ONTARIO TO CONSULT ON NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT REGULATIONS
TORONTO - The Ernie Eves government is moving forward on its pledge to ensure clean, safe drinking water in the province by launching public consultations on regulations under the new Nutrient Management Act, Minister of Agriculture and Food Helen Johns and Minister of Environment and Energy Chris Stockwell announced today at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario's annual conference.
"We're committed to implementing regulations as quickly as possible that will protect our water and the environment as well as maintain the competitiveness of our agri-food industry," said Johns. "At the same time, we want to get them right, which means taking the time to obtain input from farmers, environmentalists, municipalities and others."
"Our government is committed to ensuring that Ontario has, and enforces, the best clean water policies in the world," said Stockwell. "We are committed to implementing all of Commissioner O'Connor's recommendations. The government's nutrient management strategy will form part of the water protection system envisioned by Commissioner O'Connor."
The Act, passed on June 27, 2002, enhances the protection of Ontario's water resources by minimizing the effects of agricultural practices on the environment, especially as they relate to land-applied materials containing nutrients. The protections outlined in the legislation are consistent with Commissioner Dennis O'Connor's recommendations in the Report of the Walkerton Inquiry Part Two.
Consultations will be held in at least three stages, with each stage involving the posting of draft regulations on the Environmental Bill of Rights information registry (http://www.ene.gov.on.ca/envision/env_reg/er/registry.htm ), as well as the Ministry of Agriculture and Food's and Ministry of Environment and Energy's Web sites (www.ene.gov.on.ca and www.gov.on.ca/omaf ).
Stage one will focus on:
a.. content requirements for nutrient management plans (NMPs), which set out the best ways to use nutrients in manure, commercial fertilizers and other nutrient-rich materials in order to maximize economic benefits while minimizing environmental effects.
b.. the categories of livestock operations that will be required to prepare these NMPs
A series of province-wide public consultation meetings will be led by Ministers Stockwell and Johns and government staff. The dates and locations of the meetings will be posted on both ministries' Web sites in the near future.
Stage two consultations will begin in October 2002, and will include other regulations that address the specifics contained in most municipal nutrient management plan by-laws. Stage three consultations will include regulations dealing with livestock access to waterways, manure haulage and transfer, and washwater and dead animal disposal.

MEDIA BACKGROUNDER
August 20, 2002
CONSULTATIONS ON DRAFT REGULATIONS UNDER NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT ACT
The Nutrient Management Act received Royal Assent in the Ontario Legislature on June 27, 2002. As part of the Ontario government's Clean Water Strategy, the Act provides for province-wide standards to address the effects of agricultural practices on the environment, especially as they relate to land-applied materials containing nutrients.
The Act addresses the issues and risks identified in the Environmental Commissioner's special report of July 2000, "The Protection of Ontario's Groundwater and Intensive Farming." It aligns with Commissioner Dennis O'Connor's Report of the Walkerton Inquiry Part Two and builds on the government's Smart Growth Strategy, which calls for well-planned and environmentally sensitive development.
The legislation represents a comprehensive, clear, province-wide approach that protects water, the environment and the well-being of communities in rural Ontario, while ensuring farmers can invest in and operate their farms with confidence. The need for this approach was confirmed by farmers, municipalities, environmental groups and others during consultations held by the Task Force on Intensive Agricultural Operations in Rural Ontario during early 2000
The government has pledged to move quickly to develop and implement regulations under the Nutrient Management Act.
Developing regulations
The government will use the O'Connor report and the results of further stakeholder consultations to develop regulations that incorporate standards and best practices to ensure both the best possible protection for the environment and the continued economic viability of farming in Ontario
Consultations will be held in at least three stages, with each stage involving the posting of draft regulations on the Environmental Bill of Rights information registry (http://www.ene.gov.on.ca/envision/env_reg/er/registry.htm), as well as the Ministry of Agriculture and Food's and Ministry of Environment and Energy's Web sites (www.ene.gov.on.ca and www.gov.on.ca/omaf ). These postings will be followed by public consultation meetings:
Stage one, beginning August 20, 2002, includes a draft regulation covering:
A. The content of nutrient management plans (NMPs), including farm identification and location; a farm map and site plan; details of the types of nutrients used on the farm; field by field information such as soil tests, nutrient allocations, and crop rotations; manure and biosolids applications; and contingency plans to address such things as spills and severe weather. B. The categories of agricultural operations that will be required to prepare these NMPs, and when. Categories would be based on nutrient units: The number of animals housed or pastured at one time that produce enough manure to fertilize one acre of crops under the most limiting of either nitrogen or phosphorus.
a.. Category IV livestock operations would have 300 nutrient units or more, meaning more than 150 dairy cows or 1,800 finishing pigs. This requirement for a nutrient management plan would apply to new or expanding operations in March 2003, and to existing operations in 2004.
b.. Category III livestock operations would have 150 to 300 nutrient units, or 75-150 dairy cows or 900-1,800 finishing pigs. The requirement for a nutrient management plan would apply to new or expanding operations in March 2003, and to existing operations in 2005.
c.. Category II livestock operations would have 30-150 nutrient units, or 15-75 dairy cows or 180-900 finishing pigs. The requirement for a nutrient management plan would apply to new and expanding operations in March 2003, to existing operations that generate liquid manure in 2005, and to other existing operations in 2008.
d.. Category I livestock operations would have less than 30 nutrient units, or fewer than 15 dairy cows or 180 finishing pigs. This requirement would apply to new or expanding operations in March, 2003, and to existing operations in 2008.
e.. All other agricultural operations, including non-livestock, would be required to submit nutrient management plans in 2008.
Locations and times of the public consultation meetings will be posted on the Ministry of Agriculture and Food and Ministry of Environment and Energy internet sites in the near future.
Stage two will include other regulations that address the specifics contained in most municipal Nutrient Management Plan by-laws. These include construction and siting of barns and manure storages; land application; biosecurity; local advisory committees; feedlot operations; the content requirements of nutrient management strategies for municipalities and other non-farm industries that apply nutrients to land; setback distances for applying nutrients around water ways and other sensitive features; restrictions for spreading nutrients on snow-covered or saturated land; MOEE's land application program review; MOEE's strategy for the five-year phase-out of the application of untreated septage.
Consultation meetings are expected to begin in October, 2002. These regulations are expected to be in force in March 2003.
Stage three will include regulations dealing with livestock access to waterways; manure haulage and transfer; and washwater and dead animal disposal.
As continuous improvements are made in nutrient management, with advances in technology and best practices, more regulations may be drafted and consultations held.
