The information you provided us indicated that your operation's animal population does not exceed the number set forth by 15A NCAC 2H .0217, and therefore does not require registration for a certified animal waste management plan. Under 15A NCAC 2H .0217, your facility is deemed permitted if waste is properly managed and does not reach the surface waters of the state. Any system determined to have an adverse impact on water quality may be required to obtain a waste management plan or an individual permit. You are reminded that a discharge of wastes to the surface waters of the state will subject you to a civil penalty up to $10,000 per day. Should you decide to increase the number of animals housed at your facility beyond the threshold limits listed below, you will be required to obtain a certified animal waste management plan and contact the Division of Water Quality prior to stocking animals. Threshold numbers of animals that require certified animal waste management plans are as follows: Swine 250 Confined Cattle 100 Horses 75 Sheep 1,000 Pouln with a li uid wastes tem 30,000 If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sue Homewood of our staff at (919) 733-5083 ext 502. rvm cc-Md6resville_Water-Quality.Regionai:0ffice- Iredell Soil and Water Conservation District Facility File Sincerely, A.

This letter is to advise you that this office has no record of having received the required Certification fo; 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. Thesespecial 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. P.O.

ZWBIT iltl Qg4aYw gl Subject: Classification of Animal Waste Management Systems Facility: Still Meadow Dairy Facility ID #: 49-87 County: Iredell 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 (OIC) 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 available for animal waste management system operators. For information on the training programs please contact your local Cooperative Extension Agent. Operator certifications are issued by the Water Pollution Control Systems Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC). For information on the certification process, please contact the Technical Assistance and Certification Unit at (919) 733-0026. The type of training and certification required for the operator of each system is based on the nature of the wastes to be treated and the treatment process(es) primarily used to treat the animal waste. There are two types of animal waste management systems, type A and type B. Type A animal waste management systems are generally used to treat waste generated by monogastric animals which produce a low -fiber waste. Type B animal waste management systems are generally used to treat waste generated by ruminants and other animals which produce a high -fiber waste. The type of training and certification an operator receives should correspond with the type of system(s) they intend to operate. For more information on the classification of your system please contact the Technical Assistance and Certification Unit. 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 possess a currently valid certificate of the appropriate type. Sincerely, L4W.t•)4� Joseph B.

Enclosed with that letter was an Operator in Charge Designation Form specifically for your facility, Instructions for Completing Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator, and an Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator. Our records indicate that these completed Forms have not yet been returned to our office. As was explained in the previous letter, a training and certification program is not yet available for animal waste management systems involving cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry (with a liquid waste system). Therefore owners of these systems were allowed to request that they be issued temporary certifications until December 31, 1997. All that was required to receive this temporary certification was the completion of the Application Form. For you convenience, we are sending you additional copies of the Operator in Charge Designation Form specifically for your facility, Instructions for Completing Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator, and an Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator. Please return this completed Form to this office as soon as possible but in no case later than April 25, 1997. This office maintains a list of certified operators in your area if you need assistance in locating a certified operator. Please note that failure to designate an Operator in Charge of your animal waste management system, is a violation of N.C.G.S. 90A-47.2 and you will be assessed a civil penalty unless an appropriately certified operator is designated. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as absolving you of the responsibility and liability for any past or future violations for your failure to designate an appropriate Operator in Charge by January 1, 1997. If you have questions concerning this matter, please contact our Technical Assistance and Certification Group at (919)733-0026. Sincerely, for Steve W.

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. 919 North Main Street, N1K ;6 FAX 704-663-6040 Mooresville, North Carolina 28115 �� An Equal opportunitytAf iirmative Action Employer voice 704-663-1699 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper t. 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 at (704) 663-1699. cc: Iredell SWCD Facility Assessment Unit Regional Coordinator AJ Sincerely, D. ex""ef . -1-"ona, SupervisorWater Quali egi State of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources James B.

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 9191733-0026. Sincerely, FOR Steve W.
