SUBJECT:' Removal from Registration
Facility Number 3-25

Dear Mr. Fender:
have received reports that you are operating above the threshold limit of 100 cows
at your farm. I have enclosed a copy of a letter dated October 24, 1997 from the Division of
Water Quality which indicates that you requested removal from the registration list and
indicated that you would permanently remain under the threshold number. If you are, in fact,
over the threshold you are required to obtain an approved animal waste management plan that
covers the minimum criteria for design, construction, operation, and maintenance. A
completed certification form signed by a designated technical specialist must be submitted to
DWQ before the additional animals are stocked at the feedlot.
Operating above the threshold without a Certified Animal Waste Management Plan is
a violation to Title 15A, NC Administrative Code 2H .0217 and could subject you to
enforcement action. with the possible assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day per
violation.
Please call me at [phone] ext. 271 to schedule a time and day in which 1 can
determine the status of your compliance with the Title A North Carolina Administrative Code
2H .0200 regulations. If you are operating above the threshold we can discuss what your
options are. If you are operating below the threshold number I still need to visit your farm
to confer that you are in compliance. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Jenny Rankin
Environmental Technician

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 $ 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
Confined Cattle 100
Horses 75
Sheep 1,000
Poultry with a liquid wastes tem 30,000
If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sue Homewood of our staff
