The open burning of livestock carcasses is not allowed under Part 55 of Act 451. According to The Bodies of Dead Animals Act, Public Act 239 of 1982, as amended, livestock carcasses should be disposed of by burial, composting, rendering, or incineration. You will have to obtain a Permit to Install from EGL's Air Quality Division before constructing and operating an incinerator. For information about burial, composting, or rendering animal carcasses check out the MDARD publication entitled “Disposal of Dead Animals.”
