If you have e dairy with 2000 cows and your total fields are only 5 acres....... Dumping all your manure and cow shit on those five acres will pollute the water.
If that manure is spread on 300 acres I doubt it will pollute the water. It will help fertilize them

We always figured that one acre of ground per animal was about right.

Once saw a dairy farm sludge (manure) pond that collapsed and poured into the Greenbrier River in WV. Not a pretty nor aromatic sight. The problem with the EPA though is eventually, if you dogs poop in your back yard, you will be fined.
