Current through November 25, 2023
004.01
Transportation: In all instances, paunch manure hauled within a metropolitan
city shall be hauled in a splashproof, tightly covered container. In other
areas transportation of paunch manure over public roads, or near an inhabited
residence, business, or facility/area (excluding public roads) shall be done in
a leak-proof, tightly covered, splashproof container when found
necessary.
004.02 Storage of paunch
manure at the application site must be done under the following conditions.
004.02A Prevention of discharges to waters of
the State.
004.02B If the material
will stand in a pile such that the height is 20% of the width when placed
unconfined on a flat surface, it may be stored in a windrow or static pile in
an area meeting the design criteria set out in Appendix I. If it will not stand
as specified in this section, it shall be stored in a lagoon meeting the design
criteria set out in Appendix I. Alternatively, paunch manure may be stored in a
container as defined in Chapter 1, 005.
004.03 Application rates shall not exceed
those specified in the permit. Application rates will be approved for
permitting purposes taking into consideration:
004.03A Protection of waters of the
State.
004.03B Any other State or
Federal Regulations applying to this practice.
004.04 Land and Location Considerations
004.04A Unless the applicant can demonstrate
to the Department's satisfaction that pollution of waters of the state will not
result, paunch manure shall not be surface applied on land with greater than 5%
slope when the ground is frozen.
004.04B Unless the applicant can demonstrate
to the Department's satisfaction that pollution of waters of the state will not
result, paunch manure shall not be surface applied on land with greater than
10% slope unless incorporated immediately.
004.04C Paunch manure shall not be applied on
wetland areas.
004.04D Paunch
manure shall not be applied within one thousand (1000) feet of inhabited
dwellings, businesses, or facilities or lands (excluding public roads)
frequented by the public without documented permission (submitted to this
Department) from the owners (and in the case of a dwelling, the residents) of
such dwelling, business, facility, or lands. This requirement does not apply to
subsurface injection.
004.04E
Paunch manure shall not be applied within five hundred (500) feet of a
municipal water supply well. Diking or other procedures may be required to
protect nearby wells from surface runoff if found necessary.
004.05 Crop Considerations
004.05A Paunch manure shall not be applied to
edible portions of crops that are consumed by humans without processing to
minimize pathogens prior to consumption.
004.06 General Considerations
004.06A Application of paunch manure may be
made by any method which injects or disperses the material so that a uniform
application is achieved.
004.06B
Application of material shall be to land properly selected and managed in such
a manner so that:
004.06B1 No pollution of
water of the State results.
004.06B2 A dewatering of the material may be
required either at the source or the application site to reduce the potential
for flies and odors and improve the operation. In the case where such a
dewatering facility is located at the site, engineering plans and
specifications must be submitted to this Department for approval. Such
facilities must meet the design requirements for storage facilities set out in
Appendix I.
