RE: Request for Rescission of INC DEQ AFO Permit AWC 30-22; Blackwelder Farms; Davie County
Dear Mr. Ravella:
As the permittee, owner, and operator of the Blackwelder Farms in Davie County, I am respectfully
requesting immediate rescission of the North Carolina DEQ Animal Feeding Operation (AFO) permit
corresponding to the following information:
- Facility: Blackwelder Farms

The depopulation and full shutdown of the dairy was completed during the month August 2021. The
closure of the structure to NRCS standards was completed on December of 2023. 1 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 immediately at (enter phone number here). Thank you
for your assistance.
