§ 83.703. Purpose.

 The purposes of this subchapter are as follows:

   (1)  To provide for the management of odors generated only from animal housing facilities and manure management facilities on certain CAOs and CAFOs, considering the following:

     (i)   Site-specific factors.

     (ii)   Reasonably available technology, practices, standards and strategies.

     (iii)   The practical and economic feasibility of installation and operation of the technology, practices, standards and strategies.

     (iv)   The potential impacts from the facilities that may lead to conflicts between the agricultural operation and neighbors, arising from the offsite migration of the odors.

   (2)  To apply scientific information on odor management that is current at the time of plan approval, using the factors in paragraph (1), and recognizing the limitations of that scientific information and the subjective nature of identifying and managing odor impacts from agriculture.

   (3)  OMPs are intended to address the potential for odor impacts. The plans are not required to completely eliminate the potential for odor impacts.

   (4)  To encourage the management of odors generated from any VAOs and facilities, not required to submit a plan under this subchapter, consistent with paragraphs (1)—(3).
