Swine Feeding Operations
January 1995

TNRCC Rule 116.111(3) in Regulation VI requires that Best Available Control Technology
(BACT) be applied to all facilities that must obtain a permit.  BACT determinations are made on
a case-by-case basis.  Current BACT guidelines for swine feeding operations are:  

A commitment to install a waste storage/treatment system that represents BACT for swine
operations.  This has been determined to be daily scraping/flushing of waste to a well designed
two stage lagoon system or to enclosed storage tanks or any alternate systems with equal or
greater odor reducing potential.
