§ 509. Odor management plans
(ii) Existing agricultural operations which, because of an increase, resulting from expansion or construction, in the number of animals maintained at the operation, will become regulated as either a concentrated animal operation or a concentrated animal feeding operation. The odor management plan required by this paragraph shall be developed and implemented only with respect to the newly expanded or newly constructed portion of the operation.
(d) Plan review and approval.--Any person performing the plan review must be certified in accordance with section 508 (relating to nutrient management certification program and odor management certification program). Within 90 days of receipt of an odor management plan or plan amendment, the reviewing agency shall approve or disapprove the plan or plan amendment. Approvals shall only be granted for those plans or plan amendments which satisfy the requirements of the regulations promulgated under this chapter. Notice of determination to approve or disapprove a plan or plan amendment shall be provided in writing to the person submitting same. Notice of a determination to disapprove shall include an explanation specifically stating the reasons for disapproval. If a plan or plan amendment is disapproved, the person submitting a plan or plan amendment for the first time shall have 90 days after receipt of notice of disapproval to resubmit a revised plan or plan amendment. An existing or proposed concentrated animal operation or concentrated animal feeding operation that submits a complete plan or plan amendment is authorized to implement the same if the reviewing agency fails to act within 90 days of submittal.
(f) Voluntary plans.--Any agricultural operation which is not required to comply with subsection (a) may voluntarily develop an odor management plan and have it reviewed pursuant to this section. To the extent possible, the commission, the Cooperative Extension Service, the department, the Department of Environmental Protection and conservation districts shall assist and promote the development of voluntary plans.
(g) Transferability of plans.--A plan approved under this section shall be transferable to a subsequent owner of an agricultural operation upon notification thereof to the district unless the transfer results in operational changes requiring plan modification pursuant to the criteria established in this section.
