Dear Keith & Connie Jones:

Reference is made to your request to rescind your permit along with a completed Animal
Waste Storage Pond and Lagoon Closure Report Form on October 4, 2023. Staff from
our Regional Office has confirmed that this Coverage is no longer required. Therefore, in
accordance with your request, Permit No. AWS310219 is rescinded, effective
immediately.

If, in the future, you wish again to operate an animal waste management system, you must
first apply for and receive a new animal waste permit Certificate of Coverage. Operating
an animal waste management system without a valid animal waste permit or Certificate of
Coverage will subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day.

Please contact the Wilmington Regional Office at [phone] if you have any
questions.

Sincerely,

for Richard E. Rogers, Jr
Director, Division of Water Resources
