Until now, within the assessment system, the assessment and review of the location have been conducted with a focus on the odor impact on the surrounding fixed-temperature facilities and the preservation of water quality. Issues of the epidemic outbreak have not been considered. However, planned locations for epidemic prevention need to be addressed within the environmental impact assessment system since, in the event of a contagious livestock disease in livestock facilities, the possibility of contami
