Unanimous Appeals Court rules for Farm Bureau, against DEQ, in animal waste permit dispute

A unanimous panel of the state Court of Appeals has ruled in favor of the North Carolina Farm Bureau Federation, and against the state Department of Environmental Quality, in a dispute over animal waste permits. Appellate judges agreed Tuesday with the Farm Bureau that three conditions tied to general animal-waste permits adopted in 2019 were state rules. None of the three conditions proceeded through the state’s official rule-making process in the Administrative Procedure Act. All of those conditions are invalid.
