HB 1971 Poultry waste management; changes phosphorus application rates.

Introduced by: M. Kirkland Cox | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Phosphorous application rates for poultry waste.  Changes the standard for the amount of phosphorous from poultry waste that can be applied on farmland. Currently nutrient management plans for poultry waste are to include phosphorous application rates that are equal to the capacity of a crop to remove phosphorous from the soil. This bill requires that phosphorous application rates for nutrient management plans will have to conform to regulatory criteria and standards adopted by the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR).  The application rates contemplated by DCR would take into account such factors as the soil's phosphorous level, the slope of the land, farming practices, and the proximity of the land to streams.
