28.1. The operator of a raising site, other than a raising site with solid manure management whose annual phosphorus (P2O5) production is 1,600 kg or less, must give a written mandate to an agrologist to have the livestock waste produced on the site and spread on cultivated parcels characterized. The mandate must be given by the operator to the agrologist before 1 April of the year where characterization must be carried out in accordance with this Regulation.
Characterization consists in determining the annual volume of livestock waste produced and its fertilizing content so as to establish the raising site’s annual phosphorus (P2O5) production which must be taken into account to carry out the agro-environmental fertilization plan and any phosphorus report concerning that site.
For the purpose of determining the fertilizing content of animal waste, the operator must have the number of livestock waste samples determined by the agrologist analyzed by a laboratory accredited by the Minister under section 118.6 of the Act, with regard to the following parameters:
— total nitrogen;
— calcium;
— magnesium;
— dry matter;
— total phosphorus;
— potassium.
In addition, where for the purposes of the third paragraph of section 31, the agrologist who prepared the agro-environmental fertilization plan indicated therein that it is necessary, the analysis must also pertain to the following parameters:
— ammoniacal nitrogen;
— carbon/nitrogen ratio.
In order to complete characterization, the mandate given to the agrologist must also provide that the latter is to evaluate, using the method of his or her choice, the annual volume of animal waste produced on the raising site.
The operator must keep a copy of every laboratory’s certificate of analysis and of the characterization report made by the agrologist pursuant to his or her mandate for a minimum of 5 years from the date of signature and provide them to the Minister upon request within the time indicated by the Minister.

— 1 January 2014 for operators of a raising site with solid manure management having an annual phosphorus (P2O5) production of more than 1,600 kg without exceeding 3,200 kg. (O.C. 606-2010, s. 41)
28.2. The annual phosphorus (P2O5) production of a raising site referred to in section 28.1 may, despite that section, be determined in accordance with section 50.01 by using the data of Schedule VI instead of the data in Schedule VII referred to in the first paragraph of that section.
In such a case, an operator referred to in section 28.1 and availing himself or herself of this section must so notify an agrologist in writing and give the agrologist a written mandate to establish, in the manner provided for in the first paragraph, the annual phosphorus (P2O5) production of the operator’s raising site.
The annual phosphorus (P2O5) production so established must be used to carry out the agro-environmental fertilization plan and any phosphorus report concerning the raising site and will be taken into account throughout the year for which the annual production was established. The annual phosphorus (P2O5) production will also be taken into account for subsequent years unless the operator notifies the agrologist in writing of the his or her decision to be subject to section 28.1 and gives the agrologist a mandate to characterize the animal waste produced by the operator’s raising site in accordance with that section. The operator is then deemed to be a new operator with respect to compulsory consecutive characterization that must be carried out for the first 2 years of existence of a raising site, in accordance with the third paragraph of section 28.3. In such a case, the operator may not avail himself or herself of this section again before the expiry of the 5-year period provided for in section 28.3.
The operator must keep a copy of the annual phosphorus (P2O5) production as calculated by the agrologist pursuant to his or her mandate and of any notice provided for in this section for a minimum of 5 years from the date of signature and provide them to the Minister upon request within the time indicated by the Minister.
This section comes into force on:

The annual phosphorus (P2O5) production calculated using the method referred to in this section is established in an annual report, dated and signed by the agrologist, which the operator must obtain not later than 1 April following the period covered by the data collection, and which must contain the following information:
(1)  the period covered by the use of a nutrient balance method;
(2)  the quantity of each type of food and ingredient used for each type of animal referred to in the nutrient balance method during the period covered by the annual report;
(3)  the total phosphorus content of each lot of food or ingredients received or produced and supplied to each type of animal during the period covered by the annual report; that content must be established by a laboratory, or have been established by the manufacturer or supplier of the food or ingredients;
(4)  for the period covered by the annual report, the number and average weight of all animals, according to type, that entered, left, died and were in inventory, the average weight gain of animals and, where applicable, the number of eggs produced and their average weight;
(5)  an estimate of the phosphorus (P2O5) content of animal waste produced for each type of animal covered by the annual report.
Despite the fourth paragraph of section 28.3, where the method referred to in the first paragraph is used, the time elapsed between 2 non-consecutive characterizations for the animals referred to in the annual report may not exceed 10 years. In such a case, despite the sixth paragraph of section 28.1, the documents referred to in that paragraph must be kept for a minimum of 10 years from the date of signature.
The annual report and the data used to prepare it must be kept by the operator for a minimum of 5 years from the date of signature of the report. They must be provided to the Minister upon request within the time indicated by the Minister.

35. 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.

35.1. As of 1 January 2011, every operator of a raising site or spreading site referred to in section 35 must send the yearly phosphorus report to the Minister not later than 15 May of each year.
Where, after a change in the raising site or spreading site, the operator no longer has cultivated parcels corresponding to the area required pursuant to section 20, 20.1 or 50, the operator must immediately send to the Minister the update of the phosphorus report made in accordance with section 35.
The transmission to the Minister must be done electronically using the electronic services, by an agrologist mandated for that purpose by the operator.
When the yearly phosphorus report or update is sent electronically, the agrologist certifies that
(1)  the report or update was established in accordance with section 35;
(2)  the operator’s signature on the report or update certifies that the information provided to the agrologist is accurate.
Once the yearly phosphorus report or update has been sent to the Minister, the Minister acknowledges its receipt and admissibility by email to the agrologist and, where applicable, to the operator if the document sent indicates the operator’s email address. The agrologist must ensure that the confirmation of receipt and admissibility of the yearly phosphorus report or update sent to the Minister is held by the operator.
O.C. 269-2012, s. 2.
35.2. The operator must keep a copy of the yearly phosphorus report and, as the case may be, of each subsequent update for a minimum of 5 years from the date of signature by the agrologist.
The operator must also keep for a minimum of 5 years
(1)  a copy of the notice given to the agrologist pursuant to the fourth paragraph of section 35, as of the date on which the notice is sent;
(2)  a copy of any document confirming the receipt and admissibility of the yearly phosphorus report or update sent to the Minister, as of the date on which it was received in accordance with the fourth paragraph of section 35.1.
The operator must provide a copy on request to the Minister within the time indicated by the Minister.

NOTES
(1) This Schedule is used to calculate the minimum area required to comply with section 20 or 20.1 of the Regulation. The minimum area required corresponds to the areas necessary to dispose of the phosphorus (P2O5) load from the raising site, from which the phosphorus (P2O5) load, if any, treated or eliminated in accordance with section 19 has been subtracted. The load of any other fertilizer used in conjunction with livestock waste on cultivated parcels must be considered in the calculation of the minimum area in accordance with the conditions of this Schedule.
(2) This Schedule refers to a total maximum deposit of phosphorus (P2O5) and not to a deposit of available phosphorus (P2O5). The deposit of phosphorus (P2O5) is based on the type of crops, crop yield, richness of the soil and phosphorus saturation rate of the parcel in question.
(3) The values of maximum deposits are not fertilization recommendations. An agrologist may, in an agro-environmental fertilization plan, recommend fertilization for a given parcel greater than the value appearing in this Schedule.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the total deposit recommended by an agrologist for all parcels and the years referred to in the agro-environmental fertilization plan is greater than the deposit calculated by using this Schedule, the agrologist preparing the plan will have to specify in the plan the agrological and environmental reasons justifying the excess and inform the director of the Direction de l’analyse et de l’expertise in the region where the raising site or spreading site is situated thereof in writing.
The agrologist must, through fertilization recommendations, ensure that the level of soil phosphorus saturation (P/Al) is lowered to a value less than 7.6% for soil with a clay content greater than 30% and to 13.1% for soil with a clay content equal to or less than 30% and that it is maintained below that value.
(4) The deposit calculated using this Schedule is the sum of the deposits of phosphorus (P2O5) that may be spread on each of the parcels referred to in the agro-environmental plan. The deposit of phosphorus (P2O5) that may be spread on a parcel is obtained by multiplying the number of hectares of the parcel by the value indicated in this Schedule for the parcel in question.
(5) In the absence of analysis of the soil specifying the richness of the soil and the phosphorus saturation rate of a parcel, it is possible to use the average value of the analyses of neighbouring parcels. If no analysis is available, the deposit value that must be retained is the value corresponding to a soil richness of 501 and more.
(6) The crop yield for a given parcel is determined from the actual yields of the last 5 years in the following manner:
— for an agricultural operation where a crop is insured by an individual crop insurance program of La Financière agricole du Québec, the crop yield for the agricultural operation shall be used;
— for an agricultural operation where a crop is insured by a collective crop insurance program of La Financière agricole du Québec, the average value of the zone of the agricultural area shall be used; and
— for an agricultural operation where a crop is not insured by La Financière agricole du Québec, the operation’s crop yield measured according to a method recognized by La Financière agricole du Québec or the average value for the zone of agricultural area determined under the collective crop insurance program shall be used.
(7) For an agricultural operation that operates parcels referred to in an agro-environmental fertilization plan with types of crops that are not referred to in the chart, the maximum deposits of phosphorus (P2O5) on those parcels in particular shall be set by the agrologist preparing the plan. The agrologist shall also specify in the plan the reasons justifying the values of the recommended maximum deposits.
