6.  Arizona NPDES General Permit for CAFOs

Logbook

In the Arizona NPDES General permit for CAFOs, Section IV.  Permit Requirements lists the requirements for the BMP plan and record keeping.  This chapter of the notebook contains worksheets to assist in determining if the manure management system is in compliance and in keeping the necessary records.

Part IV. B. 1. c. i through iii:  and Part IV. B. 2.:  The Animal Waste Management System Checklist (page 6-3) will help producers determine what is required and what is needed on the operation to comply with those requirements.  If the operation is lacking some requirements, the producer will likely need to consult with an engineer or conservation planner.

Part IV. B. 1. c. iv., vi. through x., and xii:  Pages 6-5 through 6-17 are provided to help producers development the complete BMP plan.  Included are worksheets on:

    Worksheet 1:        BMP Plan Responsibility

    Worksheet 9:         Quarterly Monitoring

Once a Nutrient Management Plan has been completed and approved by a certified nutrient management planner, Part IV. B. 3. c. & d. outline the records that must be kept of on-site and off-site land applications.  These sheets will assist producers in those requirements:

    Worksheet 10:       On-Site Land Application
