What Is a NASM Plan?
A NASM (Non-Agricultural Source Material) Plan is required when non-farm materials like biosolids, food processing waste, or other regulated materials are applied to agricultural land.
Why Are NASM Plans Required?
These materials can contain nutrients and contaminants that need careful management. Ontario's Nutrient Management Act ensures they're applied safely and responsibly.
What Materials Need a NASM Plan?
Municipal biosolids, pulp and paper mill waste, food processing byproducts, anaerobic digester output, and other non-agricultural organic materials all require NASM plans.
