Ms Laura Burke:

It is a job for the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. In the context of assessing any intensive agriculture activity, we must, as part of our assessment, look at what is happening with the manure being produced and the landowner must demonstrate to us that they have sufficient lands for land-spreading that material and will comply with the requirements of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. It is important that roles are not duplicated between the EPA and the Department.
