Confined Animal Facilities (CAFs)
This page last reviewed January 29, 2010
| This page provides
links and information related to the efforts that are ongoing to
understand and reduce livestock emissions in California. Under
Senate Bill 700, the ARB developed
a regulation to define which confined animal facilities are subject
to emissions mitigation rules. Local air districts are
developing rules to specify livestock emission mitigation practices.
Research efforts are also ongoing to better quantify livestock
emissions and identify practices that will reduce emissions. The Dairy Manure
Technology Feasibility Panel evaluated livestock
emission mitigation technologies and the San Joaquin Valley Dairy Permitting
Advisory Group (DPAG) evaluated dairy
emissions research and Best Available Control Technologies (BACT)
for dairies. More information is available below for each of
these items. |

Dairy Manure
Technology Feasibility Panel The California Air
Resources Board, in cooperation with the U.S. EPA, hosted a dairy
manure Technology Feasiblity Assessment Panel to help determine which
technologies and management techniques are most likely to improve the
management and treatement of dairy manure. |

San Joaquin Valley
Dairy Permitting Advisory Group (DPAG) The Dairy
Permitting Advisory Group was formed through a settlement agreement to
act as a clearinghouse and gather technical and scientific information
that will be used as a resource in the permitting of dairy operations
located in the SJV air district. |
