WASH NG utN 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 S10.000 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.

Swine Operation is hereby Designated as a Concentrated
Animal Feeding Operation in accordance Title 15, North
Carolina administrative Code 2h .0123, and adopted Federal

requiring such designation based upon the following facts:
1. Discharges occur via a pipe in the second stage
lagoon wall.
2. This operation houses aproximately 650 hogs.
3. Cattle and several horses have access to the stream.
4. Discharges occur to an unnamed tributary to
Kendricks Creek which is classified as SC waters.

Dear Larry:
To design an animal waste lagoon we give considerations to the
following areas:
1) Design treatment volume,_sometimes called permanent storage is
figured at 1 cubic foot per pound of animal. For a feeder pig
operation we use 522 cubic feet per sow For 'your operation the
design treatment volume is 104409.6 fD
2) Sludge accumulation should be designed for 5-10 years. The figure
we use for sludge accumulation is 42 ft /year -sow. In your design
I did not figure a volume for sludge accumulation.
3) Temporary Storage:
a. Pumping cycle - for your design I figured a 180 day pumping
cycle.
b. Rainfall less evaportation is also figured.
c. 25yr.-24hr. rainfall is figured which is 7.2 inches.
We also look at waste management. In your design you have the acres
required for nitrogen disposal which is 5 acres. The acres required
for P205 and K20 disposal is also listed. This is the amount of land
required if the waste is applied on Tifton 44 bermuda grass. You also
have the time that waste can be applied.
Your existing storage ponds can be used but work will be needed to
improve the dikes. The dikes need to be as a minimum with a 10 foot
top with 3 to 1 side slopes. The banks need to be grassed and maintained.
Cows need to be kept off the dikes. Maintenance needs to be carried out
as needed. If you use your existing storage ponds you may need to pump
every thirty (30) days. You should apply animal waste only on an actively
growing crop.

I see that you need to come up with some additional land area to apply
waste on. You cannot apply waste on your pasture year round without
planting a rye cover crop and getting a stand of bermuda.
If you have any questions please feel free to call.

I have received 2 copies of your letter concerning designation
of concentrated animal feeding operation. I have cemented the opening
in the pipe in the second stage lagoon wall. This will prevent any
discharges to occur. This process was completed on December 23, 1991.
Mr. Rufus Croom came out to the farm on January 21, 1992. At this
time he had not received a copy of this letter. He read my letter and I
showed him what had been done to correct the problem. He said he
would get back in touch with me. I have not heard from him as of this date.
We also use the manure from the hog operation as a fertilizer on
our 10 acre pasture. This is done several times a year.
At this time, I am waiting for Rufus Croom to contact me for other
suggestions. If you need to contact me, my phone number is 919-793-5421.

SUBJECT: Compliance Inspection
Circle C Hog Facility
Washington County
On October 8,1992, Robert Tankard, DEM Staff of the Washington
Regional Office, visited the Circle C Hog FACILITY. The purpose of
this visit was to determine whether or not the aforementioned
facility was in compliance with its CAFO Designation effective
January 14, 1992.
As a result of this inspection it has been found that the Circle C
Hog Facility was in compliance at the time of inspection. It
should be noted that Mr. Compstock reinforced his lagoon dikes and
also terminated the PVC pipe that was allowing the discharge by
filling the pipe with concrete.
Mr. Compstock is working with the Ag agent in reworking his hog
lagoons. At the present time, there were no discharges, but there
was less than 6 inches of free board in his lagoon.

Description of Facility Location:
This facility is located off Hwy 64 aproximately 3 miles
North of Roper, N.C. in Washington County.
Type of operation (Examples: farrow to finish, topping,
dairy, swine, cattle, chickens -layers or broilers, turkey
production, ets.):
This operation is a farrow to finish operation that
normally houses 150 sows and 500 pigs during the year.
Number and type of animals units:
This.facility houses aproximately 650 swine total.
Length of Time Animals Have been, Are, or Will Be Stabled,
or Confined and Fed or Maintained in Any 12 Month Period:
The animals are housed greater than 9 months during
any 12 month period.
Are Crops, Vegetation Forage Growth, or Post -Harvest
Residues Sustained in the Normal Growing Season Over Any
Portion of the Lot or Facility?
No crops are grown on any portion of the hog lot.
There is also a cow pasture surronding the operation.
Description of Other Animal Operations in Immediate
Vicinity or Proximity to Same or Other Surface Waters:
There are no neighboring animal operations.
Proximity of Facility to Neighboring Houses, Wells, etc.:
The nearest home is located 1500 feet from the
operation.
Approximate Depth of Groundwater Table in the Area of the
Facility or Discharge:
The seasonal high water table appeared to be
• approximately 3-4 feet.
Proximity of Facility to Surface Waters (provide name and
class of surface waters):

The facility drains into an unnamed tributary to
Kendricks Creek and is classified as SC waters.
Are Pollutants Discharged into the Waters of the State?
If so, How? (directly or by man-made ditch, flushing
system, or other similar man-made device):
Animal waste was discharged via a plastic pvc pipe
to a ditch that flows into the ut to Kendricks Creek.
Do or Have Discharges Occurred in Response to a Storm
Event of Less Than a 25-year, 24-hour Intensity? (if yes,
include a brief listings of incidents and suspected

floors with lagoon or pit, single or multi -cell lagoon,

sampling, field measurements, visual observations and
slope and vegetative cover of land adjacent to water,
extent of rainfall and other factor relative to the
likelihood or frequency of discharge of animal. wastes and
process wastewaters).
No field measurements were taken.

Recommendations Made to Owner/operator:
Mr. Price has cemented shut his discharge pipe, but there
is still a problem with his cattle having access to the
stream and there is no land suitable for land application
at this site. He was encouraged to contact his local-SCS
office for help.
Recommendations for Further DEM Actions: (Re -inspect,
designate)
The Regional Office recommends
be designated as Concentrated
Operations.
Other Comments:
None.
