Owner / Manager Agreement
I (we) verify that all the above information is correct and will be updated upon changing. I (we) understand the operation
and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste management plan for the farm named above and will
implement these procedures. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and
storage system or construction of new facilities will require a permit application and a new certification to be submitted to
the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) and permit approval received before the new animals are stocked. I (we) understand
that there must be no discharge of animal waste from the storage system to surface waters of the state unless specifically
allowed under a permit from DWQ and there must not be run-off from the application of animal waste. I (we) understand
that run-off of pollutants from lounging and heavy use areas must be minimized using technical standards developed by the
USDA -Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The approved plan will be filed at the farm and at the DWQ
Regional Office and the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD). I (we) know that any
modification must be approved by a technical specialist and submitted to the DWQ Regional Office and local SWCD and
required approvals received from DWQ prior to implementation. A change in farm ownership requires a permit application
to be sent to DWQ along with a new certification (if the approved plan is changed).
