RE: Small Acres Dairy Assistance Request
sma Il_acres_wsp&pit-as-bui It. pdf
Small Acres' manure solids pit was designed such that any waste level within structural freeboard encroaches on the
push -off ramp. it is the lowest point on the earthen embankment. To the best of my knowledge, solid waste storage
structures did not require a graduated waste level marker, but 6 -inches below the push -off ramp would be the limit of
normal storage assuming 25 -year, 24-hour storm is approximately 6 -inches.
An as -built survey of the pit was conducted in May 1998. The survey uses assumed elevations with the dam's lowest
elevation at 88.0'. The majority of the pit's embankment was constructed to elevation 89.0' and higher. I fear the
temporary bench mark installed twenty years ago cannot be recovered. A new survey establishing a benchmark and
embankment elevations should be conducted for the purposes of installing marker(s) in accordance with regulatory
requirements.
Attached is a scanned image of the as -built survey.

Jeff,
Do you have anything verifying what the freeboard is at Small Acres solids pond? We will be glad to assist Mike with
installing a marker once we verify the correct freeboard elevation.
I will be out of the office the rest of the week, so please respond to Rachel.

Thanks! -Jonathan

Jonathan,
We visited Small Acres Dairy yesterday to review Mr. Corns records to resolve an outstanding NOV. One item that
needed to be addressed was to have a freeboard marker in his solids pond. He has placed a stake in the pond and he
recently cleaned it out. Would Soil and Water be able to assist him with setting the corrected freeboard mark. I'm not
sure of the design capacity of the pond, I know our data indicates that the designed freeboard is 19.5 inches. Is this
something you could help him with?
Violation _5_:
No freeboard marker in solids pond #1 . Failure to install a freeboard marker in accordance with condition IV.2.a. of the
NPDES General Permit No. NCA300000.
Required Corrective Action for Violation -5_:
Let me know if you want to discuss by phone.
Thanks,

Re: Mike Corn / Small Acres Dairy /Notice of Violation Intent to Enforce dated
9123126
Dear Ms. Price and Mr. Davidson:
This firm represents Mike Corn and Small Acres Dairy, l am responding, on behalf of
Mr. Corn and Small Acres to the NOV letter dated September 23`d, 2016. Thank you for
allowing us additional time to respond. Mr. Corn and 1 met with Sam Bingham, Engineer, a
former employee of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and now a consultant an
Agricultural issues, I believe Mr. Bingham has spoken with Ms. Price. Mr. Bingham has been to
the farm twice, most recently on Wednesday, October 19, 2016. In consultation with Mr.
Bingham, and in response to the Recommended Corrective Action, Small Acres Dairy plans to
do the following:
• Fence cattle completely out of the draw upstream of the close up cow barn;
• Fence cattle completely out of the draw upstream of milk herd free stall barn. The
watering station will be moved to the ridge; V
• Put in a system to trap solids and floating solids on the lot so that they do not get into the
sump pump and reach the stream; and .kms Pat ;� a w �,�'1 St"41 3 61'

These items should .be complete within (60) days. Mr. Corn is consulting with Mr.
Bingham on an overall review of storm water issues at the site. Additional measures may be
implemented as a result of the review. The review is expected to take at least 120 days. Mi4- xIS4," .
Mike Corn, Sam Bingham and I inspected the discharge pipe. There was no active
discharge to the, .stream and no solids. There did appear to be a small amount of water in the
pipe. It is believed that there are some underground springs which feed this pipe. There was
almost no water in the creek itself. Visible material in the creek did not appear to include animal
waste solids or silage, although the water directly below the pipe was clearly dark.
Mr. Corn and Mr. Bingham are available to meet with you to discuss this matter. Please
let me know if you have questions.

Subject: Requirement for Phosphorous Loss
Assessment
Small Acres Dairy
Permit No. NCA345007
Henderson County
This letter is being sent to remind you that your current Animal Waste Management System
NPDES General Permit issued by the Division of Water Resources (Division) requires periodic
evaluation of potential phosphorous toss. Condition IV.8. in the above referenced permit states:
"The Permittee shall perform a phosphorus -loss evaluation prior to application for
renewal of this Permit in accordance with state and federal requirements. This evaluation
must be documented on forms supplied by or approved by the Division and must be
submitted to the Division. Upon completion of the phosphorous -loss evaluation, the
CAWMP shall be updated to include the current risk assessment rating, and submitted to
the Division upon application for renewal of this Permit."
In North Carolina, the Phosphorus Loss Assessment Tool (PLA -1') is utilized to assess phosphorus
loss risk on a Field specific basis. PLAT was developed by NC State University and the Natural
Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) and addresses four potential loss pathways: leaching,
erosion, runoff, and direct movement of waste over the surface. Each field must be individually
evaluated and rated as either low, medium, high, or very high according to its phosphorus loss
potential. In no case shall land application rates for any field exceed the established crop removal
rate for phosphorus for Fields with a "high" phosphorus -loss assessment rating. There shall be no
waste application on fields with a "very high" phosphorus -loss assessment rating.
The ratings for each application field for your facility must be reported to the Division using the
attached certification form along with the updated Certified Animal Waste Management Plan as a
part of your permit renewal application. The PLAT field specific forms must be included with
the certification form and copies shall be maintained with other farm records as required by your

Subject: Compliance Inspection
Animal Waste Handling System
Small Acres Dairy —
Facility 4 45-7
Haywood County
On December 17, 2014, l conducted a routine Compliance Inspection of the animal waste
handling system for the Small Acres Dairy. The records were in good order with the
exception of not having any lease agreements. Signed lease agreements should be acquired
and submitted to this office.
The pump system installed in the drop box at the upper end of the facility near the silage pit
cannot handle large volumes of water when rain storms occur. Also, debris can get caught in
the pump mechanism causing it to fail.
Currently you are milking 350 cows, but about 410 are in the CARO contributing to a high
volume of waste.
This office sent you a letter dated December 12, 2014 discussing the high levels of bacteria,
ammonia, nitrates, and phosphorous in samples taken below your dairy. A requirement of
that letter is that you hire an environmental consultant to determine where the contaminants
are originating and a plan of action to rectify the problem.
Thank you for your assistance during the inspection. if you have any questions regarding
this inspection or need assistance of any kind, please do not hesitate to contact me at (828)
296-4500. Please review the Inspection Report for additional comments/observations.

Dear Mr. Corn:
As part of your 2012 Plea Agreement, you are required to take water samples quarterly above and
below the
tributary that drains the area of your dairy operation.
A review
of those samples, taken quarterly since
March of
2013, show extremely elevated levels of ammonia
-nitrogen (NH3-N), orthophosphate
(PO4), and fecal coliform
in the stream just below your farm.

The results appear to show an ongoing impact to surface waters of the State. Starting this month, the
Division of Water Resources, Asheville Regional Office, will begin a sampling procedure where five
samples are taken in the stream at various locations above and below your farm in order to determine if
water quality standards for fecal coliform and other parameters are being violated.
Based on the above results taken by you and analyzed by the Environmental Quality Institute (EQI), we
recommend that you contact a private environmental consulting firm to conduct a detailed assessment of
your farm to determine where these stream impacts are originating. Upon determining the sources of these
impacts, a plan should be developed and implemented to abate further degradation of waters of the State.
If samples taken by the Division of Water Resources show a violation of water quality standards, this office
may proceed with enforcement actions.
If you have any questions, please contact Ed Williams at [phone], ed.williams ncdenr, ov.

Henderson County dairy farmer accused of
polluting French Broad
Repeated citations lead to criminal charges
By hfark Sclndrnurr
MX3-Netus stei011er
Published: St nday, November i,g, suit at 9:o8 a.m.
A Henderson County dairy farmer is facing
criminal charges that state regulators say are
their "last resort" to halt his repeated
environmental violations.
Michael Richa rd Corn, 64, of Fletcher was

arrested Oct. 3t and charged with a felony Clean
Water Act violation after liquid animal waste
from his Small Acres Dairy Farm polluted an unnamed tributary of the French Broad
River, according to court records.
An arrest warrant states that Corn told employees at his Mills River farm to drape a
PVC pipe over the rim of a waste retention pond so it would divert the flow of liquid
waste into the stream.
Corn also was charged with failing o renew a permit associated with animal waste
management that expired on Oct. 1, 2oag, according to Landon Davidson, regional
aquifer protection section supervisor of the N.C. Division of Water Quality, a division
o(the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
The permit allowed liquid and solid wastes from the 25ohead dairy operation on
Jeffress Road to be dispersed on 4.6 acres of Corn's land.
Corn has been cit4three times since September 2004 for willfully discharging waste
into the stream, Davidsoq said.
The illegal disposal causes high counts of fecal coliform bacteria in the water, as well
as sewage fungus, Davidson said.
The Division of Water Quality has fined Corn more than $33,00o over seven years.
Because the dairy farm owner continued to break the law, the division turned over
the case to the State Bureau of investigation, which lodged the criminal charges,
Davidson said.
Environmental regulators have tried to work with Corn, he added, and they referred
the case to the SBI as a last resort.
"Only atter these approaches are exhausted and a permit holder has obtained a
lengthy history of non-compliance that includes willful violations resulting in
environmental damage will DWQ seek other options, such as referring the case to the
SBI," Davidson said.
"DWQ recognizes and appreciates the fact that locally owned businesses such as
dairy and other agricultural operations are vital to Western North Carolina and the
local area," Davidson said.
But, he added, "We are charged to protect users of the French Broad."

In a telephone interview, Corn admitted he was negligent in allowing the animal
waste to run into the stream, but said the charges against him are not entirely true.
He said an employee rigged the pipe to create the discharge while Corn and his wife
were on vacation in Canada. Also, the pipe did not run into the tributary, he said, but
onto his field more than loo feet from the stream.
"It was not an approved method" of waste disposal, Corn said, adding, "I accept
responsibility for my employees."
But Corn said the criminal charges are extreme.
"For them to make this into a felony, it is a gross misuse of authority," Corn said. "I'm
amazed."
The farm owner said there is nothing around the area to clean up.
"The water did not leave anything nasty," he said.
Corn also said he misunderstood the requirements for renewing the waste
management permit.
DWQ records show that Corn has been cited for environmental infractions eight
times since September 2004. A Notice of Violation dated Dec. 16, 2010, states, "You
are operating under an expired permit" and cites violations including the discharge of
wastewater into the tributary, water quality standards and failure to maintain waste
levels in the ponds in accordance to the certified waste animal waste management
plan.
Corn said the state's fines have prevented him from making improvements necessary
to bring his farm into compliance with the regulations.
In February, Corn met with the Division of Water Quality, the N.G. Division of Soil,
Water and the Henderson County Soil and Water Conservation District. He was
ordered make repairs to gutters, the waste pond, manure pits and other areas at the
dairy farm.
Corn failed to make the repairs directed by the agencies, according to the DWQ.
In the Notice of Violation document, it also shows a history of non-compliance over
the past six years.
As a result of continuous non-compliance by Corn, the DWQ referred the case to the
SBI and the agency will now conduct its own investigation.
'Che SBI initiated an environmental investigation in March 2010, said Jennifer
Canada, assistant public Information officer for Attorney General Roy Cooper.
After his arrest on Oct. 31, Corn was released on promise to appear in court. Corn's
next hearing is scheduled for Friday.
"I hate this whole thing ever happened," he said Friday.

Judy -
Here is the plan we came up with after the meeting out at Mr. Corn's farm. Attached is an aerial view of the farm with a
diagram of needed projects. Mr. Corn has a history of not implementing our recommendations that would bring him
into compliance. Thanks.
Ed
Long-term measures:
1. Replace concrete gutter from upper fenced area. The current gutter system is heavily cracked and has areas that
have sunken which contribute to waste entering the adjacent stream;
2. Install concrete curbing to reduce water entering the upper dropbox near the silage area;
3. Address drop inlet receiving waste near silage area;
4. Cover silage and compost material to avoid rain contact; and,
5. Remove lower concrete dropbox and re-route water to vegetated filter strip. An alternative is to completely
remove all animal activity in this area and seed with a permanent cover crop (as originally designed and used).
6. Build cover over manure pit
Short-term measures:
1. Install a sediment trap (gravel, fabric, and fencing as show on attached diagram) surrounding the lower lever
concrete drop box. Filter material and fencing should extend in a 10 ft. radius around the drop box;
2. Restrict all animal activity from lower area field which is located In your waste application area;
3. Repair cracks in concrete gutter from upper fence area and raise concrete curb on the stream side to reduce
amount of waste entering stream; and,
4. Gutter the buildings designated on the attached maps. Gutters should drain directly to culverted areas and avoid
discharge to areas where animal waste is present.

Talked with Keith and this Is the proposed route at this time. Craft a letter (NOI..again) that outlines everything he needs
to do and include one of the aerial photos (modified) for reference. Give him 30 days to respond with a plan for
correction. Ref. NOV in letter. Must include cover for manure pile (which we could enforce on), removal of lower drop
inlet from feedlot, guttering, etc.
Also, remind him in the same letter referring to conversation at meeting, that he must apply for NPDES permit as he has
direct discharge from the operation (drop box in feedlot as well as drop box up by sileage area) even If he gets rid of the
upper drop box. Think he has 90days to apply for NPDES permit.
Let's get this out early next week please.
CC Keith L and Soil/Water on letter.

Hi Judy -
Attached is a map showing the unnamed tributary to the French Broad River.
We did send Mr. Corn another NOV for a variety of violations including stream standard violations. As part of the NOV
we required for him to call a meeting at his farm with the NC Soil and Water and Henderson County Soil and Water
Conservation District to look over his farm and come up with a plan that will help him manage his waste better and keep
him compliant. We met and came up with a plan. Now it's up to him to implement the plan.
I cc'd you on the NOV. If you need another copy, I can scan it and send it to you via email. I'll have to do that later this
afternoon, as 1 have meeting in Spruce Pine I need to go to now. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks.

Finally have a meeting scheduled with Henderson County DA's office next week. Wanted to check with you and
see if you can provide me with a map that delineates the unnamed tributary of the French Broad River that the
waste was flowing into. We need the blue line map to show it is a water of the state for the felony violation. Also
wanted to see if any new developments or NOVs since the last time we talked. Thanks..judy

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) Permit Requires-nent
Dear Michael R Corn:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) has been required by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to develop a NPDES permit program for animal waste management
systems. The Division has developed a General NPDES Permit similar to the state Non -
Discharge General Permit that this facility is currently permitted under. Pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statutes § 143-215.1, 40 Code of Federal Regulations
§122.23. and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15. 2007, coverage under an NPDES Permit is
required of all facilities that either discharge or propose to discharge waste into to waters of the
State.
According to our records your facility meets the requirements for NPDES permit coverage due to
the discharge to waters of the State that occurred at your facility. As a result you are required to
apply for the NPDES Permit.
Within 90 days of receipt of this letter, complete and return the attached form, "NPDES
General Permit – Existinh Animal Waste Operations." Please carefully follow the
instructions on the form. If you wish to apply for an Individual NPDES Permit instead of a
General Permit. please contact us and we will forward you that application. Two copies of your
complete Certified Animal Waste Management Plan are required with the permit
application. Please refer to the checklist on page two of the application to be sure that all
necessary documents are submitted with the application. A copy of the NPDES General Permit
may be downloaded at our website:

RE: Meeting of March 6, 2008
Coleen Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
Dear Mr. Corn,
Thank you for meeting with Division of Water Quality (Division) staff, staff of N.C. Soil and Water
Conservation, and Henderson County Soil and Water yesterday. The intent of the meeting was to address non-
compliance issues at your facility as outlined In the December 28, 2007 Notice of Violation that you have yet to
respond. Primarily, we were hoping to explore options with regard to finding other fields for waste application of
the contents of the liquids pond.
The condition of your field yesterday was in noncompliance with your WUP (waste utilization plan) for a
number of reasons. The lack of cover crop, continual ponding of water (and what appeared to be wastewater),
cattle feeding activities leading to denuding of vegetation and soil compaction, presence of hydraulically active
field drains, uncalibrated spray guns in locations not designated in the WUP, elevated water table, presence of an
eroded area in the corner of the field (see photo) that allows overland flow discharge and general lack of regard
to field management strongly suggests that you should immediately seek other options (i.e., other fields) in
regard to waste application, During the meeting, we viewed the stream adjacent to your application field.
Additionally, you were shown what appears to be sewage fungus in the stream that receives water from the
stream immediately adjacent to your application field. We believe that your waste application continues to
negatively impact water quality in the adjacent streams. These observations regarding the field's condition are
not exclusive to periods of time after rain events.
In addition to the discussion referenced above, you were reminded of the deficiencies noted in the
December 2007 NOV. You should immediately explore corrective measures to address these violations and
respond to the NOV in writing. You were also made aware during our visit that wash water from any structure
containing waste is not to be directly discharged to any ditches that ultimately drain to a surface water body. This
type of release was occurring during our visit.
I hope our meeting was productive and that you understand the findings of past Inspections and
associated expectations. If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me directly at
828.296.4680,

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit
Dear Michael Corn:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) has been required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
to develop a NPDES permit program for animal waste management systems. The Division has developed a
general NPDES permit similar to the state Non -Discharge General Permit that this facility is currently permitted
under. Pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statutes §143-215.1, 40 Code of Federal
Regulations § 122.23, and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994, coverage under the General NPDES permit is required of all facilities that
have had a discharge of wastewater reaching Waters of the State.
According to our records your facility meets the requirements for an NPDES permit based on the discharge
criterion. Please sign and submit the enclosed NPDES Short Form B — Existing Facility. Please carefully follow
the instructions on the form.
Please submit the completed enclosed application within 60 days from receipt of this letter. Failure to submit the
application as required may subject your facility to a civil penalty and other enforcement actions for each day the
facility is operated following the due date of the application.
If you have any questions about the NPDES permit, the enclosed application, or any related matter please feel free
to contact me at [phone].

Roy -
The maximum liquid level or "start pump" for Henderson County dairies is
as follows:
B&B Dairy (Phillip Brittain) - 12" minimum freeboard in Slurrystore.
Concrete settling basin next to South Mills River Road is reserved for
storm storage; therefore the basin should remain empty except
immediately following a significant rain event.
Garland's Dairy (Chuck Cariand) - 18" below emergency spillway.
Small Acres Dairy (a.k.a. Taproot Dairy #2) - 21" below emergency
spillway for larger wastewater pond; 20" below top of dam for smaller
slurry pond.
Fullam Dairy (Steve & Daryl Fullam) - 8" below emergency spillway.
Taproot Dairy Farm (Bradley & Billy Johnston) - 24" below top of dam for
larger wastewater pond; 20" below top of dam for smaller slurry pond.
The slurry pond was designed where the waste will overflow the concrete
push -off ramp at the slurry pond before overtopping the embankment. It
serves as a warning to the operator that the structure has exceeded its
designed storage.
Let me know if you need anything else.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 45-7
Henderson 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. IRR 1, IRR2, DRY 1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR 1, SLUR2,
SLD I, 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

1999:
Please submit a completed general permit application form. The application was not included in
the information received by the Nan -discharge Permitting Unit on August 6, 1999.

recommendations. Irrigation events are to be listed in the WUP as the maximum application
allowable for that soil type from the time the pumps are turned on until the time they are shut off.
The application events listed in your WUP appear to be out of the Sprinkler Irrigation Guide. The
Application Amounts listed in this guide have not been adjusted for the application of animal
waste. It is currently recommended that total application amounts not exceed one inch in any
application event for any soil type. If your application rates need to be adjusted for the application
of animal waste, please have your Technical Specialist revise your WUP to reflect the appropriate
application amount per event. If the rates exceed the recommended one inch, please have your
Technical Specialist justify the increased application rate in the narrative of your WUP.
3, The WUP lists the yield for corn silage on tract 568, field 33 as 25 tons per acre, the yield for corn
silage on tract 568,. field 34 as 28 tons per acre, the yield for pasture on tract 564, field 1 as 6 tons
per acre, and the yield for pasture on tract 558, fields 1, 2, and 3 as 6 tons per acre. These are
higher than currently recommended. Please contact your technical specialist to revise the Waste
Utilization Plan or provide justification that supports the increased yield as shown in the current
WUP. Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the
technical specialist.
Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical. specialist.

SUBJECT: Operation Review Corrective Action Recommendation
Small Acres Dairy
Facility No. 45-07
Henderson County
Dear Mr. Johnston:
On May 8, an Operation Review was conducted of Small Acres Dairy, facility no. 45-07. This Review,
undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-215.10D, is one of two visits scheduled for all registered livestock
operations during the 1997 calendar year. The Division of Water Quality will conduct a second site inspection.
During the Review, it was determined that waste was = being discharged to the waters of the State,
but parts of the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and disposal systems are not up to current
standards. The discharge of milk parlor waste into the field creates the potential of discharge to the waters of
the state. It is understood that you are in the process of having a pond and other structures installed as
corrective measures for this problem. You are encouraged to stay in contact with your certified technical
specialist assistance as needed. During ensuing reviews, these some deficiencies will be re-examined to
determine if corrective actions were implemented.
In order for your facility to remain in compliance with environmental regulations, animal waste cannot be
discharged into the waters of the State, and the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and disposal
systems must be r-operly maintained and o eg_rated under the responsible charge of a certified operator.
Please remember that you are required to obtain and implement an approved animal waste
management pian by the end of this year and attend a certified waste operator course. The pian must be
certified by either a designated technical specialist or a professional engineer. For additional assistance with
the pian or the course, please contact your local Soil and Water Conservation District Office or local
Cooperative Extension Service Office.

Subject: Operator In Charge Designation
Facility: Small Acres Dairy
Facility ID ft: 45-7
Henderson County
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission on
Agricultural Waste, was enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly on June 21, 1996. This bill
requires that a certified operator be designated as the Operator in Charge by January 1, 1997, for each animal
waste management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or more horses,
1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid animal waste management system. Our
records indicate that your facility is registered with the Division of Water Quality and meets the requirements
for designating an 01C.
A training and certification program is not yet available for animal waste management systems involving
cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry. Owners and operators of these systems will be issued temporary animal waste
management certificates by the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission
(WPCSOCC). The temporary certificates will expire December 31, 1997, and will not be renewed. To obtain
a permanent certification, you will be required to complete ten hours of training and pass an examination by
December 31, 1997. A training and certification program for operators of animal waste management systems
involving cattle, sheep, horses, and poultry is now being developed and should be available by the spring of
1997. The type of training and certification required for the operator of each system will be based on the nature
of the wastes to be treated and the treatment process(es) primarily used to treat the animal waste.
As the owner of an animal operation with an animal waste management system, you must designate an
Operator in Charge and must submit the enclosed designation form to the WPCSOCC. If you do not intend to
operate your animal waste management system yourself, you must designate an employee or engage a contract
operator to be the Operator in Charge. The person designated as the Operator in Charge, whether yourself or
another person, must complete the enclosed application form for temporary certification as an animal waste
management system operator. Both the designation form and the application form must be completed and
returned by December 31, 1996.
If you have questions about the new requirements for animal waste management system operators, please call
Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt at 9191733-0026.
Sincerely,
FOR Steve W. Tedder

Subject: Proposed Dairy Operation
Wastewater Systems
Johnston Dairy
Henderson County
Dear Mr. Johnston:
At the request of Mr. Roger Maney, your proposed dairy
operation and the means by which wastewaters and feedlot runoff
will be controlled. The proposed use of a grassed waterway is
acceptable provided no discharge to surface waters will occur.
It would be advisable to divert all storm water not coming into
contact with the animal or other wastes out of the area.
It is understood that the Soil. Consetvation Service did
develop a waste management plan involving a lagoon. Since the
SCS plans often qualify for cost share .funds it would be
advisable to further evaluate the SCS plan and possible include
the lagoon project into your proposed grassed waterway system.
Should you have any questions or need assistance do not
hesitate to contact this office.
Sincere.l.y yours,
Gary"t. Tweed, P.E.
