In lieu of using a settled open feedlot effluent basin as provided in section 459A.302 to meet the open feedlot effluent control requirements of section 459A.401, an open feedlot operation may use an alternative technology system for open feedlot effluent control.
1. The alternative technology system must provide an equivalent level of open feedlot effluent control as would be achieved by using a settled open feedlot effluent basin.
2. The commission shall adopt rules establishing requirements for the construction and operation of alternative technology systems.
