Information

LSA document number LSA #21-540
Description of rule

OVERVIEW: Amends Indiana State Board of Animal Health (BOAH) rules governing animal carcass
disposal. Amends 345 IAC 7-7 to authorize the state veterinarian to approve an extension of time or alternate
method for animal carcass disposal in response to an animal disease outbreak, weather emergency, or other
catastrophic event. The proposed rule authorizes disposal of animal carcasses and condemned and inedible
waste by above ground burial and establishes standards for this method, and adds a new section to relocate
burial standards for animal carcasses and condemned and inedible waste and amends these standards. The rule
clarifies what constitutes thoroughly and completely composted, incinerated, and digested material, and also
clarifies the requirements for commercial carcass and inedible waste disposal facilities. Questions and comments
concerning the proposed rule may be sent to the Small Business Regulatory Coordinator for this rule. Statutory
authority: IC 15-17-3-21.
