Water Quality
Nutrient runoff – the primary concern is with Phosphorous
![Page 3: Randy Young, PE Executive Director](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051418/5681501b550346895dbe01ad/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Pros
Essential element for plant and animal life
Not considered a human health issue
Cons
Can accumulate in and degrade the quality of freshwater streams and lakes- Eutrophication

Commercial fertilizer- can be mixed to any ratio; but can be expensive.
Poultry Litter – excellent sources of the essential Nutrients and provides an organic material that acts as a soil amendment; but can not be used if soil test phosphorous is high.

Requiring Nutrient Management Plans
Requiring qualified personal to apply Nutrients
Development of a protective rate of application
Identifying areas of concern
Development of a Phosphorous Index (P-Index)

Developed By State Team
ANRC
NRCS
USDA
UA. Div. of Ag
ADEQBased on
Runoff Plot Research
RUSLE
Soil Characteristics
Historical runoff information
Professional judgment
(P Index = Source x Transport x Precipitation x BMP)

Evaluates P runoff risk
Greater values = greater risk
Establishes risk ranges
Permits “what if” Planning
provides management options
Makes planning a decision making process
Lets landowner adjust management.
