1. |
The Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) is the primary agency that regulates CAFOs. Prior to approving a CAFO, please contact ISDA. |
| |
2. |
A CAFO siting process conducted prior to approving a CAFO permit can help determine environmental risks. Projects may qualify for a state CAFO siting through ISDA. If a county requests a siting through ISDA, representatives from the Idaho Department of Water Resources, ISDA, and DEQ may review a site proposed for a CAFO, determine environmental risks, and submit a site-suitability determination. |

3. |
For proposed CAFOs, consider a requirement for an odor management plan, as the development of such a plan is not included within the CAFO siting process. (See the odor control section.) |
