2. a. As used in this subsection, a "qualified confinement feeding operation" means a confinement feeding operation having an animal weight capacity of two million or more pounds for animals other than animals kept in a swine farrow-to-finish operation or bovine kept in a confinement feeding operation; a swine farrow-to-finish operation having an animal weight capacity of two million five hundred thousand or more pounds; or a confinement feeding operation having an animal weight capacity of six million or more pounds for bovine.
b. A qualified confinement feeding operation shall only use an animal feeding operation structure which employs bacterial action which is maintained by the utilization of air or oxygen, and which shall include aeration equipment. The type and degree of treatment technology required to be installed shall be based on the size of the confinement feeding operation, according to rules adopted by the department. The equipment shall be installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and requirements of rules adopted pursuant to this subsection.
c. This subsection shall not apply to a confinement feeding operation which stores manure as dry matter, or to an egg washwater storage structure. This subsection shall not apply to a confinement feeding operation, if the operation was constructed prior to May 31, 1995, or the department issued a permit prior to May 31, 1995, for the construction of an animal feeding operation structure connected to a confinement feeding operation and the construction began prior to May 31, 1995.
