1 25 This bill amends a provision in Code chapter 455B which
1 26 provides for minimum manure control practices, as regulated by
1 27 the department of natural resources. The bill prohibits a
1 28 person from constructing or expanding an earthen manure
1 29 storage basin or an anaerobic lagoon within an agricultural

1 31 into an agricultural drainage well. A general civil penalty
1 32 provision contained in Code section 455B.191 applies to a
1 33 person who violates the bill. That Code section provides in
1 34 part that a violator is subject to a civil penalty of up to
1 35 $5,000 for each day of a violation.
