Technical Guideline Listing

• Leak Detection Groundwater Monitoring Parameters (Technical Guideline Agdex 096-52)
  Clarifies required groundwater monitoring parameters to ensure that the appropriate parameters are analyzed and the performance of manure storage facilities is assessed accurately.
• Leak Detection Groundwater Sampling (Technical Guideline Agdex 096-53)
  Provides guidance on how to correctly and consistently collect groundwater samples for leak detection monitoring at CFOs, to ensure that the data is accurate and can support sound technical decisions.
• Monitoring Well Construction, Installation and Development (Technical Guideline Agdex 096-51)
  Provides guidance on recommended and preferred protocols to construct, install, and develop groundwater monitoring wells to minimize the impact on groundwater quality during construction.
• Reclamation of Groundwater Monitoring Wells (Technical Guideline Agdex 096-50)
  Explains how to reclaim a groundwater monitoring well to prevent contaminated surface water from reaching groundwater, and to prevent groundwater movement and transfer between aquifers.
• Reclamation of Groundwater Monitoring Wells Worksheet (Supplement to Technical Guideline Agdex 096-50)
  An easy to use format for recording reclamation information. Intended to be used in conjunction with Technical Guideline Agdex 096-50.

• Definitions for Frozen and Snow-covered Land (Technical Guideline Agdex 096-70)
  This brief guideline defines the terms frozen and snow covered land and explains how to test for those conditions.

• Closure of Manure Storage Facilities and Manure Collection Areas (Technical Guideline Agdex 096-90)
  Explains how to permanently close manure storage facilities to ensure that groundwater and surface water are protected from contamination.
• Closure of Manure Storage Facilities and Manure Collection Area Worksheet (Supplement to Technical Guideline Agdex 096-90)
  An easy to use format for recording required information when a manure storage facility or collection area is closed. Intended to be used in conjunction with Technical Guideline Agdex 096-90.
• Temporary Suspension of Manure Storage Facilities (Technical Guideline Agdex 096-91)
  Provides guidance to ensure that the temporary suspension of a manure storage facility protects groundwater and surface water from contamination.
• Non-Engineered Concrete Liners for Manure Collection and Storage Areas (Technical Guideline Agdex 096-93)
  Addresses the design and construction of nonengineered concrete liners for manure collection and storage areas at CFOs.
• Determining Equivalent Protective Layers and Constructed Liners (Technical Guideline Agdex 096-61)
  Explains how to calculate the hydraulic conductivity of naturally occurring protective layers and constructed earthen liners in order to determine if a liner is equivalent to or greater than the requirements set out by AOPA.

• Calculator for Determining Livestock Capacity of Operations as they Existed on January 1, 2002 (Technical Guideline Agdex 096-81)
  Provides a tool for calculating livestock capacity as of January 1, 2002. The calculation is based on specific housing systems for five major livestock species: beef, dairy, swine, poultry, and sheep.
