Please find enclosed operator in charge designation form. Mr.
Weathersby, through inadvertence, did not send the form in for he
is the owner/operator. He felt that under best/worst case
scenarios he would be contacted if there was a problem. Mr.
Weathersby thought the form was.only necessary if owner/operator
were different individuals.
He has his waste management plan in effect, his certification
and he has renewed his license as required.
Please find enclosed copies of two on site inspections.
Mr. Weathersby did not intentionally withhold the information
request and any relief you may grant will be greatly appreciated.

SUBJECT: Operation Review Summary and Corrective Action Recommendation
Weathersby and Son Farm Facility No. 33-25
Edgecombe County
Dear Mr. Weathersby,
On May 28, an Operation Review was conducted of Weathersby and Son Farm, facility no.
33-25. This Review, undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-215.10D, is one of two visits scheduled
for all registered livestock operations during the 1997 calendar year. The Division of Water Quality
will conduct a second site inspection.
During the Review, it was determined that waste was not being discharged to the waters of the
State, and the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and disposal systems were properly
maintained and operated under the responsible charge of a certified operator. A copy of the
completed review form is enclosed for your information. The following observance was discovered
and noted for corrective action or response:
The berm of the lagoon was overgrown with vegetation on one side and was of insufficient top
width in areas. Please continue to fix the berm to the specifications called for in your certification
plan. The completion of this will solve the noted problems with the berm.
The Division of Soil and Water Conservation appreciates your cooperation with this Operation
Review. Please do not hesitate to call me at 919/571-4700 ext. 208 if you have any questions,
concerns or need additional information.
Sincerely,
Margaret O'Keefe

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 33,25
Edgecombe.County
Dear Brian Weathersby: .
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571.

Dear Mr. Schuster,
I am writing in response to the certified letter received on June 10, 1999_
I was requested to respond in writing within fourteen days to a letter dated
June 3, 1999. I personally did not receive the Setter until June 11, 1999.
Deficiencies that were noted included an overflow without evidence of
spill getting into surface waters, no recent soil tests or waste analysis and a
need for a lagoon marker. The overflow has been cleared and most of the
spill has been removed. Soil samples and waste analysis has been carried to
Raleigh and the results are enclosed. l have also had A. B_ Whitley, III of
the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service to visit my facility on
:tune 3, 1999 and review and approve the lagoon marker. He has approved
the marker and informed that he would notify you of such in writing himself.
To my knowledge, I have completed all of the tasks requested to rectify
each deficiency. If further information is required, please contact the by
letter or phone [phone].
Sincerely,
Brian M. Weathersby

Edgecombe County
Dear Mr. Weathersby:
On May 10, 1999, Mr. Buster Towell of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted
a compliance inspection at the subject swine operation. The inspection revealed the
following deficiencies:
A visual inspection determined that the facility had a recent overflow from a
clogged solids box that spilled an unknown quantity of wastewater on the ground.
There was no evidence of wastewater from this spill getting into surface waters.
Your Emergency Action Plan which is part of your Certified Animal Waste
Management Plan, requires you to inform the Division in the case of spills or
overflows that might have the potential of reaching surface waters of the State.
There were no recent soil tests or waste analysis on hand during the inspection.
The lagoon marker needs to be reset to correspond to the low point in the lagoon
dike wall. This will aid you in reading the required weekly freeboard once your

Dear Mr. Schuster,
.1 am writing in response to the certified letter received on June 10, 1999.
I was requested to respond in writing within fourteen days to a letter dated
June 3, 1999. I personally did not receive the letter until June 11, 1999.
Deficiencies that were noted included an overflow without evidence of
spill getting into surface waters, no recent soil tests or waste analysis and a
need for a lagoon marker. The overflow has been cleared and most of the
spill has been removed. Soil samples and waste analysis has been carried to
Raleigh and the results are enclosed. I have also had A. B. Whitley, III of
the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service to visit my facility on
June 3, 1999 and review and approve the lagoon marker. He has approved
the marker and informed that he would notify you of such in writing himself.
To my knowledge, I have completed all of the tasks requested to rectify
each deficiency. If further information is required, please contact me by
letter or phone [phone].

Brian Weathersby failed to designate an appropriately certified wastewater treatment
operator in responsible charge of the subject animal waste management system, in
accordance with 15A NCAC 8F .0201(a).
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Brian Weathersby violated
or failed to act in accordance with the requirements of N.C.G.S. 90 A-47.2 and 15A NCAC 8F
.0201. A civil penalty of not more than $1,000 per day may be assessed against a person who is
required but fails to designate an appropriately certified wastewater treatment operator as
required by N.C.G.S. 90 A-47.5 and 15A NCAC 8F .0500.
Based upon the above facts and conclusions of law, I hereby assess Brian Weathersby a
$500.00 civil penalty for this violation of N.C.G.S. 90 A-47.2 and 15A NCAC 817.0201 pursuant
to the authority delegated to me by N.C.G.S. 90 A-47.2 and 15A NCAC 8F .0201.
Please find attached another Operator in Charge designation form. Please complete this
form and return it to:
WPCSOCC
Division of Water Quality
P.O. Box 29535
Raleigh, NC 27626-0535
If the aforementioned operator designation form is not at the above address within 30 days
of your receipt of this notice, you will be subject to further civil penalties of up to $1,000 for each
day that the operator in charge designation is not submitted. You may contact DWQ's Training
and Certification Group at [phone] for information about designating a certified -operator.
Within thirty days receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver farm). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment
to the attention of:
Mr. Steve W. Tedder
Water Quality Section Chief
Division of Water Quality
P.O. Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
or
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed
justification for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the
reasonableness of the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for
contesting the accuracy of any of the statements contained in the assessment letter.
Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such
a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative

Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty days, as evidenced by a date
stamp (not a postmark) indicating when we received your response, will result in this matter being
referred to the Attorney General's Office with a request to initiate a civil action to collect the
penalty. Please be advised that additional assessments may be levied for future violations which
occur after the review period of this assessment.

SUBJECT: Operation Review Summary and Corrective Action Recommendation
Weathersby and Son Farm Facility No. 33-25
Edgecombe County
Dear Mr. Weathersby,
On May 28, an Operation Review was conducted of Weathersby and Son Farm, facility no.
33-25. This Review, undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-215.10D, is one of two visits scheduled
for all registered livestock operations during the 1997 calendar year. The Division of Water Quality
will conduct a second site inspection.
During the Review, it was determined that waste was not being discharged to the waters of the
State, and the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and disposal systems were properly
maintained and operated under the responsible charge of a certified operator. A copy of the
completed review form is enclosed for your information. The following observance was discovered
and noted for corrective action or response:
The berm of the lagoon was overgrown with vegetation on one side and was of insufficient top
width in areas. Please continue to fix the berm to the specifications called for in your certification
plan. The completion of this will solve the noted problems with the berm.
The Division of Soil and Water Conservation appreciates your cooperation with this Operation
Review. Please do not hesitate to call me at 919/571-4700 ext. 208 if you have any questions,
concerns or need additional information.
Sincerely,
Margaret O'Keefe

Dear Mr. Weathersby:
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.
