The Santa Ana Water Board is drafting new General Waste Discharge Requirements to regulate several types of confined animal facilities, including dairies, feedlots, horse facilities, and poultry facilities.
Manure and wastewater from confined animal facilities have the potential to contribute to pollutants such as nitrogen, phosphorus, organic matter, sediments, pathogens, nutrients, salts, metals, and other constituents.
The Santa Ana Water Board currently regulates individuals discharging dairy wastes or other similar wastes from dairies or related facilities to waters of the United States in any manner that may affect water quality.
The current permit regulating dairies and related facilities can be found on the Dairy Program Page
