[Digestion] Environmentalists Anti-AD Issues

[Steven Bolgiano]

Wow. I like this group more and more.
I'll submit one more time on this and then go back to begging the group 
to be spoon fed the science I need to achieve some sanity for my small 
piece of the planet. I am 60 years old, and this is me enjoying local 
water: http://www.planetfound.com/surfing

My friends, neighbors, family and I became tired of watching the 
bureaucracy, the farmer, and the environmentalists bang each other over 
the heads like some old time silent film comedy. No solutions, only 
finger pointing, misinformation, with real information held hostage by 
red tape.
We decided if our grandchildren have any chance of enjoying the 
magnificent waters surrounding our region, we better not wait on the system.
Is it any wonder there are only 158 registered agricultural AD systems 
in the United States? And the 5 that are for poultry are mismatched for 
99.9 % of the poultry farms.

So with all the naivete of a village idiot we have decided as a 
community group we will take responsibility and struggle to learn what 
you folks seem to do so effortlessly. So far we are pursuing groupings 
of 6,250 gallon, solar heated bladders, ... batch loaded 5 times a year. 
We have a design, we have fabricators for the bladder tanks, gas bags 
and what may be a very revolutionary approach to solar heating water, 
... also using pumps run from solar panels.
That's the mechanical. But the science we need to get much better at 
understanding. And part of that is the original intent of this thread, 
which is to prepare for the resistance of those with their own agendas, 
to respond with scientific fact.

Thanks so much for this list. I've learned more in a month here than in 
6 months plowing through journals on my own.
If anyone of you gets to the Mid-Atlantic coast please be my guest 
....we have wild horses on our islands, seafood galore, and wonderful 
waters everywhere. Hopefully it will stay that way.

OK back to the science for me .... I want to know more about temperature 
fluctuations and the affect on free ammonias (and what is  free ammonia!).

Thanks,
Steven
