Recognizing that as a result of recent heavy rainfall events, many swine waste lagoons may be nearing or already at freeboard limits, the Division of Water Resources has extended the application window for Bermuda until October 20th.
See below for more information. Here is a copy of the memo issued by the Division.

1. This extension applies only to Bermuda crops with an application window that expired on September 30, 2015.
2. The owner of the animal operation must have the Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) amended by a Technical Specialist to reflect the extended application window. The owner must keep this temporary amendment with the WUP for review during the farm's annual inspection.
3. The application of waste during this extended period shall not exceed the specified PAN rates for each field.
The extended application window must end no later than October 20, 2015 and is valid for this year only.
