SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 21

     WHEREAS, agriculture is a dominant and important industry in Missouri, one which is critical to the well-being of all Missourians; and

     WHEREAS, animal production in Missouri, including swine production, is growing and changing dramatically; and

     WHEREAS, the regulation of large, confined animal production facilities is important both to public health and to the environment; and

     WHEREAS, complying with regulations concerning these facilities is an expensive and difficult process; and

     WHEREAS, there are currently more than five different proposals being debated in the Missouri General Assembly which contain provisions for changing the regulations on confined animal feeding operations in this state; and

     WHEREAS, it is unfair to both the public and to the applicant farmers to continue permit processing for animal production facilities when the laws may change; and

     WHEREAS, the fact that such requirements are constantly subject to change places the Department of Natural Resources in a very difficult position when trying to decide on what requirements to include in a permit:

     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Missouri Senate of the Eighty-eighth General Assembly, the House of Representatives concurring therein, that the Director of the Department of Natural Resources be requested to not proceed with processing any applications for wet handling waste facility permits in Class IA or IB which were filed after January 1, 1996; and

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Director of the Department of Natural Resources continue this moratorium until June 15, 1996; and
