INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL

Item II-D

This form must be completed by all applicants who check “yes” to Item IIB in Form 1. Not all animal feeding operations or fish farms are required to
obtain NPDES permits. Exclusions are based on size and whether or not the
facility discharges proposed to discharge. See the description of these
exclusions in the CAFO regulations at 40 CFR 122.23.

1. Provide information on the type of containment and the capacity of the
containment structure (s).
2. The number of acres that are drained and collected in the containment
structure (s).
3. Identify the type of storage for the manure, litter, and/or wastewater. Give
the capacity of this storage in days.

For aquatic animal production facilities, the size cutoffs are based on whether
the species are warm water or cold water, on the production weight per year in
harvestable pounds, and on the amount of feeding in pounds of food (for cold
water species). Also, facilities which discharge less than 30 days per year, or
only during periods of excess runoff (for warm water fish) are not required to
have a permit.

Item II-E

Refer to the Form 1 instructions to determine where to file this form.

Provide information concerning the status of submitting a nutrient management
plan for the facility to complete the application. In those cases where the
nutrient management plan has not been submitted, provide an explanation. If
not land applying, describe the alternative uses of the manure, litter, and
wastewater (e.g., composting, pelletizing, energy generation, etc.).

Item I-A

Item II-F

See the note above to be sure that your facility is a “concentrated animal
feeding operation” (CAFO).

Check any of the identified conservation practices that are being implemented
at the facility to control runoff and protect water quality.

Item I-B

Item III

Use this space to give owner/operator contact information.

Supply all information in Item III if you checked (2) in Item I-A.

Item I-C

Item III-A

Check “proposed” if your facility is not now in operation or is expanding to
meet the definition of a CAFO in accordance with the CAFO regulations at 40
CFR 122.23.

Outfalls should be numbered to correspond with the map submitted in Item XI
of Form 1. Values given for flow should be representative of your normal
operation. The maximum daily flow is the maximum measured flow occurring
over a calendar day. The maximum 30-day flow is the average of measured
daily flow over the calendar month of highest flow. The long-term average
flow is the average of measure daily flows over a calendar year.

Item I-D
Use this space to give a complete legal description of your facility’s location
including name, address, and latitude/longitude. Also, if a contract grower, the
name and address of the integrator.
Item II
Supply all information in item II if you checked (1) in item I-A.
Item II-A
Give the maximum number of each type of animal in open confinement or
housed under roof (either partially or totally) which are held at your facility for
a total of 45 days or more in any 12 month period. Provide the total number of
animals confined at the facility.
Item II-B
Provide the total amount of manure, litter, and wastewater generated annually
by the facility. Identify if manure, litter, and wastewater generated by the
facility is to be land applied and the number of acres, under the control of the
CAFO operator, suitable for land application. If the answer to question 3 is yes,
provide the estimated annual quantity of manure, litter, and wastewater that the
applicant plans to transfer off-site.
Item II-C
Check this box if you have submitted a topographic map of the entire
operation, including the production area and land under the operational control
of the CAFO operator where manure, litter, and/or wastewater are applied with
Form 1.

Item III-B
Give the total number of discrete ponds or raceways in your facility. Under
“other,” give a descriptive name of any structure which is not a pond or a
raceway but which results in discharge to waters of the United States.
Item III-C
Use names for receiving water and source of water which correspond to the
map submitted in Item XI of Form 1.
Item III-D
The names of fish species should be proper, common, or scientific names as
given in special Publication No. 6 of the American Fisheries Society. “A List of
Common and Scientific Names of Fishes from the United States and Canada.”
The values given for total weight produced by your facility per year and the
maximum weight present at any one time should be representative of your
normal operation.
Item III-E
The value given for maximum monthly pounds of food should be
representative of your normal operation.
Item IV
The Clean Water Act provides for severe penalties for submitting false
information on this application form.
Section 309(C)(2) of the Clean Water Act provides that “Any person who
knowingly makes any false statement, representation, or certification in any
application…shall upon conviction, be punished by a fine of no more than
$10,000 or by imprisonment for not more than six months, or both.”

Federal regulations require the certification to be signed as follows:
A. For corporation, by a principal executive officer of at least the level of
vice president.
B. For a partnership or sole proprietorship, by a general partner or the
proprietor, respectively; or
C. For a municipality, State, federal, or other public facility, by either a
principal executive officer or ranking elected official.
