The goal of any livestock waste control facility is to eliminate the discharge of wastes from livestock operations to groundwater and surface water. Generally, these programs apply to operations feeding or holding cattle, horses, swine, sheep, poultry or other livestock in buildings, lots or pens, which are not normally used for growing crops or vegetation.

State and federal programs typically require these operations to apply for and obtain construction and operating permits for livestock waste control facilities, as well as NPDES permits for the livestock operations.
