- 	- 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Manure & Wastewater    Handling & StoragePlan Development

- Review
- “CNMP Manure & Wastewater     Handling & Storage Inspection Checklist”         (new 5/1/06)

## 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 |  |

**Notes:**
To determine your manure application rates you will need to look at your soil test phosphorus levels. This is a major change from past IDEM livestock Rules.
This information is from Chart B in the 590.
On the left hand side are soil test P levels and the right hand side are the nutrient application rates for those soil test levels.
The soil test levels are in both ppm and lbs per acre
For instance, if your soil test is < 50 ppm or 100 lb per acre then your application rate is based on the N needs of the crop.
If the soil test P is 100-399 lbs then the application rate is based on P removal rates.  Refer to the explanation below Chart B in the 590 for more details.
And if the soil test P is 400 lbs or more then no additional applications of phosphorus from manure or commercial fertilizer are allowed. 

## 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

**Notes:**
There are additional BMPs to keep in mind for water quality protection.
Follow the setback requirements.
Applications on saturated ground are not allowed.
Weather forecasts must be taken into account 24 hours prior to and after manure applications.  
Applications to frozen and snow covered ground must meet the requirements found in the Rule and as part of the SCPP.
Avoid applications to areas with high flood potential during predicted times of flooding.
Be sure to monitor known field tile outlets under and or bordering land application sites during and immediately following manure applications.  If there is evidence of manure or process wastewater discharging from the tile outlet then cease applications and stop or capture tile flow.
It is also important to keep in mind that many of the resource concerns identified during the nutrient management planning process will be addressed in the Soil Conservation Practice Plan.

## 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

**Notes:**
In summary, you will need to establish realistic goals.  Nutrient sources as determined by the soil test along with legume and manure credits will need to be taken into consideration when planning commercial fertilizer applications.  The manure needs to be analyzed and manure applications made so as not to exceed the crop nitrogen needs.  You will also need to know the soil test phosphorus levels to determine if and how often fields can receive manure.  Environmental evaluations are needed on each field by determining the pre-screening factors and addressing those factors that are high or very high.  All additional applicable environmental requirements found in the Rule such as setbacks, flooding potential, and applications to highly erodible and frozen soils must also be addressed.
