    Can you spread slurry effluent during the closed period? I know a man that water leaked into his slatted tank which was partly filled with slurry and he believes it's legal to spread it. I thought you could only spread it with less than 1% solids.

    Surely it's illegal why else would you need storage for rain water in open tanks.

    We have a slatted tank that takes the water off the yard, only have 14 cattle in that particular shed since last weekend, (ones we have separated as they need blackleg booster & dosing next weekend) rang the dept to know if it was ok to empty it as it was already emptied last spring but with all the recent rain we were afraid it would be full before the new spreading season started - they said spread away as its only water

    Dirty water has go into a separate tank. If the likes of dairy washings goes into same tank as cow dung it's classed as slurry.
