Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission on
Agricultural Waste, was enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly on June 21, 1996. This bill
requires that a certified operator be designated as the Operator in Charge by January 1, 1997, 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. Our
records indicate that your facility is registered with the Division of Water Quality and meets the requirements
for designating an OIC.
A training and certification program is not yet available for animal waste management systems involving
cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry. Owners and operators of these systems will be issued temporary animal waste
management certificates by the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission
(WPCSOCC). The temporary certificates will expire December 31, 1997, and will not be renewed. To obtain
a permanent certification, you will be required to complete ten hours of training and pass an examination by
December 31, 1997. A training and certification program for operators of animal waste management systems
involving cattle, sheep, horses, and poultry is now being developed and should be available by the spring of
1997. The type of training and certification required for the operator of each system will be based on the nature
of the wastes to be treated and the treatment process(es) primarily used to treat the animal waste.
As the owner of an animal operation with an animal waste management system, you must designate an
Operator in Charge and must submit the enclosed designation form to the WPCSOCC. If you do not intend to
operate your animal waste management system yourself, you must designate an employee or engage a contract
operator to be the Operator in Charge. The person designated as the Operator in Charge, whether yourself or
another person, must complete the enclosed application form for temporary certification as an animal waste
management system operator. Both the designation form and the application form must be completed and
returned by December 31, 1996.
If you have questions about the new requirements for animal waste management system operators, please call
Beth Buffington or Bang Huneycutt at 91gn33-0026.
Sincerely,
Fd 4

Dear Dr. Stringer:

DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL
MANAGEMENT
-- Water Quality Section --
This letter is a follow-up to our conversation on October 30, 1995. As you are aware,
Rolling Hills Farm was registered as an animal operation with our Division prior to December
31, 1993. It is my understanding that you now Have approximately 34 cattle and 17 horses.
Registration of cattle and horse operations is only required if you have more that 100 cattle and
75 horses. Therefore, Rolling Hill Farm is not required by law to be registered at this time.
Attached you will find two form letters to remove your cattle and/or horse operations
from our computer list of registered animal operations in the State. If you are sure that the total
numbers of animals will not increase above the threshold numbers listed above, then please
complete, sign and date the appropriate form(s) and return them to the address on the envelope
provided. ••
I have also included a handout explaining the animal regulations. Should you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to give me a call at [phone].
Sincerely,
Michael M. Mickey
