Facility # 19-3
Pittsboro Livestock, Inc.

Dear Mr. White:
On June 30, 1997, Terri Hollingsworth from the Raleigh Regional
Office conducted a compliance inspection of the subject animal
facility. This inspection is part of the Division's efforts to
determine compliance with the State's animal waste nondischarge
rules.
The inspection determined that the hog operation was not
discharging wastewater into waters of the State and that the waste
lagoon had the required amount of freeboard. As a result of the
inspection, the facility was found to be in compliance with the
State's animal nondischarge regulations.
I would like to remind you of the requirement to have an approved
Animal Waste Management Plan by December 31, 1997. This plan must
be certified by a designated technical specialist or a professional
engineer. For a listing of certified technical specialists or
assistance with your waste management plan contact your local Soil
and Water Conservation District office.
The Raleigh Regional Office appreciates your cooperation in this
matter. If you have any questions regarding this inspection please
call Terri Hollingsworth at [phone].

Dear Mr. White:
On July 13, 1995, Mr. Ted Cashion from this office conducted a compliance
inspection of the subject facility. This inspection is a part of the Division's
efforts to determine potential problems easociated with waste disposal systems.
Mr. Cashion's site visit determined that wastewater from this facility was
not discharging to the surface waters of the State. Nor were any manmade pipes,
ditches, or other prohibited conveyances (for the purpose of willfully
discharging wastewater) observed.
Effective wastewater treatment and facility stewardship are a
responsibility of all animal facility operators. The Division of Environmental
Management is required to enforce water quality regulations in order to protect
the natural resources of the State. Accordingly, illegal discharges of
wastewater to surface waters of the State are subject to the assessment of civil
penalties, and may also result in the lose of deemed permitted status, requiring
immediate submission of a waste management plan.
This office also reminds you that, if not already accomplished, an approved
i
animal waste management plan must be incorporated by December 1997. This plan
must be certified by a designated technical specialist or a professional
engineer. For a listing of certified technical specialists or assistance with
your waste management plan you should contact your local Soil and Water
Conservation District.
The Raleigh Regional Office appreciates your cooperation in this matter.

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

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
operation's animal population does not exceed the number set forth by 15A NCAC 214 .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 $10,000 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
111000
Poultr with a liquid waste s stem
30,000

Subject: Permit Application
Wastewater Spray Irrigation
Chatham County
Dear Mr. Fitts,
Enclosed is a permit application for the wastewater spray irrigation system in use at the Carolina
Stockyards in Siler City. As we spoke about over the phone the other day, there are portions of this
application that the Division will not require if you have a Certified Waste Management Plan developed by
a designated technical specialist. The waste management plan must include documentation detailing the
size of the anaerobic lagoon, documentation on the existing irrigation system and the acreage covered by
that system, and a Waste Utilization Plan to show the amount of waste produced and the land and crops
that waste will be applied to. I have made notes directly on the application, if there are any questions don't
hesitate to call me. You should submit this application as soon as possible as currently the system is
operating without a permit.
During our phone conversation you had asked what type of certified operator would be required for this
system. At this time, it appears that a Type A, Animal Waste Operator will be required if the system
consists of an anaerobic lagoon and spray field, with no domestic waste contribution. The Training and
Certification Unit will be presenting this policy to the Water Pollution Control System Operators
Certification Commission at the end of this month. You will receive a call from Beth Buffington the first
week in April to confirm this decision. Please do not delay your permit application submittal while
awaiting a final call from Beth..
Again, if you have any additional questions or comments you may contact me at 919-733-5083 extension
502.
