His accomplishments in the Geld of Education and in the R.C.A.F. as a Radar"Officer, and his support of and contributions to the Royal Ca- nadian Legion, the Western Alumni Association, and the Rotary Club, have been properly noted: else- where. The History Group recognizes the contribution John Given made to the written history of McGilliv- ray Township by serving on the 'Board of Directors of the History Group and on its Book Committee. This is the committee which pub- lished "McGillivray Township Re- members" to commemorate, in 1992, the 150th anniversary of lo- cal government in the Township. John was responsible in particular for researching and writing Chapter 3 on Education. The epitaph for Simon McGilliv- ray, namesake of the Township, may be applied' most appropriately .to John Given, namely, "He lived respected and died regretted". Charles P.

DATED AT THE TOWNSHIP OF USBORNE THIS 4TH DAY OF FEBRUARY, 1998. Sandra Strang, Clerk -Treasurer Township of Usborne R.R. #3 Exeter, Ont. NOM 1S5 (519) 235-2900 PURPOSE AND EFFECT: This by-law proposes to amend zoning by-law 13-1984 to incorporate the new minimum distance separation formula (MDS I & II) recommended by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. This amendment revises the current minimum distance separation requirements for the establishment of new farm buildings and for the establishment of non-farm related buildings and structures within the agricultural areas of the Township of Usborne. Also included are definitions for several terms used by the new formula. This by-law also incorporates setback requirements for liquid manure tanks from wells and watercourses and a minimum separation distance for the establishment of manure storage facilities. These requirements have historically been part of a by-law to regulate the location of manure pits. Also under consideration at this public meeting are revisions to the current by-law to regulate the location of manure pits. A Nutrient Management Plan is to be completed prior to the issuance of a building permit for a new livestock liquid manure system to serve an intensive livestock operation; or for an expanded livestock liquid manure system where the intensive livestock operation is being expanded by 20% or more. An intensive livestock operation is defined as including 150 livestock units or 50 or more livestock units on a Iandbase which exceeds 5 livestock units per tillable hectare. The Nutrient Management Plan includes an on-site review of the manure system, the available crop land and requires the design of a manure management strategy that recommends appropriate application rates. Also Included is an emergency action plan in the event of a spill or system failure. The amendment also recognizes the location of existing buildings by making Section 3.4. (Non Complying Provisions) effective on January 1, 1998. The zoning amendments are proposed as amendments to by4aw 13-1984. The changes to The liquid manure by - taw are proposed in accordance with The Municipal Act.
