| Description: |
| Applications funded in this fund code will be
for applicants meeting the definition of Beginning Farmer or Rancher who
have resource concerns that can be addressed by one or more of the primary
practices listed below. Supporting practices will only be used to support
a primary eligible practice. Applicants needing other practices not listed
here are encouraged to apply in any other fund code that addresses their
resource concerns. Applications in this fund code will be funded at any
time throughout the year as long as funds are available. NOTE: Before
being ranked, all applicants must pass the Tennessee EQIP & WHIP

Question |
Points |
| 1 |
Will the treatment you intend to implement using
EQIP result in a considerable reduction of non-point source
pollution, such as nutrients, sediment, pesticides, excess salinity
in impaired watersheds with total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) where
available, groundwater contamination or point sources such as
contamination from confined animal feeding operations? |
25 |
| 2 |
Will the treatment you intend to implement for water
conservation or irrigation efficiency using EQIP result in a
considerable reduction in water use? |
25 |
| 3 |
Will the treatment you intend to implement using
EQIP result in a considerable reduction of emissions, such as
particulate matter, nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic
compounds, and ozone precursors and depleters that contribute to air
quality impairment violations of National Ambient Air Quality
Standards? |
25 |
| 4 |
Will the treatment you intend to implement using
EQIP result in a considerable reduction in soil erosion and
sedimentation from unacceptable levels on agricultural land? |
25 |
| 5 |
Will the treatment you intend to implement using
EQIP result in a considerable increase in the promotion of at-risk
species habitat conservation? |
25 |
| 6 |
Will the treatment that you intend to implement
using EQIP result in considerable benefits to residue management,
nutrient management, air quality management, invasive species
management, pollinator habitat, and animal carcass management
technology or pest management? |
