[QUOTE="Princess Pooper, post: 4601094, member: 971"] Dirty water is NOT subject to a closed period which is why farmers are encouraged to not let dirty water into slurry as it then becomes slurry. Our dirty water is stored in separate tanks to our slurry and we can pump it as long as the ground is not waterlogged or frozen hard. Parlour washings are dirty water. Rain falling onto 'lightly soiled surfaces' becomes dirty water. So what you scrape off the collecting yard is slurry. If it then rains onto the yard then the resulting liquid is dirty water and can drain into a dirty water system, as long as the yard is regularly scraped to remove the slurry. If you have cows feeding and loafing on the collecting yard all day then they are more likely to say it's all slurry - some nice grey areas there, but that is the general break-down of it. [/QUOTE]
