| Description |
There are thousands of individual livestock operations in Washington state. An operation may be just a few horses or it could be a thousand head of beef cattle. Most of these operations pose no threat to Washington streams, rivers, and lakes. However, some operations do cause pollution. In almost all of these cases the producer is not knowingly polluting, but instead raising livestock in the same way the operation has done for a long time. As a result, the Department of Ecology (Ecology) endeavors to work with livestock in a unique, proactive way. |
