[QUOTE="Auggie, post: 178755, member: 237"] When applied at agronomic rates manure (regardless of type) is an excellent fertilizer. A plants job is to take inorganic stuff (nitrates, phosphates, etc...) and turn it organic. i.e. food. Their manure will probably be injected 6-8 inches (think of a chisel plow). The manure is predominately some sort of organic compound. Because of that it doesn't move well with the soil. Conventional fertilizer moves way more easily in the soil. If the animal feeding operation is constructed, it will have to follow strict engineering guidelines to prevent water contamination. The manure holding pit will either have a thick plastic liner or be made of a well tested earthen out (usually a specific amount of clay). With proper management, there will be little chance of this causing an environmental issue. I'm sure the NDDoH will visit regularity to make sure the nutrient management plan is followed properly and to check that dikes or levees are in good working condition [/QUOTE]
