§ 33513 Waste Disposal Near Dairies

Key Takeaways

  • •Human waste must be thrown away properly using toilets, septic tanks, or approved pits.
  • •Toilets must be built and kept clean so waste doesn’t attract flies or dirty the soil or water.
  • •No waste pits or chemical toilets are allowed near milking areas (100 feet from milk storage, 50 feet from milking spots).

Example

A farmer builds an outhouse too close to the barn where cows are milked.

This is against the law because the waste could make the milk dirty or unsafe. The outhouse must be moved farther away.

Human excreta or other human wastes shall be properly disposed of by the use of flush toilets and septic tanks, approved pits, or chemical toilets. Such toilets shall be conveniently located and properly constructed, operated, and maintained, so that the waste is inaccessible to flies and does not pollute the surface soil or contaminate any water supply. No approved pit or chemical toilet, however, shall be permitted within 100 feet of the milk house or room or within 50 feet of any milking barn, stanchions, or other place where milking is done. (Enacted by Stats. 1967, Ch. 15.)
