Effective Feb 15, 202448 Ill. Reg. 3196AUTHORITY: Implementing Sections 9, 10, 12, 13, 21, and 22 of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/9, 10, 12, 13, 21, 22] and authorized by Section 27 of the Environmental Protection Act [415 ILCS 5/27].POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
- a) Any CAFO subject to this Subpart may request that the Agency establish NPDES permit best management practice (BMP) livestock waste discharge limitations designed to ensure no discharge of livestock waste based upon a site-specific evaluation of the CAFO's open surface livestock storage structure.
- b) The NPDES permit BMPs for livestock waste discharge limitations must address the CAFO's entire production area. In the case of any CAFO using an open surface livestock waste storage structure for which the Agency establishes livestock waste discharge limitations, "no discharge of livestock waste pollutants," as used in this Subpart H, means that the storage structure is designed, operated, and maintained in accordance with BMPs the Agency established on a site-specific basis after a technical evaluation of the storage structure.
- c) The technical evaluation must address the elements listed in Section 502.840.
