The board, in a letter dated Sept. 27 to North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Secretary Elizabeth Biser, had sought the special meeting on the current request for the major air quality permit renewal in economically depressed Hertford County. The permit is required under Title V of the federal Clean Air Act.
