Recission Prior to Closure.pdf
Ka itlyn,
Attached are documents relating to Clifford's permitting options. In summary:
1) He can keep his current cattle permit, keep records, be inspected, pay permit renewal fees, maintain operator certification
(pay $10 and obtain renewal credit hours), etc.
OR
2) He can request a Zero Animal Permit which means that records must still be kept, he is inspected, but there is NO fee for the
permit and he is NOT required to have a certified operator. Clifford would need to submit a request in writing. See attached
examples of request letter and the type of permit that is issued.
OR
3) He can request to have his permit rescinded if there has been less than 100 cattle for three (3) years. This is a relatively new
law which only applies to cattle farms. Application and freeboard records must still be kept and available until the waste
structure is closed. No inspections. See attached document regarding House Bill 74. If he ever has over 100 cattle in the future he
would be considered a new operation, and subject to whatever standards and laws are applicable at that time (i.e. no
grandfathering of setbacks, WSP criteria, etc.)
look forward to getting together on March 12 @ 1pm to discuss. Clifford would you like me to mail you hard copies of the
attachments?
Let me know if you need anything.
Melissa

Re: Zero Animal Permit
Ms. Watts:
I am requesting a zero animal permit for . We have not operated this
facility since 20o8. Two of the 6 buildings are destroyed, the other 4 have been repurposed for hay
storage, shelter and fodder production. Flush tanks have been removed and flush pits and pipes to
the first stage lagoon have been sealed. Lagoons still exist and are monitored, but nothing other than
the rain that falls has entered them since 2oo8 and nothing has been pumped out during that time
period. I still have the ability to apply if needed, but that has not been an issue so far. The last water
sample was N=.017, taken in 2oo8. There are currently no funds available to close these lagoons even
with cost sharing. My only option is to continue to monitor. The lagoons themselves are in good
shape and are being maintained.
Sincerely,
Road
