Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan Criteria

Practice Activity Code (102) (No.) 1. Definitions A. A Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan (CNMP) is a component conservation plan that includes a combination of structural practices, management activities, and/or land management practices for an Animal Feeding Operation (AFO) associated with crop or livestock production that collectively ensures that the purposes of crop or livestock production and preservation of natural resources (especially the conservation of air quality, soil erosion, and water quality as related to nutrient related impacts) are compatible. A CNMP consists of the following four components:

(1) Signature page with signatures by the Certified CNMP Planner and the client. The signature page must also include farm contact information and the dates of the plan period. See Exhibit A of this Conservation Activity Plan (CAP) 102 for sample CNMP template.

(2) Farmstead (Production Area), including maps, Record of Decisions (planned and applied conservation practices) for the farmstead(s)/AFO (production/manure handling areas), and additional information about the AFO. Specific requirement details provided in the CNMP Criteria Section of this CAP 102.

(3) Crop and Pasture (Land Treatment), including maps, Record of Decisions (planned and applied conservation practices) for the crop and pasture lands where the nutrients will be applied, and soil erosion predictions. Specific requirement details provided in the CNMP Criteria Section of this CAP 102.

(4) Nutrient Management Plan (590) following the established criteria, plans and specifications, operation and maintenance, and recordkeeping. Specific requirement details provided in the CNMP Criteria Section of this CAP 102.

2. CNMP Criteria This section establishes the minimum criteria the planner must address in the development and implementation of CNMPs. A. General Criteria

(1) The CNMP shall meet the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) planning criteria for water quality (nutrients, organics, and sediments in surface and groundwater), soil erosion (sheet and rill, wind, ephemeral gully, classic gully, and irrigation induced natural resource concerns on the production area and the land treatment area), and air quality (Emissions of Particulate Matter - PM and PM Precursors and Objectionable Odors).

(2) A CNMP must comply with Federal, Tribal, State, and local laws, regulations, and permit requirements and meet the producer’s objectives.

(3) A CNMP must be designed to assist owners/operators in taking voluntary actions to minimize potential pollutants from animal confinement facilities and land application of manure and organic by-products.

(4) Information in the CNMP must document landowner(s) decisions. (5) The CNMP must require evaluation and documentation of compliance with the National

Environmental Policy Act, the Endangered Species Act, the National Historic Preservation Act, and other effects on the environment. This evaluation and documentation process WILL BE COMPLETED BY NRCS.

(6) A CNMP must be developed by persons who meet NRCS certification requirements. The specific criteria for certification of NRCS employees and conservation partners can be found in NRCS General Manual 180 Part 409. The specific criteria for certification for Technical Service Providers (TSP) is available via the TSP website

CNMP Template of 31

http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/main/national/programs/technical/tsp (7) All CNMPs must be developed and documented per the general CNMP format shown in Exhibit A

of the CAP 102. (Part 1 – Signature Page; Part 2 – Record of Decisions for the Farmstead (Production Area(s)); Part 3 – Record of Decision for the Crop and Pasture (Land Treatment Area); Part 4 – Nutrient Management Plan

(8) The nutrient management plan portion of the CNMP must be developed in accordance with the State nutrient management (590) Conservation Practice Standard.

(9) In most situations, addressing the CNMP Criteria will require a combination of conservation practices and management activities to meet the production needs of the AFO owner/operator, and resource concerns associated with the farmstead and land treatment areas. The Field Office Technical Guide (FOTG) Section III and National Planning Procedures Handbook contain additional information and guidance.

B. Specific criteria and format for the CNMP – See Exhibit A for sample format and content.

(1) Signature page with signatures of Certified CNMP Planner and client. The signature page must also include farm contact information and dates of plan period.

(2) Farmstead (Production Area)

a) Plan map(s) showing existing and planned structures (See NPPH Title 180, part 600.31 subpart A for map requirements); Soils Map(s) for the headquarters with the appropriate soil interpretations (as needed);

b) Record of Decisions (planned and applied conservation practices) for the farmstead (production area(s)). This includes the documentation for all currently applied practices that will be maintained as well as all planned practices with schedule of implementation (month/year of planned implementation and amount). For practices previously planned and applied with NRCS technical assistance, documentation will be maintained in the client case folder in the local NRCS field office (engineering plans, job sheets, or implementation requirements). The engineering plans, job sheets, or implementation requirements for future planned practices are not required to be completed during the CNMP planning phase, but will be developed by the appropriate entity per the schedule of implementation. Sample record of decisions documentation:

Composting Facility (Code 317) - A composting facility is a structure or device that uses controlled aerobic decomposition to transform waste organic material into a biologically stable product that can be used as a soil amendment.

Tract Land Unit Planned Amount Planned Date Applied Amount Applied Date

(None) Farmstead 1 2009

Waste Storage Facility (Code 313) - A waste storage facility is an agricultural waste storage impoundment/containment made by constructing an embankment and/or excavating a pit or dugout, or fabricating a structure.


(None) Farmstead 1 4/2017

CNMP Template of 31

c) Completed Implementation Requirements or Engineering plans for planned practices and/or Reference to Implementation Requirements or Engineering plans for practices already implemented. (Plans and specifications for practices are maintained in the case file.) For structures installed prior to CNMP development which were installed without NRCS assistance, the structures should be shown on the appropriate plan map and a note in the Record of Decisions that the structures were installed without NRCS technical or financial assistance. Document whether existing structures are operated and maintained in satisfactory condition. Structural evaluations include, but are not limited to: adequate storage capacity, visually structurally sound and runoff/seepage adequately controlled.

d) Information about the AFO (both existing and proposed), including an Animal Inventory (type, number, average weight, number of days confined). May be found in tables printed from animal waste planning software.

e) Manure Storage Information (type of manure storage, existing storage volumes/sizes (when applicable) and maximum length of storage available). May be found in tables printed from animal waste planning software. If applicable, planned imports, exports, and on-farm transfers of manure;

f) For confinement-based livestock and poultry operations with a maximum capacity greater than or equal to 300 animal units for the following species: swine, dairy, beef, horse, broiler chickens, layer hens, and turkeys, the use of the National Air Quality Site Assessment Tool (NAQSAT) is REQUIRED for evaluating the air quality resource concerns. Use of NAQSAT for smaller operations (i.e., less than 300 animal units) of these species is encouraged, but not required. A baseline NAQSAT report (i.e., representing current management of the operation) must be provided by the producer or TSP (if not provided by NRCS). The information identified by the baseline report, in conjunction with other pertinent data for the livestock or poultry operation, will be used to identify any potential air quality resource concerns at the operation. If an air quality resource concern is identified, the TSP and producer will identify potential mitigation options to address that concern and an updated NAQSAT report must be prepared by the producer and TSP, representing the management of the operation after implementing the potential mitigation options. The NAQSAT can be accessed free of charge at http://naqsat.tamu.edu. NAQSAT is not used to evaluate regulatory compliance.

g) (Optional) Brief Description of, or additional information about AFO

(3) Crop and Pasture (Land Treatment)

a) Plan map(s) showing existing and planned structures, application fields, soils, application setbacks, existing and planned crop and pasture practices (See NPPH Title 180, part 600.31 subpart A for map requirements);

b) Record of Decisions (planned and applied conservation practices) for the crop and pasture lands where the nutrients will be applied. This includes documentation for all currently applied practices that will be maintained as well as all the planned practices with schedule of implementation to include: month/year of planned application and amount. For practices previously planned and applied with NRCS technical assistance those plans will be in the client case file in the local NRCS field office (engineering plans, job sheets, or implementation requirements). The engineering plans, job sheets, or implementation requirements for future planned practices are not required to be completed during the CNMP planning phase, but will be developed by the appropriate entity per the schedule of implementation. Implementation Requirements for conservation practices necessary for completing risk assessments shall be included with the CNMP Examples of these practices include: Conservation Cover (327), Conservation Crop Rotation (328), Cover Crop (340), and Residue and Tillage Management (329 or 345), Contour Farming (330), Stripcropping (585), Field Border (386) and Filter Strip (393).

Changes in total manure nutrients due to internal transfers between storage units with differing analyses. 6. Total manure nutrients present in storage(s) at the end of plan. 7. Total nutrients present in land-applied manure. Losses due to rate, timing and method of application are not included in these values. 8. Available manure nutrients applied on the farm based on rate, time and method of application. Based on total manure nutrients applied (row 7) after accounting for state-specific nutrient losses due to rate, time and method of application. Nutrients which will not be utilized by crops in the plan (row 9) are excluded from these values. 9.Nutrients applied as commercial fertilizers and nitrates contained in irrigation water. Nutrients that will not be utilized by crops in the plan (row 11) are excluded from these values. 10. Sum of available manure nutrients applied (row 8) and commercial fertilizer nutrients applied (row 10). 11. For N the value generally is based on crop N recommendation for non-legume crops and crop N uptake or other state-imposed limit for N application rates for legumes. P2O5 and K2O values generally are based on fertilizer recommendations or crop removal (whichever is greatest). 12. Available nutrients applied (row 12) minus crop nutrient utilization potential (row 13). Negative values indicate additional nutrient utilization potential and positive values indicate over-application. 13. Average per acre nutrient balance, calculated by dividing nutrient balance of spreadable acres (row 14) by the number of spreadable acres in plan and by the length of the plan in years. Negative values indicate additional average per acre nutrient utilization potential and positive values indicate average per acre over-application. * Non-trivial, positive values for N indicate that the plan was not properly developed. Negative values for N indicate additional nutrient utilization potential which may or may not be intentional. For example, plans that include legume crops often will not utilize the full N utilization potential for legume crops if manure can be applied to non-legume crops that require N for optimum yield. Positive values for P2O5 and/or K2O do not necessarily indicate that the plan was not developed properly. For example, producers may be allowed to apply N-based application rates of manure to fields with low soil test P values or fields with a low potential P-loss risk based on the risk assessment tool used by the state. Negative values for P2O5 and K2O indicate that planned applications to some fields are less than crop removal rates.

Calculated by dividing nutrient balance of non-spreadable acres (row 3) by number of non-spreadable acres in plan. Negative values indicate additional average per acre nutrient utilization potential and positive values indicate average per acre over-application. * Non-trivial, positive values for N indicate that the plan was not properly developed. Negative values for N indicate additional nutrient utilization potential which may or may not be intentional. Positive values for P2O5 and/or K2O do not necessarily indicate that the plan was not developed properly. For example, multiple year applications may have been planned during the final plan year(s) and these nutrients will not be utilized by crops in the current plan. Negative values for P2O5 and K2O indicate that applications to some fields may have been delayed to allow the producer to apply the nutrients in accordance with their fertilization schedule.
