Water Quality Regulations on Animal Feeding Operations

How do we help?

ACT will assist animal feeding operations (AFOs) to understand and comply with regulations related to manure management and water quality.

Producers may contact ACT for a non-regulatory visit, during which a consultant will

• discuss the regulations with the producer

• help the producer to determine if the operation is in compliance

• suggest measures to bring the operation into compliance
