**[Initial Planning for Liners]{.underline}**

The purpose of this document is to provide documentation of an
**[initial]{.underline}** estimate of synthetic lining requirements for
a waste storage pond. This is a planning estimate and it is not to be
used as a material purchasing document. The primary use of this document
is to ensure the dairy producer/feedlot operator has an indication of
the size of lining that may be required prior to entering into an EQIP
contract.

[Step 1:]{.underline}

Determine if a discharge permit has been issued by New Mexico
Environment Department. If a permit has been issued, please fill-in the
following blanks:

  ------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
  Permit Number                                     

  Expiration Date of Permit                         

  Number of gallons per day permitted to be         
  discharged                                        

  Facility Name                                     
  ------------------------------------------------- ---------------------

[Step 2:]{.underline}

Determine the types and number of animals currently involved.

  ------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
  Heifers                                           

  Milking Cows                                      

  Dry Cows                                          

  Slaughter or Feeder Cattle                        

                                                    

                                                    
  ------------------------------------------------- ---------------------

[Step 3:]{.underline}

Determine type of Waste Storage Facility (pond) anticipated to be
constructed.

  ------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
  Milking Parlor Flow ONLY and storage will be used 
  on adjacent fields                                

  Storm Runoff Pond ONLY and storage will be used   
  on adjacent fields                                

  Combined Parlor Flow AND Storm Runoff and storage 
  will be used on the fields                        

  Milking Parlor Flow ONLY and no storage will be   
  used on adjacent fields ([evaporative             
  pond]{.underline})                                

  Storm Runoff Pond ONLY and no storage will be     
  used on adjacent fields ([evaporative             
  pond]{.underline})                                

  Combined Parlor Flow AND Storm Runoff and no      
  storage will be used on the fields ([evaporative  
  pond]{.underline})                                
  ------------------------------------------------- ---------------------

Step 4:

Determine approximate size (in acres) that will be drained into a storm
water runoff pond.

  ------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
  Penned Area                                       

  Feedlot Area                                      

  Paved Area                                        

                                                    

                                                    

                                                    
  ------------------------------------------------- ---------------------

Step 5:

Using the entries from Steps 1 through 4 and the Pond Sizing Spreadsheet
developed by New Mexico NRCS, determine the approximate area of
synthetic lining that may be required and the preliminary pond volume
requirements.

  ------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
  Type of Pond Assumed                              

  Area of Synthetic Lining estimated                

  First Estimate of Pond Volume                     
  ------------------------------------------------- ---------------------

  ------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
  Type of Pond Assumed                              

  Area of Synthetic Lining estimated                

  First Estimate of Pond Volume                     
  ------------------------------------------------- ---------------------

  ------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
  Type of Pond Assumed                              

  Area of Synthetic Lining estimated                

  First Estimate of Pond Volume                     
  ------------------------------------------------- ---------------------

Step 6:

Discuss the results of Step 5 with the producer.
