Thanks in part to a lawsuit from the Natural Resources Defense Council, Sierra Club and Waterkeeper Alliance, the EPA has agreed to increase its oversight of manure discharges from concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs)*. The EPA estimates that CAFOs in the U.S.generate three times more bodily waste than humans do, yet CAFOs have virtually no waste treatment facilities. The lawsuit was brought in response to an EPA rule** that allowed CAFOs to make their own determination as to whether they were leaking manure into waterways that were covered by the Clean Water Act. Most didn’t volunteer to be regulated, of course, so …

Business - Livestock Water Recyclin...The management of manure in storage lagoons is one of the most difficult, expensive and potentially limiting problems facing the agricultural industry today. This problem is particularly prevalent among that portion of the agricultural industry which pertains to confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs), such as those used for swine and dairy cows. When dealing with CAFO livestock waste, water flushing is the most common practice. Typically the flushed manure is stored in earthen ponds or lagoons. Enclosed storage and treatment facilities for odour control, such as those used at municipal treatment plants, are too expensive to be practical for an agricultural operation. Therefore, CAFO's (especially hog and dairy operations) are forced to rely on the lagoon system. The material in the lagoons is too dilute for significant anaerobic digestion and does not result in adequately treated waste. LWR has developed an economical and environmentally conscious system for the handling of waste from CAFO's. This waste system eliminates the use of open lagoons, offensive odours, and the discharge of harmful contaminants and pathogens.
