<< Leland,

in your words, "The application of any manure to the water streams from 
surface runoff is independent of amount applied, as even dilute amounts accumulate 
over time saturate the soil, and then damage the rhizosphere, and are washed 
off during storms and contaminate the waterways.

Properly applied organic solid and liquid wastes do not "accumulate over 
time, saturate the soil and wash off during storms"  Quite the reverse, their 
addition creates increasingly active microbial activity which consumes the manure 
products and promotes plant growth.  With more organic biomass production in 
the soil, it can retain more water for use by plants and PREVENTS water from 
washing off the surface of the soil.  Your assertion might hold true in a 
non-growth arroyo or wash area but you should not be applying organic wastes within 
several hundred feet of these areas anyway.

If the soil can become water saturated and wash away during ANY rainstorm, 
that is the area which needs plants and their root systems to help hold the soil 
particles together such as in a grassy swale area.  Composted organic matter 
is now being specified as a cover for sloping roadsides and ditches as a Best 
Management Practice in an effort to retain the water and PREVENT the surface 
from being washed off during rains.

Tell that to the State of Maryland, North or South Carolina or some of the 
Eastern states fighting manure runoffs.
