As the permittee,owner,and operator of the Billy Smith Farms Inc.in Alleehany County,I am
respectfully requesting immediate rescission of the North Carolina DEQ Animal Feeding Operation
(AFO)permit corresponding to the following information:

The population of the dairy was reduced to under 100 cows on April 2019-COWS SOLD 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
