"Animal agriculture is becoming more intense: Farms are larger, animals are more concentrated, and farms are operating on a smaller profit margin. Manure storage facilities will become more common for economic, environmental, and management reasons. Manure storage is mandatory in many areas. The safe, practical, and environmentally appropriate design of earthen structures will be an increasingly demanded service. Professional engineers will need to be able to meet this demand with the skills and knowledge necessary to develop the best product for their customers. This publication was written to help meet those needs. It provides technical information on earthen manure storage facilities. It does not contain standards for these systems, nor does it contain rules or regulations pertaining to the systems. The publication will be useful to those involved in the planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and regulation of earthen manure storage facilities.". Trade Paperback.
