#01-03.........did some more checking. This one is milking about 25 cows and has those plus 5 dry cows
that have waste being scraped into the waste pond and has about 100 more heifers out on pasture. The
grade A milk is being picked up by MDNA Dairy Producers Cooperative and averages about 8001bs. per
day. This is about 32 lbs. per cow.......low but not unrealistic for that type of operation in late June.
Bottom line is.....he's below 100 milking/confined and doesn't need a permit or CAWMP. Thanks for your
help Sue. Rocky, let me know if you need more information.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 1-3
Alamance County
Dear Randall Lewis:
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. IRR1, 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
DWQ staff at (919) 733-5083 ext. 571.

Dear Randall Lewis:
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 anima]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. Anv 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 S 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 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
Conftned 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
