1 31 This bill establishes a moratorium upon the construction of
1 32 a structure such as a building or manure storage facility,
1 33 referred to as an animal feeding operation structure,
1 34 associated with a qualified confinement feeding operation.
1 35 This is a type of confinement feeding operation having an
2 1 animal weight capacity of 2 million or more pounds for animals
2 2 other than animals kept in a swine farrow-to-finish operation
2 3 or bovine kept in a confinement feeding operation; a swine
2 4 farrow-to-finish operation having an animal weight capacity of
2 5 2.5 million or more pounds; or a confinement feeding operation
2 6 having an animal weight capacity of 8 million or more pounds
2 7 for bovine.
2 8 The bill provides that during the period of the moratorium,
2 9 the department of natural resources is prohibited from
2 10 approving an application for a permit for the construction of
2 11 an animal feeding operation structure that is part of a
2 12 qualified confinement feeding operation, and that a person is
2 13 prohibited from beginning construction of an animal feeding
2 14 operation structure that is part of a qualified confinement
2 15 feeding operation. The bill does not prohibit a person from
2 16 completing construction of an animal feeding operation
2 17 structure, if prior to the effective date of the bill, the
2 18 person has obtained a permit for the construction and has
2 19 begun construction.
2 20 The moratorium ends July 1, 2002, and the bill's provisions
2 21 are repealed.
