Earthen manure storage seepage : a study of five typical sites

Description

With the increasing concerns about manure storage in agriculture, a study was done to look into manure seepage from several earthen manure storages built 10 to 20 years ago. The storages had no engineering design and were not built to today's standards. They were located on a variety of soil conditions. This is a summary of the interim report on "A Survey of the Environmental Security of Earthen Manure Storage Ponds in Alberta."
