Water Quality
At the April 17, 2018 Annual Meeting, the Electors for the Town of Durand passed Resolution 2018-01, Resolution to Promote the Composting of Liquid Manure. The resolution requests that the Pepin County Board of Supervisors encourage, promote, and endorse the composting of liquid manure in an effort to arrest the leaching of nitrates to our groundwater, thereby protecting the health and general welfare of the residents of Pepin County.
If you would like more information as to how you can help the quality of our groundwater by composting liquid manure, this article from SARE (Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education) provides a breakdown of many questions you may have regarding the cost, benefits, and process.
