Livestock Environmental Permitting Program

Protecting the Environment
Most farmers and agribusinesses hold themselves to the highest environmental standards.  The State of Ohio now ensures the state's largest operations follow science-based guidelines that protect the environment while allowing the facility to be productive. 

The Livestock Environmental Permitting Program (LEPP) is one of the most recent regulatory programs added to the department's list of responsibilities.  Program staff are responsible for regulating how Ohio's largest livestock and poultry farms handle manure and waste water, as well as manage flies, rodents and other pests.
