NUTRIENT AND ANIMAL MANAGEMENT PLANNING PROGRAM
A Nutrient Management Plan (NMP) or Animal Waste Management (AWMP) is a strategy to manage the amount, placement, timing and application of nutrients and is required for anyone who manages more than 10 acres of land on which nutrients are applied and/or operates an animal operation in excess of 8,000 lbs. of live animals. A NMP must meet the regulations of the Nutrient Management Law, and can be developed for your operation at no cost. Payment of cost assistance is contingent upon funding availability. A certified nutrient generator is authorized to write an AWMP for their operation but the plan must meet the regulations of the Nutrient Management law.
NMP's can be provided by a certified nutrient consultant. To request a Nutrient Management Plan, contact a private or public Certified Nutrient Consultant, or the State Nutrient Management Program.
Please refer to the Delaware Guidelines for Agriculture Nutrient Management Plan or contact a member of the Nutrient Management staff or a Nutrient Management Commissioner for further assistance.
