      NOTE from Page 32:  The EPA study concluded that 700 dairy cows (HDF plans to start with 699 pregnant cows) produce a daily waste load that is equivalent to the daily waste load of a city of 115,000 people, more than the total resident population of Kauai all leaving their waste on 517 acres of Maha’ulepu Valley daily, untreated..on clay soil with a natural down slope in the topography between the farm and the ocean less than a mile away. HDF Plans call for expanding to 2,000 cows . According to the EPA, that many dairy cows would create a waste load equivalent to the daily waste load from a city of 328,000 people!
