Regulation

Saskatchewan provides environmental regulations and policies, as well as a common environmental approach in the development of agri-business.

		Earthen Manure Storages And Holding Ponds: As-Constructed Reporting Requirements An as-constructed report provides details of construction to ensure that any deviation from the approved plan does not compromise the environmental integrity of the project.

		Intensive Livestock Operations (ILO) Review and Approval Process Protection of groundwater and surface water resources through approved manure storage and management plans.

		Manure Spills Even the best maintained equipment can and does fail, resulting in manure possibly being placed in an inappropriate location.

		Surface Water Quality Monitoring Report for Intensive Livestock Operations Summarizes data collected by Agricultural Operations as part of its Intensive Livestock Operation (ILO) water quality monitoring program.

		The Regulation of Intensive Livestock Operations in Saskatchewan Legislation protecting Saskatchewan's water resources by requiring proper storage and management of livestock wastes was first created in 1971. The current legislation, The Agricultural Operations Act was established in 1996 to provide a regulatory framework to address complaints of agricultural nuisances, and to enhance legislation governing intensive livestock.

An intensive livestock operation is defined in provincial legislation as the confining of one animal unit to less than 370 square metres (4,000 square feet).
