Dear Joseph Stilwell:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your permit application submitted on November 7, 2000. A site
inspection conducted by the Division of Water Quality indicated that your operation's animal population does not
exceed the number set forth by §143-215.108(1), and therefore does not require coverage under the Swine
Waste Operation General Permit.
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 and a permit from the Division of Water Quality prior to any
construction and/or stocking animals to that level. Threshold numbers of animals are as follows:
Swine
250
Confined Cattle
100
Horses
75
Sheep
1,000
Poultry witha liquid wastes stem
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.

Dear Mr. Stilwell:
The'Non-Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the
subject application. Additional information is required before we can continue our review. Please
address the following by January 3, 2001:
Based on data presented in your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP), the "Amount of Plant
Available Nitrogen (PAN) produced per year" of 2,340 pounds of N (WUP page 2) is
greater than the calculated "Pounds of Animal Waste Nitrogen" used of 623.28 pounds of
N per year (WUP page 3). It appears additional crop acreage is needed to adequately
utilize the PAN produced on your farm. Please correct this inconsistency in your plan
and correct your field map to include this acreage.
2. Please provide a clearer map that identifies (outlines or highlights) and shows the acreage
for each field to be used for waste application. Include the additional acreage requested
in Item 1, above.
3. Please provide an irrigation design for irrigation system used on fields 3, 4 and 5.
Irrigation application was noted for these fields on page 7 of WUP. If additional fields
are added to WUP, please include them on page 7, as well.
Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the
technical specialist.

Thanks for the information. This tells me a lot. I'm not sure how this animal op info gets into the GIS

Larry, I just called Callie and had to leave a voice mAil.
Regarding her questions:
#2. His design capacity is for 90 sows and their pigs. He just completed and sent in his waste plan to
Raleigh about a week ago so I don't know what his available acreage is in the plan since I have not seen
his completed plan..... Raleigh doesn't send us a copy until the farmer is sent their certificate of coverage
or permit. When I inspected him about two months ago he did not have any sows ..... just 150 baby pigs
he was finishing out for the sows that had already been sold. He is selling off his stock ..... says he may
want to get out totally. I'm not sure where the 1 156 number came from. None of the inspections since
1996 have him over 90 sows. ???? I referred Callie to Warren Mincey for specific questions since
Warren's office just worked with him on his plan.
#3. My feeling is that the pasture vs. row crops is 50150 but that is only a guess. Again, I referred her to
Warren for this question as well as info regarding sediment and non -point pollution sources.

Hi Larry,
I'm working on use support for the Roanoke River basin and have a few
questions and things that could use a little follow-up on in your
region.
(1) Skokes County: I need to know for sure whether an impoundment was
built on upper Town Fork Creek in the vicinity of SR 1961. We have 1995
special study benthic data that I need to use. Also, any thoughts on
why a sample rated Poor in the upper portion? The Hriarwood Subdivision
WWTP DMRs look good and I think it's too small to impact Town Fork Creek
down where the sample was taken. I can FAX a map, if you need it.
(2) Caswell County: There is a swine operation (farrow to finish)
! of 2 5/10/2000 8:35 AM

Re: [Fwd: Roanoke basin use support]
called Stillwell Farm on E. Prong Moon Creek NW of Yanceyville. In GIS
it says the design capacity. is 90, but the average population is 1156?
It says they only have 40 acres available to spray on. Could someone
let me know if this is a problem facility? In my mind, it looks like it
would be! The Cert. # is E007516, if that's helpful.
(3) Also in Caswell County: We have very little data during this round
of sampling. If any of you can give me any feedback on the Country Line
Creek, Moon Creek, or Rattlesnake Creek watersheds, I'd gladly accept
it. Is there a lot of pasture or row crops -- do you feel like there's
a lot of nonpoint source pollution in terms of sediment? How about
Yanceyville -- does runoff from the town impact Rattlesnake Creek
heavily? Anything you can think of in terms of potential cause/sources
of pollution in these watersheds.
Thanks so much for your help! I really need info back before next
Friday (12th). We're behind since Andrea changed positions.

Subject: Notice of Violation
Animal Operation Site Inspection
Stillwell Farm, Facility # 17-03
Caswell County
Dear Mr. Stillwell:
Melissa Rosebrock and Jenny Rankin of this Office conducted a site
inspection at your facility on March 29, 2000. Although the final lagoon level was
adequate, there are other concerns that warrant your immediate attention.
Staff noted that the information in your records was not complete.
Specifically, a soil analysis was not performed for yearl999. Please note that
waste and soil analysis, once obtained, should be kept for a minimum of five
years. Failure to have complete records is a violation of North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.10C.
Records provided to inspectors indicated that waste had been applied to
fescue in June of 1999. The months of application listed in your waste utilization
plan were February through May. Please note that Waste Utilization Plans are to
be adhered to unless you contact the Caswell County Field Office to have this
section amended.
Additionally, trees need to be cut off the dams of lagoons #1 (behind the three
houses) and #3 (eastside of final lagoon). While the presence of vegetative growth
did not appear to be causing an immediate threat to the environment, their
continued growth may eventually compromise the integrity of the dams.
Finally, this office is concerned that a signed Waste Utilization Plan (WUP)
has not been submitted to Raleigh for review. It is our understanding that a WUP
was developed for you by the Caswell Field Office and only requires your
signature for its submittal. Note again that, failure to have complete records is a
violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.10C. We have sent a copy
of this correspondence to the Division of Water Quality Non -discharge
Compliance and Enforcement Unit in Raleigh. We urge you, therefore, to v
submit the signed WUP immediately.

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 ace 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, DRY I, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR I, SLUR2,
SLD],`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

Animal Waste Management System
Stilwell Farm
Facility Number 17-3
Caswell County
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Ron Linville on 5/28/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility
that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the
following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X". .
Category 1:
❑ The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Ron Linville the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Ron Linville, at 585 Waughtown Street,
Winston-Salem, NC 27107, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any
questions please contact Ron Linville at [phone]. If within 90 days you are unable
to provide Ron Linville with the information you are automatically required to
complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within
180 days of receipt of this letter.

Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Page 2
Category 2:
Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next
180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if'the form is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
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 Sonya Avant of our

CERTIFIED MAIL #P7536-305 476
RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Mr. Joseph Stilwell
2659 Foster Rd.
Yanceyville, NC 27379
SUBJECT: Notice of Deficiency
Stilwell Farm No. 17-03
Caswell County
Dear Mr. Stilwell:
As you are aware, Ron Linville, Tom Yokum and Hamid Rafiee of this
office inspected your swine farm in Caswell County on May 28, 1999. The
inspection was conducted in order to determine compliance with your
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
observations at the site revealed that some concerns need to be
resolved concerning the swine farm and the farm's operational
documentation. Extensive weed growth on the dam of the #1 lagoon needs to
be managed in order to allow easy viewing of the dam structure and to
reduce the chance that groundhog burrowing might impact the integrity of
the dam. A groundhog burrow was found in the middle of the dam near the
pumping marker pipe. The wettable acres determination needs be
recalculated to insure adequate application of wastewater due to the
portable system being utilized and a modification in some of the field
usages. During the visit, a Certificate of Coverage for the farm could
not be found. To our knowledge, a non -discharge permit for the facility
has not been received or requested at this time. The inspectors were very
much concerned about record keeping at the farm. There appeared to be
bits and pieces of the required documentation; however, they were not
sufficient to ascertain whether or not the facility is in compliance with
the WUP.
Please be advised that the above issues are significant and they need
to be corrected without delay. The Division will reschedule another visit
to your facility within the next 90 days to determine if these issues have
been resolved satisfactorily.

Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 91gn33-0026.
