Appendix:
Manure or Material Storage Types
Type: V1
Description: Solid, inside,
bedded pack (manure accumulates under livestock over time)
Type:
V2
Description: Solid, outside, covered (cover keeps off precipitation to
prevent runoff)
Type: V3
Description: Solid, outside, no cover, greater than or equal
30% dry matter (manure is dry enough that a flowpath option can be used for runoff
control (Nutrient Management Act, 2002)
Type:
V4
Description: Solid, outside, no cover, 18% to less than 30% dry matter,
with covered liquid runoff storage (manure not dry enough to soak up precipitation,
so a liquid runoff storage needed, but it has a permanent, tight cover)
Type:
V5
Description: Liquid, inside, underneath slatted floor (manure is stored
under the animals in the barn)
Type:
V6
Description: Liquid, outside, with a permanent, tight fitting cover (negative
pressure tarp, concrete lid, inflatable dome, etc.)
Type:
V7
Description: Liquid, (digestate), outside, no cover (all manure has been
treated through anaerobic digestion, or a similar process that reduces odours)
Type:
L1
Description: Solid, outside, no cover, 18% to less than 30% dry matter,
with uncovered liquid runoff storage (manure not dry enough to soak up precipitation,
so a liquid runoff storage needed, but it is uncovered, producing more odour than
in V4 above)
Type:
L2
Description: Liquid, outside, with a permanent floating cover (tarps, foam
panels, etc.)
Type:
M1
Description: Liquid, outside, no cover, straight-walled storage (usually
circular or rectangular concrete, or steel storages)
Type:
M2
Description: Liquid, outside, roof, but with open sides (roof keeps off
precipitation, but the open sides allow wind to travel over the manure and carry
odours)
Type:
H1
Description: Liquid, outside, no cover, sloped-sided storage (earthen manure
storages, but not earthen runoff storages associated with a solid manure storage
which are L1 above)
