Note to Docket
Docket EPA-HQ-OW-2011-0188
Proposed National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) Reporting Rule 

(EPA-HQ-OW-2011-0188; RIN 2040-AF22) 

Examples of CAFO Site-Specific Information Publicly Available on the Internet 

The proposed National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) Reporting Rule would require CAFOs to submit information to EPA.  EPA also proposes to allow states with authorized NPDES programs to submit the information that would be required by the proposed rule to EPA on behalf of a CAFO.  

Provided in this document are examples that illustrate publicly accessible site-specific information for CAFOs.  EPA recognizes that some of the examples provided are more comprehensive than others.  EPA's inclusion of these examples in this document does not constitute a determination that these states should submit the information that would be required by the proposed rule or that the information displayed by the examples would fulfill the requirements of the proposed rule.  EPA used examples of publicly accessible site-specific information for CAFOs in developing the voluntarily state submission process in the proposed NPDES CAFO Reporting Rule.
