New sprayer filling area

[Outsiderofthree]

Having concreted the area of the yard where we used to fill the sprayer, I want to design and build a new sprayer filling site. I am thinking of building an insulated shed with a bundled floor feeding into a sump so that any spills can be contained and dealt with. The shed could double up as the chemical store and to store the sprayer during frost. I would want a 5000 litre tank that would fill from our borehole, but it would be good to harvest rainwater to use with chemicals sensitive to hard water.
The problem I predict is mud off the sprayer tyres dropping off in the bund and getting into the sump. Anybody got any ideas of how to overcome this? Any photos of your own set up would be welcome! Also any thoughts on design would be very welcome. We have spoken to "catchment sensitive farming" about possible grant aid. They said ring back in February when they may have funds, but are interested to help.
Maybe we should incorporate a bio bed? Do they actually work??
Any opinions welcome, thanks in advance.

To avoid mud off tyres just drive flat out on road. I think bio beds could be made compulsory so would build in provision for this. Simplest idea looks like three ibcs stacked for it to run through. Could pump it to top from bund. Their is a mix of soil and straw to put in ibcs to filter which somebody in an office has dreamt up.

Consider putting a roof on it ? IMO it will only be a matter of time before you cant park a sprayer outside in the rain washing into drains etc

we built a fill area as part of a spray store, fill area is bunded to a separate tank in case of spill and insulated building to store sprayer over winter, It was but with a bio bed in mine in the future - I can just pump from the sump tank but legislation on biobed is unclear

Didnt think you were meant to keep a sprayer outside .

Dont think they have enough evidence on how well they work yet I've asked the question if they will be future proof but they don't have a clue yet
