However, it is easy to get caught out with quite serious implications. They have had some updates and amendments over the years, but the fundamentals have remained.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had a call from a farmer\ndisappointed that the Environment Agency was questioning his recently built\nearth banked silage pit \u2013 in fact requiring him to bring his pit up to a\n28-year-old standard. New earth banked silage pits have not been allowed in\nEngland and Wales since 1991 (the rules in Scotland are different). &nbsp;The rules stipulate a silage pit must have an\nimpervious base and an exterior drain running to an effluent tank (of a\nspecified size). The structure must have a 20-year life (with maintenance) and\nthe effluent tank must have a 20 year life without maintenance.&nbsp; It does\nnot have to have walls but if it does (these cannot be earth banks) the drain\nmust be on the outside of the wall. The walls must be built build to the\nnecessary British Standards. It must not be sited within 10 metres of a water\ncourse. The document with full specifications for silage pits, (and also\nslurry\/manure stores and fuel oil tanks) is freely available in the publication\nCIRIA C759a&amp;b. From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ciria.org\">www.ciria.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These mistakes are costly but can easily be avoided with good advice and proper planning. It really is false economy to avoid the rules and hope you won\u2019t get caught. If you have further questions relating to farm infrastructure for silage pits, slurry and manure stores or dairy building infrastructure please don\u2019t hesitate to contact me. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Paul Henman The Storing Silage Slurry Agriculture Fuel Oils (SSAFO) Regulations introduced in 1991 are heading towards 30 years old. \u00a0They don\u2019t make great bedtime reading and you would be forgiven for not knowing them off by heart.
