The Environmental Protection Agency defines animal feeding operations as agricultural enterprises where animals (beef cattle, cows, poultry, and pigs/hogs) are kept and raised in confined spaces. These operations congregate animals, feed, manure and urine, dead animals, and production operations on a small land area. Larger feeding operations, more commonly referred to as Confined or Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs), have at least 1,000 pounds of animals in live weight (i.e., 1,000 head of beef cattle, 700 dairy cows, 2,500 swine weighing more than 55 pounds, 125,000 broiler chickens, or 82,000 laying hens or pullets). CAFOs produce more than 40 times the amount of waste product than biosolids generated from human sewage systems. CAFOs, unlike biosolid production, do not have regulatory guidelines related to pathogen level, emission, treatment, or waste disposal.These operations are largely located in communities of color and lowwealth populations and pose an urgent environmental justice issue for local residents. People exposed to releases from CAFOs can experience respiratory effects like asthma or allergies from inhalation of contaminants like ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during operation, air emissions, and spraying of waste and unregulated waste disposal. In addition, CAFO emissions negatively impact the air, water and soil, property values, and the local economy of the surrounding areas.
