PROMOTING COLLABORATIVE, INNOVATIVE LIVESTOCK WASTE MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY FOR WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT
Today there are thousands of Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) nationally that require an National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Producers and their technical service providers need specialized information and assistance with new technologies to resolve livestock waste management issues and address water quality concerns.
Collaborative watershed efforts focused on managing livestock waste need resources to help inform the public and the producers.
