## Summary

The Animal Feeding Operation (AFO) Air Compliance Agreement is EPA's voluntary consent agreement to minimize emissions from certain AFOs and to ensure those operations comply with the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Comprehensive Enviromental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), and The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA).  Participating AFOs pay a civil penalty based on size and number of farms to resole potential past and current liability under the CAA, ERCLA, and EPCRA and contribute to a fund that will cover a two-year, nationwide monitoring studyof AFO air emissions.
