Daley Farms of Lewiston LLP - Feedlot Permit

We invite you to comment on the draft permit for the Daley Farms of Lewiston LLP animal feedlot located in Winona County.

The facility will house 4,426 head of dairy in total confinement barns. Liquid manure generated by the animals will be stored within concrete lined storage structures. Solid manure generated by the animals will be stockpiled at the facility. Process wastewater, manure contaminated runoff from the facility will be stored within lined structures or treated via vegetation. 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 5,828.9 AU.

This site was previously part of a multi-site permit, it contains proposed structures that were approved in the previous permit but have not yet been constructed. Structures include manure storage, feed storage, total confinement barns, milk parlor areas, and an animal unit expansion.

The preliminary determination to reissue 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.
