The containment area must be constructed of concrete of sufficient strength to withstand the load weight of vehicles which will be on the containment area, and the containment area must be large enough to prevent spillage onto unprotected areas. The containment area must be designed to allow the collection of spilled materials. The containment area must be constructed, using curbs or other means, to prevent spilled materials from running out of the containment area. Any accumulated liquid or material, that contains fertilizer, within the containment area must be applied to a field or fields at normal fertilizer rates or used in a liquid mixing operation. This section also applies when a commercial fertilizer is combined with a pesticide. When the accumulated liquid or material contains a pesticide, the accumulated liquid or material must be applied to a field or fields at normal pesticide application rates or used in a liquid mixing operation.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Source:</b> 15 SDR 194, effective July 1, 1989.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>General Authority:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=38-19-36">38-19-36</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=38-19-36.1">38-19-36.1</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=38-19-36.2">38-19-36.2.</A></p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Law Implemented:</b> SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=38-19-36">38-19-36</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=38-19-36.1">38-19-36.1</A>, <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=38-19-36.2">38-19-36.2.</A></p> </div> </body> </html>
