Welcome to CNMP Watch

CNMP Watch is the complete Web source for manure and nutrient management planning information. It is designed to get you started and assist you with helping livestock producers prepare their nutrient management plans in the many forms they might take – whether that is a Manure Management Plan (MMP), an NMP for a federal CWA NPDES permit, or a USDA-NRCS Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan (CNMP). A livestock producer might want an nutrient management plan just to improve their water quality performance, or to qualify for funding assistance, or to meet a federal or state regulatory requirement. Some producers will want a nutrient management plan prepared to the NRCS CNMP standard since such a plan will meet federal CWA NPDES requirements. Whatever form of a nutrient management plan you need, this site can serve as a criticial source of federal and state-level information about nutrient management planning as it applies to livestock producers.
