Food Processing
Sector Resource Locator
The U.S. food processing sector, as with other industrial and commercial
sectors, faces increasingly stringent environmental rules, many of which
have their roots in federal statutes and are implemented through state
laws and regulations by various agencies. Most of these rules relate
to the treatment and disposal of food processing wastes. Often, permitting,
monitoring, reporting and other regulatory requirements are implemented
by multiple agencies (e.g., composting operations may be regulated by
the environmental protection agency, department of health and department
of agriculture).
The purpose of this on-line tool is to provide quick access to:
- applicable regulations,
- state agencies that provide assistance and enforce environmental
rules, and
- resources that can help achieve environmental compliance.
Use the pulldown or the sensitive map to find links to food processing
sector environmental compliance assistance resources on state websites.
You will find general information, regulations and links to relevant
state agencies.
