Dear Morwai Dairy Neighbors:
Morwai Dairy has increased the efficiency of our solid separation systems to keep solids
form entering the lagoons and overloading the designed function. All unnecessary water
sources have been stopped or dramatically reduced. All pen alley flushes are now using
recycled water.
We inoculated the primary lagoon on August 10°'with 220 gallons of an enzyme solution
that will aid in the proper digestion of solids and nutrients in the lagoon. Three to four
gallons of the product are added each day into the water stream from the milking parlor.
Magnesium Hydroxide is sprayed on the lagoons each afternoon to reduce the hydrogen
sulfide odors. Three hundred pounds per day is sprayed onto the lagoon surfaces each
afternoon via a rented fire truck.
Morwai Dairy will be conducting update meetings on the second and forth Wednesday of
each month. The next scheduled meetings will be held at the Morwai dairy office at 8:00
a.m., on the 13th and the 27th of September. We encourage our neighbors to come and ask
questions, voice concerns, and hear our progress reports.
We will continue these operations until the lagoons reach equilibrium. If you have any
questions please call Thomas Haren at (303) 746-0984.
Sincerely,
Thomas Haren

Dear Morwai Dairy Neighbors,
This letter is to update our neighbors regarding the action plan to reduce the odors from Morwai
Dairy. We apologize for the inconvenience and assure you we are using every technically
achievable method to get the current odor situation remedied as soon as possible.
Our plan is to first spray the lagoon surfaces daily with a magnesium hydroxide solution that will
bind the hydrogen sulfide emitted from the lagoons. Magnesium hydroxide is the same product
as milk of magnesia from the drug store. It will bind with the hydrogen sulfide that causes a
"rotten egg"smell. This product will be applied daily, in the afternoon and in the evening. We
are planning to begin using the product as soon as it is delivered. We expect to begin by this
weekend.
Second, we are adding an enzymatic lagoon additive that will enhance the proper digestion of the
dairy manure in the lagoon. Proper digestion of the manure as planned will emit significantly less
and different odors than the odors emitted by the decomposition process presently occurring. We
will add the enzymes this week and daily thereafter.
Third, AgPro Environmental Services, LLC will be monitoring the progress of our plan daily for
the first few weeks and weekly thereafter. We would like to remain in contact with our neighbors
regarding any further problems or also, any improvements. Please call Tom Haran with AgPro
Environmental Services, LLC at(303) 746-0984, or our manager Robert Strack at(970) 539-
9180, if you have any comments or would like more information.
Improvements may not occur immediately, but we hope to gain control of the current situation as
soon as possible. We assure you we are concerned and working diligently on the odor problems
and apologize for the inconveniences.
Sincerely,
Bill Wailes John Moser Buddy Nichols
