AWARE Team Activities in Georgia

1999-03 , Risse, L. Mark , Radcliffe, David E. , Harris, Glen , Newton, G. Larry , Worley, John , Cabrera, Miguel L.

This paper will discuss the development of the AWARE (Animal Waste Awareness in Research in Extension) team and some of its recent activities. It will cover the goals of the team and how it functions to obtain these goals. It will also discuss some of the tools the team uses including the webpage, listserve, and meetings and discuss how they are helping people throughout the state with information exchange on animal waste management issues. It will also discuss some of the AWARE teams past activities and plans for future activities.

Role of a Stakeholder Advisory Group in Developing C.A.F.O. Regulations in Georgia

1999-03 , Radcliffe, David E. , Risse, L. Mark , Thompson,Justine

In June, 1998 the State Environmental Protection Division (EPD) convened a group of approximately 90 stakeholders with an interest in regulations for concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO's). The members represented public interest groups, producers, academia, and state and federal agencies. They were asked to consider revisions to the current requirements for National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits for CAFO's and the creation of several size categories with escalating requirements. Currently permits are required for animal feeding operations with more than 1,000 animal units (AU) and a wet manure system. Four subcommittees were formed consisting of 12-14 members each: 1) size classification and regulatory system, 2) location restrictions, odors, and setbacks, 3) nutrient management and monitoring, and 4) design and administration. There was consensus to require nutrient management plans, training and certification of operators, and riparian buffers for operations larger than 300 AU. There was no consensus on whether a smaller size category starting at 100 AU should be required to register, or a large category starting at 2,000 AU should require more stringent measures. There was agreement for location restrictions for recharge areas, deep sands and wet soils, endangered species habitat, the 11 counties of Coastal Management Area, impaired streams, and wild and scenic rivers.

Opportunities and Impediments for Pollution Prevention in Crop Production

1997-03 , Risse, L. Mark

Agriculture is one of several industries that face criticism today because of its impact on the environment. Pollution prevention technologies can go a long way toward addressing these concerns. They could also be beneficial to producers as they represent a move toward efficiency. The most common environmental pollutants from crop production are sediment, nutrients, and pesticides. This paper identifies pollution prevention opportunities that are economically viable to the farmer and minimize the impacts of these contaminants. It also lists impediments that limit the adaptation of these practices. Finally, it identifies areas where pollution prevention techniques would be economically viable, technically sound, and environmentally sustainable.
