Analyze soil at each application site for nitrogen content prior to the first application of any manure, litter, or process wastewater and then at least annually thereafter when used for application. Analyze soil at each application site for phosphorus content prior to the first application of any manure, litter, or process wastewater and then at least once every 5 years thereafter if used anytime in the 5 years for land application. The results of these analyses are to be used in determining application rates for manure, litter, and other process wastewater;005.04 Periodically inspect equipment used for land application of manure, litter, or process wastewater for leaks;005.05 Maintain setback distances during land application practices in compliance with Chapter 9; and005.06 Maintain the records onsite as specified in Chapter 12.130 Neb.
