  10. House Bill 0215

  11. House Bill 0215 Original Version: • Introduced by Representative Jim Sacia • Amends the LMFA by reducing storage volume requirement for solid stacking areas from 6 months to 3 months.

  12. House Bill 0215 Amended Version: • Amends the LMFA storage volume requirements • Facilities < 300 animal units • Reduces solid storage volume requirement to not less than 2 months • Provided facility can demonstrate feasibility due to availability of land application areas

  13. House Bill 0215 Amended Version (cont.): • Reduces liquid/semi-solid storage requirements to not less than 60 days • Provided facility can demonstrate feasibility due to availability of land application areas

  14. House Bill 0215 • Targeted Focus • Small Dairy Producers • Northwestern Illinois • Overall storage volume relief for facilities in need of some additional waste storage

  15. House Bill 0215 • Current LMFA Requirements • All New livestock waste handling facilities that handle waste in a solid form must have a capacity of 6 months. • Facilities that store liquid or or semi-solid waste must have a capacity of 150 days.

  16. Targeted Crop Yield Goals 8 Illinois Administrative Code 900.807

  17. Targeted Crop Yield Goals • Currently, LMFA Waste Management plans are required to calculate targeted crop yield goals by using: • Proven Yields • Crop Insurance Yields • Farm Service Agency • If not available then use: • Soils based yield data from NRCS

  18. Concerns - Issues • Proven, crop insurance and FSA yields not always available • If not available, Soils based data from NRCS can be outdated and inaccurate • Doesn’t allow for proper manure application rates • Can I use Bulletin 810 or 811?

  19. What are Bulletins 810 and 811?

  20. Bulletins 810 and 811 • Bulletin 810 • 10 year crop yield estimates • Under an average level of management • In the 1990s, half of Illinois farmers obtained a lower crop yield and half obtained a higher crop yield than those established in bulletin 810

  21. Bulletins 810 and 811 • Bulletin 811 • Supplement to 810 • Crop yield estimates for all Illinois soils under an optimum level of management. • Represents crop yields achieved by the top 16% of farmers in Illinois in the 1990s.

  22. Possible Rule Changes • Change to allow use 810 or 811 would consist of a rulemaking change to 8 IAC 900 • Would not require change to Livestock Management Facilities Act

  23. Possible Rule Changes • Change would allow LFMA WMP and NRCS – CNMP guidelines to be consistent • Would allow manure application rates to be based on most current yield data when proven yields are not available.
