Pens and Compost Areas Sample Clauses

Pens and Compost Areas. Under “Pens” the study cites research by Xxxxxx from 1974. This was a limited study conducted on beef feedlots in Nebraska during a time when the Clean Water Act was first being developed. It has been replaced by more current, more accurate and more relevant research. It should not be part of this review. I disagree with the numbers stated on page 12. The study says: As of 2014 DNMP dairy registration, dairies in Yakima County had just over 100,000 milking and dry cows (the vast majority of which were within the GWMA boundary), making for a stocking rate of around 50 cattle/acre, based on the NRAS estimate of pen acreage, similar to that of dairies in the UC Xxxxx study. Assuming that 89% of the milk cows in Yakima County are within the GWMA target area (there are about 5,000 milk cows on the Yakama Reservation and about 6,000 in the Moxee Valley) then the stocking rate in the GWMA area is 55 to 57 cows per pen-acre. (See Attachments I & J). This puts the stocking rate for the GWMA area at a higher concentration than the Tulare Lake Basin as a whole and most closely aligned with Tulare County. On page 14 the study states, NRAS did not have the amount of facility-specific on-site information that would be needed to generate rates for dairy and nondairy CAFOs. If WSDA does not have this information who does? Most of us believe that it is WSDA’s job to understand agriculture and to know what is happening on Washington farms. What is wrong with calling the two beef feed lots and asking for their average stocking rates? On page 14 the study states, With no information available in scientific literature about potential loading from compost areas, NRAS did not attempt a calculation for these areas. I have found considerable research from both academic and USDA sources regarding the environmental impacts from compost areas. In addition, WSDA’s own research shows significant leaching from Yakima Valley composting operations. See the table below with data from Attachments K, L & M. This source is too important to be ignored. Compost Yards Nitrate in mg/kg
