Okla. Stat. tit. 2, § 2-20-13: Irrigation systems
Where this section sits in the code
- OK Code
- Title 2
A. All irrigation systems into which any swine waste will be
injected shall be equipped with one or both of the following
systems:
1. An antipollution system, approved by the State Board of
Agriculture, capable of preventing the backflow of swine waste into
the groundwater. The system shall include a safety check valve with
a removable inspection port, anti-syphon vent, and low-pressure
escape drain. An interlock device shall be installed on pumps that
pump the swine waste so that if a fresh water irrigation pump shuts
down, the pump that pumps the swine waste will also immediately shut
down, preventing the chance of leakage past the check valve; or
2. A system which provides for a complete and total
disconnection between the flow of fresh water and the flow of swine
waste. The system shall be capable of a manual disconnection
between fresh water and the swine waste.
B. The Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry
shall make annual on-site inspections examining the operative status
of the check valves and interlock devices.
C. The operator of the irrigation system shall be responsible
to ensure:
1. That the valves and interlock devices remain operative
between annual inspections by the Department; or
2. Complete disconnection from fresh water when introducing
swine waste into the system.
