KLA Environmental Services, Inc., is a
licensed civil, agricultural and environmental engineering firm, offering
high-quality technical services, including:
Livestock
Waste Management Systems
Complete planning and design services for livestock confinement
facilities and waste controls. Operation and maintenance plans are developed
which include application rates and agronomic and environmental recommendations.
We also design application equipment systems, including pumps, pipelines,
sprinklers and other components.
Feedyard
Expansion Projects
We offer a complete turn-key design program for expansion projects of all
sizes, from adding a few pens to major expansion projects.
Environmental
Assessments
We provide a detailed environmental assessment for feedyards, auction
markets and other confined animal feeding operations. This assessment is
especially important before purchasing a facility.
Lagoon
Permeability testing
The most accurate way to measure permeability in existing lagoons is
the use of equipment that measures the difference between evaporation and the
change in water depth using automated lysimeters and water-level recorders while
floating on the lagoon. KDHE prefers this method of testing, as it is by far the
most accurate. We have the equipment available to conduct these tests.
