§ 83.343. Alternative manure utilization record-keeping.
(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.
