* Up to December 31, 2010 in unorganized territories in Northern Ontario, a NMS must be prepared prior to these construction projects and the farm operation registers with OMAFRA; approval is not required. Due to a recent regulatory amendment, after this date, approval of the NMS by OMAFRA will be required prior to commencing construction.
