providers of technical assistance will provide guidance to farmers that ensure the farmer knows which records they need to keep and how to maintain those records. (10) References Element This element must document all technical sources important – to understanding the contents or implementation of the CNMP. This element should include reference sites where useful information pertinent to the CNMP can be obtained. To avoid unnecessary expansion of the CNMP document, planners must minimize inclusion of hard copies of supporting documentation. CNMP Format and Template The CNMP and PAD national templates provide a basic format and content framework that is consistent across all States. The national templates are the required format of a CNMP. States are permitted to make additions to meet State-specific code. The CNMP is an important part of the conservation system for the AFO. The CNMP documents the planning decisions and O&M activities for the AFO. In addition, the CNMP includes background information and guidance, and reference Web sites where up-to-date information can be obtained. The PAD is a subset of the CNMP and provides the information about day-to-day management activities and required recordkeeping. Electronic copies of both the CNMP and the PAD must remain in the possession of the producer/landowner to facilitate future revision(s). Planners must submit electronic files .AWM; .MMP; and .Doc (the State-adapted national template) to the reviewer. The CNMP elements are represented in the national template as sections. CNMP National Template At a minimum, the following sections and format will be required in the template: Cover and Signature Page: Name of owner/operator; Facility location (physical address) and mailing address; Latitude and longitude of the production area entrance; Type and size of the AFO; Plan period; and All required signatures for acceptance of a CNMP in the State. Section 1 Background and Site Information: – 1.1 General description of the operation; 1.2 Sampling, calibration, and other statements; and 1.3 Natural Resource Concerns. c) Section 2 Manure and Wastewater Handling and Storage: –
