Updated grandfathering policy for confined feeding operations released

By Natural Resources Conservation Board (NRCB)

The Natural Resources Conservation Board (NRCB) has released an updated grandfathering policy for confined feeding operations in Alberta.

Operational Policy 2023-1: Grandfathering (Deemed Permit) replaces two previous policies (2016-5: Determining Deemed Capacity for Grandfathered CFOs and 2016-6: Public Notice for Grandfathering Decisions) with a single combined policy. The new policy provides greater transparency and will help streamline the grandfathering process.

The policy can be accessed on the NRCB website.

For more information on this policy, please contact Kevin Seward, NRCB Compliance Manager, at 403-331-0637 or kevin.seward@nrcb.ca.
