On Thursday March 29, I joined Beth Sauerhaft and Sally Shaver in a 

meeting with the National Cattleman's Beef Association here at EPA 

headquarters.  Judy Davis accompanied me.  I was asked to talk about the


status of the CAFO rule.   I provided information on the proposal, and 

confirmed that we were still planning on issuing a final rule in June, 

2007.  The major concern submitted by NCBA was the requirement in our 

proposed rule that a term of the NPDES permit would include the fields 

where manure is being applied.  They content that there is often a need
to 

buy land quickly under certain circumstances and they can't afford to be


encumbered with a   process to revise their permit before they can make 

the purchase.  This email will be part of the public record as a record
of 

all meetings with stakeholders following a proposed rule, and preceding 

the final rule, need to be documented.
