Dear Mr. Barbee,
On Monday March 24, 2008 I met with you at your farm to discuss the closure of the existing
Waste Storage Pond. Attached are the approved plans for completing this closure. The fields
where the waste is to be applied have been staked as you requested for strip cropping. Each
alternating strip will be planted to permanent perennial vegetation including clover and or fescue.
The next strip will be planted to annual crops. As you indicated most of the spreading had been
completed and you would finish the spreading prior to beginning the closure.
Attached is a form that you will need to have completed and submitted to Mr. James Beale with
the Division of Water Quality. The form is called (Animal Waste Storage Pond Closure Report
Form) Please call him at 704-663-1699 and let him know when you are planning to start
grading.
This letter officially notifies you that closure plan has been approved. Please apply the waste
according to the plan, notify Division of Water Quality and do not put anything in the waste
storage pond except clay material from the existing dam or other approved fill material. Please
call me when the grading on the waste storage pond closure begins. Our number is 704-637-
1604 x3. After grading I will need to measure and determine the area to be seeded.
I look forward to assisting with this closure and when completed successfully notifying the
Division of Water Quality so that it can be removed from their inventory of abandoned ponds.

Dear Mr. Barbee,
On Tuesday September 11, 2007 I met with you per your request and discussed the closure of the
existing Waste Storage Pond. During the discussion we noted that you had begun to remove the
sludge but the dam has not been disturbed. The removed sludge is being stockpiled in a field and
is ready to be spread as soon as a soil test and nutrient management plan can be completed.
We also discussed that a second waste storage pond on this farm has previously been closed but
is still on the NCDENR list of inactive animal waste lagoons. Our office has not provided you
with a plan for this closure. With your permission I did call James Beale, with the Division of
Water Quality and he sent the attached email discussing this pond removal. He seems to agree
with our suggestion to assist you with the closure of the existing waste storage pond. However,
the pond closed previously may require additional work.
Therefore, I have attached a copy of the EQIP application for you to sign and request our
assistance and ranking for EQIP funding. When received I will evaluate and notify you when
approval has been given. In order to qualify for the EQIP funding no further work should be
completed on the sludge removal and pond closure. When approved I will notify you and begin
the closure plan for this contract. Please understand that this application is for closure of the
remaining waste storage pond and if completed according to the specifications provided I will be
able to certify to the Division of Water Quality that it has been removed properly. Please contact
the DWQ at 704-663-1699 if you have questions about the previously closed waste storage pond.
I look forward to receiving the request for EQIP funding and working with you on this project.

Lee/Larry,
As per discussion, Alan and the MRO files have verified that two (2) Storage Ponds were inspected on
the property from 1995 to 1997. We have been unable to locate any closure information for the one that
currently no longer exists on the property. This pond likely was not properly closed according to NRCS
standards, and therefore should be clearly identified as such.
Larry's suggestion to work toward closure on -the remaining pond sounds good, however it appears that
additional work will be required on the improper closure to meet the standards. Larry stated that this
may be considered to be a separate project in the future.
Please contact me should you require any additional information.

We are working with Frank Barbee to close and inactive lagoon on his
former dairy operation (first visit was today). He only has one lagoon
on the farm but the DWQ inactive list has 2 lagoons.
According to Mr Barbee the 2nd lagoon was closed in 98 or 99 and Allen
Johnson had inspected it. Can you check his folder & let me know the
status of things at the Barbee Farm?
We want to make sure we have all our bases covered before developing a

This is to acknowledge receipt of your request that your facility no longer be registered as an active animal
waste management system per the terms of 15A NCAC 2H.0217. 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 prior to stocking animals to that level.
Threshold numbers of animals that require certified animal waste management pians are as follows:
Swine
250
Confined Cattle
100
Horses
75
Sheep
1,000
Poul with a liquid waste system

Subject: Operator In Charge Designation REMRAI OFFICE
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission
on Agricultural Waste, was ratified by the North Carolina General Assembly on June 21, 1996.
This bill required that a properly certified operator be designated as the Operator in Charge 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.
The deadline for designating an Operator in Charge for animal waste management systems
involving cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry was January 1, 1997. Because a training and
certification program was not yet available for these systems, you were allowed to apply for and
were issued a temporary animal waste management certificate from the Water Pollution Control
System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC). Because you applied for and were
issued a temporary certificate, you were allowed to be designated as the Operator in Charge of an
animal waste management system.
Your temporary certificate expires December 31, 1997, and is not renewable. Our records indicate
that you have not obtained, a permanent animal waste management system operator certification. If
you Intend to remain the Operator in Charge of the facility for which you were designated, you must
obtain a permanent animal waste management system operator certification of the appropriate type
before your temporary certification expires on December 31, 1997. To obtain a permanent
certification, you must be 18 years of age, complete ten hours of approved training, and pass an
examination. If you do not intend to remain the Operator in Charge, a properly certified animal
waste management system operator must be designated as Operator in Charge of the facility prior to
the expiration of your temporary certification.
This year's final training program for both Type A and Type B animal waste management systems
is scheduled for December 10 and 11, 1997, at the Hunt Horse Complex in Raleigh. If you would
like information about this training program, please contact your local cooperative extension agent
or call Dee Ann Cooper at 9191515-6968. For those enrolled in this training and registering with
Ms. Cooper prior to December 1, an exam will be offered at the Hunt Horse Complex on December
11, beginning at 1:00 pm.

Subject: Certification/Notice of Violations
Barbee Dairy, Facility #: 80-21
Rowan County, NC
Dear Mr. Barbee:
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].

Rowan County MgUESWE REf IOMAL 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 OTC.
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.
Sincerely,
1gz0's —A , , �'�
