Statewide Lagoon Closure Resource Concerns - FY 2008

Program Information

This allocation has been set-aside to assist in the closure of livestock waste treatment lagoons and livestock waste storage ponds where confined animal production operations were discontinued voluntarily, involuntarily, or by termination of an industry contract statewide.  Applications are evaluated, ranked by a multi-disciplinary team, and selected for funding at the state level.

This practice provides complete closure under the Oklahoma Closure of Waste Impoundments (360) practice standard for closure of treatment lagoons, waste storage ponds, under barn storage pits, and other associated waste facilities in an environmentally safe manner, that are no longer used for their intended purpose.  Closure of these facilities will follow an official closure plan developed by NRCS, the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry (ODAFF), or an approved Technical Service Provider.

Eligibility and Application Process

Applications will be accepted on a continuous basis, but only those received by November 1, 2007, will be considered for this initial application ranking and selection period.  Funding selections will be made on or before December 11, 2007, exclusively from those applications received until all funds are obligated or all viable applications are exhausted.
