Large CAFO’s are characterized as having equal to or greater than 125,000 chickens (C), 82,000 laying hens (L), or 55,000 turkeys (T). Medium CAFO’s are characterized as having 37,500-124,999 chickens, 25,000-81,999 laying hens, or 16,500-54,999 turkeys. Designated CAFO’s are determined by the department and can be any size. Chicken manure is not land applied by these farms and is exported off the farm. Manure is stored and mortalities are handled in a manner to prevent contamination of waters of the state. All farms have Animal Waste Management Plans that meet the criteria of the CAFO Regulations. Manure, litter, and/or process wastewater discharges are prohibited from the production area. There are currently no known existing production area discharge points at these farms. Any discharges of manure, litter, and/or process wastewater that may occur would be new discharges and are required to be reported to the departments.
