5.1 Examples and Case Studies

The farm used in the case studies is located in Baltimore, Haldimand Township, Northumberland County, Ontario. It houses a small beef feedlot, which is partially covered. Figure 5.1 shows an aerial photograph of the farm.

Two alternative designs will be considered: Design #1-integrated, curb-wall, storage on the feedlot; and Design #2-external, dedicated storage basin with pumped flow of runoff to infiltration area.
The numbering of design steps is from the Design Guide found in Section 4.

5.1.1 Design #1 - Design of VFS System (Integrated Storage)
5.1.2 Design #2 - Design of VFS System (External Storage)
