Back to my waste management days... USDA-NRCS technical standards specify swine waste lagoons be designed with a volume to hold a 25yr-24hr storm (https://t.co/pRu6AZM2UR). If I'm reading this figure correctly, what happened in Eastern NC over 72 hrs was a 1000 year event.
Initial reports indicate N.C. hog lagoons have not exceeded their capacity and those farms as a whole have not experienced substantial impacts. Thanks for the update @ncpork! #NCFarmBureau#Florence
Lagoons have improved since #Floyd. NO lagoons were breached during the most recent hurricane #Matthew. Farmers are working round the clock to lower the level of the lagoons to make room for rain. #NCFarmBureau
When the #OTHfam group chat is lookinโ out for our friends in #NorthCarolina. Hurricane #Florence is a SERIOUS threat. Please, if you live in the area, honor the evacuation orders. #WrightsvilleBeach#Wilmington Love to brother bear Lee for sending this to our framily. ๐
