Ohio Admin. Code 901:10-2-10 - Contents of manure management plan: manure characterization
The manure management plan shall contain information on manure to allow the owner or operator to plan for nutrient utilization at recommended agronomic rates and to minimize nutrient runoff that may impact waters of the state.
(A) Manure characterization
shall describe the manure by the per cent of liquid content, the per cent of
solids content and/or manure density and shall follow the sampling procedures
for manure sampling and analysis in "Recommended Methods of Manure Analysis" (a
3769), university of Wisconsin extension, 2003 a free copy of which can be
downloaded at http://learningstore.uwex.edu/.
For an existing facility that will continue to have similar manure storage or
treatment facilities with no change in treatment technology, the manure shall
be characterized utilizing an actual sample from the facility. If the owner or
operator is proposing a new facility, new manure storage or treatment facility,
or a change in treatment technology, then the manure shall be characterized by
using the table appended to this rule or by utilizing a representative analysis
from a similar type facility with a similar type of manure storage or treatment
facility to characterize manure, the owner or operator shall submit this
alternative manure data along with the identification of the source of the
data. Manure characterization shall include the following:
(1) Total manure production quantified:
(a) Pounds per day; or
(b) Tons per year; or
(c) Cubic yards per day; or
(d) Gallons per day.
(2) Nutrient content quantified:
(a) Pounds per day; and/or
(b) Pounds per ton; or
(c) Pounds per one thousand
gallons.
(B)
The manure management plan shall contain an estimate, supported by calculations
of the quantity and total nutrient content of manure produced, stored and
treated during a twelve month period along with a schedule for manure removal
or manure transfer for purposes of land application. Manure may be removed
based on results of inspections conducted pursuant to paragraph (A)(4)(f) of
rule
901:10-2-08
of the Administrative Code or in accordance with distribution and utilization
methods.
(C) At a minimum, manure
from each manure storage or treatment facility shall be analyzed annually for
the following: total nitrogen; ammonium nitrogen; organic nitrogen; phosphorus;
potassium; and per cent total solids.
(D) In addition to the minimum requirements
for annual manure analysis in paragraphs (A) to (C) of this rule, any manure
with wastes that are process waste water, shall be characterized annually by
the owner or operator by utilizing an actual sample from the facility,
provided, however that for a permit to install application as required by
paragraph (C) of rule
901:10-2-01
of the Administrative Code or for an operational change to be made to the
manure management plan in accordance with rule
901:10-1-09
of the Administrative Code, the owner or operator may utilize a sample from a
similar facility or by relying upon on existing published or documented
data.
(E) Results of analyses and
estimates conducted in paragraphs (A) to (D) of this rule shall be recorded in
the operating record and shall be submitted as part of the annual report to the
director required by rule
901:10-2-20 of the
Administrative Code. Results of the manure analysis conducted in paragraph (C)
of this rule shall be recorded in the operating record.
(F) After conducting manure analysis required
in paragraph (C) of this rule, the owner or operator may request approval from
the director for a major operational change to reduce the number of samples
needed to be representative of each manure storage and treatment facility and
to utilize composite sampling and analysis. The director may approve a request
provided all of the following apply:
(1) The
owner or operator submits a written request to the director along with copies
of manure analyses from manure storage or treatment facilities from the same
permitted facility;
(2) Manure
analyses for three consecutive years demonstrate that analytical results are
the same or similar for a twelve month period for each manure storage or
treatment facility at the permitted facility; and
(3) The owner or operator acknowledges that
the director may notify the owner or operator in writing that the owner or
operator shall comply with paragraph (C) if at any time the director or the
director's representative find that composite sampling is no longer
representative for reasons that include, but are not limited to:
(a) Changes in feed and feed
rations;
(b) Age, size, or type of
animals;
(c) Changes in clean out
times;
(d) Changes in building
design, such as changes in ventilation;
(e) Changes due to diseases and actions taken
to eliminate disease.
(G) The manure management plan shall contain
information on manure to allow the owner or operator or the person accepting
manure under rule
901:10-2-11
of the Administrative Code to plan for nutrient utilization.
