(A) Manure shall be removed from any yard, corral, barn, enclosure or any other structure used for the purpose of housing, keeping or caring for an animal or livestock as often as necessary to maintain a sanitary premise that will not cause a hazard to the health of an animal or livestock. However, manure may be composted or distributed evenly in a thin layer in turnouts or round pens for purposes of dust control.
(B) Drinking troughs shall contain clean and fresh water and shall be provided with adequateoverflow drainage, and such drainage shall be controlled so as to prohibit any flow onto adjoining properties or the breeding of mosquitoes or other noxious insects. Livestock must have access to drinking water at all times.
(C) Manure shall not be accumulated in any place or in any manner whereby it may affect a source of drinking water or groundwater.
(D) Spillage and leftovers from animal feedings shall be disposed of in such a manner that insect or rodent breeding or obnoxious odors do not exist.
(E) Manure shall be located on the property on which the animals or livestock generating the manure are kept or harbored so as to prevent the manure from entering onto an adjoining property. Reasonable containment procedures shall take into consideration acts of nature, such as rainfall and wind, as well as natural drainage courses and sloping terrain.
