Subject: Removal of Registration

Dear W.H. Horney.
This is to acknowledge receipt of your request that your facility no longer be registered as an active 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 $ 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 obtain a certified animal waste management plan prior to stocking animals to that level.
Threshold numbers of animals that require certified animal waste management plans are as follows: Lr �
_ Q
Swine 250 C—)
Confined Cattle 100 -'
Horses 75 -4
Sheep 1,000 un
Poultry with a liquid waste system 30.000
If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sue Homewood of our�i

Dear Mr. Homey:
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 919/733-0026.

Re: Letter dated September 22, 1995 to Horney Livestock
Co., Inc. in regard to notice of recommendation
concerning surface water discharge at site of
livestock operation
Dear Mr. Schuster:
This is to advise that I represent, and have represented, the
above mentioned company for a considerable number of years.
Based upon the recommendation of Mr. Cashion at the time he
was on the property, the company had already permanently sealed
the pipe referred to in your letter prior to having received
your letter.
For my information and assistance, I will very much appreciate
it if you will forward, or cause to be forwarded tome, copies
of the regulations that have been promulgated in regard to
the environmental matters to which the letter refers. Of course,
I have the General Statutes but assume that there is a pamphlet
or book of regulations.

Subject: Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement
Notice of Violation
Illegal Discharge to Surface Waters of the State
Harney Livestock Co., Inc.
Facility No. 19-15
3 Miles North of Siler City on SR 1006
Chatham County
Dear Mr. Horney:
During an inspection of the subject facility on August 31,
1995, a pipe was observed in the dam of the lagoon. This pipe and
receiving stream had evidence that past discharges had occurred.
No discharge was occurring during the inspection. North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1 requires that a permit must be secured
from this Division prior to such discharges. The presence of this
pipe is a violation of N.C. General Statute 143-215(e). Both of
these violations are subject to enforcement action by the Division.
You are also being notified that this office is considering
making a recommendation for an enforcement action to the Director
of the Division for the presence of the pipe for the purpose of
discharging wastewater to surface waters of the State. If you have
justification that this violation was caused by events of
circumstances beyond your control, you must reply in writing within
ten (10) days after the receipt of this Notice. Your justification
will be reviewed and forwarded to the Director for his
consideration. In the absence of such justification, the Director
shall proceed with the recommendation for enforcement.

Animal operations in the State have been deemed permitted by
the Division in accordance with Title 15A of the North Carolina
Administrative Code , 2H, Rule .0217. An individual nondischarge
permit is not required if certain criteria are met. A major
requirement to be deemed permitted is that there must not be a
discharge of any wastewater from the operation to the waters of the
State. Due to the presence of this pipe observed on August 31,
1995, this office will also recommend that the deemed permitted
status of this facility be revoked. The immediate submission of a
waste management plan may also be required.
You are encouraged to seal the pipe permanently to prevent
further illegal discharges.
If you have questions concerning this matter please contact
Ted Cashion at 919-571-4700.

Subject: Notice of Violation # 95-76Notice of
Intent Revoke Deemed Permit
Farm Number 19-015
Latham County FNNR�P
Dear Mr. Homey
You are hereby notified that, having been deemed permitted to have a nondischarge permit for the
subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217, you have been found to
be in violation of your 211.0217 Permit.
On August 31, 1995, the subject facility was inspected by Division of Environmental Management
staff from the Raleigh Regional Office. This inspection revealed a pipe in the dam of the lagoon.
Although there was no discharge from this pipe at the time of the inspection, evidence of prior
discharges to the adjacent creek were distinct.
In accordance with the requirements of NCAC 2H.0213, you are hereby given notice that sixty
(60) days following your receipt of this letter, the Division of Environmental Management intends
to revoke your permit unless the following conditions are completed:
1. Immediately eliminate the discharge of wastewater or correct the violation.
2. Make any modifications needed to ensure there will be no future discharges.
3. Submit an approved animal waste management plan and have the attached certification form
completed. One copy of the plan must be sent to your local Soil and Water Conservation
District. The certification form and two (2) copies of your plan must be returned to the address
below:

P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 Telephone [phone] FAX [phone]
An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50 % recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper

Failure to comply with the above conditions will result in permit revocation and therefore, the
existing animal waste management system serving your animal operation will be in operation
without a permit as required by North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1.
Your approved animal waste management plan must explain how you will collect, store, treat and
land apply your animal waste in an environmentally acceptable manner. To assist you in the
development of this plan and to provide the required certification that the plan is acceptable, you
should contact your local agricultural agencies such as the Soil and Water Conservation District,
the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service, the North Carolina Cooperative Extension
Service or a technical specialist designated pursuant to the rules adopted by the Soil and Water
Conservation Commission.
If we have not received the requested animal waste management plan and certification within 60
days of receipt of this letter or if there are additional discharges to the surface water a civil penalty
of up to $10,000 may be assessed and you may be required to apply for an individual
nondischarge permit from the Division. This permit, if issued, will contain monitoring and
reporting requirements determined to be necessary by the Division.
Although we will make every effort to work with you in correcting the problems found at your
facility, please be advised that nothing in this Ietter should be taken as preventing the Division from
taking appropriate enforcement actions for either these violations or other past or future violations.
If you have any questions concerning this matter please do not hesitate to contact either Judy
Garrett, Water Quality Regional Supervisor for our Raleigh Regional Office at [phone] or
Mr. Shannon Langley at [phone], ext. 581.
