composting operations and processes,
AND if you plan to dispose of this wastewater by evaporation or
beneficial use by irrigation adjacent to water in the

the permit, that coverage under this general permit is appropriate,
continue to
Applying for Coverage Under General Permit WQG200000 for steps
on how to apply.
This permit does not authorize the discharge or disposal of
wastewater generated from livestock manure composting operations
which occur at a facility either permitted or otherwise authorized
by the Commission as a concentrated animal feeding operation
(CAFO).
If you don't qualify for coverage under General Permit
WQG200000, you may require an individual permit
for any discharge released.
This general permit is not for operations where the manure is
generated on site. If you have livestock and compost its manure,
find out whether your facility should be permitted as a concentrated
animal feeding operation.
