(1) GENERAL. A
				  large CAFO may not discharge pollutants from manure or process wastewater to
				  waters of the state unless the discharge is covered by and in compliance with a
				  WPDES permit. Pursuant to s.
				  283.37(2),
				  Stats., a complete application for a WPDES permit shall be filed in accordance
				  with the following requirements:
(a) Except as
				  provided for in par. (c), a person who is proposing to own or operate a large

				  constructed at or below grade or that will land apply manure or process
				  wastewater shall file a preliminary application for a WPDES permit at least 12
				  months prior to the intended date on which the operation will become a large
				  CAFO. The preliminary application for a WPDES permit shall consist of completed

				  operator of a proposed large CAFO may not discharge pollutants from manure or
				  process wastewater to waters of the state until one of the following has
				  occurred:
1. The department has issued an
				  individual WPDES permit for the operation.
2. The department has granted general WPDES
				  permit coverage to the operation under s.
				  NR

				  CAFO. Pursuant to s.
				  283.31,
				  Stats., the department shall include conditions in a WPDES permit for the
				  production area and ancillary service and storage areas to ensure that clean
				  water is diverted, as appropriate, from the production area and that are
				  necessary to achieve compliance with surface water and groundwater quality
				  standards contained in chs.
				  NR 102 to 105,
				  140 and
				  207, and the livestock performance
				  standards and prohibitions prescribed in ch. NR 151.
Note: Large CAFOs are not eligible for cost sharing under
					 chs. NR 153 and
					 154, nor is cost sharing necessary
					 for compliance with the livestock performance standards and
					 prohibitions.
(2) DAIRY
				  COWS, CATTLE AND DUCKS.
(a) The standard in
				  this subsection applies to large CAFOs that confine mostly mature dairy cows,
				  milking or dry, or cattle such as heifers, steer or bulls, or ducks. Except as
				  provided in par. (b) or (c), a large CAFO may not discharge manure or process
				  wastewater pollutants to navigable waters from the production area, unless all
				  of the following apply:
1. Precipitation
				  causes an overflow of manure or process wastewater from a containment or
				  storage structure.
2. The
				  containment or storage structure is properly designed, constructed and
				  maintained to contain all manure and process wastewater from the operation,
				  including the runoff and the direct precipitation from a 25-year, 24-hour
				  applicable rainfall event.
3. The
				  production area is operated in accordance with the inspection, maintenance and
				  record keeping requirements in s.
				  NR
				  243.19.
Note: Operations are not allowed to discharge pollutants to
					 navigable waters under any circumstance or storm event from areas of the
					 production area where manure or process wastewater is not properly stored or
					 contained by a structure. Wastewater treatment strips, grassed waterways or
					 buffers are examples of facilities or systems that by themselves do not
					 constitute a structure.

				  to ensure proper operation of all storm water diversion devices and devices
				  channeling contaminated runoff to storage or containment structures.
3. Weekly inspections of liquid storage and
				  containment structures. For liquid storage and containment facilities, the
				  berms shall be inspected for leakage, seepage, erosion, cracks and corrosion,
				  rodent damage, excessive vegetation and other signs of structural weakness. In
				  addition, the level of material in all liquid storage and containment
				  facilities shall be measured and recorded in feet or inches above or below the
				  margin of safety level.
4.
				  Quarterly inspections of the production area, including outdoor animal pens,
				  barnyards and raw material storage areas. CAFO outdoor vegetated areas shall be
				  inspected quarterly.
5. Periodic
				  inspections and calibration of landspreading equipment to detect leaks and
				  ensure accurate application rates for manure and process wastewater. An initial
				  calibration of spreading equipment shall be followed by additional calibration
				  after any equipment modification that may impact application of manure or
				  process wastewater or after changes in product or manure or process wastewater
				  consistency. Spreading equipment for both liquid and solid manure shall be
				  inspected just prior to the hauling season, and equipment used for spreading
				  liquids shall be inspected at least once per month during months when hauling
				  occurs.
6. Inspections each time
				  manure or process wastewater is surface applied on frozen or snow-covered
				  ground to determine if applied materials have run off the application site.
				  Inspections shall occur during and shortly after application.

Current through June 24, 2024
The following effluent limitations for all or specific
				  subcategories establish the quantity or quality of pollutants or pollutant
				  properties which may be discharged by a facility which is a new source subject
				  to the provisions of this chapter.
(1)
				There shall be no discharge of process waste waters from the normal wheat flour
				milling, normal rice milling, animal feed, and hot cereal
				subcategories.
(2) The pH of all
				discharges shall be within the range of 6.0 to 9.0.
(3) The 30 day average and daily maximum
				limitations for BOD5 and suspended solids are set forth in table 3.
(4) The effluent limitations for process
				subcategories in table 3 are in lbs/MsBu of corn or wheat processed and in
				lbs/1000lbs or kg/1000kg of rice processed. The limitations for corn and wheat
				may be converted to kg/1000kg by dividing the english unit limitation by 56 in
				the case of corn and 60 in the case of wheat.
(5) The effluent limitations for product
				subcategories in table 3 are in lbs/1000lbs or kg/1000kg of cereal product for
