Paul & David Doehling Farms - Feedlot Permit
We invite you to comment on the draft permit for the Paul & David Doehling Farms animal feedlot located in Sibley County.
The facility will house 1,690 head of beef cattle in open lots. Liquid manure generated by the animals will be stored within earthen
lined storage structure. Solid manure generated by the animals will be stockpiled at the facility. The final animal unit (AU) capacity of
the facility will remain unchanged at 1,690 AU.
This permit requires the facility to be designed, operated, and maintained to prevent discharge to waters, except in an extreme storm event. Operators are required to land apply manure at agronomic rates, observe water setbacks, and maintain records of land application activities, including location, timing, and rate of application. Please refer to the draft permit for additional requirements.
The MPCA’s feedlot permit strives to protect our lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands, and groundwater by preventing manure from polluting water. The permit applies to most aspects of livestock management including the location, design, construction, operation, and management of feedlots and manure handling facilities. Minnesota has approximately 18,000 registered livestock operations.
