Alternative Manure Management Program (AMMP)
*NEW* TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDERS FOR ALTERNATIVE MANURE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM – APPLICATIONS DUE AUGUST 16, 2017
Non-profit organizations, CA Resource Conservation Districts and CA academic institutions are invited to apply for funding to provide technical assistance to potential applicants with their Alternative Manure Management Program (AMMP) applications. Please refer to the AMMP Technical Assistance Workshops Grants Request for Applications below for details. Applications should be submitted to cdfa.oefi@cdfa.ca.gov no later than 5:00 p.m. PDT on August 16, 2017.
Technical assistance will be made available through a $100,000 partnership grant between CDFA and the Strategic Growth Council to achieve the mutual objective of providing technical assistance to AMMP applicants.
CDFA was appropriated $50 million in FY 2016-17 to provide financial assistance to reduce early and extra methane emissions from dairy and livestock operations. CDFA has allocated approximately $9-16 million of these funds to develop and administer a new program on Alternative Manure Management with the objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from non-digester manure management practices.
CDFA accepted public comments on the draft Request for Grant Applications for AMMP between July 20, 2017 and August 2, 2017. Comment letters are available here.
Public comments on AMMP framework received between April 17, 2017 and April 28, 2017 are available here.
