Nebraska CNMP Educational Program 1-3
Strategic vs. Tactical Records
• Strategic Records - Completed once for NPDES permit 5-year cycle.
– Includes permit– May need occasional review/update– May need to be translated into employee SOPs and
employee training
• Tactical Records– Require regular updates & additions
Nebraska CNMP Educational Program 1-4
Overview (Section A)
• Plan documentation (NPDES permit application) addressing nine elements of a NMP
– Adequate storage– Mortality– Clean water mgmt.– Animal contact with waters of US– Chemical handling– Conservation practices– Testing or manures and soil– Land application methods– Records
√
Nebraska CNMP Educational Program 1-5
Animal Management (Section B)
• Manure Production √
√
√
• Inventory or animal populations, mortalities, other:_________________
• Daily inspections of water lines (records – large CAFO only)
Nebraska CNMP Educational Program 1-6
Manure Handling & Storage (Section C)
• Facility documentation (permit) √
√
√
• Inspections (all CAFOs) & log of inspections (large CAFOs)
– Diversion and collection structures– Storage liquid level (all CAFOs)– Sludge & sediment accumulation– Storage structure (?)– Pumping equipment (?)– Deficiencies & corrections (all CAFOs)
• Pumping log – Pumping start & stop times, rates, liquid levels, precipitation
Nebraska CNMP Educational Program 1-7
Land Treatment Practices (Section D)
• Map of application sites with setbacks, restrictions, & conservation practices identified (permit)
√
å Results of P Index assessments (found in
Title 130 – not addressed in federal rules) for Large CAFOs only
Nebraska CNMP Educational Program 1-8
Crop Nutrient Management (Section E)
• Standard operating procedures for soil and manure testing. √
Nebraska CNMP Educational Program 1-9
Standard Operating Procedure
Nebraska CNMP Educational Program 1-10
Crop Nutrient Management (Section E)
• Standard operating procedures for soil and manure testing. √
√
√
• Field Nutrient Balance (fertilizer & manure)– Procedures for estimating application rates– Pre-season plan for N & P application– Post-season summary of crops grown, yields, and N
& P applied
• Equipment operator plan identifying location, rate, form, and method of all nutrients to be applied (?)
Nebraska CNMP Educational Program 1-11
Crop Nutrient Management (Section E)
• Field specific application record– dates and amounts actually applied– Weather conditions 24 hr before to 24 hr after (Large
CAFOs)
√
√
√
• Manure and soil test results
• Inspection of application eqpt. (including irrigation systems
– Dates (all CAFOs)– Log of inspections (large CAFOs) – Maintenance records (all CAFOs)– Calibration results (?)
Nebraska CNMP Educational Program 1-12
Feed Manure
Pre-Season - Nutrient based application plan - Plan for eqpt. operator - Manure & soil samples - Equipment inspections
In-Season - Equipment calibration - Record of application rates - Report of discharges
Post-Season - Actual yields - Actual manure & nutrients applied
Strategic Records - Permit’s documentation - SOP for soil/manure sampling - P Index (every five years)

Nebraska CNMP Educational Program 1-13
Record Keeping (Section F)
• Manure spills reports √
å Annual NPDES report
Nebraska CNMP Educational Program 1-14
Other Utilization Activities (Section G)
• Alternative Technology documentation (permit)
√
√
√
• Manure transfers (3rd party ID, date, amount).
• Alternative technology inspection, maintenance, and performance ???
– check NPDES permit
Nebraska CNMP Educational Program 1-15
Performance (Section G)
• Measures of performance– P Index results– Field summaries of nutrient balance– Actual yields– Storage levels– Past manure spills
√
• Optional measures of performance– Stalk nitrate tests– 3rd party review of risks– Whole farm nutrient balance
Nebraska CNMP Educational Program 1-16
Questions:
• Modifications to Checklists?
• What should be done to promote better records?
Nebraska CNMP Educational Program 1-17
Separating Strategic vs Annual Crop Nutrient Plans in NPDES
Process(Heartland WQ Project Effort )
• Avoid identifying application rates and final application sites in permit
– Minimize need to modify permit
• Provide producer with instructions for adapting rates and application sites
• Recognize the value (importance) of soil and manure testing
Nebraska CNMP Educational Program 1-18
Strategic Crop Nutrient Plansfor NPDES Permit
(Heartland WQ Project Proposal )
• Crop Nutrient Requirements– Calculations– Assumptions– Producer Instructions
• Manure & Fertilizer Application Rates– Calculations– Assumptions– N-Based rate considerations – P-Based rates consideration– P Index application– Producer instructions
Nebraska CNMP Educational Program 1-19
Strategic Crop Nutrient Plansfor NPDES Permit
• Sample Annual Plan ( for crop year immediately after NPDES permit submission - one year only)
– Manure analysis results– N-Rate calculation results– P-rate calculation results– Most recent P-Index results– Field summary nutrient application plan (rate,
method, timing, location)
