SUMMARY:Public Input Mtg on Animal Waste Management Digester System General Permits
DESCRIPTION:DEQ holding Public Input Meeting on Animal Waste Management Digester System General Permits Dec. 14\nRALEIGH – The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will hold an online public input meeting on December 14 on the development of the new Animal Waste Management Digester System General Permits. Members of the public may participate online or by phone. \nDEQ is conducting this meeting as part of its commitment to a transparent public engagement process during the development of the general permits. In addition to this public meeting\, the Department will hold two technical stakeholder workgroup meetings in November and December. Stakeholders for the technical workgroups represent community groups\, environmental justice organizations\, environmental advocacy organizations\, state and federal agencies\, academia and industry. DEQ also plans to hold three public hearings in early 2022 to receive comments on the draft general permits as part of its public engagement process. \nEvent title: Public Input Meeting on Animal Waste Management Digester System General Permits\nDate and Time: Tuesday\, December 14\, 2021\, 6-9 p.m.\nWebex Link: https://bit.ly/3EA15Gn\nEvent Password: AFOPermit2021 (23673764 from phones)\nMeeting Number (Access Code): 2431 249 0753\nBy Phone: +1-415-655-0003 US TOLL \nMembers of the public who wish to speak at the December 14 meeting should sign up by 5 p.m. on December 13.

Note: Additional opportunities for public comments on the draft general permits will be announced in early 2022. \nCurrently\, digester systems are processed as modifications to a facility’s existing permit. Section 11 of the 2021 Farm Act (Senate Bill 605) established specific requirements for the development of the Digester System General Permits. The new general permit will include all of the existing and enforceable requirements of the 2019 State General Animal Waste Management Permits\, including developing and maintaining a Certified Animal Waste Management Plan\, and complying with siting\, buffer\, testing\, inspection and reporting requirements. \nThe Digester System General Permits stakeholder process will focus on permit conditions specific to the implementation of digesters. Summaries of the technical workgroup sessions will be posted online prior to the Public Input Meeting. The goal of this stakeholder process is to provide a meaningful opportunity for public engagement in the general permit development process. \nAdditional information and updates on the stakeholder process are available online.

To participate in either of these sessions (you only need to attend one)\, please fill out the following\, separate registration form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfDc1QwI-RW2CmkG7N07s7NSWn15qv6rUilC3vmpZOqhoYFMA/viewform?usp=sf_link \nIf you cannot attend one of these dates\, but wish to participate and provide feedback\, please indicate that on the form. A third option will be made available if there is sufficient interest\, and individual conversations can also be arranged. You can also use the registration form to provide your comments or questions.

SUMMARY:Information Sessions on draft permit for NC Renewable Power in Lumberton
DESCRIPTION:NC Renewable Power incinerates wood chips\, poultry litter\, and poultry cakes and produces electricity that is sold to Duke Energy. It is a highly polluting facility with major violations and  fines issued by NC DEQ. We are sharing this with you due to your interest in environmental and public health and environmental justice across North Carolina. \nThe two statewide informational sessions will be held at 11:00 am and 4:00 pm on Thursday\, February 17th. The Zoom Invite information is below.  \nWe are asking for local\, regional\, and statewide environmental organizations to: \n(1) support our local efforts to stand in opposition to the permit application of NC Renewable Power; \n(2) attend one of the information sessions on Thursday and learn about the facility\, its incineration process\, the pollution that it releases\, its plans to expand operations\, and the high number of violations\, fines\, and deficiencies that it has received for not keeping its state permit agreements; \n(3) attend and receive information about the DEQ Public Hearing on Monday\, call in information\, and how to sign up to make comments at the hearing.  \n(4) sign up to make a 2-3 minute comments  at the DEQ Public Hearing on Monday; and \n(5) organize constituencies across the state to attend the public hearing to indicate support for local residents in Robeson County and others throughout Eastern NC.    \nOur Eastern NC counties in the Sandhills and Coastal Plains are overburdened by unregulated and poorly regulated factory farms and the massive expansion of dirty industries that claim to be renewable.  They include what is inappropriately called “biomass” and “biogas”. As is said\, there’s nothing renewable and “bio” about these false solutions to the climate crisis but “bio harm”.   \nHere’s the zoom invite information for the optional meetings at 11:00 am and 4:00 PM this Thursday\, February 17th: \nTopic: NC Renewable Power and Public Hearing Information Sessions\nTime: Feb 17\, 2022 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM EST \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/3052705077?pwd=QXM1UG1peVFsS01hWHp6UVQyZUFzUT09\nMeeting ID: 305 270 5077\nPasscode: 963140 \nInformation to Review on NC Renewable Power  \nhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1-ezugSKeKYPr2jv6VQVPziM_xJwAU5BL6vwB_GAt2eQ/edit \nhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1-sVog6mCBugJHlS1_pJOYSqx4060zCWZistjKYNwXKw/edit \nhttps://coastalplainsadvocate.bulletin.com/is-this-the-solution-to-the-poultry-litter-problem \nNC Department of Environmental Quality Announcement of the Public Hearing\, Call-in information\, and information for signing-up to make comments \nhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1hPMu7LRYjqa1072i3cB-_Fytg2QIZS9mpxUFYe98apY/edit \nSubmitted by the Local Planning Team\nJeff Currie\, Lumber RiverKeeper\nDonna Chavis\, Friends of the Earth and RedTailed Hawk Collective\nMac Legerton\, Robeson County Cooperative for Sustainable Development
