I'm looking into building a kiln using the Nyle 200M. Has anyone had problems with permitting or regulations regarding the operation of what I would consider a small scale lumber kiln. I know in the large mills there are regulations around kiln water discharge. I contacted the Ag dept in my county and they didn't know of any, but also said they were not in the enforcement business and I may need to contact the Co Judge. I live in the county on 40 acres and thought I would ask on here before pursuing any further. No need to stir-up a hornets nest if you know what i mean.

How much water do these things expel? I am eventually planning to get a reefer trailer going with a 200, but haven't really dove into all the nuts and bolts of things

I guess my answer is - Why poke the bear?  It's not like you are mining and drying yellow cake uranium or anything.

They are capable of taking out 30 gal/day under ideal conditions.

It's only a waste product if it has no secondary purpose, then it is "green" because it is being reutilized or recycled.  So it can be used for watering the pasture, yard, garden, etc.  It's actually a usable resource as a product that has a discernible monetary value, as it saves money on your water bill, and provides a benefit to your 40 acres.

Don't dump it in the nearest stream, and don't dump it in the sewer.

Take steps to save steps.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.
