must be applied to agricultural land at rates which do not exceed the rates at which the water and nutrients can be assimilated by plants and removed from the area in harvested produce or safely stored in the soil or safely released into the environment in an acceptable form. The rate of application and volume applied should be such that no surface runoff occurs, excessive deep percolation is avoided and no ponding is evident one hour after application Unless unusual weather patterns prevent, the storage lagoon must be lowered to bottom water level by the anticipated beginning of winter. 10. Carcase disposal must be undertaken in a manner which avoids environmental harm or nuisance. 11. Community amenity The feedlot must be operated in a manner which avoids unreasonable interference with the comfortable enjoyment of life and property off-site, or with off-site commercial activity. It is advisable to have a regular and open, two way, communication with neighbours, to avoid problems and to allow for the speedy resolution of any complaints. 12. Incident Monitoring and Recording Records of all incidents which have the potential to impact on the environment should be maintained. The records which should be maintained include the time, date and duration of the incident details of corrective measures the results of assessments of the environmental impacts caused by the incident details of any increase in cattle mortalities details of changes in management which may result in enhanced environmental performance. 13. Incident Reporting Licensed feedlots may be required to submit annual reports to the Environment Protection Authority. As soon as practical after becoming aware of an incident which has the potential to cause environmental harm the feedlot operator must inform the Environment Protection Authority. Details of any sudden increase in cattle mortalities must be notified to the Chief Inspector of Stock. 14. National Pollutant Inventory Reporting All feedlots which exceed trigger level emissions of substances listed on the National Pollutant Inventory (NPI) substance list must estimate the level of emissions and report the emissions to the Environment Protection Authority.
