Construction of the lagoon <br /> was completed on December 31, 1993 . The testing was performed to <br /> ensure compliance with the State of California Regulations for <br />! confined animal facilities . As the attached diagram illustrates, <br /> there are two lagoons adjacent to one another, separated by a <br /> levee. The south lagoon will be used to retain and digest the <br /> a chicken manure, while the north pond will be used for rainwater <br /> overflow storage. <br /> GOON OPERATION <br /> Manure from the layers will be deposited manually from manure carts <br /> into a concrete box and subsequently allowed to disperse throughout <br /> the south lagoon. Water will be used to further liquify the manure <br /> and assist in its dispersal . The lagoon will primarily function <br /> 4 anaerobically, although it may also be considered a facultative <br /> lagoon whereby there is a surface aerobic zone and a subsurface <br /> anaerobic zone. This type of lagoon operation is appealing because <br /> of low capital and operating costs, low labor and energy <br /> requirements, and simplicity.
