Key Components of CNMP for
Poultry Producers
•
•
•
•
•
Soil and Litter Analysis
Completion of Nutrient Budgets
Appropriate Storage and Application
Proper Dead Bird Disposal
Prevention of Soil Erosion and Water
Contamination
• Documentation of Plan
FEDERAL AND STATE
REGULATIONS
CLEAN WATER ACT OF 1972
Focused on point source pollution
WATER QUALITY ACT OF1987
•Amended the 1972 act and emphasized
control of non-point source pollution.
•Brought agriculture into the picture.
CAFOs
CONFINED ANIMAL FEEDING
OPERATIONS
Required to have NPDES permits
CAFOs FOR POULTRY
• 30,000 laying hens with liquid manure
system
• 100,000 laying hens or broilers using a
continuous overflow watering system
• Dry litter poultry operations were exempt
• Some dry litter poultry operations no
longer exempt
GEORGIA EPD/DNR PASSED NEW CAFO REGS
FOR DRY MANURE POULTRY OPERATORS
AUGUST of 2003
STATE PERMITTED CAFOs
For Dry Manure
• 125,000 chickens or broilers (other than
laying hens).
• 82,000 laying hens
• 55,000 turkeys
• 30,000 ducks
• Two or more AFOs under common
ownership are CAFOs if they adjoin each
other or use a common disposal area.
CNMPs for Dry Manure Poultry operators do not have to
be developed by a certified planner. Can be done by
individuals trained by an academic or trade organization
Operators of Dry Manure Systems do not have to be
certified
CNMPs are kept on the farm except upon request by EPD
GEORGIA POULTRY PRODUCERS MUST
CONTINUE TO IMPLEMENT INDUSTRY
IMPLEMENTED CNMP PROGRAM AS WELL
AS STATE PERMITTED PROGRAM
GEORGIA EPD WILL MONITOR INDUSTRY
SPONSORED CNMP PROGRAM
IMPLEMENTING VOLUNTARY NUTRIENT
MANAGEMENT PLANS NOW CAN
REDUCE POTENTIAL ADVERSE EFFECTS
ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND DEMONSTRATE

SOIL AND LITTER ANALYSIS
DRY LITTER SAMPLING
(In-House)
• 10-12 one pint samples/house
• Combine samples in a plastic bucket and
mix thoroughly
• Place one quart of mixed sample in a
plastic bag
• Seal bag tightly and ship to lab
• N, P, K + minerals  No charge through
UGA Ag Services Lab
Dry litter Sampling
(piled or Spreader)
The preferred way to sample litter is from collected piles
during clean out. Use the following steps:
1. Collect at least 10 shovel full from piles or
spreader.
2. Combine in a clean 5 gallon bucked and mix.
3. Place one quart in a plastic bag, seal and ship to
the laboratory.
4. Refrigerate sample if not shipped within 24 h.
5. Stockpiled samples should be collected at a
dept of 18 inches.
Dry Litter Sampling
Permitted CAFOs are required to sample litter/manure
at a minimum on an annual basis.
Non permitted industry sponsored CNMP operations
are encouraged to sample on at least an annual basis,
but may use an average of samples if management
programs have not changed substantially.
SOIL SAMPLING
• Obtain soil sample bags from county agent
• Take representative soil samples
• Provide appropriate information on soil
sample bags
• Submit samples to lab for analysis
SOIL SAMPLING PROCEDURES
• Use soil sampling tube, auger, spade, etc.
• Take at least 15 to 20 samples for every 15
acres
• Mix samples in clean plastic bucket
• Fill soil sample bag to “fill line”
• Seal bag for shipment to lab for analysis

• One Breeder House
10,000 hens x 44 lbs
• One Pullet House
24,000 pullets x 8 lbs
• One Layer House
100,000 layers x 40 lbs

* If peanuts or tobacco are included in your crop rotation be sure to test soil following each manure application
for recommendations on avoiding nutrient toxicity from high soil concentrations of Zn, or other micronutrients.
* See Farm*A*Syst Publications for information on applying animal waste, especially around streams, wells
and on other environmentally sensitive areas.
* When making liquid manure applications, proper irrigation techniques must be used to
to prevent manure liquids from running off into surface water or leaching into groundwater.

• A site specific tool to assess risk of P
application
• Based on risk factors such as: Soil Test P,
Soil Type, Slope of Land, Water Table
Depth, Buffer Zones and Crops Produced
• Required for Permitted CAFO CNMPs
• Will be Necessary to Incorporate into All
