No animal waste storage facility or parts thereof may be located,
installed, moved, reconstructed, extended, enlarged, converted, substantially
altered or its use changed without an animal waste storage facility
permit as provided in this chapter, and without compliance with the
provisions of this chapter. The requirements of this chapter shall
be in addition to any other chapter or administrative rule regulating
animal waste storage or applicable technical standards. In the case
of conflict, the most stringent provisions shall apply.
Emergency repairs such as repairing a broken pipe or equipment, leaking dikes or the removal of stoppages may be performed without an animal waste storage facility permit. Such work shall be reported to the administering authority as soon as possible with a maximum of two working days for a determination as to whether an animal waste storage facility permit will be required for an additional alteration or repair to the facility. The administering authority may consult with the Village Board prior to making this determination. This chapter shall not require a permit for routine maintenance or repair of an existing animal waste storage facility or transfer equipment. In addition, no permit is required for barnyard construction or alteration which does not meet the definition of animal waste storage facility in §
119-11 of this chapter.
All permits issued under this chapter shall be subject to the
following conditions and requirements in addition to any other conditions
or requirements imposed by the administering authority, Village Board,
other state agencies or local units of government:
A. Design and construction shall be carried out in accordance with the animal waste storage facility plan and applicable standards specified in §
119-24.
B. The permittee shall give two working day's notice to the administering
authority before starting any construction activity authorized by
the permit.
C. The permittee certifies in writing that all other state, county,
Village, Army Corps of Engineers or other state or federally required
permits will be obtained from the appropriate authorities. The administering
authority may require proof of any permit known to be needed prior
to issuing an animal waste storage facility permit.
D. Approval in writing must be obtained from the administering authority
prior to any modifications to the approved animal waste storage facility
plan.
E. The permittee and, if applicable, the contractor or professional
engineer, licensed in the State of Wisconsin, shall certify in writing
that the facility was installed as planned and designed. A copy of
the signed certification sheet shall be given to the administering
authority within 30 days of completion of installation. Administering
authority personnel may conduct site inspection during and following
construction to determine that the facility was installed as planned
and designed. Any approved changes made to the animal waste storage
facility plans shall be specified in the certification sheet and approved
by the administering authority.
F. Unless an extension is granted by the administering authority, all
activities authorized by permit must be completed within two years
from the date of issuance after which such permit shall be void.
The administering authority may revoke any permit issued under
this chapter if the holder of the permit has misrepresented any material
fact in the permit application or animal waste storage facility plan,
or if the holder of the permit violates any of the conditions of the
permit. The permittee shall be immediately notified of the revocation
in writing giving the reason(s) for revocation.
