Senate Bill 1693, which was passed by the Texas Legislature and signed by Governor Perry in June, has implications for producers who apply poultry litter to their property or land they lease.
Beginning September 1, 2009,
"A person that purchases or obtains poultry litter for land application must maintain until the second anniversary of the date of application a signed and dated proof of delivery document for every load of poultry litter applied to land. The landowner or the owner's tenant or agent shall note on the document the date or dates on which the poultry litter was applied to the land."
"The commission [Texas Commission on Environmental Quality] may inspect any record required to be maintained under this subchapter."
