Project Background
The purpose of the project is to further develop the recently completed NRCS tool (available at: naqsat.tamu.edu) that will aide NRCS staff in assisting producers with making decisions on where strategies to mitigate emissions of dust, odor, VOC, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide will have the greatest impact within a livestock operation. Additionally, the tool will be enhanced to identify existing EQIP practice standards that will address the areas of concern identified by the tool.
