Removal of Registration
Facility Number 78-64
Robeson County
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 214.0217, 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 wafers 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 which require certified animal waste management plans are as follows:
Swine 250
Confined Cattle 100
Horses 75
Sheep 1,000
Poultry with a liquid waste system 30,000
If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sue Homewood of our staff
at [phone] ext 502.

ENV. MANAGEMENT
FAYETTEVIU.E REG. OFFICE
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several' months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 919/733-0026.

Dear Mr. Vendrick:
On July 17, 1996, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality inspected your animal operation and the lagoon serving this operation. It was observed that
wastewater was not contained completely within the lagoon; however, no discharge to surface waters
was noted. This overflow is considered a deficiency by this office.
You must submit a corrective action plan by obtaining an approved waste management plan
or closure plan. If you decide to submit a waste management plan for your registered facility, it must
meet the latest lagoon design requirements for its collection, storage, treatment and crop nutrient
utilization. If you decide to submit a closure plan, it must include a reasonable schedule to remove
inimals, along with the additional activities to follow. Whichever corrective action plan is chosen
must be certified by a technical specialist.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, a schedule for all corrective actions must be made
within 30 days. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status and
legal status for continued operations.
Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina Statutes to discharge wastewater to the
surface waters of the State without a permit. The Division of Water Quality has the authority to levy
a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day per violation.
