Swine Waste Collection,
Application System
Duplin County
Dear Ms. Edens:
Treatment, Storage and
The Animal Feeding Operations Unit is returning the enclosed project due to the following
required items that were omitted from this submittal:
1. A completed permit application form to request the reactivation of this farm is missing in the
application package. A blank copy of the application form is enclosed for your convenience.
2. The waste utilization plan is written for 1910 Feeder to Finish operation. However, the farm
was originally registered for 600 Feeder to Finish capacity. Because of the current
moratorium on swine farm expansion in North Carolina, the facility cannot be permitted
beyond its registered capacity unless it meets any of the exceptions provided in House Bill
550.
3. The facility was never certified for use at its registered capacity. Please complete and return
the enclosed Animal Waste Management Plan Certification form with the application
package..
4. The facility has been inactive for more than four years and, hence, needs to be brought up to
current NRCS standards before permitting.
5. The application package includes design for a new lagoon. Please verify. if the proposed
lagoon has already been built. Please also verify that all the storage structures including this
lagoon are properly certified and accounted for in the certified animal waste management
plan.

This is to acknowledge receipt of your request that your facility no longer be registered as an animal waste
management system per the terms of 15A NCAC 2H .0217. The information you provided us indicated that your
operations animal population does not exceed the number set forth by 15A NCAC 2H .0217, "and therefore does not
require registration for a certified animal waste management plan.
Under 15A NCAC 2H .0217, your facility is deemed permitted if waste is properly managed and does not
reach the surface waters of the state. Any system determined to have an adverse impact on water quality may be
required to obtain a waste management plan or an individual permit. You are reminded that a discharge of wastes to
the surface waters of the state will subject you to a civil penalty up to $25,000 per day.
Should you decide to increase the number of animals housed at your facility beyond the threshold limits
listed below, you will be required to receive approval from the Division of Water Quality prior to stocking animals
to that level. Threshold numbers of animals are as follows:
Swine
250
Confined Cattle
100
Horses
75
Sheep
1,000
Pou!try with a liquid wastes stem
30,000

Dear Ms. Mat" -
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.

Dear Ms. Matthis:
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_ ertain minimum criteria are
met (15XNCAC 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 certificatign form (copy enclosed) to DEM by
December 31. 1997, New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must
obtain signed certification btfqrt animalsk n h farm. 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].
Sincerely,
Steve Tedder, Chief
