1998 SESSION
HB 991 Confined animal feeding operations.
Introduced by: Mitchell Van Yahres | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Confined animal feeding operations. Modifies permitting requirements for confined animal feeding operations, which are currently covered by a general permit issued by the State Water Control Board. Operations covered by the general permit will be inspected annually by the Department of Environmental Quality instead of once every five years. Proper siting, design and construction of the operation's waste storage lagoon must be certified by a licensed professional engineer or appropriate government official. The owner or operator of the operation must notify neighbors of the proposed operation before submitting the registration statement for the general permit and the Department of Environmental Quality at least 14 days prior to animals being placed in the confined facility. Operators of confined animal feeding operations are required to attend training at least once every three years. The bill authorizes a civil penalty or injunction to be imposed for operating a confined animal feeding operation after July 1, 2000, without a permit. The civil penalty for violating a permit or not having a permit is limited to $2,500. This bill is identical to Senate Bill 661.
