2.7.1 Intensive Animal Production

2.7.1.1 Example 1

Location of Example: 148o13'51" East, 34o09'06" South
Distinctive Characteristics:
  • The regularity of the piggery buildings that appear as rectangular elevated features evident by shadow signature.
  • The effluent settling ponds in proximity to the buildings.
Regional Considerations:

2.7.1.2 Example 2

Location of Example: 146o46'15" East, 34o46'01" South
Distinctive Characteristics:
  • The regularity of the piggery buildings that appear as rectangular elevated features evident by shadow signature.
  • The effluent settling ponds in proximity to the buildings.

2.7.1.3 Example 3

Location of Example: 150o45'56" East, 31o03'07" South
Distinctive Characteristics:
  • The regularity of the more elongated buildings that appear as rectangular elevated features evident by shadow signature.
  • The absence of settling ponds that are evident with other Intensive Animal Production (IAP) facilities such as piggeries and cattle farms.
Regional Considerations:

2.7.1.4 Example 4

Location of Example: 150o19'54" East, 31o08'58" South
Distinctive Characteristics:
  • The regularity of the more elongated buildings that appear as rectangular elevated features evident by shadow signature.
  • The absence of settling ponds that are evident with other Intensive Animal Production (IAP) facilities such as piggeries and cattle farms.
Regional Considerations:

2.7.1.5 Example 5

Location of Example: 149o20'42" East, 28o31'07" South
Distinctive Characteristics:
  • The shade shelters that are evenly spaced throughout the feedlots. These are not permanent structures and should not be captured.
  • The effluent settling ponds in proximity to the Intensive Animal Production (IAP) facility.
Regional Considerations:

Location of Example: 149o20'42" East, 28o31'07" South
Distinctive Characteristics:
  • The shade shelters that are evenly spaced throughout the feedlots. These are not permanent structures and should not be captured.
  • The effluent settling ponds in proximity to the Intensive Animal Production (IAP) facility.
