The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to
reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is
to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be
analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all
plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe
manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are
important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange
capacities; and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land
eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be
applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it
is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to
surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be
considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for
crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a
growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the
waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for
this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
Z There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has
an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the
producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide
a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing
him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of
the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in
the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic
crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for
other nutrients.
4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste
may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre
per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See
FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip).
Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops
or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during
a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance)
7 Liquid waste shall. be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause
drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or
flies.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.

Subject: Notice of Violation
Pridgen Farm Site #2
Facility Number: 71-43?
Pender County
Dear Mr. Pridgen:
Alan W. Klimek, RE, Director
Division of Water Quality
This is to notify you of violations to Swine Waste Management System General Permit
AWG100000 issued on October 1, 2004 under Certificate of Coverage AWS710043.
On November 2, 2004, Mr. Chester Cobb from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality performed a compliance inspection of the Pridgen Farm Site #2. During the
inspection, Mr. Cobb noted several violations. The following violations were noted:
1. Waste management system needing improvement
On December 8, 2003 a Notice of Violation was issued for several violations, which
included inadequacies with the irrigation system. Then on January 29, 2004, a meeting
was conducted with the owner, Division of Water Quality, Division of Soil and Water
Conservation, and the Integrator to discuss issues at the farm. At that time, it was noted
that a new irrigation system would have to be installed or the present irrigation system
modified to cover the fields as designed. On the November 2, 2004 inspection, Mr.
Cobb noted that the proposed irrigation system had not been installed as previously
discussed.
This is in violation of Condition No. I1. 14. that states "The facility must have at least one
of the following items at all times: (a) adequate animal waste application and handling
equipment, (b) a lease, or other written agreement, for the use of the necessary
equipment, or (c) a contract with a third party applicator capable of providing adequate
waste application."

Subject: Notice of Violation and
Recommendation for Enforcement
Pridgen Farm Site #2
Facility Number: 71-43
Pender County
Dear Mr._ Pridgen:
This Notice of Violation is issued on this date to Mr. Gary Pridgen, owner/operator of the Pridgen
Farm Site #2 covered under Certificate of Coverage AWS710002. This Certificate of Coverage, as
issued by the State of North Carolina, authorizes the operation of the subject animal waste collection,
treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with Swine Waste General Permit
AW G 100000.
On January 22, 2004 Mr. Chester Cobb and Mr. John Famell performed a follow up inspection to
the violations observed by Division staff on December 3, 2003. During Mr. Cobb and Mr. Famell visit,
several violations were documented.
The violations are listed as follows:
1. Inadequate freeboard level
On January 22, 2004, Division staff observed the freeboard level of the "New" lagoon to be twelve
(12) inches. The lagoon design for the "New" lagoon on file at this office lists seven and one-half
(7.5) inches for the 25-year, 24-hour storm event. Therefore, the required freeboard level of the
"New" lagoon is nineteen and one-half (19.5) inches (12 + 7.5 inches).
This is in violation of Condition V. 3 of the General Permit that states in part; "At a minimum,
maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed.the level that provides
adequate storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional 1 foot of
structural freeboard."
2. Failure to notify
The Wilmington Regional Office was not notified of the inadequate freeboard level.
This is in violation of Condition Ill. 6.e of General Permit that states in part, `The Permittee shall
report by telephone to the appropriate Division Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no
case more than twenty-four (24) hours following first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the
following events: Failure to maintain adequate storage capacity in a lagoontstorage greater than
or equal to that requ'ired.in Condition V (3) of this General Permit."

Facility Number: 71-43
Pender County
Dear Mr. Pridgen:
This is to notify Mr. Gary Pridgen, who holds a non -discharge permit for an animal waste disposal
system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0200 and North Carolina G.S. 143.21,5.1, of violations with Animal
Waste Permit AWS710043.
On December 3, 2003, Mr. Dean Hunkele from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality inspected your animal operation and .the lagoon(s) serving this operation. Please find the
enclosed inspection report related to this visit. The following violations were noted during the inspection:
Excessive -Pon ding of Animal Waste (Condition 11.4)
Excessive amounts of animal waste were ponded in areas of both spray fields where volunteer vegetation
was considerably higher than the surrounding areas. No spray heads were observed in or near these
areas and waste appears to have traveled a considerable distance from the system's apparent perimeter.
While no discharge was observed during the visit, this situation could very well lead to a future discharge.
Should a discharge occur, then this facility would be required to apply for the federal NPDES version of
the animal waste permit which is considerably more stringent than the current State permit issued to this
facility. Furthermore, this facility's animals would not be allowed to be processed in North Carolina
requiring them to be shipped elsewhere if the farm is assessed a civil penalty for a discharge.
Please inspect the system to identify why the system is clearly not performing adequately and why you
have not either detected or corrected the problems to date.
IrrLslation System (Condition ll. 13)
The irrigation map generated as part of the wetted acres process appears to indicate that nearly all of the
area located in both fields have or must have irrigation system installed. Based on recent site visits, it is
unclear just how much area has an irrigation system is installed versus what is required. Please submit
the following information pertaining to the facility's waste application system and note that the wetted
perimeter must remain at least 200 feet from residences or churches.
1. Identify what areas currently have irrigation capability on a copy of the system design map if the
entire system is not installed per the design. Please provide a timetable when the system shall
be fully installed and operational. If the system is 100 percent installed, then please provide a
statement to this effect and be prepared to inspect the system with a Division representative in
the near future.

2. The design requires the use of two distinct Senniger spray heads and it is unclear how the
system is to be operated and records maintained based on the submitted information. Please
identify the operational zones corresponding to the needs of the design that indicate how the
system will be operated and records maintained in compliance with both the hydraulic and
nutrient limits contained in the waste management plan. Please include the wetted acreage for
each identified zone on an attachment with a modified system design map.
Lack of Cover Crop (Condition II.2)
No suitable cover crop was observed in either spray field in accordance with a required animal waste
management plan. The previous plan that the facility was operating under prior to conversion to Coastal
Bermuda required the use of fescue in the larger field and a rotation of summer/winter annuals in the
smaller field. No evidence of either fescue or a winter annual was observed at the facility, as well as, no
evidence was observed that a summer annual crop was planted this year which would be expected
without a winter cover being planted.
In accordance with a new waste management plan dated July 24,.2002 designed to meet the wetted
acreage needs of the facility and submitted with the permit renewal application in February 2003. the
facility was to establish Coastal Bermuda on the entire site this past spring (2003). In light of the
unusually wet year and the facility's failure to establish this new cropping scheme, the facility should have
remained under its previous waste plan or created and implemented a plan modification for this year as is
required any time a facility is -unable to follow the currently active plan.
Based on the site conditions, improved drainage will be necessary for the establishment and maintenance
of Coastal Bermuda. Improvements to the current field drainage systems, the establishment of new
drainage features, and crowning of the field's surfaces will likely be necessary prior to sprigging next
February -April. You may wish to contact the local NC DOT office to request an inspection of their
drainage system in the vicinity of your facility to ensure that it is intact and functioning properly.
Inadequate Lagoon Marker (Condition Ill. 2)
The newer lagoon at the facility serving 1200 animals from which irrigation activities occur must have a
new waste level gauge installed as soon as possible. The current marker appears to have been pushed
over by the floating pump barge due to its proximity to the marker. This deficient marker makes accurate
lagoon level readings extremely difficult, if not impossible. The new marker should be located in a safer
location with the required minimum and stop pumping levels clearly identified.
To correct these violations, please submit to this office a detailed Plan of Action including a
timetable for completion that describes the actions to be taken to address these violations of Animal
Waste Permit AWS710043. This office must receive the proposed written plan of action within fifteen (15)
working days of your receipt of this notice. Upon approval and implementation of the plan, you must
notify this office when the corrective actions are complete. Contact your Service Company, county Soil &
Water district office, county extension office, or the NCDA district agronomist, Tim Hall [phone],
for any assistance they may be able to provide.

I observed no spray heads or risers attached to the system in the vicinityof the pond ed waste. Either the heads were •►
relocated to the drier areas of the fields adjacent to the farm structures or the system has several locations with damaged
lateral lines, risers, or leaking riser plug4ns resulting in wastewater loss during operation of the system elsewhere when th
system is pressurized.
I observed no evidence that control valves are installed to allow the unused laterals to be shut down when not in use to
vent waste loss from faulty plug4ns or broken lines, thus I would assume that the entire field or system is pressurized
an any irrigation occurs. Without the isolation valves it is nearly impossible to tell where the leaks may be located due t
expansive area where waste is ponded including higher vegetation and saturated soil conditions. One of the following
ion are required to fix the irrigation system other than complete replacement.
eral isolation valves must be installed in this or any new system installed at the facility. AND
Replace every plug-in valve with a foxed riser system that either always has a spray head attached or can have a head
prior to use. OR
Remove and clean every plug-in valve and replace all damaged or leaking valves.
The freeboard level gauge in the newer lagoon has been pushed over probably by the. floating pump dock. It is slanted
approximately a 45 degree angle, thus an accurate reading is not possible. A new , easier to read marker needs to be
Mailed in a safer location ASAP.
5. There is NO cover crop currently on either field. Most of the fescue field was deep plowed during the summer
ccording to the owner and no crop is currently present. No evidence that a summer annual was planted in the other field
its year -- some of this field has also been deep plowed. The plowing may have damaged the irrigation system. Owner
tated that the farm is too be sprigged with Bermuda in the spring and cattle & fencing have already been removed. if the
wner wishes to graze or feed cattle in the non wetted area of the fields, then this is completely acceptable. In order for
lermuda to survive at this 4wet7 site, field drainage must be improved. I observed that the either there is no culvert under
ie farm entrance to allow the ROW ditch to drain the fields or it is completely covered up -- this must be addressed. The
original field ditches along the outside of both fields have not been maintained with numerous trees, roots, snags, and
ebris plugging them. These need to be cleaned out and perhaps deepened to help lower the field's water table and
onvey storm water off the field. Appears that additional ditches once lined the farm path which borders the inside of both
elds, but these have long since been allowed to fill in naturally or was done intentionally. These should be replaced to
assist in lowering the water table an conveying storm water off the field. Prior to sprigging, both fields need to be slightly
:rowned to allow storm water to leave the field.

Dear Mr. Pridgen:
This is to notify Mr. Gary Pridgen, who holds a non -discharge permit for an animal waste disposal
system pursuantto 15A NCAC 21-1.0200 and North Carolina G.S.143.215.1, of violationswith Animal Waste
Permit AWS 710043.
On November 16, 2001, Mr. Dean Hunkele from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality inspected your animal operation and the animal waste management system serving this
operation. The'following violations were noted during the inspection:
1. Record Keeping
During the inspection it was observed waste analyses and soil analyses are not being conducted as required
by your General Permit. The inadequate waste sampling was addressed in a Notice of Defiency in May 2000
for 71-90 (Pridgen #3). At the time of inspection, no soil samples had been taken and those from 2000
indicated only fescue as a cover crop when summer & winter annuals are also utilized. It is highly
recommended that you attend the Record Keeping Workshop being conducted at 1 pm on December 18,
2001 at the James Sprunt Community College in Kenansville. You can contact Star Maready with
Cooperative Extension at [phone] for additional information.

Waste Analyses -- A dated waste analysis report for each lagoon that irrigation occurs from is required within
60 days of any irrigation event. This is required by the General Permit under Part Ill. Monitoring & Reporting
Requirements; Section 4. Forexample, waste report is dated March1st, then applications can be made until
May 1st or backwards to January 1st. Waste can be applied prior to having an updated report such as
spraying on February 1st and using the PAN listed on a reporton March 1st of a sample taken February20.
However, the grower is cautioned against applying too often without knowing the nitrogen content of the
lagoon on low PAN crops (like overseeds) or when nitrogen balance (PAN) is nearly used up for a crop to
avoid over -application. It is highly recommended that samples be taken every 90 days (3 months) beginning
in January to always have a valid sample report. This also allows for a 30-day period of report overlap where
the grower can use the lowest PAN value of the two reports on the IRR-2 nitrogen balance records.
Soil Samples -- A dated soil sample report for each spray field in the waste utilization plan is required once
per calendar year (annually). This is required by the General Permit under Part III. Monitoring & Reporting
Requirements; Section 3. Fields greater than 10 acres should be broken up into smaller fields for sampling
purposes to obtain the most useful information. It is highly recommended that samples for pastures and hay
fields betaken during the summerto obtain a report in a timely manner. Grower is cautioned against waiting
past October 1st because report may not be dated and returned by the end of the year. It is recommended
that a separate soil sample be taken from areas where cover crops are struggling to be maintained; indicate
this is from a problem area on the paperwork for a more thorough soil analysis to be completed to find
possible source of a problem. In addition, lime must be applied at the rate recommended by the annual soil
report for amounts 1 ton/acre or greater to meet the requirements of Part It. Operation & Maintenance
Requirements; Section 3.
2. No Operator4n-Charge
Priorto the inspection it was noted that DWQ has no record of an Operator -in -Charge (OIC) listed for your
facility. This is a violation of the General Permit under Part V. General Conditions; Section 2. Each facility
is required to have an actively licensed OIC designated. Ms. Beth Buffington with DWQ Training &
Certification indicated that you are scheduled to take the exam for the 3'd and final attempt to pass on
December 13, 2001 at James Sprunt Community College. Please be aware that failing to pass this exam
will require that you take the full course again next year and designate an Operator -in -Charge prior to the
end of January 2002 for your facilities until you regain an active license. Ms. Buffington can be contacted
at [phone] Ext. 313 for questions concerning this matter.
3. Wetted Acres Determination
Yourfacildy received a letter on October20, 2000 requiring that a Wetted Acres Determination be completed
for your facility prior to April 18, 2001. To date, this item has not been completed and must be completed
as soon as possible to avoid additional enforcement action. Irrigation records indicate that 2 to 3 acres are
being claimed for each 10 spray heads which appears to be overstating.the amount that can be covered with
the system. It is possible that the millet was over -applied to this year due to overstating the acreage. Also,
the flow rate is unknown for the system. The Wetted Acres process will clarify these issues. It is highly
recommended that the new waste utilization plan based on the results of the Determination be written by
spray zone to aid in keeping records correctly.
To correct these violations, please submit a detailed Plan of Corrective Action to the Wilmington
Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality that describes the actions to be taken to address these
violations of Animal Waste Permit AWS 710043.

Mr. Gary Pridgen
November 19, 2001

The proposed written plan of action must be received by this office within fifteen (15) working days
of the receipt of this notice. Upon approval and implementation of the plan, you must notify this office when
the corrective actions are complete. Contact your Service Company, county Soil & Water district office, or
county extension office for any assistance they may be able to provide.
If the violations are not corrected, the Division of Water Quality may pursue additional avenues to
achieve compliance including civil penalties, injunctive relief, or permit revocation.
If you have any questions concerning this matter please do not hesitate to contact either Mr.
Stonewall Mathis or Mr. Dean Hunkele, of our Wilmington Regional Office at [phone] or Mr. Steve
Lewis at [phone], exL 539.

Dear Gary W. Pridgen:
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Dean Hunkele on 4/8/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility
that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the
following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X".
Category l:
❑ The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Dean Hunkele the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Dean Hunkele, at 127 Cardinal Drive
Extension, Wilmington, NC 28405-3845, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you
have any questions please contact Dean Hunkele at [phone]. If within 90 days you
are unable to provide Dean Hunkele with the information you are automatically
required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2
below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter.

Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System

Category 2:
Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next
180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our
Central Office staff at [phone] ext. 571.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 71-43
Pender County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. 1RR1, IRR2, DRY I, DRY2, DRY3, SLURI, SLUR2,
SLDI, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571.

based on new information. If new fields are to be included as an option for lowering lagoon level, add these
fields to the PAN balance table and recalculate the overall PAN balance. If animal waste is to be hauled to
another permitted facility, provide information regarding the herd population and lagoon freeboard levels at the
receiving facility.
Contracted this office on 12-18-09 about high freeboard. Received waste lagoon information on 12-18-09.

This livestock waste treatment lagoon is designed in accordance with the North Carolina
Natural Resources Conservation Service PRACTICE STANDARD 359— WASTE TREATMENT
LAGOON, revised prior to June, 1996.
Emergency Spillway:
An Emergency Spillway is not required.
NOTE: See attached Waste U
DESIGNED: AtSIL41 -_2� Z„
DATE: 11 -c1
COMMENTS: The lagoon has been designed as an irreauTar shape.
Actual contour areas taken from the lagoon design are used to calculate
the surface area and storage volume characteristics of the lagoon.
This aperoach insures that rainfall qapture on the lagoon is fup
accounted for and that storage volumes calculated represent actual
conditions regardless of the shape.

Dear Mr. Pridgen:
EDF-::H"F;Z
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 919/733-0026.
