SF2305 regulates manure application from animal feeding operations, setting rules to prevent water pollution and defining emergency protocols.

SF2305 amends existing regulations on manure application from animal feeding operations (AFOs). It mandates the Department of Natural Resources to establish rules minimizing water pollution from manure application, including different rates based on soil capacity. The bill prohibits manure application on saturated, snow-covered, or frozen ground, except under emergency protocols specified in manure management plans. It also restricts the use of certain spray irrigation equipment for manure from confinement feeding operations. Violations of these provisions are subject to civil penalties.
