Management, containment and reuse options for water runoff in red meat processing facilities

Focus area: Water
Program stream: Sustainability
Project number: 2017-1035
The effective management of stormwater and runoff from commercial and industrial sites requires careful planning and design.

Poorly managed stormwater can cause problems on and off site through erosion, flooding and the transportation of nutrients, sediments and chemical pollutants to waterways.

This project is a review of how Australian meat processing companies are managing stormwater runoff; what technologies are available to the industry that are not commonly used and what is currently considered best practice management to minimize environmental impacts.
