I just came up with a way to have an underground-yet-Miasma-free stockpile/skins-that-haven't-gotten-tanned-and-are-rotten/etc

The stockpiles (or, in my case, over-eager Butcher, lazy/slow Tanner leading to lots of skin rotting in the Butcher) should be 1z below surface. Channel out the area directly above the stockpile/workshop/etc. replace the ground with whatever material you want (windows or glass for aesthetics that don't do anything).

As long as they've been exposed to sunlight once IIRC, no Miasma will be produced.

Voila. a siege-safe method of taking care of Miasma-producing items.

I like the checkerboard garbage dump approach because it can be done at any depth. Miasma doesn't spread through diagonal gaps, it only spreads in the four cardinal directions. Therefore, a checkerboard garbage dump will keep any miasma in the tile it started in. Dwarves hauling garbage may still walk through a miasma square or two on their way to drop off trash, but that's only a very minor hit to happiness. I make a macro since it's a pain to designate a checkerboard dig pattern.

My setup:

Similar to checkerboard dumping zone, but just with checkerboarded gateways. I can keep the kitchens and the fishworks, the tanner and the butcher seperated, there are nice little dumping grounds which don't fill up as quickly as checkerboard dumping grounds, and it keeps the purple contained. And unlike the "just below the surface" method, it can be done under five layers of aquifer. The bones get dragged out to another area for furniture decoration and so forth.
