North Dakota Odor Footprint Tool

The North Dakota Odor Footprint Tool helps livestock producers and planners estimate odor impacts and visualize setback distances using GIS mapping and science-based modeling.

Procedure to use NDOFT:

Estimate and visualize odor impacts for livestock operations using an interactive map.

  1. Select your site location by searching an address or selecting a county.
  2. Configure each odor source (type, housing/storage system, surface dimensions, and control measures).
  3. View annoyance-free setback distances instantly on the map.
  4. Generate a professional PDF report for planning and regulatory compliance.
