A bill for an act regulating animal feeding operations, including rulemaking requirements, and making penalties applicable.

Summary

The legislation gives the Iowa Environmental Protection Commission authority to adopt rules for building, expanding and operating animal feeding operations, including how manure is stored, treated and applied. State standards must be at least as strict as federal NPDES permits, but can be tighter when needed to protect Iowa’s water quality. Operators who fail to meet the rules would face penalties.
