Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number l 1-10
Buncombe County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRRI, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR], SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review_ The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the

Subject: Water Quality Monitoring
Newfound Creek Watershed
Dear Chairman Wells:
In Secretary McDevitt's response to your June 10, 1998 letter on this subject dated
June 17, 1998, the Secretary asked that I address your request for ongoing
sampling support in the Newfound watershed.
As your letter noted, this special study sampling began in 1996 in order to develop
a baseline of water quality conditions in this watershed so that improvements to
water quality from planned efforts to implement rather intensive installation of
agricultural BMPs in the drainage could be described in some detail. Efforts to
[move forward with intensive BMP installation in the area have not progressed as
rapidly as expected, but baseline sampling of the watershed has continued. We are
very pleased to see the commitment of your agency to accomplish BMP installation.
The Asheville Regional Office has continued to gather data on the Newfound
watershed. The opportunity to document direct water quality improvements from
BMP installation within an important and impacted watershed of the French Broad
River Basin continues to be a powerful motivator for continuation of this effort. I
would point out, however, that monitoring resources are limited and are generally
allocated statewide through the Basinwide Water Quality Management Process. In
addition to the chemical sampling performed by the Asheville Office, we are also
periodically using biological monitoring resources from the Environmental Sciences
Branch in Raleigh to track changes in the ecological quality of the waters in this
drainage area- Due to overall resource commitments, the special study effort in the
Newfound watershed will be continued on a year to year basis contingent upon our
ability to continue to support this effort. We do plan to continue this study through
FY 1998-99 (July 1 to June 30) and will evaluate the potential for further sampling
based on the availability o resources and the progress made toward getting BMPs
installed.
We Iook forward to continuing the excellent working relationship that has been
established between this Division and your office. Thank you for the favorable
comments offered to our program and your specific recognition of Ms. Linda
Wiao,s of the Asheville Office and her efforts to establish and support the
Newfound study activity.

The Buncombe County Soil and Water Conservation District has received
funding from the North Carolina Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF) to
coordinate and implement a quality water improvement project in Newfound Creek
Watershed. However, the grant funding from CWMTF only provides for the staff
position to oversee the project. The French Broad River Basinwide Wafer Quality
Management Plan designates Newfound Creek as impaired by sedimentation and
nutrients_ The plan also states that Newfound Creek should receive high priority as
sediment control programs are implemented.
Linda Wiggs, ambient monitor with the Division of Water Quality, Asheville
Regional Office has been monitoring the water quality in Newfound Creek since 1.996.
We understand that this is a special study that Ms. Wiggs has taken on above and
beyond her regular duties and we commend her for her efforts. We would like to
recognize Linda Wiggs for her commitment to ARO ambient monitoring and for her
initiative to take on special projects for the interest of water quality.
In addition, we would like to get a formal commitment from NCD
continue to monitor
goal-cts that would

would like to utilize to track water quality improvements in Newfound Creek Watershed.
