You will need to apply for a feedlot permit if you operate a feedlot, <br /> manage 50 or more horses (in shoreland areas, 10 or more horses), and any of <br /> the foliowing conditions exist: <br /> A new feedlot is proposed. <br /> A site that has been abandoned for five years or more is restocked. <br /> An existing feedlot is expanded or modified. <br /> The ownership of an existing feedlot changes. � <br /> A National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit is <br /> required under state or federal rules. <br /> Investigation of a complaint on a feedlot reveals a pollution problem. <br /> More than half of Minnesota counties have accepted delegated authority under <br /> the MPCA's feedlot program. In these counties, the county feedlot officer (CFO) <br /> is responsible for enforcing regulations and issuing permits for most feedlots. <br /> Hennepin County has not requested this administrative authority, so it is under <br /> the direct jurisdiction of the MPCA. Check with your county environmental <br /> officer or the MPCA regarding how state feedlot rules apply to your operation. <br /> The Minnesota feedlot rule is currently under public review. Under the proposed <br /> rule, horse owners may need to register with the MPCA and abide by new land- <br /> spreading rules. In addition, the minimum number of horses for a feedlot <br /> designation may change. Check with the MPCA feedlot program hotline, (651) <br /> 296-7327 or (877) 333-3508, if you have questions about whether you need to <br /> register or apply for a permit. � <br /> « Back � Nex » <br /> « Table of Contents <br /> In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, this material is available In alternative formats upon request.
