Dear W.C. Anders:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your request that your facility no longer be registered as an active 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 S10,000 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 that 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
at [phone] ext 502.

Regional office
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission
on Agricultural Waste, was ratified by the North Carolina General Assembly on June 21, 1996.
This bill required that a properly certified operator be designated as the Operator in Charge 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.
The deadline for designating an Operator in Charge for animal waste management systems
involving cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry was January 1, 1997. Because a training and
certification program was not yet available for these systems, you were allowed to apply for and
were issued a temporary animal waste management certificate from the Water Pollution Control
System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC). Because you applied for and were
issued a temporary certificate, you were allowed to be designated as the Operator in Charge of an
animal waste management system.
Your temporary certificate expires December 31, 1997, and is not renewable. Our records indicate
that you have not obtained a permanent animal waste management system operator certification. If
you intend to remain the Operator in Charge of the facility for which you were designated, you must
obtain a permanent animal waste management system operator certification of the appropriate type
before your temporary certification expires on December 31, 1997. To obtain a permanent
certification, you must be 18 years of age, complete ten hours of approved training, and pass an
examination. If you do not intend to remain the Operator in Charge, a properly certified animal
waste management system operator must be designated as Operator in Charge of the facility prior to
the expiration of your temporary certification.
This year's final training program for both Type A and Type B animal waste management systems
is scheduled for December 10 and 11, 1997, at the Hunt Horse Complex in Raleigh. If you would
like information about this training program, please contact your local cooperative extension agent
or call Dee Ann Cooper at 919/515-6968. For those enrolled in this training and registering with
Ms. Cooper prior to December 1, an exam will be offered at the Hunt Horse Complex on December
11, beginning at 1:00 pm.

In addition to the training and testing at the Hunt Horse Complex, examinations for permanent
certification will be offered on December 11, 1997, in Williamston, Kenansville, Raleigh
(Wake Tech), Wentworth, Salisbury and Morganton. This examination date will be the last
opportunity to obtain permanent certification before your temporary certification expires. if you
need additional information or have questions concerning the examinations for certification, please,
call Beth Buffington at 919/733-0026. For additional information about other training
opportunities, please contact your local cooperative extension agent or call David Crouse at

SUBJECT: Removal from Registration
Facility Number 3-22
Alleghany County
Dear Mr./Mrs. Crouse:
I 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 September 17, 1996 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 I 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,
RoMkvyl
