Construct Community Nutrient Management Facilities in Selected Watersheds of Georgia: The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to demonstrate the benefits of creating a network to transfer poultry litter from areas of high concentration of poultry litter to areas of lower concentration of poultry litter for proper land application. This is to be accomplished through the construction of Community Nutrient Management Facilities. Excess litter will be imported to the facilities & stored for export to receiving operations based on nutrient management plans developed for the receiving operation or a needs report. Summary: The Natural Resources Conservation Service is offering this cooperative agreement opportunity by soliciting proposals and providing funds to construct and manage Community Nutrient Management Facilities on private individual farms, with adequate acreage to apply litter according to a nutrient management plan. Successful applicants agree to complete the following as part of the cooperative agreement award: a) Construct CNMF according to the requirements of NRCS Practice Standard 313 Waste Storage Structure.
