July 1977 Runoff
Feedlot effluent limitations
guidelines proposed by the En
vironmental Protection Agency
(EPA) will affect most segments
of the concentrated livestock and
poultry production industries in
the nation, according to the U.S.
Department of Agriculture.
As differentiated from pasture
or rangeland conditions, the
proposed EPA regulations state
that “.... ‘feedlot’ shall mean a
concentrated, confined animal or
poultry growing operation for
meat, milk, or egg production, or
stabling, in pens or houses
wherein the animals or poultry
are fed at the place of confin
ement and crop production is not
sustained in the area of con
finement.”
In issuing the proposed effluent
limitations, EPA pointed out that
“water pollution from the feedlot
industry is almost wholly
predicated upon the occurrence
of a rainfall event which causes
surface runoff of manure. The
other potential source is from
discharges due either to the
wash-down or flushing of wastes
from pens, barns or other feedlot
facilities or overflows from
continuous flow watering
systems. Since the effect of
rainfall runoff is generally much
greater than these other sources
of discharge, it is the control of
runoff thereof which must
provide the baseline for effluent
limitations.”
The EPA proposal was
published in the Federal Register
of Sept. 7, 1973.
The proposed limitations are
tied to two dates.
By July 1, 1977, all beef cattle,
swine, dairy, sheep, and poultry
“feedlot” operations (except
ducks) will be required to have in
use the “best practicable control
technology available” to control
runoff.
The 1977 proposed standards
are based upon the “feedlot”
operator having storage capacity
for each operation which will
contain waste water plus the

Over 125 local businessmen and

Sportsmen’s Lodge was held

Control Deadline
runoff occurring from the highest
24-hour storm event reported
likely to occur in a 10-year period
based upon U. S. Weather Bureau
records for the local region.
By July 1, 1983, all “feedlot”
operations (including ducks) will
be required to have in use the
“best available technology
economically achievable” to
assure discharge of pollutants
from feeding operations.
The 1983 proposed standards
are based upon a storage
capacity for the “feedlot”
operations which will contain
waste water plus the runoff from
a 24-hour storm event likely to
occur in a 25-year period.
In addition, new facilities
constructed after these
regulations go into effect will be
required to have in use pollution
control facilities to meet the 1983
standards.
All “feedlot” operations will be
- expected to comply with these
standards. Under the provisions
of the National Pollution
Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES), large operators will
feel the effects of the guidelines
sooner because they are required
to register and obtain permits
which are based on the
guidelines. This proposal was
published in the Federal Register
of May 3, 1973.
All persons interested in
submitting written comments on
EPA’s proposed “feedlot”
regulations must do so not later
than October 9, 1973. Comments
should be submitted in triplicate
to the EPA Information Center,
Environmental 'Protection
Agency, Washington, D. C. 20460.
