Hollowell Hollowell Swine Farm Route 1, Box 37 Woodland, North Carolina 27897 Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Hollowell Swine Farm Facility # 66-68 Northampton County Dear Mr. Hollowell: On October 23, 1996, 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 compliance with the State's animal waste nondischarge rules. The inspection determined that the swine operation was not discharging wastewater into waters of the State. This facility had recently been depopulated and both waste lagoons had more than the required amount of freeboard. As a result of the inspection the facility was found to be in compliance with the State's animal nondischarge regulations. Effective wastewater treatment and facility stewardship are an important responsibility of all animal waste producers. The Division of Water Quality has the responsibility 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 31, 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 office. 3800 Barrett Drive, Suite 101, FAX 919-571-4718 Raleigh, North Carolina 27609 I, 4 C An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Voice 919-571-4700 1 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Hollowell Swine Farm Page 2 The General Assembly recently passed Senate Bill 1217 which will require all animal waste'management systems to designate an It Operator in Charge".

Subject: Removal of Registration Facility Number 66-68 Northampton County Dear E.T. Hollowell: 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 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 (919) 733-5083 ext 502, Sincerely, A.
