The Manitoba government is looking for feedback on proposed changes to the Livestock Manure and Mortalities Management Regulation (LMMMR).

The hope is to reduce unfair regulatory barriers and to streamline processes to protect the environment and remove duplication within legislation and regulation.

One of the proposed changes will allow increased flexibility in identifying spread field for new and expanding operations by removing minimum distance requirements for manure transport to field and focusing on the suitability of the field soils proposed.

The changes are expected to help facilitate growth of the livestock industry and its contribution to economic growth and employment opportunities in Manitoba.

Manitoba Sustainable Development will be accepting written submissions until May 12th, 2017.
