Baseline Environmental Data Collection for Research and Production Facility

WShannon
Management
October 20, 2020

Intensive livestock operations have potential environmental impacts which limit the establishment of these operations. To understand the impact that is produced, the changes in environmental conditions before and after the facility is operating must be made. Air, soil and water were sampled around the facility location. This baseline data will be beneficial in comparing the impact of a production facility from an environmental standpoint.
