, • Tuckersmith okays manure tank bylaw
•
A debate on details of a
proposed bylaw to govern
liquid manure pits in the
township which has been
under way for several
months was concluded
Tuesday night when
Tuckersmith council passed
the by-law. Recognizing
liquid manure as a potential
cause of water and air
pollution the bylaw regulates
the erection and use of liquid
manure pits in the township.
The bylaw which will be
effective immediately, has
been discussed at length as
Council struggled to come up
with necessary controls
which at the same time
would be generally ac-
ceptable and which would be
realistic and practical.
Included in the by-law is
the requirement that all
liquid manure pits be con-
structed of solid steel or
concrete and have a solid

steel or concrete covering, or
be constructed of solid steel
or concrete two feet above
grade and have a solid en-
closure to a minimum
distance of ten feet above
grade.
Robert Broadfoot of
Brucefield, who has attended
the council meetings when
the by-law was being
debated, convinced council
that if they went for their
proposal to go four feet
above grade then a person
would need a pumping
system and there would be
three feet of waste space, but
at two feet above grade then
only one foot was not usable.
He was successful as well in
gaining agreement to lower
the top enclosure
requirement to ten feet
rather than twelve feet.
Other regulations that no
run-off or seepage is to enter
any municipal drain; the pits
are to be properly and ef-
ficiently maintained and
operated according to the
ministry of agriculture .and
