| 05-24303 | Revised Compliance Dates for National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit Regulation and Effluent Limitation Guidelines for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations | Proposed Rule | EPA proposes to extend certain compliance dates in the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting requirements (40 CFR part 122) and Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards (ELGs) (40 CFR part 412) for concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) in conjunction with EPA's efforts to respond to the order issued by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Waterkeeper Alliance et al. v. EPA, 399 F.3d 486 (2nd Cir. 2005). The purpose of today's proposed rule is to address timing issues associated with the Agency's response to the Waterkeeper decision. This proposal would revise dates established in the 2003 CAFO rule, issued on February 12, 2003, by which facilities newly defined as CAFOs were required to seek permit coverage and by which all CAFOs were required to have nutrient management plans (NMPs) developed and implemented. EPA is proposing to extend the date by which operations defined as CAFOs as of April 14, 2003, who were not defined as CAFOs prior to that date, must seek NPDES permit coverage, from February 13, 2006, to March 30, 2007. EPA is also proposing to amend the date by which operations that become defined as CAFOs after April 14, 2003, due to operational changes that would not have made them a CAFO prior to April 14, 2003, and that are not new sources, must seek NPDES permit coverage, from April 13, 2006, to March 30, 2007. Finally, EPA is proposing to extend the deadline by which CAFOs are required to develop and implement NMPs, from December 31, 2006, to March 30, 2007. This proposal would revise all references to the date by which NMPs must be developed and implemented currently in the 2003 CAFO rule. EPA will also be issuing a proposed rule to revise the 2003 CAFO regulations more broadly in order to address the Second Circuit Court of Appeals decision in a subsequent Federal Register Notice, which the Agency plans to propose for public comment in early 2006. | 2005-12-21 | 2005 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2005/12/21/05-24303/revised-compliance-dates-for-national-pollutant-discharge-elimination-system-permit-regulation-and | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2005-12-21/pdf/05-24303.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA proposes to extend certain compliance dates in the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting requirements (40 CFR part 122) and Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards (ELGs) (40 CFR part 412) for concentrated animal... |
