| Description | In 2003, the federal Environmental Protection Agency adopted a revised Clean Water Act rule for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations, or CAFOs. In February 2005, a court ruling changed the requirements of the CAFO program. The Department of Ecology (Ecology) has drafted a permit for CAFOs that meets the court ruling. If you own or operate a CAFO and discharge to Washington State waters, you must apply for a permit. Large CAFOs who discharge or expect to discharge must apply for a permit. This focus sheet gives general information about the draft permit. | ||||
