CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORIZATION
2. Required certificate of authorization: No person shall construct or undertake to operate a new livestock operation, expand, change types of livestock or increase the number of animal units, or install or modify a manure storage site without having obtained a certificate of authorization for that purpose from the Minister.
R.R.Q., 1981, c. Q-2, r. 18, s. 2; O.C. 1536-84, s. 2; S.Q., 1988, c. 49, s. 54.

R.R.Q., 1981, c. Q-2, r. 18, s. 3; S.Q., 1988, c. 49, s. 54.
4. Strict obligation: Any new livestock operation, extension, change in the type of livestock, increase in the number of animal units, or construction or modification of a manure storage site must comply with the data and information provided for the purpose of obtaining a certificate of authorization, with the provisions of any certificate of authorization and with this Regulation.
R.R.Q., 1981, c. Q-2, r. 18, s. 4.
5. Change: Before being implemented, any change in the date or information submitted for the purpose of obtaining a certificate of authorization must be the subject of a new application for a certificate of authorization.
R.R.Q., 1981, c. Q-2, r. 18, s. 5.
6. Tenor: Any certificate of authorization must show the name of the person on whose behalf it is issued, its date of issue, the date on which the application for authorization is made, the location and the technical characteristics of the project.
The certificate of authorization must also include, at the end, the following note:
«The above project may be undertaken under this certificate of authorization provided that the project complies with the above data and information. However, it becomes void if the project authorized is not undertaken within 18 months of the date on which this certificate of authorization is issued.»
R.R.Q., 1981, c. Q-2, r. 18, s. 6.
7. Validity: A certificate of authorization becomes void if the project authorized is not undertaken within 18 months of the date on which it is issued.

R.R.Q., 1981, c. Q-2, r. 18, s. 7.
8. Exception: However, the second paragraph of section 6 and section 7 do not apply to certificates of authorization that pertain to the construction or modification of a manure storage site only.
R.R.Q., 1981, c. Q-2, r. 18, s. 8.
9.

DIVISION III
SITING STANDARDS
10. Limited activities: Where, in a municipality listed in Schedule G or H, or in a municipality where the areas necessary for spreading the manures produced there are insufficient considering the ratios mentioned in Schedule F, a project intended
- to undertake to operate a liquid manure livestock operation,
- to expand such an operation,
- to increase the number of animal units forming part of livestock on liquid manure, or
- to change the type of livestock by replacing it with livestock on liquid manure,
has been the subject of a certificate of authorization granted after 27 June 1996, all the liquid manures resulting from the installations or activities thus authorized, as well as, where applicable, all the other liquid manures resulting from the operation to which the above-mentioned certificate pertains and already operated by the person to whom that certificate was issued, shall be disposed of or treated by one of the following methods:
(a) the manure is spread on land owned by the person to whom the above-mentioned certificate of authorization was issued;
(b) a manure management organization approved by the Minister takes charge of the manure; or
(c) the manure is treated as authorized by the Minister under section 22 or 32 of the Act.
The first paragraph does not apply where the person responsible for a livestock operation confines himself to regrouping in the same livestock operation, without increasing the number of animal units, livestock he already raises in other livestock operations within the limits of the same local municipality, provided he ceases to use the latter for raising livestock.

(a) for a liquid manure livestock operation, less than 300 metres from a well or spring used to supply a waterworks system, or from a water bottling plant, and less than 100 metres from the ordinary high water mark without flooding of a protected watercourse;
(b) for livestock on solid manure: less than 100 metres from the reference points specified in paragraph a;
(c) at a shorter distance than that prescribed in Schedule D, between the new livestock operation or new manure storage site and a water site not specified in paragraph a;
(d) in a flood plain subject to floods at least once every 20 years.
R.R.Q., 1981, c. Q-2, r. 18, s. 11; O.C. 1536-84, s. 5.
12. Existing operations: Any extension, any change in the type of livestock increase in the number of animal units, any construction or modification of a manure storage site pertaining to an existing livestock operation that does not comply with the sitting standards prescribed in section 11 must be carried out:
(a) more than 75 metres from the reference points specified in paragraph a of section 11, for a liquid manure livestock operation;
(b) more than 30 metres from the reference points specified in paragraph a of section 11, for livestock on solid manure;
(c) at a distance greater than that prescribed in Schedule D between the livestock operation or manure storage site and any water site.
Furthermore, any extension, or any construction or modification of a manure storage site pertaining to an existing operation must be carried out at a distance from the reference points specified in paragraphs a and c of section 11 or beside the livestock operation that is farthest away from those reference points, unless a topographical accident prevents it from doing so, or where these projects comply with the standards prescribed in those paragraphs.
Unless siting standards in section 11 are complied with, no existing livestock operation shall change the type of livestock of a category listed in the table in Schedule A for a type of livestock of a category listed higher in the table if a manure operation is changed from solid manure to liquid manure or to a yard operation, except where the person responsible for the livestock operation making the change owns another livestock operation located less than 150 metres away and housing the desired livestock.
In a livestock operation that does not comply with the siting standards prescribed in the first paragraph one may, however, construct or modify a manure storage site at a distance shorter than the standards prescribed in that paragraph provided that the site is no nearer to the reference points specified in that paragraph than the existing manure pile.
R.R.Q., 1981, c. Q-2, r. 18, s. 12; O.C. 1536-84, s. 6.
13. Exceptions: For the purposes of applying the siting standards prescribed in sections 11 and 12, a change in the type of livestock, an extension or an increase in the number of animal units must be considered as a new livestock operation wherever the total number of animal units exceed the maximum number prescribed in Schedule A.
The siting standards prescribed in this Division do not apply to a change in the type of livestock of a category listed in the table in Schedule A by a livestock operation of a category listed lower in the table.
R.R.Q., 1981, c. Q-2, r. 18, s. 13; O.C. 1536-84, s. 7.
14. Shortest distances: The siting standards prescribed in sections 11 and 12 are measured by using the shortest distance between the reference point and the building or yard of the livestock operation or manure storage site. These measurements are based on the part of the building or yard which is actually used for keeping livestock.
R.R.Q., 1981, c. Q-2, r. 18, s. 14.
15. Extension: For an extension, the siting standards prescribed in sections 11 and 12 are measured by using the shortest distance starting from the extension itself.
R.R.Q., 1981, c. Q-2, r. 18, s. 15.
16. Rebuilding: If, subsequent to a fortuitous event, a livestock operation originally established under the Act and any applicable regulation is rebuilt but does not comply with the standards prescribed in section 11, the livestock operation must be rebuilt in the same place or at a greater distance from the reference points referred to in this Division.
A livestock operation that has thus been rebuilt must shelter the same type of livestock and a number of animal units that does not exceed that which it contained before it was demolished without, however, prejudice to the right to apply for a certificate of authorization for an extension, a change in the type of livestock, an increase in the number of animal units or a new livestock operation.
