You can make NCG530068 (Craigs), 0080 (Parker), 0106 Gourmet inactive.
NCG530081 sent you a rescission request on 9/14/16 (see below)
Hemac Inc is apparently under new ownership. Debra Sloan <[e-mail]> works with trout farms and
might be able to provide the new owner's contact information.
Cruso Farm; phone number on file has been disconnected. No fish in the farm as of 2016; We can do a driveby to see if
it is still inactive.
121 Holder was an active operation in 2016; 1 left a voicemail at 828 479-8998 to confirm he is still in operation.

Mr Weaver:
I am choosing to rescind my permit # NCG530081 as I am no longer operating the farm at its previous production levels.
Current levels of production are well below the levels that would require a permit.
Please feel free to contact me regarding any questions.

The NCG53 renewals are complete except for these trout farms (attached]. I'd greatly appreciate your
recommendations on how to proceed.
For the sites where the ARO suggested rescission at the 2016 inspections, we can simply make them Inactive if nothing
has changed.
Have a great Thanksgiving, and let me know how we should proceed.

Site was inspected on August 10, 2016 by Kevin Mitchell and Tim Fox with the Asheville Regional
Office. The owner was not present during the inspection and was unable to be reached.
The site visit began with an evaluation of the intake structure followed by observations of the raceways
and an evaluation of the effluent channel. Minimal flow from the river was entering the intake structure.
No trout were observed in the raceways and according to the tenant on the property the facility has not
been in operation since 2002. The effluent channel was observed below the facility and did not appear
to be impacting water quality in the receiving stream.
The cement raceways have not been maintained and appear to be unstable. Several leaks were noted
along the length of the raceways. The Division recommends that if there are no plans for the facility to
remain in operation, the intake structure should be sealed off to prevent damage downstream.

permit after the expiration and has not requested renewal at least 180 days prior to expiration, will be subjected to
enforcement procedures as provided in NCGS § 143-215.6 and 33 USC 1251 et. seq.
