Q-2, r. 26 - Agricultural Operations Regulation

Section 28.1 Disposition versions

2022-03-01

28.1. The operator of a raising site, other than a raising site with solid manure management whose annual phosphorus (P2O5) production is 1,600 kg or less, must give a written mandate to an agrologist to have the livestock waste produced on the site and spread on cultivated parcels characterized. The mandate must be given by the operator to the agrologist before 1 April of the year where characterization must be carried out in accordance with this Regulation.

Characterization consists in determining the annual volume of livestock waste produced and its fertilizing content so as to establish the raising site’s annual phosphorus (P2O5) production which must be taken into account to carry out the agro-environmental fertilization plan and any phosphorus report concerning that site.

For the purpose of determining the fertilizing content of animal waste, the operator must have the number of livestock waste samples determined by the agrologist analyzed by a laboratory accredited by the Minister under section 118.6 of the Act, with regard to the following parameters:

— total nitrogen;

— calcium;

— magnesium;

— dry matter;

— total phosphorus;

— potassium.

In addition, where for the purposes of the third paragraph of section 31, the agrologist who prepared the agro-environmental fertilization plan indicated therein that it is necessary, the analysis must also pertain to the following parameters:

— ammoniacal nitrogen;

— carbon/nitrogen ratio.

In order to complete characterization, the mandate given to the agrologist must also provide that the latter is to evaluate, using the method of his or her choice, the annual volume of animal waste produced on the raising site.

The operator must keep a copy of every laboratory’s certificate of analysis and of the characterization report made by the agrologist pursuant to his or her mandate for a minimum of 5 years from the date of signature and provide them to the Minister upon request within the time indicated by the Minister.
