ANR-954 Selecting, Planning, And Managing Dairy Waste Storage Ponds

**ANR-954, New Oct 1995.** By **Ted W. Tyson,** *Extension Agricultural Engineer,* Associate Professor, Agricultural Engineering, Auburn University
Selecting, Planning, And Managing Dairy Waste Storage Ponds

To satisfy Alabama's agricultural "no discharge" water quality concept, dairy operators can choose from three predominant types of dairy waste management systems: daily scrape and haul, lagoon-gutter flush, and waste storage pond. These systems share some common activities, and when properly planned and managed, each allows for the necessary basic functions of waste collection, transfer, and land application.

Daily scrape and haul has the advantage of bypassing the treatment-storage option of the other methods. However, because of the high daily labor needed and the constraints of timing land applications, this method is most applicable to dairy herds of 100 cows or less. The other two systems--lagoon-gutter flush and waste storage pond--are applicable to dairy herds with more than 100 cows.
