Abstract
Lagoons treat livestock manure and store the treated products until final use, generally application to soil for recycling into crop production. Storage lagoons can be designed to fit local weather conditions and meet state and national (EPA) environmental regulations. This publication discusses both aerobic and anaerobic lagoons, lagoon systems, inlets and outlets, shape, location, and planning. Includes pointers in lagoon design, construction and management, sludge management, lagoon agitation, and runoff storage. Also includes a design example, diagrams, and tables for determining lagoon water volume, as well as manure production volume for dairy and beef cattle, hogs, broilers, and laying hens. 8 pages.
