A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the

administrative hearing and a stipulation that there are no factual or legal issues in
dispute. You must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and
stipulation form and a detailed statement which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B -282.1(b)

(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting
from the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining
necessary remedial actions.

15A NCAC 2H.0217 AND ) CIVIL PENALTIES
15A NCAC 2H.0224 (a) )
Acting pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources, 1, Kerr T. Stevens, Director of the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ), make the following:
I. FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. Keith Stephens leases and operates the Sunrise Dairy Farm located in Iredell
County.
B. The Sunrise Dairy Farm was deemed permitted as a nondischarge facility on
February 1, 1993 in accordance with 15A NCAC 213 .0217. An approved animal
waste management plan is required by 15A NCAC 2H .0217 as a condition of
being deemed permitted.
C. A waste utilization plan is a required component of an animal waste management
plan in accordance with G.S. 143-215.10C(e).
D. An approved animal waste management plan certification including a waste
utilization plan (WUP) for Sunrise Dairy was received by DWQ on February 1,
1999.
E. The WUP for Sunrise Dairy specifies that the upper (or freestall) waste storage
pond shall maintain a freeboard level of at least one and eight tenths (1.8) feet
below the emergency spillway. The WUP also specifies that the lower waste
storage pond shall maintain a freeboard level of two (2) feet below the emergency
spillway.

F. On March 1, 2001, DWQ staff inspected the Sunrise Dairy and observed that the
freeboard level in the upper storage pond was less than one (1) inch below the
spillway and the freeboard level in the lower waste storage pond was
approximately twelve (12) inches below the spillway.
G. Item #16 of the WUP for Sunrise Dairy states in part that "Vegetation such as
trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered
appropriate. Lagoon/holding pond areas should be kept mowed and accessible."
H. During the August 22nd inspection, DWQ staff was unable to make a proper
inspection of the waste storage ponds because the abundance of small trees and .
shrubs made the storage pond embankments inaccessible.
I. Item #20 of the WUP for Sunrise Dairy states in part that "A marker will be
required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds."
J. On August 22, 2000 and March 1, 2001, DWQ staff observed that no marker had
been installed in the lower waste storage pond. In addition to the requirement in
the WUP, Mr. Stephens had been notified of this violation in correspondence
from DWQ dated June 11, 1999.
K. Records including testing of waste products and soil at crop sites and waste
application records shall be made available upon request to the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources pursuant to G.S. 143-215.1OC(e)(8).
L. On August 22, 2000 and March 1, 2001, DWQ staff inspected the Sunrise Dairy.
On both occasions, Mr. Stephens failed to make available the facility's waste
application records and soil and waste analyses. Mr. Stephens had also failed to
make the records available during the facility's inspection in 1999.
M. As of January 1, 1997, a certified operator in responsible charge is required to
operate an animal waste management system in accordance with 15A NCAC
2H.0224 (a).
N. According to DWQ records, no certified operator in charge of the animal waste
management system has been designated at Sunrise Dairy since January 1, 1999.
Mr. Stephens had been notified of this violation in correspondence from DWQ
dated June 11, 1999, during the inspection on August 22, 2000, and in
.correspondence dated March 6, 2001
O. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $285.52.

Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following:
II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
A. Keith Stephens is a "person" within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.6A pursuant to
G.S. 143-212(4).
B. A permit for this animal waste management system is required in accordance with
15A NCAC 2H .0217 and G. S. 143-215.1.
C. The above-cited failures to maintain freeboard levels in the waste storage ponds at
the level specified in the WUP is a violation of the 15A NCAC 2H .0217 non -
discharge deemed permit and G.S. 143-215.1.
D. The above-cited failure to keep the waste storage ponds accessible is a violation of
the non -discharge deemed permit and G.S. 143-215.1.
E. The above-cited failures to install a marker in the lower waste storage pond are
violations of the non -discharge deemed permit and G.S. 143-215.1.
F. The above-cited failures to make available records upon request are violations of
the non -discharge deemed permit and G.S. 143-215.1.
G. For facilities permitted in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217, an operator in
charge must be designated in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0224 (a).
H. The above-cited failures to designate a certified operator in charge of the animal
wastewater treatment facility are violations of 15A NCAC 2H .0224 (a).
I. Keith Stephens may be assessed civil penalties pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2)
which provides that a civil penalty of not more than ten thousand dollars
($10,000.00) per violation may be assessed against a person who violates or fails
to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a ' permit
required by G.S. 143-215.1.
Keith Stephens may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G.S.
143-215.6A(a)(4), which provides that a civil penalty of not more than ten
thousand dollars ($10,000.00) per violation may be assessed against a person for

Violator: Keith Stephens' Dairy Farm
Address: 140 Lake View Dr.
• -- - State Road, NC 28676
Iredell County
Responsible Party: Keith Stephens' Dairy Farm
Regional Office: Mooresville
1. The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violations:
No harm has been measured or quantified. However, the failure to properly maintain records
could impact groundwater through excessive application of nitrogen to the receiving crop.
Also, the failure to maintain records could interfere with proper management of the
wastewater treatment/disposal facilities, including runoff of waste to the surface water of the
state.
2. The duration and gravity of the violations:
The Division of Soil and Water and the Division of Water Quality have documented the
problem of improper maintenance of the storage pond embankments (since 1998). Also, Mr.
Stephens' failure to provide adequate records of the waste being removed from the storage
ponds was noted in -the 1999 inspections. . , -
Mr. Stephens' operator certification expired in January 1999. In June of this year he re -
enrolled in the operator certification class and was re -certified. However, he failed to
complete the Certified Operator designation form.
3. The effect on ground or surface water quality or quantity or on air quality
No effects have been measured.
4. The cost of rectifying the damage
No environmental damage was documented.

5. The amount of money saved by noncompliance:
If Mr. Stephens claims he did not have the time to properly maintain the storage ponds'
freeboard levels and embankments and to properly maintain the records then monies may
have been saved by not employing staff to handle these problems for him. Also, the cost of
employing a certified operator was saved by failing to haves one for this facility.
6. Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally:
Mr. Stephens' was- informed•on--numerous occasions of -the - problems- at. his -facility -(pond -
embankments, inadequate records, and certified operator). For whatever reasons, Mr.
Stephens failed to make the necessary effort to correct the noted problems.
7. The prior record of the violator in -complying or -failing to comply with programs over which
the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority:
A Notice of Violation was issued on June 11, 1999 for failing to maintain adequate
records, for failing to install a pump marker,�and failing to designate a certified operator.
• A Notice of Violation was issued on May 5, 2000 for failing to maintain adequate
freeboard in the lower storage pond.
• A Notice of Violation was issued on August 31, 2000 for failing to maintain the storage
pond embankments and failure to maintain required records.
8. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures:

Inspection Summary:
4. Waste level is at the spillway of #4. Need to pump ASAP.
7. Need to establish permanent vegetation on embankment of #4. Cut woody trees also.
7. Continue cutting woody trees on embankment of #1 (upper) and #2 (lower). Same on #3 lower.
9. Need to install berm to keep waste out of drain near lot.
18. Chris Cass (Yadkin Co.) recently pumped. Is to continue the hauling and application of waste.
18. Need to have irrigation system checked prior to use to ensure proper application.
29. Leeway farms to haul.
33. Would need permit if confined cattle numbers are 100 or greater.
Today's inspection was at the request of the milk inspector, Lee VanHoy. Prior to issuing a milk permit, Lee wanted to make sure that
the operation was in compliance with WQ regs. I told Lee that milk permit could be issued as soon as waste was pumped down.
Owner wants to bring in cattle as soon as possible. MMR

The waste management system will keep pollutants out of the streams
and rivers if the 25 yr - 24 hr storage capacity is maintained in
the waste storage ponds and diversions for clean water and polluted
runoff are maintained around the system.
Whenever the slurry pond below the milking parlor fills to a point
1.2 feet below the crest of the emergency spillway, it shall be
pumped if weather and soil conditions permit. See elevation of pump
out marker.
The pond below the free stall barn must be pumped, soil and weather
conditions permitting, when the slurry rises to 1.8 feet below the
crest of the emergency spillway. Likewise the new slurry pond shall
be pumped if the waste is within 2 feet of the crest of the
emergency spillway.
The existing middle liquid pond is to be pumped, if it is not
raining or the ground saturated, when the polluted water is within
1.0 feet of the emergency spillway.
Vegetation around the waste storage ponds shall be mowed annually
and eroded areas repaired. Fencing shall be checked and repaired as
required. Concrete curbing and slab work will be inspected
periodically and repaired to assure that they function as designed.
Dams will be inspected for excessive seepage, sliding, and damage by
burrowing animals. These problems will be repaired after
consultation with.the iredell Soil and Water Conservation District.
Follow other sections of the plan for maintenance on heavy use
areas, stock trails and grass filter areas.

written for 300 milk cows, 140 dry cows, 75 heifers, and 30 calves for which the farm was certified. A recent site
visitation made to this farm showed that the farm has less than 30 cows at the facility and may stay below the threshold
animal capacity (100 cows) in order to get a permit. Please verify the status of the farm and fill out the enclosed Request
for Removal of Registration for going below the threshold or going our of business.
2. If you wish to continue with the permit, please verify that the same WUP is being followed on this farm. A recent site
visit by the Division of Soil and water Conservation staff also suggested revise the plan to include T2283 Filed 2 and to
include the current irrigation equipment. If you have modified the WUP since, then please submit a copy of most recent
WUP that reflects correct number of animals, crops grown, field utilized and has field maps with acreage clearly marked
on the maps.
Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist.
Please reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be
signed, sealed. and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this letter

Dear Mrs. Campbell:
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application.
Additibnal information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by July 26,
2000:
1. Please complete/correct the enclosed application form.
2. Please provide lagoon capacity documentation (design, as -built calculations, etc.). Be sure to
include any site evaluations, wetland determinations, or hazard classifications that may be
applicable.
3. The WUP submitted calculates the amount of nitrogen produced in one year. However, it appears
that the WUP uses a two-year crop rotation. Your WUP should be revised so that the nitrogen
produced and the nitrogen utilized by crops is calculated for the same time period. Some options
for revising the WUP include: calculating the amount of nitrogen produced for a two-year period
of time, revising your WUP to show waste utilization for Year One and Year Two of the two-year
rotation in separate tables, or showing a two- year crop rotation with corn and soybeans on half the
acreage from each field.
4. Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) lists the Yield for Corn on as 175 bushels per acre. This is
higher than currently recommended. Please contact your technical specialist to revise the Waste
Utilization Pian 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.
5: Best Management Practices (BMPs) that are to be implemented at this facility should be identified
(check the appropriate BMPs) on the Insect Control Checklist and on the Odor Control Checklist.
6. Please indicate the method by which mortalities will be handled on the Mortality Management
Checklist.

It was very nice to speak with you today. As we discussed over the phone,
I am sending you another additional information letter asking for the same items
that were asked of you on June 26, 2000. Your previous reviewer, Susan Cauley
is longer with our unit, so I have been re -assigned your facility's permit. Please
complete these items that are missing or need correction.
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary
engineering review of the subject application. Additional information is
required before we can continue our review. Please address the following
by March 12,2001:.
1. Please complete and correct the enclosed application form. You did
not submit this with your original application.

2. ' Please provide waste storage pond capacity documentation for your
four waste storage ponds (design, as -built calculations, etc.). We
need to know how much waste can be. stored in the ponds and for how
much time the waste can be stored during the year. Be sure to include
any site evaluations, wetland determinations, or hazard classifications
that may be applicable.
3. Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) appears to calculate the amount
of nitrogen produced in one year. However, it appears that the WUP
uses a two-year crop rotation. Your WUP should be revised so that
the rritrogen produced and the nitrogen utilized by crops is calculated
for the same time period. Some options for revising the WUP
include: calculating the amount of nitrogen produced for a two-year
period of time, revising your WUP to show waste utilization for Year
One and Year Two of the two-year rotation in separate tables. Please
note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the
owner and the technical specialist.
4. Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) lists the Yield for Corn on as 175
bushels per acre. This is higher than currently recommended. Please
contact your technical specialist to revise the Waste Utilization Plan
or provide 5 years of crop yield records for these fields which justify
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.

Sunrise Dairy, Facility #: 49-76
iredell County, NC
Mr. Alan Johnson of this Office conducted a site inspection at your facility on
May 25, 1999. This Notice of Violation is being issued due to following problems:
Failure to have a designated certified operator for the facility.
Failure to have waste application records, waste analysis or soil analysis available
for review.
Failure to have a visible pumping marker in the irrigation pond.
The problems noted above are a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1

Until such time that you can be recertified, you must immediately designate a
temporary certified operator for the facility. Also, a record must be kept for any
waste being removed from the storage ponds, regardless if the waste is applied to
fields listed in the farm plan or applied by a third party to another farm. Finally, a
pumping marker similar to the ones used in the other storage ponds is suggested.
It is requested that a written response be submitted to this office by June 21, 1999
indicating the actions taken to correct the noted problem. It is requested that you
address this information to the attention of Mr. Johnson.
Also, 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 items below must be available for review during the inspection.

Dear Mr. Stephens:
w
Mr. Alan Johnson of this Office visited your facility on May 2, 2000 to
determine if the dairy was still in operation. While attempting to verify the number
of animals at the facility, Mr. Johnson observed that the storage pond behind the
main freestall and the irrigation pond at the rear of the facility did not have adequate
freeboard levels. He noted that waste had recently discharged through the emergency
�..-�:_ _•x
spillway of the irrigation pond and waste was still evident in the spillway. In the
L•--�
storage pond behind the freestall, the pump marker could not be seen due to the high
water level. Failing to properly maintain the required freeboard in a waste storage
pond is a violation:'North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1OC and North
-
Z-'
Carolina Administrative Code 15A 2H. 0217 (d).
The waste storage ponds must be pumped immediately and the waste level
�, ..
lowered (at a minimum) to a point below the 25-yr./24-hr. storm event pump level. It
i -- -
is requested that a written response be submitted to this Office by May 17, 2000
indicating when the waste level was lowered below the 25-yr./24-hr. storm event
level required by your farm plan. Also, include the tracts and fields receiving the
s-
waste. Please address this information to the attention of Mr. Johnson.

Dear Mr. Stephens:
This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessed against Sunrise Dairy Farm in the
amount of $2,285.52 which includes $285.52 in investigative costs. Attached is a copy of the
assessment document explaining this penalty.
This action was taken under the authority vested in me by delegation provided by the
Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Any continuing violation(s)
may be the subject of a new enforcement action, including an additional penalty.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
I. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form).
Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement action for
any continuing or new violation(s).

Justification for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the
reasonableness of the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for
contesting the accuracy of any of the statements contained in the assessment
letter. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an
administrative hearing and a stipulation that there are no factual or legal issues in
dispute. You must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and
stipulation form and a detailed statement which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282. l(b)
were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting
from the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining
necessary remedial actions.

FINDINGS AND DECISION
AND ASSESSMENT OF
CIVIL PENALTIES
Acting pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources, I, Kerr T. Stevens, Director of the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ), make the following:
I. FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. Keith Stephens leases and operates the Sunrise Dairy Farm located in Iredell
County.
B. The Sunrise Dairy Farm was deemed permitted as a nondischarge facility on
February 1, 1993 in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217. An approved animal
waste management plan is required by 15A NCAC 2H .0217 as a condition of
being deemed permitted.
C. A waste utilization plan is a required component of an animal waste management
plan in accordance with G.S. 143-215.10C(e).
D. An approved animal waste management plan certification including a waste
utilization plan (WUP) for Sunrise Dairy was received by DWQ on February 1,
1999.
E. The WUP for Sunrise Dairy specifies that the upper (or freestall) waste storage
pond shall maintain a freeboard .level of at least one and eight tenths (1.8) feet
below the emergency spillway. The WUP also specifies that the lower waste
storage pond shall maintain a freeboard level of two (2) feet below the emergency
spillway.

F. On March 1, 2001, DWQ staff inspected the Sunrise Dairy and observed that the
freeboard level in the upper storage pond was less than one (1) inch below the
spillway and the freeboard level in the lower waste storage pond was
approximately twelve (12) inches below the spillway.
G. Item #16 of the WUP for Sunrise Dairy states in part that "Vegetation such as
trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered
appropriate. Lagoon/holding pond areas should be kept mowed and accessible."
H. During the August 22nd inspection, DWQ staff was unable to make a proper
inspection of the waste storage ponds because the abundance of small trees and
shrubs made the storage pond embankments inaccessible.
1. Item #20 of the WUP for Sunrise Dairy states in part that "A marker will be
required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds."
J. On August 22, 2000 and March 1, 2001, DWQ staff observed that no marker had
been installed in the lower waste storage pond. In addition to the requirement in
the WUP, Mr. Stephens had been notified of this violation in correspondence
from DWQ dated June 11, 1999.
K. Records including testing of waste products and soil at crop sites and waste
application records shall be made available upon request to the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources pursuant to G.S. 143-215.10C(e)(8).
L. On August 22, 2000 and March 1, 2001, DWQ staff inspected the Sunrise Dairy.
On both occasions, Mr. Stephens failed to make available the facility's waste
application records and soil and waste analyses. Mr. Stephens had also failed to
make the records available during the facility's inspection in 1999.
M. As of January 1, 1997, a certified operator in responsible charge is required to
operate an animal waste management system in accordance with 15A NCAC
2H.0224 (a).
N. According to DWQ records, no certified operator in charge of the animal waste
management system has been designated at Sunrise Dairy since January 1, 1999.
Mr. Stephens had been notified of this violation in correspondence from DWQ
dated June 11, 1999, during the inspection on August 22, 2000, and in
correspondence dated March 6, 2001.
O. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $285.52.

Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following:
H. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
A. Keith Stephens is a "person' within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.6A pursuant to
G.S. 143-212(4).
B. A permit for this animal waste management system is required in accordance with
.15A NCAC 2H .0217 and G.S. 143-215.1.
C. The above-cited failures to maintain freeboard levels in the waste .storage ponds at
the level specified in the WUP is a violation of the 15A NCAC 2H .0217 non -
discharge deemed permit and G.S. 143-215.1.
D. The above-cited failure to keep the waste storage ponds accessible is a violation of
the non -discharge deemed permit and G.S. 143-215.1.
E. The above-cited failures to install a marker in the lower waste storage pond are
violations of the non -discharge deemed permit and G.S. 143-215.1.
F. The above-cited failures to make available records upon request are violations of
the non -discharge deemed permit and G.S. 143-215.1.
G. For facilities permitted in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217, an operator in
charge must be designated in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0224 (a).
H. The above-cited failures to designate a certified operator in charge of the animal
wastewater treatment facility are violations of 15A NCAC 2H .0224 (a).
1. Keith Stephens may be assessed civil penalties pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2)
which provides that a civil penalty of not more than ten thousand dollars
($10,000.00) per violation may be assessed against a person who violates or fails
to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a ' permit
required by G.S. 143-215.1.
J. Keith Stephens may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G.S.
143-215.6A(a)(4), which provides that a civil penalty of not more than -ten
thousand dollars ($10,000.00) per violation may be assessed against a person for
failing to file, submit, or make available any documents, data, or reports required
by North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 143 Title 21.
K. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be assessed against Keith
Stephens pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a)(9) and G.S. 143B -282.1(b)(8).
L. The Director, Division of Water Quality, pursuant to delegation provided by the
Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, has the
authority to assess civil penalties in this matter.

Based upon the above Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, I make the following:
III. DECISION:
Accordingly, Keith Stephens is hereby assessed a civil penalty of:

Iredell County, NC
Dear Mr. Stephens:
Mr. Alan Johnson of this Office conducted an inspection of your facility on March 1,
2001. This letter is being issued as a Notice of Violation for the following:
• Inadequate freeboard. The upper storage pond, which should maintain at least IS
inches of freeboard, was full. The lower storage pond had exceeded the maximum
liquid waste level by approximately 12 inches.
• The storage ponds' embankments need to have the shrubs/briars removed and or_
maintained. This was noted during the inspection conducted in August 2000.
• The pump marker has not yet been installed in the lower storage pond. This was
noted in the previous year's inspection.
• The records were inadequate. Waste application records, waste analyses, certification
form, and other information was not available for review. The Division of Soil and
Water (as well as the Division of Water Quality) has noted this in previous
inspections.
• Failure -to designate a certified operator for the facility. Again, this was noted during
the inspection in August 2000.
It is requested that a written response be submitted to this Office by March 21, 2001
indicating the actions taken to correct the noted violations. Please address your response to the
attention of Mr. Johnson. It is also requested that your response reference the date and subject of
this NOV and the facility number.

WATER QVALI i- rI
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blase Ribbon Study Commission on Agricultural
bVaste, was enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly. This legislation requires owner of a certified
operator 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 waste management
system.
Our records indicate that the operator designated as the Operator In Charge (OIC) for your animal waste
management, system is no longer certified. Therefore, you must designate a properly certified animal waste
management system operator as the OIC for your facility. The enclosed designation form must be returned to this
office by April 1, 2001. This office maintains a list of certified operators in your area if you need assistance in
locating a certified operator.
Failure to designate a properly certified Operator in Charge for your facility is a violation of N.C.G.S. 90A-47.2
and 15A NCAC 8F .0201(a) and may result in the initiation of enforcement action. Please be advised that nothing
in this letter should be taken as resolving you of the responsibility and liability for any past or future violations for
your failure to have a properly certified Operator in Charge designated for your animal waste management system.
If you have questions concerning this matter, or if this office can be of further assistance, please call Beth
Buffington at [phone], extension 313.

Administrative Code 15A 2H. 0217 (d).
t. •w' .; ..;,;�'�-'' .F" Based on Mr. Johnson's observations, the vegetative growth on the

== 4ulnp markers were not observed in the "middle" and "lower" storage ponds. The
-`- _-� vegetated overgrowth creates a habitat for groundhogs and other animals that may
impair the integrity of the storage ponds' dams. It is suggested that you contact your
technical specialist for assistance.
It was also noted that wastAemoval records were not available. Even though
a third party pumps and hauls waste from the ponds, a record of the amount and date
of the removal must be recorded. This was noted in the May 1999 inspection report.
Also, a waste analysis must be performed on the waste being removed. Be aware

Facility Number 49-76
Iredell County
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Rocky Durham on 5/11/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your
facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of
the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X".
Category 1:
The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Rocky Durham the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Rocky Durham, at 919 North Main Street,
Mooresville, NC 28115, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any
questions please contact Rocky Durham at [phone]. If within 90 days you are
unable to provide Rocky Durham with the information you are automatically required
to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within
180 days of receipt of this letter.

Category 2:
❑ Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next
180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
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.

DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY
ENFORCEMENT CASE ASSESSMENT FACTORS
Type: OP
Violator: Keith Stephens' Dairy Farm
Address: 140 Lake View Dr.
State Road, NC 28676
Iredell County
Responsible Party: Keith Stephens' Dairy Farm
Regional Office: Mooresville
1. The degree and extent of harm to the natural. resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violations:
No harm has been measured or quantified. However, the failure to properly maintain records
could impact groundwater through excessive application of nitrogen to the receiving crop.
Also, the failure to maintain records could interfere with proper management of the
wastewater treatment/disposal facilities, including runoff of waste to the surface water of the
state.
2. The duration and gravity of the violations:
The Division of Soil and Water and the Division of Water Quality have documented the
problem of improper maintenance of the storage pond embankments (since 1998). Also, Mr.
Stephens' failure to provide adequate records of the waste being removed from the storage
ponds was noted in the 1999 inspections.
Mr. Stephens' operator certification expired in January 1999. In June of this year he re -
enrolled in the operator certification class and was re -certified. However, he failed to
complete the Certified Operator designation form.
3. The effect on ground or surface water quality or quantity or on air quality
No effects have been measured.
4. The cost of rectifying the damage
No environmental damage was documented.

5. The amount of money saved by noncompliance:
If Mr. Stephens claims he did not have the time to properly maintain the storage ponds'
freeboard levels and embankments and to properly maintain the records then monies may
have been saved by not employing staff to handle these problems for him. Also, the cost of
employing a certified operator was saved by failing to have one for this facility.
6. Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally:
Mn, Stephensewas, informed on numerous occasions of the problems at his -facility (pond­­-
embankments,
pond­-embankments, inadequate records, and certified operator). For whatever reasons, Mr.
Stephens failed to make the necessary effort to correct the noted problems.
7. The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which
the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority:
A Notice of Violation was issued on June 11, 1999 for failing to maintain adequate
records, for failing to install a pump marker, and failing to designate.a certified operator.
A Notice of Violation was issued on May 5, 2000 for failing to maintain adequate
freeboard in the lower storage pond.
A Notice of Violation was issued on August 31, 2000 for -failing to maintain the storage
pond embankments and failure to maintain required records.
8. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures:
Central Office Review and Processing = $ 100.00
7.0 hours by investigator for investigating and
drafting report(s) @ 18.94/hr. _ $ 132.58
1.0 hour by Water Quality Regional Supervisor
for review @ $37.94hr. _ $ 37.94
1.0 hour for clerical support @ $15.00/hr. = $ - 15.00
9. Type of violator and general nature of business (i.e. individual vs. large corporation):
Mr. Stephens is a self-employed dairyman with two facilities (dairies). This enforcement is
in reference to facility #49-76, which is certified for 300 head of cattle. Currently, Mr.
Stephens is stocking approximately 100 head of dry cows. The main facility is a 250 -head
dairy located in Surry County, NC. Problems have also been documented with this operation
as well.
10. Violator's degree of cooperation (including efforts to prevent or restore) or recalcitrance:
The violator has not been cooperative.
11. Mitigating circumstances:
None

12. Assessment Factors:
a)
IWC: Not applicable
b)
Receiving stream: Not applicable
c)
SOC/negotiations: None
d)
Damage: None documented

NCGS 143-215.10 C
Stephens Dairy, Facility #: 49-76
Iredell County, NC
Dear Mr. Stephens:
Mr. Alan Johnson of this Office conducted an inspection of your facility on
August 22, 2000. This letter is being issued as a Notice of Violation/Notice of
Recommendation for Enforcement for failing to properly maintain the storage ponds
and for failing to have available for review the waste application/removal records.
Failure to properly maintain the waste storage ponds and provide adequate records is
a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.10C and North Carolina
Administrative Code 15A 2H. 0217 (d).
Based on Mr. Johnson's observations, the vegetative growth on the
embankment of the storage ponds was excessive. Briars and small shrubs covered
the embankments making an inspection of the structures impossible. In addition,
pump markers were not observed in the "middle" and "lower" storage ponds. The
vegetated overgrowth creates a habitat for groundhogs and other animals that may
impair the integrity of the storage ponds' dams. It is suggested that you contact your
technical specialist for assistance.
It was also noted that waste removal records were not available. Even though
a third party pumps and hauls waste from the ponds, a record of the amount and date
of the removal must be recorded. This was noted in the May 1999 inspection report.
Also, a waste analysis must be performed on the waste being removed. Be aware
that even though the facility is not at full animal capacity, approximately five (5)
millions gallons of rainwater are collected annually by the storage ponds. Please
forward a copy of the 1999/2000 waste application records along with the proper ,
waste analyses to Mr. Johnson.

Stephens Dairy, Facility #: 49-76
Iredell County, NC
Dear Mr. Stephens:
Mr. Alan Johnson of this Office visited your facility on May 2, 2000 to
determine if the dairy was still in operation. While attempting to verify the number
of animals at the facility, Mr. Johnson observed that the storage pond behind the
main freestall and the irrigation pond at the rear of the facility did not have adequate
freeboard levels. He noted that waste had recently discharged through the emergency
spillway of the irrigation pond and waste was still evident in the spillway. In the
storage pond behind the freestall, the pump marker could not be seen due to the high
water level. Failing to properly maintain the required freeboard in a waste storage
pond is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.10C and North
Carolina Administrative Code 15A 2H. 0217 (d).
The waste storage ponds must be pumped immediately and the waste level
lowered (at a minimum) to a point below the 25-yr./24-hr. storm event pump level. It
is requested that a written response be submitted to this Office by May 17, 2000
indicating when the waste level was lowered below the 25-yr./24-hr. storm event
level required by your farm plan. Also, include the tracts and fields receiving the
waste. Please address this information to the attention of Mr. Johnson.

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. 1RR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, 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
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571.

Subject: Notice of Violation
Animal Operation Site Inspection
NCGS 143-215.1
Sunrise Dairy, Facility #: 49-76
Iredell County, NC
Dear Mr. Stephens:
Mr. Alan Johnson of this Office conducted a site inspection at your facility on
May 25, 1999. This Notice of Violation is being issued due to following problems:
• Failure to have a designated certified operator for the facility.
• Failure to have waste application records, waste analysis or soil analysis available
for review.
• Failure to have a visible pumping marker in the irrigation pond.
The problems noted above are a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1
and North Carolina Administrative Code 15A NCAC 2H.0217 (d).
Until such time that you can be recertified, you must immediately designate a
temporary certified operator for the facility. Also, a record must be kept for any
waste being removed from the storage ponds, regardless if the waste is applied to
fields listed in the farm plan or applied by a third party to another farm. Finally, a
pumping marker similar to the ones used in the other storage ponds is suggested.
It is requested that a written response be submitted to this office by June 21, 1999
indicating the actions taken to correct the noted problem. It is requested that you
address this information to the attention of Mr. Johnson.
Also, 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 items below must be available for review during the inspection.
• Certification forms.
• Site Diagram: Fencing, streams, buffer zones, and feed areas must be shown.
• Waste Application records with accompanying waste analysis.

• Maps of acreage and irrigated fields.
• Waste Utilization plan: Tract/field number, usabletwettable 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 [phone].

Dear Mrs. Campbell,
On March 6, 1998 John Stevenson and myself met with you,
Felix Campbell and Keith Stephens to review the NC
Agricultural Cost Share Contract (49-97-04-16). This is the
cost share contract that was developed for Sunrise Dairy
Farm to assist with the implementation of 0200 water quality
laws and requirements.
With the contract there was a plan developed that described
the management of existing practices and also practices
needing•to be implemented. You should have copies of these
plans to assist you with details and to assist Keith
Stephens if he becomes the operator in charge. Please review
this process with Mr. Allen Johnson, Division of Water
Quality.
The contract had originally estimated the cost share funding
to be $64,562.00. This estimate is.based on 75% (seventy-
five percent) of the actual average cost. Cost share work
completed to date totals $40,761.00 and this amount has been
paid to you by the State of NC. Work that remains includes
installing an irrigation system, pouring concrete lanes with
curbs to direct polluted runoff into existing waste storage
ponds and finally establishing grass filters and waterways.
The remaining work has cost share funding estimated to be
$39,831.00.
However state policy will not allow the irrigation cost
share to exceed $25,000.00. You will need to determine the
total cost of this installation after the design is
completed from contractors. If this total exceeds
$33,333.00 your cost share reimbursement will be $25,000.00.

page 2
We are making a request for an additional $1.6,030 to the
Division of Soil and Water. When approved and received we
will be able to revise your contract. However, until you
receive this approval the contract amount cannot be
increased.
Sincerely,
Larry Hendrix

WORK THAT REMAINS TO BE COMPLETED TO FINISH WASTE
MANAGEMENT PLAN INCLUDES INSTALLING AN IRRIGATION
SYSTEM, POURING CONCRETE LANES WITH CURBS TO DIRECT
POLLUTED RUNOFF INTO EXISTING WATER STORAGE PONDS
AND FINALLY ESTABLISHING GRASS FILTERS AND
WATERWAYS.
WE WILL NEED TO DO AN APPROXIMATE TOTAL OF 660 FEET OF
STREAM EXCLUSION, THE ESTIMATED COST IS $2000.00.
WE ALSO PLAN TO BUILD ANOTHER CONCRETE SCRAPE LANE
FROM FEEDING LOT TO MILK BARN HOLDING PEN. WE
ANTICIPATE THIS EXPENDITURE COSTING AROUND $8000.00, WE
DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH OF THIS MAY BE FUNDED BY COST
SHARING.
AT POND #2, WE PLAN TO BUILD A NEW PUSH OFF RAMP - THE
COST ESTIMATE FOR THIS RAMP IS $2000.00
ON LAGOON #3, WE WILL BE INSTALLING A CONCRETE CURB
AND CHUTE, AS WELL AS A GRASS WATERWAY DIVERSION
AROUND THE RIGHT SIDE. THE COST SHARING ESTIMATE FOR.
THIS IS $3398.00 - WE ANTICIPATE SPENDING THAT OR MORE OF
OUR FUNDS. THE GRASS WATERWAY DIVERSION ON LAGOON
#3 WILL REQUIRE FENCING. THE COST SHARE ESTIMATE FOR
THIS FENCING IS $1463.00,. OUR COST $1800.00.
WE HAVE INCLUDED AN ESTIMATE FROM GRA -MAC
DISTRIBUTING COMPANY FOR THE INSTALLATION OF
IRRIGATION SYSTEM.
WE HOPE TO HAVE THIS WORK COMPLETED AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE. OUR ONLY EXISITING DELAYS ARE WEATHER AND
GRA -MAC'S AVAILABILITY.

In accordance with State Regulations (15A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1)(E)) adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission on February 1, 1993, the owner of the subject facility was required to submit a
Certification Form for the facility's animal waste management system by December 31, 1997.
This letter is to advise you that this office has no record of having received the required Certification for
the subject facility. Please provide this office with an explanation as to why this Certification was not
submitted as required. This explanation must be received within 30 days following the receipt of this letter.
Any existing facility owner which did not submit the required certification by the deadline is no longer
deemed permitted to operate their animal waste management system. Therefore, if the certification was not
submitted as required and the facility is still in operation, this facility is being operated without a valid
permit. N.C.G.S. 143-215.6(b) allows the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources to take appropriate enforcement actions for this violation for as long as the violation continues.
As per Senate Bill 1217, which was ratified on June 21, 1996, the Environmental Management
Commission (EMC) may enter into a special agreement with facilities that did not meet the December 31,
1997 deadline. These special agreements can only be issued to facility owners which signed up for assistance
with their local Soil and Water Conservation District Office by September 1, 1996 and which can
demonstrate that they made a good faith effort to meet the December 31, 1997 deadline. The special
agreement, if issued, would contain a specific schedule for the facility to follow to develop and/or implement
an approved animal waste management plan. Attached is an application for a special agreement between the
EMC and the subject facility. If you can demonstrate that this facility can meet the conditions for a special
agreement, you may send this request along with your explanation as to why the plan has not been developed
and implemented. This request would also be due within 30 days from receipt of this letter.

Also attached is a form (Form RR 2198) that must be filled out if the facility is no longer in operation or is
below the threshold established inl5A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1)(A). Facilities which maintain the number of animals
below certain thresholds are not required to be certified. These thresholds are:
100 head of cattle
75 horses
250 swine
1000 sheep
30,000 birds with a liquid system
Please submil flus form if the subject facility is not operating or is below the threshold limit established in 15A

Once your response is received, it will be evaluated in detail along with any supporting information that
you may wish to submit. Following this review, you will be advised of the results of the review and of any
additional actions that must be taken to brine your facility into compliance.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with the requirement to develop and implement a certified animal waste
management plan by December 31, 1997. Please also be advised that the submittal of a request for a special
agreement does not assure that one will be issued. Each facility will be reviewed on a case by case basis and
appropriate actions will be taken to bring each facility into compliance.

SUBJECT: Operation Review Notice of Referral
Campbell Dairy
Facility No. 49-76
Iredell County
Dear Mr. Campbell
On July 7, an Operation Review was conducted of Campbell Dairy, facility no. 49-76. This Review,
undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-215.1OD, 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 observed that the two existing waste ponds did not have adequate storage
capacity as required by regulation. Since failure to maintain adequate storage is a violation of water quality
regulations, 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. It was also noted that the ponds lacked pumping markers
that need to be installed as part of the certification process.
As discussed during the Review, it is imperative that these ponds be pumped down 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 cannot 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 livestock 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.

Inspection Report
Campbell's Dairy Farm, Facility #: 49-76
Iredell County, NC
Enclosed is a copy of the site inspection report for the inspection conducted on February 12, 1997 by
Mr. Alan Johnson of this Office. The report should be self-explanatory. If problems or deficiencies are
indicated in the report, please take the necessary action to address the problems as soon as possible.
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 violation of state environmental laws and regulations.
The large lagoon needs to be pumped soon. The waste has reached the crest of the emergency spillway.
State regulations require enough volume in the lagoon to handle a 25 -yr, 24 -hr rain event (7 - 8 in.). You
also need to continue working with the your local Soil and Water Conservation District to obtain a certified
farm plan.
Any further correspondence related to the subject inspection.will be sent under separate cover. If you

In cooperation with the Iredell Soil and Water Conservation District, I am designing a storage pond to
capture the run off from the C. A. Campbell Dairy. I will complete the design by the end of this week and
give it to the Iredell SWCD to present to W. Campbell. If Mr. Campbell if satisfied with the design, I
will submit it to the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service engineer for approval. When the
design has been approved, Mr. Campbell can begin construction. The Iredell SWCD and I will provide
technical assistance to Mr. Campbell to assure quality construction. I welcome your suggestions and

Campbell Dairy, Facility #: 49-76
IredeIl County, NC
As of January 1, 1998 all facilities must have a certified Operator -In -Charge. A review of
the database does not show this to be the case for your facility. Failure to have a Certified Operator -
in -Charge is a violation of NCGS 90A-47.2.
If you or the designated operator for the facility have not taken and passed the required exam,
an interim certified operator should be obtained. If you have already taken the exam, you may want
to contact Ms. Cindy Dudley of the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification
Commision (WPCSOCC) at 919-733-0026.
If you have any questions concerning this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Alan

Subject: Certification/Notice of Violations
Campbell Dairy, Facility #: 49-76
Iredell County, NC
The deadline for the certified waste management plan to be implemented is December 31, 1997,
and there will be no extension of the deadline. 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 be 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.

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.
If you have any questions concerning this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Alan Johnson or me

MOORESVItLE REGMAL OFFICE
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.

be in violation of your 211 .0217 Permit.
On July 26, 1995, staff from the Mooresville Regional Office of the Division of Environmental
Management inspected the subject facility. Runoff from the facility's concrete pads was observed
flowing into gullies and directly into a creek.
In accordance with the requirements of NCAC 2H.0213, you are hereby given notice that sixty
(60) days following your receipt of this letter, the Division of Environmental Management intends
to revoke your permit unless the following conditions are completed:
1. Immediately eliminate the discharge of wastewater or correct the violation.
2. Make any modif cations needed to ensure there will he no future discharges.
3. Submit an approved animal waste management plan and have the attached certification form
completed. One copy of the plan must be sent to your local Soil and Water Conservation
District. The certification form and two (2) copies of your plan must be returned to the address
below:
Division of Environmental Management
Water Quality Section Operations Branch
P.O. Box 29535

An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper

Failure to comply with the above conditions will result in permit revocation and therefore, the
existing animal waste management system serving your animal operation will be in operation
without a permit as required by North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1.
Your approved animal waste management plan must explain how you will collect, store, treat and
land apply your animal waste in an environmentally acceptable manner. To assist you in the
development of this plan and to provide the required certification that the plan is acceptable, you
should contact your local agricultural agencies such as the Soil and Water Conservation District,
the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service, the North Carolina Cooperative Extension
Service or a technical specialist designated pursuant to the rules adapted by the Soil and Water
Conservation Commission.
If we have not received the requested animal waste management plan and certification within 60
days of receipt of this letter or if there are additional discharges to the surface water a civil penalty
of up to $10,000 may be assessed and you may be required to apply for an individual
nondischarge permit from the Division. This permit, if issued, will contain monitoring and
reporting requirements determined to be necessary by the Division.
Although we will snake every effort to work with you in correcting the problems found at your
facility, please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as preventing the Division from
taking appropiate enforcement actions for either these violations or other past or future violations.
If you have any questions concerning this matter please do not hesitate to contact either Rex
Gleason, Water Quality Regional Supervisor for our Mooresville Regional Office at (704) 663-
1699 or Mr. Shannon Langley at (919).733-5083, ext. 581.

This letter is in reference to my visit on your farm ori
12/14/95 . As you know this visit was in response to a
Notice of Violation (NOV) issued to you on 11/28/95.
While on your farm you and I discussed constructing a animal
waste storage pond for the area that you received a NOV on.
I plan to be on your farm on 12/27/95 to begin the survey
and design for this structure. To prevent this structure
from being so large we will divert as much noncontaminated
water as possible out of the natural drain. We plan to
outlet this water along grass buffers and the contaminated
water will be piped into the pond through a drop box. All
animal waste will be scraped into the pond. Your situation
has been granted top priority and the design will be
completed as soon possible.
A copy of this letter will be sent to Mr. Rex. Gleason in the
Mooresville regional office of DEHNR. If you have questions
please feel free to call me at the phone number listed
above.
W'hing y u a Merry Christmas,

Campbell Dairy
Iredell County, NC
Animal Operations in the State have been deemed permitted by the Division of
Environmental Management in accordance with Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative
Code, 211, Rule ,0217. An individual nondischarge permit is not required if certain criteria are
met. A major requirement to be deemed permitted is that there must not be a discharge of MX
wastewater from the operation to the waters of the State.
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and notification that your animal operation has
been found discharging wastewater to the surface waters of the State and is, therefore, no longer
deemed permitted as a nondischarge facility under 15A NCAC 2H.0217. Therefore, the existing
wastewater treatment system serving your animal operation is currently being operated without a
permit as required by North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1.
If you wish to be reconsidered for coverage by the deemed permitted provision of the
Rule, you must: 1) immediately eliminate the discharge of wastewater; 2) make any modifications
needed to ensure there will be no future discharges; and 3) send in an approved animal waste
management plan by completing the attached certification form. This form and a copy of your
plan must be returned to:
Water Quality Section Planning Branch
Post Office Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535

Your approved animal waste management plan must explain how you will collect, store,
treat and land apply your animal waste to the land in an environmentally acceptable manner. To
assist you in the development of this plan and to provide the required certification' that the plan is
acceptable, you should contact your local agricultural agencies such as the Soil and Water
Conservation District, the USDA Soil Conservation Service, or the North Carolina Cooperative
Extension Service.
If we have not received the requested certification within 60 days of receipt of this letter
or if there are additional discharges to the surface water, a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day
may be assessed and you may be required to apply for an individual nondischarge permit from the
Division. This permit, if issued, will contain monitoring and reporting requirements determined to
be necessary by the Division.
