Once again obama's over reaching EPA is targeting yet another industry
[html]
The EPA (Dallas office) has made several surprise inspections recently to poultry farms in North Louisiana. At the meeting, was a man (first name Willie) from the Dallas, Texas, EPA regional office. He presented a slide show of "violations" of poultry farms in Louisiana concerning the Clean Water Act.
 
Other than proper dead bird disposal and the proper handling of poultry litter, was a new concern involving the dust that collects outside of chicken houses on the ground from the exhaust fans. The slide show showed the dust from the fans on the grass and on the ground. He stated that this was a violation of the Clean Water Act because of runoff into streams and creeks after a rain. He didn't explain any type of prevention, but said it needed to be cleaned up to prevent water contamination.
 
The EPA man explained that a surprise inspection can happen at any time, and that they had already served several growers cease and desist orders in North Louisiana. He also said that if the cease and desist orders were not adhered to, fines can range up to $37,500 PER DAY. He later stated, "But we are not here to put anybody out of business."
 
Even though no solution was offered for their new problem, there is an air filtering system available called "scrubbers" that can be installed on the fans. The cost of these "scrubbers" is approximately $30,000 per house. Also, it was brought to my attention that the EPA inspectors have gone from farm to farm without practicing biosecurity measures. They are not adhering to their own rules.
 
 
 
Poultry Industry Expresses Concerns with EPA’s Proposed CAFO Rule January 20, 2012 TUCKER, GA – In comments submitted today, the U.S. poultry industry voiced several concerns with EPA’s proposed National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) Reporting Rule. The rule, proposed on October 21, 2011, would require owners and operators of CAFOs to submit certain information to EPA. Specifically, EPA is requesting detailed location information and farm demographics for virtually every family farm engaged in the production of commercial poultry and egg products in the United States. EPA claims the Clean Water Act provides them with the authority to require CAFOs to submit the information sought, and this information will help them determine if a violation of the Clean Water Act has occurred. In reality, none of the information sought would provide any understanding as to whether the facility is discharging or violating the Clean Water Act. Mike Brown, president of the National Chicken Council remarked, “We’re convinced the authority EPA claims under Section 308 of the Clean Water Act to collect information from non-discharging CAFOs oversteps what Congress intended when the law was written.” In their comments, the poultry industry pointed out the very serious threat of making every CAFO location publicly available. “Making this kind of information readily available to the public puts the safety of the food chain at an even higher risk for acts of bioterrorism, not to mention the concern for the safety and privacy of the thousands of family farmers who often live at the same location,” said John Starkey, president in the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association. In the rule, EPA also requested comment on the development of alternative mechanisms for promoting environmental stewardship and compliance. The industry pointed out its long history of environmental stewardship and indicated its commitment for continued improvement. Addressing this issue, Joel Brandenberger, president of the National Turkey Federation commented, “We are pleased EPA recognizes the benefit of developing programs that can assist poultry and egg producers with further tools to extend their stewardship efforts. We urge EPA to follow this course rather than initiate an information collection exercise that will do nothing to enhance water quality.” The comments can be viewed on the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association website at http://www.uspoultry.org/positionpapers.
