Phase 2 & 3 Management Area - Nitrogen Certification
/If nitrogen fertilizer is applied on your field in the Lower Elkhorn NRD Phase 2 or 3 areas, you are required to obtain or renew Nitrogen Certification every 4 years. This certification is required by Section 12 of the Lower Elkhorn NRD Rules and Regulations for the Management of Groundwater, and failure to obtain or maintain this certification results in a non-compliance status, with subsequent enforcement action by the District.
This certification is required for any farm operator in our Phase 2 and 3 area, even if a custom applicator applies the product to your fields. The management decisions about the amount, and timing, of nitrogen applications are yours, as is the need to comply with all management area requirements.
The LENRD will be holding a nitrogen certification class on February 5th at the LENRD office in Norfolk from 1-3 p.m. We also accept proof of certification from surrounding NRD’s. The list below shows the dates, locations, and times of our meetings as well as the surrounding NRD’s:
