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.

This inspection is a part of the Division's efforts to determine potential problems associated with liquid waste disposal systems. Mr. Mitchell's site visit determined that wastewater from your facility was not discharging to the surface waters of the state. There were no manmade pipes, ditches, or other prohibited conveyances (for the purpose of willfully discharging wastewater) observed. However, as a result of the inspection, the following management deficiencies were observed: -11 was noted that a significant number of large trees are growing along the toe of the lagoon slope. Trees can compromise lagoons and cause them to seep wastewater. Remove all trees equal to or less -than six inches in diameter and restabilize the lagoon berm. -This facility does not appear on the registration listing and needs to be registered prior to the initiation of operation. In addition to continued waste facility management, these deficiencies must be immediately addressed to help prevent the possibility of an itlegat discharge. Please respond to the Raleigh Regional Office with a written response to the aforementioned issues within 30 days of receipt of this letter. You should specifically address how you plan to correct these problems and submit a schedule (with dates) stating when these management deficiencies will be corrected. 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 surface waters of the State are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day, and may also result in the loss of deemed permitted status, requiring immediate submission of a waste management plan. Since this facility is not in operation, this office would also like to take this opportunity to remind you that you are required to have an approved animal waste management pan by December 1997 if you intend to restock. 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. If your intentions are to permanently close this facility, please contact your local Soil and Water Conservation District for assistance. 3800 Barrett Drive, sulte 101, Raleigh, North Carolina 27609 Telephone 919-571-4700 FAX 919-57N718 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper The Raleigh Regional Office appreciates your cooperation in this matter.
