[USCC] Fwd: pond problem

[Rufus Chaney]

Dear All:

I agree with the suggestion that aeration is the likely solution to the issue you asked about. Manure lagoons are the extreme case of a composting site runoff lagoon, and are well known to cause odor problems if unmanaged. Besides the source noted by Don Frankl, I think you may want to look at the information on the www.CIRCUL8.com website. They make simple aerators that have proven effective with pond odor control. There are probably other manufacturers of pond aeration equipment, so you should look for systems that do what you need with a minimum of energy input and service requirements.

Regards,

Properly aerating ponds that are overloaded with organic matter will stop the fugitive odor and the water when used will not have the septic smell.

 Don Frankl of Sioux City,IA ....International Industries, Inc may be able to help.
His company builds floating electrically powered aeration devices for large manure lagoons.  My brother has been using his services for more than 10 years on lagoons at his swine facility , reasonable pricing and they do perform!
An old phone # is 712-255-0882
Please call me if you have further questions or if you have trouble reaching Mr. Frankl.
Good luck
