Melissa,
They have applied for NRCS funding to assist with the potential to move to a 100% confined animal dairy to eliminate milking
cows crossing the creek to come to the milking parlor. The main reason being to eliminate the potential point source pollution
from cattle traffic.
NRCS engineer and NRCS Team 4 personnel have begun trying to come up with a design to house all of the milking cows and
handle/modify the waste storage facilities to accommodate 100% confinement. NRCS does not normally "cost -share" on animal
housing, but per our EQIP program policy an applicant can request a waiver from the State Conservationist to obtain cost share
funds to assist in animal housing as a component of a waste storage facility. NRCS Team 4 staff is working with Cliff and the
dairy on a proposal to submit to the State Conservationist to consider a waiver.
That is all the information I have for you at this time, but I did want you to know that Cliff does have an EQIP application and we
are working with them.
Thanks,
Lee

Subject: Cliff Hutchison -New Barn?
Hi All,
As you know, we assessed a penalty of approx. $4306 to Mr. Hutchison in April this year for the waste discharge last December.
He has requested that we remit (do -away with) the penalty since he says he needs the money to build a new barn for 100%. His
letter, attached, states that he is working with NRCS to build a new barn and that he "is responsible for a portion." Is this
correct? I was under the impression that this project was not eligible for any monies.
Anyways, could you update me on the status, from your perspective? There is a hearing on his request next Wednesday.
Thanks so much,
Melissa
