This is to acknowledge receipt of your request that your facility no longerbe registered as an animal waste
management system per the terms of 15A NCAC 2H .0217. The information you provided us indicated that your
operation's 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
Poultry with a liquid wastes stem
30,000

The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is requesting a status update concerning your Animal Waste
Utilization Plan (WUP). It has been one year since we requested a status update and as of February 10, 2000
your facility has still not been properly certified. As of December 31, 1997 you are in violation of not
obtaining a certified animal waste management plan. Until the concerns with your Waste Utilization Plan are
cleared up with the Onslow County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) your facility will remain
uncertified. Concerns on this plan include an annual excess of 370 pounds of PAN, the fact one of the lagoons
had sludge up to the surface and only 60 days temporary storage. This plan was certified in August of 1996
and a copy was provided to the District November 1996. The District asked for lagoon volume documentation
and pointed out the excess Nitrogen (N). Lenfestey responded with a reduction to 550 sows and a volume of
252,751 cubic feet for the two lagoons. On September 30, 1997, Lenfestey revised the plan to 585 sows and
90 days storage. This time he used the 0.67 CF/lb AALW without including the remaining revisions in the
standard i.e., excess washwater, extra 25 year storm, etc. According to Onslow County SWCD calculations he
does not have even the required treatment volume. This facility will not be considered certified until this plan
is corrected and resubmitted to the Onslow County SWCD.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with the requirement to develop and implement a certified animal waste
management plan by December 31, 1997. The information requested by this letter must be submitted in

This Ietter 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, DRYS, 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.

Dear Dan 4tannina:
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application. Additional
information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by March 31, 1999:
I. Your application form and inspection reports indicate that there are currently two lagoons at this facility.
Please provide lagoon capacity documentation (design, as -built calculations, etc.) for the other lagoon at
your facility. The lagoon information was sent for the one with a capacity of 252,751 cubic feet. Be sure
to include any site evaluations, wetland determinations, or hazard classifications that may be applicable.
2. Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) was missing irrigation parameters. Irrigation events are to be listed in
the WUP as the maximum application allowable for that soil type from the time the pumps are turned on
until the time they are shut off. It is currently recommended that total application amounts not exceed one
inch in any application event for any soil type. Please have your Technical Specialist add irrigation.
parameters to your WUP.
3. An Operation and Maintenance Plan and an Emergency Action Plan were missing from your WUP.
4. The NRCS Required Specifications were missing from your WUP.
5. Best Management Practices (BMPs) that are to be implemented at this facility should be identified (check
the appropriate BMPs) on the Insect Control Checklist and on the Odor Control Checklist. Also, please
identify the appropriate mortality management method on the Mortality Management Checklist.
6. The WUP was not signed and dated by the facility owner or the technical specialist.
7. There is an acreage discrepancy between the WUP and the maps provided. Field 1 is listed as 8 acres in
the WUP but is only shown as 7.54 acres on the map provided. Field 2 is shown as 4 acres in the WUP but
appears to be 3.68 acres on the map. Please address these differences when providing additional
information.
Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the
technical specialist. Please reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested
information. All information should be signed, sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The

This letter is in reference to the hold being placed on the certification on the New River Sow Farm
(formally Dan Manning Sow Farm), in Onslow County. In recent correspondence with the permitting/
certification department of your division, we became aware that the 0200 certification of this farm,
prepared by John Lenfestey, PE, was being questioned. The questions center around the apparent lack of
volume in one or more of the lagoons on this farm. We, along with MRCS, have done volume checks of
the lagoons in question, and found that there were errors made in Mr. Lenfestey's calculations, with actual
volume being about 30% of his estimate. The lack of volume in these lagoons can lead to an increase rate
of sludge accumulation. My experiences have shown that the analysis of the liquid in an undersized
lagoon is about the same as a properly sized lagoon, and the analysis of this lagoon bears this out.
In the Fall of 1998, Mr. Manning cleaned the sludge out of two of the lagoon structures on his
farm using the pump and haul method. This required a substantial capital investment, but freed much of
the storage available up for digestion. In addition, Mr. Manning recently began treating his lagoons with a
product from Stewart Water Solutions that will increase the biological activity and reduce the rate of sludge
buildup. We have done some limited testing of this product and believe it to be effective.
The long range plan for this farm is to close it completely in five years. For this reason, I am
requesting a meeting with you to discuss the possibility of entering into an agreement allowing this farm to
operate, using this product, until it closes. I feel that this can be done without any problems.
Please respond in writing with a date that fits in your schedule for a meeting at the farm to discuss
this option. If you have any questions, please call me at [phone] ext. 4556.
Sincere y,

Dear Mr. Manning:
On August 7, 1997, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality
inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was observed that your
lagoons did not have sufficient freeboard. Further inspection revealed that the Certified Animal Waste
Management Plan does not meet the requirements specified under 15A NCAC 2H .0217 and the USDA-
NRCS Practice Standard for Waste Utilization Criteria, Code 633, (12), (15) and Waste Treatment
Lagoon, Code 359.
As I discussed with you during the inspection. The Waste Utilization Plan which this facility has
been operating under does not meet the above mentioned requirements. A review of the nutrient balance
for this facility indicates that the facility as designed produces more nitrogen than can be utilized by the
present cropping plan. In addition, the secondary lagoon appears to have an inordinate build up of sludge
severely limiting the treatment and storage volume of the structure. The Certified Animal Waste
Management Plan must be revised. I would suggest utilizing all of the available acreage in your waste
application rotation to meet the requirements. The excess sludge will need to be removed from the lagoon
to regain the required capacity.
USDA-NRCS guidelines require a minimum of one foot and seven inches of freeboard. This is
based on the amount of storage space needed to contain a 25-year, 24 hour design storm event without
a discharge. USDA-NRCS requirements also specify that the waste utilization plan will contain
documentation that the producer has adequate means for disposal of the animal waste generated on the
farm.

application for your particular operation. 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. 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 ailowed 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 the
proper sampling techniques, preparation and transfer of waste samples to the lab for

QTE: The applicator is cautioned the P and K may he over applied while meeting
the N requirements. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will
require farmers in some eastern counties of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses Nitrogen.

Cedar Grove Sow Farm Page 4

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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.
Illegal discharges are subject to the 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 owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the
waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he
shall provide NRCS with a copy of the written agreement (sample enclosed) 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 ann 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 the 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 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 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
Cedar Grove Sow Farm Page 5

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
control conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.
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 the 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 Strips)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not 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 discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by
a 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
directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided the application
causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Doffiestic 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 contain a maximum
operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in
addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(Ingoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be
Cedar Grove Sow Farm . Page 6

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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.
19. ff 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.
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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: Dan Manning dlbla Cedar Grove Sow Farm
Location: 310 Fowler Manning Road
Richlands, NC 28574
Telephone: [phone]
Type of Operation: Swine, Farrow to Wean
Number of Aniinals: 650 Head
,(Design Capacity)
The waste utilization plan is based on the soil types, crops to be grown, and method of
application for your particular operation. The waste from your animal facility must be land
applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface a6dlor 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 Bolding capacities. Normally waste shall
not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 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 nutrients for crap 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 arid reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content 7
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 the
proper sampling techniques, preparation and transfer of waste samples to the lab for
analysis.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements far compliance with 15A
NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.
_.. 650 animals X290.13- (amt.) waste/animal/year = 108,572 ftft'_ (amt.) waste/year
Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) Produced Per Year
850 animals X _ 5.40 lbs. PAN/animal/year = 3.510-- lbs. PAN/year (PAN from N.C.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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. Illegal
discharges are subject to the 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 owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the
waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he
Shall provide NRCS with a copy of the written agreement (sample enclosed) with a
landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land
for waste application for the lire expectancy of the production facility. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure ann update of the Waste Utilization
Plan when there is a change iri tyre 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 the 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 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 Technical Reference- Environment file for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates riot 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 porrding should occur in order to
control conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.
Cedar Grove Sow Farm . Page 5

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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 the crop
on bare soil.
'I 1. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance
cony be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter
strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13, Animal waste shall not 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 discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a
discharge or by aver -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
directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided 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 contain a maximum
operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in
addition to the 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.
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.
Cedar Grove Sow Farm Page 6

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion,
leakage or discharge.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the Owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing P "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.

Richlands, NC
Dear Mr. Holland:
This is in response to your letter dated March 11., 1997 for the
subject farm.
Mr. Manning is now operating Cedar Grove Sow Farm at a maximum
capacity of 600 head, farrow to wean. This change is reflected
in the Animal Waste Management Plan Certification and the Waste
Utilization Plan,
I would like to address the items in your letter at this time.
Item 1 - The storage volume available in the existing lagoons is
252,751 cubic feet with a total required volume of
243,851 cubic feet.
item 2 - The soil classification on Page 2 of the WUP has been
change to FoA.
Item 3 - After reducing the number of animals at this farm,
there is a surplus of 40 lbs. of N per year. I do not
consider this to be a significant amount and I do not
recommend making any additional changes at this time.

Cedar Grove Sow Farm
April 4, 1997
Page Two
This number is based on information provided by the
NRCS on the amount of plant available N produced per
year per animal. The actual amount being applied by
Mx. Manning may differ from these published numbers. I
do not have a waste water analysis for this particular
farm.
Item 4 - The soil type and application rate on Page 4 of the WUP
has been corrected.
I have mailed a copy of these changes to Mr. Manning and I am

Dear Mr. Lenfestey :
This letter is in response to the Animal Waste Management
Plan Certification and Waste Utilization Plan we received
from you on Cedar Grove Farm dated November 1, 1996.
In reviewin these plans which you completed on August 19,
1996, the D?strict would like further clarifications in
several areas.
Cedar Grove Sow Farm has a discrepancy which we feel need
clarification in the Animal Waste Management Plan
Certification: (1) Amount of storage available in the
existing waste lagoon/storage ponds.
Cedar Grove Sow - Farm has several discrevancies which we
feel need clarification in the Waste Utilization Plan:
(1) FoA soil type on page 2 needs to be changed to Au$.
(2) Amount of N produced on page 3 exceeds the amount of
waste utilized.
(3) Soil type and application rate (In/Hr.) on page 4 needs
to be corrected.
If we can be of further assistance, please notify.
Sincerely,
'9 ( �

Dear Mr. Manning:
IDE-=HNR
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 I SA 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 Mr. -Manning:
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
(DEM), 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 (I5A 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 ccrtfflcatigA 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 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].
