What Is a Manure Lagoon?

A manure lagoon is a large, engineered pond designed to store and treat animal waste, primarily from livestock farms. These lagoons allow for the natural breakdown of manure through biological processes before it is used as fertilizer or safely disposed of.

How Do Manure Lagoons Work?

Manure lagoons hold liquid waste and allow anaerobic bacteria to break down the organic matter. This process reduces the volume of solids and minimizes odors, making the waste more manageable.

What Are Manure Ponds Used For?

Like lagoons, manure ponds are used to store and treat livestock waste. They play a crucial role in managing agricultural runoff and preventing direct contamination of local waterways.

What Are the Environmental Concerns with Manure Lagoons?

While manure lagoons are effective in waste management, they pose environmental risks if not properly maintained. Issues like lagoon leakage, overflow during heavy rains, and methane emissions can significantly impact soil, water, and air quality.

Where Are Manure Lagoons Commonly Found?

Manure lagoons are commonly found on large livestock farms, particularly in regions with intensive animal agriculture, such as dairy or swine farms. They manage the substantial volume of waste produced by these operations.
