Information for Technical Service Providers
 

A Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan (CNMP), which is unique to animal feeding operations, is developed to assist an owner/operator in meeting all applicable local, tribal, State and Federal water quality goals or regulations. It is a grouping of conservation practices and management activities which, 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. It addresses natural resource concerns that may exist on the farmstead, including soil erosion, manure and organic by-products, and their potential impacts on water quality.
