Welcome to the only Website Designed to Provide Resources and Consultancy Services in Slurry Storage for UK SSAFO Regs Compliance

This web site has been created to help you, as a farmer or farming organisation employee, to understand and comply with the requirements of The Water Resources (Control of Pollution) (Silage, Slurry and Agricultural Fuel Oil) Regulations 2010.

You have probably heard these being referred to as SSAFO and they apply in England and Wales. Other similar requiements are also included in separate local regulations for Scotland and Northern Ireland.

These regulations have been in place since 1 January 2012

WARNING: All farms in Nitrate Sensitive Areas should now be in compliance...

The Environment Agency now in the enforcement stage for the areas included as from the start of this year and many have needed to enlarge their slurry storage to comply with the Nitrate Pollution Prevention Regulations 2008 (NVZ Regulations).

The regulations require livestock farmers to provide sufficient storage for slurry produced by their animals while they are kept in a yard or building during certain months of the year.

New areas may be included within the regulations for 2013, so don't delay. Contact us about your needs. We are independent of all manufacturers and suppliers and will give you unbiased advice across all the feasible solutions.
