The following are practices that can be used to reduce PM10 emissions: Fibrous Layer in Dusty Areas: add fibrous material to
working areas. Freestall Housing: use freestall housing with cement
floor to allow for manure cleaning with a flushing system. Frequent Scraping and/or Manure Removal: remove
manure from open corrals. Conditions of removal, and frequency of removal
may be specified. Pull-Type Manure Harvesting Equipment: use a
pull-type piece of equipment to leave an even corral surface. Removing Excess Water: eliminate water leaks from
troughs and trough piping, and comply with corral drainage standards. Shaded Areas in Open Corrals: make available shaded
areas in open corrals which increases animal density and reduces animal movement. Sprinkling of Open Corrals: ensure adequate corral
surface moisture levels to prevent visible dust emissions or meet specified
moisture conditions. (In some areas, not recommended for lactating cows.) Time-of-Day Scraping/Harrowing: scrape/harrow in
morning hours when moisture is typically higher. Please note that many of the documents listed are
