<br />encompass areas not addressed in the site permit and NMP, or
<br />2. Changes to the agricultural operations at the application site, such as a change in crops or management
<br />practices, that will result in increased nutrient loading or application rates not addressed in the NMP. A revised
<br />NMP shall be submitted with the minor permit revision application.

<br />62-640.500 Nutrient Management Plan (NMP).
<br />(1) A site-specific NMP shall be submitted to the Department with the permit application for an agricultural
<br />site. For sites enrolled and participating in a Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS)
<br />Best Management Practices (BMP) program, a conservation plan or NMP prepared for the purposes of the BMP can
<br />be submitted as the site-specific NMP if the plan meets the NMP requirements given in subsections (4) through
<br />Q(8), below.
<br />(2) USDA-NRCS'Florida Field Office Technical Guide — Nutrient Management, Code 590, November
<br />20128epteffiber_0W, listed in paragraph 62-640.210(1)(m), F.A.C., is available to provide technical guidance in the
<br />preparation of NMPs from the Department of Environmental Protection, Domestic Wastewater Section, M.S. 3540,
<br />2600 Blair Stone Road; Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400 or any of the Department's District Offices.
<br />(3) The NMP shall be prepared and signed by a person certified by the NRCS for nutrient management planning
<br />or prepared, signed and; sealed by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Florida.
<br />(4) The NMP shall' identify each application zone to be used at the site as identified in the Biosolids Site Permit
<br />Application, Form 62-640.210(2)(d). Application zones shall be sized to facilitate accurate accounting of nutrient
<br />and pollutant loadings and shall be in accordance with Rule 62-640.700, F.A.C., as applicable for the class(es) of
<br />biosolids that will be applied to the site.
<br />(5) The NMP shall meet the requirements of this chapter and shall:
<br />(a) Include aerial site photograph(s)/imagery or site map(s), and a soil survey map of the site;
<br />(b) Include guidance for NMP implementation, site operation, maintenance, and recordkeeping;
<br />(c) Include a description of how the NMP complies with any applicable basin management action plans
<br />(BMAPs) adopted under Sections 403.067(7), and 373.807, F.S.
<br />(d)(e) Include results of soil, water, plant tissue, and biosolids analyses, as applicable. The soil fertility testing
<br />used to develop the NMP shall be less than one year old;
<br />Lem Specify Ider>t�y the frequency interval for soil fertility testing. The interval shall be at least once annually
<br />eveFy five years with eonsideFation fer fnere ffequent testing if iner-eas@s in soil phosphopas le,,,els are ;
<br />(f) Establish specific rates of application of biosolids based on nitrogen and phosphorus as well as procedures to
<br />land apply biosolids a4 all other nutrient sources to each application zone The NMP shall address application rates
<br />for the period covered by the effective and expiration dates of the biosolids site permit at a minimum The final rate
<br />of biosolids to be applied to an application zone shall be not exceed either of the nitrogen -based rate or the
<br />phosphorus -based rate (i.e the rate is limited to the more restrictive of the two nutrient -based rated unless the
<br />applicant can provide reasonable assurance that applying at a higher rate is protective of water quality. As part of
<br />establishing the nitrogen and phosphorus -based application rates, the NMP shall include the following items
<br />1. The NMP shall identify the recommended crop nutrient needs for nitrogen and phosphorus (i.e. crop nutrient
<br />demand) for the crops to be grown on each application zone based on IFAS recommendations or using the following
<br />values as a guide,
