I wish my opinion to be heard!! I cannot believe that the government is even considering removing the CofA's, have they all gone completely mad? I live beside fields that are sludged every year and am damn tired of being made ill by this practice and my animals being made ill.

Please consider adding NASM, under Section 3 (1) of O.Reg 347/90 as a material that is exempt from Part 5 of the Act and O.Reg 347/90.

Removing the requirement for a (Certificate of Approval) to spread Biosolids-sludge is totally unacceptable to me.

Comments regarding An improved regulatory framework for non-agricultural source materials - Draft EBR Consultation only December 20, 2007 Authors: Elisabeth Groeneveld, biologist, M.Sc. and Marc Hébert, agr., M.Sc.

The Municipality of West Grey requests that the Municipality be consulted with, and/or be involved in, discussions on policy development related to the regulation of NASM.

My comments include only NASM materials that have a known scientific benefit to agriculture and crop production through nutrient and organic soil improvements.

Section 4.0 Relationship to Source Water Protection Plans Is it intended that only NASM land application be restricted according to key water vulnerability indicators, or will land application of agricultural fertilizing materials such as manure and inorganic fertilizers also be restricted.

Dear Mr.

The Ontario Independent Meat Processors association is a non-profit industry organization representing 147 meat processing plants throughout Ontario. We are pleased to provide comments regarding the Environmental Registry posting 010-1436.

I think that sewage sludge, even under the acronym NASM , poses an undue health risk to both the land and water quality where it is spread. I think more rather than less government control is required in land application of this material.

The directors and members of the Thunder Bay District Soil and Crop Improvement Association (TBDSCIA) have concerns with the proposed legislative changes to the Nutrient Management Act, 2002 with implications to the categorization to Category 6 of wood ash applications to agricultural land.

Dear Mr Webster In regards to EBR 010-1436 COMMENTS, I am opposed to this proposed regulation. I live on a beautiful 30 acre property that has the dubious 'honour' of being next door to a massive dump of "sound-sorb" as gun club berming.

This letter is in reference to EBR 010-1236.

Dear SIr: There should be a ban on the land application of all waste materials that are contaminated with industrial pollutants such as inks, heavy metals, etc.
