1 25 b. A drainage district as established pursuant to chapter
1 26 468, if an agricultural drainage well is located within the

1 28 EXPLANATION
1 29 This bill amends a provision in Code chapter 455B which
1 30 provides for minimum manure control practices as regulated by
1 31 the department of natural resources. The bill prohibits a
1 32 person from constructing or expanding an earthen manure
1 33 storage basin or an anaerobic lagoon within the boundaries of
1 34 two specific areas. The first area is an agricultural
1 35 drainage well basin where surface and subsurface water drains
2 1 into an agricultural drainage well. The second area is a
2 2 drainage district, if an agricultural drainage well is located
2 3 in the drainage district. A general civil penalty provision
2 4 contained in Code section 455B.191 applies to a person who
2 5 violates the bill. That Code section provides in part that a
2 6 violator is subject to a $5,000 civil penalty for each day of
2 7 a violation.
