Subject: Removal of Registration
Facility Number 42-34
Halifax County
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 15 A 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 tem 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: Winslow Bros. Farm
Facility ID #: 42-34
Halifax County
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 91gn33-0026.
Sincerely,
FOR Steve W. Tedder

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Winslow Brothers Cattle Operation
SR 1003 Halifax County
Dear Mr. Winslow:
On September 13, 1995, Mr. Buster Towell 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 liquid waste
collection/disposal systems.
Mr. Towell's site visit determined that wastewater from your
facility was not discharging to the surface waters of the state,
nor were any manmade conveyances (for the purpose of willfully
discharging wastewater) observed. 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 the 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 the opportunity to remind
you that you are required to have an approved animal waste
management plan in place by December 1997. This plan must be
Certified by either 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
office.
