What Issues Are Addressed in a Permit? 

 
A Nutrient Management Plan (NMP) is the foundation of any permit. NMP's address nine topics including manure storage, crop nutrient management planning, mortality, chemical storage and other topics.

Construction of new or modified storage or runoff control facilities must meet multiple engineering and design requirements specified by Nebraska Title 130.

  • These requirements are discussed in detail in Chapter 7 and Chapter 8 of Title 130.
  • The Construction Approval process followed by NDEQ is described in Chapter 4.

 

A Nebraska CAFO will also be asked to address:

1. Odor management (Chapter 5, section 004.05)

2. Location and setback restrictions (Chapter 9) 

3. Irrigation distribution requirements (Chapter 10)
