Inspection Report
Warren Rogers Farm, Facility #: 90-41
Union County, NC
A site inspection of your facility was conducted on September 3, 1997 by Mr. Alan Johnson
of this Office. It was noted by Mr. Johnson that the trees and shrubs on the side slopes of the lagoon
need to be cut. As discussed with Mr. Johnson, you also need to ensure that the facility meets all
setback requirements from occupied residences and property boundaries before it is put back in
operation. Also, you need to ensure there is adequate land available for the application of waste
generated by the facility.
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].

Dear Warren Rogers
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 ,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 S10,000 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
Poultry with a liquid wastes stem
30,000

This is to inform you that staff from our Mooresville Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality inspected the subject facility on August 28, 1998. It was noted during this
inspection that this facility was not in operation. Numerous attempts have been made to contact
you to determine the current status of the subject facility. These attempts have been
unsuccessful. Therefore, as per State law, the subject facility must not be repopulated above the
threshold number established by 15A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1)(A) until you have first applied for
and received a Certificate of Coverage under the Division of Water Quality's (DWQ) General
Permit for swine facilities. To operate this farm before applying for and obtaining a Certificate
of coverage would be a violation of N.C.G.S. 143-215.1 and be subject to a'civil penalty of up to
$10,000 per day for each day of operation.
Please be advised that you are also required to manage the wastewater in the subject
facility's lagoon(s) in such a way as to properly treat the wastewater and to prevent any discharge
of waste to waters of the State. Nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you
either the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with the State's environmental laws. If
you have any questions, please contact Mr. Shannon Langley at [phone], extension 581.

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.
In a letter dated February 11, 1998, received by you on February 19, 1998, this office advised you that
we had no record of having received the required Certification for the subject facility. Our letter further
requested that you provide this office with an explanation as to why this Certification was not submitted as
required. This explanation was due by March 21, 1998. To date we have received no response from you.
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 talle 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.

Subject: Classification of Animal Waste Management Systems
Facility: Warren Rogers Farm
Facility ID #: 90-41
County: Union
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 [phone]. 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.

Morris Farm, Facility rr: 90-44
Union County, NC
A site inspection of your facility was conducted on August 12, 1997 by Mr. Alan Johnson of
this Office. You need to obtain the proper farm plan pertaining to your facility. Also, the records of
waste application should include the amount of nitrogen and the volume of waste applied. You should
also discuss with Mr. Hilton Brooks whether the facilities you are leasing should be placed on the
state register in your name or remain in his name.
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
S 10,000 per day per violation as well as criminal penalties for violations of state environmental laws

Inspection Report
Brooks Farm #2, Facility #: 90-27
Union County, NC
Dear Mr. Brooks:
A site inspection of your facility was conducted on August 14, 1997 by Mr. Alan Johnson of this
Office. It was noted that sudex was planted in your application field. Your certified plan specifies that
corn, wheat, and soybeans be utilized for waste applications. If you want to use sudex, or any other crop in
the future, please contact your technical specialist to have the plan modified. It was also observed that the
vegetation on the lagoon needs to be cut.
It is this Office's understanding that the farm is setup with Randall Morris and David Brooks as
the designated operators for facilities #1 and #2, respectively. Currently however, Mr. Morris (facility #1)
is on the register as a separate operation. This needs to be corrected. With that in mind, a form is enclosed
for you to update your registration. Include both the farrow -to -feeder and the feeder -to -finish operations
on this form. Also enclosed, is a designated operator form for you to add Mr. Moms' name as the back-up
operator.
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 (704)

Subject: Certification/Notice of Violations
Warren Rogers Farm, Facility ##: 90-41
Union County, NC
Dear Mr. Rogers:
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

Dear Mr. Rogers:
You were notified by letter dated November 12, 1996, that you were required to designate a
certified animal waste management system operator as Operator in Charge for the subject facility by
January 1, 1997. Enclosed with that letter was an Operator in Charge Designation Form for your
facility. Our records indicate that this completed Form has not yet been returned to our office.
For your convenience we are sending you another Operator in Charge Designation Form for your
facility. 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 [phone].
