SUBJECT: Rescission Request -Cessation of Operations
Application No. 4900180.23A
Fellfab Corporation
Facility ID: 4900180, Mooresville, Iredell County
Permit No. 05929R09
Dear Mr. James:
The Division of Air Quality initiated an application on January 5, 2023 for rescission of Permit
No. 05929R09 based an inspection conducted on January 5, 2023 as well as an email you sent
June 10, 2022 that indicated the facility would be permanently closing.
Based on information on file and the application 4900180.23A the facility has ceased operations
and no longer requires an air quality permit.
Therefore, in accordance with your request, Air Quality Permit No. 05929R09 is hereby
rescinded, effective the date of this letter. It should be noted that this exemption from permitting
does not exempt Fellfab Corporation from complying with any applicable standards.
Furthermore, should you decide to re-open the facility, and its operations result in emissions of air
pollutants, including toxic air pollutants, an Air Quality Permit may be required, and you are
required to notify this regional office prior to beginning these operations.
This exemption from the permitting requirement is based upon your statement that this facility has
been closed and is no longer operating. Please be advised that the operation of any air pollution
emission sources which require a permit without first receiving a permit is in violation of 15A
NCAC 2Q.0101, "Required Air Quality Permits." If this facility is required to obtain an Air
Quality permit in the future because of air emissions, each day of operation of emission sources

Denise, Jennifer
Fellfab (4900180 -small facility) has shut down.
I did a full inspection this summer. The facility was in the process of closing but they were still doing minimal
operations (June 2022 email below).
I just spoke with the Matt James by phone. He is the facility contact.
Matt stated as of Aug 25 they are completely out of the building and a new owner of the building has taken
over. I have driven by the facility several times and they appear closed (no cars, overgrown shrubs).
I will prepare an official closure report based on earlier emails and my recent conversation with Matt.

Matt,
Thanks. I will place an event on my calendar to touch base with you in mid-July. Before DAQ can rescind the
air permit, I will need to come back to the facility to make sure the equipment is disconnected and/or
removed.
If the equipment stops operating before mid-July, please let me know and we can make arrangements to meet
at the facility.
Thanks
