Excess Animal waste and organics / Nutrients and salts are not a problem, excessive leaching of soluble components does not occur and/or harmful substances are used within state and local guidelines.
Nitrate in ground water
Nutrients and organics in ground water / Deep percolation of irrigation waters (including soluble nutrients) will be held to a minimum as documented in IWM. Nutrients will be added only as needed and at the proper time.
Pathogen(s) in ground water / No excessive deep percolation of water containing pathogens below the root zone.
Animal waste
Nitrate-N in surface water
Nutrients and organics in surface water / Levels permit the intended use of water.
Non-irrigated water management
Salt in surface water / Leaching of dissolved salt and salt removed with eroding soil particulates will be held to a minimum. Salt will not contaminate or limit intended use of receiving waters.
Pathogens in surface water / Runoff or leachate containing pathogens will not exceed levels specified by law.
Surface water total dissolved solids
Wildlife habitat suitability / A score of .40 of the wildlife habitat evaluation guide for an identified species.
Airborne odors / Solid and liquid waste will have limited contributions to objectionable airborne odors. Local standards and regulations must be met.
Threatened and endangered plants
Threatened and endangered species
Public health and safety
Absence and presence of cultural resources
