Zero Animal Waste Permit
To whom it may concern:
I am requesting a zero animal permit for permit number AWC760052. We have not
operated this facility since November of 2019. We have repurposed the free stall barn to store
hay and equipment. The waste storage pond still exists and is being monitored, but nothing
other than rainfall has entered the pond. We have built berms and sealed pipes that led to
the pond. We have not pumped out of this pond since the fall of 2019. We still have the ability
to pump but that has not been an issue so far. There are currently no funds available to close
the waste storage pond even with cost sharing. My only option is continue to monitor. The
waste storage pond itself is in good shape and is being maintained.
Sincerely,
Michael Beeson
