King County Livestock Ordinance
The 1994 Livestock Management Ordinance guides various aspects of livestock keeping in King County, including animal densities, the placement of confinement areas and the protection of water quality and water resources.
Soil Sampling and Testing
Soil nutrient testing can help guide the application of compost and fertilizer, allowing you to optimize plant uptake and minimize water pollution.
Compost Spreader
A ground-driven compost spreader is available for loan to landowners within the boundary of the King Conservation District. Landowners must have a current soil test to guide the application of compost to pastures and other fields. |
Dairy Nutrient Management Planning
The King Conservation District provides nutrient management planning assistance to the licensed dairies in King County, helping them comply with the requirements of the 1998 Dairy Nutrient Management Act and Concentrated Animal Feed Operation regulations.
Animal Feed Operations & Concentrated Animal Feed Operations
The U.S. EPA regulations that define a Concentrated Animal Feed Operation (CAFO) can trigger the need for water quality management permits. King Conservation District technicians can help you address risk factors that may lead to a CAFO designation.
Manure Share
Through Manure Share, landowners who have more manure or compost than they can use on their own property can connect with other landowners seeking a source of nutrients and organic matter for their gardens, pastures and crops.
