Interim Delaware Nutrient Management Program State Technical Standards
The following Draft Delaware “State Technical Standards” are provided for review and comment. These technical standards were developed by a group of environmental scientist, agronomists, engineers, planners, agricultural operators, and policy makers from the Nutrient Management Commission, Department of Agriculture, the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, the University of Delaware, USDA NRCS and the private sector. We welcome all input. The State Technical Standards committee plans to finalize the standards by the Summer 2011. Check back to this site for updates to listed standards and to review additional standards.
