Universal Citation: 126 NE Admin Rules and Regs ch 10 ยง 002

Current through November 25, 2023

002.01 Non-dedicated paunch manure application sites where less than ten (10) tons of dry paunch manure per acre per cropping season are applied and where no on-site storage (excluding storage in confined containers) is involved are exempted from permitting under Section 001. Such operations, however, must observe the minimum distance requirements contained in Sections 004.04C, 004.04D, 004.04E, transportation requirements enumerated in Section 004.01, protect adjacent wells from surface runoff and immediately incorporate the material into the soil when found necessary by the Department.

002.02 In cases where incorporation of the paunch manure into the soil is found necessary by this Department and/or the material is not being stored as specified in a permit issued by this Department; the following procedures are to be followed:

002.02A When soil and weather conditions allow, the paunch manure must be removed from or incorporated into the soil within twenty-four (24) hours or other time frame approved by this Department after notification to do so by this Department. Incorporation shall be done in compliance with Section 002.01 of this Chapter.

002.02B When soil and weather conditions do not allow immediate removal or incorporation such measures shall be completed within twenty-four (24) hours or other time frame approved by this Department after weather and soil conditions have improved sufficiently to allow this work. Incorporation shall be done in compliance with Section 002.01 of this Chapter.

002.02C In cases where immediate incorporation would normally be found necessary, paunch manure may be land applied without incorporation during winter months provided it is incorporated within thirty (30) days or other time frame approved by this Department after weather and soil conditions become favorable for such work in the spring. This incorporation shall be in compliance with Section 002.01 of this Chapter.
