Dear Ronnie Pendry:
JU N 0 3 1997
Winston -Slalom
Regional Office.
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.prior to stocking animals to that level. Threshold
numbers of animals which require certified animal waste management plans are as follows:
Swine 250
Confined Cattle 100
Horses 75
Sheep 1,000
IL Poultry with a liquid waste system 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.
Sincerely,
A. Preston Howard, Jr., P.E.

Operation Review Corrective AcFW"A i��WOn
Pendry's Dairy
Facility No. 99-20
Yadkin County
On May 13, an Operation Review was conducted of J.C. Smitherman Dairy, facility no. 99-1 B. This
Review, undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-215.10D, is one of two visits scheduled for all registered
livestock operations during the 1997 calendar year. The Division of Water Quality will conduct a second site
inspection.
During the Review, it was determined that waste was not being discharged to the waters of the State,
and the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and disposal systems were properly maintained and
operated under the responsible charge of a designated operator. However, the following management
deficiency was discovered and noted for corrective action: failure to install start pumping markers within the _
pond. This management deficiency needs to be addressed and corrected. You are encouraged to contact your —
certified
technical specialist if additional assistance is needed. During ensuing reviews, this same deficiency will
be re-examined to determine if corrective actions were implemented.
In order for your facility to remain in compliance with environmental regulations, animal waste cannot be
discharged into the waters of the State, and the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and disposal
systems must be properly maintained and operated under the responsible charge of a certified operator.
Please remember that you are required to obtain and implement an approved animal waste
management plan by the end of this year and have a certified operator. The plan must be certified by either a
designated technical specialist or a professional engineer. For additional assistance with the plan or the
certification course, please contact your local Soil and Water Conservation District Office or local Cooperative
Extension Service Office.
