We invite you to comment on the draft permit for the Scott Thompson Farm animal feedlot located in Freeborn County.
The facility will house 930 head of dairy and 1,628 head of beef in total confinement barns and individual animal housing areas. Solid manure generated by the animals will be stockpiled at the facility and stockpiled with land application fields. Process wastewater from the facility will be treated via vegetation. Manure generated at the facility will be applied to surrounding cropland at agronomic rates.
This permitting action includes a previously permitted addition of a permanent manure stockpile area.
This permit requires the facility to be designed, operated, and maintained to prevent discharge to waters, except in an extreme storm event. Operators are required to land apply manure at agronomic rates, observe water setbacks, and maintain records of land application activities, including location, timing, and rate of application. Please refer to the draft permit for additional requirements.
The MPCA’s feedlot permit strives to protect our lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands, and groundwater by preventing manure from polluting water. The permit applies to most aspects of livestock management including the location, design, construction, operation, and management of feedlots and manure handling facilities. Minnesota has approximately 18,000 registered livestock operations.
