What Agencies do I need to contact when building or purchasing a new facility?
ISDA recommends that you contact your county Planning and Zoning office to determine individual county requirement for siting, construction, approval, and/or permitting. Contact the Idaho State Department of Water Resources to determine the availability and or authorization of water for your dairy operation. If you are interested in obtaining an NPDES permit you will need to contact the Environmental Protection Agency. Finally, ISDA needs to be contacted before initial construction for new and expanding facilities and any changes in operation.
