7. & 8. Today's inspection was to check construction progress of the new concrete waste structure. Rebecca Chandler with DWR,
Robert Moore with NRCS (Yadkinville), and Allen and Steve Joines were present.
Structure itself is completed, signed -off by engineer and a Certification of Installation form sent to DWR. Agitator and pump out
equipment has been ordered and will be delivered in a couple months. Certification of Installation for waste application eqipment
to be submitted to DWR at that time.
Contractors are in the process of backfilling soil around structure, the upper portion in particular, to help stabilize barn foundations
and existing push -off ramps. Soil is to come within 6 inches of the top of the waste structure (nearest bams) to serve as a future
fresh water diversion for rain from bam roof. Note that the new concrete waste pond is designed to be a stand-alone structure Soil
is also being graded to construct a temporary access area for trucks to add accumulated solid animal waste into the concrete
structure until a permanent push -off ramp(s) is constructed. NRCS is working on the ramp design now. Soil for a permanent
pump -out location is also being graded in preparation for the new equipment. No evidence of water quality impacts from this area.
Parlor waste is temporarily being held in a containment basin in what was once a corner of the old earthen structure. Parlor water
from the milking area and solid waste from a floor drain in the holding area are flowing into the basin. No evidence of overflow or
discharge observed from the basin. The parlor pipe is to eventually be sent through a constructed hole in the wall of the concrete
structure. Once construction is completed a permanent waste level marker will need to be installed.
9. The area just outside the rear of the calf bam is better. However, when it rains, manure is likely running off into a ditch which
flows to the stream. Discussed with Allen Joines the need to construct a wooden or permanent wall to keep the solid waste
inside the bam.
