Statewide CNMP Development Initiative - FY 2009

Program Information

The USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has announced the availability of funds for development of Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plans (CNMP) by private-sector Technical Service Providers (TSPs). A CNMP is a conservation system plan that is unique to animal feeding operations (AFO/CAFO). It includes a set of conservation practices and management activities that address natural resource concerns dealing with manure and organic by-products and their potential impacts on water quality. Listings of Technical Service Providers who are certified to develop a CNMP in a specific state and county can be found on the TechReg website at http://techreg.usda.gov.

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.
