Construction or expansion of buildings
 69.1 (1) No person shall construct or expand any building or structure that is used to house farm animals on an agricultural operation carried out on a farm unit, for which this Regulation requires a nutrient management strategy or nutrient management plan, unless it includes, as part of the farm unit a permanent nutrient storage facility, a temporary field nutrient storage site or a combination of such facilities and sites that is capable of containing at least all of the nutrients generated over a period of 240 days by the number of farm animals that the building or structure has the capacity to house. O. Reg. 447/03, s. 30. (2) If a person constructs or expands a building or structure that is used to house farm animals on an agricultural operation carried out on a farm unit that has a nutrient management strategy and if the strategy provides for the use or transfer of some or all of the nutrients generated by the number of farm animals that the building or structure has the capacity to house by a means that eliminates the need for storing the nutrients on the farm unit for 240 days, the storage capacity of the  facility, site or combination that subsection (1) requires for the building or structure must be at least equal to the storage capacity that the strategy requires. O. Reg. 447/03, s. 30. (3) If a person constructs or expands a building or structure that is used to house farm animals on an agricultural operation described in subsection (4), the storage capacity of the facility, site or combination that subsection (1) requires for the building or structure must be at least equal to the storage capacity that the nutrient management plan for the operation requires for the building or structure if, (a) the plan provides for the application to land, on a schedule of times that eliminates the need for storing nutrients on the farm unit for 240 days, of all of the nutrients generated by the number of animals that the building or structure has the capacity to house; and (b) the nutrient management strategy for the operation does not provide for their use or disposal. O. Reg. 447/03, s. 30. (4) Subsection (3) applies to a livestock operation that, (a) generates and uses only solid manure; or (b) generates liquid manure and has not increased the number of farm animals on the farm unit on which the operation is carried out since September 30, 2003. O. Reg. 447/03, s. 30. (5) If a person constructs or expands a building or structure that is used to house farm animals on an agricultural operation and sends some of the nutrients generated in the course of the operation to a broker, the person and the broker shall, between them, have an aggregate storage capacity of 240 days for all of the nutrients generated by the number of animals that the building or structure has the capacity to house. O. Reg. 447/03, s. 30. (6) If the period of use of a building or structure that is used to house farm animals is less than 240 days, the storage capacity of the facility, site or combination that subsection (1) requires for the building or structure must be adequate for the number of animals that the building or structure has the capacity to house for the period of confinement.
