Notes
1. The ammonia emission reduction effectiveness of each practice is rated numerically based on practical year-round implementation. Variations due to seasonal practices and expected weather conditions have been factored into these ratings. Not implementing a BMP when it is not practicable to do so does not reduce the point value assigned to the BMP, nor does it constitute failure to perform the BMP. UD indicaters that the practice is still under development.
2. Land application practices assume practice is conducted on all manure; points will be pro-rated to reflect actual waste treatment; points can be obtained on exported material with sufficient documentation.
3.

Method used by inspector to determine compliance:

1 = Observation by Inspector
2 = On-Site Recordkeeping Required
3, 4 = Deviation Reporting required. Equipment upsets and/or breakdowns shall be recorded in a deviation log and if repaired in a reasonable timeframe does not constitute non-compliance with this rule.
 
Within thirty (30) days receipt of this registration, the State of Idaho will conduct a qualifying inspection to ensure the requisite point total of BMPs are employed.
