LO 4. CLEAN UP ON COMPLETION OF WORK

TLE-AFAC9HC-IIf-j-4

The management of wastes treats all materials as a single class, whether

solid, liquid, gaseous or radioactive substances, and tried to reduce the harmful
environmental impacts of each through different methods.

Waste management is a distinct practice from resource recovery which

focuses on delaying the rate of consumption of natural resources.

Objective:

4.2. Clean, maintain and store tools and equipment according to

manufacturer’s specifications

Vocabulary Lists

Waste management -is the collection, transport, processing or disposal,

managing and monitoring of waste materials. The term usually relates to

to reduce their effect on health, the environment or aesthetics.

Wastes -are unwanted or useless materials.

Rubbish- useless waste or rejected matter: trash.

Slurry-a semiliquid mixture, typically of fine particles of manure,

cement, or coal suspended in water.

Pre-Assessment

Identify the following items correctly.

__________1. A farm waste location map color indicated for areas not normally
used for spreading organic wastes and mark them with an X.
_________2. A farm waste location map color indicated for all remaining areas.
These can be used for spreading at any time of the year when land and weather
conditions are suitable.

68
_________3. A farm waste location map color indicated the areas from which
there is a high risk of pollution occurring (may be part or whole fields). Farm
wastes may be applied to these areas at certain times of the year, but before
spreading always ensures that there is no risk of pollution occurring.

_________4. A farm waste location map color indicated the areas where organic
wastes should never be applied.

__________5. A farm waste location map color indicated the waterways

including any on the farm boundary

__________6. A location plan indicated a copy of your farm map color coded.

__________7. This plan is a copy of your farm map showing areas of the farm that
are suitable and unsuitable for spreading agricultural wastes.

__________8. This plan the purpose is to identify remedial works and changes in
management practice that are required to ensure a high standard of farm
waste.

_________ 9. This plan must take into account the collection, storage and
disposal of all farm wastes. Implementation of this plan will reduce the risk of
pollution and prevent the loss of valuable nutrients in slurry and farmyard
manure.

__________10. This activity covers the responsible storage, collection and

disposal of all farm waste and the preparation and implementation of a farm
waste management plan.

Farm waste management covers the responsible storage, collection and

disposal of all farm waste and the preparation and implementation of a farm
waste management plan.

The Farm Waste Management Plan

The Farm Waste Management Plan must take into account the collection,
storage and disposal of all farm wastes. Implementation of the plan will reduce
the risk of pollution and prevent the loss of valuable nutrients in slurry and
farmyard manure.

The plan consists of two parts:

• Part 1 – a completed Farm Waste Checklist for the farm. The purpose of
the checklist is to identify remedial works and changes in management
practice that are required to ensure a high standard of farm waste
management.
• Part 2 – a completed Farm Waste Location Plan. This plan is a copy of
your farm map showing areas of the farm that are suitable and unsuitable
for spreading agricultural wastes.

Farm Waste Checklist with identified remedial works/changes in

management practice This is a record of the condition of farm waste facilities
and management practices as observed at the date of completion. Completion

70
of the checklist will enable you to audit your farmyard and farm to ensure that
farm waste management standards, including disposal of manures, silage
effluent, waste plastics, fallen animals and veterinary wastes are managed to a
standard beyond current legislation and Good Farming Practice. The checklist
must be continually kept under review and updated annually. Keep the whole
farm free of rubbish, litter and anything that would detract from the appearance
of the countryside.

Farm Waste Location Plan. A farm waste location plan is a copy of your
farm map color coded as follows:

• BLUE – waterways including any on the farm boundary.

• RED – areas where organic wastes should never be applied.
• ORANGE – areas from which there is a high risk of pollution occurring
(may be part or whole fields). Farm wastes may be applied to these
areas at certain times of the year, but before spreading always
ensures that there is no risk of pollution occurring.
• GREEN – all remaining areas. These can be used for spreading at any
time of the year when land and weather conditions are suitable.
• WHITE – areas not normally used for spreading organic wastes and
mark them with an X.
