SWET has worked with over twenty animal feeding operations, primarily dairies, in Florida and Georgia, to develop NPDES, Groundwater, and Surface Water (ERP) permit applications and renewals.  Assistance includes Nutrient Management Plan and permit application development, groundwater monitoring plans, renewal applications, and addressing compliance issues as they develop.  One of the more recent activities was working with a dairy and a bio-tech company to evaluate a bioprocessing plant on the dairy to utilize100% of the barn waste.

SWET has gotten six rotationally grazed (RG) dairy facilities permitted including Piedmont, Southpoint, V&W, HW Rucks, Zolfo Springs, and Ten Mile Grade dairies.  The dairy facilities consisted of lactating cow paddocks, a dry cow/sprayfield, a milk/feed barn and lagoon system, and a solids application area that are designed to made the dairies very neighbor and environmental friendly.

SWET assisted Suwannee Farms with the design and permitting of the 5000 head cattle feeding operation which includes a large methane digester with a gen-set for electricity productions.  This was the first animal methane system in the state of Florida.
