DIMION OF ENVIRONMENTAL
MANAGEMENT
As you are aware, an inspection of the animal waste handling facilities at your dairy
operation was conducted by Abner Braddy of this Office on November 20, 1995. Specifically,
the inspection was conducted to determine the status of your compliance with Title 15A, North
Carolina Administrative Code 2H .0200 regulations, which govern wastewater disposal systems
which do not discharge to surface waters of the State.
Animal waste management systems which comply with the .0200 regulations are "deemed
permitted" by this Division, and thus, are not required to apply for individual permits for
operation. The primary factor in assessing compliance with the regulations is whether or not
a discharge of pollutants occurs from the facilities during any rain event less severe than a 25
year storm. A 25 year storm is a storm of such severity, that it can statistically be expected to
recur but once every 25 years. A 25 year storm in Davidson County would amount to any
rainfall of 6 inches or greater within a 24 hour period. You should be aware, however, that
because the weather data used to compile what is a 25 year storm covers many years, it is
possible to experience 25 year storms on two consecutive days. Likewise, you could receive
5 inches of rain one day, and 5 inches the next, and neither would constitute a 25 year storm.
On the date of the inspection, a discharge pipe from the milk barn was observed. The
pipe conveys wash-up water from the milk barn to the unnamed tributary of Lick Creek which
is piped beneath the barn. The wash-up water is considered a wastewater, requiring a permit
from this Division prior to its discharge.

You indicated that you are strongly considering going out of the dairy business. Should
this prove to be the case, such that you no longer use the milking facilities, the discharge would
be eliminated. If you continue to use the facility, however, the discharge of wastewater to the
creek must be eliminated.
You are hereby notified that the discharge of wastewater without benefit of a permit from
this Division is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 (a) 1. The enforcement
remedies available to the Division for violations of the previously referenced statute can be found
at North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.6 A, B, and C, and include civil penalties, criminal
penalties, and/or injunctive relief. The civil penalties for the violation may be as high as
$10,000.00 = dU, = yam. You may also lose your "deemed permitted" status, requiring
submittal of an individual nondischarge permit application to DEM, as only those facilities who
have no discharge except during a 25 year storm can be deemed permitted.
You should immediately contact your local Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS) office at [phone] for technical assistance on how to handle the wastewater
generated from your operation. You are required to respond to this Office in wnting by
January 31, 1996, advising us of what corrective actions have been or will be initiated to prevent
any future illegal discharges. If you fail to respond to this Notice of Violation by the specified
date, a follow-up inspection will be conducted, and formal enforcement action against you may
be initiated.
Should you have questions on this matter, contact Abner Braddy or Steve Mauney at
[phone].
Sincerely,
