Currently, the U.S. EPA is deliberating whether animal feeding operations must comply with CERCLA/EPCRA reporting requirements. A decision pertaining to ammonia and H2S emissions is due out this fall. In light of this, members of the LPE Learning Center decided a discussion of the scope of emissions from livestock operations was warranted.

The webcast begins at 2:30 pm (eastern), 1:30 pm (central), 12:30 pm (mountain), and 11:30 am (pacific).

The meeting room opens approximately 15 minutes before the scheduled start time. The URL for the virtual meeting room is http://connect.extension.iastate.edu/lpelc.
