Where should applications for CEG be submitted?

Applications for the Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO) or Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO) Environmental Management Plans (CEG) are typically submitted to the local conservation district. Local conservation districts are the primary entities responsible for managing soil and water conservation within their regions, and they play a key role in nutrient management and regulatory compliance for agricultural operations. By submitting applications to the local conservation district, farmers and agricultural operators ensure that their plans are reviewed in the context of local environmental regulations and conservation goals. This process facilitates the collaboration between the agricultural community and local regulatory bodies to promote responsible nutrient management practices. The other options listed, while they serve important functions in agriculture and conservation, do not serve as the primary submission point for CEG applications.
