Exempting Farms from Emergency Reporting of Animal Waste Air Emissions.

This bill changes environmental emergency reporting rules. Farmers will no longer be required to immediately notify local authorities and emergency services about air emissions resulting from animal waste on their farms. This reduces regulatory paperwork for agricultural operations but limits the immediate information available to the community regarding potential air quality concerns from these specific farm emissions.
Key points
Farms are excluded from the requirement to immediately report air emissions stemming from animal waste decomposition.
The change amends the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act (EPCRA).
