A voluntary program to help livestock
farmers identify and adopt practices that protect the environment is
ready to get underway.
The Comprehensive Livestock Environmental Assessment and Nutrient
Management Plans, more commonly known as CLEANmp-East, is available to
farmers in 27 states in the eastern half of the U.S.
The sister program to CLEANmp-West, which was also announced recently,
CLEANmp-East provides livestock producers with confidential
environmental assessments of their operations, as well as customized
approaches and strategies to reduce air emissions and runoff.
Poultry and livestock operators interested in volunteering for this project can visit the CLEANmp-East website.
The Research Triangle Institute International and the North Carolina
State University, with grant funding from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, are coordinating the program.
