Leonard Wulf & Sons Inc - Feedlot Permit
We invite you to comment on the draft permit for the Leonard Wulf & Sons Inc animal feedlot located in Stevens County.
The facility will house 15 head of swine, 6 head of dairy, 6,347 head of beef, 100 head of poultry in partial confinement barns and open lots. Solid manure generated by the animals will be stockpiled at the facility. Manure contaminated runoff from the facility will be treated via vegetation. Manure generated at the facility will be applied to surrounding cropland at agronomic rates. The animal unit (AU) capacity will be increased from 5,236.7 AU to a final total of 6,226.7 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.
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.
