Sundlee Pork Inc - Feedlot Permit
We invite you to comment on the draft permit for the Sundlee Pork Inv animal feedlot located in Lac Qui Parle County.
The facility will house 5,546 head of swine in total confinement barns. Liquid manure generated by the animals will be stored within earthen lined and concrete lined storage structures. Manure generated at the facility will be applied to surrounding cropland at agronomic rates. The final animal unit (AU) capacity of the facility will remain unchanged at 1,778 AU. This permitting action includes the proposed construction of a liquid manure storage area and the modification of an existing liquid manure storage area to increase its capacity.
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.
