- Strategy for Addressing Environmental and Public Health Impacts from Animal Feeding Operations - Draft
The purpose of this draft AFO Strategy is to provide a blueprint for a significant expansion of EPA's regulatory and voluntary efforts related to AFOs. The Agency's goal in this effort is to minimize environmental and public health impacts from AFOs. It is important to note that the Strategy emphasizes water quality because current data indicate that water is the natural resource most adversely affected by AFOs. EPA will continue to investigate the effects of AFOs on other media (e.g., air and soil quality), however.
