2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed
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

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 -282.1(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.

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. Failure to properly maintain records may increase
the contamination of 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 of noncompliance:
A previous review of the facility's records in October 2998 showed that waste application
records and soil and waste analyses were not being maintained. During the inspection on July
29, 1999 no records were made available to the MRO staff for review.
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. Cranfill did not have the time to properly maintain the records, monies may have been
saved by not employing staff to properly manage the records for him.

As required by G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have considered the
factors listed in G.S.143B-282.1(b), which are:
(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;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violations;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity. or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(G) Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs
over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority;
and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
(Date) Kerr T. Stevens, Director
Division of Water Quality

Dear William Perry Cranfill:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your request that your facility no longer be registered as an animal waste
management system per the terms of 15A NCAC 2H .02I7. 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
Poultg 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

WATER QUALITY:
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission on Agricultural
1Vaste, 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 I, 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.

Subject: Notice of Deficiency
DWQ Animal Operation Inspection
Cranfill Dairy, Facility #: 49-92
Iredell County, NC
Dear Mr. Cranfill:
Mr. Alan Johnson of this Office conducted an inspection of your facility on
October 9, 2000. This letter is being issued as a Notice of Deficiency for failing to
have the waste analysis conducted within 60 days of the waste application date. If
the animal waste cannot be sent via the US Postal Service, then other means need to
be found to meet the deadline. You may want to speak with Messrs. Ralston James
or Rocky Durham with the Division of Soil and Water or with a representative of the
Agricultural Extension Service for assistance.
Based on Mr. Johnson's observations during the inspection, the facility
appeared to be well operated and maintained; and the files were complete. In
reviewing the files it was noted that the information used in completing the waste
application forms was not based on the information in the waste utilization plan
(WUP). In the future the information regarding the field, waste application rates,
and field size must come from the WUP.
Please be reminded that the following items must be available for'review by
the inspector during an inspection:
• Certification forms.
• Site diagram, which shows fencing, streams, buffer zones, and feed areas.
• Waste application records, with accompanying waste analyses.
• Maps of acreage and irrigated fields.
• Waste utilization plan, 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 information. Must have three years of data.
It is suggested that this be maintained in a single folder.
• Emergency action plan which 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.

Subject: DWQ Animal Operation
Facility #: 49-92
It has come to our attention that you and your brother have assumed
management of the Cranfill Dairy, facility 49-92. Because it is not clear as to whom
the responsible party in control and management of the operation is, information has
been enclosed for you to review.
If there has been a change in ownership, designated certified operator, or a
reduction in the number of animals the following forms are enclosed:
Notification of Change of Ownership: This is the official notification to the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) of the transfer of ownership of an animal
waste management facility. If you are a "lessee", this form does not need to be
completed. However, DWQ does need to be notified by letter or telephone that
the facility is under new management.
• Operator In Charge Designation: Asa facility meeting the requirements of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.10A (farming activity involving 100 or more
confined cattle), the facility is required to designate an operator who has been
certified for Type B animal operations (cattle).
Request For Removal of Registration: You may request that the facility be
removed from the "active" inspection list if you maintain less than 100 confined
animals. Should the request be made a representative from DWQ or the Division
of Soil and Water (DSW) will visit the farm and verify the animal population and
approve the removal of the facility from the register.

• Certification forms.
• Site diagram, which shows fencing, streams, buffer zones, and feed areas.
• Waste application records, with accompanying waste analyses.
• Maps of acreage and irrigated fields.
• Waste utilization plan, 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 information. Must have three years of data.
It is suggested that this be maintained in a single folder.
• Emergency action plan which 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.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 49-92
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. IRR1, IRR2, DRYI, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, 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 [phone] ext. 571.

ENFORCEMENT CASE ASSESSMENT FACTORS
Violator: Mr. Perry Cranfill
Address: 258 Cranfill Rd.
Harmony, NC
iredell County
Responsible Parry: Mr. Perry Cranfill
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. Failure to properly maintain records may increase
the contamination of 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 of noncompliance:
A previous review of the facility's records in October 1998 showed that waste application
records and soil and waste analyses were not being maintained. During the inspection on July
29, 1999 no records were made available to the MRO staff for review.
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. Cranfill did not have the time to properly maintain the records, monies may have been
saved by not employing staff to properly manage the records for him.

Subject: Site Inspection
Cranfill Dairy, Facility #: 49-92
Iredell County, NC
Dear Mr. Cranfill:
Mr. Alan 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 fieids..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
unpermitted 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.

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 fN} 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.

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 internet. 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 Iagoon/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 farmers 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.
If you have questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr.. Johnson
or me at [phone].

Dear Mr. Cranfill:
Mr. Alan Johnson of this Office conducted a site inspection of your facility on
October 13, 1998. In general the facility was observed to be in good shape.
A review of your records indicated that your waste analysis and soil test results
were missing. In your files you should have a copy of your waste analysis and soil test
results. Because your concrete storage basin has a three month storage capacity, a
minimum of four waste samples each year is required. Your milk parlor storage pond
requires a minimum of two waste samples to be taken each year.
It is requested that a completed copy of your waste application records be
submitted to this Office by November 15, 1998. Please send the information to the
attention of Mr. Johnson. The record should be for your most recent waste applications
(up to Nov. 15) and for the waste applications previously recorded. Please use the
October 1998 waste analysis for the nitrogen content of the manure.

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.

ASSESSMENT OF CIVIL PENALTIES
Animal Waste Management System Registration
As Per 15A NCAC 2H .0217 (c)
Facility #: 49-092
Iredell County
Case No.: RL 97-003
This letter transmits a civil penalty assessed against William Perry Cranfill for failure to
register an animal feedlot operation in compliance with Title 15A of the North Carolina
Administrative Code, Chapter 2, Subchapter 2H, Section .0217 (c).
This assessment is based on the following facts: While the Registration Form for Animal
Feedlot Operation has been submitted, it was not received prior to the December 31, 1993
deadline. I conclude William Perry Cranfill violated or failed to act in accordance with the
requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0217 (c). Therefore, I hereby assess William Perry Cranfill a
$200.00 civil penalty for this violation pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A (h).
In reaching this decision to assess only $200.00, I have taken into consideration that the
registration form, while late, was voluntarily submitted. If you had been found operating without
being properly registered, a civil penalty of up to $10,000.00 could have been assessed.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must choose one of the three following
options concerning the civil penalty assessment:
P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 Telephone [phone] Fax [phone]
An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper

Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to 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).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Mr. Steve W. Tedder
Water Quality Section Chief
Division of Water Quality
P.O. Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
or
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed
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 -282.1(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.
Please submit this information to the attention of:
Mr. Steve W. Tedder
Water Quality Section ChiefIDWQ
P.O. Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
OR
3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any portion of the civil penalty assessment, you must
request an administrative hearing. This request must be in the form of a written

petition to the Office of Administrative Hearings and must conform to Chapter
150B of the North Carolina General Statutes. You must:
File your original petition with the:
Office of Administrative Hearings
P.O. Drawer 27447

and
Mail or hand -deliver a Copy of the petition to:
Mr. Richard Whisnant

NCDENR
Post Office Box 27687
Raleigh, NC 27611
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty days, as evidenced by a date
stamp (not a postmark) indicating when we received your response, will result in this matter
being referred to the Attorney General's Office with a request to initiate a civil action to collect
the penalty. Please be advised that additional assessments may be levied for future violations
which occur after the review period of this assessment.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Shannon Langley at [phone],

Subject: Animal Facility State Register
15H NCAC 2H .0200
Iredell County, NC
A previous letter was sent on July 9, 1997 concerning the omission of your facility from the
state database for those animal operations which are above the threshold limit of 100 cows. The forms
have not been recieved by Raleigh, therefore two more forms are enclosed for you to fill out. One is
to place your facility on the state register, the second is to designate a certified operator. The address
is located at the bottom of the Operator in Charge form. To register your facility send the form to Sue
Homewood and to designate an operator, Cindy Dudley should be notified. Please be advised, that
because of the late registration(s), a fine could be assessed. Please fill out and return as soon as
possible.
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 report, please do not hesitate to contact Mr.
Johnson or me at [phone].
Sincerely,
D. Rex Gleason, P. E.
