Rebco Pork Inc - Feedlot Permit
We invite you to comment on the draft permit for the Rebco Pork Inc animal feedlot located in Nicollet County.
The facility will house 8,155 head of swine 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 increasing the number animals and animal units at the site by changing the animal type being housed in most of the existing barns at the site from Swine greater than 300 pounds (lb) to Swine 55-300 lb. The animal unit (AU) capacity will be increased from 1,130 AU to a final total of 2,071.5 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.
