Financial assurance required for feedlot permits, inventories and reports required, and money appropriated.
Introduction and first reading, referred to Environment and Natural Resources Finance and Policy
Summary
Feedlot operators with 1,000 or more animal units must provide a financial guarantee that covers the cost of closing the feedlot and its manure storage before a permit is issued or renewed, and keep that guarantee in force. The state will also create an annual inventory of abandoned manure storage areas and require county and agency reports on those sites. The goal is to ensure funds are available for proper closure and to address neglected manure facilities.
