GLOSSARY Agricultural Source Material (ASM) – nutrients that are generated by livestock operations, such as manure. Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDC) – an exogenous agent that interferes with the synthesis, secretion, transport, binding, action or elimination of natural hormones in the body that are responsible for the maintenance of homeostasis, reproduction, development and/or behaviour. Non-Agricultural Source Material (NASM) – nutrients such as biosolids that are generated by the pulp and paper industry and municipal sewage treatment plants. Nutrients – materials, such as manure, biosolids (e.g. sewage sludge) and washwater, which are applied to land for the purpose of improving crop growth. Nutrient Management Plan (NMP) – a document including information about the farm and its fields; an analysis of the nutrients to be applied, how much will be applied and at what rate; setbacks from sensitive features, such as wells; and how the nutrients will be stored. Nutrient Management Strategy (NMS) – a document including a description and sketch of the farm, a list of the types and quantities of nutrients produced and of the storage facilities, and to whom the nutrients are distributed. Nutrient Unit - the amount of nutrients equivalent to the commercial fertilizer replacement value of the lower of 43 kg of nitrogen or 55 kg of phosphate. 121
