If the S 150.00( -cost of the study (*
• funded by the taxpayer) is any
,indication. the one-time cost.of, a full
• audit could ex(:eed $15 million. The.
cost appcars.to he more manageable if -
:producers are held responsible. Each
initial audit would cost • -
approximately S3000 per site. •
In conclusion, the sitrdy .was an
important first step. It indicated nearly
•
40 per cent of the facilities and
surrounding areas have a problem.
There is no clear sense of direction as to
when and how these problems will be
identified and corrected. This study
supports -the position voiced by
PROTECT and many others, at the
recent OMAFRA public consultations:
1. A moratorium on the construction of
new facilities.
2. The . completion •of a full
environmental study, and
3. The creation of a more rigorous •
industrial legislative framework to
.manageboth existing and new intensive
livestock operations..
The study identifies problems with
storage facilities and the immediate area
surrounding them. The even bigger
problem is the lack of independent
scrutiny -and control over Nutrient
Management Plan practices.
PROTECT feels livestock producers
and the public have entrusted the
Ministry Of Agriculture Food and Rural
Affairs (OMAFRA). with responsibility
to provide
common sense livestock production
practices and regulations. Agricultural
producers and the public demand and
expect OMAFRA to provide leadership
- on this issue.- This Jeadership is
necessary to protect both agriculture and
our environment. The time for
OMAFRA.to fulfill their leadership roll
is -long overdue.
