LIMERICK City and County Council has sought to remind farmers of their obligation to ensure effluents arising from silage operations are collected, stored, and managed in accordance with EU regulations.
According to the Council, silage effluent is “one of the most potent agricultural pollutants and its impact on the aquatic environment can be devastating”.
The Council warned farmers that they are responsible for being compliant with EU regulations and ensuring effluents resulting from silage are collected, stored, managed, and that water quality is not impacted.
They must also ensure that the silage base and associated collecting channels are free from defects.
