Direct flow application systems
 44. (1) No person shall apply GNF to land or permit the land application of GNF using a direct flow application system unless the system is operated in accordance with this section. (2) Two or more operators in voice or electronic contact with each other at all times during the land application may operate a direct flow application system if, (a) a first operator has a full view of the land to which the GNF is being applied; and (b) a second operator is close enough to the system to shut it down within one minute after being advised by the first operator of the occurrence of, (i) a problem event, or (ii) GNF not being applied in accordance with this Regulation or any applicable GNF plan. (3) One operator may operate a direct flow application system if the operator has a full view of the land to which the GNF is being applied and if, (a) the operator is close enough to the system to shut it down within one minute after observing that an event described in subclause (2) (b) (i) or (ii) has occurred; or (b) the application system is, (i) linked to a remote control system that allows the operator to shut down the application system within one minute after observing that an event described in subclause (2) (b) (i) or (ii) has occurred, and (ii) designed to shut down automatically within one minute after it ceases to receive a signal from the remote control system. (4) A direct flow application system may be operated without an operator if the system is designed to have the capability to, (a) detect problem events; (b) shut down automatically within one minute after detecting a problem event; (c) shut down automatically within one minute after ceasing to receive a signal from a remote control system that is designed to detect problem events; (d) remotely notify an operator whenever automatic shutdown takes place; and (e) when automatic shutdown takes place, remain shut down until restarted by an operator or by a person acting on the operator’s behalf. (5) An operator who is remotely notified of an automatic shutdown must, as soon as possible in the circumstances and in any event within 12 hours after being notified, (a) attend in person to examine the direct flow application system; or (b) ensure that another person attends to examine the direct flow application system on the operator’s behalf. (6) The operator or other person who examines the direct flow application system shall not restart the system unless he or she has assessed the event described in subclause (2) (b) (i) or (ii) and completed necessary repairs to the system to prevent a recurrence. (7) Each person who uses a direct flow application system shall ensure that the system is designed and operated so that when it is shut down no GNF continues to flow by siphoning or other means. (8) In this section, “problem event” means any of the following events: 1. GNF is not being delivered to the application part of the system as intended by the person in charge of the operation of the system. 2. The direct flow application system fails, resulting in GNF escaping into the natural environment otherwise than as intended by the person in charge of operating the system. part viI   storage, Siting and construction
