Estimated Gallons of Effluent in a Square Lagoon
if you know the surface acres or the square feet of surface area then you can use this chart to determine the estimated number of gallons in your lagoon. Figures are calculated using 3:1 slope on lagoon banks and a flat bottom. If you have an uneven bottom or slopes that differ then you will need to call your sales person or look at your as-built lagoon drawings for estimated gallons in your lagoon.

Weight of Various Materials
Use this chart to determine the "weight of a cubic yard" or the "tons in a cubic yard" of various materials. This includes; mud (sludge), earth, sand, clay; all of what you might find in a lagoon. Our certified lab reports the percent of dry material in the slurry sample; this information can be used to extrapolated how many tons or cubic yard of dried manure or sludge was actually removed.
