I did code enforcement for 15 years here.Fellow came to me complaining about his water stinking.It was bad smelled of cow crap.Gave him a water test kit and went looking for the source .Found a pile of cow manure about 400 feet away a bit up hill across the road.You could see run off building up behind the road,the area was full of gravel and had a lot of springs on it.The manure was piled on ledge a real bad thing to do because water tends to follow ledge.I went to the farm and explained the problem and they would have to move the pile.They were slow moving the pile and did poor job.There were medicine bottles, syringes with needle on them milker inflations and broken glass.I went back to the farm and told them to clean up everthing.2 weeks later nothing had been done.I called the State dept of Agricuture.Fellow came out and told them to clean up or lose milk license.This farm was shut down because of stream pollution.A women came out to see me ,she worked for the sludge co.They wanted to spread sludge on 2 large fields.I showed her the problem spot where the manure had polluted a well.She agreeded that no sludge should spread there.Toms well finally tested good but he had a new well drilled.My Uncles well got polluted by chicken manure that was piled 200 feet away.That was in the late 40s.Water tends to travel long distances in seams of sand and thru ledge.I have some papers on the danger of sewerage sludge. No one knows what is dumped into city sewers.Solvents and oils are dumped to avoid big fees.I would not use the crap on my land.Your choice.
