RE: Request for Recession of NCDEQ AFO Permit
Dear Mr. Ravella:
As the permittee, owner, and operator of the Bowman Dairy Farm in Guilford County, I am respectfully
requesting immediate rescission of the North Carolina DEQ Animal Operation (AFO) permit corresponding
to the following information:
- Facility : Bowman Dairy, Inc
- Permittee : Chris & David Bowman
- Permit# : AW1410018
The population of the dairy was reduced to under 100 cows in July 2019 and will continue to remain that
way under my ownership. It is my intention to eventually close the structure to NRCS standards. I
understand that if the dairy is restarted, 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 at 336-209-3709 or 336-430-5981.Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Chris Bowman
David Bowman
