Nutrient Management
Act
Lambton
1) Whereas there
are a number of Ontario cattlemen required to do a 5 year renewal of
existing Nutrient Management Plans (NMP) in the winter of 2009/2010;
And
whereas lobbying the provincial government to reconsider the renewal
requirement under the Nutrient Management Act (NMA) has potential
unintended consequences;
And
whereas many Ontario Cattlemen are now more comfortable and experienced
with the NMA's regulations and protocols;
Therefore be it resolved that the Ontario Cattlemen's Association (OCA)
develop a pilot project with co-operation from the provincial government
to educate producers on how to become certified and develop their own
NMP to help offset the costs associated with the renewal process and
improve the industry's producer understanding of the NMA.
2) Be
it resolved that the OCA consult producers in regards to seeking a
preferred solution to the current 5 year renewal requirement within the
NMA. |
