f k D = (QxT) /A F, When the flow rate, the set time and theross application g pp depth are known, then the area,that can be irrigated (A) can be calculated by: A= (QxT) ID When the gross application depth, the set time, and the area irrigated are known, then the flow t rate (Q) needed can be calculated from: F Q=(D x A) /T When the gross application depth, the flow rate, and the area to be irrigated are known, then the set time (T) can be calculated from:. T= (DxA) / Q 4 , Application of agricultural liquid effluent mixed with pumped irrigation water must be applied with caution. The soil types of the area all.have a slow permeability rate offering susceptibility to runoff.' Irrigation applications need to be carefully managed to control field runoff. The frequency of application needs careful attention to minimize plant wilting. The irrigation process is one of 24 hours a day, so an evaluation of the nutrient water needs to be Fperformed periodically .as the lagoon levels drop to be sure that the nutrient content does not , change substantially during the processes. Adjust nutrient applications in relationship to the maturity of the crops. F.' SOLID MANURE MANAGEMENT Manure will be handled and stored properly to prevent water pollution from the dairy. The facility is designed to prevent manure from contacting surface water or groundwater or moving off the property (see the Site Plan and the Irrigation Plan, attached). T ' The manure In the corral areas well be scraped in the Spring and Fall. Removed manure well be Fstored or composted at locations meeting minimum clay content requirements ("Manure Storage ", Area" on the "Site Map", attached) and.draining to the ponds. The manure_ in the settling ponds will be removed from the ponds as they rotate into and out of service. The manure will be stacked to dry on.appropriate surfaced drying pads (containing at least 10% clay) located between and F draining to the settling ponds. There are three options on how to dispose of the manure: utilize it agronomically on the crop fields, sell it, or compost it and sell it. Random manure samples from the corrals will be analyzed separately because its content is different from dried manure from the settling ponds.
