Technical guidance on CAFOs is published by EPA

The EPA has published a technical guidance entitled “Managing Manure at Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs).” The guidance is for NPDES permit authorities, permittees, and technical service providers who implement EPA's February 2003 revisions to the permit regulations and effluent guidelines for CAFOs.  The 2003 regulations reflected cooperation between EPA and USDA to help livestock and poultry producers meet their goals for environmental quality and profitability. You can find the guidance document on EPA's web site at www.epa.gov/guide/cafo.
