REG. OFFICE
M. G. Smith has requested that I correspond with you concerning the deregistration of his cattle
operation (Facility No. 26-32).
Mr. Smith buys and sells approximately 300 caws per year. He grazes these animals on fescue -clover
pastures until time for transportation to market. At that time he moves the cattle to a holding pen area
and keeps the cows there for two to three days while they are waiting for the trucks to come to
transport the cattle to the mid -west. This operation is not a feeding floor or confined operation that
requires registration under the 0200 regulations.
It is requested that Mr. M. G. Smith, Facility Number 26-32, be removed from the registration list.
In the past Mr. Smith did concentrate animals at the loading area and this area needs to have some work
completed to enhance the grass cover that is there. My office will be working with Mr. Smith to
improve this area.
If 1 can provide you with more information, please call.

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, 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 he 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.

Feedlot'Operatioti (Cattle)
Route 1, Box 496
Fayetteville,- NC'
Cumberland County
On January 20, 1977.the writer and Mr.' Mile Mauney, Cumberland County'
Agriculture Eatensipn Agent, .visited the proposed site of Mr. Gilbert Smith's
cattle'fe"edlot operation: We were accompanied by Mr. Smith mho.deacribed the'
various aspects of his plan.
This operation, foi.'raisifig slaughter cattle, will have a.maximum of,
..,-.approximately 300 head of cattle.on it at one time. This operation,is to -be
an open lot or.free range type set-up with provisions f6i rotating cattle.to
different parts of the farm.
The primary section of land to be used consists of approximately 12 acres
of relatively flat land.,made,up mostly of a, deep, sandy material: There we're
' '.'acme drainage ditches which bordered or passed through various parts of the
area, but no forseeable`problems are expected to be caused due'to their
presence. Mr. Smith'•indicated that he planned to construct 'a feeding trough
in ihe.middle of'the area,'and,a watering trough close to the feedling area.
Although the Cape Fear River•bordere the proposed area, Mr. Smith plans to
retain- a buffer ,xbne of forest between the feeditig area and the river. This
buffer sans will be accessible to the cattle, but this rone'is approximately
30, yards.wide,at its narrowest point and widenoD to several hundred yards -'at
other, locations .."There is not -expected to be any runoff from'the feeding
trough area,.directly into the river because the -land slopes away from the.;
4•jiver.`'The •,,majority of the rainfall would'be absorbed into•the deep Ganda
of that area'and,any additional runoff would travel doom several thousand feet
of drainage:ditcher-before`reaaching the river.
Since these facilities Have less than 1000 animal units.; -.,there are no,
man-made ditches -pox streams which carry waste to the river; tend_'j ince the area
elopes away -from the river, and- is made'up of deep eatids', it is the ,wririter's
recommendation that this -facility need not apply for•an;NPDES permit. `
Mr. Smith's availability of land for rotating grazing-aieae,iiiII also help.to.
minimiie.) runoff,problema. ' +

Bear Mr. Smiths .
In response to -your application for a NODES Permit, Mr. Mike Hauney,
Cumberland County Agriculture Extension Agent, -and Mr. H. J.-Noland, Environ--
mental'Enginser with our South Central Field Office, inspected your proposed
cattle feedlot operation on January'20, 1977.
-Our inspection showed that the waste from approximately,three hundred
slaughter cattle (to be grated au 12 acree,of land)..ahould.not cause any
noticeable water quality problems in the nearby Cape Pear River. Runoff pro-
blems from the area will be minimized by the wooded.buffer zone and the deep
rand configuration of the grazing area which,•elopas array from. the river.'
With -these considerations in mind, it his been determined by,our staff
that a NODES.Permit for your operation will not be required. Thio'boing.the
case, we are -hereby returning your application for Permit.
