Providing for a manure management planning map

102).102). Manure from an open feedlot operation includes solids that may not be stored in a structure (stockpiled). Open feedlot effluent refers to a combination of manure, precipitation-induced runoff, or other runoff from an open feedlot before its settleable solids have been removed. Both Code chapters regulate the application of manure, often pursuant to a plan required to be filed with DNR.208) covering effluent. BILL’S PROVISIONS. This bill requires DNR to prepare and publish on its internet site a manure management planning map (MMPM) to assist a person applying manure originating from an AFO. The MMPM must be part of an interactive program in the form of a digital dynamic map that identifies areas vulnerable to the application of manure based on a number of factors determined by DNR. The factors must at least include terrain and topography, the effect of climatic conditions, and proximity to a designated area or a water source. A designated area refers to a known sinkhole, a cistern, an abandoned well, an unplugged agricultural drainage well, an agricultural drainage well surface inlet, a drinking water well, a designated wetland (designated as a protected wetland by the United States department of the interior or DNR), or a water source (a lake, river, reservoir, creek, stream, ditch, or other body of water or channel having definite banks and a bed with water flow). An MMPM must also identify fields that are included in more than one MMP or NMP. A person completing a manure management plan (in the case of a confinement feeding operation) or nutrient management plan (in the case of an open feedlot operation) must verify that the person consults with the MMPM prior to application.
