What do I need to do?

Reinforce the concrete base to minimize cracking.
Lay concrete in bays and treat all joints with effluent-resistant sealant.
* Only fully load concrete after 28 days (when design strength is achieved).
* Do not roof over the outside yard receiving aid.
What evidence do I need?
You must keep written support from your Catchment Sensitive Farming adviser and provide with your application.
You must also keep and provide with your claim:
photographs of the site during the different stages of construction or contracts, invoices or other documents confirming the technical specification for the completed works
photographs of the completed works
* any consents or permissions from the local planning authority
