Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) For livestock management facilities and
				livestock waste-handling facilities that are not required to obtain an NPDES
				permit, the quantity of livestock waste applied on soils must not exceed a
				practical limit as determined by soil type, especially its permeability, the
				soil condition (frozen or unfrozen), the percent slope of the land, cover
				mulch, proximity to surface waters and likelihood of reaching groundwater, and
				other relevant considerations. These livestock waste application guidelines
				will be adopted under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
				502.305, unless otherwise
				provided for by Board regulations. Facilities required to obtain an NPDES
				permit are subject to the requirements in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 502.Subpart F.
				Unpermitted Large CAFOs claiming an agricultural stormwater exemption must
				comply with 35 Ill. Adm. Code
				502.102 and the practices listed
				in Section 502.510(b) to
				qualify for the exemption.
b)
				Operators of livestock waste-handling facilities must practice odor control
				methods during manure removal and field application so as not to affect a
				neighboring farm or non-farm residence or populated area by causing air
				pollution as described in Section
				501.102(d).
				Odor control methods include:
1) Soil
				injection or other methods of incorporation of waste into the soil, including
				disking or plowing;
2)
				Consideration of climatic conditions, including wind direction and
				inversions;
3) For liquid livestock
				waste: whether supernatant used for irrigation purposes has been stored in a
				livestock waste lagoon system that complies with "Design of Anaerobic Lagoons
				for Animal Waste Management", as incorporated by reference at Section
				501.200.
4) Other methods as described in "Management
				of Manure Odor", as incorporated by reference at Section 501.200.

				waters.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 502 - PERMITS › Subpart A - PERMITS REQUIRED › Section 502.101 - NPDES Permit Requirement and Duty to Maintain Permit Coverage

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) A Concentrated
				Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) is a point source. Any discharge of pollutants
				into the waters of the United States from a CAFO is prohibited unless
				authorized by an NPDES permit or unless the discharge is an agricultural
				stormwater discharge as described in Section
				502.102(b). A
				person must not cause or allow a discharge from a CAFO that violates federal or
				State law, including the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 U.S.C. 1251), the
				Act, or Board rules.
b) The owner
				or operator of a CAFO must seek coverage under an NPDES permit if the CAFO
				discharges.
c) The owner or
				operator of a CAFO that discharges must either apply for an individual NPDES
				permit or submit a notice of intent for coverage under an NPDES general permit.
				If the Agency has not made a general permit available to the CAFO, the CAFO
				owner or operator must apply for an individual permit to the Agency. All permit
				applications and applications for permit modifications must contain the
				information stated in Subpart B.
d)
				Any permitted CAFO must apply for reissuance of the NPDES permit at least 180
				days before the NPDES permit expires unless the CAFO will not discharge after
				the NPDES permit expires.
e) The
				owner or operator of a new CAFO that will discharge must apply for NPDES permit
				coverage at least 180 days before the time that the CAFO begins
				operation.
f) Once an Animal
				Feeding Operation is defined as a CAFO for at least one type of animal, the
				NPDES permit requirements for CAFOs apply to all confined animals at the animal
				feeding operation and all livestock waste generated by those animals or the
				production of those animals.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 502 - PERMITS › Subpart A - PERMITS REQUIRED › Section 502.102 - Land Application Discharges and Agricultural Stormwater

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Livestock waste
				discharge into the waters of the United States from a CAFO resulting from
				CAFO's livestock waste application to land application areas is a discharge
				from that CAFO subject to NPDES permit requirements, except when it is an
				agricultural stormwater discharge and therefore exempt from the definition of a
				point source under section 502 of the Clean Water Act.
b) Where livestock waste has been
				land-applied both according to site-specific nutrient management practices that
				ensure appropriate agricultural utilization of the livestock waste's nutrients
				and in compliance with Section
				502.510 for permitted CAFOs and
				Section 502.510(b) for
				unpermitted Large CAFOs, a precipitation-related discharge of livestock waste
				from land application areas of an unpermitted large CAFO or a permitted CAFO is
				an agricultural stormwater discharge.
c) Unpermitted large CAFOs must maintain the
				documentation specified in Section
				502.510(b)(16)
				either on site or at a nearby office, or otherwise make that documentation
				readily available to the Agency upon request.
