How this works in Alberta
A lagoon holds liquid manure until you can spread it. Liner quality, site soils, and distance to groundwater decide whether it is safe, and the regulator will ask about all three.
Confined feeding operations in Alberta are regulated by the Natural Resources Conservation Board under AOPA. Storage, liner, and separation requirements are defined in the standards, and approvals are site specific. Start with the NRCB before you hire a designer.
Geotechnical work comes first. Soil permeability and groundwater depth drive whether a compacted clay liner works or a synthetic liner is needed.
Leak detection, freeboard, and safety fencing are part of the design. So is a spreading plan, since a lagoon that cannot be emptied on schedule is a problem.

Who approves a manure lagoon in Alberta?
For confined feeding operations, the Natural Resources Conservation Board. Confirm your category early.
What kind of liner is required?
It depends on soils and standards. A qualified engineer specifies clay or synthetic liners for your site.
