Program: Final Ranking Score: Planner: Farm Location: National Priorities Addressed Issue Questions Responses 1. Will the treatment you intend to implement using EQIP result in considerable reductions of non-point source Yes o or No o pollution, such as nutrients, sediment, pesticides, excess salinity in impaired watersheds consistent with TMDL's where available as well as the reduction of groundwater contamination or point source such as contamination from confined animal feeding operations? 2. Will the treatment you intend to implement using EQIP result in the conservation of a considerable amount of Yes o or No o ground or surface water resources? 3. Will the treatment you intend to implement using EQIP result in a considerable 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? 4. Will the treatment you intend to implement using EQIP result in a considerable reduction in soil erosion and sedimentation from unacceptable levels on agricultural land? 5. Will the treatment you intend to implement using EQIP result in a considerable increase in the promotion of at-risk species habitat conservation? State Issues Addressed Issue Questions 1.
