Lagoons Sample Clauses

Lagoons. Here is a comparison of the lagoon capacities for California dairies and for GWMA dairies: # milk cows Acres of Lagoons Cows/lagoon acre County U of C Table 30 U of C Table 29 Fresno 132,588 325 408.0 Kings 177,696 547 324.9 Tulare 545,689 1,740 313.6 Xxxx 164,127 514 319.3 Total TLB 1,020,100 3,126 326.3 Yakima NASS 99,532 210 474.0 Yakima DNMP 103,089 210 490.9 Based on surface area we have less lagoon space per cow and this impacts a comparison between the two areas. It is possible that GWMA lagoons are deeper than California lagoons. On page 22 the study states: The average capacity used for each lagoon was then itself averaged across all lagoons, resulting in an average percent capacity used for 2015 visited of 43%. The depth used in the Darcy’s Law calculations is 43% of the actual or estimated design depth. This is mathematically incorrect. The only time that volume (capacity) is proportional to depth is when the sides of a container are vertical. This is not the case for lagoons. If the 43% depth is used to calculate volume for the average square lagoon with a 1:3 slope as described in Appendix C the result is a lagoon about 37% full.
