A Pollution Prevention Plan shall be developed by each\n\nlicensed managed feeding operation prior to the submission of an\n\napplication pursuant to the provisions of this section and rules\n\npromulgated by the State Board of Agriculture pursuant thereto. The\n\nPollution Prevention Plan shall include, but not be limited to,\n\nprovisions for documentation of structural controls, documentation\n\nof Best Management Practices, an approved plan for the disposal of\n\nswine waste and recordkeeping provisions.\n\nB. A swine feeding operation licensed pursuant to the\n\nprovisions of the Oklahoma Swine Feeding Operations Act, other than\n\na licensed managed feeding operation, shall develop a Pollution\n\nPrevention Plan or may substitute equivalent measures contained in a\n\nsite-specific Swine Waste Management Plan prepared pursuant to\n\nSection 20-10 of this title. Design and construction criteria\n\ndeveloped by the United States Department of Agriculture Natural\n\nResources Conservation Service may be substituted for the\n\ndocumentation of design capacity and construction requirements.\n\nC. 1. The Pollution Prevention Plan shall be signed by the\n\nowner or as otherwise authorized by the Oklahoma Department of\n\nAgriculture, Food, and Forestry and a copy shall be retained on-\n\nsite.\n\n2. The swine feeding operation shall amend the Pollution\n\nPrevention Plan and obtain approval of the Department prior to any\n\nchange in design, construction, operation or maintenance, which has\n\nsignificant effect on the potential for the discharge of pollutants\n\nto the waters of the state.\n\nD. If, after reviewing the Pollution Prevention Plan, the\n\nDepartment determines that the Plan does not meet one or more of the\n\nminimum requirements, the swine feeding operation shall make and\n\nimplement appropriate changes to the Plan as required by the\n\nDepartment pursuant to the Oklahoma Swine Feeding Operations Act and\n\nrules promulgated pursuant thereto.\n\nE. The Pollution Prevention Plan shall provide and require\n\npresite approval by Departmental personnel prior to construction.\n\nDuring construction, the Department shall monitor the construction\n\nprocess as deemed necessary by the Department in an attempt to\n\nverify the construction of the facility is done according to plans\n\nand acceptable engineering standards to reduce or eliminate the\n\npotential of pollution.\n\nF. In addition to other requirements specified by this section,\n\nthe Pollution Prevention Plan shall include but not be limited to:\n\n1. A description of potential sources, activities and materials\n\nwhich may reasonably be expected to or could potentially add\n\npollutants to runoff from the facility;\n\n2. A map, indicating an outline of the drainage area of the\n\nfacility, and each existing structural control measure designed to\n\nreduce pollutants in wastewater and precipitation runoff in all\n\nsurface waters of the state;\n\n3. A spill contingency plan for potential pollutants;\n\n4. All existing sampling data of groundwater, nitrate and\n\ncoliform bacteria levels, soil tests from land application sites and\n\nswine waste nutrient sampling;\n\n5. A description of management controls appropriate for the\n\nfacility. The management controls shall include, but not be limited\n\nto:\n\na. the location and a description of existing structural\n\nand nonstructural controls,\n\nb. documentation of retention structure capacity and the\n\nassumptions and calculations used in determining the\n\nappropriate volume capacity, and\n\nc. a description of the design standards for the\n\nretention facility embankments;\n\n6. A description of the design standards for any retention\n\nfacilities;\n\n7. Training requirements for employees;\n\n8. Documentation relating to any hydrologic connection between\n\nthe contained wastewater and waters of the state which complies with\n\nSection 20-12 of this title; and\n\n9. Requirements that all irrigation systems into which any\n\nswine waste will be injected shall be equipped as specified by\ndescription of the design standards for any retention\n\nfacilities;\n\n7. Training requirements for employees;\n\n8. Documentation relating to any hydrologic connection between\n\nthe contained wastewater and waters of the state which complies with\n\nSection 20-12 of this title; and\n\n9. Requirements that all irrigation systems into which any\n\nswine waste will be injected shall be equipped as specified by\n\nSection 20-13 of this title.\n\nG. The Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry\n\nshall develop a record retention schedule for the following records:\n\n1. Water level in the retention structure;\n\n2. Daily precipitation records from on-site rain gauge;\n\n3. Incident reports such as spills and other discharges;\n\n4. Inspection and maintenance reports;\n\n5. Findings from annual inspections of the entire facility;\n\n6. Log of preventive maintenance and employee training that was\n\ncompleted;\n\n7. Log of removal of swine waste sold or given to other persons\n\nfor disposal;\n\n8. Other specific information deemed necessary by the\n\nDepartment to implement the provisions of the Oklahoma Swine Feeding\n\nOperations Act and rules promulgated pursuant thereto;\n\n9. Copy of general permit issued by the federal Environmental\n\nProtection Agency if applicable, a copy of the completed Pollution\n\nPrevention Plan, and other specific records deemed necessary by the\n\nDepartment to implement the provisions of the Oklahoma Swine Feeding\n\nOperations Act and rules promulgated pursuant thereto; and\n\n10. The notarized statement signed by the applicant accepting\n\nfull responsibility for properly closing all waste retention\n\nstructures pursuant to subsection I of this section.\n\nH. Any analyses required by the provisions of the Oklahoma\n\nSwine Feeding Operations Act or rules promulgated pursuant thereto\n\nshall be performed by a qualified independent testing laboratory\n\ncertified by the Department of Environmental Quality and approved by\n\nthe Department.\n\nI. The applicant shall sign a notarized statement accepting\n\nfull responsibility for properly closing all waste retention\n\nstructures if the facility ceases to function or is ordered to close\n\nby action of the Department. When a license is transferred, the new\n\nowner or lessee shall submit a signed notarized statement accepting\n\nfull responsibility for properly closing all waste retention\n\nstructures if the facility ceases to function or is ordered to close\n\nby action of the Department.","path":["OK Code","Title 2"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os2.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"aeb1ac328330a5cb828a8f7d9a79b96ad3b9e455152b3fe5e09686277e8cb7ca","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-2-2-20-8","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-2-2-2002"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
