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 $25,000 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 receive approval from the Division of Water Quality prior to stocking animals to that level. Threshold numbers of animals are as follows: Swine 250 Confined Cattle 100 Horses 75 Sheep 1,000 Poultry with a liquid wastes stem 30,000 If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sonya Avant at (919) 733-5083 ext. 571or Steve Lewis (919) 733-5083 ext. 539.

Preston Howard, Jr., P.E., Director February 17, 1994 Victor Evans 7851 NC Hwy. 53E Burgaw NC 28425 Dear Mr. Evans: This is to inform you that your completed registration form required by the recently modified nondischarge rule has been received by the Division of Environmental Management (DEM), Water Quality Section. On December 10, 1992 the Environmental Management Commission adopted a water quality rule which governs animal waste management systems. The goal of the rule is for animal operations to be managed such that animal waste is not discharged to surface waters of the state. The rule allows animal waste systems to be "deemed permitted" if certain minimum criteria are met (15A NCAC 2H .0217). By submitting this registration you have met one of the criteria for being deemed permitted. We would like to remind you that existing feedlots which meet the size thresholds listed in the rule, and any new or expanded feedlots constructed between February 1, 1993 and December 31, 1993 must submit a signed certification form (copy enclosed) to DEM by December 31, 1997. 'New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must obtain signed certification before animals are stocked on the farm. Certification of an approved animal waste management plan can be obtained after the Soil and Water Conservation Commission adopts rules later this year. We appreciate you providing us with this information. If you have any question about the new nondischarge rule, please contact David Harding at (919) 733-5083. enc: Sincerely, I)a4L� /-n Steve Tedder, Chief Water Quality Section P.O.

JHG:Evans.Oct cc: David Harding Wilmington Regional Office Files Central Files DA-, LJ ,.,.. .14 I__ —.Dear _Sir:... .— I I have received the Victor Evans' swine 143-215.1(a)(1). Victor C. Evans (Wno 7851 Hwy 53 E Burgaw NC 28425 letter assessing the civil penalty against farm for violation of NC General Statute 1. I am requesting a remission of the civil penalty that has been assessed against the Evans swine farm as outlined in the letter Section 2.: (b). The violation was stopped within 24 hours. (c). The violation was a result of a flood of the whole general area. Because of the flood the area was designated a disaster area by the governor. (e). The payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the necessary remedial actions. 2. I also.stipulate that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute that I am aware of. I would also like to say that I am not trying nor have tried to evade any requirements for the operation of this hog facility. 3. The violation was promptly stopped and no continuing environmental damage has occurred. The inspector informed me what I had to do and to report in writing the completion to his office. This was done in the time frame given. The inspector/investigator suggested that I contact the County Conservation Service, a Mr. Wilson Spenser, and get his advice and counsel on what had to be done and how to do it. This I did and he gave me an outline of the requirements. He told me at this time that rules and regulations were being issued around the first of the year in 1993 that would spell out all the requirements for disposing of the waste water from the holding pond. Mr. Spencer sent his assistant out and surveyed and gave me several alternatives in which to meet the requirements in disposing of the excess waste water from the holding pond. He suggested that I use the cost -share agreement to plant the necessary acerage in coastal bermuda grass. That agreement has been signed to plant approximately eight acres. \y . • 2 He also suggested several methods to irrigate the field with the waste water from the holding pond. He also told me of the requirements that would go into effect in Jan. 1993 that all waste water would have to be applied to growing crops. The cost of a simple system to irrigate the field with the waste water had to be our first consideration. A vendor was located — ----- he----surveyed--the--€acility--and --recommended—an ---in-ground—spray --- - system that was in use on several other farms and gave me an estimated cost. We were forced to choose a system where I could purchase the parts and do a lot of the installation work ourselves. This system is estimated to cost more than $5000.00 and this does not include any special labor requirements or equipment such as a backhoe, trencher, etc..... I have arranged for a loan to help me with the .-cost through the Cape Fear Credit Asc., which further mortgages my farm. To help with the planting of the coastal bermuda grass, the Soil Conservation Service pay up to $137.00 per acre in cost share money. 4. The cause of this violation was because of the flood which occured in Pender County, Aug. 1992 and is well documented. My farm was approximately 60% under water from the overflow of Shelter Creek and the North East Cape Fear River. In order for me to reach my hog house we had to use a boat. The flood water flooded the hog house and the holding pond. For a period of about four days our hogs were standing in water. When the flood water receeded the holding pond was left with an overflow. A portable pump and field application was used to remove the excesss water fromthe holding pond. The permanent solution will be in accordance with (15A NC AC 2H 02 17C). 5. The Soil Conservation Service has scheduled a meeting the 22 of Feb. 1993 to go over the requirements for intensive swine operations in Pender County. He will also spell out how and when these operations must comply with tjag ales . nn�regulations issued by the Division of Environmental o Summary: wPl do The Victor Evans Swine Farm -operation ds�Ps whatever- is required to comply with the rules and regulations that is within my means and capabilities. I wish to stress that the payment of the civil penalty will prevent the Evans Swine Farm from completing the necessary remedial action. It is with respect that I submitt this request for remission of the civil penalties against the Evans Swine farm be granted, with the requirement that an approved system and plan be installed and carried out by rules and regulations issued by DEM on Jan. 6, 1993 or other actions -that may be necessary for this swine operation to be in full compliance.
