How many animals constitute a Large, Medium or Small CAFO?
Under the 2008 final CAFO rule, any CAFO that discharges or proposes to discharge is required to seek permit coverage. EPA is clarifying that “a CAFO proposes to discharge if it is designed, constructed, operated, or maintained such that a discharge will occur.” Application forms for a CAFO permit • Form 1 (PDF, 15 pp) • Form 2B (PDF, 5 pp) Permit and compliance information for permitted CAFOs will be available on EPA’s Online Tracking Information System (OTIS).
