Item 1

 
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:

 
Sec. 1. 7 MRSA §4201, sub-§6, as enacted by PL 1997, c. 642, §2, is
amended to read:

 
6. Regulated residual. "Regulated residual" means a residual
regulated by the Department of Environmental Protection pursuant
to Title 38, chapter 13, the use and storage of which has been
determined by the department to require a nutrient management
plan.

 
SUMMARY

 
Current law requires a farm that stores or utilizes by-
products of a nonagricultural production or treatment process
that are regulated by the Department of Environmental Protection
to file a nutrient management plan with the Commissioner of
Agriculture, Food and Rural Resources.

 
This bill requires a plan to be filed only if the Department
of Agriculture, Food and Rural Resources determines that the by-
product needs a nutrient management plan.
