Pugh 4335 Silk Hope Road Pittsboro NC 27312 Subject: Operator In Charge Designation Dear Mr. Pugh: Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission on Agricultural Waste, was ratified by the North Carolina General Assembly on June 21, 1996. This bill required that a properly certified operator be designated as the Operator in Charge 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. The deadline for designating an Operator in Charge for animal waste management systems involving cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry was January 1, 1997. Because a training and certification program was not yet available for these systems, you were allowed to apply for and were issued a temporary animal waste management certificate from the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC). Because you applied for and were issued a temporary certificate, you were allowed to be designated as the Operator in Charge of an animal waste management system. Your temporary certificate expires December 31, 1997, and is not renewable. Our records indicate that you have not obtained a permanent animal waste management system operator certification. If you intend to remain the Operator in Charge of the facility for which you were designated, you must obtain a permanent animal waste management system operator certification of the appropriate type before your temporary certification expires on December 31, 1997. To obtain a permanent certification, you must be 18 years of age, complete ten hours- of approved training, and pass an examination. If you do not intend to remain the Operator in Charge, a properly certified animal waste management system operator must be designated as Operator in Charge of the facility prior to the expiration of your temporary certification. This year's final training program for both Type A and Type B animal waste management systems is scheduled for December 10 and 11, 1997, at the Hunt Horse Complex in Raleigh. If you would like information about this training program, please contact your local cooperative extension agent or call Dee Ann Cooper at 919/515-6968. For those enrolled in this training and registering with Ms. Cooper prior to December 1, an exam will be offered at the Hunt Horse Complex on December 11, beginning at 1:00 pm.

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 which require certified animal waste management plans are as follows: .Swine 250 Confined Cattle 100 Horses 75 Sheep 1,000 Poultry with a liquid wastes tern 30,000 If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sue Homewood of our staff at (919) 733-5083 ext 502. _P�K cc: Wig ter_QualitysRegional Qffice Chatham Soil and Water Conservation District Facility File Sincerely, A.

Enclosed with that letter was an Operator in Charge Designation Form specifically for your facility, Instructions for Completing Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator, and an Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator. Our records indicate that these completed Forms have not yet been returned to our office. As was explained in the previous letter, a training and certification program is not yet available for animal waste management systems involving cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry (with a liquid waste system). Therefore owners of these systems were allowed to request that they be issued temporary certifications until December 31, 1997, All that was required to receive this temporary certification was the completion of the Application Form. For you convenience, we are sending you additional copies of the Operator in Charge Designation Form specifically for your facility, Instructions for Completing Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator, and an Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator. Please return this completed Form to this office as soon as possible but in no case later than April 25, 1997. This office maintains a list of certified operators in your area if you need assistance in locating a certified operator. Please note that failure to designate an Operator in Charge of your animal waste management system, is a violation of N.C.G.S. 90A-47.2 and you will be assessed a civil penalty unless an appropriately certified operator is designated. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as absolving you of the responsibility and liability for any past or future violations for your failure to designate an appropriate Operator in Charge by January 1, 1997, If you have questions concerning this matter, please contact our Technical Assistance and Certification Group at (919)733-0026.

Our records indicate that your facility is registered with the Division of Water Quality and meets the requirements for designating an 01C. 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 Commission (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 919/733-0026. Sincerely, ,qet--" '�� (f FOR Steve W.

The cooperation of Wayne and Doug Pugh was appreciated. The following violations were determined to exist at the subject facility: 1. There is no holding pond to collect, treat, or store the animal waste. Currently, the solids are stockpiled and land applied approximately 3 times per week, depending upon weather. The waste is stockpiled in an area in close proximity to a creek flowing through the pasture. Runoff from the stockpile was reaching the creek during the inspection. 2. A stock trail the cattle use to reach pasture area is inundated with manure. The waste manure is running off into the adjacent creek. 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 critieria 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. 3800 Barrett Drive, Salta 101, Raleigh, North Carolina 27609 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Telephone 919-571-4700 FAX 919-571-4718 50% recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper Mrs. Pugh January 17, 1996 Page 2 The discharge to surface waters noted above is in violation of this rule, and is subject to enforcement action. The discharge to surface waters without an NPDES permit is a violation of General Statute 143-215.1, also subject to enforcement action. This office will recommend to the Director of the Division that the deemed permitted status of this facility be revoked. The Director will also consider whether a civil penalty is warranted for the unpermitted discharge to surface waters. You are required to respond in writing to this office within 10 days of receipt of this letter, detailing your actions to eliminate the violations noted. Please include comments on your intention to secure an approved waste management plan, and when the plan is expected to be implemented. This office has been informed that the Chatham County Natural Resources Conservation Service has visited your operation, and has forwarded survey work to their engineering section for design of a holding pond. Your approved animal waste management plan must explain how you will collect, treat, store, and land apply your animal waste to the land in an environmentally acceptable manner. We recommend that you contact your local agricultural agencies such as the Soil and Water Conservation District, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, or the N.C.
