The work team completed its assignment to develop a new NRCS standard to deal with leachate, seepage and runoff stemming from livestock feed storage areas.  In the Fall of 2007, the team submitted a final draft of the standard to the custodian, NRCS, which is working to incorporate the draft standard into the existing 629 Waste Treatment standard. It's expected that a revised Waste Treatment standard also will incorporate elements of the draft Milking Center Wastewater Treatment standard, which a separate SOC work team completed in 2006.

In addition, the Feed Storage Leachate team drafted an outline for a companion document on leachate and runoff control practices. SOC intends to begin work on this companion document in 2008.
