(a)
Recordkeeping for manure
exports. The following recordkeeping requirements apply to manure
exported off of the NMP operation:
(1) A
manure export sheet shall be used for all manure transfers from the
operation.
(2) The Commission or
delegated conservation district will make copies of the manure export sheet
forms available to the operation.
(3) Computer-generated forms other than the
manure export sheet forms provided by the Commission may be used if they
contain the same information as, and are reasonably similar in format to, the
forms provided by the Commission.
(4) Recordkeeping related to the application
of exported manure must comply with the following:
(i) The exporter is responsible for the
completion of the manure export sheet, providing a copy to the importer and
retaining a copy at the exporting operation.
(ii) When the exporter, or person working
under the direction of the exporter, such as an employee or a commercial manure
hauler, applies the manure to the land, the exporter is responsible for
maintaining records of the actual application dates, application areas
(including the observation of any relevant setback restrictions), application
methods, and application rates for the exported manure.
(iii) When the manure is exported through a
broker, the exporting operation is not responsible for obtaining records of
actual application information for importing operations, unless the exporting
operator manages the application of the manure. If the broker is responsible
for applying the manure, the broker shall retain records of the application of
all manure (including date, areas, methods and rates applied) and shall provide
a copy of these application records to the importing operation for its records.
(b)
Recordkeeping for alternative manure utilization by means other than
manure export. Operators shall keep annual records of the amount and
use of manure utilized in any manner other than through manure
transfers.
