In the spring of 1993, the Pennsylvania state legislature passed and the governor signed the Nutrient Management Act into law. Before this legislation was passed, problems with nutrient pollution were handled primarily under the Clean Streams Law. This law basically states that if a farmer is following practices in the Department of Environmental Resources (DER) publication Manure Management for Environmental Protection, no special permits or approvals are required for manure utilization on farms. The Nutrient Management Act is the first law in Pennsylvania to directly affect nutrient application on farm fields. This article summarizes the main provisions of the Act.
