1 Example Waste Utilization / Nutrient Management Plan Revised 7/05

2 Step 1 - Locate Operation Locate on Topo Map first. Note if any named streams or water bodies present within 2000 feet of the application area of any field, look for other areas of environmental significance.

3 Dairy Facility Name of Topo Quad

4 Step - 2 Locate operation on a soil map. If published soil survey is not available Contact county office to see if they have maps available If no maps available locally, have office contact Area Resource Soil Scientist to get mapping done.

5

6 Step - 3 Again, note if any named water bodies present within 2000 feet of the application area of any field, look for other areas of environmental significance. Check soils to see if any are frequently flooded.

7 Site visit Step - 4 Discuss operation with producer and mention need to get soil tests on all application fields Gather facility data needed for waste utilization plan Record slope of the predominant soil of each field Note quality of perennial grass cover Record cropping system in cropland Record yield goal for crops

8 Develop plan map Step - 5 Operation may be located on an aerial photo. A sketch of the property can be made. You must have current soil test results for each field before you can complete plan.
