be considered in operation
without a permit as required by North Carolina General Statute 143-2IS. 1.
Please be advised that this assessment does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from
taking enforcement actions for this violation or any past or future violations.
When the required corrective actions are complete, please notify this office in writing. If
You have any questions concerning this matter please do not hesitate to contact either Mr.

Facility Number: 31-110
Duplin County
Dear Mr. Bizic:
On March 17, 1998, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality observed that animal waste was being applied to a spray field during a rain event. It
was also observed that waste had ponded in this spray field and was draining into a sink hole in
the field. As we discussed, immediate steps should be taken to ensure that waste is never
applied during rain events or in excess of those limits established by your certified animal
waste management plan. In addition, steps should be taken to determine the location of the
sink hole outlet. Finally, all spray field sink holes must be fixed. Waste should not be applied
in fields with sink holes until this problem is corrected.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, all corrective actions must be made within seven
(7) days of the receipt of this notice. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing its
permitted status, requiring it to obtain an individual non discharge permit.
Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge waste
water to the surface waters of the State without a permit. The Division of Water Quality has
the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day per violation.

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 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
maize 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, leaching
potential& 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 precautions, waste may be applied to land 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 nmo$'to surface waters which is nor
allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid-drilh
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 -
applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or
disldng 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 requirements should be based on the waste analysis
rep orr from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on
proper sampling techniques, 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.

REQUIRED SPECEFTCATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by rtmofl 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 he documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns orhas
an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. Ifthe-
producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall
provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable
proximity, allowing hinvher the use ofthe 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 is North
Carolina" for guidance.)
7: Liquid waste snail be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
nmoi£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, orwhen the_
surface is frozen.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
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 sods.
with a high potential for leaching: Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should
be held to a mininntm 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.
11. Any new swine :Facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the-

Dear Murphy Family Farms:
Subject: NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY
River Road Sow Farm
Facility Number: 31-110
Duplin County
On August 20, 1997, Staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality
inspected your animal operation and the Iagoon(s) serving this operation. It was observed that waste had
overflowed from a collection tank to a nearby drainage ditch.. While no discharge of waste to waters of the
State was observed at this time, 15A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1) prohibits the direct discharge of waste during
operation.
USDA -MRCS requirements specify that animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the State by
runoff, drift, man-made conveyances or direct application. As discussed at the time of inspection, the
drainage ditch should be blocked to prevent further flow of waste, and the ponded waste should be pumped
into the lagoon. In addition, the inlet pipe to the lagoon should be extended and the eroded area backfilled
with a suitable clay material and reseeded with an appropriate vegetative cover. A better vegetative cover
should be established for the grassed waterway in spray field #2 as per USDA-NRCS guidelines. We suggest
that you contact your service company, local NRCS or Soil and Water District office for any assistance they
may be able to provide to correct the situation.

Dear Mr. Raynor:
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
OEM), Water Quality Section.
On December 10, 1992 the Environmental Management Commission adopted a water
quality rule which governs animal waste management systems. Ile 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 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 farm. Certification of an approved animal
waste management plantcan 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].
