Asif A. Maan, PhD Environmental Program Manager II California Department of Food and Agriculture

 Scientific evidence to show groundwater contamination from nitrogen fertilizer  Central Valley = sandy soils = Nitrate movement to water  Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board regulations on nitrogen movement to groundwater  CDFA is aware of the regulations and working with coalition groups to find solutions

East San Joaquin Water Quality Coalition working to develop nutrient management plans (NMPs) for implementation by its member growers 2,500 tree crop growers: 200+ crops NMPs being developed in coordination with CDFA and the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board Bottom-up approach supported by CDFA Need resources for implementing NMPs? Who is going to discuss the NMP with growers and make best management practice recommendations?

CA Certified Crop Advisors (CA-CCAs) CCAs have been identified as a good resource to help growers implement NMPs Already certified through the CA CCA program and American Society of Agronomy in general agronomic practices Qualified to make nutrient recommendations However….additional training specific to coalition NMPs by region would be useful CDFA will offer an additional special training certification to CCAs on NMPs

FREP was established in 1990 when California Food and Agricultural Code Section 14611(b) authorized a mill assessment on the sale of fertilizing materials “to provide funding for research and education regarding the use and handling of fertilizing material, including, but not limited to, any environmental effects.” CROP MANAGEMENT CALIFORNIA CCA PROGRAM AMERICAN SOCIETY OF AGRONOMY CCA CERTIFICATION NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN CDFA FREP NMP EDUCATION/TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION

Will not duplicate the CA-CCA and American Society of Agronomy certification program Fertilizer Research and Education Program (FREP) will: Coordinate with the regional water boards, CA-CCA, and coalitions to determine training and education requirements Provide training and education to CCAs on NMPs developed by coalitions throughout CA Certify CCAs who have successfully completed FREP NMPs training and education program

Presented the concept to Central Valley Regional Water Board staff, and CA-CCA Board of Directors…they are supportive of this plan CA-CCA established a subcommittee to work with CDFA on this project Has been accepted by the Fertilizer Inspection Advisory Board, and approved by Secretary Ross Details need to be worked out
