Unified National
Strategy for Animal Feeding Operations
Public Listening
Sessions
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will conduct 11 public listening
sessions where interested individuals can ask questions and provide
feedback on the draft Unified National Strategy for Animal Feeding
Operations. This national strategy is one of the key actions in the Clean
Water Action Plan announced by President Clinton in February 1998.
The public is invited to attend the sessions and attain a better
understanding of the draft strategy. After a brief overview of the draft
strategy, a question and answer discussion will be held. Those who wish to
speak at a session may either make arrangements in advance by calling the
contact listed for the session or sign up at the session. Time for each
speaker will be limited to allow time for all to be heard.
All are encouraged to provide detailed written comments concerning the
draft strategy. Written comments will not be accepted at the sessions, but
addressed envelopes will be provided for mailing written comments. Written
comments will be accepted through January 19, 1999, and should be sent to
the mailing address or e-mail address below:
