heard from William La Cour,
a planning analyst with the
Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Resources
solid waste division. La Cour
explained some of the
problems farmers will be
facing from tighter en
vironmental controls in the
next few years. Although
Pennsylvania law requires
permits for handlers of solid
waste, La Cour said farmers
are specifically exempted
from the permit
requirement. He did say,
though, that farmers may
have to develop plans for the
disposal of animal waste,
and that these plans would
have to incorporate methods
of controlling runoff, odors,
and flies.
The department, La Cour
said, is trying to keep from
interfering with normal
farm operations. “We’re
working very hard now to try
and define exactly what is a
‘normal’ farm operation,”
he commented. “An average
dairy farm or beef operation
would certainly be con
sidered normal. A large

Lancaster Farming. Saturday, March 1,1975
A group of bankers looks over the
Slurry Store installation on the Myers
Brothers farm in Penn Township,
Lancaster County, during a special
tour for bankers on Thursday af
ternoon. The installation, erected by
A. O. Smith Harvestore, is the first of
its kind in the East.
sidered normal, and they
might need a permit to
operate.
“DER is trying to stress
recycling in all areas of solid
waste, including animal
wastes. There are 20 million
tons of animal wastes
produced every year in
Pennsylvania, so we could
have a problem. We’d like to
see manure kept until the
ground isn’t frozen. We’d
like to see manure applied to
the soil at a rate that does not
exceed the soil’s capacity to
hold water and nitrogen.
“Traditional methods for
spreading manure are going
to work fine as long as they
don’t conflict with en
vironmental considerations.
At DER, we’ve worked out
some general guidelines for
spreading manure. Spread
evenly and at the proper
rate; subsurface injection
may be necessary
sometimes. Don’t spread on
land with more than a 25-
percent slope. Don’t spread
on snow-covered or frozen
ground, or within 100 feet of a
well or stream. Don’t spread
in the areas of sinkholes. And
store manure so runoff and
drainage don’t discharge
into surface waters.”
Frank Possessky, sales
supervisor for Penn-Jersey
Harvestore, told the bankers
that the Slurrystore could
eliminate some of the

problems La Cour referred
to. “And with nitrogen
selling for 30-cents a pound,”
he added, “manure becomes
more and more valuable all
the tune as a fertilizer. This
king of liquid system can
help to preserve that fer
tilizer value.”
Carl Brown, manager of
the Lancaster office of
Production Credit
Association, told his banking
comrades why they financed
the project. “We’ve got
clients out there just as you
have,” Brown said, “and
there may come a time when
livestock farmers will need
more sophisticated manure
handling equipment if they
want to stay in business. I
know manure storage
doesn’t relate to dollars right
away. But a farmer who’s
operating a big dairy farm,
for example, might be forced
to shut down some day if he
doesn’t have the equipment
to dispose of his manure in a
way that meets legal
requirements.”
