Title:
LPES Lesson 22: Open Lot Runoff Management Options
Authors:
Pat Murphy and Joe Harner
Summary:
As the demand grows for cleaner water, large and small open lot confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) will need to reduce and control the nutrient and sediment loading of the runoff leaving the feedlot. Existing CAFOs will need to evaluate their runoff potential. Older feedlots may have to be modified to comply with new environmental regulations. The costs of controlling the existing runoff must be weighed against new lot construction on an alternative location. New feedlot facilities will need to address current regulations and be designed for compliance with future regulations.
