Central Platte NRD Board to Address Nitrogen Management Violations
Tricia Dudley, the Water Quality Specialist for the Central Platte Natural Resources District (CPNRD), will update the board on recent letters sent to producers who have violated the district's Nitrogen Management Program. These certified letters are part of CPNRD's Ground Water Quality Management Program and are sent to producers and landowners in Phases II or III who fail to comply with the NRD’s rules and regulations.
Violations occur when producers do not submit annual crop reports or fail to provide required water and soil samples. The board will discuss potential actions against these violators, including issuing cease and desist orders.
