Department:

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND CONSUMER SERVICES

Division:

Division of Agricultural Water Policy

Chapter:

Manure Application in the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie River Watersheds

Overview

RULE:

5M-10.001	Purpose and Applicability (Repealed)
5M-10.002	Definitions (Repealed)
5M-10.003	Land Application Requirements (Repealed)
5M-10.004	Record Keeping (Repealed)

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this proposed rule is to provide requirements for agricultural operations that land-apply animal manure in the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie River watersheds. Adherence to these requirements will reduce non-point source nutrient-related impacts within these watersheds and will help ensure that discharges from farms using manure as a fertilizer product have minimal individual or cumulative adverse impacts to state water resources.

SUMMARY:

This proposed rule establishes requirements for agricultural operations that land-apply animal manure in the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie River watersheds, including a threshold beyond which producers must develop and implement a Conservation Plan or Nutrient Management Plan that contains specific manure application requirements and limitations. The rule also requires record-keeping provisions.
