FRANTZ This is the first of a series of a columns dealing with legislation, proposed and current, dealing with problems of environmental control. The livestock industry of the state is some what bewildered by the recent ruling of administrative building council of the state Their ruling, backed by an opinion from the AttorneyGenerals office, is that buildings for the purpose of housing livestock are not farm service buildings and therefore must meet the requirements of the state building code This means that any building over 30.000 cubic feet must have plans and specifications submitted to the state building commissioner for approval The plans must have the seal of the registered professional engineer and must be designed to meet the state building code The effective date is January 1. 1971. Think for a minute what this means to the poultry industry in Kosciusko county, already in earnest competition with the southern states where building costs simply due to weather are decidely lower than ours. The State Poultry Association asked for a variance in this ruling. It was denied The building council gave several reasons One is while the law excludes ‘’farm service building,” poultry houses are not

that. Farm .service buildings are those which provides service facilities to the farm, whatever that means. They also stated that employees would be using the buildings. This may or may not be the case. Their anxiety to get into the environmental act showed through in their next reason for denying the request. They stated this, “It is very definitely the feeling of both the administrative building council and representatives of the state board of health, that waste removal and control in the aspects of water and sewage contamination and pollution are involved and therefore, plans will need to be submitted to the state board of health and this is done through our office.” They are referring to the office of the building commissioner Livestock producers are not opposed to the proper procedures for manure disposal. Farmers are totally aware of environmental problems. They live and work in the field of biological science. Their leadership has even proposed that a licensing system for new installations be used. Their reasoning is simply that they want someone who has authority to disapprove an installation because of pollution, to also have the responsibility of saying that it is all right. They do not like the side door approach of the building commissioner. Another reason given for the ruling is that there is always the chance of secondary use or a second owner using the building for something else We have asked the agricultural engineers at Purdue to appraise the effect of this new rilling on poultry building costs. They estimate that building costs would increase from 50 to 100 per cent. They say materials costs would go up 20 to 30 per cent, engineering and inspection up 10 to 20 per cent, special requirements of the code would raise the costs 20 to 50 per cent. The poultry industry in Indiana is in an actual life or death competitive struggle with the southern states. Margins as little as a fraction of a cent per dozen may mean continuation or foreclosure. They can't announce price increases for their products like General Motors did last week We think that some state officials made a bad interpretation of the law, possibly for the wrong reasons We do not think that livestock buildings are necessarily in the same category as places of industrial employment, parking garages, shopping centers, etc. and we hope that the legislature will be specific unmaking a correction.
