Due to a recent court action, many farms with animal operations across the United States will be required to report emissions from animal waste as early as January 22. 

 

EPA had exempted most farms from this requirement under the EPCRA and CERCLA laws but due to a recent lawsuit, the courts eliminated this exemption. EPA has online tools to help animal ag producers determine if this requirement applies to their operations, and help them comply with the law.
