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.
