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 Poultr 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. _GcR cc: Raleigh Water Quality Regional Office Wake Soil and Water Conservation District Facility File Sincerely, A.

Enclosed with that letter was an Operator in Charge Designation Form specifically for your facility, Instructions for Completing Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator, and an Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator. Our records indicate that these completed Forms have not yet been returned to our office. As was explained in the previous letter, a training and certification program is not yet available for animal waste management systems involving cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry (with a liquid waste system). Therefore owners of these systems were allowed to request that they be issued temporary certifications until December 31, 1997. All that was required to receive this temporary certification was the completion of the Application Form. For you convenience, we are sending you additional copies of the Operator in Charge Designation Form specifically for your facility, Instructions for Completing Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator, and an Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator. Please return this completed Form to this office as soon as possible but in no case later than April 25, 1997. This office maintains a list of certified operators in your area if you need assistance in locating a certified operator. Please note that failure to designate an Operator in Charge of your animal waste management system, is a violation of N.C.G.S. 90A-47.2 and you will be assessed a civil penalty unless an appropriately certified operator is designated. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as absolving you of the responsibility and liability for any past or future violations for your failure to designate an appropriate Operator in Charge by January 1, 1997.
