Estimated Seepage Losses from Established Swine Waste Lagoons in the Lower Coastal Plain of North Carolina

R. L. Huffman, P. W. Westerman

Abstract

Eleven well-established, swine waste lagoon systems in the lower coastal plain of North Carolina were examined for evidence of seepage losses to the surficial aquifer. The sites were selected to represent three major soil systems in the areas of North Carolina with the highest swine populations. Elevated ammonium concentration was the strongest indicator of seepage.
