This proposed revocation is based on a April 13, 2026 inspection conducted by Department representatives in accordance with the Nebraska Livestock Waste Management Act and Title 130, Livestock Waste Control Regulations. This inspection revealed that the owners of the CAFO described above are no longer feeding livestock, and the operation has been permanently and properly closed according to all Title 130 closure requirements. As a result, the Department deems the operation eligible for a revocation of permit coverage. If, in the future, an owner or operator would seek to resume feeding livestock at this location as a medium or large animal feeding operation, they must first request an inspection from the Department prior to starting construction or feeding any livestock.
The inspection report, fact sheet and other public information are available for review and copying between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (CT), weekdays, excluding holidays at the Department's Telephone (402) 471-2186; FAX: (402) 471-2909; or E-Mail: dwee.records@nebraska.gov.

Please include the above name and legal description of the concentrated animal feeding operation.
All comments received during the public comment period will be considered in the final decision for revocation of the Construction Approval.
