    B Farm Unit Declaration
     See the Nutrient Management Protocol, Part 15 for the Form    		 ____ attached
    C Description of Operation
     Describe the general operation for which the strategy / plan is being developed, as well as the size of the operation. If a new barn is involved the description should include details on the size, type of barn and associated manure storage.    		 ____ attached
    D Application Agreement
     An application agreement allows a farm to be brought into a farm unit. See the Nutrient Management Protocol, Part 15 for the Form.

    ____ attached
    ____ not applicable
    E Farm Unit Sketch
     Attach a sketch showing the location and boundaries of the farm unit. Include road names, municipal boundaries, neighbours and other local features.
    Show the location and dimensions of the farm livestock/ poultry buildings and nutrient storage facilities and the distance between these facilities and lot lines.
    Show the location of known used and unused wells, tile inlets and outlets, and surface water and other non-agricultural land uses within the farm unit and outside the farm unit within regulated distances as outlined in O. Reg 267/03.    		 ____ attached
    F MDS Information
    Include MDS calculations if a new or expanded livestock barn or manure storage is part of this strategy. This is not a required component of a Nutrient Management Plan or Strategy under O. Reg. 267/03 but may be required in some municipalities.    		 ____ attached
    ____ not applicable
    G Manure / Prescribed Material Storage and Volume
     Include information to show livestock numbers, manure / prescribed material storage size, days of storage and annual manure / prescribed material volume (ie MSTOR printout). For each storage facility include the dimensions, capacity and type (ie circular).    		 ____ attached
    H Manure / Prescribed Material Transfers
     A Nutrient Transfer Agreement or Broker Agreement accounts for nutrients transferred into or out of the Farm Unit as outlined in O. Reg. 267/03.     		____ attached
    ____ not applicable
    J Contingency Plan
     A contingency is an event (ie. an emergency) that may happen, but is not certain to occur. A contingency plan is a document that explains what would be done in the event that the NMS or NMP cannot be followed. For example, the storage capacity that the NMS has planned to be available, may get filled with a heavy rain event before the planned application of manure. The most traditional contingency event, that everyone must be prepared for is a spill (an unanticipated release of nutrients). Another contingency is that the field intended for application is unavailable.
    A contingency plan is prepared along with NMS or NMP so that it is ready to be implemented on short notice. Key people in every operation should be familiar with the contingency plan and how to implement it.    		 ____ attached
    L Feed Additive Documentation
     Include feed additive documentation for the manure / prescribed material where nitrogen and/or phosphorus are adjusted from conventional values.    		 ____ attached
    ____ not applicable
    M Manure Test Results
     Include analysis results from manure / prescribed material samples.     		____ attached
    ____ not applicable
