Sec.22-323a-2. All intensive poultry farming operations shall meet the following minimum acceptable management practices:

(a) Premises upon which intensive poultry farms are located shall be kept free from accumulations of garbage, rubbish, vegetative growth or any other material which because of its character, condition, or improper storage constitutes or may become a breeding place or favorable habitat for flies or vermin, or may cause a threat to the environment or public health, or constitute a public nuisance.

(b) The premises on which intensive poultry farms are operated shall be maintained in such a manner as to minimize soil erosion and sedimentation of water courses.

(c) The area around buildings must be sloped to promote rapid runoff of surface water and prevent puddles and wet areas from forming.

(d) No structure housing poultry, farm wastes, or farm equipment used for intensive poultry farming shall be constructed or maintained so as to allow water or waste to move in or out of the structure when such a condition constitutes or may constitute a threat to the environment or public health, or constitute a public nuisance.

(Effective April 27, 1982)
