Composting closer

TERRACE — A local farmer’s
plan to recycle and sell com-
posted chicken manure is ad-
vancing another step this week
as construction gets underway
al Samson’s Poultry Farm.
Work is to begin this week on
a composting building on the
farm, as part of a plan to even-
tually clean up a large manure
field on the property, environ-
ment ministry. officials said.
Farm owner Stan Kinkead
has been prosecuted for viola-
tions of the Waste Management
Act, invesligated by health
department officials, and

criticized by neighbours over
the farm’s methods of disposing

of chicken manure,
But Kinkead predicts his

composting strategy will con-
vert the manure — source of
most of his woes in recent years
— into a reliable source of
revenue, A composting project
last year turned out high-grade
soil that Kinkead says he will
bag and market as potting soil.

Waste management officer
Hoa Le said the environment
ministry approved Kinkead’s

plan a month ago, subject to.

careful regulation and monitor-
ing.

“We'll be monitoring the
farm — especially during peak
tunolf periods,’’ Le said. That
will be done to ensure overflow
water from a new concrete-lined
manure pit drains into the ex-
isting manure lagoon, he said,

and not any nearby water-
courses,

Delays this summer kept the
new pit from being built this

year, Le said, and he said it will

likely be at least a year before

the composting plan is in full.

Operation,

“We accepted the design

presented to us by the ministry
of agriculture,’’ Le said,
* He said the existing manure
field — which: sparked many of
the complaints and investiga-
tions, and landed Kinkead in
court twice — will be slowly
phased out, as the composting
plant turns it into potting soil.

Le said Far-ko Contracting is
the company that will be doing
the work.
