Project Background
Federal and state agencies are increasingly concerned with the potential environmental risks to water bodies from runoff that is generated from beef cattle feedlots. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s revised Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO) regulations allow for the use of alternative performance standards to control discharge from larger open feedlots. The purpose of this project is to design, install and evaluate the environmental performance and cost effectiveness of non-basin technologies for the treatment of open feedlot runoff, and encourage their adoption where appropriate.
