Re: Gaston Farm 27-30 (06-0030) Site Plan Review - Amendment
Dear Ms. Lawson:
Smithfield Hog Production is seeking an amendment to the permit modification application of
AWS060030 submitted march of 2022. We are requesting that this project be covered under the
digester general permit. Please find attached the completed Digester General Permit form. The
construction drawings and CAWMP are unchanged.
Thank you for taking the time to review this project. Please contact me at [phone] or
[e-mail] if you have any questions or need additional information.
