High Prairie Dairy LLC - Feedlot Permit
We invite you to comment on the draft permit for the High Prairie Dairy LLC animal feedlot located in Kittson County.
The facility will house 50 head of swine and 1,295 head of beef in total confinement barns. Solid manure generated by the animals will be stockpiled with land application fields. Leachate contaminated runoff from the facility will be stored within lined structures. Manure generated at the facility will be applied to surrounding cropland at agronomic rates. The animal unit (AU) capacity will be decreased from 2,240 AU to a final total of 1,301.5 AU. The preliminary determination to issue this Feedlots permit is tentative.
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.
