Waste Storage and Transfer Project in Clifton Springs

Through the Agricultural Non-Point Source Program's Waste Storage and Transfer System, the farm installed one Waste Storage Facility, one Waste Transfer, 1,100 feet of Access Road, 700 feet of fence, and 1 acre of Riparian Herbaceous Cover. The storage provides the farm with an additional 3 million gallons of storage in a lined, earthen storage located at a satellite location on the farmstead. This additional storage capacity allows the farm to now store 6 months of manure, allowing the farm to more strategically apply manure only when conditions are optimal and avoid spreading during the winter or during periods when the ground is saturated. The installation of the 1 acre riparian herbaceous buffer also allows the farm to further pursue their goals of resource conservation.
