- Use neighboring or other available manure storage facilities
- Create in-field stacking in areas that pose the least environmental runoff risk
For manure storing guidelines, see Natural Resources Conservation Service’s “Conservation Practice Standard Waste Storage Facility, Code 313.”
Avoid field spreading manure

- Create in-field stacking in areas that pose the least environmental runoff risk
For manure storing guidelines, see Natural Resources Conservation Service’s “Conservation Practice Standard Waste Storage Facility, Code 313.”
Identify lower-risk fields for spreading or stacking manure:
- Apply to your driest fields
- Avoid sensitive areas of your fields. For information on what options you have, see the MPCA Manure Management Plan
- Use your Manure Management Plan or Nutrient Management Plan to find fields with:
- low slope
- low erosion, and
- low delivery potential (low P-Index)
- Apply to flatter fields without channelized flow, gullies
- Apply to fields farthest from surface water, conduits to groundwater, and areas of concentrated flow
- Apply to fields that do not drain to Outstanding, Exceptional, or nutrient impaired water bodies
If field spreading of manure is necessary

The MPCA Manure Management Plan restrictions:
- No nutrient spreading in the winter within 300 feet of lakes, streams, intermittent streams, public waters wetlands, drainage ditches without berms, and open tile intakes.
- Do not spread during snowmelt that creates runoff or when rainfall over ¼ inch is expected within 24 hours.
- Only spread liquid manure to slopes less than 2 percent and solid manure to slopes less than 6 percent.
- Only spread manure where tillage is on the contour (if slopes are greater than 2 percent).
- Make sure to apply liquids at rates that prevent runoff during the application process.
- Find alternative fields or management where MPCA determines that water will be polluted if you do spread.
In winter, follow these additional restrictions, from MPCA Manure Management Plan
