| Description: |
| A Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan
(CNMP) is a specialized conservation activity plan (Code 102) fund code
unique to animal feeding operations. EQIP payments will only be made to
producers for development of a CNMP by certified Technical Service
Providers (TSP). The producer must have commitment from the TSP that a
CNMP will be written and delivered within 9 months after the date the CNMP
contract is signed. The conservation practices and management activities
planned and implemented as part of a CNMP must meet NRCS technical
standards; the NRCS Statement of Work (SOW) will be strictly adhered to.
An Environmental Evaluation (TN-CPA-25) is to be prepared for all activity
plans. The only practice that will be funded in this state sub-account is
Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan. A CNMP, when implemented as part
of a conservation system, will help to ensure that both production and
natural resource protection goals are achieved. A CNMP incorporates
practices to utilize animal manure and organic by-products as a beneficial
resource. A CNMP addresses natural resource concerns dealing with soil
erosion, manure, and organic by-products and their potential impacts on
water quality, which may derive from an AFO. A CNMP is developed to assist
an AFO owner/operator in meeting all applicable local, tribal, State, and
Federal water quality goals or regulations. For nutrient impaired stream
segments or water bodies, additional management activities or conservation
practices may be required to meet local, tribal, State, or Federal water
quality goals or regulations. |

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? |

Will the treatment you intend to implement for water
conservation or irrigation efficiency using EQIP result in a
considerable reduction in water use? |

| 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? |

| 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? |

| 5 |
Will the treatment you intend to implement using
EQIP result in a considerable increase in the promotion of at-risk
species habitat conservation? |

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? |
