Summary
Nutrient Offset Fund. Establishes as a priority for funding from the Nutrient Offset Fund those nutrient offsets that are produced from facilities that generate electrical or heat energy, steam, or hot water using animal waste as a fuel source. The initial priority for funding will be the oxygen-starved gasification of up to 75,000 tons of animal waste per year that has been generated on poultry or dairy farms in Augusta, Page, Rockingham, and Shenandoah Counties. The nutrient offsets purchased with moneys from the Fund will be available for sale to owners or operators of new or expanded facilities required to offset nutrient loads through the watershed general permit. The bill requires the Department of Environmental Quality and the Department of Conservation and Recreation to conduct a 12-month assessment of the success of the operation of the first gasification facility to receive initial priority.
