Subject: Removal of Registration
Facility Number 19-41

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 and implement a certified animal waste management plan and notify the Division
of Water Quality prior to stocking animals to that level. Threshold numbers of animals that require certified animal
waste management pians are as follows:
Swine 250
Confined Cattle 100
Horses 75
Sheep 11000
Poultry with a li uid waste system 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.

Subject: Operator In Charge Designation
Facility: Homey Livestock Company Inc
Facility ID #: 19-41
Chatham County
Dear Mr. Homey:
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 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,
FOR Steve W. Tedder

Subject: Compliance Inspection
W.H. Horney Cattle operation
Farm No. 19-41
Chatham County
Dear Mr. Horney:
On November 16, 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's 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. This is a pasture operation that appeared well
operated and maintained.
As stated to you during the inspection, we advise you to 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. ThiTs paF
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.
