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 confuted 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 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. Sincerely, FOR Steve W.

Please find enclosed a copy of our Compliance Inspection Report for your information. As indicated by your son, Jerry, this dairy operation is no longer in business. Since many pasture grazed cattle operations do not meet the criteria for a concentrated animal feeding operation, we recommend that you contact the local Natural Resources Conservation Office (formerly SCS) and obtain an opinion regarding the need for continued registration of this facility. Unless cattle are typically kept in a small loafing area for feeding, it is unlikely that registration will be required. Please advise this office of the NRCS decision registration issue. If registration is not required, we will from our list of facilities. If you have questions concerning office can be of assistance, please call at (910) 486-1541.
