A planned system designed to manage liquid and/or solid waste from areas where livestock and poultry are concentrated.  This practice is designed to provide facilities for the storage and handling of livestock and poultry waste and the control of surface runoff to permit the recycling of animal waste onto the land in a way that will abate pollution that would otherwise result from existing livestock or poultry operations.
VA COST SHARE: The State Cost Share payment, alone or if combined with any other cost share payment, will not exceed 75% of the total eligible cost. The maximum state payment for this practice is not to exceed $100,000 per landowner per year.

VA TAX CREDIT: VA currently provides a tax credit for implementation of certain BMP practices.  The current tax credit rate, which is subject to change in accordance with the Code of Virginia, is 25% of the total eligible cost not to exceed $17,500.  
(If a participant receives cost share, only the participant's eligible out-of-pocket share of the project is used to determine the tax credit)
