The article discusses the technical report on the quality of surface runoff and the environmental impacts of winter manure application in Coshocton, Ohio. It notes that the Ohio Natural Resources Conservation service has recommended the evaluation of environmental impacts in watersheds with turkey litter, liquid swine manure, and nitrogen fertilizers. It indicates that nutrient concentrations are high, especially in runoff surfaces with low flow volumes and minimal transport. It implies that winter application of manure can contribute to detrimental environmental impacts.
