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 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
If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sonya Avant of our
staff at [phone] ext 571.

Henry and I stopped by Mr. Thomas' farm to discuss the letter he received
from DWQ. It is asking Mr. Thomas to fill out information necessary to
prove he has begun work that is required to comply with .0200
regulations since being approved for the cost share assistance to do so.
Mr Thomas brought it to our attention that he has milked under the 100
head threshold for at least one year. Henry reminded him that he could
fill out the additional form provided to him by DWQ that will remove him
from the list of farms that are certified. He is eligible to withdraw
from following through with the work that he has been advised to do,since
his average is 90 cows. Henry told him that we would look at the papers
and his records and get back with him. At that time he will have to
decide wheter or not he is going to withdraw his operation or proceed
with the "Application for a Special Agreement."

Visited dairy farm, reviewed ag cost contract 19-95-04-02, Mr. Thomas
plans on installing gutters on barns within feedlot, reviewed expiration
date with Mr. Thomas, and that it was going to be recommended to the
board of supervisors that the 95 contracts that were not started by April
1, be cancelled. Also while at farm, discussed and looked at lounging
area and feedlot area as far as runoff. All runoff on lounging area is
being caught in settling basin, and runoff is being diverted into waste
storage pond, or filter strip. Discussed with Mr. Thomas that too follow
0200 regulation, there could be no discharge from the farm in less than a
25 year 24 hour storm event which is a 6.5 inch rain in 24 hours. Mr.
Thomas also ask if he could take water from guttering systems, and pipe
the water to the pipe to the filter strip, stopping any contaminated water
from entering the filter strip. I told him that this idea was very good.
Also looked at lounging area, only one area that might be potential
problem, All sides of the lounging area, have a buffer of grass
or woodland that is greater than 100 feet in width. Area of potential
discharge will have to be considered in greater depth to see if this may
be a de minus discharge or whether BMP's needed to address area.

Certified Animal Waste Management Plan
Chestnut View Farms
Facility Number: 19-31
Chatham County
In accordance with State Regulations (15A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1)(E)) adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission on February 1, 1993, the owner of the subject facility was required to submit a
Certification Form for the facility's animal waste management system by December 31, 1997.
This letter is to advise you that this office has no record of having received the required Certification for
the subject facility. Please provide this office with an explanation as to why this Certification was not
submitted as required. This explanation must be received within 30 days following the receipt of this letter.
Any existing facility owner which did not submit the required certification by the deadline is no longer
deemed permitted to operate their animal waste management system. Therefore, if the certification was not
submitted as required and the facility is still in operation, this facility is being operated without a valid
permit. N.C.G.S. 143-215.6(b) allows the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources to take appropriate enforcement actions for this violation for as long as the violation continues.
As per Senate Bill 1217, which was ratified on June 21, 1996, the Environmental Management
Commission (EMC) may enter into a special agreement with facilities that did not meet the December 31,
1997 deadline. These special agreements can only be issued to facility owners which signed up for assistance
with their local Soil and Water Conservation District Office by September 1, 1996 and which can
demonstrate that they made a good faith effort to meet the December 31, 1997 deadline. The special
agreement, if issued, would contain a specific schedule for the facility to follow to develop and/or implement
an approved animal waste management plan. Attached is an application for a special agreement between the
EMC and the subject facility. If you can demonstrate that this facility can meet the conditions for a special
agreement, you may send this request along with your explanation as to why the plan has not been developed
and implemented. This request would also be due within 30 days from receipt of this letter.

Subject: Notice of Violation
Facility # 19-31
Chestnut View Farm
Chatham County
Dear Mr. Thomas:
On July 28, 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, although not discharging at the
time, the current design of your cattle operation pipes lot runoff
to a failing filter strip approximately 200 feet to a stream. Lot
runoff can be allowed to flow over land adjacent to the lot
provided this area is appropriately vegetated and maintained,
cattle are excluded from the area to protect the vegetation, the
lot is scraped frequently, and no waste can be visibly traced to
waters of the state. The current channelized condition of your
filter strip prevents it from performing properly and constitutes
a discharge of wastewater. In addition, appropriate buffer zones,
steam crossings and livestock exclusions to the adjacent stream,
holding pond and lounging areas need to be established to prevent
waste -contaminated runoff from reaching waters of the State.
Illegal discharges of wastewater to surface waters of the State are
subject to civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day, per violation.
Please respond in writing to this office, within 14 days of receipt
of this letter, outlining your plans to correct this situation.

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. I encourage you to seek the assistance of the technical
specialist of your choice to ensure all necessary modifications to
your operation are implemented and certified prior to the statutory
deadline. For a listing of certified technical specialists or
assistance with your waste management plan, please 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

Re: Notice of Violation

Dear Mr. Schuster:
In response to your letter dated August 13, 1997, I
would like to outline those procedures which are in the
process of being implemented. They are as follows:
Waste Management Plan - Has been completed by Soil and
Water Conservation.
Lot Runoff - All lot runoff is now being piped directly
into the waste storage pond, instead of
piping the runoff into the filter strip.
Liquid Level Marker - Marker has been installed but
it needs to be cut off at
proper elevation before
complete.
Buffers - Cattle have been moved out of the lot below
the storage pond, this area contains the
stream and the filter strip mentioned in your
letter. Cattle will no longer have access to
this area. Additional buffers have been
planned for installation in the lounging area
also.

Roof Runoff Management - Gutters have been planned to
be installed on the barns
within the feedlot•area.
(This will keep fresh non
polluted water from entering
the waste storage pond thus
increasing the storage volume
of waste.
Sincerely,
Cam— ®�--

Subject: Operator In Charge Designation
Facility: Chestnut View Farms
Facility ID #: 19-31
Chatham County
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission on
Agricultural Waste, was enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly on June 21, 1996. This bill
requires that a certified operator be designated as the Operator in Charge by January 1, 1997, for each animal
waste management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or more horses,
1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid animal waste management system. Our
records indicate that your facility is registered with the Division of Water Quality and meets the requirements
for designating an OIC.
A training and certification program is not yet available for animal waste management systems involving
cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry. Owners and operators of these systems will be issued temporary animal waste
management certificates by the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Comnussior,
(WPCSOCC). The temporary certificates will expire December 31, 1997, and will not be renewed. To obtain
a permanent certification, you will be required to complete ten hours of training and pass an examination by
December 31, 1997. A training and certification program for operators of animal waste management systems
involving cattle, sheep, horses, and poultry is now being developed and should be available by the spring of
1997. The type of training and certification required for the operator of each system will be based on the nature
of the wastes to be treated and the treatment process(es) primarily used to treat the animal waste.
As the owner of an animal operation with an animal waste management system, you must designate an
Operator in Charge and must submit the enclosed designation form to the WPCSOCC. If you do not intend to
operate your animal waste management system yourself, you must designate an employee or engage a contract
operator to be the Operator in Charge. The person designated as the Operator in Charge, whether yourself or
another person, must complete the enclosed application form for temporary certification as an animal waste
management system operator. Both the designation form and the application form must be completed and
returned by December 31, 1996.
If you have questions about the new requirements for animal waste management system operators, please call
Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt at 91gn33-0026.
Sincerely,

Subject: Compliance Inspection
Chestnut View Farms - Dairy operation
Farm No. 19-31
Chatham County
Dear Mr. Thomas:
on October 30, 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 associated with waste disposal
systems.
Mr. Cashion'a site visit determined that wastewater from this facility was
not discharging to the surface waters of the State. No manmade pipes, ditches,
or other prohibited conveyances (for the purpose of willfully discharging
wastewater) were observed.
We recommend that you consider limiting cattle access to creeks to prevent
any possible water quality problems. You may wish to contact the Chatham County
Soil and Water Conservation District for possible cost share monies available for
this activity.
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.
This office also reminds you that, if not already accomplished, an approved
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.
If you have any questions regarding your inspection please call Mr. Cashion at
919-571-4700.
Sincerely,
Juy Garrett
Regional Water Quality Supervisor
