The Regulation requires that the design and construction of a new permanent nutrient storage facility, VFSS and mixed regulated AD facility or an expansion, or alteration of these facilities or parts thereof shall be carried out by or under the supervision of a professional engineer. The Engineer's Commitment Certificate, which is found at the Government of Ontario Central Forms site, will need to be completed for any new or expanding operations where the Regulation requires the oversight of an engineer.
There are several locations in the Regulation that rely on the dry matter content of manure. The dry matter content of manure can be establish through sampling, referring to Appendix 1 for average values or reference to the information that follows.
Average Dry Matter Values - To help determine whether manure has a dry matter content of (≥18 to <30%), (≥30 to <50%) or (≥50%), the following basic guidelines can be followed:
Manure Types with 50% or greater dry matter:
All poultry on litter, such as Broilers, Broiler Breeders, Layer Pullets, Turkeys
Manure Types with ≥30% to <50% dry matter that could realistically move to the≥50% category with additional bedding:
All horses
Manure Types with ≥30% to <50% dry matter:
Bedded Goats, Sheep, Rabbits
Manure Types with ≥18% to <30% dry matter that could realistically move to the ≥30% to <50% category with additional bedding:
Deep Bedded Hog Operations
Manure Types with ≥18% to <30% dry matter:
Bedded Beef Feeders
Manure Types with less than 18% dry matter that could realistically move to the ≥18% to <30% category with additional bedding or allowing liquid portion to be stored in liquid tank:
Bedded Hogs
