OMAFRA - NASM Plans

Have Regard to

Prescribed Instruments

Future

Implemented

The requirements and standards of the Nutrient Management Act, 2002 and Nutrient Management Regulation are adequate in most cases to manage moderate and low threat activities when followed in a NMS, NMP, or NASM plan. This position is based on the fact that the Regulation contains extensive land application standards and siting and construction requirements. However, consideration for conditions to address moderate or low threat activities will still be given for complex or unique scenarios in NMS or NASM plans.
