Dear Eugene Blackwell:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your request that your facility no Ionger 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 maybe
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 tem 30,000
If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sue Homewood of our staff

SUBJECT: Operation Review Summary
Hillcrest Dairy Facility No. 39-8
Granville County
Dear Mr. Blackwell,
On June 3, an Operation Review was conducted of Hillcrest Dairy, facility no. 39-8. This Review, undertaken in
accordance with G.S, 143-215.10D, was 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 this Review, since waste was not being
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. A copy of the completed review form is
enclosed for your information.
The review determined that the farm was operating in accordance with the approved animal waste management
plan. Please remember that you are required to obtain either an amendment to your existing plan or a new waste utilization
plan before any changes are made in crop type or harvest method on land included in your plan. For additional assistance
with the plan, please contact your local Soil and Water Conservation District Office or local Cooperative Extension Service
Office.
As we discussed. I have enclosed a removal request form. Be aware that if you remove the farm flem the
registered farm list and wish to increase above threshold numbers you will fall under the guidelines for a new operation. If
you chose to stay on the registered farm list ensure that ,you have a startlstop pumping level markers in your lagoon/pond
prior to .January ,I9a8: I have verified your removal request with Sue Homewood of the Division of Water Quality. When
you send in your form it will be processed and a letter informing you of the removal will be sent. Please keep a copy of the
filled out removal request form for your records.
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 -

Subject: Operator In Charge Designation
Facility: Hillcrest Dairy
Facility ID #: 39-8
Granville County
Dear Mr. Blackwell:
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,
