Animal Feeding Operation- Animal Truck Wash Facility Construction Permit

About

A permit that identifies the design and construction conditions necessary to comply with state rules relative to the construction of animal truck wash effluent storage structures and the land application of that effluent. This permit only applies to truck washes that wash exclusively livestock trucks and trailers. The facility cannot start construction until the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) issues a permit. Annual testing of the truck wash effluent for certain metals is required. A current Nutrient or Manure Management Plan is required. If a facility washes their own livestock trucks and trailers only and generates less than 60,000 gallons per month of effluent then the facility is a Small Animal Truck Wash and no construction permit is required.
