Observing the site, discussing your production scheme, and seeing the drawing of your proposed buildings to house the alligators, provided a better understanding of the project for all in attendance. It is our understanding that the proposed farm is for grow -out oWy and that all alligators will be returned to Florida for processing. A processing facility will be viewed differently than alligator production. Based on a summary of your alligator production farm provided by Mr. Tom Ellis, Director, Aquaculture and Natural Resources, North Carolina Department of Agriculture, the Division of Water Quality considers this facility to be Deemed_ Permitted. A Deemed Permitted facility will n-ol require issuance of an individual permit to begin alligator production under current regulations. Although your alligator farm will not be required to obtain an individual permit, it is recommended that the holding lagoon, spray acreage, and cover crop be sized and managed to meet the same minimum standards and specifications as required for an approved Animal Waste Management Plan. Also, it is highly recommended that you or a member of your staff attend the Operator Training School for Animal Waste Operators. Contact the Richmond County Agriculture Extension Office for a school date and time. The school is very informative and beneficial for your proposed endeavor. 225 Green Street, Suite 714 FAX 910-486-0707 Fayetteville, North Carolina 28301-5043 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Telephone 910-496-1541 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper ._. ... -1-- ...-a. - -- _ . , .'., .-...._, - . - .... --- ... ._w -. _ .

Ellis, 111 Director RECEIVEn SE'P 0 4 1997 FAYETTEVILLE AEG. QFFICE Thank you for meeting with us at the proposed alligator farm in Richmond county this morning. This is definitely a case where seeing the site and the plans provided a better understanding of the project for all of us. This is to be a grow -out facility only with no on site processing. Current plans are to return the harvest size alligators to Florida for processing. As we discussed, I am preparing this overview on behalf of Tommy Peacock. In order to provide you with this information, I will fax this to you and have the attachments faxed from the appropriate authorities also. The original will be mailed to Mr. Peacock for his review and possible revision. If you have any questions about the applicability of the information or its relevance to the .0200 rules, please contact Mr. Jim Cummings of NCDA at 919 733-7125. The initial stocking of alligator hatchlings at the site is planned for early October. These will be housed indoors as required in the 1997 authorizing statute, attached. The statute also requires a management plan approved by the State Veterinarian, if dead livestock or poultry are used as feed. This plan approval confirmation is to be faxed to you under a separate cover. The Wildlife Resources Commission will be considering the escape prevention issue at their September meeting, attached is a letter proposing building and fence criteria. I have also issued the Aquaculture Production License to the facility. Post Office Box 27647 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 (919) 733-7125 • FAX (919) 733-1141 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer The initial stocking is to bring 200 alligator hatchlings of approximately 4 ounces each to the farm. The waste management plan is to flush the wastes into an existing swine lagoon. The existing wastewater and the waste from the alligators will be applied as appropriate to an 18 acre field in accordance with agronomic rates and soil test results as provided by the NCDA Agronomic Services Laboratory. Due to the size of these alligators and the small amount of waste that they will produce, we,feel that this operation should be considered as deemed permitted in accordance with the .0200 rules. The future expansion of this facility is dependant upon the supply of hatchlings from other states. Mr. Peacock would like to bring an additional 2000 hatchlings onto the farm each year until a standing crop of three different age classes of alligators total 6,000. All hatchlings must be from out of state and appropriately permitted from that state. Full compliance with the Endangered Species Act and Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species is also required. No alligators are allowed to be taken from the wild in North Carolina. The ultimate number of alligators on the farm will also be determined by the treatment capacity of the existing lagoon and the agronomic application of wastewater to adjacent farmland. The production of alligators takes three years from small hatchlings to 70 lb., six foot long harvest size alligators. The' alligators will be fed ground chickens which are the mortality of two nearby poultry operations. Excess chickens will be ground and frozen into blocks for later use. The farmer wants to be in full and complete compliance with the rules of DWQ before significant poundage of alligators are allowed on the farm. His schedule is have a complete animal waste management plan by October of 1998. This is to address waste handling, storage and treatment and land application. Ben Knox of the NCDA Agronomic Services Division has offered to prepare the waste management and application portions of the plan. NRCS has been contacted regarding the engineering specifications. The following description of water use and the nutrient composition of the waste has been extrapolated by Dr. Tom Losordo of NC State University (from Pardue, J. H. Et. Al., 1994. Treatment of Alligator Farm Wastewater using Land Application. Aquacultural Engineering. Vol. 13, pages 129 - 145.). If you have any questions please contact Dr. Losordo at 919 515 7587. These computations are based on a 1000 head facility. For a large scale production facility 2 gallons of water per animal per day should be planned for use. Raw wastewater BOD5 — 452 mg/l = 7.541bs/day/1000head TSS = 379 mg/1 = 6.83 " Volatile Solids -- 219 mg/l = 3.66 " Total P = 10.9 mg/l = 0.18 " NH3 = 77.5 mg/l = 1.29 " NO3 = 4.6 mg/l = 0.077 " TKN = 153.4 mg/1 = 2.56 " I hope this information will be of assistance` to you. I look forward to hearing from you soon regarding this project. With all best wishes. Sincerely, ZThomas W.

The restrictions include provisions such as indoor production only, hatchlings must be from other states, licensing as an aquaculture operation, dead animal management if poultry or livestock are utilized as a food source as well as compliance with provisions of both the Endangered Species Act and Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission is charged with adopting guidelines related to containment including fences and buildings. Enclosed is a copy of the legislation. I predict that we will only have one alligator farm in our state due to the lack of availability of hatchlings from other states. This proposed farm in Richmond County, has complied with all conditions appropriate at this time, except for the containment guidelines which have yet to be adopted. They would like to bring alligators on site from Florida in early October. The alligator regulations in Florida and Louisiana are extensive, however the rules regarding containment simply state that the alligators must be contained. This is apparently due to the difference in the types of operations. Most of the alligator farms in these states are out of doors and utilize native animals. Any escapement would be of no environmental concern but of a financial nature to the fanner. Post Office Box 27647 Ralcigh, North Carolina 27611 (919) 733-7125 • FAX (919) 733-1141 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer � f � I would like to propose the following containment requirements: 1. A perimeter fence with a height of at least 4 feet and depth in ground of at least 1 foot, be provided. All gates shall be securely locked except when the farm manager or employees are working within the fence. 2. The building shall be of concrete block construction. Any doors or other entrances shall be kept locked except for periods of time when work is ongoing within the building. 3. Roof structures may be hinged in a manner to partially open to allow ventilation during hot weather. Block walls shall be at least 30 inches vertically to prevent escapement during these times. NCDA will make at least annual inspections of the farm to insure that all requirement are met. If you have any questions or would like further information to be provided to the Wildlife Commission about Florida or Louisiana's rules or our effort to develop the CITES plan , please contact Rebecca Dunning (919 793-4118). For other information let me know. I will be available to discuss this with the Wildlife Commission if appropriate. Thank you for your assistance with this over the past year and a half. cc.

The responsibility of the Veterinary Division of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture is to -'assure that dead animals which are considered diseasecb are handled in such a manner that diseases cannot be spread back to livestock or poultry. Before dead poultry could be fed to alligators in North Carolina, we would require a disease management plan. If the plan was approved, a permit would be issued by this office. Attached is a draft plan for alligator production in North Carolina, which is being submitted to a Legislative Study Commission on Seafood and Aquaculture. Our concerns are addressed in item 4 on page 2. If you need additional information please call this office at (919)733-3986.

There is significant potential and interest in expanding production to North Carolina. Alligators are raised in confinement in buildings. They. are kept in the dark and are fed ground meat (poultry or swine) or fish. The alligators are introdu ed to the facility as hatchlings and grow to between 4 and 5 feet in length in a years Alligators can be tagged at birth. Eggs are either taken from the wild, by permission of the appropriate state game agency, or are produced by captive brood stock. The current North Carolina interest is from Richmond County. The proposal is to utilize the mortality from poultry and swine operations to feed the alligators. This low cost food will compensate for the cost of heating the facility in the winter. The proposal would bring hatchlings from Florida to North Carolina for grow out and processing. The impediment to such a farm rests with the state Wildlife Law (113-337) which authorizes the Wildlife Commission to regulate wildlife except as specifically authorized by statute. There is no mention of alligator farming in the statutes. Alligators are currently listed on both Federal and State Endangered Species lists and commercial trade in such animals is highly regulated to protect the wild populations. Nothing in this proposal should be interpreted as an infringement on the authority of the NC Wildlife Resources Commission to regulate the wild alligators in our state. This is simply a plan to allow an agricultural commodity from another state to be grown to harvest size in North Carolina. The legislation necessary to provide this opportunity while protecting the state's wild alligators and other resources needs to include certain safeguards. The following conditions are proposed for your review and consideration. 1. Only hatchlings, with documentation from the state of origin will be allowed into the state. Records of numbers, tags, etc., would be reported to NCDA and kept on site for inspection by NCDA or Wildlife Resources. 2. All hatchlings shall be tagged prior to entry into the state. 3. All production and holding facilities must have 'a confinement plan approved by the Division of Wildlife Resources. 4. The use of swine or poultry for feed must comply with a disease V management plan which must be approved by the Division of Veterinary Services, NCDA. 5. The processing of the alligators must comply with regulations for other aquaculturally produced species. 6. Compliance with the CITES requirements shall be the responsibility of the farmer. Any expenses incurred by the state in assisting in compliance will be the responsibility of the producers. , . 7. Alligator production shall be considered a form of agriculture and shall be licensed as a part of the state. aquaculture development act's licensing authority. 8. Severe penalties for any inclusion of wild alligators. �Q�..ut laR� Po7twntkR f�iNE`} _ _ pew r 10- u_.--- GLlowtaRri►f-44t ~� rPoSJ�ilyt F4aaR DRAiN� PAC, " �rA�J ,4tjbh, GCS G Ai-o F r�R M r�. 3,95 f�ab 1,,iL �t�Ak6 lop fJc l<c Ll g � 1 aLo c- rn �/,�, t,, p L i 14 r, n'1-7 .;.
