Agronomy Facts 40: Nutrient Management Legislation in Pennsylvania: A Summary of the New Regulations, 2006
This eight-page fact sheet highlights the main points of Pennsylvania's Nutrient Management Act, which took effect on October 1, 1997. In 2002, the State Conservation Commission was required by law to review the Act 6 regulations. This extensive review along with a concurrent policy initiative known as Agriculture, Communities, and Rural Environment (ACRE) resulted in a new law (Act 38), which replaced Act 6, and in revised regulations that went into effect October 2006. The Clean Streams Law requirements still apply to all farms using manure. This fact sheet summarizes the nutrient management provisions of Act 38 and the 2006 revised regulations associated with this law.

Agronomy Facts 54: Pennsylvania’s Nutrient Management Act: Who Is Affected?
In the spring of 1993, the Pennsylvania legislature passed the Nutrient Management Act, the first law in Pennsylvania that requires regulatory oversight of nutrient plants on certain farms. The law took effect on October 1, 1997. In 2002 the State Conservation Commission began an effort to revise these regulations. In summer 2005, the Pennsylvania legislature replaced Act 6 with Act 38 as part of the Agriculture, Communities, and Rural Environment (ACRE) initiative.
