I'm getting really confused about this new wetland system they are doing at Bridge Farm. What is it fot?
If it is for the slurry etc from the cows, I thought that was composted and put back on the land - wasn't that Pat's point about not getting involved with the AD project?
If it is for the dairy waste - whey, grey water etc - do they really think it it worth spending 20K?
If it is literally a sewage system, for the house........ eeeewwwww.
I thought it must be for the dairy as Helen was so self important about her cheese making contacts, but it is being referred to on DTA as a sewage system.
Even if you are composting, you stil have liquid effluent to dispose of. This was what I think was going into the Am or Heydon Brook instead of down the broken drain. I think the scheme is to treat these and other liquid wastes (eg whey) and produce clean water runoff
Thank you Mabel. I understand now.
I wish they wouldn't keep mentioning lagoon.......it makes me think of Desert Island Discs.

Given that the dairy operates on a scale one step up from a farm kitchen operation I simply don`t accept that they have an effluent problem that in anyway justifies this project.
They would be only too glad to return some organic nitrogen to the land from the dairy.
