RELATED RESOURCES
Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan (CNMP)
CNMP is a conservation plan, unique to animal feeding operations which provides the foundation for controlling potential water pollution associated with Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs). A CNMP is required for farms seeking federal/state cost-sharing to construct manure storage facilities.
