Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 560 - DESIGN CRITERIA FOR FIELD APPLICATION OF LIVESTOCK WASTE › Subpart A - INTRODUCTION › Section 560.101 - Purpose

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The subject of
				Chapter 5 of the Illinois Pollution Control Board Rules and Regulations (Title
				35, Subtitle E, Chapter I) is Livestock Wastes. Rule 104(e) of Chapter 5 (35
				Ill. Adm. Code
				501.405
				) calls for the adoption of guidelines for livestock waste application to
				land.
b) This technical policy
				statement has been developed in response to Rule 104(e) (35 Ill. Adm. Code
				501.405), which reads as follows:
Field Application of Livestock Waste. The quantity of
				  livestock waste applied on soils shall not exceed a practical limit as
				  determined by soil type, especially its permeability, the condition (frozen or
				  unfrozen) of the soil, 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
				  pursuant to Rule 105, unless otherwise provided for by Board
				  Regulations.
c) The
				application of livestock wastes to the land is an acceptable and established
				practice in Illinois. However, when wastes are not applied in a responsible
				manner, they can create pollutional problems. The emphasis in land application
				should be on waste utilization rather than waste disposal. Considering the
				nutrient value of livestock wastes, there exist economic incentives for the
				efficient utilization of these nutrients. Environmental concerns should also
				dictate the wise management and use of livestock wastes.
d) The intent of this document is to present
				livestock waste application guidelines for the livestock producers of Illinois.
				The guidelines must of necessity be given in general terms and cannot apply to
				each particular farm situation. It is the responsibility of each individual who
				is applying livestock wastes to land to do so in a manner which will not cause
				pollution problems. In some cases, this may require either more or less
				stringent application restrictions than indicated by these
				guidelines.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 560 - DESIGN CRITERIA FOR FIELD APPLICATION OF LIVESTOCK WASTE › Subpart B - DESIGN CRITERIA › Section 560.201 - Nutrient Loading

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
				Livestock waste application should not exceed the agronomic nitrogen rate,
				which is defined as the annual application rate of nitrogen that can be
				expected to be required for a reasonable anticipated crop yield. It should be
				recognized that, in most cases, if the agronomic nitrogen rate is met, the
				phosphorus applied will exceed the crop requirements. Thus, in order to make
				the best use of phosphorus resources, it may be advisable to apply wastes at
				the agronomic phosphorus rate. It will be considered acceptable, however, to
				apply at the nitrogen rate. Appendix A contains some general information on
				agronomic fertilization rates for various Illinois crops.
b) The nutrient contents of livestock wastes
				are highly variable even on an individual farm. The best way to determine
				nutrient contents is to perform an actual chemical analysis. Table 1 and Table
				2 are intended to serve only as an aid in estimating the nutrient value of
				various forms of livestock waste.
c) The values in Table 2 may be used to
				approximate the amount of nitrogen applied in the soil when application is by
				either of the following methods:
1) Soil
				injection
2) Surface application
				immediately followed by incorporation.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 560 - DESIGN CRITERIA FOR FIELD APPLICATION OF LIVESTOCK WASTE › Subpart B - DESIGN CRITERIA › Section 560.202 - Method of Application

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Surface application may be used when the land slope is no
				  greater than 5% or when the yearly average soil loss is less than 5 tons per

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Livestock waste should not be applied within 200 feet of
				  surface water unless the water is upgrade or there is adequate diking. There
				  should be a vegetative strip between the application area and any surface
				  water. Waste should not be applied within 150 feet of any water well.
				  Conservative loading rates should be used in the case of a high water table or
				  shallow earth cover to fractured bedrock. Caution should be exercised in
				  applying wastes, particularly on porous soils, so as not to cause nitrate or
				  bacteria contamination of ground waters. Such shallow ground waters are often
				  the source of private wells in rural areas.

It should be recognized that odors from improperly stored or
				  applied livestock wastes can seriously interfere with the enjoyment of life and
				  property for people living in the area. Although there will be some odors
				  associated with land application of livestock wastes, soil injection or
				  incorporation can significantly reduce these odors. Consideration of climatic

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The Universal Soil Loss Equation is a mathemetical formula
				  which can be used to predict average soil loss in tons per acre per year under
				  various field conditions. It gives consideration to rainfall (R), soil type
				  characteristics (K), length and steepness of slope (LS), cropping system (C),
				  and erosion control practices (P) such as contouring, strip cropping, terracing
				  and straight row farming. Each of the factors is determined for a specific
				  field condition. Research data from sources such as the Agricultural Research
				  Service and various universities as well as field experiences of the Soil
				  Conservation Service and others have been incorporated. Basic climatic data
				  including rainfall information from the Weather Bureau are used.
Information on the Universal Soil Loss Equation may be
				  obtained from local offices of the following governmental agencies: University
				  of Illinois Cooperative Extension Service, Soil Conservation Service, Soil and
				  Water Conservation Districts, and regional offices of the Illinois
				  Environmental Protection Agency.

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 35 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Part 570 - DESIGN AND MAINTENANCE CRITERIA REGARDING RUNOFF FIELD APPLICATION SYSTEMS › Subpart A - INTRODUCTION › Section 570.101 - Purpose

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a. The intent of
				this document is to present design and maintenance criteria for runoff field
				application systems (commonly called vegetative filter systems). These
				relatively inexpensive systems can be effectively utilized to prevent feedlot
				runoff generated by small livestock management facilities from polluting
				streams, rivers, and other waters. Small livestock management operations
				typically do not have the economic resources necessary to control their feedlot
				runoff with expensive lagoon-type zero-discharge systems. The vast majority of
				livestock management operations in Illinois are relatively small and,
				therefore, these criteria add to currently available procedures of preventing
				water pollution from livestock management facilities.
b. Runoff field applications systems need
				attentive maintenance to function properly. Consistent failure on the part of
				the operator to maintain a runoff field application system in good operational
				condition could result in violations of the Act and Regulations. Improper
				maintenance may also result in the facility meeting the criteria set forth in
				Rule 203 of Chapter 5. Under Rule 203, the Agency may require any
				animal-feeding operation discharging pollutants through a man-made device to
				obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit on a
				case-by-case determination considering primarily the amount of wastes reaching
				navigable waters.

				  to dissipate the energy of the anticipated hydraulic jump from the effluent
				  transport system discharge and to proportionally split the flow to the
				  distribution manifold(s).
Livestock Waste: Livestock excreta and associated feed
				  losses; bedding; wash waters; sprinkling waters from livestock cooling; solids
				  removed from settling basins, lagoons, or holding ponds; precipitation polluted
				  by falling on or flowing onto an animal feeding operation; and other materials
				  polluted by livestock.
Runoff Field Application System: Those collective
				  constructions or devices, except sewers, used to collect, pump, settle, store,
				  and land apply feedlot runoff which include, but are not limited to, settling
				  basin, effluent transport system, junction box, distribution manifold, and
				  field application area.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The following shall be evaluated in planning a runoff field
				  application system:
a) Slopes and soil
				material, vegetative species, and time of year for proper establishment of
				vegetation. Also consider the necessity for irrigation of the field application
				area, visual aspects, and other special needs.
b) Location of settling basin.
c) Adequate drainage to insure satisfactory
				performance.
d) Provisions for
				preventing or designing for continuous or daily discharge of liquid waste to
				the field application area (e.g., provide temporary storage tanks for milking
				parlor wastewaters or provide alternate field application areas).
e) Provisions to allow harvesting activities
				without causing design or vegetative damage.
f) Provisions for excluding roof water and
				unpolluted surface water from the settling basin and field application
				area.
g) The need to mechanically
				distribute the flow uniformly across the top of the field application
				area.
h) Runoff field application
				systems designed to be located on soils with infiltration rates outside the
				range of 1.0 to 6.0 inches per hour, or that are otherwise designed or
				maintained such that the criteria contained herein are not satisfied, shall be
				considered innovative designs subject to Section
				570.207.
