Harmony, NC 28634 Ramesh Ravella Program Manager Animal Feeding Operations Program Division of Water Resources North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality 1636 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1636 RE: Request for Rescission of NCDEQ AFO Permit Dear Mr. Ravella: As the permittee, owner, and operator of Ha -Ho Farms in Iredell County, I am respectfully requesting immediate rescission of the North Carolina DEQ Animal Feeding Operation (AFO) permit corresponding to the following information: Facility: Ha -Ho Farms Permittee: Roy Neal Grose - Permit #: AWC490025 The population of the dairy was reduced to under 100 cows during 2006 and will continue to remain that way under my ownership. It is my intention to utilize the structure for irrigation of "fresh water", since the only water entering it is surface run-off. Currently, the adjacent barn is used seasonally for beef cows (less than 40) that are on pasture. There is little possibility of reopening the dairy. 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 704-657-4835. Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely, Roy Neal Grose cc: Michael Meilinger, Mooresville Regional Office, NC DEQ
