NAC584.2181. Storage and disposal of waste.

     1. The owner or operator of a dairy must obtain the approval of the Commission for each installation of a tank for the storage of liquid manure.

     2. Liquid waste may be disposed of in irrigation water only if that water is confined to the land belonging to the owner of the dairy or is used on land for which permission has been granted to dispose of the waste. In no case may any water containing that waste enter into any stream or slough or otherwise leave the land concerned.

     3. The tanks must be constructed to prevent seepage to adjacent areas and to prevent the waste from becoming a nuisance.

     4. All drains leading to the tank for liquid manure must contain traps. Pipe for the drain must be a minimum of 4 inches in diameter and be laid with a grade that assures adequate drainage without regard to the volumes of liquid.
