RE: Request for Rescission of NC DEQ AFO Permit # AWCO10012, Lindley Dairy Inc., Alamance County
Dear Mr. Ravella:
As the permittee, owner, and operator of Lindley Dairy Inc. in Alamance County, I am respectfully
requesting immediate rescission of the North Carolina DEQ Animal Feeding Operation (AFO) permit
corresponding to the following information:
Facility: Lindley Dairy Inc.
Permittee: W Joe Lindley
Permit # AWC010012
The population of the dairy was reduced to under 100 cows in November of 2017 and has remained
under 100 cows since then. The dairy now has 65 cows (+/- 10) and will continue to depopulate as we
transition to a pasture based beef operation. It is my intention to eventually close the structure to NRCS
standards when it is no longer needed. I understand if the dairy is restarted or repopulated I will be
required to apply for a new permit through the Animal Feeding Operations Program prior to operating.
Please send confirmation of rescission of this permit to my home address provided above. I appreciate
your timely response to this matter. If there are any questions, additional information, or actions
required to fulfill this request, please contact me immediately at ( 336-263-5275). Thank you for your
assistance.
Sincerely,
W Joe Lindley
