Subject: Removal of Registration
Facility Number 33-36
Edgecombe County
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 Qualityprior to stocking animals to that level. Threshold numbers of animals that require certified animal
waste management plans are as follows:
Swine 250
Confined Cattle 100
Horses 75
Sheep 1,000
Poul with a liquid waste system 30,002
If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sue Homewood of our staff
at [phone] ext 502.

A. Preston Howard, Jr., P.E.

County: Edgecombe
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 (OIC) 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, I,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 available for animal waste management system operators. For
information on the training programs please contact your local Cooperative Extension Agent. Operator
certifications are issued by the Water Pollution Control Systems Operators Certification Commission
(WPCSOCC). For information on the certification process, please contact the Technical Assistance and
Certification Unit at [phone]. The type of training and certification required for the operator of each
system is based on the nature of the wastes to be treated and the treatment process(es) primarily used to treat
the animal waste. There are two types of animal waste management systems, type A and type B. Type A
animal waste management systems are generally used to treat waste generated by monogastric animals
which produce a low -fiber waste. Type B animal waste management systems are generally used to treat
waste generated by ruminants and other animals which produce a high -fiber waste. The type of training and
certification an operator receives should correspond with the type of system(s) they intend to operate. For
more information on the classification of your system please contact the Technical Assistance and
Certification Unit.
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 possess a currently valid certificate of the appropriate type.

At your request, the Raleigh Regional Office will recommend that
your animal operation be removed from the registration data base.
Please note that if some time in the future you wish to reopen this

Dear Mr. Edwards:
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

Dear Mr. Edwards:
On August 23, 1995, Mr. Eric Fleek 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.
The following items require action to prevent possible
environmental impacts:
1. It appears that the facility is no longer operating. If
this is the case, we recommend that the lagoon be
satisfactorily closed out to prevent potential environmental
impacts, and to protect you from liabilities associated with
the lagoon. We recommend that the lagoon be pumped out and
sprayed on areas to take up the nutrients. Spraying may
continue as long as dry conditions permit (no spraying when
raining or when fields are saturated). The wastewater must
not be allowed to reach surface waters. After all liquid and
sludge has been pumped out the lagoon may be left intact to
serve as a pond, or the dam may be broken to prevent
accumulation of stormwater. You are reminded that when
spraying wastes onto the land no runoff of wastes may occur
at any time, and that you are liable for any environmental
damage caused by wastewater from the lagoon.
Please notify this office for assistance in planning a proper
close out of the lagoon if necessary. You may also contact the
local NRCS office for guidance.
