Hearing for Permanent Moratorium

The Administrative Rules subcommittee of the Arkansas Legislative Council will meet on November 14th at 2 pm to consider, among other items, the rule makings for Regulation 5 and Regulation 6 which contain provisions for a permanent moratorium against any swine CAFO permits in the Buffalo River watershed. This committee struck down the same moratorium language in 2020 and there is a possibility it will do so again this time. BRWA will be testifying in support of a permanent moratorium and we encourage all supporters to contact your legislators and ask them to encourage members of the Rules committee to approve the moratorium language as it is currently written.
