The Standard Costings used for the revised Farm Waste Management Scheme are currently under review.

Revised costings will be introduced following completion of that review.

With regard to rainwater, the technical specifications for farm buildings operated by my Department for the purposes of the revised Farm Waste Management Scheme require the installation of adequate arrangements for the separation of clean and dirty water as part of the conditions of any new investment.

In addition, I have added the installation of guttering on existing buildings as a further new eligible item in the terms of the revised Scheme.
