CNMP Nutrient Management Element

Pennsylvania Nutrient Management Program Act 38

The nutrient management element and a portion of the Manure and Wastewater Handling and Storage element of a CNMP are met by submitting a Pennsylvania Nutrient Management Program Act 38-equivalent plan for the operation.

An Act 38-equivalent plan is a nutrient management plan identical in format and content to a regulated Act 38 nutrient management plan.

All appendices required in an Act 38 nutrient management plan are required for the Act 38-equivalent plan.

For the NRCS CNMP program, the Act 38-equivalent plan does not require review by a PA Nutrient Management plan reviewer and does not require conservation district board action.

The Act 38-equivalent Nutrient Management element is not a public document and is confidential

The producer may choose to submit the Act 38-equivalent plan to the PA Nutrient Management Program for review and approval, if desired, provided that the plan is written by a PA certified Nutrient Management plan writing specialist, reviewed by a PA certified Nutrient Management plan reviewer, then approved by the local conservation district.
