Manure: Storage

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many slurry stores require updating to meet the previous Government’s target of six months of storage for slurry.

Answer

Defra recognises that sufficient storage is fundamental to good slurry management. The Water Resources (Control of Pollution) (Silage, Slurry and Agricultural Fuel Oil) (England) Regulations 2010, also known as SSAFO, set the standards for slurry storage and the Department works closely with the Environment Agency (EA) to ensure these standards are met.
