This book was released on 1986 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the legislation of thirty-five states and synthesized the guidelines for manure disposal. The focus of the study was to aggregate the common rules and regulations in the legislation of the thirty-five states, to develop guidelines which will assist educators, and to develop a decision taxonomy which will improve the selection of animal wastes mangement practices. This research was conducted as a field study and was based on two sources of information, a literature review and a requesting letter. The information from thirty-five responding states was practically analyzed. The guidelines regarding waste management of each state were compiled into resumes which include the same information for each state. The information from the resumes was organized into chart form for easier access. The data present in both the chart and the resumes were practically analized according to the number of required guidelines for each state, the number of states which require each guideline, and a comparison by state. A decision taxonomy of animal waste management was developed to outline techniques which are cost effective and environmentally sound. No practical relationships appeared when the states' legislations were compared based on demographic similarities and differences. The only slight relationship was found when comparing milk producing states. Regulated areas vary within the large milk producing states. There is also often a discrepancy between the regulations of small milk producing states and large milk producers. In some areas the two groups were in agreement, and in some areas, they disagreed. Based on a practical analysis, there was no trend of evidence which would allow for generalization of practices among the states even when the states are demographically similar. The data were organized into four easy-to-follow segments to provide educational literature which is convenient to use.

Download or read book Planning and Zoning for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations written by James Schwab and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) have generated more land-use controversy than most rural areas have seen in decades. They often locate in communities that lack the planning and zoning tools to deal with their impacts. Matters are often complicated by state laws limiting local zoning authority over agriculture. This report examines the regulatory options open to rural communities, the practical challenges of acquiring needed expertise to evaluate proposed uses, and the environmental and social impacts that can be expected from this industry. It offers regulatory alternatives for local communities based on the realities of their own legal and enforcement capacities.

Download or read book Management of Animal Waste written by Amer El-Ahraf and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1996-03-14 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animal agriculture is a major industry in the United States and around the world. Like all major industries, animal operations generate a significant amount of waste by-products, by-products which represent serious potential environmental pollutants. This work is an attempt to help those concerned with animal waste management—agricultural economists and policy-makers, environmental and public health officers, farmers, and so on—deal with this critical issue by addressing the problems generated by animal waste within a comprehensive management approach. As animal production worldwide has taken on the characteristics of an industrial operation, the implications of large quantities of waste—disposal and/or refuse—must be analyzed in environmental, economic, and public health terms. This work provides such an analysis.

Book excerpt: Clean and environmentally sound disposal of animal waste in the quantities that Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) produce can only be described as a challenge. Designed to provide practical information, Environmental Management of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) covers the concepts and practices involved in the operation and maintenance of CAFOs, paying particular attention to regulatory requirements and compliance and Best Available Technology (BAT) practices. Presenting an overview of federal, state, and local regulations and discussing US Department of Agriculture's CNMP, the book includes information and data that can be used for planning and designing waste management systems and system components as well as for selecting waste handling equipment. The authors describe the various types of manure/wastewater storage and handling systems and, using data derived from the NRCS/USDA, focus on the costs involved in the operational needs of these systems. They describe soil agricultural waste interactions and those soil properties and characteristics that affect soil sustainability and limitations for a farmstead. They also discuss the pollutants associated with livestock and poultry operations, the pathways by which the pollutants reach surface water, and their impacts on the environment and human health. Pulling information from a wide range of sources, the book's coverage moves from regulations to social and ethical issues, and on to specific technologies for a particular species. This comprehensive resource is tailored to the information needs of the practicing agronomist, rural community authorities, and other personnel involved in animal feeding operations.
