Facility Number. 94.15
Washington County
Dear Heber Alligood;
During the 1999 session, the North Carolina General Assembly passed a law directing the North
Carolina Department of Environment of Natural Resources (DENR) to develop an inventory and
ranking of all inactive lagoons and storage ponds in the State. in order to meet this directive, a
representative of DENR has recently evaluated the inactive lagoon(s) and/or storage pond(s) on your
property. Inactive lagoons and storage ponds were defined by the Statute as structures which were
previously used to store animal waste but have not received waste for at least one year.
The information collected on your property is contained in the attached field data sheets. Using
this field data, staff ranked your inactive waste structures as high, medium or low according to its
potential risk for polluting surface and/or groundwater. Your waste structure(s) was ranked as
- - follows:
Structure Number Surface Area (Acres) Ranking
1 0.46 Medium
2 0.18 Medium
This ranking is based in part on the conditions existing on the day of the site visit. Changes in
these conditions or the collection and evaluation of additional data may modify the ranking of your
waste structure(s) in the future.
Information on your facility along with over 1000 others contained in the inventory has been
provided to the General Assembly. During this year's .session, the General Assembly will consider
additional requirements for future management of these structures which may include requiring
proper closure of inactive lagoons and storage ponds according to current or alternative standards.

Rating of Potential Risk
Inactive Waste Lagoons and Storage Ponds
Animal Waste Management System
Page 2
Regardless of their ranking, owners of all waste lagoons and storage ponds have certain
management responsibilities. These include taking appropriate actions to eliminate current
discharges, prevent future discharges and to insure the stability of their structures. Staff of the
Division of Water Quality will be in contact with owners of all inactive structures that have been
determined to pose a serious environmental risk, based on its ranking and/or additional field data
collected by the Department.
All liquids and waste removed from these structures must be land applied at a rate not to exceed
the agronomic needs of the receiving crops. Any major modifications made to the dike walls or
structure must be done in accordance with current standards and under the direction of a technical
specialist designated for structural design. Your local Soil and Water Conservation District is an
excellent source for information and guidance related to proper waste application practices, structure
operation and maintenance, and other related animal waste management standards and/or
requirements. -
Nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility and liability for _
any past or future discharges from your lagoon(s) and/or storage pond(s) or for any violations of
surface water or groundwater quality standards.
Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in this process. If you have questions concerning
your inactive structures, please contact the staff of either in the Division of Water Quality or the
Division of Soil and Water Conservation in the Washington Regional Office at [phone].

Dear Heber Alligood-
This is to acknowledge receipt of your request that your facility no longer be registered as an active 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 limits listed
below, you will be required to obtain and implement a certified animal waste management plan and notify the Division
of Water Quality prior to stocking animals to that level. Threshold numbers of animals that require certified animal
waste management plans are as follows:
Swine 250
Confined Cattle 100
Horses 75
Sheep 1,000
Pouln with a liquid wastes tern 30,000
U you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sue Homewood of our staff
at [phone] ext 502.

Facility No. # 94-15
Washington County
Dear Mr. Alligood:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Animal Feedlot Operation Site Inspection conducted at the referenced
facility by the Division of Water Quality from the Washington Regional Office. Please read this inspection
and keep it with all other documents pertaining to your animal operation.
In general, this inspection included verifying that: (1) the farm has a Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CAWMP); (2) the farm is complying with requirements of the State Rules 15 NCAC 2H.0217, Senate
Bill 1217, and the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan; (3) the farm operation's waste management
system is being operated properly under the direction of a Certified Operator; (4) the required records are
being kept; (5) there are no signs of seepage, erosion, and/or runoff.
N
The following items are conditions of the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan and are conditions of
the general permit therefore these items must be implemented:
- Keep lagoons/storage ponds free of foreign debris including, but not -limited to tires, bottles, plastic
products, light bulbs, gloves, syringes or any other solids waste.
- Pipes discharging wastes into the lagoon should be extended beneath the surface of the lagoon to avoid
releasing gases from agitated wastes.
- The lagoon areas should be kept mowed or otherwise controlled and accessible. High grass does not
allow you to conduct a thorough inspection of the lagoon area for seepage, rodent damage, etc.
- An analysis of the liquid animal waste from the lagoon shall be conducted as close to the time of
application as practical and at least within 60 days (before or after) of the date of application. This
analysis shall include the following parameters: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Zinc and Copper.
- Soil analysis is required annually
- All grassed waterways shall have a stable outlet with adequate capacity to prevent ponding or flooding
damages. The outlet can be another vegetated channel, an earth ditch, stabilization structure, or other
suitable outlets.
- It is suggested to keep crop yield information for future use to update your waste management plan.
- Lagoon levels must be maintained within the permanent and temporary storage and at a minimum must
always have nineteen inches of freeboard.
- A gauged pump marker must be installed upon certification.

Dear Mr. Alligood:
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 9191733-0026.
