Grant County: Final Rules

Grant County has adopted new rules for CAFO’s, but it sounds like things are not quite done. The commissioners adopted the recommended ordinance as it deals with setback, but the new “Purdue formula” is yet to be implemented (discussed here):

Tuesday, the Grant County commissioners passed 3-0 an ordinance that is much more restrictive for the operations, enacting setback distance of between a quarter-mile and two miles from homes, towns, schools and food-processing centers.

The rules also cover construction and manure distribution issues. You can read the proposed ordinance here.
