 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 March 17, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. BRISPORT -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Environmental Conservation

 AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to
 prohibiting the department of environmental conservation from issuing
 or authorizing any permits to new or expanding large concentrated
 animal feeding operations

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The environmental conservation law is amended by adding a
 2 new section 17-0709 to read as follows:
 3 § 17-0709. Applications for a permit for the operation of concentrated
 4 feeding operations in which livestock are kept; prohibi-
 5 tion.
 6 1. The department shall not issue a license or permit or approval for
 7 the operation of a new large concentrated animal feeding operation, or
 8 an addition to, or expansion of, an existing animal feeding operation if
 9 the addition or expansion would cause the animal feeding operation to
 10 become a large concentrated animal feeding operation or increase the
 11 animal stabling or confinement capacity of an existing large concen-
 12 trated animal feeding operation.
 13 2. As used in this section, "large concentrated animal feeding opera-
 14 tion" shall have the same meaning as defined in 6 NYCRR 750-1.2(a)(23).
 15 3. Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to prohibit a person
 16 from operating an animal feeding operation, if prior to the effective
 17 date of this section, such person has already received a permit for the
 18 operation of an animal feeding operation as otherwise allowed under this
 19 chapter.
 20 § 2. The environmental conservation law is amended by adding a new
 21 section 17-0833 to read as follows:
 22 § 17-0833. General permit for concentrated animal feeding operations;
 23 modification.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 S. 6530 2

 1 1. The department shall revise the SPDES general permit for concen-
 2 trated animal feeding operations, permit number GP-0-22-001, to require
 3 additional, independent approval from the department for any proposed
 4 expansion to the operation of a concentrated animal feeding operation
 5 which will result in an increased animal confinement capacity.
 6 2. If a proposed expansion to the operation of an existing concen-
 7 trated animal facility operation would cause the animal feeding opera-
 8 tion to become a large concentrated animal feeding operation, as defined
 9 in 6 NYCRR 750-1.2(a)(23), or increase the stabling or confinement
 10 capacity of an existing large concentrated animal feeding operation, the
 11 department shall deny the proposed expansion.
 12 § 3. Paragraph a of subdivision 5 of section 17-0701 of the environ-
 13 mental conservation law, as amended by chapter 801 of the laws of 1973
 14 and such subdivision as renumbered by chapter 701 of the laws of 1994,
 15 is amended and a new subdivision 10 is added to read as follows:
 16 a. except as provided in subdivision ten of this section, if the
 17 commissioner finds on the basis of the submitted plans or application
 18 that the discharge from the outlet or point source or modified disposal
 19 system will not be in contravention of the standards, criteria, limita-
 20 tions, rules and regulations adopted or applied by the department; or
 21 10. In the case of a concentra
