Guideline for CFO Enforcement and Compliance Response to COVID-19 - updated

The Natural Resources Conservation Board (NRCB) has developed this enforcement and compliance guideline in recognition of the extraordinary circumstances facing confined feeding operations (CFOs) in Alberta due to COVID-19. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak to be a pandemic.  Alberta then also declared a public health emergency. The NRCB is issuing this guideline in an attempt to balance the protection of our natural resources against the challenges the livestock industry may experience.
