Ordinances

This ordinance applies to any landowner or operator who houses livestock of any type on their property.  The purpose is to prevent manure from running out of storage facilities or off cropland where it is spread.   To ensure that all landowners are aware of the ordinance, our department conducts Livestock Waste Management Ordinance Reviews.
