Adm. Code 501.200, reported in pounds of elemental phosphorus per acre.  If the livestock waste is to be land applied based on a single-year or multi-year phosphorus application on the land application area, the following items must be provided: 1)         An estimate of the volume of livestock waste to be disposed of annually; 2)         The phosphorus content of the livestock waste; 3)         The phosphorus amount needed for each crop in the planned crop rotation, expressed as pounds of P 2 0 5 per acre, obtained from the Illinois Agronomy Handbook, 24 th Edition, incorporated by reference at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 501.200; and 4)         The maximum livestock waste application rate based on phosphorus for each field, determined under Section 502.625(g). n)         Calculations showing the following: 1)         An estimate of the volume of livestock waste to be disposed of annually; 2)         Nitrogen loss due to the method of storage, if applicable; 3)         Amount of nitrogen available for application; 4)         Nitrogen loss due to the method of application; 5)         Amount of plant-available nitrogen including mineralized first-year organic nitrogen; 6)         Amount of nitrogen required by each crop in each field based on realistic crop yield goal; 7)         Nitrogen credits from previous crops, from other sources of fertilizer applied for the growing season, and from any livestock waste applications during the previous three years for each field; 8)         Livestock waste application rate based on nitrogen for each field; and 9)         Land area required for application; o)         A listing of fields and the planned livestock waste application amounts for each field.
