CURRENT STATE FUTURE STATE

• Increasing regulatory, judicial and societal pressures

• Surface and groundwater issues related to nitrogen and phosphorus

• Erosion in consumer confidence

• Farms help resolve societal issues related to water pollution and GHG emissions

• Farmers realize economic benefits from on-farm, voluntary actions

• Farmers improve their social license to operate and increase consumer trust

Early stage engagement.

Newtrient has

established relationships

with both the Dept. of

Ecology and Dept. of

Agriculture.

Initial steps to establish

Newtrient as an advisor

to California. The State is

searching for dairy

industry solutions that

comply with new GHG

requirements. Exploring

a paid advisory role to

CDFA and/or CARB.

Significant engagement with legislature, relevant agencies,

and potential demand-side customers.

Draft legislation submitted.

Extremely high engagement.

Newtrient received a $160k grant.

Receiving ongoing support from

both State and Federal officials and

agencies. Technical and policy

briefing meetings scheduled.

Excellent ongoing support from EPA officials.

Continued support form USDA/NRCS, who have

committed to $370k of discretionary funding.

Regular briefings of relevant Hill officials.

Significant engagement. Newtrient is actively

supporting the legislation that has been

submitted.

Where Do We Stand Today

• Manure application costs inexpensive

• Social pressure extremely high

• Nutrient recovery technologies– Commercially viable technologies available

– Capital and operational costs are high

– Nutrients do not go away, still require management

• Manure storage practices – Planning for nutrient recovery products

– Storage design standards may not apply to some products

• Resources and opportunities exist
