1.3 Resource Concerns If checked, the indicated resource concerns have been identified and have been addressed in this plan. Soil Quality Concerns Fields Ephemeral Gully Erosion Gully Erosion Sheet and Rill Erosion Stream/Ditchbank Erosion Wind Erosion Water Quality Concerns Fields Facility Wastewater Runoff Manure Runoff (From Facilities) Manure Runoff (From Application) Nutrients in Groundwater Nutrients in Surface Water Silage Leachate High Soil Test Phosphorus Tile-Drained Fields Concerns Addressed Fields Acres Available for Manure Application Aesthetics Maximize Nutrient Utilization Minimize Nutrient Costs Neighbor Relations Profitability Regulations Soil Compaction Time Available for Manure Application Odors Air Quality Biosecurity Sensitive Features and Areas Your fields may contain sensitive features and/or areas requiring special management to keep fertilizer or manure in the zone of application. These often natural features increase the potential for pathogenic organisms or applied nitrogen and phosphorus to move towards ground water or surface waters. Elevated levels of nitrogen in drinking water can be dangerous to babies and young livestock. Scientific trials show direct relationships between soluble algal available phosphorus in runoff and soil test phosphorus (STP) levels. Potential to accelerate algae growth increases as STP levels increase if a field’s runoff reaches surface waters.
