Moss Inc Rt 2 Box 112 Enfield NC 27823 4 es ,F , IL �EHNF1 Subject: Removal of Registration Facility Number 42-45 Halifax County Dear Mr./Mrs. Moss: 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 211.0217, and therefore does not require registration or 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 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.

Moss Inc Rt 2 Box 112 Enfield NC 27823 Subject: Operator In Charge Designation Facility: D.S. Moss Inc Facility ID #: 42-45 Halifax County Dear Mr. Moss: 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 Bang Huneycutt at 91gn33-0026. Sincerely, FOR Steve W.

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.
