Dear Benford Barrett: , UEr t4R
Removal of Registration
Facility Number 66-53
Northampton 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 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 S 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 li uid waste system
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.

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
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 919/733-0026.

Dear Mr. Barrett:
On September 12, 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 if you decide to repopulate this facility you will be
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 technical specialist or assistance with your waste
management plan you should contact your local Soil and Water
Conservation District.

Dear Mr. Barrett:
On September 12, 1995, Mr. Buster Towell from the Raleigh
Regional Office conducted a compliance inspection of the subject
animal facility. This inspection is a part of the Division's
effort to determine potential problems associated with animal waste
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 pipes, ditches, or other prohibited
conveyances (for the purpose of willfully discharging wastewater)
observed.
However, as a result of the inspection, the following
deficiencies were observed:
This facility had been abandoned for several years and while
no new waste is going into the lagoon only 6 inches of freeboard
was observed during the site visit. Your lagoon should maintain
approximately 19 inches of freeboard at all times.
There was evidence of past discharges from this operation and
dead trees were observed behind the lagoon in the adjacent low land
area.
In addition to continued facility waste management, these
deficiencies must be immediately addressed to help prevent the
possibility of an illegal discharge. The Raleigh Regional Office
will require a written response to the aforementioned issues
within 30 days of receipt of this letter. You should specifically
address how you plan to correct this problem and submit a schedule
(with dates) stating when these management deficiencies will be
corrected.
