Our Core Services

I provide planning and compliance support across Pennsylvania, specializing in the following plan types:

• CAFO Permits (PA DEP / NPDES)
  For operations meeting or exceeding CAFO thresholds, including full permit application and coordination with DEP and Conservation Districts.
• Nutrient Management Plans (NMP – Act 38)
  Required for larger farms or operations importing/exporting manure, including AEU calculations, crop rotation records, and phosphorus indexing.
• Odor Management Plans (OMP – Act 38)
  For new animal housing or manure storage projects, including OSI evaluation, BMP layouts, and SCC submission support.
• Manure Management Plans (MMP – Clean Streams Law)
  Required for all farms applying manure, regardless of size, covering storage, setbacks, recordkeeping, and field application mapping.
• Agricultural Erosion & Sediment Control Plans (Ag E&S – 25 Pa. Code §102.4)
  For tillage over 5,000 sq ft and all AHUAs, including erosion control BMPs, soil loss calculations, and implementation sequencing.

Not every project fits into a standard plan. In addition to CAFO, Nutrient Management, Odor, Manure, and Erosion & Sediment Control planning, I also provide:

• Compliance check-ups and second-opinion reviews
• Field mapping and recordkeeping support
• Conservation practice design (buffers, diversions, stabilization)
• Agency coordination and permitting assistance
• Custom solutions for multi-site or unique operations
