A Nutrient Management Plan (NMP) must include information regarding the disposal of mortalities. Rendering, incineration, burial, and composting are common disposal methods. Composting of mortalities is a viable option in Utah. To compost mortalities, a plan must be approved by the Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control.

To find out more information contact the Utah Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control.
