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
