Why would a producer prepare a CNMP?• Good Question???• Required for EQIP cost share on:

- Waste Storage Facility (313) - Waste Treatment Lagoon (359)• EQIP CNMP Incentive • ’07 EQIP Emergency and CNMPs• Required on EPA 319 c/s for non-CAFO• EPA CAFO Rule (anticipated workload)

So, What’s a CNMP?• Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan

(CNMP)• A detailed plan to identify & address all of the

environmental risks associated with a livestock operation (180 NPPH Part 600.5)

• 6 elements– manure & wastewater handling & storage*– land treatment practices*– nutrient management*– record keeping* (producer)– feed management– other utilization options

• CNMP Data Collection Checklist (revised 12/19/05)

Review & Discuss “CNMP Data Collection Checklist”

with a title of“CNMP Guidance for Minimum

Requirements” document (revised 12/19/05)

Acre & Animal Unit Issues

• Animal Units– All animal species on the operation

• Acres– CNMP covers all land under control of the

operator (owned land at that operation and land under lease/rent)

– At the minimum, CNMP covers acres in the EQIP contract

CNMP Signature Requirements for EQIP Payment

- Who can sign what??

Review “Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan

(CNMP) Review Checklist” (revised 3/13/06)

IDEM Enforcement Cases - 2004

Causes

• Runoff (feed lots, storage, silage) – 6

• Storage Pits (overflow, pipes, caps) – 8

• Land Application – 7

2/21 resulted in fish kills (both were land application)

IDEM Update

• CFO Rule Update– revision

• CAFO Update – # of CAFOs– Revision of due dates

• NMP/CNMP = SCPP + CAFO NMP– Erosion to “T”– Leaching– Runoff

• Ag Liaison

CAFO Requirements that Differ from CFO Requirements

• Soil Conservation Practice Plan (SCPP) written & implemented for land owned or controlled by the CAFO owner/ operator by July 31, 2007.

• Comply with NRCS Nutrient Management Standard 590 by July 31, 2007.

• Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP or SWP3) for production area

• Annual manure analysis and soil testing every three years

• Frozen ground land application prohibited unless in accordance with Soil Conservation Practice Plan

Nutrient Management & Land Treatment

N & P Application Rates for Indiana

The 590 & the Environmental Component

Chart B. Organic Nutrient Application Guidelines Based on Soil Test Phosphorus

Soil Test Phosphorus Level

(Bray P1/Mehlich 3 ppm / lb) Basis for Nutrient

Application

< 50 ppm (100 lbs) Nitrogen Based

50 – 99 (100 – 199 lbs) NTE 1.5 x Crop P2O5 Removal 1

100 – 199 (200 – 399 lbs) NTE Crop P2O5 Removal 1

200 ppm (400 lbs) + No P application

1 Found in Table 3

NTE = Not To Exceed

ppm x 2 = lbs. / acre or lbs / acre x 0.5 = ppm

Additional BMPs

• Water quality protection

- Setback requirements

- No applications on saturated ground

- Monitor weather forecast (24 hrs. prior)

- Application to frozen/snow covered land

- Application site potential to flooding

- Do not exceed infiltration rate, minimize ponding & avoid runoff - Field tile outlet monitoring

Additional NM/LT Stuff

• Winter spreading– 633 = Wastes shall not be applied to frozen

or snow covered fields when the risk for runoff exists from field edge or to tile riser

– CFO = surface applications on >2% must have adequate residue or a crop

– CAFO = if part of the SCPP

• Setbacks– 633 & CFO/CAFO

590 Standard - Summary

• Realistic yield• Quantify sources - soil nutrient

- legume credits - organic sources - commercial fertilizer• Manure analysis• Manure applications

- (PAN) NTE planned crop N needs

- STP (Chart B)

• Environmental evaluation(Chart A / ORI)- may impact app rates- address H/VH concerns

• Additional environmental requirements- setbacks- frequently flooded soils- HEL/frozen soils

• Actual application rate within 20% of planned

Quality Assurance (QA)

• Procedure for FY07

• Previous issues

Additional Issues – past & future

• M&W H&S P.E. (resolved 5/06)

• Site investigation (resolved ___?)

• Continuing Education

• TSP NTE Rates

• CNMP Implementation/follow-up

• Meeting regulatory requirements

• Submission of CNMP to ____?
