Your browser doesn’t support HTML5 audio

Waste from pigs and dairy cows is classified as wet animal waste.

House Bill 1706, now Act 824, transfers authority over liquid animal waste management systems from the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality, the Arkansas Department of Agriculture. The measure echoes an older bill from 2019.
