Statewide AFO/CAFO Animal Waste Management - FY 2009

Program Information

Animal Feeding Operations/Confined Animal Feeding Operations (AFO/CAFO) operations can apply for EQIP financial assistance for the storage, treatment, and utilization of animal waste. This is a statewide process to address the water quality impacts of these operations to the rivers and streams of the state.

These funds will be available only to existing and expanding beef, dairy, or swine confined feeding operations. A lower priority will be given to operations that are planning expansion beyond current levels or capacity, and all applications for new facilities and poultry operations are ineligible for evaluation under the Statewide AFO/CAFO Resource Concern Criteria.

Application Process, Eligibility and Evaluation Criteria

Applications will be accepted on a continuous basis, but only those received by April 1, 2009, will be considered for the initial selections.  Funding selections will be made on or before May 22, 2009, exclusively from those applications received. Applicants may apply by completing the NRCS-CPA-1200 Application Form and Appendix and submit it to their local NRCS Field Service Center.
