In July 2007, North Carolina became the first state in the nation to ban the construction or expansion of new lagoons and sprayfields on swine farms by passing the Swine Farm Environmental Performance Standards Act. The Act also sets strict health and environmental standards for any new waste management systems on swine farms. In addition, the Act establishes a voluntary cost-share program to help swine farmers convert existing lagoons to cleaner systems.
