Section 20-31 - Approval of Alternative Technology and Designs (a) Each application for a permit for a confined swine feeding operation under this section shall be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and compared to best available technology. The following information, if available, shall be included with the application: - (i) Data obtained from a full scale, comparable installation that demonstrates the acceptability of the design.
- (ii) Data obtained from a pilot plant operated under the design condition for a sufficient length of time to demonstrate the acceptability of the design.
- (iii) Data obtained from a theoretical evaluation of the design that demonstrates a reasonable probability of the facility meeting the design objectives.
- (iv) An evaluation of the flexibility of making corrective changes to a constructed facility that does not function as planned.
- (v) An evaluation of the risk and potential costs of failure of the proposed facility or technology. The financial assurance plan must reflect this evaluation. The Administrator may choose to increase or decrease the corrective action bond amount determined under Section 49 based on this evaluation.
(b) A pilot plant may be constructed to provide the data necessary to satisfy these regulations. A separate permit to construct for the pilot plant shall be obtained under the provisions of Chapter 3 of the Wyoming Water Quality Division Rules and Regulations.
