North Carolina Tightens Manure Regulations

摘要

The clock is ticking in North Carolina where hog operations must meet new regulations in 1997. The regulations include passing a manure management certification test and following waste management plans. After the deadlines, any hog farm not meeting these regulations may be subject to fines. These regulations are part of a plan to shore up manure management practices in North Carolina. The rule requiring manure management training and testing was passed last summer after lagoon spills rocked the state. The waste management plan rules were passed in 1993.
