Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 71-97.
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 sludgeslmsiduals, 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. IRRI, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, 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

COC No. AWS710097
Pender County, NC
The subject facility was issued a Certificate of Coverage (COC) on March 27, 1997 authorizing
the construction and operation of a new swine waste management system. You were sent a letter
(attached) on October 17, 1997 regarding changes in the Swine Farm Siting Act (Siting Act) and advised
to make changes to the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan to reflect these changes and submit
for approval. Our records show that you have received the October 17, 1997 letter but have not officially
responded to that letter to this date.
You are once again requested to submit by July 1, 1998998 a notification to this office whether the
farm was under construction on or before Aug. 27, 1997. If the farm was not under construction on or
before Aug. 27, 1997, then a revised Certified Animal Waste Management Plan must be submitted to
reflect the new siting requirements. Construction not in compliance with the Siting Act.is a violation of
State Statutes and could result in revocation of permit.

Permit Number: AWS710097
Pender County
In accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.10G, all animal operations who receive an animal
waste management system permit will be charged in each year of the term an annual permit fee. Annual permit fees are
billed following the issuance of the permit and then annually thereafter on the anniversary of that date. Your animal waste
management system permit was issued on 3/27/97.
Your annual permit fee for the period of 3/27198 - 3/26/99 is $50.00. Your payment was due 518/98. Because
this fee was not fully paid within 30 days after being billed, this letter initiates action to revoke the subject permit,
pursuant to 15 NCAC 2H .0205 (c) (4). and G.S. 143-215.1 (b) (3).
Effective 60 days from receipt of this notice, the subject permit is hereby revoked unless the required Annual
Animal Waste Management System Permit fee for your animal operation is received within that time. Operation of an
animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and is
subject to the assessment of a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day. Your payment should be sent to-

Dear Michael Craig Debose:
The subject facility was issued a Certificate of Coverage (COC) on 3/27/97 .authorizing the
operation of the animal waste collection, treatment, storage, and land application system in accordance
with General Permit No. AWG 100000. On Aug. 27, 1997 Governor Hunt signed into law the Clean
Water Responsibility Act. The Clean Water Responsibility Act included several changes to .the Swine
Faun Siting Act (Siting Act) including the requirement that all set back distances, be met for any swine
lagoon or swine house for which construction commences on or after the effective date of the Clean- Water
Responsibility Act (Aug. 27, 1997). Before the Siting Act was amended, it required the set back distances
be met at the time the.swine house or lagoon was sited. The change in siting requirements may apply to
your farm since - construction may not have commenced . by the effective date of the Clean Water
Responsibility Act.
Your farm was permitted prior to the effective date of the Clean Water Responsibility Act;
therefore, you meet one of the exceptions to the moratorium. However, the farm must be re-evaluated
and, if necessary, re -designed to meet the new requirements of the Siting Act to remain covered under the
General Permit. Within 15 days of the date of this letter, you are requested to submit, notification to the
Division of Water Quality whether the farm was under construction on or before Aug. 27, 1997.
If the farm was not under construction on or before Aug. 27, 1997, then a revised Certified Animal
Waste Management Plan must be submitted to reflect the new siting requirements. Construction not in
compliance with the Siting Act is a violation of State Statutes and the General Permit.

Subject: Classification of Animal Waste Management Systems
Facility: Debose Nursery
Facility ID #. 71-97
County: Pender
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study -Commission on
Agricultural Waste, was enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly on June 21, 1996. This bill
requires that a certified operator be designated as the Operator in Charge (OIC) by January 1, 1997, for each
animal waste management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or more
horses, 1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid animal waste management
system. Our records indicate that your facility is registered with the Division of Water Quality and meets
the requirements for designating an OIC.
A training and certification program is available for animal waste management system operators. For
information on the training programs please contact your local Cooperative Extension Agent. Operator
certifications are issued by the Water Pollution Control Systems Operators Certification Commission
(WPCSOCC). For information on the certification process, please contact the Technical Assistance and
Certification Unit at [phone]. The type of training and certification required for the operator of each
system is based on the.nature of the wastes to be treated and the treatment process(es) primarily used to -treat
the animal waste. There are two types of animal waste management systems, type A and type B. Type A
animal waste management systems are generally used to treat waste generated by monogastric animals
which produce a low -fiber waste. Type B animal waste management systems are generally used to treat
waste generated by ruminants and other animals which produce a high -fiber waste. The type of training and
certification an operator receives should correspond with the type of system(s) they intend to operate. For
more information on the classification of your system please contact the Technical Assistance and
Certification Unit.
As the owner of an animal operation with an•animal-waste management system, you must designate an
Operator in Charge and must submit the enclosed designation form to the WPCSOCC. If you do not
intend to operate your animal waste management system yourself, you must designate an employee or
engage a contract operator to be the Operator in Charge. The person designated as the Operator in Charge,
whether yourself or another person, must possess a currently valid certificate of the appropriate type.
