Facility Number 85-3
Surry County
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 and contact the Division of
Water Quality prior to stocking animals. 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 stem
30,000
If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sonya Avant of our

Facility Number: 86-3
Surry County
In accordance with State Regulations (15A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1)(E)) adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission on February 1, 1993, the owner of the subject facility was required to submit a
Certification Form for the facility's animal waste management system by December 31, 1997.
This letter is to advise you that this office has no record of having received the required Certification for
the subject facility. Please provide this office with an explanation as to why this Certification was not
submitted as required. This explanation must be received within 30 days following the receipt of this letter.
Any existing facility owner which did not submit the required certification by the deadline is no longer
deemed permitted to operate their animal waste management system. Therefore, if the certification was not
submitted as required and the facility is still in operation, this facility is being operated without a valid
permit. N.C.G.S. 143-215.6(b) allows the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources to take appropriate enforcement actions for this violation for as long as the violation continues.
As per Senate Bill 1217, which was ratified on June 21, 1996, the Environmental Management
Commission (EMC) may enter into a special agreement with facilities that did not meet the December 31,
1997 deadline. These special agreements can only be issued to facility owners which signed up for assistance
with their local Soil and Water Conservation District Office by September 1, 1996 and which can
demonstrate that they made a good faith effort to meet the December 31, 1997 deadline. The special
agreement, if issued, would contain a specific schedule for the facility to follow to develop and/or implement
an approved animal waste management plan. Attached is an application for a special agreement between the
EMC and the subject facility. If you can demonstrate that this facility can meet the conditions for a special
agreement, you may send this request along with your explanation as to why the plan has not been developed
and implemented. This request would also be due within 30 days from receipt of this letter.

100 head of cattle
75 horses
250 swine
1000 sheep
30,000 birds with a liquid system
Please submit this form if the subject facility is not operating or is below the threshold limit established in 15A

Once your response is received, it will be evaluated in detail along with any supporting information that
you may wish to subnut. Following this review, you will be advised of the results of the review and of any
additional actions that must be taken to bring your facility into compliance.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with the requirement to develop and implement a certified animal waste
management plan by December 31, 1997. Please also be advised that the submittal of a request for a special
agreement does not assure that one will be issued. Each facility will be reviewed on a case by case basis and
appropriate actions will be taken to brine each facility into compliance.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this issue. If you have any questions concerning this matter,

SUBJECT: Notice of Violation
Designation of Operator in Charge
Benny & Fred Snow Farm
Facility Number 86--3
Surry County
You were notified by letter dated December 5, 1996, that you were required to designate a certified animal waste
management system operator as Operator in Charge for the subject facility by January 1, 1997. Enclosed with that
letter was an Operator in Charge Designation Form specifically for your facility, Instructions for Completing
Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator, and an Application for
Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator. Our records indicate that these
completed Forms have not yet been returned to our office.
As was explained in the previous letter, a training and certification program is not yet available for animal waste
management systems involving cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry (with a liquid waste system). Therefore owners of
these systems were allowed to request that they be issued temporary certifications until December 31,•1997. All that
was required to receive this temporary certification was the completion of the Application Form.
For you convenience, we are sending you additional copies of the Operator in Charge Designation Form specifically
for your facility, Instructions for Completing Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste
Management System Operator, and an Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management
System Operator. Please return this completed Form to this office as soon as possible but in no case later than April
25, 1997. This office maintains a list of certified operators in your area if you need assistance in locating a certified
operator.
Please note that failure to designate an Operator in Charge of your animal waste management system, is a violation
of N.C.G.S. 90A-47.2 and you will be assessed a civil penalty unless an appropriately certified operator is designated.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as absolving you of the responsibility and liability for
any past or future violations for your failure to designate an appropriate Operator in Charge by January 1, 1997.
If you have questions concerning this matter, please contact our Technical Assistance and Certification Group at
(919)733-0026.

Dear Mr. Snow:
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 Barry Huneycutt at 919/733-0026.
Sincerely,
FOR

SUBJECT: Notice of Violation
Failure to Certify a New Animal Waste Management System
and Land Application Run-off.
Surry County
Dear Mr. Snow:
On March 14, 1996 Allan Smith and Beth Morton of this office responded to a
complaint about run-off transporting manure into the streams and ponds near your animal
operation. The concern was that an excessive amount of manure had been land applied to a
corn field and that much of the waste was washing into the ponds. Samples were collected
and it was documented that one of your neighbor's pond was polluted with animal waste.
A second visit was conducted by Allan Smith and personnel from the Surry County
Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) on March 21, 1996. A message had been
left on your phone recorder that a site visit was planned on this day in the hopes that you
would be present for the meeting to discuss the possibility of your facility contaminating the
nearby waterways; however, no one was at the farm site at the time of the inspection. The
pond located below the corn field was inspected again as was the pond located below your
feeding/loafing shed. Both ponds had murky water and a strong, animal waste smell.
During the visit it was discovered that the NRCS had not certified your new animal
waste management system. New animal waste management systems are defined as those
systems serving a feedlot that was built after February 1, 1993, or that was abandoned for
four years or longer and is being put back into production. For any new or expanding animal
waste management systems, you must obtain an approved waste management plan and submit
certification of that plan to the Division of Environmental Management (DEM) before
585 Wauphtown Street, Winston-Salem. North Carolina 27107-2241 Telephone 91D-771-4600 FAX 910-771-4631

animals are stocked. The mandatory fine for failure to certify an operation before stocking
animals is $1000. If you have any questions about the certification process you should
contact Dick Everhart with the Surry County MRCS. If you have any questions about the
enforcement proceedings when a facility fails to certify its operation prior to stocking animals
you should contact the Compliance Group in Raleigh at (919) 733-5083 (ask for Dianne
Wilburn or Bob Sledge).
A certified animal waste management system addresses the concerns of properly
disposing of animal waste products. Certified systems incorporate Land Applicators who are
certified by the State of North Carolina. These certified Land Applicators must apply manure
at an agronomical rate and only in acceptable locations which should reduce, if not prevent,
concerns about animal waste getting into the Waters of the State.
You are required to respond in writing to our Winston-Salem Regional Office on or
before April 12, 1996 concerning the operation of an animal waste management system
without proper certification. If you have questions or concerns please do not hesitate to
contact Allan Smith or Steve Mauney at the Winston-Salem Regional Office.

SUBJECT: Animal Waste Operation Inspection
Facility No. 86-3
Surry County
Dear Mr. Snow:
An inspection of the animal waste handling facilities at your farm was conducted on July 24, 1995 by Allan
Smith of this office and Greg Goings of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS). The inspection was
conducted to determine the status of your compliance with Title 15 A, North Carolina Administrative Code 2H .0200
regulation, which govern wastewater disposal systems which do not discharge to surface waters of the State.
Your facility does not have a structure to hold animal wastes yet it has a Concentrated Animal Feedlot
(CAF) Designation. Cattle farms with a feedlot designed for 100 or more cows must follow the appropriate
registration, approval, and certification procedures for existing, new, or expanded waste management systems,
including land application of animal wastes. You should talk to the NRCS if you have any ,questions about this.
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, 24-hour storm. Since there is a ditch
which runs from the CAT directly to a small stream below the confinement area, virtually any rain event would carry
pollutants to the -stream. As you are aware, your operation has already received a Notice of Violation (NOV) for
Discharge of Wastewater without a Permit in February, 1993. The next violation will undoubtedly result in an
Enforcement by the State with fines up to $5,000 per day per violation.
It is the understanding of this Office that family considerations have been a hindrance in building a suitable
waste holding area. However, during the discussion on the day of inspection it was noted that those problems have
been solved and that a new barn/feeding area/lagoon is to be constructed. NRCS is to be involved with this project.
Should you have any concerns or questions regarding this matter, please contact NRCS or the Winston-
Salem Regional Office.
Sincerely,
