003
of this Title. The

003
of this Title, and the amount
  of manure, litter, and process wastewater applied to each field during the
  previous 12 months; and for any CAFO that implements a nutrient management plan
  that addresses rates of application in accordance with the narrative rate
  approach, the results of any soil testing for nitrogen and phosphorus taken
  during the preceding 12 months, the data used in calculations conducted in
  accordance with the nutrient management plan, and the amount of any
  supplemental fertilizer applied during the previous 12 months.
