Consent Agreement for Animal Feeding Operations Sample Clauses

Consent Agreement for Animal Feeding Operations. ‌ In August 2001, the EPA published methodologies for estimating farm-level emissions from AFOs in the beef, dairy, swine and poultry (broilers, layers and turkeys) animal sectors (Emissions from Animal Feeding Operations, Draft, August 2001). To develop the methodologies, the EPA: (1) identified the manure management systems typically used by AFOs in each animal sector, (2) developed model farms, (3) conducted literature searches to identify emission factors related to model farm components (e.g., confinement, manure handling and treatment system) and (4) applied the emission factors to the model farms to estimate annual mass emissions. After publication of the EPA’s 2001 report, the Agency and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) jointly requested that the National Academy of Science (NAS) evaluate the current knowledge base and the approaches for estimating air emissions from AFOs. In its 2003 report (Air Emissions From Animal Feeding Operations: Current Knowledge, Future Needs, National Research Council), the NAS concluded the following: reliable emission factors for AFOs were not available at that time; additional data were needed to develop estimating methodologies; current methods for estimating emissions were not appropriate; and the EPA should use a process-based approach to determine emissions from an AFO. In January 2005, the EPA announced the voluntary Air Compliance Agreement with the AFO industry. The goals of the Air Compliance Agreement were to reduce air pollution, monitor AFO emissions, promote a national consensus on methodologies for estimating emissions from AFOs and ensure compliance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). To develop the Air Compliance Agreement, the EPA worked with industry representatives, state and local governments, environmental groups and other stakeholders. Approximately 2,600 AFOs, representing nearly 14,000 facilities that included broiler, dairy, egg layer and swine operations, received the EPA’s approval to participate in the Air Compliance Agreement. Participating AFOs paid a civil penalty, ranging from $200 to $100,000, based on the size and number of facilities in their operations. They also contributed approximately a total of $14.6 million to fund the NAEMS. As part of the Air Compliance Agreement, the EPA agreed not to sue partic...
