Brent Fluit Farm - Sec 33 - Feedlot Permit
We invite you to comment on the draft permit for the Brent Fluit Farm - Sec 33 animal feedlot located in Rock County.
The facility will house 3,650 head of beef in total confinement barns. Liquid manure generated by the animals will be stored within concrete lined storage structures. Manure generated at the facility will be applied to surrounding cropland at agronomic rates.
This permitting action includes closure of a total confinement barn with underfloor storage that is no longer being used for an animal holding area at the facility. The animal unit (AU) capacity will decrease from 1,110 AU to a final total of 1,095 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.
