Dear Mr. Bond: .
It came to my attention while reviewing last year's operation review by Mr. Barber
that you were down to 40 cows. I drove by your facility on Tuesday, May 19, 1998 and
that appeared to still be the case. Your facility is still on the register to be inspected. If
you wish to be removed from the state register please complete the enclosed Request for
Removal form and return to my attention: Alan Johnson, Water Quality, 919 N.
Mainstreet, Mooresville, NC 28115, if not, I will contact you at a later date to perform an
inspection.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact
me at [phone].

Cherub Jersey Farm, Facility #: 55-8

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.

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 [phone].

Inspection Report
Cherub Jersey Farm, Facility #: 55-8
Lincoln County, NC
Mr. Alan Johnson of this Office conducted a site inspection June 4, 1997. The facility was generally in
good shape. As discussed with Mr. Johnson the dry stack area needs to be improved. Also, because your facility
is certified, you should be keeping records of your waste applications and soil/waste analysis. At a minimum,
the records should include the following:
Certification fortes
Site schematic
Waste application records
Maps of acreage and irrigated fields
Waste management plan (if applicable)
The waste utilization plan is a component of the waste management plan
Soil & waste analysis records
Depending on the time of certification, other information may need to be included in your records. Your operator
training manual list the components which need to be addressed in the waste management plan. It is suggested
that all records be kept in a three ring notebook for ease of retrieval and inspection.
Any further correspondence related to the subject inspection will be sent under separate cover. 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 report, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Johnson or me at [phone].

Lincoln County I DORESVUE REGIOAAi 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, I997. 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.
