APPLICATION AND PERFORMANCE OF CONSTRUCTED WETLANDS FOR RUNOFF FROM SMALL OPEN LOTSPublished by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org Citation: Pp. 132-143 in the Ninth International Animal, Agricultural and Food Processing Wastes Proceedings of the 12-15 October 2003 Symposium (Research Triangle Park, North Carolina USA), Publication Date 12 October 2003. 701P1203.(doi:10.13031/2013.15243)Authors: C. G. Henry, J. P. Harner III, T. D. Strahm, M. A. Reynolds Keywords: constructed wetlands, runoff treatment, open lots Vegetative systems have long been studied and evaluated as alternatives to conventional storage, treatment, and land application systems. This paper discusses the application of vegetative systems, primarily constructed wetlands, as a runoff treatment technology for small livestock operations. The approach used for two small dairies and one beef cattle feedlot is discussed. Cost data for these operations is included as well as nutrient reduction performance results from a three year sampling period for the KS Dairy. (Download PDF) (Export to EndNotes)
