RIlE ofthe 4

'h

P.M. in Lee County

Livestock waste management facilities consisting

of one concrete manure pit (49.5 ft. x 24 ft. x 2

ft. deep) with the slotted concrete portion ofthe floor over the manure pit under building A; two

concrete manure pits (each

256 ft. x 5 ft. x 2 ft. deep) and one concrete manure pit (256 ft. x 8 ft.

x 2 ft. deep) with the slotted concrete portion of the floor over the manure pits under building B;

These livestock waste management facilities are used to collect, transport and/or store livestock

wastes prior

primary purpose

ofeliminating, preventing, or reducing water pollution, or as otherwise provided in this

section, and therefore eligible for
