Herickhoff Family Farms LLC (Grey Eagle Pork) - Feedlot Permit
We invite you to comment on the draft permit for the Grey Eagle Pork animal feedlot located in Todd County.
The facility will house 3,399 head of swine 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 with land application fields. 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 1,299.6 AU.
This permitting action includes proposed modification of the existing pump out portions of the underfloor liquid manure storage areas at the facility.
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.
