Summary

Aim of Measure:

Barnyard or feedlot runoff controls collect, treat, and reduce runoff from barnyards. The controls make up a system of components like erosion-resistant channels, subsurface drains with rock filled trenches along building foundations below eaves, underground outlets, roof gutters, surface water diversions, and downspouts. Managing runoff from barnyard areas can help to avoid excessive runoff of manure and sediment from loafing lots and manure piles in and around the animal confinement area.
