LB1028

Nebraska LB1028 amends livestock waste management regulations to require nutrient management plans and specific practices for livestock waste.

Nebraska LB1028 amends the Livestock Waste Management Act to establish requirements for nutrient management plans and the application of livestock waste or litter. The bill mandates that entities implementing these plans use regenerative agricultural practices, such as minimizing tillage and integrating livestock grazing systems. It also requires a thirty-foot perennial-grass buffer adjacent to running waterways and mandates the planting of cover crops following waste application. The plans and supporting documentation must be made publicly available on the department's website.
