(3) The runoff potential of land for a hydrologic soil group set out in Column 1 of the following Table is set out in Columns 2, 3 or 4 opposite it where a liquid NASM is applied to an area with a maximum sustained slope described in the heading of Columns 2, 3 or 4.

2. Subsection 85 (2) of the Regulation is revoked and the following substituted:

(2) The maximum number of days for which prescribed materials, other than de-watered municipal sewage biosolids, may be stored in a temporary field nutrient storage site shall be determined in accordance with the following rules:

1. Determine which nutrient characteristics, management techniques or field conditions set out in Column 1 of the Table to this subsection apply to the site and follow paragraphs 2 and 3 for each one that is applicable.

2. If the number of days in Column 2 of the Table opposite the applicable nutrient characteristic, management technique or field condition set out in Column 1 is positive, add the number to the total number of days for which the site is available for storage.

3. If the number of days in Column 2 of the Table opposite the applicable nutrient characteristic, management technique or field condition set out in Column 1 is negative, subtract the number from the total number of days for which the site is available for storage.

4. The number that results from applying the rules set out in paragraphs 1 to 3 for each nutrient characteristic, management technique or field condition set out in the Table that is applicable to the site is the maximum number of days for which prescribed materials, other than de-watered municipal sewage biosolids, may be stored in the site but that number cannot exceed 300 days.
