| SEPARATION DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTAIN NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AGRICULTURAL AREAS AS DELINEATED ON THE LINN COUNTY LAND USE MAP | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| From Beef and Dairy Cattle IDNR Permitted Feeding Operations | |||
| Type of Structure | Size of Operation Animal Weight Capacity | Residences, Religious Institutions, Educational Institutions | Notes |
| Anaerobic lagoons and uncovered earthen manure storage basins | andlt; 400,000 lb. | 1,250 feet |
1. These distance separation
requirements are chiefly based upon Chapter 65 of the state Administrative Rules (March 2000) for distance separation requirements for animal feeding operations for incorporated areas. 2. The purpose of applying these distance separations is to ensure that existing animal confinement operations are not negatively impacted and to address the incompatibility and health issues of non-agricultural development in proximity to animal feeding operations. 3. These distance separation requirements do not apply to pre-existing residential structures already located within the proposed development area or for legal lots of record. 4. Distance separations will be calculated based on the nearest points of the edge of the proposed development area and the lagoon, manure storage facility or confinement building etc. 5. These distance requirements do not apply to animal feeding operation structures which store manure exclusively in a dry form. For example, many poultry operations produce dry manure. |
