Every operator of a raising site referred to in subparagraphs 1 and 3 of the second paragraph of section 22 must have a phosphorus report of the raising site drawn up yearly and signed by an agrologist, establishing the annual phosphorus production volume combined with any other fertilizer used, as well as the volume that may be spread in accordance with Schedule I on the lots available.

Every operator of a spreading site referred to in subparagraph 2 of the second paragraph of section 22 must have a phosphorus report of the spreading site drawn up yearly and signed by an agrologist, establishing the annual phosphorus volume received from all fertilizer as well as the volume that may be spread in accordance with Schedule I on the lots available.

The report must be updated upon any change in the raising or spreading site that may have an impact on data taken into consideration while the phosphorous report was being drawn up.

The operator must immediately notify in writing an agrologist of any change referred to in the preceding paragraph and give the agrologist the mandate to update within 30 days his or her phosphorus report to take that change into account. In addition, the operator must immediately inform in writing the director of the Centre de contrôle environnemental of the Ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et des Parcs in the region where the raising site or spreading site is situated, of the change where the operator no longer has cultivated parcels corresponding to the required area pursuant to section 20, 20.1 or 50.

The yearly phosphorus report and any update due to a change must be dated and signed by an agrologist. The operator’s signature on the report and each of its updates certifies that the information provided to the agrologist is accurate. They must be given on the form prescribed by the Minister, available on the website of the Ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et des Parcs.

The report and any update must contain the identity of the operator, a description of the raising site, specify the number of animals present and planned on the site, the categories provided for in Schedule VII to which the animals belong and, for the raising site and spreading site, a description of all fertilizers produced, where applicable, received or used, as well as all information on the fertilization and area of parcels available, treatment, transformation or disposal of any fertilizer.
