7 Pa. Code § 82.4 - Site
(a) Sites used for
camps shall be adequately drained. A site may not be located within 500 feet of
swamps, pools, sink holes or other surface collections of water unless the
quiescent water surfaces can be subjected to mosquito control measures. The
camp shall be located so the drainage from and through the camp will not
endanger domestic or public water supply, or otherwise create a health hazard
or nuisance. Sites shall be graded, ditched and rendered free from depressions
in which water may become a nuisance.
(b) A camp site may not be located in, along,
across or projecting into floodways or flood channels of a stream or other body
of water, or in areas which are subject to ordinary or precedented flood
flows.
(c) The principal camp area
in which food is prepared and served and where sleeping quarters are located
shall be at least 500 feet from an area in which livestock is kept unless the
Department determines the following:
(1) The
camp facilities in question were constructed prior to January 2,
1981.
(2) The camp facilities are
located at least 50 feet from an area in which livestock are kept or are
located at a site which was approved in writing by the Department.
(3) Adequate steps are being taken to avoid
the creation of unsanitary conditions and to control vectors.
(4) No practical alternatives exist to
increase the separation between the camp and areas in which livestock are
kept.
(d) The grounds and
open area of the seasonal farm labor camp shall be maintained in a clean and
sanitary condition free from rubbish, debris, waste paper, garbage, noxious
plants, uncontrolled weeds or brush, abandoned automobiles or other
refuse.
(e) Whenever the camp is
closed for the season or permanently, garbage, manure and other refuse shall be
collected and so disposed as to prevent nuisance. Abandoned privy pits shall be
filled with earth and the grounds and buildings left in a clean and sanitary
condition. If privy buildings remain, they shall be locked or otherwise secured
to prevent entrance.
(f) Animal
wastes used or generated on the farm for agricultural purposes within 500 feet
of a seasonal farm labor camp shall be properly managed so as not to be a
nuisance or fly-breeding medium.
