accojrding to a letter mailed this
week from Mike Krempasky,
executive secretary of the state
Conservation Commission, to
advisory board members, the
staff expects to recommend only
two changes to the commission.”
According to letter, the first
change has been suggested by
DER Secretary Jim Seif. His sug

for voluntary nutrient management
plans, so as to encourage voluntary
planning.
The second recommendation
concerns the advisory board’s
recommendation for a definition
for “farming resources” that who
include those who board horses to
fall under the law.
