Can composting the manure solve the CAFO's waste problem?

http://michigan.sierraclub.org/issues/greatlakes/articles/cafofaqs.html

In short, no. And, as you read the bulleted list below, remember that a Michigan CAFO can have a compost pile within 200 feet of its neighbor.

In addition to manure and other materials, CAFO compost piles may have up to 20,000 pounds of dead animals in one pile (and if just one animal had mad cow disease and this pile is spread on the land, the prions could enter the food or milk supply). For more information on prions, see the Center for Disease Control Prion Diseases webpage.

• CAFO compost piles draw vermin, rats, flies, coyotes, and vultures.
• Most CAFO compost sites do not have runoff containment structures, and the nutrient-rich liquids can cause algae blooms if they reach surface waters.
• The odors emitted can become very strong if the composting is not done correctly.

There is a composting site along "Cowtown". Some believe that composting the manure solves the situation of "too much manure". According to this information it does nothing to help, but to make wallets more fatter meanwhile public health is put at risk. Here there are about, if not more than a half a million cattle. Now think how much manure they can create? Can all of it be used or is some just decomposing? This information is based off of Dairy CAFOs http://www.sraproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/dairytalkingpoints.pdf

Now what happens when "manure" decomposes? Decomposing animal manure gives off a variety of gases including hydrogen sulphide, carbon dioxide and methane. Of all these gases, hydrogen sulphide or more commonly called manure gas, is the most dangerous. Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) has been responsible for many animal deaths as well as occasional human deaths.

Now do we just sit back and do nothing? This city was built around the feedlots and clearly it was known that there was extereme health risk to humans as well as a threat to the environment here. We are here now, some of us were lied to about the farms being sold and the cattle being moved by their home builder. Ours was Hacienda Builders who was yours if you were lied to about the same thing? According to Pinal Co. there was never an agreement for the farms to be sold nor the cattle to be moved. The developer, the builders and Pinal County should have ensured public safety before building and allowing people to move into such horrific conditions. As our rights we should have been notified of such conditions and not lied to. Now the feedlots knew they were kicking in major pollution into the air and possibly the water and because of this Maricopa will be placed in a Nonattainment Area. If they also cared about the public safety why wasn't something done in 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008? Why is there such a panic now? Is it because people are complaining of the air quality? As for the reduced odor, what is happening is that the manure is being sprayed with water and some kind of chemical to keep down the odors. Do you think that solves the issue? Or do you think it could create more leakage into the groud water?
