REG. OFFICE
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 $25,000 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
Poulwith a liquid wastes stem
30,000
If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sonya Avant of our

SUBJECT: Retraction of Civil Penalty

Dear Speedy Gonzales:
On October 31, 1997, the Director of the Division of Water Quality assessed a $500.00 civil
penalty against the owner of the subject facility for failing to designate an operator in charge of the animal
waste management system. After a further review of the situation and given the current status of this farm it
is my decision N) retract the civil penalty assessed in case number OV 97-89 and close our file on this matter.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the
responsibility or liability for failure to comply all applicable rules and regulations at the subject farm. If you
decide in the future to increase the number of animals at this farm above the threshold numbers established by
15A NCAC 211 .0217, you must first comply with all requirements including designating an operator in
charge for the facility.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions, please call
Shannon Langley at 733-5083, ext. 581.

Dear Mr. Gonzales:
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Studv
Commission an 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 DIC.
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 Group 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 Group.
As the owner of a registered 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.

In accordance with State Regulations (15A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1)(E)) adopted by the Environmental
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.
This letter is to advise you that this office has no record of having received the required Certification for
the subject facility. Please provide this office with an explanation as to why this Certification was not
submitted as required. This explanation must be received within 30 days following the receipt of this letter.
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 take 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. This request would also be due within 30 days from receipt of this letter.

15A NCAC 817.0201
Gonzales Farm
Facility #: 82-453
Sampson County
Case #: OV 97-089
Dear Speedy Gonzales:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and a notice of a civil penalty assessed against
Speedy Gonzales in the amount of $500.00. This assessment is based upon the following facts:
Speedy Gonzales operates an animal operation and associated animal waste management
system in Sampson County.
As of January 1, 1997, in accordance with N.C.G.S. 90 A-47.2 and 15A NCAC 817.0201
a.certified operator in responsible charge is required to operate the subject animal waste
management system:
In accordance with 15A NCAC 817 .0201(a), the owner of each animal operation having
an animal waste management system must submit a letter to the Certification Commission,
Division of Water Quality (DWQ), Technical Assistance and Certification Group, which
designates an Operator in Charge with the appropriate type of certification. This letter
must be signed by the owner and the certified operator and be submitted to the
Certification Commission by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date.
In November, 1996 and April, 1997, DWQ mailed notices to all animal waste management
facilities who had not designated an operator with the DWQ.
P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 Telephone [phone] Fax [phone]
An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper

Speedy Gonzales failed to designate an appropriately certified wastewater treatment
operator in responsible charge of the subject animal waste management system, in
accordance with 15A NCAC 8F.0201 (a).
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Speedy Gonzales violated
or failed to act in accordance with the requirements of N.C.G.S. 90 A-47.2 and 15A NCAC 8F
.0201. A civil penalty of not more than $1,000 per day may be assessed against a person who is
required but fails to designate an appropriately certified wastewater treatment operator as
required by N.C.G.S. 90 A-47.5 and 15A NCAC 8F.0500.
Based upon the above facts and conclusions of law, I hereby assess Speedy Gonzales a
$500.00 civil penalty for this violation of N.C.G.S. 90 A-47,2 and 15A NCAC 817.0201 pursuant
to the authority delegated to me by N.C.G.S. 90'A-47.2 and 15A NCAC 817.0201.
Please find attached another Operator in Charge designation form. Please complete this
form and return it to:
WPCSOCC
Division of Water Quality
P.O. Box 29535
Raleigh, NC 27626-0535
If the aforementioned operator designation form is not at the above address within 30 days
of your receipt of this notice, you will be subject to further civil penalties of up to $1,000 for each
day that the operator in charge designation is not submitted. You may contact DWQ's Training
and Certification Group at [phone] for information about designating a certified operator.
Within thirty days receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the Penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment
to the attention of:
Mr. Steve W. Tedder
Water Quality Section Chief
Division of Water Quality
'P.O. Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
or
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed
justification for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the
reasonableness of the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for
contesting the accuracy of any of the statements contained in the assessment letter.
Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such
a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative

hearing and a stipulation that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute. You
must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and a
detailed statement which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B -282.1(b)
were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting
from the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining
necessary remedial actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:
Mr. Steve W. Tedder
Water Quality Section Chief/DWQ
P.O. Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
OR
3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any portion of the civil penalty assessment, you must request
an administrative hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to
the Office of Administrative Hearings and must conform to Chapter 150B of the
North Carolina General Statutes. You must:
File your original petition with the:
Office of Administrative Hearings
P.O. Drawer 27447
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7447
and
Mail or hand -deliver a Copy of the petition to: I I .

NCDENR
Post Office Box 27687
Raleigh, NC 27611

Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty days, as evidenced by a date
stamp (not a postmark) indicating when we received your response, will result in this matter being
referred to the Attorney General's Office with a request to initiate a civil action to collect the
penalty. Please be advised that additional assessments may be levied for future violations which
occur after the review period of this assessment.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Shannon Langley at [phone],
