- Reduction of non-point source pollution, such as nutrients, sediment,
pesticides, or excess salinity in impaired watersheds consistent with Total
Daily Maximum Loads (TMDLs), where available, as well as the reduction of
groundwater contamination.
- Promotion of conservation of ground and surface water resources.
- Reduction of
emissions, such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides (NOX), volatile organic
compounds, and ozone precursors and depleters that contribute to air quality
impairment violations of National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
- Reduction in soil erosion and sedimentation from unacceptable high levels on
agricultural land.
- Promotion of at-risk species habitat conservation.
- CNMP planning to assist the owners and operators of animal feeding operations
to address their conservation needs, with an emphasis on helping those owners
and operators who need to comply under the EPA’s Concentrated Animal Feeding
Operation rule.
- Reductions of nonpoint source pollution, such as nutrients, sediment,
pesticides, or excess salinity in impaired watersheds consistent with TMDLs
where available as well as the reduction of groundwater contamination and
reduction of point sources such as contamination from confined animal feeding
operations;
- Conservation of ground and surface water resources;
- Reduction of emissions, such as particulate matter, nitrogen oxides (NOx),
volatile organic compounds, and ozone precursors and depleters that contribute
to air quality impairment violations of National Ambient Air Quality Standards;
- Reduction in soil erosion and sedimentation from unacceptable levels on
agricultural land; and
- Promotion of at-risk species habitat conservation.

- Reduction in soil erosion and sedimentation from unacceptable levels on
agricultural land; and
- Promotion of at-risk species habitat conservation.
- Promote the restoration of declining or important native wildlife habitats.
- Protect, restore, develop or enhance wildlife habitat of at-risk species
(candidate species, and State and Federally listed threatened and endangered
species).
- Reduce the impacts of invasive species on wildlife habitats.
- Protect, restore, develop or enhance declining or important aquatic
wildlife species’ habitats.
