It is my understanding that those cases will be decided on an individual basis. Weather is not an excuse for a blanket exemption to all farmers.From: Donna BuellSent: Sunday, December 27, 2009 8:01 AMSubject: Re: DM Register-Manure on frozen ground hearingsDoes anyone know about the "Weather" exemption? This would be a year for CAFOs to claim a free pass? Wet fall, late in getting crops in, heavy snow early... cesspools must be emptied... oh wait, the cesspool is too small for all the pigs overcrowded in the confinement, better just dump on the snow... ????Am I being pessimistic?
Thanks,Donna
