A comparable structure to open top liquid ,tanks would be a swimming pool, according to the Planning Board. The standards recommended and 'circulated to all municipalities include that the fence can be of chain link solid wood or metal or open board with a maximum opening of two inches. It must be a minimum of 60 inches high and all gates must have a self closing latch. For silo type storage tanks, the height of the ladder above ground is established by the ,Canadian Code for Farm Buildings at five feet, although most contractors use an eight foot minimum. The Ontario Farm Safety Association recommends a safety fence around an open tank. They do not have standards for the type and height of fence however. The Agricultural Code of Practice is the only method available for evaluating the type and Icoation of liquid manure storage structures. As part of the evaluation the type and, number of livestock, the ,method of manure management, the increase in size of the livestock operation and the type and size of the manure storage structure are all considered. The Board recommended that the townships paSsing by-laws concerning the construction of liquid animal waste storage tanks should include as a minimum, a requirement for a certificate of compliance and a site plan diagram. A requirement for a safety fence meeting the standards of the proposed swimming pool by-law for any portion of an open liquid tank which is less than five feet above the ground and provision of a penalty for not meeting either the provisions of the site plan diagram, or the provisions of the safety fence by-law. • The Huron County Council heard a number of recommendations from the County Planning Board at the regular council , session last Thursday concerning the by-law recommended , by council to be passed by municipalities banning open liquid animal waste storage lagoons. Following discussion at the October session of County council and meetings with the Huron County Federation of Agriculture and Jacob Pos of the University of Guelph some suggestions were put forward. Modification of the by-law to 413 require a lid, or a safety fence on an open liquid animal waste storage tank was suggested. It was also recommended that a - certificate of compliance be required prior to the issuing of a building permit for any proposed liquid manure storage tank. According to the Planning Board report there are several factors implied in the first suggestion. That any lid be constructed in such a manner that it would be • sufficiently strong to meet climatic requirements, to support additional, weight which may be addeftby people or animals which may accidentally venture on to the lid, and be provided with an adequate closure to prevent access to the tank by children or 'animals. Also, that any safety fence be high enough, solid enough, and strong enough to prevent access to the tank by children and animals, and be provided with an adequate closure to prevent access to the tank by children• or animals. There are several factors as well, implied in the second suggestion. That the provisions of the Agricultural Code of Practice will be an adequate -method of evaluating a livestock operation and its manure handling facilities, and that the municipality can enforce • the provisions of the Agricultural Code of Practice. The structural strength of the lid of the tank is covered' by the Ontario Building Code, and the provisions of the Canadian Code for Farm Buildings. It is, under the provisions of the Ontario Building Code, the contractors responsibility to ensure structural sufficiency. Standards for a safety fence are, however, not covered by the Canadian Code for Farm Somebody • Wants What You Don't Need!
