  1. Environmental Success Factors in Pig Farm Waste Management Anna Brooks, MPH Student Walden University PUBH 6165-1 Instructor: Dr. Rebecca Heick Spring Quarter, 2010

  2. Service Project Background • Orphanage: Casa del Aquila • Cusco High altitude Temperate climate • Environmental focus Protect water supply Minimize methane release (Cusco, Peru, 2010)

  3. Hog Farm Waste Disposal Traditional Method of Disposal Large Lagoons • natural, unassisted degradation • system of staged pools • eventual recycling as fertilizer sludge (Conti,, 2009)

  4. Problems with lagoon methods • Release of methane gas into atmosphere • Site for pathogens to reproduce • Leaching nitrates and phosphorous into water supply • Stench • (Animal Waste Methane Energy Recovery, 2009) (NORTH CAROLINA HOG Farm Agrees to Comply With Emergency Administrative Order Issued by the EPA , 2000) (Kase, Julie A.; Correa, Maria T.; Sobsey, Mark D.; , 2009), (MRSA found in pigs in the USA. Irish Veterinary Journal, 62(4), 231, 2009)

  5. Emerging alternatives Biogas Capture Method Engineered, covered lagoons (Ferrer, I., Gamiz, M., Almeida, M., & Ruiz, A., 2009) (Animal Waste Methane Energy Recovery, 2009)

  6. Emerging Alternatives (cont.) Complete Mix Digesters Heated, covered lagoons (Animal Waste Methane Energy Recovery, 2009)

  7. Emerging alternatives (cont.) Constructed wetland Filtering system of dense plant roots and gravel (Chen, S., Kao, C., Jou, C., Fu, Y., & Chang, Y., 2008)

  8. Summary of Alternatives • Covered lagoon (CL) • Heat/mix covered lagoon (HMCL) • Constructed wetland (CW)

  9. Solution Rankings Best to Worst Options • Cost to install • Waste recovery effectiveness • Potential negative impact to water sources • Reduction of pathogen risk • CW, CL, HMCL • HMCL, CL, CW • HMCL, CL, CW • HMCL, CL, CW

  10. Recommendations Bypass traditional lagoon methods and install the best alternative system funds will allow. Shown in order of effectiveness and risk minimization: 1) Heat/mix covered lagoon 2) Covered lagoon 3) Constructed wetland
