7.3.1.1. Where, as the result of a public health situation, a volume of inedible meat must be eliminated that exceeds the capacity of the operators of incinerators and dismembering plants and the salvagers referred to in the first paragraph of section 7.3.1, a farm producer who, because of that situation, cannot use the disposal methods set out in subparagraphs 1 to 3 of the first paragraph of that section may, subject to the authorization provided for in the fourth paragraph, within 48 hours of the death of an animal of the producer’s livestock, dispose of the inedible meat from the animal by sending it to an engineered landfill site governed by Division 2 of Chapter II of the Regulation respecting the landfilling and incineration of residual materials (chapter Q-2, r. 19) or delivering it to a person who removes waste for the sole purpose of sending it to such a site. This paragraph does not apply to inedible goat or sheep meat.

If the inedible meat is disposed of by burial in the producer’s agricultural operation in accordance with subparagraph 5 of the first paragraph of section 7.3.1, only the carcasses of animals that have died from natural causes or following an accident may be disposed of.

The holder of a permit to operate a slaughterhouse referred to in subparagraphs a and a.1 of the first paragraph of section 9 of the Act and a person exempted from holding a permit referred to in subparagraph a of the first paragraph of that section may also use an elimination method provided for in the first paragraph, on the conditions set out therein.

The Minister authorizes the disposal of inedible meat in an engineered landfill site when the conditions set out in the first paragraph are met.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, the operator of an engineered landfill site and a person who removes waste for the sole purpose of sending it to such a site are, respectively, exempted from holding the permit referred to in subparagraphs c and d of the first paragraph of section 9 of the Act. In addition, the requirement to install a sign set out in the first paragraph of section 7.1.5 and the requirement set out in the first paragraph of section 7.3.8 do not apply to the operator of a landfill site and to the truck bodies and trailers or containers used.

This section ceases to have effect on 1 November 2020.
