This manual discusses the applicability and implementation of the proposedeffluent limitations guidelines and standards (ELGs) and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements for concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). The main purpose of this manual is to provide guidance to CAFO owners and/or operators and permitters on complying with the permit nutrient plan requirements. This is a draft document that is based on the proposed rule.

For beef (including veal) and dairy (including heifer) animal feeding operations,EPA collected data on the amount of manure and wastewater produced, the pollution control and management practices in place, and current land-application practices at beef and dairy operations. Based on these data, EPA identified possible new regulatory requirements that may be imposed on concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) through revision of the effluent guidelines and standards. These new requirements are grouped into seven possible regulatory options. This report describes the methodology used to estimate engineering compliance costs (in 1997 dollars) associated with installing and operating the various technologies and practices that make up the seven regulatory options considered for been and dairy operations.

The objective of the project proposed by Washington State University (WSU) and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) was to develop technology for the utilization of animal manures as feedstocks to produce value-added products. These included medium-volume commodity chemicals such as glycols or diols and protein-based products such as chemicals or feed supplements. The research focused on two aspects of this approach including the analysis and treatment of the feedstock to produce intermediate chemical precursors and the aqueous phase conversion of these intermediates to chemicals and other value-added products.

The status of the greater sandhill crane (Grus canadensis) was studied in the Piceance Basin Wildlife Management Area of northwestern Colorado from February to May 1976. Greater sandhill cranes were observed to determine if they danced, staged or nested in the Piceance Basin. Habitat factors considered were water, feeding meadows, nesting cover, minimal disturbances, along with the conflicts of proposed oil shale developments.

A biocalorimeter and waste management system is provided for making metabolic heat release measurements of animals or humans in a calorimeter (enclosure) using ambient air as a low velocity source of ventilating air through the enclosure. A shroud forces ventilating air to pass over the enclosure from an end open to ambient air at the end of the enclosure opposite its ventilating air inlet end and closed around the inlet end of the enclosure in order to obviate the need for regulating ambient air temperature. Psychrometers for measuring dry- and wet-bulb temperature of ventilating air make it possible to account for the sensible and latent heat additions to the ventilating air. A waste removal system momentarily recirculates high velocity air in a closed circuit through the calorimeter wherein a sudden rise in moisture is detected in the ventilating air from the outlet.

Section 301(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) directs the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to periodically review and revise, if necessary, effluent limitations guidelines and standards promulgated under CWA Sections 301, 304, and 306. Animal feeding operations (AFOs) have been identified as a major source of pollutants impairing surface water and ground water in the United States; therefore, EPA is revising the existing effluent guidelines for AFOs. The final regulation requires beef, dairy, veal, heifer, poultry, and swine AFOs to handle their manure in a more environmentally sound manner, including upgrading facilities to decrease the runoff potential from feedlots, limiting land application of manure based on nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) agronomic rates, and encouraging other technologies (e.g., treatments that lower the environmental impact or reduce the manure water content).

The primary purpose of this document is to provide technical guidance for concentrated aquatic animal production (CAPP) facilities to meet the requirements of the proposed effluent limitations guidelines and standards. This guidance manual can also be used by all aquatic animal production (AAP) facilities to reduce discharges of pollutants. The manual describes a variety of best management practices (BMPs) and other activities for use by AAP and CAAP facilities to meet the goals of the effluent limitations guidelines. EPA has found that many facilities are currently using BMPs described in this document to successfully reduce pollution loadings.

This Closure Report provides the documentation for closure of the Cactus Spring Waste Trenches Corrective Action Unit (CAU) 426. The site is located on the Tonopah Test Range, approximately 225 kilometers northwest of Las Vegas, NV. CAU 426 consists of one corrective action site (CAS) which is comprised of four waste trenches. The trenches were excavated to receive solid waste generated in support of Operation Roller Coaster, primary the Double Tracks Test in 1963, and were subsequently backfilled. The Double Tracks Test involved use of live animals to assess the biological hazards associated with the nonnuclear detonation of plutonium-bearing devices. The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection approved Corrective Action Plan (CAP)which proposed 'capping' methodology. The closure activities were completed in accordance with the approved CAP and consisted of constructing an engineered cover in the area of the trenches, constructing/planting a vegetative cover, installing a perimeter fence and signs, implementing restrictions on future use, and preparing a Post-Closure Monitoring Plan.
