NY — A faulty section of pipe is to blame for a 7,000-gallon manure spill from
Skaneateles’ Twin Birch Dairy into a tributary of Dutch Hollow Brook, according
to Owasco Lake Watershed inspector Jessica Miles.
During a progress report
to the Cayuga County Water Quality Management Agency, Miles said a PVC pipe
leading from the farm’s anaerobic digester to a storage lagoon was not suited
to handle the extremes in temperature and pressure that were exerted of it.
