30. Storage directly on the ground of animal waste, farm compost or fertilizing waste substances in a crop field is prohibited
(1) less than 300 m from any groundwater catchment work intended to supply water for human consumption; and
(2) in a bacteriological protection area of a groundwater catchment site if the water is deemed to be vulnerable or the DRASTIC vulnerability index is equal to or greater than 100 over any portion of that area.
Storage in a cultivated field, directly on the ground, of sludge from municipal wastewater treatment works or from any other treatment or collection works of a sanitary wastewater system, or substances containing such sludge, is prohibited within the virological protection area of a groundwater catchment site if the water is deemed to be vulnerable or the DRASTIC vulnerability index is equal to or greater than 100 over any portion of that area. The storage prohibition does not apply to sludge or substances containing sludge certified to comply with the CAN/BNQ 0413-200 or CAN/BNQ 0413-400 standards.
