KEWAUNEE COUNTY MANURE SPILL RESPONSE
GUIDE
 Kewaunee
County has adopted a Manure Spill Response Guide to provide county
agriculture producers with practical information on how to respond
to a manure spill. The guide outlines different types of emergencies
and provides step-by-step information to implement an Emergency
Response Plan on a farm.
The plan addresses eliminating
the source of the spill, containing the spill, reporting the spill,
cleaning up the spill and documenting and filing necessary reports.
Farmers need to be prepared to react to emergency situations.
No matter how a manure spill happens, immediate action is required
to prevent more serious problems and this Manure Spill Response
Guide provides practical information to address an emergency situation
while minimizing impact to the environment.
This guide was developed
with leadership from Kewaunee County UW-Extension, Kewaunee County
Land and Water Conservation Department and Kewaunee County Emergency
Management, along with input from Department of Natural Resources
personnel and Kewaunee County dairy producers.
