[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of
Hobart as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 7-21-2009 by Ord. No. 04-2009 as § 10.3
of the 2000 Code]
This article is adopted under authority granted under §§ 59.70(1),
92.15 and 92.16 of the Wisconsin Statutes. The title of this article
is "Village of Hobart Animal Waste Management Ordinance" and it regulates
design, construction, abandonment and maintenance of animal waste
storage facilities, animal feedlots, and nutrient management.
A.
The Village of Hobart Board finds this article is designed to protect
and promote our agricultural industry and also to promote and enhance
the aesthetic conditions and general welfare of the people within
the Village of Hobart.
B.
The County of Brown permits operation of properly conducted agricultural
operations within the county. If the property you are purchasing or
own is located near agricultural lands of operation or included within
an area zoned for agricultural purposes, you may be subject to outcomes
arising from such operations. Such outcomes may include, but are not
limited to, noises, odors, lights, fumes, dust, smoke, insects, arising
from the use of chemicals, operation of machinery (including aircraft)
during a twenty-four-hour period, the storage and disposal of manure,
and the application by spraying or otherwise of chemical fertilizers,
soil amendments, herbicides and pesticides. One or more of the outcomes
described may occur as a result of any agricultural operation, which
is in conformance with existing laws and regulations and accepted
customers and standards. If you live near an agricultural area, you
should be prepared to accept such outcomes as a normal and necessary
aspect of living in a county with a strong rural character and an
active agricultural sector. The Village of Hobart has enlisted the
Brown County Land Conservation Department to assist in the resolution
of any animal waste management disputes which might arise between
residents of the county regarding agricultural operations.
The purpose of this article is to regulate the location, construction,
installation, alteration, design and use of animal waste storage facilities
and animal feedlots so as to protect the health and safety of residents
and transients; prevent the spread of disease and promote the prosperity
and general welfare of the citizens of the Village of Hobart. It is
also intended to provide for the administration and enforcement of this
article and to provide penalties for its violation. It is also intended
to protect the groundwater and surface water resources of the Village
of Hobart.
In their interpretation and application, the provisions of this
article shall be held to be minimum requirements and shall be liberally
construed in favor of the Village of Hobart, and shall not be deemed
a limitation or repeal of any other power granted by the Wisconsin
Statutes.
This article applies only to the areas in the Village of Hobart.
Abandonment requirements apply to all animal waste storage facilities
regardless of the date of construction. Nutrient Management Plan (590)
provisions shall apply to all animal waste storage facilities issued
a permit under this article regardless of the date of construction.
Animal feedlot requirements shall apply only to sites that exceed
the prohibitions in § 185-14 of this article or the standards
in Section 10.04(1)(b), Brown County Code; or receive a notice of
discharge under Ch. 283 Wis. Statutes; or existing sites that exceed
500 animal units; or new animal feedlots that exceed 40 animal units.
Definitions herein are to conform to the provisions set forth
in the Wisconsin Administrative Code and Village of Hobart Code.

cannot be maintained within the enclosure. For purposes of these parts,
open land used for the feeding and rearing of poultry (poultry ranges)
shall be considered to be animal feedlots. Pastures shall not be considered
animal feedlots under these parts. New animal feedlots are those that
are established after the effective date of this article.

of all sources of nutrients to minimize the amount of nutrients entering
surface and groundwater. The requirements for a nutrient management
plan are as established in § ATCP 50.04(3).
