New EPA guidelins on CAFO's-

(OP)
Evening -

I am trying to find out what engineering changes are being adopted or discussed to address the new EPA rules concering CAFO's and AFO's (confined animal operations - such as hog/swine production). The new rules throw out the old 24 hour-25 year storm event, reducing manure and lagoon to "zero discharge levels" without treatment. We utilize a specific batch rotation treatment regime for in-pit manure nutrient reduction, but now looking for the best eay to handle lagoons, but do not know what the "engineering community" re-designs will look like and thus can't determine the simplest equipment design to fit most needs. Any guidelines or thoughts coming out if the engineering societies on this?

Thanx,

Dave Orlebeke
