Abstract
  • This paper examines the environmental factors influencing the die-off and transport of fecal coliform bacteria present in wastes applied to the land surface. These factors are examined specifically for dairy waste management systems and the net effect each system has on runoff water quality. A model is developed that considers the effects of precipitation, season, method of wastes storage and application, die-off of the bacteria in storage, die-off of the bacteria on the land surface, infiltration of bacteria into the soil profile, soil characteristics, overland transport of bacteria (runoff), and buffer zones. The model is then applied to the Tillamook basin in northwestern Oregon to evaluate which waste management procedures significantly decrease bacterial pollution potential in agricultural runoff.
