Poultry Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage
and Application System
Gates County
In accordance with your request for a renewal with change in permit coverage received on June 27, 2005,
we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Gates Poultry Farms, Inc.,
authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application
system in accordance with General Permit AWG300000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Gates Poultry Farm, located in Gates County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 4 Layer poultry and the application to land as specified in the
facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009, and shall hereby void
Certificate of Coverage Number NCA437001 dated April 9, 2003. Pursuant to this COC, you are
authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Since this is a revised State
General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the
previous State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keeping
and monitoring conditions in this permit.
If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site -specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
