capacity to twenty thousand (20,000) animal units or more.
(2) Two (2) or more swine facilities under common owners, operators or
those with whom the owners or operators contract or are located within the
same county or within five (5) miles of each other shall be considered, for

animal units. In each case, the director shall determine whether one (1) or
multiple site approvals are required.

unless they expand as provided in this section. However, such facilities
shall register with the director within three (3) months after the
original effective date of this chapter. The director shall determine the
information that must be submitted as part of their registration.
(b) Existing swine facilities required in this subsection to register
with the director shall submit a nutrient management plan and closure plan
to the director for approval within two (2) years of the original
effective date of this chapter in accordance with rules of the department.
