    This document summarizes a dairy waste management demonstration project at Broumley Dairy in Hico, Texas. The project involves a combination digester and phosphorus removal system, with the goal of removing 80% of the phosphorus from the dairy's waste stream. It is a cooperative effort among numerous agencies involving $1.6 million in grants and contributions. The dairy is serving as a living laboratory to study phosphorus removal. Key aspects of the project include construction of the treatment system, development of a comprehensive nutrient management plan, and ongoing water quality and whole-farm monitoring. Initial results indicate the system is achieving around 80% reduction in phosphorus loading.
