The applicant brought an odour, noise, and dust complaint against the neighbouring dairy farm under the Farm Practices Protection Act.

The Board found that the respondents' practices regarding corn milling and general manure storage were normal farm practices and dismissed those aspects of the complaint.

However, the Board concluded that allowing rain water to run through a concrete manure pad and parking manure spreaders near the applicant's home were not normal farm practices.

The Board ordered the respondents to construct a berm to divert water and to park their equipment in a designated machinery yard.
