Under the Nitrates Regulations, farmers are required to maintain certain records for each calendar year and to keep these records for five years. As part of a Cross Compliance inspection carried out on 29 November 2010, the person submitted such records to the Department.

During a subsequent evaluation of these records, it was found that there was a deficiency in storage capacity of some 600m³. This is in contravention of the Nitrates regulations and a 20% penalty was recorded.

The person was informed of this decision on 20 August 2012 and of his right to seek a review. He was also informed of his right to appeal, in due course, the outcome of such review to the Independent Agriculture Appeals office. To date no request for a review has been received.

If the person wishes to have this decision reviewed, he can do so by submitting, in writing, any new evidence including any supporting documentation.
