Sign our petition to Prohibit the application of liquid manure

New York State DEC: Prohibit the application of liquid manure on frozen and/or snow-covered soils.

Owasco Watershed Lake Association (OWLA) petitions the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to make the following modifications to the General Permit for CAFO operations, currently under review.

Prohibit the application of liquid manure:

On frozen and/or snow-covered soils,
When soils are saturated from rainfall or snowmelt, or
When a check of the 48-hour weather forecast predicts snowmelt or runoff conditions.
