This proposed rule will revise the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulations for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) to include a new requirement for all CAFOs to submit basic facility information to EPA. The purpose of this proposed rulemaking is to address water quality issues associated with discharges of manure pollutants from CAFOs and to allow EPA to more efficiently and effectively achieve the water quality protection goals and objectives of the CWA, with respect to the implementation and management of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program for CAFOs. The need for this action also derives from the May 2010 settlement agreement that the Agency reached with environmental petitioners in litigation concerning the 2008 NPDES CAFO rule revisions. Specifically, EPA agreed to propose to collect basic facility information from CAFOs, regardless of whether the CAFO has an NPDES permit. EPA will use Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 308 information collection authorities to require CAFO owners/operators to submit the data in question.
