B. On June 11, 1997, with permission for installation under Article 11 of the Act on the Management and Use of Livestock Excreta (hereinafter “the instant permission”), the Plaintiff installed livestock excreta and disposal facilities, such as livestock excreta-generating facilities, composting facilities, and liquidization facilities to operate the said farm.
