Guides
The NRCB has prepared two guides to help livestock operators with permit applications under the Agricultural Operation Practices Act (AOPA).
- The NRCB Application Process Guide provides an overview of the AOPA application process, and
- How to Complete the AOPA Application Form provides information and examples to help livestock operators complete the application forms. This guide has been divided into sections to partner with the application forms.
The guides are available online and at all NRCB regional offices.
If you have any questions about the guides, please contact an approval officer at an NRCB regional office closest to you.
NRCB issues technical guidelines to provide clarification and direction to NRCB staff and the industry regarding the practical and technical aspects of implementing the Agricultural Operation Practices Act and its regulations. Below are two technical guidelines.
