Dear Mr. Dunn:
You were notified by Ietter dated December 5, 1996, that you were required to designate a certified animal waste
management system operator as Operator in Charge for the subject facility by January 1, 1997. 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
[phone].
Sincerely,
0.'M-24.

Edgecombe County
Dear M. Dunn,
On May 7, Operation Reviews were conducted of Davistown Farm facility no. 33-26, Causey &
Best & Wood facility no. 33-54 and Rest -A -Bit facility no, 33-55. These Reviews, undertaken in
accordance with G. S. I43-215.1 OD, were 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.
It was determined that no corrective actions are necessary as the result of these Reviews, since
waste was = beingg discharged to the waters of the State, and the animal waste collection, treatment,
storage and disposal systems were maintained and operated under the responsible charge of a certified
operator. Copies of the completed review forms are enclosed for your information.
As you requested, the forms to remove our operations from the registered farm list were turned
into Sue Homewood of the Division of Water Quality. Since the only animals present were pastured
cattle, below threshold numbers and no liquid waste system the farms should be removed from the list
and a letter sent to you from the Division of Water Quality,
The Division of Soil and Water Conservation appreciates your cooperation with these Operation
Reviews. It was a pleasure to meet you and see your farms. Please do not hesitate to call me at
919/5714700 ext. 208 if you have any questions, concerns or need additional information.

Subject: Removal of Registration
Facility Number 33-55
Edgecombe County
Dear F.M. Dunn:
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 $: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 stem 30,000
If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sue Homewood of our staff at
[phone] ext 502.

Dear Mr. Dunn:
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 Batty Huneycutt at 919n33-0026.
Sincerely,
FO&ve W. Tedder

Dear Mr. Dunn:
On September 27, 1995, Mr. Eric Fleek 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 potential problems associated with animal waste
disposal systems.
Mr. Fleek's site visit determined that wastewater from your
facility was not discharging to the surface waters of the state. In
addition, no manmade pipes, ditches, or other prohibited
conveyances (for the purpose of willfully discharging wastewater)
were observed. Furthermore, it was noted that blue -line streams
located on your pasture were fenced off to prohibit cattle access.
As a result, your facility was found to be in compliance during
this visit.
Effective wastewater treatment and facility stewardship are a -
responsibility of all animal facilities. The Division of
Environmental Management is required to enforce water quality
regulations in order to protect the natural resources of the State.
Accordingly, illegal discharges of wastewater to surface waters of
the State are subject to the assessment of civil penalties and may
also result in the loss of deemed permitted status, requiring
immediate submission of a waste management plan.
This office would also like to take this opportunity to remind
you that you are required to have an approved animal waste
management plan 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.
