Water Quality and Animal Feeding Operations in Arizona: A Producer's Notebook

The University of Arizona has developed this web site. It is intended to provide a centralized source for information on animal waste and waste water management.   We highly encourage AFO owners and operators to peruse this site.  There are several worthwhile links related to animal waste management.

The National Agriculture Compliance Assistance Center at http://www.epa.gov/compliance/assistance/index.html is the first stop for information about nation-wide environmental rules and regulations that affect the agricultural community.   For information on the Clean Water Act, see page 2-1 of this notebook or go to these websites
