Agricultural Lands Best Management Practices
Sonoma RCD engineering staff designed a concrete manure stacking pad for a Laguna de Santa Rosa Dairy. Prior to implementation manure was stacked on bare ground adjacent to their manure pond. By constructing a concrete manure pad, manure management is improved. The pond is sloped to direct runoff to the adjacent manure pond.
