Evaluation Of Wastewater Treatments To Reduce Nutrient Transport From Land Application Of Dairy Manure
The USGS is collaborating with Bowling Green State University; The Ohio State University Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC), Northwest Agricultural Research Station; and the Village of Ottawa, Ohio to develop, optimize, field test, and document environmental benefits of a low cost dewatering treatment process for transforming dairy CAFO manure into a form that will greatly reduce nutrient runoff from land application and substantially lower the cost of transportation of the treated manure. BGSU will perform laboratory studies to identify the best methods for treating dairy manure. The USGS will coordinate pilot field testing of different manure treatments at OARDC by installing and maintaining equipment to measure nutrient concentrations and flow.
Below are partners associated with this project.
