MINIMUM SEPARATION DISTANCE 1. DATA SHEET USE: To determine the minimum separation distance for livestock and poultry facilities within agriculture areas. PURPOSE: To permit the orderly development of livestock operations within agricultural areas, and to reduce the potential for environmental conflicts between livestock or poultry operations and non-compatible land uses. The following information is to be completed as it relates to the livestock operation. Farm Name/Owner ____________________ Address ____________________________ Postal Code_____________ Phone: (___) _____ - ____________ Fax: (___) _____ - _____________ This project consists of: New livestock or poultry facilities. Modifications to existing livestock or poultry facilities . Manure storage. Rebuilding (ie. after fire). Other ________________________ Use the table below to list the type and maximum number of livestock or poultry housed at any time on the property: HOUSING NUMBERS Type of Animal Housed/Fenced

SKETCH: The following items must be shown on the property sketch (below): Location of all lot lines. North direction Location and size of all existing and proposed buildings on the property. Distances in meters (or feet) from proposed structures to public roads and neighbouring dwellings. Location and distance in meters (or feet) of subject structures to all streams, ditches, severances, etc. Locations of all manure tanks, pads and earthen storages. Location and distances in meters (or feet) from subject structures to nearest zoned areas, if applicable. Locate and identify (drilled) water wells Current use of lands/buildings adjacent to property. Any other unusual siting conditions.

1) Procedure for Calculation of Existing / Additional Livestock Units Existing Livestock (a) divide by Animals per Livestock Unit (See Table 9) = Existing Livestock Units (b) Proposed increase in livestock (c) divide by Animals per Livestock Unit (See Table 9) = No. of Livestock Units after expansion (d)
Does the number of livestock fall within the normal range of livestock housing numbers for the structures as outlined in the Canadian Agri-food Research Council Codes of Practice? Yes ____ No ____ If not, please justify_________________________________________ 2) Calculation of Percentage Increase (Refer to above Calculations) No. of Livestock Units after expansion (Total 2) divide by Existing Livestock Units (Total 1) and x by 100 = % increase ( _____ ) 3) Calculation of Factors Refer to Table 9 for Factor A by Animal Type Factor A: ________ Total Livestock Units (Total 3 from above) and obtain Factor B from Table 10 Factor B: ________ Percent Increase from above and obtain Factor C from Table 11 Factor C: ________ Type of Manure System (Solid=0.7, Liquid=0.8) Factor D: ________ 4) Building Base Distance: (Meters) Factor A x Factor B x Factor C x Factor D = Base Distance 'F': _______ 5) Manure Storage Base Distance: (Meters) Take Base Distance 'F' and refer to Table 12 Base Distance 'S': _______ 6) Minimum Separation Distance may be reduced by 25% if prevailing summer winds are favorable to reducing odour nuisance.
