Dear MrJMrs. Riddick
VYASHIR GTON OFFICE

D, E. M.
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 $10,000 per day.
Should you decide to increase the number of animals housed at your facility beyond the threshold Iimits 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
Poul
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.
Sincerely,
A. Preston Howard, Jr., P.E.

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 919n33-0026.

Subject: Animal Waste Lagoons
Facility No. 37-22
Gates County
Dear Mr. Riddick:
On October 24, 1995 staff from the Washington Regional Office of the Division of
Environmental Management inspected the lagoons serving your animal feeding operations. It was
observed that your lagoon had an insufficient amount of freeboard, water level in relation to the
lowest point of your dike wall. You should maintain a minimum of nineteen inches of freeboard
in the lagoon. This letter is written to bring your attention to this situation and to ask you to,
begin spray irrigating wastewater or take the appropriate action necessary to reduce the level of
your lagoon immediately. Please note that a buffer of twenty-five feet must be maintained
while spray irrigating from any drainage system (ditch, swale, canal, stream, etc.).
Please be aware that it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge
wastewater to the surface waters (farm ditches, creeks streams, etc) of the State without a
permit. The Division of Environmental Management has the authority to levy a fine of not more
than $10,000 per day for the unpermitted discharge of wastewater into the surface waters of the
State. At some point in the future, staff will reinspect your facility. Lagoon dikes should be kept
mowed so they can be visually inspected.
If you have any questions in regard to this letter I can be contacted at [phone]
ext. 318.
Sincerely,
