Spreading of urban sludge, industrial waste and livestock effluents on agricultural land - Comparison of regulations in October 2000

Abstract

The objective of this document is first to make a comparison of regulatory texts relating to muck-spreading on agricultural land. The process is based on the European directive 91/676/CEE, which is interested in the whole of the fertilizing contributions containing nitrogen on each agricultural parcel but also on the regulatory texts relating to the classified installations like those relating to water. The nature of the products spread is waste resulting from local districts and industry as well as the effluents of breeding. These matters are spread only because they contain nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Lastly, the principal initiatives in progress to produce and make circulate information muck-spreading are presented. This work fits into a research topic on information systems to aid decision-making, as applied to clean and integrated farming.
