1. OBJECT AND SCOPE

The following provisions pertain only to odours caused by agricultural practices. The provisions do not operate to exempt agricultural operations from the requirement to respect the environmental standards contained in specific regulations of the Ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et des Parcs. Their purpose is to establish a procedure for determining separation distances conducive to facilitating a harmonious coexistence of uses in agricultural zones. The municipalities must apply the standards in the Guidelines within the framework of section 38 of the Act to amend the Act respecting the preservation of agricultural land and agricultural activities and other legislative provisions (2001, chapter 35) for the time indicated therein. In the same way, the municipalities must consider the Guidelines to the extent provided for in the Regulation respecting the implementation of the Act to amend the Act respecting the preservation of agricultural land and agricultural activities and other legislative provisions (chapter P-41.1, r. 4).
