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 $25,000 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 receive approval from the Division of Water Quality prior to stocking animals to that level. Threshold numbers of animals are as follows: Swine 250 Confined Cattle 100 Horses 75 Sheep 1,000 Poultry with a liquid wastes stem 30,000 If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sonya Avant at (919) 733-5083 ext. 571or Steve Lewis (919) 733-5083 ext. 539.

Stout 281 Harris Bridge Road Stony Point NC 28678 Re: Animal Waste Management Certification Renewal Certificate Holder: Wayne P. Stout County: Iredell Dear Stout: NCDENR Senate Bill 1217, enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1996, states "a certificate holder who fails to renew their certificate and pay the renewal fee within 30 days of its expiration shall be required to take and pass the examination for certification in order to renew the certificate". You were mailed an invoice in October 2000 notifying you that your certificate would expire December 31, 2000, and that a $10.00 annual renewal payment was due by that date. The 30 -day grace period ended January 30, 2001. Since your payment was not received, your certificate expired effective December 31, 2000. Therefore, you do not possess a valid animal waste management certificate. Please note that without a valid certificate, law prohibits you from performing the duties of an Operator in Charge of an animal waste management system. The next available opportunity to retake the Animal Waste Management System Operators certification examination will be June 14, 2001. An examination application is enclosed for your use. Please note that a completed examination application must be postmarked 30 days prior to the examination that you wish to take. If you did not intend to renew your animal waste management certificate or do not wish to get recertified, you may disregard this letter and your animal waste management system operators certification will remain invalid. Please call Beth Buffington at 919-733-0026, extension 313, if you have any questions regarding this matter.

Subject: Fertilizer AppIicfttt-Reco'4f1#9R1E#r Animal Waste Management Sy's'tem"` Facility Number 49-65 Iredell 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 I , 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 DWQ staff at (919) 733-5083 ext. 571. Sincere , Kerr T.

In general the facility appeared to be in good shape. During many of Mr. Johnson's inspections he has noted that some farms are often missing one or more components of the farm plan that should be available for review. The following items must be available for review by the inspector during the inspection. • Certification forms. • Site Diagram: Fencing, streams, buffer zones, feed areas must be shown. • Waste Application records with accompanying waste analysis. • Maps of acreage and irrigated fields. • Waste Utilization pian: Tract/field number, usable/wettable acres (not necessarily total acreage), list of crops, PAN required, and amount of waste produced by livestock. • Waste and Soil analysis info: Must have 3 years of data. It is suggested that this be maintained in a single folder. • Emergency Action Plan must be posted. • Insect, Odor Control, and Mortality Checklists must be completed. • Certified Operator renewal card. Failure to have the above components available and complete could result in a Notice of Violation or other enforcement actions. Also remember that waste applications should be made during the time the crop can utilize the nutrients in the waste. In general waste should be applied no earlier than 30 days prior to planting. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Johnson or me at (704) 663-1699. Sincerely, D. Rex Gle son, P. E. Water Quality Regional Supervisor cc.

Stony Point, NC 28678 Subject: Site Inspection View -La Dairy, Facility #: 49-65 Iredell County, NC Dear Mr. Stout: Mr. AIan Johnson of this office has been asked on several occasions about the appropriate time and proper method to take soil and waste samples. Also, during his inspections, he has noticed that while the storage capacity may be adequate in the storage pond/lagoon, in some cases it was not at the level set forth in the waste utilization plan. Mr. Johnson has also noted that some animal operations using hay/pasture systems do not appear to be properly managing the hay crop in the waste application fields. This letter is to highlight some concerns and provide some general guidance regarding the management of the storage pond/lagoon and waste application fields. For more specific/detailed information, please contact your technical specialist or your local agricultural extension service. Be advised that should a farm be found violating its farm plan and/or have an u.npermitted discharge, besides facing civil penalties, the facility could be required to apply for an individual permit. Currently, most farms are operating under a general permit. Waste applications Just as you manage the animals at your facility, proper management of the waste (lagoon/storage pond level) is important. The waste must be pumped from the ponds at the correct time and provide for maximum utilization of the nutrients by the crop. Remember, waste application rates in your farm plan are based on agronomic principles, and assumes the waste will be applied when the nutrients are required (e.g., applying waste to corn at tasseling or bermuda grass in November is of little use for the uptake of nitrogen). Also, the established application rate assumes that the previous crop has been removed from the field. 919 NORTH MAIN STREET, MOORESV I LLE, NORTH CAROLINA 28115 PHONE 704-663-1699 FAX 704-663-6040 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY /AFFIRMATIVE ACTON EMPLOYCR-50% RECYCLEO/10% POST-CONSUMIER PAPIER `1 Page 2 Grass and small grain crops grown for hay should be harvested in a timely manner. To maximize nutrient uptake, as indicated in the waste utilization plan, and for highest quality, the crop should be harvested at early boot stage (generally every 4 to 5 weeks). Small grain for silage can be harvested in the soft dough stage when direct cut. Contact your agricultural extension agent or technical specialist for proper guidance. General Recommendations for Nitrogen M Application for Common—Crops: • Small Grains: One-third (113) N at planting and remainder in late February or early March. • Corn/Sorghum: For facilities that pump and haul, N should be applied prior to planting. For those facilities that irrigate, a split application with half at planting and the remainder when the corn is 18 inches high. • Fescue/Orchardgrass: Apply one-half (1/2) of the N in mid-February to March and one- half (112) in mid-August to September. • Bermuda grass: Establishing: 30 to 40 lbs N/ac at planting and 30 to 60 lbs N/ac when runners appear (6 -8 wk. after planting). Maintaining: 50 to 60 lbs N/ac in April and the remainder of the recommended amount in equal increments in June and July or after each cutting. Finally, there have been instances where the amount of waste pumped (as shown in the waste application records) from the lagoon/storage pond does not appear to agree with the amount of waste produced by the animals. One would expect on an annual basis that the amount pumped would be approximately equal to the amount being produced. For example, if a dairy is generating 453,000 gal/yr in waste, then approximately 453,000 gallons of waste should be accounted for in the waste application records over a year. However, there may be'some difference due to how low the storage pond was pumped, the number of cows being held in the facility, or the amount of rainfall. Soil analysis (FREE) Fifteen to twenty (15 to 20) soil samples per field (20 acres or less) is desirable. The samples should be thoroughly mixed and sent in as one sample. Each sample should be pulled 4 inches deep for pastures and no -till systems and 8 inches deep for conventional tillage systems. Taking samples during the fall is advisable. The state lab is not as busy at that time and can provide a more timely turn around with the results. This is also a good time to apply lime if recommended by the soil test. When liming is necessary, it is important that it be applied as suggested. Maintaining proper soil pH is as important (if not more so) than fertilizing to maximize crop production. i; Page 3 Waste samples/analysis ($4/sample) The state lab now has the capability to conduct analyses and provide the results within two working days via the intemet. Through the.US Postal service allow seven days. Take samples in a timely manner such that waste application, rates can be based on the most recent sample results. Six to eight (6 to 8) samples should be taken around the edge of the lagoon/storage pond, approximately 6 feet from the edge and 12 inches below the surface. These can be mixed to make one sample. The sample should be refrigerated if it is not going to be shipped the same day. Always mail waste samples in plastic containers. For farmers who do not have to agitate the lagoon/storage pond prior to application, it is strongly suggested that waste samples be taken prior to waste application. This will prevent the producer from having to go back and complete the waste application record at a later date. For fanners who apply waste to hay fields and pastures, it is strongly suggested that waste samples be taken quarterly if the waste is applied anytime during the growing season.

Facility No. 49-65 Iredell County Dear Mr, Stout, On July 23, an Operation Review was conducted of View -La Dairy, facility no. 49-65. This Review, undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-215. l OD, 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, the level of waste in the holding pond exceeded the level allowed by regulation. Since failure to maintain adequate freeboard and storage capacity in the pond is a violation, your operation along with supporting documentation was referred to the Division of Water Quality for further investigation and possible enforcement action. G.S. 143-215.10E requires me to notify Division of Water Quality and the owner/operator of this observed violation. As discussed during the Review, it is imperative that this problem be resolved as soon as possible. You are strongly encouraged to contact your certified technical specialist for help. You may also want to contact your local Soil and Water Conservation District Office since they may be able to provide you with additional technical and/or financial assistance to implement corrective best management practices. Please remember that in order for your facility to be in compliance with environmental regulations, animal waste c�anno be discharged into the waters of the State, and the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and disposal systems must be properly sized, maintained and operated under the responsible charge of a certified operator. Also remember that all registered Iivestock operations are required to obtain and implement an approved animal waste management plan by the end of this year, and to gain certification as a animal waste system operator. The animal waste management plan must be certified by either a designated technical specialist or a professional engineer. For additional assistance with the plan, please contact your local Soil and Water Conservation District Office or local Cooperative Extension Service Office. The Division of Soil and Water Conservation appreciates your cooperation with this Operation Review. Please do not hesitate to call me at 704/663-1699 ext. 277 if you have any questions, concerns or need additional information. 919 North Main Street, 4.C FAX 704-663-6040 Mooresville, North Carolina 28115 An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer Voice 704-663-1699 50% recycled/ 101% post -consumer paper Mr. Oren Stout July 30, 1997 Page 2 Sincerely, sep C.

With this in mind, this letter will touch on some of the general components and issues that are of concern during an inspection. As a certified, or soon to be certified, farm your files at a minimum must contain the following information, and need to be available for review during the inspection: Certification forms Site diagram - showing fencing, streams, buffer zones Waste application records/forms Maps of acreage and irrigated fields Waste utilization plan Waste and soil analysis records Emergency action plan and mortality & odor control checklist Regarding waste application records, all information should be recorded. This includes (but is not limited to) the field used, total minutes waste was applied (if required), the amount of waste irrigated/ hauled, the amount of nitrogen applied and the crop nitrogen balance. The crops and fields that are being utilized for waste application must he specified in the certified waste management plan. For those facilities that grow hay, the date when the hay is harvested should be recorded. If you feel the plan does not allow you the flexibility you need, contact a technical specialist to have the farm plan modified. For lagoons/storage ponds, remember that a freeboard of 12 inches plus an additional 5 - 9 inches (depending on location) for a 25 year/24 hour rain event must be maintained from the top of the storage pond/lagoon. If there is an emergency spillway/pipe, then the level must be maintained to compensate for a 25 yr/24 hr storm. A pumping marker must also be installed. This may be a pipe or other structure that is already in the lagoon. Whatever the marker is, it must be prominently identified. ft 919 North Main Street, W 1;6 FAX 704-663-6040 Mooresville, North Carolina 28115 ��C An Equal QpportunityLAffirmative Action Employer Voice 704-663-1699 : ?..,_ 50% recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper Page 2 The question often comes up as to what warrants a Notice of Violation (NOV). An NOV may be issued for the following instances, among others: a) inadequate freeboard, b) inadequate land for waste application, c) application on an unapproved crop/acreage, d) discharge of waste from lagoon/facility, e) excessive vegetation on the sideslopes of a lagoon/pond, or f) other minor deficiencies. Examples of a deficiency would be the waste or soil analysis forms not being up to date or the application records not being filled out properly: Please note, failure to submit the certification form by December 31, 1997, does not exclude you from the responsibility of maintaining your storage pond/lagoon levels and waste application records. Also, please be advised that North Carolina General Statutes provide for penalties of up to $10,000 per day per violation as well as criminal penalties for violations of state environmental laws and regulations.

OFFICE Iredell 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 OIC. 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 919/733-0026.
