Odor Entrapment: By covering the lagoons they will function as true anaerobic cells as a result of entrapment of heat generated by bacterial action. Anaerobic cells will maintain approximately 80° F. operating temperature year round. Zero odors to atmosphere. There is a dual purpose to To Residents RE: Associated Press Article: Hog raising complexes The citizens of Milford and Beaver County had better prepare themselves for outbreaks of Cholera, Diphtheria, Typhoid Fever, Hepatitis — A and E:coli illnesses and diseases. Why? The leaching of hog manure this approach. A lagoon or lagoons of these types generate ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, carbon based odors into the water table, then the aquifer and great amounts of methane gas. The primary odors, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and the carbon based that supplies your drinking water. Plants being started in the Ebb & Flow Proprogation House Vegetable growing operations utilize liquid manure of one type or another; hog, beef cattle, dairy cattle, or poultry. Liquids, after being separated from solids, are sterilized by means of odors are scrubbed from the odorous gaseous ozone. The gaseous ozone will kill all known pathogens and bacteria. This sterilized liquid is then utilized as nutrient for growing fruits and vegetables. The solids portion, depending upon the amount of undigested feed will either be further gas stream by means of scrubbers that provide a non-offensive gas, carbon dioxide, as the end result. The processed, after sterilization, into feed OR if the solids do not contain adequate undigested feed, methane constituent of the gas, which they advance to a composting operation. Either way...all solids are sterilized. is non-soluble in water, is cycled into engine-generators that generate electric © power. 2. The manure, liquids and Bacteria and pathogens are not selective, a polluted water supply, in this case, Milford solids are pumped from the lagoons, Mississippi, liquids separated from solids and then Kentucky, is a total impact on complexes there is a further processed. The liquids, after sterilization, are utilized as nutrients for growing many types of vegetables within controlled — environment greenhouses. Solids are then sterilized and utilized as feed for gestation sows if undigested feed content warrants. Recovered solids blended in with normal gestation ration. North Otherwise, Tomato vines average 8' to 9' tall. Each plant produces about 38 pounds of fruit in a 6 month period.......that’s two crops per year! Various other vine crops include green peppers, cucumbers, pole beans, and snow peas. In addition, we raise low crops such as lettuce, baby carrots, radishes, spinach, strawberries, sweet corn and many different types of herbs. %. but the end results will ancestor to a descendant. in control of their children’s legacy. 1098 Clara Court Phone: 319-588-1065 home state of or no liners at all, allow the liquid manure to leach down through the sand into the upper water table, then into the aquifer. Utah is the only State that allows such a disregard for citizens, specifically _ the polluted. Beaver and Iron County residents are Residents: If you are concerned about a “legacy” of health issues related to water or air quality, declining property values, or depletion of quality of life in your community, contact your elected officials. Carolina, uncontrolled building of — hog confinement complexes, Will the State of Utah sit idly by after outbreaks of the above mentioned diseases and _ illnesses occur. Probably not, but by that time, the irreparable damage will be done and no type of legislation will stop the tragedy that will be facing the people of Milford and Beaver ‘County, Utah. Time is short, in all likelihood, some of your wells are already Webster defines “legacy” as 1. _ A bequest. 2. Anything handed down an Carolina, leaching of manure laden pathogens and bacteria cannot be stopped. This is true, especially when questionable designs of lagoons for manure storage is addressed. The main fact is that cheap lagoon liners, its allow for expansion without concerns for odors and manure solids buildup. As a result of our many years of experience in the agricultural industry, we have developed sources of funding for these types of projects. We will enter into Joint Ventures with hog production facilities to secure funding for all aspects of the above solutions. — We will utilize the proven technologies of Cultured Growers and Processors for the hydroponic vegetable growing operations. - from North plus lowa. Why? There disregard for the health people where the hog are located. Presently moratorium in effect in Prestage Farms. Odors can be controlled, but controlled environment greenhouses. The recovered carbon dioxide is initial cost, Beaver Murphy Farms, Carroll’s Foods and treated solids are used in the greenhouse operation. The electricity generated by the methane fired engine-generators provides practically all of the electric power required to operate the utilized to accelerate plant growth within the greenhouses. These solutions are not without and County, will be caused by hog manure from large hog confinement growing units. The principals of Circle Four Farms, Prestige, Murphy Farms, Carroll’s Foods and Smithfield have been stopped in states like /s/ J. Smada, Ph.D Our greenhouse operations are fully computerized and provide jobs Jor all levels of wo We grow vegetables that are chemical free, with no herbicides or pesticides. Our system solves odor and pollution problems, creates jobs, produces crops that are in great demand, is cost efficient and has acceptable pay-back in terms af months, not years.
