Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 20, October 25, 2024
Section 5 CCR 1002-61.17 - CONCENTRATED ANIMAL FEEDING OPERATIONS61.17(1)SCOPE AND PURPOSE(a) The provisions in this section 61.17 provide permit regulations for concentrated animal feeding operations as the result of the revised federal concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) regulations that became effective on April 14, 2003, and as revised effective July 24, 2007 and December 22, 2008.(b) The purpose of these regulatory provisions is to ensure that CAFOs take appropriate actions to manage manure and process wastewater effectively in order to protect surface waters.61.17(2)SPECIFIC APPLICABILITY(a) The provisions in this section 61.17 are applicable to all new and existing CAFOs and to animal feeding operations that are designated as CAFOs by the Division, except any CAFO defined as a housed commercial swine feeding operation under section 61.2 of these regulations.(b) Any discharge from a CAFO requires a permit except those that are agricultural storm water discharges as defined in section 61.17 . The owner or operator of a CAFO must seek coverage under a permit if the CAFO discharges to surface water. Specifically, the CAFO owner or operator must either apply for an individual permit or submit a notice of intent for coverage under a general permit.(c) Land Application Discharges from a CAFO - The discharge of manure or process wastewater to surface water from a CAFO as a result of the application of that manure or process wastewater by the CAFO to land areas under its control is a discharge from that CAFO subject to permit requirements, except where it is an agricultural storm water discharge. For purposes of this section 61.17 , where the manure or process wastewater has been applied in accordance with site specific nutrient management practices that ensure appropriate agricultural utilization of the nutrients in the manure or process wastewater, as specified in those parts of the nutrient management plan that address section 61.17 , a precipitation-related discharge of manure or process wastewater from land areas under the control of a CAFO is an agricultural stormwater discharge.(d) CAFOs shall comply with the relevant sections of Regulation #61, not superseded by this section 61.17 , which shall be incorporated in the permit, where appropriate.61.17(3)DEFINITIONSAs used in this subsection, the following definitions of terms apply.

The Division will review these submittals to ensure that the notice of intent includes the information required by 61.17(5)(c), including a nutrient management plan that meets the requirements of 61.17(8)(b) and applicable effluent limitations and standards, including those specified in 61.17(6). When additional information is necessary to complete the notice of intent or clarify, modify, or supplement previously submitted material, the Division may request such information from the owner or operator. If the Division makes a preliminary determination that the notice of intent meets the requirements of 61.17(5)(c) and 61.17(8)(b), the Division will notify the public of the Division's proposal to grant coverage under the permit to the CAFO and make available for public review and comment the notice of intent submitted by the CAFO, including the CAFO's nutrient management plan, and the draft terms of the nutrient management plan to be incorporated into the permit.
For permits, the process for submitting public comments and hearing requests, and the hearing process if a request for a hearing is granted, will follow the procedures applicable to draft permits set forth in section 61.5 . For nutrient management plans, the Division may establish an appropriate period of time and process for the public to comment and request a hearing that differs from those specified in section 61.5 . The Division will respond to significant comments received during the comment period and, if necessary, require the CAFO to revise the nutrient management plan in order to be granted permit coverage.
When the Division authorizes coverage for the CAFO owner or operator under the general permit, the terms of the nutrient management plan as specified in 61.17(8)(b)(xii) become incorporated as terms and conditions of the permit for the CAFO. The Division will notify the CAFO owner or operator and inform the public that coverage has been authorized and of the terms of the nutrient management plan incorporated as terms and conditions of the permit applicable to the CAFO.
(i) The incorporation of the terms of a CAFO's nutrient management plan into the terms and conditions of a general permit when a CAFO obtains coverage under a general permit in accordance with 61.17(5), is not cause for modification to the general permit pursuant to the requirements of section 61.17(8)(b)(xv).1.17(6)EFFLUENT LIMITATION REQUIREMENTS FOR CONCENTRATED ANIMAL FEEDING OPERATIONSExcept where a variance has been granted pursuant to section 61.12 , CAFOs must achieve the following effluent limitations:

These CAFOs shall attain the limitations and requirements of this section 61.17 as of the date of permit coverage. (I) Any CAFO subject to this subpart may request that the Division establish best management practice effluent limitations designed to ensure no discharge of manure, litter, or process wastewater based upon a site-specific evaluation of the CAFO's open surface manure storage structure. Best management practice effluent limitations included in the permit must address the CAFO's entire production area. In the case of any CAFO using an open surface manure storage structure for which the Division establishes such effluent limitations, "no discharge of manure, litter, or process wastewater pollutants," as used in this section, means that the storage structure is designed, operated, and maintained in accordance with best management practices established by the Division on a site-specific basis after a technical evaluation of the storage structure. The technical evaluation must address the following elements: (1) Information to be used in the design of the open manure storage structure including, but not limited to, the following: minimum storage periods for rainy seasons, additional minimum capacity for chronic rainfalls, applicable technical standards that prohibit or otherwise limit land application to frozen, saturated, or snow-covered ground, planned emptying and dewatering schedules consistent with the CAFO's Nutrient Management Plan, additional storage capacity for manure intended to be transferred to another recipient at a later time, and any other factors that would affect the sizing of the open manure storage structure.(2) Open manure storage structures must be designed using procedures and/or software approved by the Division.(3) All inputs used in the open manure storage structure design including actual climate data for the previous 30 years consisting of historical average monthly precipitation and evaporation values, the number and types of animals, anticipated animal sizes or weights, any added water and bedding, any other process wastewater, and the size and condition of outside areas exposed to rainfall and contributing runoff to the open manure storage structure. If actual climate data is not available, the best available data from the most proximate weather station(s), such as those utilized by the Colorado State University Colorado Climate Center or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration should be used.(4) The planned minimum period of storage in months including, but not limited to, the factors for designing an open manure storage structure listed in paragraph (A)(I)(1) of this section. Alternatively the CAFO may determine the minimum period of storage by specifying times the storage pond will be emptied consistent with the CAFO's Nutrient Management Plan.(5) Site-specific predicted design specifications including dimensions of the storage facility, daily manure and wastewater additions, the size and characteristics of the land application areas, and the total calculated storage period in months.(6) Evaluation of the adequacy of the designed manure storage structure must use evaluations and simulations approved by the Division. The evaluation must include all simulation inputs including, but not limited to, daily precipitation, temperature, and evaporation data for the previous 100 years, user-specified soil profiles representative of the CAFO's land application areas, planned crop rotations consistent with the CAFO's Nutrient Management Plan, and the final modeled result of no overflows from the designed open manure storage structure. For those CAFOs where 100 years of local weather data for the CAFO's location is not available, CAFOs may use a simulation with a confidence interval analysis conducted over a period of 100 years. The Division may approve equivalent evaluation and simulation procedures.(7) The Division has the discretion to request additional information to support a request for effluent limitations based on a site-specific open surface manure storage structure.(8) The Division may waive the requirement of (A)(I)(6) for a site-specific evaluation of the designed manure storage structure and instead authorize a CAFO to use a technical evaluation developed for a class of specific facilities within a specified geographical area.(9) Waste management and storage facilities designed, constructed, operated, and maintained consistent with the analysis conducted in paragraphs (A)(I)(1) through (A)(I)(7) of this section and operated in accordance with the additional measures and records required in section 61.17 and 61.17 below, will fulfill the requirements of this section.(II) The production area must be operated in accordance with the additional measures and recordkeeping required in section 61.17(8)(c) and 61.17(8)(f) below.(III) Provisions for upset/bypass, as provided in 61.8(3)(i) & (j), apply to a new source subject to this provision.(B) Land application areas - New source Large Swine, Poultry, and Veal Calf CAFOs shall attain the limitations and requirements of this paragraph (B) as of the date of permit coverage. (I) Develop and implement the nutrient management plan specified in section 61.17 , and the best management practices specified in section 61.17.(II) Maintain a complete copy of the information for the best management practices required by section 61.17(8)(b)(x), and the records specified at sections 61.17(8)(c).(v) Effluent Limitations for Large Swine, Poultry, and Veal Calf CAFOs that commenced discharging as a new source after April 14, 1993, and prior to April 14, 2003 - Such CAFOs shall be subject to the effluent limitation provisions specified in section 61.17(6)(a)(iii), above.(c) General pretreatment standards - CAFO permittees that introduce process wastewater pollutants into a publicly owned treatment works (POTW) must comply with 40 CFR 403.61.17(7)VOLUNTARY ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE STANDARDSPursuant to sections 61.17 and 61.17 above, a Large Dairy Cow, Cattle, Swine, Poultry, or Veal Calf CAFO, may voluntarily request the Division to establish alternative Colorado Discharge Permit System effluent limitations based upon the operation's proposed use of site-specific alternative technologies.

Prior to rebuilding or constructing a new impoundment or tank, the operator or owner is strongly advised to contact the Division for the purpose of determining the required storage capacity standard for permitting purposes. (I) New Source Swine, Poultry, or Veal Calf Operations - Impoundments and tanks for production areas of these new source CAFOs shall be designed and constructed so that these structures meet the requirements set forth in 61.17(6)(b)(iv).(II) Other New Sources, including Duck CAFOs with 5,000 or More Ducks - New source CAFOs that are not swine, poultry, or veal calf operations shall meet the same baseline storage capacity requirement as specified in subsection 61.17(8)(a)(i)(B) above.(C) Evaporation Storage System Standard - Evaporation impoundment systems shall be designed and constructed to withstand a consecutive 10-year period of maximum recorded rainfall, as determined by a water budget analysis process which includes manure and process wastewater loading during that period and provides sufficient capacity to retain all rainfall and process wastewater from the applicable design storm event without overflow. For purposes of determining the consecutive 10-year period of maximum recorded rainfall, the entire period of record shall be utilized. Such impoundments shall also be capable of containing any planned volume of liquid manure and process wastewater, including the runoff resulting from a 25-year, 24-hour storm. If a new source Swine, Poultry or Veal Calf Operation, such impoundments shall be capable of meeting the requirements set forth in 61.17(6)(b)(iv).(ii) Spillways - An impoundment shall have a spillway that is designed and maintained to prevent erosion of the structural integrity of the impoundment, except where the operator requests and the Division approves that a spillway is not required. (A) An impoundment that holds a depth of process wastewater that is five feet or less, retains process wastewater for 48 hours or less and, from which any overflow will be captured by a down gradient impoundment or tank, shall be exempt from this requirement.(B) An operator may request approval from the Division that no spillway is required for an impoundment where the operator demonstrates that structural integrity of the impoundment will be maintained without a spillway in the event of an overflow.(iii) For new source Large CAFOs and newly constructed CAFOs - designs of diversion structures and impoundments for process wastewater, and of structures that divert clean water from running onto production areas, manure stockpiles, and composting areas shall be prepared and certified by a professional engineer registered in the State of Colorado.(iv) Clean water shall be diverted, as appropriate, from running onto feedlots, holding pens, manure and process wastewater storage systems, manure stockpiles, composting areas, and the like. Structures used to divert clean water from running onto new source Large Swine, Poultry, and Veal Calf CAFOs, shall be capable of meeting the requirements set forth in 61.17(6)(b)(iv).(v) Structures used to divert process wastewater from production areas to impoundments or tanks shall be sized such that they can carry the flow expected from a 25-year, 24-hour storm. For new source Large Swine, Poultry, and Veal Calf operations, such structures shall be capable of meeting the requirements set forth in 61.17(6)(b)(iv).(b) Nutrient Management Plan Requirements (i) Any permit issued to a CAFO must include a requirement to implement a nutrient management plan that, at a minimum, contains best management practices and procedures necessary to meet the requirements of this section and applicable effluent limitations and standards.(ii) The permittee shall develop and implement a nutrient management plan upon the date of permit coverage for existing and new source CAFOs.(iii) Ensure adequate storage of manure and process wastewater, including procedures to ensure proper operation and maintenance of the impoundments and tanks. The procedures shall include, but not be limited to:(A) Except during the designed storm event, manure and process wastewater stored in impoundments and terminal tanks shall be removed as necessary to maintain a minimum of two (2) feet of freeboard, except where the operator requests and the Division approves an alternative freeboard level. The request shall include documentation that the alternative level will protect structural integrity of impoundments and terminal tanks and be functionally equivalent to two feet of freeboard in preventing overflows caused by factors such as wind and receiving direct precipitation.(B) For operations that land apply process wastewater, whenever the design capacity of impoundments and tanks is less than the volume required to store runoff from the designed storm event, the structures shall be dewatered to a level that restores the required capacity once soils on a land application site has the water holding capacity to receive process wastewater.(iv) Ensure proper management of animal mortalities (that is, dead animals) to prevent discharge of pollutants to surface waters. Mortalities shall remain on the production area until disposal and shall be managed to ensure that they are not disposed of in a liquid manure, storm water, or process wastewater storage system that is not specifically designed to treat animal mortalities;(v) Ensure that clean water is diverted, as appropriate, from the production area;(vi) Prevent direct contact of confined animals with surface waters;(vii) Ensure that chemicals and other contaminants handled on-site are not disposed of in any manure, storm water, or process wastewater storage system unless specifically designed to treat such chemicals and other contaminants;(viii) Site-specific conservation practices that have been identified and will be implemented, including as appropriate, buffers or equivalent practices, to control runoff of pollutants to surface water. Such practices shall include, but are not limited to: (A) Solid manure shall be incorporated as soon as possible after application, unless the application site has perennial vegetation or is no-till cropped, or except where the nutrient management plan adequately demonstrates that surface water quality will be protected where manure is not so incorporated.(B) Process wastewater to furrow- or flood-irrigated land application sites shall be applied in a manner that prevents any process wastewater runoff into surface waters.(C) When process wastewater is sprinkler-applied, the soil water holding capacity of the soil shall not be exceeded.(D) Process wastewater shall not be applied to either frozen or flooded land application sites.(E) Manure or process wastewater shall not be land-applied within 150 feet of domestic water supply wells, and within 300 feet of community domestic water supply wells.(ix) Identify protocols for appropriate sampling and testing of manure, process wastewater, and soil;(x) Establish protocols to land apply manure or process wastewater in accordance with site specific nutrient management practices that ensure appropriate agricultural utilization of the nutrients in the manure or process wastewater. Such protocols shall include, but are not limited to: (A) No application of manure or process wastewater shall be made to a land application site at a rate that will exceed the capacity of the soil and the planned crops to assimilate nitrate-nitrogen within twelve (12) months of the manure or process wastewater being applied.(B) Manure and process wastewater shall be applied as uniformly as possible with properly calibrated equipment.(xi) Identify specific records that will be maintained to document the implementation and management of the minimum nutrient management plan elements described in subsections 61.17(8)(b)(i) through (x), above.(xii) Terms of the Nutrient Management Plan (A) Any permit issued to a CAFO must require compliance with the terms of the CAFO's site-specific nutrient management plan. The terms of the nutrient management plan are the information, protocols, best management practices, and other conditions in the nutrient management plan requested by the Division for clarification or justification in order to meet the requirements of paragraph 61.17(8)(b) of this section.(B) The terms of the nutrient management plan, with respect to protocols for land application of manure, litter, or process wastewater required by paragraph 61.17(8)(b)(x) of this section and, as applicable, 61.17(8), must include: (I) The fields available for land application;(II) Field-specific rates of application properly developed, as specified in paragraph 61.17(8)(b)(xii)(B)(IV) below, to ensure appropriate agricultural utilization of the nutrients in the manure, litter, or process wastewater; and(III) Any timing limitations identified in the nutrient management plan concerning land application on the fields available for land application;(IV) Description of the rates of application of manure, litter, and process wastewater to be land applied, according to the following specifications:(1) Maximum amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus derived from all sources of nutrients, for each crop identified in the nutrient management plan, in chemical forms determined to be acceptable to the Division, in pounds per acre, for each field;(2) The outcome of field-specific assessment of potential for nitrogen and phosphorus transport to surface water for each field, using the USDA, NRCS Colorado Phosphorus Index Risk Assessment tool or other Division-approved method;(3) The crops to be planted in each field or any other uses such as pasture of fallow fields (including alternative crops identified in accordance with paragraph 61.17(8)(b)(xii)(B)(IV)(7) of the section);(4) The realistic yield goal for each crop or use identified for each field;(5) The nitrogen and phosphorus recommendation for each crop or use identified for each field from a method approved by the Division. Such methods may include, but are not limited to, the most current published fertilizer suggestions of the Cooperative Extension in Colorado or adjacent states, or the most current nutrient management planning guidelines for Colorado as published by the USDA, NRCS.(6) The methodology by which the nutrient management plan accounts for the following factors when calculating the amounts of manure, litter, and process wastewater to be land applied:a) Results of soil tests conducted in accordance with protocols identified in the nutrient management plan, as required by paragraph 61.17(8)(b)(ix) of this section;b) Credits for all nitrogen in the field that will be plant available;c) The amount of nitrogen and phosphorus in the manure, litter, and process wastewater to be applied;d) Consideration of multi-year phosphorus application;e) Accounting for all other additions of plant available nitrogen and phosphorus to the field;f) The form and source of manure, litter and process wastewater;g) The timing and method of land application; andh) Volatilization of nitrogen and mineralization of organic nitrogen.(7) For alternative crops identified in the CAFO's nutrient management plan that are not in the planned crop rotation: a) The crops must be listed by field, in addition to the crops identified in the planned crop rotation for that field;b) The nutrient management plan must include realistic crop yield goals and the nitrogen and phosphorus recommendations from sources specified in 61.17(8)(b)(xii)(B)(IV)(5) above;c) Maximum amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus from all sources of nutrients and the amounts of manure, litter, and process wastewater to be applied must be determined in accordance with the methodology described in paragraph 61.17(8)(b)(xii)(B)(IV)(6) of this section.(C) If approved by the Division, nutrient management plan terms that meet the requirements of 40 CFR 122.42(e)(5)(i) may also be used to satisfy the requirements of 61.17(8)(b)(xiii).(xiii) The following projections must be included in the nutrient management plan submitted to the Division, but are not terms of the nutrient management plan:(A) The CAFO's planned crop rotations for each field for the period of permit coverage;(B) The projected amount of manure, litter, or process wastewater to be applied;(C) Projected credits for all nitrogen in the field that will be plant available;(D) Consideration of multi-year phosphorus application;(E) Accounting for all other additions of plant available nitrogen and phosphorus to the field;(F) The predicted form, source, and method of application of manure, litter, and process wastewater for each crop.(xiv) CAFOs must calculate maximum amounts of manure, litter, and process wastewater to be land applied at least once each year using the methodology required in paragraph 61.17(8)(b)(xii)(B)(IV)(6) of this section before land applying manure, litter, and process wastewater and must rely on the following data: (A) A field-specific determination of soil levels of nitrogen and phosphorus, including, for nitrogen, a concurrent determination of nitrogen that will be plant available consistent with the methodology required by paragraph 61.17(8)(b)(xii)(B)(IV)(6) of this section, and for phosphorus, the results of the most recent soil test conducted in accordance with soil testing requirements approved by the Division; and(B) The results of most recent representative manure, litter, and process wastewater tests for nitrogen and phosphorus taken within 12 months of the date of land application, in order to determine the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus in the manure, litter, and process wastewater to be applied.(xv) Changes to a Nutrient Management Plan (A) Any permit issued to a CAFO must require the following procedures when a CAFO owner or operator makes changes to the CAFO's nutrient management plan previously submitted to the Division. (I) The CAFO owner or operator must provide the Division with the most current version of the CAFO's nutrient management plan and identify changes from the previous version, except that the results of calculations made in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 61.17(8)(b)(xiv) of this section are not subject to the requirements of paragraph 61.17(8)(b)(xv) of this section.(II) The Division must review the revised nutrient management plan to ensure that it meets the requirements of this section and applicable effluent limitations and standards, including those specified in 61.17(6) above, and must determine whether the changes to the nutrient management plan necessitate revision to the terms of the nutrient management plan incorporated into the permit issued to the CAFO. If revision to the terms of the nutrient management plan is not necessary, the Division must notify the CAFO owner or operator and upon such notification the CAFO may implement the revised nutrient management plan. If revision to the terms of the nutrient management plan is necessary, the Division must determine whether such changes are substantial changes as described in paragraph 61.17(8)(b)(xv)(A)(III) of this section.(1) If the Division determines that the changes to the terms of the nutrient management plan are not substantial, the Division must make the revised nutrient management plan publicly available and include it in the permit record, revise the terms of the nutrient management plan incorporated into the permit, and notify the owner or operator and inform the public of any changes to the terms of the nutrient management plan that are incorporated into the permit.(2) If the Division determines that the changes to the terms of the nutrient management plan are substantial, the Division must notify the public and make the proposed changes and the information submitted by the CAFO owner or operator available for public review and comment. The process for public comments, hearing requests, and the hearing process if a hearing is held must follow the procedures applicable to draft permits set forth in 61.5. Once the Division incorporates the changes to the terms of the nutrient management plan into the permit, the Division must notify the owner or operator and inform the public of the final decision concerning changes to the terms and conditions of the permit.(III) Substantial changes to the terms of a nutrient management plan incorporated as terms and conditions of a permit include: (1) Addition of new land application areas not previously included in the CAFO's nutrient management plan. Except that if the land application area that is being added to the nutrient management plan is covered by terms of a nutrient management plan incorporated into an existing permit in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 61.17(8)(b)(xii) of this section, and the CAFO owner or operator applies manure, litter, or process wastewater on the newly added land application area in accordance with the existing field-specific permit terms applicable to the newly added land application area, such addition of new land would be a change to the new CAFO owner or operator's nutrient management plan but not a substantial change for purposes of this section;(2) Any changes to the maximum amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus derived from all sources for each crop, as set forth in paragraph 61.17(8)(b)(xii)(B)(IV) of this section;(3) Addition of any crop or other uses not included in the terms of the CAFO's nutrient management plan and corresponding field-specific rates of application expressed in accordance with paragraph 61.17(8)(b)(xii) of this section; and(4) Changes to site-specific components of the CAFO's nutrient management plan, where such changes are likely to increase the risk of nitrogen and phosphorus transport to surface water based on the USDA, NRCS Colorado Phosphorus Index Risk Assessment tool or other Division-approved method.(c) Recordkeeping Requirements The permittee shall maintain on site a copy of its most current nutrient management plan and make it available to the Division or its designee, upon request. In addition, the permittee must create, maintain on-site for five years from the date they are created, and make available to the Division or its designee, upon request, the following records:
