NASM Plans

Non-Agricultural Source Material plans for biosolids, food processing waste, and other regulated materials applied to farmland.

What Is a NASM Plan?

A NASM (Non-Agricultural Source Material) Plan is required when materials such as biosolids, food processing waste, or other non-agricultural byproducts are applied to agricultural land. These materials are highly regulated under Ontario's Nutrient Management Act.
