New Manure Managment Requirements to be Presented in Dauphin County
to present recent revisions to Pennsylvania DEP’s Manure Management Manual. Under the revised requirements, all operations, regardless
of size, producing and/or land applying manure are required to develop and implement a written Manure Management Plan; these regulations
now include many farms not previously required to maintain such records such as small operations that simply pasture animals, even the
pasturing of one horse on minimal ground.
All who are affected by these regulations are encouraged to attend one of the meetings, at which opportunities to completely develop
the required Manure Management Plan will be discussed. The first will be held in conjunction with the Dauphin County Crops School Program
on Wednesday, February 1, 2012, from 8:00am-3:30pm at the Berrysburg Community Center; those interested in attending on February 1
should contact the Dauphin County Extension office at (717)921-8803. Additional meetings will be held Thursday, February 16 at the
Gratz Community Center at 1:30pm; Tuesday, February 21 at the Dauphin County Agriculture and Natural Resources Center at 7:00pm;
and Thursday, March 1 at 7:00pm at the Londonderry Township Building. Pre-registration for the latter three dates is strongly encouraged,
although not required, and can be completed by calling the Dauphin County Conservation District at (717)921-8100.
